The dollar store can be a great source of useful (and cheap!) gear, especially for teardrop trailer kitchens. Here's a multi-functional strainer that takes up virtually no space and set me back all of $2. There's been a few occasions I've thought it would be nice to have a colander... like to rinse fresh fruits …
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 …
I thought it would be interesting to look back at a year's worth of usage statistics since I launched first week of March last year to see which Teardrop camper topics were most popular. Not that this little blog is necessarily broadly representative of Teardrop trailer owners (and wannabe Teardrop owners) but there was a …
In the weeks leading up to launching this site a year ago, I was writing posts on a variety of topics so it would have some content to start out with. One of those early blogs was about Boondocking and why it didn’t much appeal to me. I had an abrupt reversal of opinion this …
I am excited to offer this “guest” blog post by a Teardropper I crossed paths with at a campground in 2022. We have the same “Silver Bullet” model in the narrow (4’ width) version, but we've each outfitted ours differently... you can imagine it was easy to strike up a conversation, and I’m glad we …
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 …
