Gidget Retro Teardrop Camper 2015

We're proud to show off our new Gidget Bondi model... inside and out, highlighting many of our unique features that we know will allow you to enjoy 'glamping' in style. Gidget is proudly Australian made, owned and designed.
For a full specifications and price list go to our website www.thegidget.com.au
Video highlighting features of the Gidget Bondi camper including the conversion of the Queen-size bed to the lounge, showing generous underfloor storage, spare wheel in its own compartment, lots of cabin storage, shelving and overhead cupboards, the rotating entertainment console and pull out table. The cabin features our beautiful Australian timber work, this same timber is used in our pride and joy….our Gidget kitchen, featuring beautiful curved timber faces, Esky/Fridge drawer, pantry and utility drawers, and the new toughened glass double burner cooktop with its own storage underneath. Note the generous storage available on the shelves above, pressurised water in a toughened glass-lidded sink and access again to the rotating entertainment console. You can also see the beautiful moulded tail light section with large LED lights.

Probably one of the best designs I've seen so far. Love the lounge option for rainy days or to get out of the mosquitos here in Arkansas, USA. The wood trim is very nice and I like the storage usage. Well done!

[@pudge9837]

That is the coolest teardrop trailer I have EVER seen. So light you can pull with ease. The extra room pull out feature blew me away. Part of bed into a couch. Nifty feature where you rotate the t.v in and out. Extra storage space. ROOM to put in a heater and a small A.C unit in one of the cabinets. The person that designed that was a thinker. AWESOME.

[@GidgetRetroCamper]

Thank you so much, Pudge!

[@johnkennedyk522]

I think you are on to something here. more an more people are beginning to see that they don't need all that unused space. there is a rise in the nomad style of living. An you're trailer is the nicest small trailer I've ever seen. keep up the good work .

[@donhumphreys7550]

Innovative design which overcomes many of the limitations of other teardrop designs. Good job. Pricing is reasonable too.

[@jijipoid]

This is just simply neat.. My family have always been ones to camp semi traditionally.. but for an extended road trip for business or pleasure really.. where the focus is more on the trip than the camping experience.. these seem quite nice.. it is quite impressive the way it is designed and how there are little things hidden to make the space more manageable.. also seems quite nice if something where to happen where you would have to rely on family for a few days.. this is a nice "add your own room." option so your not too imposing on their regular routines..

[@kimhorton6109]

Brilliant. Someone put a LOT of thought into your build there. Well done. Best teardrop config I've seen.

[@harrymills2770]

Overkill, in Oregon, make a slide-out teardrop, as well. But it's a lot bigger and bulkier.

[@roger5384]

@@harrymills2770 Thats a Yank for yah, bigger than any other in the world

[@frankleon-guerrero6857]

By far the very best of Tear Drop trailers!

[@00mondeoman]

I just stumbled across this video and I've got to say that I was floored when the trailer pulled out - I didn't expect that at all . What a great idea !! You get the retro look , and a bit more room as well . You don't see that here in the US (at least I've never seen it) .

[@mijodo2008]

Best Micro Camper ever. Sweet, tidy & neat.

[@MrGchiasson]

It's a work of art! Even if it had a 'cut-down' version without a kitchen..for short trips...it offers a nice level of comfort and convenience. nicely done.

[@stevepaul8347]

I'm amazed at some of the comments re. amenities. This is a 2 person camper-trailer, folks. It is not supposed to be a 5-star urban hotel. Some of the expectations are not realistic. It is easy to pack a small shelter in your car/truck.

[@hog_riding_fat_cat]

never mind the camper, i'm interested in the lovely model !!!

[@kerryjgee]

that front slides out so beautifully!, great design,

[@genegarris]

The slide out is masterful!

[@jeffhenderson1735]

It's a fantastic camper. It's a fantastic demonstration. It's compact, clever and ridiculously overpriced.

