Top 10 Best Teardrop Camper Trailers

[@OregonTrailR]

Thank you Van Clan for including us, we are honored! Just so people get the right info, most of the video clips are from our smallest teardrop, DoDrop Alpha. TerraDrop is significantly bigger and can easily support 4+ person families with the addition of a rooftop tent. Thanks again Van Clan!

[@WarDamnOhio]

Do Drop is still badass too!

[@OregonTrailR]

Christopher Vogt, thanks man! DoDrop Alpha, given it’s smaller stature is actually our most capable off-road camper, but TerraDrop can go almost anywhere, and is definitely the more family friendly version...

[@topics1463]

His voice is soothing ! Also if anyone is reading this you are important don't give up.

[@VanClan]

Thank you :) Glad you liked it.

[@macbeckett259]

This was a very good and informative video. I do believe some of the comments are correct. Tear Drop enthusiast are typically true minimalist. When getting above $15,000 it defeats the purpose of the minimalist lifestyle. However, the ideas and designs are things Tear Drop purists can copy and redesign and use for their own less expensive trailers.

[@WalterL1988]

I noticed that the Vestibule Teardrop trailers didn't make the list? I think they are one of the best and most innovative designs! Regardless, great video and thanks for all you do!! I just found your channel and subscribed!!

[@stephendickinson4647]

I bought a Runaway in 2019..you finish it off like you want..low weight and my price with options under $3800

[@wotpods7241]

Nice teardrop campers and looks very comfortable and luxurious, all faculties are there, thanks for sharing it

[@rickstokes2239]

The ‘teardrop’ market might be growing but these new ‘ideas’ aren’t getting WHY the teardrop market is growing - which is mainly people don’t want to spend the money the traditional campers cost or have the vehicles required to pull them. Get Your Prices Down.

[@joewoodchuck3824]

The current teardrop prices are too close to bigger trailers. Why only sit and recline when you can stand as well in a slightly larger unit?

[@rickstokes2239]

joe woodchuck Exactly. The Teardrops are popular because people can tow them with smaller vehicles but the manufacturers are taking advantage of that and marking up the pricing. But what they’re not getting is that since the prices are so high people are just going to trade in for a bigger vehicle and get the new, larger and lighter full sized ones anyway or buy a low end model or not buy one at all, and then in the end the nice Teardrop market will fault because of greed.

[@joewoodchuck3824]

There is one exception though. There's a sort of shell teardrop which is quite affordable. You can either accesorize it with your own stuff whatever way you want to, or let them build up a package with their offerings a la carte. Damn I can't remember the name. If you search for teardrops it may come up. I'll post here if I track it down.

[@rickstokes2239]

joe woodchuck Yeach, there are some out there. There are also non-teardrop but smaller traditionally style campers but lightweight, with a wet bath, kitchen and queen bed/diner for 20G and under.

[@largol33t1]

EXACTLY. Going over $30,000 for a teardrop is a bit excessive and ridiculous. $50,000? That's dumb. Just get a bigger trailer and it'll still be a few thousand bucks cheaper!

[@bleucitron2]

Hi Van ! Great video summary of the best teardrops, thanks for posting ! Obviously you could not mention all brands, but you missed out on two great models that should be on your "top 10" list : The Turkish "caretta 1500" and the Danish Hero Campers ( Traveler model ) ! Best, Mike

[@thepiperofsimms9974]

These are just what I was looking for. A "just in case" place to rest, sleep, and eat for a night. That Cybertear will be bought out quickly. Now where is the closest Motel 6 ? Excellent video VAN. Thank you. Yuma, Arizona USA

[@theflyingdutchman787]

Great review. I like the humor. Thanks!

[@VanClan]

Much appreciated!

[@JaesadaSrisuk]

Whoa, I just discovered that you, Retro Dodo, has a channel about campers and vans! It’s cool when disparate hobbies and interests meet lol.

[@happykt]

I am shocked he didn't include Vestabule Tear Drop trailers out of Minnesota.

[@charlesdevito4165]

Totally agree!

I'm waiting for the best economy, and best-bang-for-the-buck lists.

