What is a Teardrop Trailer? The small, convenient trailer for camping enthusiasts- slightly more substantial than a tent, slightly less than a caravan. They are lightweight and streamlined, and often made by their owners to suit their exact needs. Plans can be bought or found for free on the internet on sites such as wikibooks.
Teardrop Trailers usually sleep 2, and have rudimentary cooking facilities. They can be powered by battery or even have mains hookups. Toilets have been dispensed with in favour of small size and weight- however, this makes it no less equipped than a tent- in fact, it is better equipped and requires no assembly!

Teardrop Trailers have accrued quite the following, and there are forums and communities dedicated to trailer users and builders- such as www.tearjerkers.net.

I have been General Manager of Motorhome Republic, the operators of this website, for 4 years and with the company for 6 years starting as a Sales / Account Manager. Previous roles have included account manager and software architect for a web design firm, advertising sales across multiple media and television production. I’ve been lucky enough to go Motorhoming several times in Canada, USA and New Zealand so far and grew up going on caravanning holidays with Mum and Dad. The value and freedom Motorhoming offers are its two main drawcards for me. That and the envy on the other campers’ faces when you pull into a State Park campground with no hook ups in a 31’ Class C with double slide outs, on board generator, side awning, exterior entertainment unit and smoker unit for a 10kg salmon caught earlier that day.
I have been in the Motorhome industry for the best part of 6 years and with Motorhomes Republic for the last 18 months. I previously worked for the largest Motorhome rental company in the world as the New Zealand Sales Account Manager. I’ve traveled the length and width of New Zealand in many different categories of Motorhomes, in fact I don’t think there is a main state highway I haven’t driven. The love I have for Motorhomes is one of freedom and flexibility, doing what I want when I want. If I have a hankering for a cup of coffee in a beautiful scenic spot simply stop boil and enjoy….
