1989 American Teardrop Outbacker

Hi All

I recently mostly restored one of these fine gems. They are not fiberglass. They are polyethylene. Did a frame off with de-rusting, primer, paint, new u-bolts, gas struts, weather stripping, wheels n tires, led tail lites, etc. The body had layers of sequins and paint that were removed. I would say this is a real minimalist trailer. The gull wind doors are attention getters.

All true. Mine is unrestored, but too small for me.

I don't know. Probably not much. I'm in Northern Calif. Where are you?

Just saw one of these this week in Pinetop, AZ. First one I’ve spotted in the wild.
