It's that time when I look back at the previous year's stats... always interesting to see what piqued peoples' interest... and it's clear that electrical/power systems for teardrop campers are what people want to know about most, followed closely by ventilation. The Top 3 blog posts were: A Very Flexible Teardrop Power System (658 reads) …

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 …
[SUMMER 2024, Ontario] You can likely tell from previous trip dispatches that I really groove on waterfront sites. Well, who wouldn't, right? So much beauty in that magical combo of trees and rocks on a northern lake. I live in an off-grid home surrounded by 50 acres of woodlands and look out at trees everyday... …

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 …