[@abuventertainment2856]

These go for around $15,000... A fully equipped RV will run you $100,000 plus, easily. They are not overpriced, using this as a living space is relatively cheap (one-time payment) and sustainable (solar panels, light chassis for eco-friendly mobile living). Lugging this thing along is the best idea I've planned to follow through on in my future, just driving on out into nature and living a simplistic, beautiful life.

[@OsakaOutlaw]

+Abuv Entertainment I don't know who you buy your RVs from, but they are as expensive if not cheaper than this. Now if your talking a huge one with a second story I might understand.

[@abuventertainment2856]

+IntrepidDiversion I don't own one, but parents of my friends do, and so does my uncle. A RV trailer as fully equipped as this one, made in the last couple years, can easily run you upwards of $100k. You can buy retro models, which are nowhere near as efficient of a load to carry, for $60-80k, depending on condition, and size, pleasantries etc. Not a double decker or anything overboard... Just a normal ass RV. Say 20 feet long and 8 feet high.

[@OsakaOutlaw]

Abuv Entertainment Oh alright, it was nice talking to you!

[@TheOompahRoundabout]

+Abuv Entertainment try 28.000 to 30+ thousand! Ridiculous!

[@graceminton16]

What an awesome design. Perfect for post-zombie apocalypse in style, and camping holidays. Am popping it on the wish list.

[@staceydavis2061]

you'll be happy

[@black_jackledemon6298]

That's *REALLY* nice! Well, thought out and I like the retro styling with classic wheels and two tone paint. Lighter colored wood looks great. Reminds me of nice older model boats and I think the slideout is brilliant. 😊👍

[@almeggs3247]

Tremendously ingenious You've thought of everything Thanks! More viable than my whole house

[@2ManyInstructions]

rotating TV is very cool.... great idea

[@danieltranchida4009]

Very nice especially like views from inside. Thanks so much!!

Very clever and beautiful design.

[@GidgetRetroCamper]

Thank you, Antonio!

[@tomglatts3753]

The patent is available on Google Patent. I’m using it to build my own teardrop. It is a quite unique design.

[@CameoOG]

Terrific little camper for pulling behind a car. wow

[@keithlacey2007]

Little too small for me, but props on whomever designed it. A lot of thought went into this and it has just about everything. Well done.

[@lancebaker1374]

I STRONGLY suggest that you avoid any video with the word "TEARDROP" in the title. Teardrop ALWAYS means tiny. You will need to buy a huge RV to satisfy your "house on the road" needs.

[@westwindsailer]

love the rotating tv !! very well thought out all around!

[@BDoguet]

I think the model is the selling point!

[@SashNone]

it's a best teardrop camper i ever saw! It's sad that i can not afford it. But i wish to say, that you doing a great job!

[@GidgetRetroCamper]

Thank you so much! We truly appreciate your compliments. Cheers! -kj

[@Cre8Thought41]

Absolutely fantastic!!!!

[@zzyzxzee6374]

Nice,I especially like the lazy Susan TV.

[@tomcor33]

I am in love with your model!

[@nousername2932]

I'm really thinking about getting a teardrop soon... these things are great.

[@MrMarvac]

What a neat camper!

[@automatedelectronics6062]

I love it! But, you don't step inside, you crawl.

[@lancebaker1374]

Build your own and make it 7 feet high. $5,000 or more.

[@Camperhollow]

Nice little setup.

[@jaimealonzo1528]

That's really nice,other than the band aid on the arm,besides that she is very nice.

[@danielardelean3480]

Absolutly amazing.

[@bowerbirdstyle7661]

Wonderful details - so clevet.

[@god11751]

that is so cool i would travel in that and i did see some if those models with AC

[@mauricebergot7402]

Bonjour très bien fait je suis étonné vraiment magnifique mercis

[@btblou]

Just beautiful, I want one :)

[@ahsenfayrushin4487]

Transformation is a good idea.

[@DB-rd6uy]

I like that front section. And yes she is. ,,😎

[@ragman2323]

Good compact design, but unless in bad weather -- or in Canada. over all, good craftsmanship!

