I'd buy it just because It's so cute! I saw one the other day and I squealed with cuteness.
Thanks Mandy. Its a major adventure and fun toy for me! Thank You for watching. Check my other videos th-cam.com/users/cosmoweemsvideos SUBSCRIBE th-cam.com/users/cosmoweems
Love it! I echo the desire for simplicity, low maintenance, lightweight, and a nice kitchen!

I just love this! I’m not in a position to get one yet so I just watch your videos!
Thanks Miriam. It took me a year to decide to purchase a teardrop. Take your time and you will make the right choice. I hope my videos are more about the experience and the stuff I used to get started and not trailer specific. I just ca,e back from a week of camping and my sanity is restored again thanks to mother nature. 𝕋𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕜 𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕨𝕒𝕥𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘 and contributing to the conversation! =𝓒𝓸𝓼𝓶𝓸 ✅
I love this little teardrop and your adventurous spirit! My husband and I had a 24 foot Lazy Days RV that we used for 10 years and though we had many good memories in it, I hated to upkeep, expense, and lack of versatility. Last year, we converted our 6 x 10 box trailer into a camper and couldn't be happier! It weighs less than 1,200 pounds and it's custom made for our needs which means simplicity with adventure! I say go small in the little things and big with what matters and live a life that makes you happy and not others! Nice video!😊
Thank You. I totally agree. Its mot the years we have to live its all about the life in our years! Thanks for your comment. =Cosmo Check my other videos th-cam.com/users/cosmoweemsvideos SUBSCRIBE www.youtube.com
You're on top of it Mr.Weems. What's not to like about the Vistabule ... such an elegant rig.
Great video, Cosmo, very informative. I'm always glad to see when a new video of yours pops up.
𝕋𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕜 𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕨𝕒𝕥𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘! =𝓒𝓸𝓼𝓶𝓸 ✅
Vistabule might not be the only one out there, but it is the one to beat. The video you shared of the visit to the factory... and the video on how they are built and video with Bert Taylor, the man behind it... outstanding build methodology... their ability to replicate all panels with CNC precision... very impressed... a modern woodwork art form... So yes, many out there, but Vistabule, in my book at least, are the best you can find.
Thank you for sharing the logic behind your decision to go with a teardrop. I laughed when you mentioned bugs and leaving the place, because I remember your Canada video... a must see that I shared with friends.
Thank you for the video. Always looking forward to the next.
I am heading back to that place in Canada next week! I hope its cold enough to keep the bugs away! Will do a fly to a remote lake for tent camping first. Then on to Canada. Thanks for your comments Jaime. =Cosmo
I have a Northern Teardrop trailer built by a husband and wife team in Salmo BC Canada. It's my first year in this traditional trailer plain jane and simple. I'm loving it for Camping.
I agree once we put aside status and marketing pressure - the core of life is simple and the joy is in the simplicity and nature. I simply love the joy of teardrop trailer camping. The rain and bugs are part of that joy.. This is hard for some to understand - however the people I get along with best understand this simple principal. Enjoy! =Regards Cosmo
Luv your videos Cosmo. Please keep ‘em coming. Learned a lot from you: solar, camping accessories, ... life. Soon to be Vistabule owner... Fall season is around the corner. Can’t wait.
so peaceful, love it!

Yup. Love it. Awesome, informative, helpful videos... Classy!
Thank Scotty! =Cosmo
Great video Cosmo I agree with everything you say. The only other option to me is an aliner which is lightweight but gives you more Headroom. You can always add a screened-in room for your living space to get away from Bugs if you need to. Why take your home camping when the point of camping is being outdoors.
Ha ha ha. Yes Outdoors is for outdoors. No TV in my rig! Aliners are great. I looked at then entire line and sat in them many times while deciding. RVs are wonderful. There are so many makes and models we can all get exactly what we need. When its buggy or miserable outside I remind myself this was my choice and I enjoy the adversity as much as the fine times. The only difference between a rut and a grove is our attitude! Check my other videos th-cam.com/users/cosmoweemsvideos SUBSCRIBE th-cam.com/users/cosmoweems

A lot of people living in vans will say "you live out of your van not in it". But I wanted to at least be able to boil water inside my minivan. It's DAMN tight but I will make it work. I like the idea of still being able to kind of cook regardless of rain. And with lids on pots I should be able to do that. Over here JUST in my state we can have a 6X4 trailer with short sides (like a pickup truck style) with no registration at all and not even DMV paperwork. Just make a rubbish copy of your vehicle tags and hook it on. So if I had something like this, I would have some foldout/slideout thing on a 6X4 trailer.
Hi Link, I love all the living arrangements people are coming up with. Its wonderful thinking outside the "box".

