[SPRING 2023] A Teardrop trailer is essentially a small, enclosed, sealed container which is exposed to the elements most notably the sun. Seeing as, among other things, what that container contains is live humans (and maybe a dog too) thought must be given to ventilation. The Need for Trailer Ventilation There are two main types …
Like most Teardrop trailer owners in Canada and the northern U.S., at this point in the year I am keenly awaiting the weather moving enough into spring that I can hit the road for that first trip of the season. It will probably be a short one just to get back into the flow then …

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.
