Why Teardrop Travel Trailers Are Simply The Best
The ultra-cool, light and portable teardrop travel trailers are the Mini's of the trailer world. If you are a young couple out to enjoy a spontaneous camping trip in style, then you simply can't beat one of these cozy light campers.

Teardrop travel trailers came to fashion about 50 years ago and then dropped out of style again in the 80's, only to re-emerge again in force 15 to 20 years ago, firstly in Australia and Europe, then the US and the rest of the road.
The teardrop is a trailer with a special kind of iconic style, because of its size, ease of use and what it has come to symbolize - the freedom of the open road in the camping world. Almost any vehicle can tow one of these light creatures, unlike most other trailers, which need more horsepower behind them. There are regular massive meetings, or rather gatherings, of teardrop trailer owners in various places around the world, as young campers come together to celebrate their freedom.
A typical teardrop trailer is about 8 feet by 4 feet, has one cozy one and a half sized bed, enough for two but not more. Plus plenty of very ingeniously packed storage space and fold-out drawers and even tables inside, although you really can't do too much more than sleep in one of these. The ones with kitchens - most models - have them outside at the back, usually under a fold-up hood. You set up a cover for the rain, if necessary, open up the hood and cook your meals relaxing in camping chairs at the back. You can plug the stove up to an electrical outlet in most camping sites.
Teardrop travel trailers are simply the best. But to be honest they are not for everyone. Any family camping will simply not have enough space in a teardrop unless you bring an extra tent for the kids to sleep outside. And if you prefer some creature comforts, such as tables and chairs inside your trailer, and somewhere to cook in the warm, then again you want to grab a bigger trailer.
But for those who love the style of a teardrop then here are a few tips on how to find a good one for good value. If you are buying used, make sure that you shop around and have a good understanding of the sort of price that is reasonable. This will help you to negotiate the price with confidence as well as know you are getting a good offer. If you have seen the pictures on the internet advert and it all looks good, when you see the trailer in the flesh, make sure you carefully check all the parts and areas that we not in the pictures. And always look under the trailer carefully, checking for signs of rust especially around the wheel axels.
If you are getting a new teardrop travel trailer then make sure you get a good deal on the price, but also on the warranty and offers of service at a later date. Like a car, the upkeep of a trailer can rise to surprisingly high costs over time and what seems like a good deal on the initial purchase may end up being dwarfed by the later costs.
