    I have a 1985 Fleetwood bounder yes the one from breaking bad I’ve turned it into a food truck and living quarters. I travel all over the place with this including Canada and Mexico. I make money with it and I also live in. It’s the best idea I ever had. Thank you Vince Gilligan.

    Nice! I’ve had a 171 since 22 just completing our 3rd season on lake Lanier Ga. I keep a gallon of gas in reserve in the boat just in case. Great boat but will upgrade next season. Need more room. Great video!

    Is there a camper company that makes a universal unit? Meaning camping, and the option of removing the camper unit and be used as a utility trailer to haul other stuff. Utility trailer kayak trailer lawn clippings debris etc. ??? just to have a trailer that could be used year round?

    I just picked up a Hiker camper. For my needs it’s perfect, lightweight w/ solar. I live in Washington but drove over to Utah to buy it. Now I’m going over the many options I want to install. Have you tried Skull Hollow CG near Terrebonne ( Or.) ? Really enjoyed my stay there. Happy travels !

    I have run the camping life full circle. Started in tents as a child and through the years progressed to large towable RVs. My last shelter was a Kodiak Canvas truck tent. I should have my InTech Flyer Pursue within a few days, Lord willing. I do plan on several extended cross country trips and will definitely share my experiences. Thanks for all yuor videos and the advice that you have.

    We recently downsized from a a 25’ Class C to a teardrop (and tent for the kids) and love the switch. We feel we are more connected with nature with the teardrop. ❤ 🌲

    You seem to be taking alot of electrical things with you. A lot of things that you,re taking I would leave behind. On the other hand it,s all down to personal choice, over the yrs I,ve managed to whittle down quite a lot of things I consider surplus + un-needed. Roy,Haarlem, Holland.

    Besides a shower tent, I have a Clam 6x6 shelter, I can put up, but easy as it is, it's a nuisance for short stays, especially if you have to put it away wet. I had an ARB awning, but that does not give any privacy. I sold it. Some places wont allow tents at all, but i avoid those. Even my shower tent with floor is a bummer sometimes. I'm in Oregon, and my last trip was at the coast. Sand in everything! My attached shower tent will be helpful on one side. I have a Kelty Backroads that is good, but it can be a problem under certain circumstances. I can use it at the side of trailer or over the galley.

    Teddy es un bebote jjajaj. Será un gran compañero de acampadas, nosotros también adoptamos una pequeña cachorra de menos de dos semanas de vida que habían tirado al agua para que se ahogue. No sabía ni tomar agua, la recibimos y fue creciendo con acampadas, caminatas, navegaciones, hoy tiene mas de 30 kg es una hermosa ovejero belga tervueren llamada Rona, presencia firme e intimidadora para animales y oportunistas en noches de acampada en isla, campo y otras.

    You are correct the Teardrop experience is invaluable however the cost per night is frightening especially if you calculate the total cost per night that you actually slept in the Teardrop over your period of ownership to date. Total cost per night must include: sales tax on the initial purchase (here in WA it is 10% =$1300) , depreciation, total ownership cost per mile of the tow vehicle: ($0.72 per mile per the AAA),license fees, monthly storage fees, repairs, replacements, and upgrades ( and the value of your time dealing with those issues)Example: a Propex heater is at least $1,000, 12v Fridge $750, 100AH lithium power station $700. These are all costs in addition to those you discussed in this video. When you add additional recreation vehicles (such as a new boat) you further dilute the available time to spend using the teardrop increasing the the total cost per night.

I tested one a little smaller in a recent video and I loved it! We had cold weather and Rain but we're comfortable. (40 Deg F.)

    I have a vistabule trailer camper. It has the windows for the views. I've been on a 5 month trip from the east coast to the western mountains. I was in no hurry to get home. And am planning another long trip out west next year. Plus I have done several 1 to 3 month trips in my vistabule.

    I kind of went on the opposite side of this.I ended up buying a van and Converted it I have more room than a teardrop camper Plus I can pretty much camp anywhere I want . And if I can't I can always stealth camp!

  • @brianrollins3245
    @brianrollins3245 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    another possible reason is access to the camper if you have reduced flexibility

    I know how you feel about your teardrop. They're really easy to tow and park, better towing fuel mileage, etc... but I'm going to suggest that IF/when you might move "up" you try a 6' X 12' cargo trailer and convert it. The rear ramp door can serve as a deck, you may still have the galley in the back and if you leave the ramp down and use drapes/1/4" ply half wall/whatever you may have that great view of the lake from your bunk! and have standing room to get dressed, a spot for a small lo0... and you could call it a squaredrop. Heehaw. Safe travels to you! Thanks for your vid.

  • @mikecrawford7352
    @mikecrawford7352 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    After having both a teardrop and tent trailer. Tent trailers heat up a lot more. The key to a teardrop is to close it up early when its still cool try not to get in it if don’t have to. Ventilation is a must in the heat at night.

    Could you use a folding screen in front of your door for changing your clothes? Then move the screen to the side to use a porta potty? I've never seen a folding screen used for camping but it seems like it would be useful, for showering too.

  • @mikecrawford7352
    @mikecrawford7352 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great video like always. We had a White Water Retro JR. we had under cabinet access from a small hatch below the cabinet door. We kept a few things I there however it was primarily for the 13 gallon water tank and pump. Our sink had a stove combo really to small for either but it worked still cooked on the colmen stove anyway. We had an insulted cabin and with 2 people with in 15 to 20 it was definitely warm even in below freezing temps no heater was required I still cracked my window at night. We had white and blue aluminum siding it always got dirty. Just wish I got the suspension lift I dragged the hitch a lot and a roof vent.

    Fantastic video! Thank you for taking the time. I'm gonna buy the 6x12 with an empty cabin. I'm gonna DIY that. But I want a least a 74L Dometic Cooler. What do you recommend? In the Galley or the tongue storage, back of tow vehicle? You both rock. Appreciate you.

    Awesome video. I just talked with Bend Teardrops today. I'm planning on a 6x12, but I want to DIY the interior. Plan on a drop drown TV, cabinets, a fold out couch with removal table and one of those sealed dometic toilets for the really rainy days. I so want the windows you have over the portholes. Have it mostly designed in CAD. I grew up all around the West during summers in a Winnebago. Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa I have ideas. Dave at Bend was so accommodating and helpful about subtle little things I want. Thanks for your videos. You are motivating me. Can't wait to see more of your adventures.
