Teardrop Trailers have been around for almost 100 years. Why is that?
Why are they as popular now as they ever were when they came out in the 1930s? It’s all due to them being a timeless piece of history that provides certain travel benefits that can’t be found in other travel trailers or recreational vehicles.
Teardrops provide their owners a service that is ideal for ultimate exploration or other voyages that leave other travel methods wanting. With all of the experiences that you gain from a teardrop adventure, you fundamentally gain self-sufficiency and cost effectiveness.
Let’s break it down to see the various conveniences teardrop campers provide:

This really opens your traveling prospects to a whole new world.
- Storage Options – Storing your trailer became easier! Since teardrops aren’t usually longer than 10 feet, your model is likely to fit in your current garage space. You can store this trailer and protect its length of life by storing when not in use. Will last you that much longer, while adding to the cost effectiveness.
- Luxuries of Home – Bring all the comforts of home to help you relax along your travels. Have a favorite comforter or electric blanket, well you have a plug-in source. Need extra food or cooking utensils, then you have a whole kitchen galley in back to fill with the things you can’t live without. Not only does this make for an enjoyable trip, but you add to the cost effectiveness by not spending money along the way that you don’t need to. It makes it all the more luxurious should you have a model that contains an indoor shower unit or outdoor shower tent.
- Lower in Weight – Teardrop trailers can be towed using your current vehicle. This saves on having to invest in a larger rig to tow a larger trailer.

- Alternate Accommodations– Should you travel for work or personal reasons on a regular basis, a teardrop trailer may provide a quick and safe alternative to stuff and expensive hotel rooms.