A very narrow weather dependent of a usable trailer. A summer trailer.
I NEED a bathroom. Period. Won't be slogging it in the downpour of rain or snow.
Need screens on those doors too. Maybe they come with it? Don't know enough about them. Looks well built though for what it is. Riveted. Yeah I have a riveted trailer. 😎

Than You so much. =Cosmo
It was interesting to listen to your rational discussion for as long as it went. Like many of your videos, I was left wanting more. You are so right about your great collection of videos already made showing your sweet little Vistabule. I have so enjoyed them. I even purchased, on your advice, the Clam, screen room, nice to have here in buggy Killeen, Texas. To me, one of you most interesting points was that you like living “out” of your teardrop. While RV folks live “inside” their RVs. A second point was that, “this is not home.” Right, right, you can zip in and out of places a bigger RV can’t even consider. You can go on adventures to live with nature, not cooped up away, inside the make believe home. I watched your trip around the Great Lake, many camping places unavailable to an RV. Thanks for the discussion. Texas
Thank You for your comments Jeff, I hope to be on the road again soon. Ya I want the adventure and outdoors. I dont want to be looking out at the rain I want to be out in it, hear it and feel it. I want to feel life while it lasts! Regards =Cosmo

Would be difficult to find a less expensive more cost effective leisure activities than camping and the outdoors in general. Check my other videos th-cam.com/users/cosmoweemsvideos SUBSCRIBE th-cam.com/users/cosmoweems
Check out some less expensive models, although you will have to from almost nothing and add what you want/need. I started with a WeeRoll and after using it for 2 years sold it, now I've got my brand-new Tiny Camper Escapade and it's everything I need for the time being.

I really enjoy your videos, love the chat today, this setup of yours is camping, saw your video about going to Montauk Point! I’m from L.I. I enjoyed seeing Hither Hills.
Thanks Betty. I loved the laid back vibe of Montauk. A world apart from New York City which is not far away. Will be going again. Regards =Cosmo
Beautiful teardrop, but 1500 pounds is my towing limit for total weight I can tow. Plus I wanted heat & AC. Went with SunRay 109 1080 pounds & $8000 new. And Cecil, my recumbent trike goes in my Honda Element tow vehicle!
My Vistabule is heavier than the current version. I have a tongue box and more. That is road weight fully packed and with water tank and propane tank full. Current versions have a 150 pound tongue weight. I like trikes and recumbent bikes. I am just loaded up with too many 2 wheel bikes now to fit anything else in the toy chest. Element is a great adventure vehicle. I love all teardrops. My videos are about teardrop camping for the most part. Hopefully not much Vistabule specific stuff (other than to show off now and then).

Great discussion Cosmo as we vascillate between buying one that we can live in . . . or live out of (so very well said man!). Living near the Northern Boreal rain forest (not this year lol) of eastern Manitoba/NW Ontario it's a little harder to convince my wife of the many virtues of tear drop trailers. The conversation continues lol. . .
Show her the Luna or the Luna Lite from Intech, it works out good with my gf! Good luck!
@@papa54321 Interesting! Will do. This has been a labor of love lol.
Thanks for your comment. =Cosmo Check my other videos th-cam.com/users/cosmoweemsvideos SUBSCRIBE www.youtube.com
It really is the best teardrop. But I need to stand inside. Used to have an A-Liner, but I did not like the way it sweated inside from condensate. You are a great resource.

