We Help Home-Builders!
People have been building teardrops since the 1930's. We
have had people ask us for plans, parts and advice so they can build their own.
We don't make plans at this stage, although we do intend to one day, but we are
more than happy to help out with parts, chassis, materials and advice.
Check out our
Parts & Accessories Page.
If you are looking to build your own is also a good idea to
check what other's have done before you start. You can find information on
other builders by:
- Clicking on the names of Aussie homebuilders like Keith
Gales and Paul Cotter using the buttons on the left of this page
- Going to the
Yahoo! Teardrop Campers chat group where you can chat to us and other
home builders online
- Going to our Teardrop Links
page where you will find links to teardrop builders all over the world

 Buying or Selling a Home-Built Teardrop Camper?
As you can see, we we are happy to create homepages so you can
show off your building expertise. Once you have finished building your
teardrop, we will even help you sell it by advertising on our
2nd Hand Teardrop page.
Be prepared to stick with it - A teardrop trailer is a great project
A teardrop is a simple concept, however, there is a
little
more to building one than you first might think. There are a few half built
teardrops in sheds and garages around the country as their well intentioned
builders hit obstacles, discovered that the cost of building is higher
than they thought or found new projects and other distractions. Our teardrops
take about 140 hours to build and that is with practice, jigs and templates.
 So if you are confident that you have
the skills and time to make your own teardrop and you are looking for a project
to sink your teeth into, we are more than happy to help out. We love
teardrops in all varieties and are keen to see what others come up with.
The main thing is to get out their and enjoy the great outdoors, and teardrops
are a great way to do just that.
Registering a Home Built Teardrop Camper
The cost and paper work required to register a home built
camper trailer depends on which Australian state you live in and the weight of
your camper. We have included links to the relevant pages of various
transport authorities, however, some are easier to find and to follow than
others. Some have information specific
to trailers/caravans and some don't. If someone finds more appropriate
links, I would be happy to add them.