[@GidgetRetroCamper]

Hi ragman2323 - Thank you for your kind comment! As for your concerns about bad weather, there are several videos here on our channel showing our use of a Coleman Gazebo. Gidget fits perfectly under it, it takes only minutes to set up, and you can continue to cook or relax under cover out of the rain or blazing sun. Our Gidget Glampers love it! Cheers -kj

[@mstejaschica]

I love this thing!

[@mhm1133]

Ik in love with this teardrop

[@foxybrown1g]

Loved the trailer! The lounge is ingenious! The ONLY reason I gave you a thumbs down is because the sound was horrible and at the end, when you were showing the inside, we really couldn't see what you were trying to show us because you were not holding the camera. That's the area I was interested in seeing. I do love that little trailer and would buy yours above anyone else's solely based on that sweet lounge!!!

[@God_is_Justice]

I LOVE IT!!!

[@brookexp4710]

I want one of these so bad

[@carabela125]

Nice upgrade from tent camping.

[@Set_your_handle77]

1:33 This is where I started laughing thinking just how Cool that window is.

[@andew8922]

Very nice idea only i wouldn't sit that close to the TV but that was cool when she moved the Gidget by herself like that it's lightweight wouldn't be safe to be in if the wind picked up

[@SinkyYT]

Very well designed camper!

[@Radio4ManLeics]

very nice finish on the polished wood. the hob could do with a wind shield. rear kitchens are fine in hot climes, but not so good in temperate wet weather!

[@GidgetRetroCamper]

Hi Cardinal - Our customers use a Coleman Event Gazebo for protection from rain or hot sun. Fits perfectly, compact storage, and very easy and quick to set up and take down. There are several videos showcasing this on our channel. Cheers! -kj

[@spicey6646]

Lovely.

[@bestmixesonline7744]

wow,, amazing idea.

[@1timby]

You needed to show the Solar aspects of the camper. Also, what needs to be done when converting it back to travel mode. Just my 2 cents..LOL

[@kerryswan4158]

Love this

[@moobyworldmine]

Love the seat and the slide out tray for a laptop, etc! Just wonder if anyone has reported issues with bugs getting in through the swivel TV?

[@goddess7240]

THIS IS GREAT!!

[@higgsbosongirl]

Wish you had a U.S. distributor. These are fabulous.

[@GidgetRetroCamper]

Hello - we do not have distributors in the US although you can order direct from our Australian HQ and we help coordinate shipping. Cheers!

[@stanleydenning]

Sweet !

[@stevenzak199]

I kept waiting for a tour of the bathroom.

[@stevenzak199]

***** That seems to be about the size of it, Ted.

[@scotts.2624]

Steven Zak To save time in the future if the word teardrop is in the title dont wait around for the bathroom. If you dont want to walk out side to do your business then its sawdust and lime in a bucket in a teardrop.

[@gladu2]

Steven Zak We used a porta potty when we had a Jayco popup slide in camper but even with that you need a place to store it which the Jayco had.

[@GidgetRetroCamper]

Hey all! The Bondi model doesn't have toilet/ shower compartment but the Noosa does. Videos will be released soon! Cheers! -kj

[@benjoseph8387]

Its BYOB Bring your own bathroom... ...shit bucket, sponge, bowl, and towel...

[@nickdamato366]

It's gorgeous; however, do they make something that's more focused on light weight and function than luxury? I'm looking for light, space-age materials that are easy to maintain.

[@GidgetRetroCamper]

Hi Nick, check out our specs and you'll find our campers are built of lightweight materials-similar to those used in yachts-lightweight waterproof ply in the walls and structural walls in the cabinetry and a composite plastic for other cabinetry which can't warp or bend or be affected by moisture. No MDf and no particle board anywhere near our Gidgets. We also have a Bells Compact which is designed to be towed behind very small vehicles...all info is available via [e-mail] or our websites www.thegidget.com.au or www.gidgetusa.com Cheers Chris

[@robertbrunston5406]

Very nice thanks.

[@ydelissepitremanzanillo4387]

OMG, love it

[@lancebaker1374]

It took me a few seconds to understand "Esky", thought you said "isky", but that's the down-under accent. Never heard Esky before now. In the U.S., the popular brand is Igloo or Coleman.

