I love the exterior more than any other teardrop trailer. The color is stunning. Vintage and classy. Stunning teardrop trailer. These are my Top 5 teardrops. How could I decide? 1) Vistabule 2) Black Bean 3) CampInn 4) High Camp 5) Escapod Topo 2. Geeze. They're all so different. All are excellent. Each has positives and negatives.

Features and Price. I don't want a TV or a toilet etc, but I like nice touches, so I want a Vistabule. I like the Mood LIghting. If I wanted to spend twice the price, I might get the Escapod Topo. Lots of nice features, but not worth an extra $20k to me. Both of these are the least complicated and value packed without gimmicks.

The bed is a little smaller than I had heard in other videos. Usually, it's said to be a full queen size, which is 60"x80" . That bed is just over 6 feet. (73") At 6'3", it would be too short for me, unfortunately. Nicely designed teardrop, though.

"the world has endured......." and then "George Floyd riots". OK, you don't see the problem? If anything displays the American-centric view of the world it was that ill-thought-through opening statement. How much impact do you think George Floyd riots had in, say China or India or New Zealand or Germany, let alone in Nigeria or Brazil or Botswana?
@SteveMacDidThis2 жыл бұрын
You are correct in that I didn't spend much time thinking about that opening statement. That's because I'm not a political channel. My videos are entertaining. They are informing...on the subject of teardrops, hiking, and the outdoors. I merely thought that it was insensitive to not at least mention what was going on in the world. At the same time, I wanted to put out a video DESPITE what was going on in the world. We needed it. Do I have an American-centric view of the world? Yes. Because I am an American. Even still, the George Floyd riots had an impact worldwide. There were riots in over 60 countries on all 7 continents. Was it every country or region? Of course not. But the world took notice and stood in solidarity with America, standing against police brutality and racism.

@@SteveMacDidThis Thanks for that explanation. I would just point out that protests outside the USA were just that: protests. They weren't riots.

OK, I’ll tell you what it is. To get this 50’s teardrop to the present, the path led through the 70’s, and that’s where most designs got stuck. If you didn’t go through the 70’s yourself, I’ll tell you something about them. It was an era when anything was possible, when all sense of taste and proportion could be jettisoned, when the most gimcrack slogans would form the basis of design, when any two things you nailed together would be heralded as innovative design. That’s why most teardrop trailers have a MonstRWreX mil-GRip XN ultRoN 9000 dumBAss MoonUnit design aesthetic, with diamond embossed floorplates, jerrycan and spare tire festooned walls for ultimate ugliness; the kind of trailer that someone could go and hunt for Osama Bin Laden in. When I look at a Vistabule, there isn’t a drop of Hummer aesthetic in them. It’s more of a Chris-Craft idea. The design was obviously thought up by someone who has taken a long time thinking about design, the relation of design to function and aesthetic, and design that brings its parts together holistically. In other words it’s a human-oriented design that works. The fit and finish is essential to deliver on the promise the thoughtful design makes. That’s what I like about the Vistabule.

@SteveMacDidThis3 жыл бұрын
During the pandemic the value went up, as did the wait time for a new one. We sold it for substantially more than we paid for it three years earlier. I explained some other reasons in the video. The price was obviously right based on how fast it sold. There are a lot of more expensive teardrops out there, less expensive too. A “bed in wheels”? Did you miss the part about the galley? All of the storage areas? The water system? The electrical system? It’s a complete camping solution for us, and for the quality and craftsmanship in the Vistabule, I think it’s great way to go. If you’re happy in a tent on the ground, then that’s the way for you to go. We all put value in different things for different reasons.
