Teardrop Trailers

Teardrop trailers are small, light weight, easy to pull, and great on gas. All of this and more makes them one of the most economical ways to RV. They were born after World War II--built from the spare parts of damaged war vehicles and airplanes.

Today they are popular again for the same reasons as in the past. There is no need to buy a more powerful vehicle to tow with because they can be pulled with most four cylinder engines.

They are sleek, aerodynamic, and fully customizable. I have noticed that people with classic retro vehicles love to have a matching camper. They love to show them off at car shows and gatherings.

For those who seek off road adventures there are modifications you can make to make the campers 4x4 ready. This way you can take your little bedroom on wheels with you to extend your journey off road.

Did you know that some teardrop trailers can be pulled by motorcycles?

They are becoming popular again because of their simplicity and affordability. For everyone who still wants to travel but does not want to do it at 8 to 15 miles per gallon these are a great option.

It is an upgrade from a tent and still offers the convenience of towing and going. You do not have to pack all your camping equipment because you can keep all that in the trailer, making it perfect for quick weekend get-a-ways.

They are the most economical way to RV—they are convenient, inexpensive, and fun while offering better protection from the elements and wildlife compared to a tent. Some now have generators and air conditioners installed!

They are great for those who desire to go camping on the weekends and they are also a good option for anyone who wants to go on a cross country road trip without spending as much money on gas and maintenance.