You can easily build yourself one for a few thousand. Tons of videos out on how to build all types of different ones.

[@ДамирИсабеков-д1у]

Polydrop + cybertruck= 👍

[@ralwoe]

Adding all those extras to these tiny trailers substantially increases it's weight. Sort of defeats the purpose of towing a "light" trailer.

[@brucecggallagher1949]

the Vestibule is much more sensible, refined and elegant

[@ntsurf]

So-Cal Teardrops have been building teardrop trailers for 16 years. The build quality is top notch and the customer service is second to none. Check them out!!!

[@jeremymock9686]

Some of these are built to last a lifetime because that's how long it will take you to pay them off.

[@bigshirley3141]

Man I love teardrop campers, great video mate 👌🏾

[@jonbendewald2955]

Bean Trailer should be in Top Ten without a doubt.

[@VanClan]

Ill look into it

[@Thomas_Geist]

I just went to the Earth Traveler site. The one you apparently show here is listed for $30K which is the T250LX (emphasis on “LX”). They do make 2 models. The one for $10K is the T300 Standard and as the name implies...is rather standard, but I’m sure still very nice.

[@trabun]

its no longer 10k.. its 20k now

[@liornachmias8980]

Retro Dodo for life 👍👍

[@andrewmanness383]

I love how they say "affordable".. There is nothing affordable about these for the working person, who they are apparently aimed at. Every time an idea is brought forth aimed at the common person it's priced out of their reach unless you finance it over the rest of your life. It's really unfortunate.

[@tiltil9442]

“rest of your life“ - here: - shiny SUV - charming pet(s) - fashionably clad children - consumer electronics galore - beef - pork - coffee - chocolate - jet travel - condo - garden (best with gardener) etc.

[@debbiequack]

What about for a retirement home? It doesn’t sound bad if you think of it for that.

[@greysuit17]

It’s not for you if you are complaining about the price. They do make cheap ones out there.

My GOD these are crazy crazy prices. I think I'm going back to start building tear drops. I was building them for Happier Camper the BEAN trails in Salt lake City. Mine will come in at 10k or less? I'm NOT GREADY Like most manufacturers

[@youkie5321]

Thanks for the video, but I need more than an inside sleeping quarters. I can sleep in a big tent with a couple rooms in it and be more comfortable and have privacy! I think these campers are for the MEN who go 4-wheeling & hunting.

[@prebenborg]

I simply cannot figure out where you store your dirty boots in these campers - they will be wet and cold (or stolen) if left outside. And it will make a mess if you place them in the inside bed

[@Ziaflower]

Dude you're hilarious!

I always thought camping was the cheaper option but after seeing these trailers, which I’m thinking now about buying one I now see you can spend $100k on a camper.

[@fastxsam]

10k is reasonable but anything near 50k is ridiculous. Why on earth would you pay 50k to sleep outside? Yes the most basic function of this thing is to serve as a tent. Pretty stupid of that company to price it so high. Yes I know everyone has different incomes but I highly doubt you're paying 50k and going camping if you earn 150k, 200k, 300k....

Terradrop looks good but sleeps 4?! How do you figure? You can probably stack 4 bodies in there but i hardly think a nights sleep would be what would happen. Come on. You shouldn't be afraid to say it only sleeps 2. Teardrops aren't family friendly for families of 4 and thats ok.

[@OregonTrailR]

Hey there Tomas! I very much appreciate Van Clan for including us in this list, but they actually used the wrong video clips for their description of TerraDrop. They were showing you DoDrop Alpha, which is our smallest off-road teardrop, good for two people at best. TerraDrop is quite a bit bigger with a queen size bed and the ability to put nearly any size roof tent. We have one client going on extended expeditions with his wife and 5 kids (4 kids in tent, parents and baby in the sleeping cabin). I easily and comfortably fit my family of 4 in mine, kids are very happy in the RTT above...

[@zeta2078]

Surprise that the Sarfari Condo Alto is not on the list, and it can sleep 4 with an optional bunk bed configuration. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHPVeHSLepZgqbs
