1 – 2 Person Teardrop camper trailers
Filed under
Off the Grid
Teardrop campers, once popular in the 1920-40’s, have stated to become very popular again. In fact, some people have sold everything to travel the country with their little teardrop trailers.
Teardrop trailers are a great option as an add on to your B.O.V. They are extremely light and can be pulled with something as small as a V.W. Bug.

Now there is an idea I hadn’t thought of…
Add some tubing, bigger tires, and you have a nice off-road tear drop
In the past I saw on a site how to make your own tear-drop! That may be a fun rewarding project for some too.
I have one and I pulled it from Texas to Alaska and back with no toubles. It pulls effortlessly and is a very safe place to sleep in bear country. Actually, some of the Canadian camp grounds will not let you stay in a soft wall camper because of the bears. The back “chuck wagon” kitchen is cool also. When it rained, the door was very helpful in keeping the rauin off of me while I cooked. IKt pulled great behind my Jeep and I still got almost 16mpg pulling the camper. It is also a head turner. If you get one, be prepared to show it off because every where I went someone wanted to check it out.

I’m interested in the 5th trailer pictured (w/ caption ‘photo by freshelectrons@Flickr’). Do you know the name of the maker?
The camper in the 5th photo is a TAB. We own a Little Guy 6′ Wide with a toy hauler. We tent camped for years before purchasing our teardrop, which is easily hauled by our Jeep Rubicon. Robert Floyd is correct – every place we go people want to look inside the camper. They are always amazed at the king sized bed inside!!
Looking for some one to build me a tear drop
I want a teardrop. Please email me if anyone knows where there is one for sale. I am in eastern PA. Don’t want to have to drive across the country to get one. mergeoneworld@gmail.com
Thanks for your help.

We are waiting for our 560 raindrop from Camp-Inn (www.tinycampers.com) and can’t wait! It’ll be great to take our daughter out without having to set up a tent. It has a queen size bed and a mini couch that turns into a bunk for two kids under 4’8″. We don’t mind tenting but medical issues make it a no go for us right now. Camp-Inn’s website includes links to their competitors, so it’s a good place to start for questions about teardrops and links to on-line forums.
ready to hit the road after i build my dream!
