    VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
    This 5x10 teardrop was a father and son project built with Baltic birch plywood. After having his tent flood at an event, Philip decided to build his very own DIY teardrop. The teardrop has a circular door, ample power outlets, plenty of storage, and a remote kitchenette and toilet.
    It's amazing that this beautiful camper was built in 1 month with only $3k invested! The build is full of amazing design ideas that others could certainly use in their own build. Someone would have everything they need to live simple on the road road while living tiny.
    While this camper is only used for trips, it could absolutely be used for full time use!

    Would you help someone make one for themselves

    If you add a few coats of polyurethane on the outside, it'll be waterproof. Hope it helps.

      Would that trap moisture in the wood & make black spots?

      The leaking is mostly the edges of the galley door.

    If you make or buy a flag, like an orange safety flag, and attach it to the trailer latch, you would find alignment alone much easier. Thanks for the video, cute little trailer you have there. Nice work.

    A reversing camera fitted to your vehicle makes it extremely easy to reverse and hook up in my experience. when I purchased my ute it had a reversing camera fitted and it made it so easy, the camera was a micro camera mounted on the license plate and was adjustable. would highly recomend.

    Very nice. I always wonder about these tear drop camlers. Would they be more air dynamic if it was pulled from the other end.

    It's not that big but for one or two people
    it's probably enough room, but still it would
    be great to have especially for camping and
    short distance traveling, yeah this is really very
    nice to have and Thank You for showing this.🤠👋

    Watch out with that votive candle heater - those candles can offgas chemicals that do not behoove humans. I’d get a wool or electric blanket. ✌️

    Question for for tiny home tours. What's the smallest single story tiny home that people would be interested in? I'm looking to build a small but well crafted and thought out tiny home to sell.

    • @TinyHomeTours
      @TinyHomeTours  Před 10 měsíci

      That's a tricky question to answer just because people have such varying preferences when it comes to size/design of a tiny home.
      It looks like right now the average tiny home is around 225 sq ft and on average the tiniest clocks in at about 60 sq ft. I think playing around to see what design/size you like best would be a good start.
