I am a retired panel beater and coach builder and have always enjoyed working with my hands.  I built the house we live in and found working with wood a nice change to metal and an interesting challenge.  After completing my dream of rebuilding/ restoring an EH ute, I was Bored! Bored! Bored!

Lorraine suggested I needed a new project, and after we saw a teardrop caravan behind a '34 Ford while we were an holidays in Warrnambool she asked me to build one to go behind the EH. After checking out info on the computer and a lot of phone calls to Reiner of Aussie Teardrop Campers, I started building one on the 15th June 2008. I really enjoyed building my first teardrop camper, and have lots of ideas for another.
