Teardrop trailer: classic 50’s mobile micro-home renaissance

Teardrop trailers first became popular in the 1930s when Scientific American and Popular Mechanics published DIY plans. The idea was simple: a travel trailer small enough to accommodate plywood-only construction, so easy enough for any user to build. The concept fell out of favor for a few decades, but has come back into fashion now that plans are easily accessible online. The layout is classic minimalism; the inside section is the bedroom and the kitchen (or galley) opens up out of the trunk.