For seniors, FOLDING RECUMBENT TRIKES are fast becoming the rage. Teardrop trailers are great, but they don't allow room for storing them that well.
I guess you could put them in the side during transit or in the back of the SUV.
Check out the Catrike Dumont, the HP Velotechnik Scorpion FS, the Greenspeed Magnum XL, or the AZUB Ti-Fly to start.
A Catrike Dumont could fit in the back of your vehicle easy enough I guess.
Thanks Cecil. That is the solution for a problem I do not have! Regards =Cosmo
@@CosmoWeems When your world is expanded, it hurts a little at first.
Sleep on it.
2 wheels are more efficient than 3 and lighter and take up less space with less complexity. Think about it.
@@CosmoWeems One wheel is more efficient than two, but a lot more dangerous. Think about it.
Seniors who have balance issues, but who would love to keep riding a bike can't. Recumbent trikes keep that riding pleasure open for them. Folding recumbent trikes are an excellent addition to the outdoor camping life. Watch and learn. You're not too old to learn new stuff like this.
I am doing it.
Amazing.!

Ya the pouring rain is music to my ears. I love the sound it helps me sleep. Its going to be just as noisy as any other RV. Regards =Cosmo . Check my other videos th-cam.com/users/cosmoweemsvideos SUBSCRIBE th-cam.com/users/cosmoweems
Love the crickets sound, sleep in 3 mins!
I did look at these trailers but I came to the conclusion that I don't want to tow anything. It would just be too much of a hassle for me. If I did tow, it would likely be a greenhouse on wheels so I can continue to grow tomatoes and peppers for my homemade salsa. Lol.
Ya best to find whats best for you. I am just showing what its like. I have made sprouts while on the road. I will be doing that again this summer. =Cosmo
I think they're neat little trailers if I was inclined to tow something. I've considered doing sprouts or baby greens on the road but Idk how feasible it will be for me. I may just have some Tillandsia air plants. Lol.
Great set up Cosmo!

When it comes down to it there is no bathroom in a teardrop and running to a campground bathroom in the middle of the night is not fun to say the least. After the age of 70 there is no way we can last the night without a bathroom visit!

Hi Cosmo, Vistabule #78 here! I see you have locking lug nuts. What size and brand did you get?
Love your videos and could not agree more. We bought out Vistabule to be outside and enjoy nature but not be in a tent or a big RV. I have also looked at all different tear drops and none have all what I need like this one.
Hi Glenn. Help keep the honest people honest! I cant remember the details on the wheel locks. They are available in many auto parts stores and of course on Amazon!
Yes , it is really nice.I wonder,have you ever taken it to watch a drive in movie?lol
Ha ha ha ha ha If I took it to a drive in I would miss the movie and spend all the time playing with my guest!
Love everything about the Vistabule - I’m very close to buying one myself! Looks like you have owned one now for over 4 years so wondering if you have experienced any significant problems. Very concerned over water damage occurring over time. Should I be?
Hi. Visabule is still my favorite recreation toy. I store mine in the garage so only time it sits in the wet, ice, snow etc is when traveling. Facebook has a Vistabule enthusiasts group you can post there and get more feedback. But I have not heard about any issues. Also Vistabule customer support is excellent. =Cosmo Check my other videos th-cam.com/users/cosmoweemsvideos SUBSCRIBE th-cam.com/users/cosmoweems

