I'm building one (slide in teardrop for my Snowbear Utility trailer)
I am into the 50 MPG motorhome plan. It will go behind my 97 Passat TDI Wagon that is getting equipped with a Motoraide HW heater, ref, and outdoor shower.
My 'other motorhome' only gets 18 - 22 mpg (Rialta).
I have gone to some Teardrop conventions, and there are many nice units around and available for purchase. They can soak up a few WINTERS to fabricate. I'm just gonna use a fiberglass topper that will hinge or telescope up, and velcro walls. Slide in 'component' campgear, as I also do offroad / van / station wagon / car / RV / motorcycle camping.
Oh, we would like to see pics, if you care to share along the way. Sounds like a great plan, StealthRabbit!

You have to realize I'm a 'reformed' westy camper, and just trying to enjoy a 50 mpg RV that burns WVO and has a shower, so... the options are a bit limited. (Light and LOW) and STEALTH of course http://www.google.com/imgres?q=teard...:31,s:300,i:97
If I were to buy a teardrop camper outright from a manufacturer, what are the good brands to look for?
