I spent a lot of time comparing and considering Teardrop trailer options before I bought mine. And now I have a full camping season and 4000+ Teardrop kilometres behind me. So, what are some of the considerations I would suggest to prospective owners? Trailer Size A 4-footer (width) is great if you want to go …
If your Teardrop trailer road trip is much beyond a week or so, you're probably going to need to do some laundry at some point. Perhaps it will be part of one of those road trip rest days I suggested you count on needing to allow time for. If you're at an organized campground, there …
So far I have logged over 4000 km with my Teardrop trailer over the course of one full camping season last year plus an inaugural trip the year before. I find that I’m still navigating how “to be” on road trips, living in a teardrop trailer for two weeks or more. The answer methinks lies …
Some of my friends call me as a coffee snob. I think that's just a quicker way to say aficionado or connoisseur, right? 😉 One of the things I love about my little Teardrop camper is that the galley is always ready go, whether for whipping up a quick bite or making a fresh coffee …
[Autumn 2022] The day-use area at Old Woman Bay, 25 km south of Wawa, Ontario, must surely be one of the most spectacular roadside rest stops to be found. I'm not outing a hidden gem, this place is well-known. On a fair weather day it will be busy, but there's lots of space for everyone. …
Without an inverter in your solar-powered Teardrop trailer, you can only operate things which use 12 volts DC from your battery. An inverter steps up the voltage to 120 and changes it from DC to AC so that you have “house current” in your trailer and can plug in some similar types of things you …
[Autumn 2022] On the second half of a road trip around northern Ontario (not way north, like "up there", but along the east and northeast coast of Lake Superior, then back down to Wawa and inland from there), along Hwy 129 less than an hour south of Chapleau, I came across an interesting roadside attraction …
Luna, my faithful and ever-happy road trip companion, loves the Teardrop! In fact I have a strong suspicion that, with the securely enclosed shape and smallish size inside the Teardrop camper, she figures it’s like a den—that she allows me to sleep in LOL. Luna, just on the cusp of 40 lbs, is a medium-sized …
[AUTUMN 2022, Ontario] I am generally hesitant to point out "hidden gems", lest they lose their lustre from no longer being hidden. But this one is far enough off the beaten track that I doubt it will be overrun. Wakami Lake Provincial Park, about 90 minutes southeast of Chapleau, Ontario (2 hrs from Wawa, 4.5 …
A solar-powered Teardrop trailer means self-sufficiency. The solar panels generate energy from the sun, which can be stored in batteries for use when the sun is dim or gone for the day. A charge controller regulates the flow of power from panels to batteries in order to safely and efficiently charge them. As with the …
