We'll be there Wednesday. SVIP RV. We're in a very small camper (teardrop) being pulled by a very large truck.

Did not know you rocked a teardrop. Homemade? Purchased? What size? 4x8? 5x10? What kind of galley? Questions questions questions???

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.

What happens if I take both?

Yes.....spill. My latest obsession is the wish for a teardrop. Who wants to give me $12,500 for a Little Guy T@G Max?

Had not seen the Honey Badgers before. Those are some nice looking campers. I think we are now more interested in A-Frames.

A-Liner Expedition would be ideal. $11-15,000

That's a beauty. We were really hot to get one but they are just too small for what I want to do with it.I want to be able to tow it without a giant truck I need to be able to stand up and I want hard sides. The A Frame seems to be the best of both worlds.

Unfortunately can't sign the roll call but wanted to chime in and say those are some cool teardrops guys.

I have been pondering on one of these, I don't have the budget (or need) for a big camper and have wanted a trailer for my canoe and kayak for awhile.

Congrats to those getting in early, I hope it helps us all.

Someone had a nice home made tear drop at Lockn last year. Started with a small tractor supply utility trailer and four sheets of plywood for the bottom, sides, and curved top. Lots of plans on the internets.

I saw a small converted horse trailer at Roo VIP this year. Cramped but comfy.

Okay, but if you're gonna seriously try to spin stuff off every time it goes off-topic, I can tell you you'd better enjoy a rousing game of whack-a-mole!

Not every time but that one seemed to go WAY off topic and I thought it deserved it's own thread. Judgement call...

Ironically, this new stand-alone thread created for discussion of Tear Drop Campers has now veered off into discussing whether or not off-topic conversations should be moved to their own thread. Now I guess we need a new thread for that subject.

We started in tents. That lasted 12/15 years. We then moved to a pop-up. Loved it. I absolutely had to have something bigger. Swapped to a 30' tag-along. Hated it. Too big, more difficult to pull, more difficult to park, store, set up, tear down. Got rid of it and went back to tents. L1's heat while tent camping put us back in the market for a small camper. Thought we'd be back in a pop-up but found the teardrops to be perfect. Ours is store-bought and pretty big as teardrops go. Footprint is about 6' x 13.5'. I can stand up straight at the entrance but it slopes quickly in both directions. Floor plan works well with the slopes.
