Nice, John. It looks great.

[@j.danaclark89]

I build rvs for a living, and we use similar tech in certain areas. You guys have done a good job on this.

[@bodybalancer]

I LOVE what you guys do! I love to Kayak, SUP, and id love to learn to sail someday :) i also want a teardrop camper! Yours is the most beautiful, and affordable!!! Please don’t change, what you guys are doing is perfect 🙏 I just need some time to save up ✨

[@mlangfordcamper]

Wow that looks so much better than my home made teardrop I might just shut down my channel and stop building mine. These are nice

Súper .. Saludos desde Patagonia Chile

[@jimeus13]

Now all we need is for you to come up with a river boat hull that fits it!

[@83RBurke]

Very cool building process. I wonder what the feasibility of stretching the design lengthwise would be...say 30%?

[@veganlayabout6859]

Simply brilliant!!

[@marnomuth]

Hi, I was wondering if you offered built units for sale? Thank you for the great video!

[@vaioskaliakoudas6388]

Do the assembly mold and other pieces and parts come with the kit or I have to build them all by myshelf?

[@ericcole6940]

A few people have asked...but I don't see an answer...do you offer completed models? If not, do you recommend any builders?

[@CascadeLivingbyScottSpiker]

Looks really cool and an interesting variation of the diy idea. Just curious what the average finished trailer towing weight is?

[@nancyoffenhiser4916]

I Want!❤❤❤

[@Surfmus]

This is how I wanted to make it since I know how to glass.

[@frankbuckwalter9603]

It looks like a second pair of hands or three is a good idea. Do you have a list of tools recommended for the build?

[@ionsava2139]

super

[@brettshields1018]

Is the kit available in Australia? I assume the trailer isn't available /sold internationally? How do builders outside the US source a trailer to the correct specification for the completed camper; do you offer a plan for the trailer to allow local construction? Thanks

[@ChesapeakeLightCraftBoats]

Yes, through our agents, Denman Marine: www.clcboats.com/default/international.html#aus As for trailers, great pains were taken to make the Teardrop fit on just about any old small trailer. A flatbed, or boat trailer, that sort of thing. No serious problem-solving required by the builder.

[@minutemark]

A thousand thumbs up! I absolutely love this concept, and I sure do want one! Have you, or anyone else, experimented with using the kit parts as templates for making parts out of rigid foam board--to be coated in fiberglass in the same manner? I would think that having the foam board sandwiched in fiberglass would create a strong, insulated shell that would be much lighter than the plywood version. I just don't know if it would be strong enough. I know there are fiberglass teardrop campers in existence already, so I would think this would be doable. I desperately want something my Prius can haul without sacrificing fuel economy any more than necessary. I would love the opportunity to try it! What do you think?

[@Angel-kk5bb]

do you offer a private contractor to build if I didn't want to?

[@ayalapopeye]

lindo...

[@pesomasagravedad]

hi there CLC, I was wondering if you guys supply this kit to the UK?

[@ChesapeakeLightCraftBoats]

Yes, through our UK agents, Fyne Boat Kits: www.fyneboatkits.co.uk/

[@pesomasagravedad]

Chesapeake Light Craft awesome! I'll have to get in touch with them!

[@Steve-lh8by]

I have one on order from Fyne Boat Kits already.

[@max.coates5945]

Do u ship to Australia

[@carolinebradley6622]

Hi thanks for video how much do the kits cost ?

[@ChesapeakeLightCraftBoats]

They start around $2600. www.clcboats.com/shop/boats/recreational-vehicles/clc-teardrop-trailer.html

[@davidlocke5037]

How much does it weight?

[@ChesapeakeLightCraftBoats]

As you see it in the video, including the trailer, about 550 pounds or 250kg.

[@jayjacobs1504]

What about AC. I live in the south . Screens for the doors or windows would be nice.

[@ChesapeakeLightCraftBoats]

I've seen a lot of these with AC mounted in the storage box forward, and screens are easy to arrange.

[@larryfromwisconsin9970]

But what size trailer?

[@kjfuell]

How much for a kit?

[@ChesapeakeLightCraftBoats]

Teardrop Camper kits start around $2300. www.clcboats.com/teardrop

[@robertaltomari2260]

What size trailer do I need

[@ChesapeakeLightCraftBoats]

Five feet by eight feet.

[@johnwalter5875]

I like it...Hhhmmmm

[@scottflues9442]

It is slightly more than a long weekend's work to get to the finish show maybe you've got 2 people and you've done this before Still it's reasonable and I'm probably being hyper vigilantBecause epoxy does not forgive
