Here's another teardrop that's come from the pages of my book. I'm pleased and I think this guy is too.

Thanks for your input, Tony!
I'm outside most of the time, including cooking. The camper is mostly to settle in the night & sleep. It's very comfortable, esp. for a tall dude like myself.
I'm on the fence about a tear drop because since I'm camping full-time there will be bad weather days where I may get cabin fever being stuck inside a tear drop. Or very cold days where I can stoke my wood burning stove in my Scamp and stay toasty and upright.
Then again it's pretty easy to move to where the weather is better as I always say!
I'm thinking I should rent a tear drop for a bit and get a feel for it and see if it suits me.
I've been able to take the Scamp to quite a few places folks were surprised to see it. They ask how I got it there and I say very carefully
. With bigger wheels, beefier suspension and a lift it will go to even more places. The only concerns I have is due to its height it has a higher center of gravity and its weight. Then again it's lighter than quite a few tear drops out there!
See what I mean? LOL
Either way I look forward to more fun camping in out of the way places.
Take care,
Ray

I get it.
But if you build a teardrop, install a Propex propane stove. They're the perfect heater for 'drops.

What makes me happy is seeing a builder bring a new one from the pages of my book. It's pretty cool. This gal belongs to a fella named Roger H.

Nothing quite like finding a campsite with a view at 8,800'. I think I'll have to return on the 4th of July next summer.

The last hoo-raw of the camp season. Somewhere on the east side of the edge of nowhere, Idaho.
