My Teardrop (specs)

I purchased my camper directly from a small-scale Canadian manufacturer. A true ultralight and micro-size 4′ (width) model was all I needed for me and my pup. With fewer standard features than high-end models, the Silver Bullet had all the essentials but still offered possibilities for me to upgrade and customize it as I wish. I also like the aluminum cladding which is low maintenance, even if a bit dull and not as showy as stained wood exteriors.

Keep in mind that my 4×8 Teardrop trailer is at the smaller end of the spectrum. Nevertheless, the specs & details below will provide at least a starting point if you are considering one of these types of campers.
