The Love Bird Company owner, Ronald Sponselee, had big dreams of building a teardrop trailer that he could rent out to holidaymakers in the summer. Essentially, it was a money-maker project. And it was no ordinary teardrop trailer, either. It was a spectacular copper-clad model that well and truly took Steampunk to new heights.
However, as Ronald poured his heart and soul into the project and reached the final stages, he realised he was having a change of heart. He thought the camper was just too pretty to be rented out to strangers. Instead, he would go camping in it himself.
Ronald Sponselee decided to create a Steampunk-style teardrop trailer so he could rent it out to holidaymakers. While the final result looks entirely brand new, he built the trailer’s base from an old caravan and covered it with 0.5mm copper plates.
Ronald quickly fell in love with his Steampunk creation and decided not to rent it out. Instead, he chose to complete the project for himself and use it to go camping. This teardrop trailer can’t help but stand out from the crowd with its shiny copper cladding and unique intricate details.
Most teardrop trailer kitchen gallery areas are no more than functional for preparing meals and beverages. However, this Steampunk trailer’s galley is altogether different. It has been decorated with world maps, creating a grand feature when you pull open the trailer door. All kitchen utensils are functional but carry the same beautiful Steampunk, classic, and copper themes.
The kitchen galley in the Steampunk trailer has been cleverly designed with nine convenient drawers for storage. All of them have been fitted with copper pipe handles for both elegance and function.
Donald thought of everything when designing the galley in his trailer, right down to the fun Steampunk decorations that tie the Steampunk theme together.
It’s not just the trailer’s exterior and kitchen gallery that have been designed in a Steampunk style. The interior is just as intricately detailed. Alongside the copper fixtures and earthy tones, there are also two whimsical wall-mounted cabinets for storage and style.
The bedroom part of the teardrop trailer has been thoughtfully decorated with old world maps and a transparent acrylic plate. Alongside being stylish, the plate also brings in plenty of natural light. Two lamps enhance the available light.
The bedroom part of the trailer has enough room for up to two guests overnight.
Donald’s dog, Boots, approves of the Steampunk camper. He takes pride of place on Donald’s bed in the rear of the trailer. Access is made easy with two Steampunk-style doors with windows. You can follow Ronald Sponselee’s work on Facebook and Instagram.
