Build of my personal tear drop camper

My camper has allowed me to meet a large number of people who want to take a closer look and ask questions about it. The first and sometimes only question is "Did you build it yourself?" Once they find out I did build it the next question is  how i managed to bend the wood.  The outer shell is thin marine grade plywood which is strong enough to allow bending it enough to get it to fit the a custom built cradle.
The wood is cut and placed into the cradle and held in place with wire stiches passed through holes in the sides and in the frame. The seams are all bonded with a two part epoxy and strips of fiber glass. 

Once the shell assembly is complete the whole thing gets turned right side up and the cradle is removed.  N there is a lot of sanding followed by an application of two layers of fiberglass with and epoxy resin.  A lot of additional sanding and layers of varnish to protect the resin and leave the wood grain visible. 

These are only some of the highlights of the build. Don't know if the web could handle all the actual photos I took during the process. Thank goodness for digital photography or developing the photos would have cost me a fortune.  I built the entire trailer with very little assistance so no one was available to shoot video of  the process but I took a lot more pictures than I will ever show here. 

When asked if would do it again my answer is that I did a good job so I don't need to do it again. But yes I would still have done it knowing what the entire process was like. If I someone I know wants to follow in the same footsteps my only recommendation is to buy the wood pre cut rather than cutting the wood your self. I added a lot of time to my project because my joints between panels were not perfect enough to supper glue to hold pieces while epoxied joints dry.
