Visitor's Story

The Teardrop camper trailer is exactly that, a camper shaped like a tear drop and has just as much luxury as a pop up camper.

The back of the camper flips up and exposes a little kitchen.

The front has a little opening for entrance to the sleeping quarters.

A table attaches outside for dining and a few lawn chairs for sitting works very well for eating and preparing meals.

The teardrop styled camper has been around since 1949 from what I been able to find. They have not changed the style, but have added some unique upgrades to the body and interior.

The two wheel free Teardrop camper plan allows people to design and build a camper without too much difficulty. The neat little camper homemade Teardrop style allows campers the ability to enjoy the outdoors even more than a pop up camper does.

The year of 1989 or 1990, I had the opportunity to see a camper of this type in Iowa late one fall. The camper is definitely unique and can be seen all over. Hunters like the little campers for hunting in the woods. The space does not matter when you hunt and sleep. Down in Kansas I saw a Teardrop camper that had some nice lightwood around the kitchen area and the sleeping area was done with the same wood color with a queen size bed.

The Teardrop camper trailer with a kitchen and sleeping quarters with an available screen tent with privacy flaps makes a nice little camper for anyone. The shape of the camper resembling a tear drop makes plenty of room for one to two people, although I have heard about people having up to three people in the camper. It all depends on the size and room.