[@daniellongsworth4484]

I want this!

[@thewinteryears1973]

It’s a shame this company went out of business..what a unique teardrop

[@housesoccer]

I didn't have much interest in the camper. i just noticed her pic in the preview on you tube and decided to check out the video. She really is good looking.

[@Woski27]

Company is now in liquidations after being found guilty of fraud and was ordered to pay $1M in compensation to customers of which most received full refunds except one. What a shame, such a good product just unrealistic expectations within the company setup. This video should be taken down, got me all excited until I investigated further.

[@usmade1776]

Not sure what happened per your comment. But this is looks like an amazing product and they should start over again soon no matter what. USA

[@haroldketzenbarger3064]

This would work great for me.

[@Raykenn1]

Great advice - Thanks

[@Speedinginprogress]

Brilliant!

[@ronaldcheatham4833]

Very nice.

[@andrewgmerek1514]

I'm moving to Australia just to get one of these.

[@alessandrocatuogno5147]

exellent beutfull for sardinia island in the middle mediterranean sea...it's my dream

[@ShanLiuGBM]

Well, since the unit has a pull out feature, maybe the reason and benefit of folding that in can be explained a bit.

[@vitalijstoliar4908]

Super! The best!!!!!!!!

[@RagnarBlox]

The one issue I see could be hooking things like tablets or a laptop screen (via HDMI if even available) to the TV. It the USB ports are on the side how do you access them? Also is the TV HMDI ready? If so then sharing a laptop/tablet with an internet connection means instant streaming!

[@kkbodyshop]

Thats cool !!

[@TrishTruitt]

Amazing room for such a small space! Interior shots (obviously done inside a working factory) would've been much beter without so much background noise.

[@roger5384]

Yess say around 5.00pm knock off time, hahaha

[@aleksgavri3108]

I love it!

[@marksimmons3801]

im ready lets go camping !

[@FeedScrn]

It's beautiful, but me thinks that it's too big to tow and charge with a motorcycle. Do you have any suggestions as to what motorcycle / teardrop camper combination would work?

[@cw300mag]

She made it look nicer

[@crooksey1988]

You should open up shop in the UK. Everybody and their dog has a caravan. These would sell like hot cakes.

[@GidgetRetroCamper]

Thanks! No shop in the UK but we do ship there!

[@Fordiesel250]

I like this

[@waterwomyn]

Very nice features. But, if the window is propped open, how can the door be propped open? You would need that on a hot day.

[@thecrazymanfromireland]

Very nice

[@phil1love1]

Classy lady👌🏽

[@17025601]

Good on ya! Great ideas!

[@meganrobbins-colwell1333]

Mermaid

[@mpatmack77]

Not bad.It's amazing how much a company can put in something that small.If you need to use the restroom and a shower campgrounds have those facilities.I am sure that there is some climate control in there.Having the solar panels on top means not having to deal with propane tanks.

[@yvon501]

super ! j'adore!

[@marcelbellerive]

Très belle roulotte.

[@rickdancingwolf]

Awesome!!

[@KindCreature1]

Very nice. I like the place to put your feet.

[@geoffreyhorton7470]

amazing

[@RedThebigOne]

Interesting as I saw this exactly/similarly on a San Francisco camping website! I really like the idea but as a regular camper, Australia gets "mega" hot in Summer. Yes parks are closed on such extreme days. But somehow incorporating air conditioning would be a plus. More efficient long life,deep cycle batteries, small wind propellers etc to help in terms of electricity? But then the cost would Increase dramatically? Nor in the spirit of "camping outdoors?" :)

[@GidgetRetroCamper]

Hello! There is a solar panel and Andersen plug so there is plenty of power. There is also space and a plug for a Transcool evaporative air conditioner. -kj

[@roxiann12]

I want one!

[@LuhRhino231]

I want to live in one of those

[@dmcg6074]

What's the benefit of the slide out bit ? Why not just build it that size, drawbar will be more or less the same length?
