Gidget Retro Teardrop Camper 2015

[@tkcad1]

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!

[@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

[@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..

[@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) .

[@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.

[@frankleon-guerrero6857]

By far the very best of Tear Drop trailers!

[@hog_riding_fat_cat]

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

[@diallover]

that front slides out so beautifully!, great design,

[@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!

[@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. 😊👍

[@genegarris]

The slide out is masterful!

[@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

[@mijodo2008]

Best Micro Camper ever. Sweet, tidy & neat.

[@almeggs3247]

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

[@tomglatts3753]

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

[@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

[@westwindsailer]

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

[@zzyzxzee6374]

Nice,I especially like the lazy Susan TV.

Very clever and beautiful design.

[@GidgetRetroCamper]

Thank you, Antonio!

[@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.

[@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.

[@danieltranchida4009]

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

[@tomcor33]

I am in love with your model!

[@nousername2932]

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

[@CameoOG]

Terrific little camper for pulling behind a car. wow

[@BDoguet]

I think the model is the selling point!

[@Camperhollow]

Nice little setup.

[@bowerbirdstyle7661]

Wonderful details - so clevet.

[@mauricebergot7402]

Bonjour très bien fait je suis étonné vraiment magnifique mercis

[@2ManyInstructions]

rotating TV is very cool.... great idea

[@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!!!

[@jaimealonzo1528]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@btblou]

Just beautiful, I want one :)

[@Set_your_handle77]

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

[@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.

[@god11751]

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

[@SinkyYT]

Very well designed camper!

[@Cre8Thought41]

Absolutely fantastic!!!!

[@MrMarvac]

What a neat camper!

[@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

[@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

[@brookexp4710]

I want one of these so bad

[@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?

[@DB-rd6uy]

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

[@danielardelean3480]

Absolutly amazing.

[@andrewgmerek1514]

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

[@thewinteryears1973]

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

[@carabela125]

Nice upgrade from tent camping.

[@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...

[@mhm1133]

Ik in love with this teardrop

[@marksimmons3801]

im ready lets go camping !

[@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!

[@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.

[@ahsenfayrushin4487]

Transformation is a good idea.

[@KindCreature1]

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

[@alessandrocatuogno5147]

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

[@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.

[@ProntosParaOPerrengue]

Dear, what are the dimensions inside of your trailler (length, height, width)?

[@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?

[@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!

[@ShanLiuGBM]

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

[@daniellongsworth4484]

I want this!

[@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.

[@yvonnehyatt8353]

Can the cooking be done on the inside ? In case it rains or bad weather .

[@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

[@Pinkheartbwell]

Great video minus noise sorry, can one buy this in US?

[@GidgetRetroCamper]

Naomi, we are in the process of opening up a US HQ. Please see our website for more info. Or email [e-mail]. Thank you! Www.thegidget.com.au

[@russellfetterley7290]

Nice little trailer! The perfect size for my small vehicle to tow! But are there any sales agents here in Canada that sell your product?

[@lambrettaladUK]

@3:15 the handle is about 4" higher cupcake

[@karinabambina10]

This is neat. Is there AC? Might sound like a dumb question, maybe you just open a window and get a nice cool breeze in Australia, but that wouldn't work in Canada during our hot humid summer days..

[@joannehocking4121]

Um we have 45 deg c days in summer in Australia & usually not a cool breeze until 9pm if lucky. So yes, air con definitely needed in summer. She did mention room for air con.

[@Set_your_handle77]

1:27 For some reason I thought you reaching for a turntable for the retro effect.

[@cw300mag]

She made it look nicer

[@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

[@thepoetking70]

Will the solar panel run the TV ? What are the price range of the pull out teardrop camper?

[@mstejaschica]

I love this thing!

[@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

[@carlosalbertodominguez5077]

Pregunta este modelo está en Argentina..

[@gmcjetpilot]

Nice, but being in USA, price and exchange rate seem too much. It's a great value but just more than I want to spend on a small trailer. Nice however, thanks for the video. You set the bar high. Nice thoughtful touches. Thanks

[@GidgetRetroCamper]

Hi! Just wanted to be sure you know the prices are in Australian dollar. The Bondi is $12,700US right now due to the strong dollar.... including all the high end finishes and customization. Shipping to LA is about $2600US. Hope this helps snd so happy you appreciate our Gidget:) Cheers! -kj

[@God_is_Justice]

I LOVE IT!!!

