I mentioned in Teardrop Trailer Buying Advice that I would have rather had a higher wattage solar panel on the roof of my Teardrop camper than what was supplied with it. But last autumn I made an addition to the power system that was simple, relatively inexpensive, and quite effective. Before getting to describing the …
[AUTUMN 2023] Next time you're driving Ontario Hwy 17 between Sault Ste Marie and Espanola/Sudbury, when you get to the junction of 548 (about 45 minutes east of the Sault) take a 5 minute detour to find a lovely roadside rest stop on its own little island at the north end of the bridge to …
[AUTUMN 2023, Ontario] Rossport campground is located on the north shore of Lake Superior between Nipigon (50km) and Marathon (100km). Being right on the Trans-Canada/Hwy 17, it makes a convenient stop-along-the-way and is heavily used by the RV community for exactly that purpose. But even though this campground appears small and unassuming at first glance, …

Even though most Teardrop trailers are lightweight--often around 1000lbs or less--they can still feel like a brute to move around manually. What's more, trying to push or pull it supported just by the little tongue jack wheel you could badly hurt yourself or cause damage if you cannot fully control it. A trailer dolly is …
I got back a couple weeks ago from my main trip of the season, 18 days focusing on the east and north shores of Lake Superior. I've got a few coming blog posts in mind from that trip but in the meantime check out this new page I've added to the blog, based on some …
An unavoidable, even if mostly unspoken, logistical consideration for Teardrop trailer outings is toileting. When people first see a little Teardrop camper they might wonder—Is there a toilet in there? I was one of those people… though once I actually got a Teardrop I my thoughts were more like—Seriously? How the heck would a toilet …
[Summer2023] Back in early June I did a 7 day around-Georgian-Bay trip, with camping stops at Manitoulin, Killarney and Killbear. The scenery was awesome but the conditions were horribly buggy, plus a bout of rain added to the mix, and more than once I was feeling so glad I made the choice I did for …
Did you read the Simplest Teardrop Upgrade Ever blog post? Well, this is about perhaps the second-simplest, though minor cost involved in this one. During my inaugural trip of the season in early May, I was sitting there staring at the galley and realized there is “blank space” above the cooler. Now, with the small …
[SPRING 2023, Ontario] Cape Croker Park is a large (500+ acres) woodland campground located on the Saugeen Bruce Peninsula, a half-hour northeast of Wiarton or about 90 minutes drive from Tobermory. While Tobermory, at the tip of the peninsula, is known for the National Parks (Bruce Peninsula & Fathom Five), the ferry to Manitoulin Island, …
Like many Teardrop trailer kitchens, mine has a paper towel holder mounted on the inside of the rear lift gate, essentially the galley ceiling. And like many Teardrop trailer owners, I have sat many a time watching the breeze artfully unwind my paper towel roll. At Cape Croker Park, on Georgian Bay I'm not entirely …
