This is my replica 1947 Modernaire Teardrop Trailer I built in 2008 and 2009

At the beginning of the project. just like when building a boat or any hand crafted work of art, it should be named after someone that captured your heart.
So for this reason, and because honestly I liked the sound of the name, it was named and pronounced "The Wood'yrd".

Once I had reached the completion stage, I was not happy with the pronunciation "Wood Yard" that people were interpreting the name as,
and since it had changed from what I was building to what I had built, and I could actually take it out and begin using it,
I decided it was a good opportunity for a name change to: The "Vagabond King".

This grandiose name didn't seem to stick for long as it had been named ad hoc "The Luxury Tent" and was typically referred to as the "LT",
so this is the name that stuck. A lesson learned, name it what you will call it.

These pages chronicle the in-depth details of the build possibly only interesting to those interested in building one.

This section has been "retired" as of Sept 09 and all future updates are available on the Vagabond King page!