[@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.

[@Snoobroglo30]

So you have to do all your cooking outisde? What if it's raining?

[@GidgetRetroCamper]

We use a Coleman Gazebo. Works really well! (there are videos of this on our channel.) Cheers!

[@bestmixesonline7744]

wow,, amazing idea.

[@filipecarvalho7165]

Hello I have a Harley v-rod and I am interested in your product, I just don't know if I can take the trailer on the bike could you clarify this question because I do a lot of traveling with my bike =) Thank you and keep the good working

[@GidgetRetroCamper]

Hi Filipe - sorry for such a late response. We are building a smaller model for bikes. It will be coming out in 2016 so stay tuned! Cheers - kj

[@rocknrocky1234]

can you sit inside the camper while its not folded out?

[@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?

[@kengoodwin7461]

How mutch for the basic model, and how much to ship to NZ please?

[@LuhRhino231]

I want to live in one of those

[@johnpuccetti9383]

What do you do when it is raining?

[@Set_your_handle77]

3:57 Sounds like you even have a slight echo from the size...

[@robertbrunston5406]

Very nice thanks.

[@KitsuneNeko]

Are there any teardrop trailers light enough that a bicycle could pull it? Doesn't need to be as large or have too much in it....

[@GidgetRetroCamper]

Yes! We are coming out with a lighter model, called "Bells", for bikes in 2016. Stay tuned! -kj

[@KitsuneNeko]

+GidgetRetroCamper Now I'm super excited and can't wait! :D /stays tuned

[@danfreeman4500]

GidgetRetroCamper i am very interested in this when you ha e accomplished it! i would like to know the price range and to add an electric bike that is charged through peddling i think this would be the ultimate eco nomad travel!

[@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

[@17025601]

Good on ya! Great ideas!

[@meganrobbins-colwell1333]

Mermaid

[@CORRIGEEN71]

Great design how much does this cost and what is the lead time?

[@GidgetRetroCamper]

HI Corrigeen71, thanks for your nice comment. We have a full specifications and price list downloadable from our website at www.thegidget.com.au. This details all the inclusions which are a very long list, everything you see is pretty much included as well as the ability to customise some key features...and means you don't need to option up before you can take your Gidget on the road. The Bondi is $18,450 and the Noosa is $23,250 [incl GST]. Both models have the slide-out to Queenslize bed and all the features mentioned in the video and many more not mentioned like the water and waste tank, full panel with meters to check your power and water supply levels, Torsion axle and electric brakes to name some of them. You can also donwload our FAQs from the website and compare between the two models. We use the same quality products and finishes in both, the difference is in the length and some extra features this allows us to include. Right now we are booked out with orders well into August. Orders placed now are an approx end of August delivery, however with streamlined production as the year rolls on there's a chance that we may bring this timeline forward as our orders are rolled out. Hope this helps answer your question. cheers Chris

[@alexmolina3682]

GidgetRetroCamper Where do you pee??? Shower???

[@MrDonkrypton]

Alex Molina ...park your car in??? Where to put your family of 85 People??? Where to prepare the buffet for them???

[@Doctortomsvideos]

Alex Molina In america most camp grounds have full flushing toilets and showers

[@BlackPanaRican05]

Alex Molina In the Bondi model, there is no shower or toilet. In the Noosa model, however, they have a pop out one. It's on their website.

[@marcelbellerive]

Très belle roulotte.

[@zachbattack]

Can you ship one to the USA?

[@scotts.2624]

Zachary Blanchard How about buy a trailer made in the USA? Or is that a made in China "American" flag in your profile pick?

[@zachbattack]

Scott S. No that is the huge flag in Las Vegas. And I like what I like. Do you really need to judge?

[@BlackPanaRican05]

Zachary Blanchard Yea im pretty sure they ship to the US. Mainly because on the website they have prices and order forms for US and International

[@Retro_Fan]

From the description, this is made in Australia, not China.

[@gregoryadkins2213]

Scott S. You mean like a Harley Davidson,Assembled not built in the USA,with over 60-percent foreign parts,Same for all USA-automakers,except for the ones assembled in Canada/Mexico.Or a Japanese car built in the USA,but owned by foreign manufacturers.American,built/Assembled,the 50’s,have come and gone.I assume everything you own is 100% American all around.
