The Joy of Disconnection

On March 31, 2023April 1, 2023 By NeilIn Various MusingsLeave a comment

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 …

Teardrop Trailer Buying Advice

On February 28, 2023May 24, 2025 By NeilIn MiscellaneousLeave a comment

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. So, what are some of the considerations I would suggest to prospective owners? Trailer Size A 4-footer (width) is great if you want to go …

Laundry Day

On February 24, 2023February 28, 2023 By NeilIn Personal Care1 Comment

If your Teardrop trailer road trip is much beyond a week or so, you're probably going to need to do some laundry at some point. Perhaps it will be part of one of those road trip rest days I suggested you count on needing to allow time for. If you're at an organized campground, there …

Finding Your Groove on Road Trips

On February 20, 2023February 27, 2023 By NeilIn Logistics & Convenience, Various Musings3 Comments

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 …

Upgrade Your Camp Coffee Experience

On February 18, 2023February 28, 2023 By NeilIn Galley2 Comments

Some of my friends call me as a coffee snob. I think that's just a quicker way to say aficionado or connoisseur, right? 😉 One of the things I love about my little Teardrop camper is that the galley is always ready go, whether for whipping up a quick bite or making a fresh coffee …

Old Woman Bay, Lake Superior

On February 15, 2023January 10, 2024 By NeilIn Trip DispatchesLeave a comment

[Autumn 2022] The day-use area at Old Woman Bay, 25 km south of Wawa, Ontario, must surely be one of the most spectacular roadside rest stops to be found. I'm not outing a hidden gem, this place is well-known. On a fair weather day it will be busy, but there's lots of space for everyone. …

Electrical System Essentials: Inverter

On February 13, 2023February 25, 2023 By NeilIn Electrical1 Comment

Without an inverter in your solar-powered Teardrop trailer, you can only operate things which use 12 volts DC from your battery. An inverter steps up the voltage to 120 and changes it from DC to AC so that you have “house current” in your trailer and can plug in some similar types of things you …

Roadside Attraction: At a Watershed

On February 8, 2023February 25, 2023 By NeilIn Trip DispatchesLeave a comment

[Autumn 2022] On the second half of a road trip around northern Ontario (not way north, like "up there", but along the east and northeast coast of Lake Superior, then back down to Wawa and inland from there), along Hwy 129 less than an hour south of Chapleau, I came across an interesting roadside attraction …

Teardropping with Your Dog

On February 2, 2023February 26, 2023 By NeilIn Cabin (Sleeper), Logistics & ConvenienceLeave a comment

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 …
