Does the notion of camping in tiny teardrop trailer during the height of hot-humid summer evoke images of meat slow-cooking in a tin crock pot? It didn’t have much appeal to me, but I’d bought tickets to a late-July music festival so strategized how to stay cool... or if not “cool” at least avoid feeling …
Wouldn't it be lovely to get into a warm, cozy Teardrop sleeper cabin on a cool evening? Or even during the day, if weather turns raw and unpleasant. Well, if your electrical system includes an inverter there are space heaters--tiny just like the trailer--that can warm your Teardrop without breaking your battery's watt-hour bank! Maybe …

Small shelf, big convenience. I love figuring out upgrades for my Teardrop camper, both major and minor. And something else I love is morning coffee. Especially in bed, looking out at the landscape of wherever I happen to be. Serene as it all sounds for starting one's day, I never had any convenient place to …
There are two types of electricity available in my solar-powered Teardrop trailer: 12VDC (direct from battery) and 120VAC aka "house current" (via an inverter, which draws from the battery).
