Design the exterior shape of the teardrop trailer. A basic teardrop trailer has a bed dimension of 4 by 8 feet, an exterior maximum height of 56 inches and a small door opening on one side.
Assign a scale for drawing up the exterior teardrop trailer plans; for instance, 1 foot equals 1-inch is a standard scale for drawing plans. At a 1/12 scale, plans will fit on an 18-by-24-inch piece of tracing paper. However, if you choose to work with 8-1/2-by-11-inch tracing paper, a smaller scale — such as 1/15 — may fit better.
Draw up exterior plans to scale on tracing paper for the teardrop trailer. Include front, sides, and back elevations (illustrations) of how the completed trailer will look.
Design the interior of the teardrop trailer. Generally, a teardrop trailer interior provides room for a 68-by-44-inch mattress, and a small table or storage cabinets. However, interiors vary greatly, only limited by the dimensions of the trailer and needs of the designer.
Create detailed drawings of the interior, including finished measurements for a bed, any cabinets, a table, a closet or any other desired feature.
Draw in window(s) placement to the exterior elevations when the interior design is completed.
