Teardrop Trailer - Additional Bedroom
You’re living in your tiny dream home and than you find out you have company coming. Now where to put them? You could pitch a tent or rent a motel room, or you could make or buy a Teardrop trailer that will hold your guest just fine for a couple of days plus provide you a getaway tiny RV if you get the urge to go to the mountains or the coast.
Teardrop trailers based upon the designs of the 40’s and 50’s, BIG WOODY CAMPERS are built to provide years of enjoyment and a “look” that will turn heads whether it’s towed behind a classic car or modern vehicle. These sturdy, durable teardrop trailers are lightweight and can be pulled behind any size car. There is no need for electric brakes or extended mirrors. The “cabin” is 4′ x 6′ or longer, and sleeps two people comfortably. A futon mattress fits comfortably, or try a mattress and cover from Knox Foam. The rear “galley” is your “kitchen on wheels” and can be as simple or as elegant as you choose.
There are many Teardrop choices, listed below are a few options:
- Big Woody Campers (retro)
- Little Guy Teardrop Trailers (modern)
- So Cal Teardrops (retro)
- Desert Teardrops (plans)
- Retro Traveler (retro)
- Rollin Oak (retro woody)
- T & B (large modern)
You might also consider Jay Shafer’s Vardo as an option. Although the Vardo does not have a kitchen, it has storage under the bed that would hold your stove and cooler.

Teardrop campers are cute. It’s a dryer alternative to pitching a tent in the rain. I’m doubt that you’d need a big gas guzzling car to tow one too. I’m partial to the retro models.

The Teardop Trailer is beautiful. I’m more into the stationary tiny houses than the mobile ones, but this one is irresistible in its style and simplicity. Thanks for showing it.

I have a teardrop and I love it! It is so comfortable and my little Neon can pull it. A crowd gathers whenever I take it out.

Kent,
When it comes to tiny, DIY camping trailers that double as a spare bedroom for your tiny house, you should check out our Explorer Box, http://www.cttct.com/ExplorerBox.htm. At 400 lbs it’s easy towed by most tiny cars also.