I just purchased new a Runaway XL Camper 4x8
I downsize from a full Jayco Swift flight.
One person all I now need.
Best regards 👍
Los Angeles
Thanks Mr Hahn. I like Runaway trailers. Super duper value! Enjoy! =Cosmo
The Runaway ROUSER is 6 X 8 with a 6 ft. interior height.
That facilitates putting a rear cargo/bike rack on the back.
In Canada, they have those KOMO plastic rear storage containers.
A teardrop shape prevents you from putting anything like that in the rear though.
Hi. I just found your video and liked it, saw two more, then subscribed. Great videos for someone who is unsure about these little trailers. Got some questions, if you could have time, like 1) using the kitchen, since it is outside, have you ever had a scare with wildlife when you have been cooking? I think that is one of my concerns, 2) how long your food lasts when you do boon docking? like, how much you can bring, like for 2 weeks or so? since it is so small 3) how easy it is to go off road with it?, and lastly, 4) how do you feel about if there is any kind of threat when you are inside the trailer, and you cannot go to your vehicle and leave ? I heard a lot of people that talk about this when getting a trailer vs a van, or rv or minivan. In those three you just can start it and leave, but not in a trailer. I am debating between a tear drop or a mini van, in the mini van I would like to avoid the conversion and in the tear drop trailer the main concern is the security issue in question #4. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hi EL
I have been camping my entire life and trailer boondocking for 5+ years. Never had a problem with wildlife even in Black bear country. We don’t have Brown bear and Grizzly bear here. But they are a different story. They run the show. I would not be grilling a salmon or steak outside in Griz or Brown country. I have had gear I left out chewed on my small critters. But it was my fault.
The fridge can be set to freeze or refrigerate. I have been out boondocking for 20 days. I used mixed fresh/frozen and no spoil packaged food. You are only limited by your imagination. Food that does not have to be kept cold stays in the car.
Off road is easy of you pick the road carefully. I walk many roads before I drive them to make sure I wont have a problem. Since I am often traveling alone I don’t have a spotter which means I have to get out and look I am not about to wreck the car. So far no issues. But you have to be open to telling yourself I cant make it down this road. That’s not an issue - there are plenty more to explore. I carry some self-rescue stuff too like traction mats.
I agree there is psychological comfort in being able to jump into the drivers seat. Unless the intruder has blocked your way… Let me put it this way. There are 16,000 human on human murders in the USA a year. 99.999% of those take place in heavily populated areas. In contrast there is less than one Black bear/human attack a year. I feel much safer boondocking than on a bus. The most dangerous parts of my trip statistically is the drive to the campsite!
Keep researching your on the right track. I did my videos to help people get started no mater what vehicle they choose. I did not want another motor vehicle. So in my case the trailer makes lots of sense for me. Its minimal maintenance and it meets my primary objective - it gets me outdoors!
Thanks for watching =Cosmo
@@CosmoWeems thank you so much for replying. Your advice has helped a lot. Take care and safe travels!
Nice review. I have a question about your clam shelter. Teardrop camping you spend more time outside. I was looking at some type of easy to set up shelter like the clam. But looking at some reviews a lot of people talk about them leaking even when they have the storm screens in place. Have you had an issue with it leaking? Thanks
I have a new MSR Huba Huba... It leaks. I had to seal the seams . My clams have not leakes. But I I am thinking I may seal the seams since I use it so much. I think its a good idea to seal the roof seams on any tent including the Clams. Having said that - I am typing this post from my Sky Clam at a boondocking site in Pennsylvania Clam is great! Thanks for watching. =Cosmo
Great video, you offer a lot for one to consider. Where do you store your clothes? And where do you change your clothes? It would seem easy to change your clothes when you have the bed in sofa mode. But I’m guess you actually have to leave the trailer to change from bed to sofa and back again. I’m looking to get a trailer, and love the yours. But I’m considering a larger one (Tab 400) because I don’t see where you can store your clothing, and I rather not change my clothes outside.
I Brad. Its a personal preference. I knew what I needed, Cloths stay in the car in plastic tubs (waterproof). Changing is not an issue for me. For a better feel of teardrop camping see my video's I show lots of gear in use. =Cosmo Check my other videos th-cam.com/users/cosmoweemsvideos SUBSCRIBE www.youtube.com.
When considering a T@B make sure the water tanks, (Fresh Water) are large enough to deliver the promise of a shower and toilet. Some models offer a shower with a 10 gallon water tank which is unrealistic. =Cosmo
got me a weeroll and im happy

