Post Magillas dirt road tear drop
I have just started to build an off road version of a tear drop camper trailer, when finished it will be 3000 long X 1500 X 1500.
Steel frame, aluminium clad, slipper springs, electric brakes, 265/75R16 tyres on sunrasia rims.
will post some pics along the way.

Magilla,
That looks like a good project.
Keep the pictures coming as you progress with it.
What is your estimated build time ?
Take it easy.

Progressing slowly, Xmas has held things up. Got into it over the weekend and started to flesh it out a bit. Got some second hand doors to cut down to fit which include opening windows, noice. As for a completion date, sooner rather than later, but I guess if I have it finished by this Xmas that would be good.

Gday mate,
I use photo bucket. http://photobucket.com , you have to register , no cost
Upload picture to there in your own gallery
Edit size to suit page of thread

Then once that is done

Left click on the IMG box below (Still in photobucket which Hilights the link) and then right click and select copy

Then paste that link into the thread in which you want to reply to
Click on submit reply (in this case on the caravan and motorhome thread , and when the waiting is over the picture should appear in your reply or thread, yes "should", but me and computers dont always see eye to eye, I use this for all the forums I am in)

Dunno Rosco about picasso, photobucket is an image hosting site, you dont need to download it as a programme, but you upload your photos to it, and then provide links back to it.
You can put a single photo in it and then use a link from it in any forum you want. I am in a few differant types of forums but use photo bucket for all of them. I can be in this forum , 4wd action, aussie tear droppers and a mountain bike forum and provide a link for a photo from them back to a single photo in photobucket.

yup thats an esky, on top of that is a bottle jack to stop my picnic table from sagging under the pressure of the wedges and timber holding the ply in place while the sikaflex bonds it to the steel frame. Trying not to use screws.
