Tear Drop Camping Trailers

Answer 1

Popular in the '30s and '40s, tear drop campers are making a comeback and may be the perfect solution for those camping enthusiasts who do not appreciate sleeping in a tent or may not have the towing capability that is required for one of the larger camping trailers.

Like an Extremely Comfortable Tent

Streamlined and lightweight, a tear drop camper is more like a luxurious, sturdy tent than a camping trailer. This cute little camper features dual entrances with screened windows that open, plenty of storage space, a large main sleeping area and a more-than-adequate, tail-gate-type kitchenette. Offering great protection from the elements, the tear drop has an impenetrable outer shell that is much like the type found on larger campers.

Maneuverability and Fuel Savings

Unlike a large camper or an RV, a tear drop camper does not take much horsepower to pull, so its owners will have an easier time at the gas pump. Some tear drops are small enough to be pulled by motorcycles.

Ready to Go with Less Gear

Some types of gear may no longer be necessary with a tear drop camper. Instead of sleeping bags, air mattresses and mess kits, the tear drop can be stocked with sheets, blankets, toiletries and non-perishable food, so it will always be ready to go.

Easy to Set Up

With the simplicity of their designs, the majority of tear drop campers are easier to set up than full-size campers or tents, so tear drop owners are able to enjoy less stressful camping experiences.

Closer to Nature

Although a tear drop camper offers a secure place to store things, a convenient place to cook and is sure to provide a very good night's sleep, this type of camper is too small to do much else, so its owners end up spending most of their time outside, getting closer to nature.
