Teardrop camping trailer tour; TC Teardrops - Ham Radio Q&A

[@christinemartens922]

He didn’t show it, but the other half of the cabinet in the cabin has a full library of field guides for reference- because his wife is a nerd.

Nerds are the best!

[@applejacks971]

I'd like to try some of those biscuits you were making! Those looked yummy!

[@pathopkins4500]

I built the tiny trailer myself ..... really like it ..... even after 20 years and 80,000 miles later =) Build your own for many thousands less =) Something you can do during the lock-down periods .... buy materials needed as you can now an build while locked in =) Thanks for sharing Micheal =)

[@jolebole-yt]

Cool trailer. I like this minimalistic design. Less is more. You can pull this trailer with most cars. Thanks for the tour!

[@markihde4381]

Cool little trailer. I like the idea of having the kitchen outside so that grease, smoke and cooking odors don't cling to the curtains, bedding and especially any radio equipment inside the trailer. -- K7SFA

Very nice camping trailer! I'll keep that company in mind when I'm ready to start my camping adventure! Great video!

[@granitebuilt5836]

Always wondered what the interior looked like....now I know. Not bad at all. Thanks for the tour.

[@frankmckinley1254]

I to as a HAM (AK5FM) have a trailer as well. Home build out from a 5X8 cargo trailer. Love your trailer.

[@hershlawfirmpc]

Very nice set up. Thank you for sharing. Happy camping.

[@AllanBProductions]

Thanks for the tour!

[@DK5ONV]

A sweet lil trailer, I already wondered if this was may be a homebrew model done by yourself. Thx for another neat product info & happy sunday evening. 73's de Your Friend Uncle Guenter

[@KB9VBRAntennas]

I considered building one, but by the time I buy the tools and materials, not to mention by time, it would have been cheaper to buy one.

[@DK5ONV]

@@KB9VBRAntennas Times just have changed, Michael. Back in the Days it was the other way around. 😎

[@walteredwards544]

Thank you.ooks quite cozy and comfortable.

Very nice review. Thanks for sharing your trailer with us. Looks like a lot of fun. Take care, 73. Al N9UO

[@chucksw1]

Thanks for the trailer tour! Do you store it outside or inside a garage in winter?

[@KB9VBRAntennas]

From about mid April to early November it sits in our driveway, but for the Winter it goes into the garage.

[@Trendlespin]

Thank you for the tour ( : Do they come with the rods that the curtains and the blanket in the back are hung on?

[@KB9VBRAntennas]

The curtain rods were an option, I'm not sure if they are now standard or not. The curtains themselves were custom sewn by a seamstress friend of ours.

[@Andrew-315zz]

Do you two still have the camper. If so would you buy it again all things being equal?

[@KB9VBRAntennas]

I do still have the camper and we continue to use it on a regular basis. The trailer is now 6 years old and it is holding up strong. I am greatly impressed with the construction quality and durability of it. This year we are on track to spend 40 nights in it this season. If I were to buy another one, I would still stay with the same brand, but would get their 9 foot model. This gives you an extra 6 inches in the cabin and the galley. that little extra bit of space would be welcome.

[@Andrew-315zz]

@@KB9VBRAntennas Thank you for your reply!

[@kencarnley7101]

Have wondered what the inside looks like. Thanks

[@pnowikow]

How does the stuff on the top shelf not fall down when you're traveling or anything in the Kelly not fall down? Does the angle of the hatch keep everything secure?

[@KB9VBRAntennas]

The hatch does a pretty good job at keeping things on the shelf in place when it is closed. But if we go down a bumpy road things will get jostled around; they generally stay on the shelf, though. I've seen some people install a bungee on that shelf to keep things in place.

[@Davidjb37721]

Nice

[@milwman1958]

Whats the MPG pulling that? KF0HRF SCOTT

[@KB9VBRAntennas]

Without the trailer, my Outback gets about 28-30 on the highway. Adding the trailer the mpg drops down to about 19-21.

[@WN8HGZ]

very well done thanks de wb8idy

[@northwesttravels7234]

Any issues with condensation?

[@KB9VBRAntennas]

All teardrop trailers will experience condensation when the outdoor temperature drops below 40 degrees. If we keep a window partially open and a little fan to circulate the air running, then it isn't very bad.

[@jolebole-yt]

The company that makes the trailers offers window mounted fans as an option.

[@conifergreen2]

How did you run the transceiver cable into the trailer?

[@KB9VBRAntennas]

If I operate inside the cabin I just keep the door cracked and run the cable through that.

[@PatrickDickey52761]

@@KB9VBRAntennas I'd imagine someone could have them put passthrough in the side, if you wanted though. That's probably the route I would take.
