Anyone here built a teardrop caravan?

Since the fiancée has informed me she's not a fan of camping I've decided to have a go at a teardrop style home built caravanette to pull behind the jago
Anyone here built one or got any useful tips?

Nope but lying on the beach this week I found this, was a very good read and an excellent build

That's very impressive (though not as impressive as his workshop!) but with the amount of thick plywood used I reckon it will be a pretty heavy lump to tow.

I started to build one in 2011, then I ran out of money, it's still in the back garden covered with a tarp.

Here is a link to my Google+ Gallery. http://goo.gl/N07Wk

If that doesn't work, here's my Flickr Gallery. http://goo.gl/iJIU1

Although I started to build this for the Locost, I think it might be too heavy with the steel chassis and wood, I think fibreglass would be lighter.
