Posts about making it all work, comfort & convenience, travelling in a tiny trailer:
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 …

There are loads of suggestions to be found among these blog posts and this one in particular… about shelf-stable nutritious food that requires no refrigeration… you’re either going to think is brilliant or that I’ve gone off my rocker and …

Being retired, I have flexibility for when I go Teardropping. In past years, I didn’t do much in July & August, preferring the shoulder seasons instead, but this summer decided to get out and attend a camp-in music festival. Here are my learning take-aways and advice for Teardrop camping at festivals. For this first foray …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Unless you’re singularly focused on a final destination, a Teardrop trailer road trip will be made up of some combination of what I call on-the-move (OTM) and stay-in-place (SIP) days. An OTM day is one that involves relocating the trailer (i.e., packing up in the morning and pitching camp later that day) while a SIP …
My first Teardrop camper outing, soon after taking delivery of the trailer in late autumn 2021, was exciting to embark on but didn't go particularly well. Rainy conditions for the first half of trip sure didn't help, though I guess did add to the learning value of the whole experience. There were a lot of …
