Home Built - Val Jelobinski - $14,000 ono

Here is our Vintage Style Teardrop Caravan / Camper Trailer. Inspired by the images from 1940s, but entirely new design and has been created as one off. Sleeps comfortably 2 Adults and 1 child. (Full size double bed foam mattress) and 1 Child. (Child bed is 1.4 m. long and is placed across the sleeping area. Easily removable and is very spacey for two). I built it in 2009. First registered on 25/11/2009. Registered till 25/11/2011. We have taken it camping 5 times and it has done about 3500 km in total. Always been garaged (Except for camping of-course) Has been constructed at my Art Studio in Marrickville and took about 18 Months in total. By the time I finished it our child grew out of it and it's too small for us now. I simply need some space to build a new bigger one, so this one unfortunately has to go.

  • Vintage Holden wheels. Frame is new. Everything has been done from the scratch on the spot. Frame was welded by a professional welder. Walls are Marine Ply, roof is Fiberglass over plywood. Front is fibre-glass, Pop Up roof is Aluminium, Pop Up walls are canvas. Details are Red Gum and Spotted Gum Hardwood.
  • Very well balanced trailer and is very easy to tow! Weight is 440 kg.
  • Dimensions: Body 2.4 m x 1.42 m. With tow bar length 3.5 m. Height 1.8 m.
  • 7 Pin flat socket. Inbuilt 3 small solar panels on the roof and a socket for external panel (included in sale). It has 3 Separate independent power systems (that guarantee you always have enough power) 240V socket on side for external connection, 12V (2 small lithium batteries that are easily charged by 12 Watts of solar panels in total. One could be connected to charge from car battery (has everything to connect it to the socket), 6V powered by Small solar panels on the roof and has a connection for external Lantern Battery just in case. Except 240 all lights are LED and can run on a single charge for few days. Has 2 x 12V sockets, one inside and one in a kitchen area. I run our DVD player or Laptop from those sockets and it works fine.
  • We use Portable Cartridge Gas Stove in the kitchen (not shown on pictures). Pop up roof have been added later to add more space and give it more air, when zipper open you can watch stars. Has insect mesh on all windows including pop up. 3 windows with window winders operable from inside. Curtains on all windows and window protector on the front of camper that I close wile on the move. Lots of storage. Entire under bed area 20 cm high, front compartment accessible from the inside and 3 cupboards under it's kitchen + 2 draws and 2 cupboards above the kitchen table. Lots of pockets inside + 1 folding table and a bottle holder. Lots of lights everywhere inside and in the kitchen.
  • More pictures here http://www.valmast.com (with some construction history.) I've tried to describe it as accurately as I could, but maybe I have missed something, so please don't hesitate to ask any questions.

Home Built - Peter Kimmorley - $8,250 ono

Peter is a friend of Reiner's and a Vietnam Vet who built this Teardrop about 3 years ago especially to take it to Cape York and back. Peter has done his big trip and then some, but has now discovered kayaks and the sea…..so the Teardrop needs to go.

Reiner made the chassis for Peter using a rolled one piece A-frame making it solid as a rock.  Peter then did a terrific job building the teardrop and included:

  • Watertank, fitted sink and 12V water pump
  • sparewheel underneath
  • AGM Battery
  • Suzuki 4WD wheels and springs setup for soft off road stuff

The teardrop needs a little TLC and finishing touches but it is 90% finished and very solid.  It is ideal for somebody who hasn’t got the time to build a whole Teardrop but wants to play with a new toy, turning this one into a very nice setup.

The Teardrop is at Reiner's place here in Brisbane and at Peter's asking price, it won't last long. So if you are interested... be quick! 

For more information and pictures of Peters' teardrop build, check out his homebuilders page on this site.

Home built - George Sansbury - !!!SOLD!!!

  • 8ft long and 4 ft. wide, weight approx. 300kg. which is so light that you don't even notice it when towing - tows with only 40kg. coupling weight
  • Side door and a side window plus a roof vent, so stays cool!
  • Inside is a twin size foam mattress, with a conventional teardrop kitchen arrangement at the back
  • The spare is under the teardrop just behind the axle, for easy access

I have the plans for Mk.2 (to accommodate an electric buggy inside) and am really keen to get started. However I need the garage space so Mk.1 has to go. This teardrop has just been completed (a labour of love) and has been on a wildly successful maiden run to Wilson's Prom (see photo's).  Asking price of $4,000 covers materials but doesn't, of course, reflect the hundreds of hours put into it - so it is a great buy.
