Integrated Cargo Carrier - Paper Plans & PDF Manual
This package is for builders who want to start from scratch and cut out their own parts. (You do not need to purchase this option if you are building from a kit.)
The ICC "Plans & Manual Only" option includes full-sized patterns for every part in the Integrated Cargo Carrier and a digital assembly manual in PDF format (delivered, via a link on your emailed order receipt).
If you'd prefer a printed copy of the ICC manual, one "ICC Manual Only" must be added to the cart, in addition to the "ICC Plans & Manual Only" option.
The lavishly illustrated manual contains many detailed drawings, full-color photos, materials lists, and tool lists.
Plans and instructions are in both metric and imperial measurements.
Patterns comprise two large sheets, laser-printed for minimal distortion and shipped in a roll.
The level of detail is several orders of magnitude greater than what you can expect from an old magazine article and plans of that caliber.
There are various ways to transfer the patterns to the plywood. Our favorite method is to use an awl or an ice pick to indent the plywood:
Then simply connect-the-dots freehand (photo of Teardrop Camper plans):
Use a small circular saw and/or a saber saw to cut out the parts (photos of Teardrop Camper plans).
For smaller parts, the full-sized patterns may be glued to the plywood with spray adhesive, and cut on a bandsaw (photos of Teardrop Camper plans).
