Tear Drop Plus

Our happy trails intercepted at Lost Dutchman State Park where I had a pleasant visit with the Arizona Tearjerkers. Scott's was the first one on site and we talked about the various merits of the super-small RV. They figured out how to pack in most things one might need and set it up for outside living. Doesn't take a lot of pull to put one of these on the road.

 Here's one of the plus trailers. This club is about teardrop trailers but they have several of these other trailers at their outings, being free-spirited about the concept. This one got a new skin job and it's even brighter than this photo suggests.









My camera work on the interior is inferior, but you can see the creative work of the owners. If you know what that shelf holding the lunch boxes was originally for the owner would like to know. It fits lunch boxes really well.

In high school I spent a little time riding in a Ford just about like this with Jay Yost. It was cool then and it's great to see it matched up with that super trailer it hauls.








Another of those 50s Fords, here with a teardrop. One man was selling DYI plans for trailers like this so you could have your own in a season or so. Below is still another variation on Ford that is  a nostalgic view of traveling.

Finally, this is the rig I considered when we first got the RV bug. A convertible puller (this one's top will retract) and a Travel Trailer. I just couldn't imagine traveling with one this small. These people are normal size, happy and camping well, and it was a sunny weekend in Arizona!

So if your car looks small and your budget is strapped, you might consider a teardrop trailer like the lady we met at the bar in Borrego Springs. She can't wait to put one on the back of her little car to head off on a road trip!
