Teardrop Camping

A Teardrop is a compact travel trailer consisting of a sleeping cabin and a kitchen compartment. My Teardrop is styled after teardrop travel trailers from the 1930's and 1940's. A Teardrop gets its name from its unique streamlined shape. Teardrops were popular in the 1930-40's and have recently been regaining in popularity.

Although Teardrops are small, They have more than enough room for 2-3 people. Teardrops sleep two comfortably with enough headroom to sit up. The sleeping cabin can double as storage/cargo space during travel.

The kitchen area is accessible from the outside rear of the trailer. The kitchen compartment, has ample storage space for a cooler, dry-goods, portable stove, cooking and eating equipment and utensils. The kitchen can be used with minimal setup. It even works well for a quick meal at a roadside rest area.

To follow my adventures through the year just go to my journal.