Hey there. Enjoy your vids. Still mulling over teardrops. One thing I haven’t seen you go over and would love for you to is pro and con of fiberglass vs sticks. I see bean from Utah has one out there. I really like the vistabule setup but wondering if fiberglass for less rot issues trumps my aesthetic and functional preference.
Any guidance from the teardrop sage?
Ha ha ha the only sage you will get from me is from the spice rack! I dont think it matters if the rig is fiberglass or even the brand for that matter. I love my trailer. But thats because it has the features I wanted. A Hiker Camper trailer starts at about $4K. If the trailer can fit you and your stuff and is well ventilated You can add lighing, battery etc easily. Do think about how your system will work when camping go there mentally and live in your choice and see how it works in you mind! Regards and Thank You =Cosmo
Cosmo Weems thx. I just see so many vids on mainly bigger travel trailers and how fiberglass will not have leaks or rot issues since no seams or limited wood.
Yes the Scamp and Casita trailers have a single seam in the middle. All depends on the design. Get when ever suites your style best.Cosmo
Great little Campers. I've looked at them a number of times but I just don't think they would work in Southern Florida where you need to have an A/C.
Now hold on there Ed. You can get air conditioning in the trailer if you want it! I chose not to. But its an option! Regards =Cosmo . Check my other videos th-cam.com/users/cosmoweemsvideos SUBSCRIBE th-cam.com/users/cosmoweems
I am in Florida and was looking at buying one... A/C is one of the options. You can have both A/C and heater... they have normal suspension or an option for 2" lift... They have it all... Got back to their website and take a second look.
Hello Cosmo. Great information, I've learned a lot. Last time I talked to you you recommended a 12 volt battery for my teardrop. Thanks for the diagram of my electrical system. Enjoy your stay in Maine... What battery would you recommend..
Hi Gerry. Nice to meet you and thanks for the gifts! You need to make sure the battery will fit in the battery compartment. My trailer could fit this battery VMAX SLR125 I like it. Check with the trailer maker they can provide more specifications on the battery. You will need solar to recharge when camping for more than a day or two. I have many videos about his. I am working on the video of your trailer. Revgards =Cosmo
Maine was wonderful We loaded up on Lobster rolls! =Cosmo

Love your commentary. But I don't see essential safety features. Where are the fire extinguishers? Smoke and CO detectors? And in that you have inline propane the LPG detector?

I really would enjoy camping in this. We’ve had a travel trailer and sold it, but I only need a “safer” tent. My biggest problem is my adult son and I need separate sleep areas and that doesn’t seem doable in this type unit, but I’m open to any suggestions. (He’d need somewhere to hang his special
Olympics medals, too. 😉)
Congrats on the Olympian! One option is to use the trailer and get something like the Clam Shelter for junior.. I reviewed 2 Clam shelters Check my other videos th-cam.com/users/cosmoweemsvideos SUBSCRIBE th-cam.com/users/cosmoweems
Earth Traveler T300 can have separate rooms and is design to be a safer tent. 😉
Hey there! Love ur videos. I was just curious about your solar set up. Can you run your max air fan all night on a fully charged battery when camping off grid?
Yes I can run the fan all night off grid.
How is ventilation with windows closed? I’m in the south and it gets hot down here. Just curious how effective the air moves in there with a fan or two.
Hi Clayton. Air conditioning is an option on this trailer. There are two opening windows on each side. Plus ventilation ports that can be opened. When its hot I of course open the windows. Roof fan is not enough for me when its very hot. I bring a 12V Box fan which is enough for me. amzn.to/2ZJdAhW Thank You for watching. Check my other videos th-cam.com/users/cosmoweemsvideos

Hello D ya This rig (which is not for everyone) does require more nature trips to pee. I dont mind and I knew that going in. Its a bit Ironic my friends with big rigs use the campground toilets too! On the positive side I have seen creatures like a Luna Moth at night on a bathroom trip. I enjoy the night. Aliner is a wonderful rig. Thats the great thing about RVs we can all find exactly what we are looking for. Enjoy =Cosmo Check my other videos th-cam.com/users/cosmoweemsvideos SUBSCRIBE th-cam.com/users/cosmoweems
Where do you store all that stuff, and how do you cook or even reach your kitchen in bad weather? I love your rig but was just wondering......
All breaks down and stores in the car Solar panels behind the couch. Its not a problem. I have a 4 leg shelter for over the kitchen to cook in any weather. I love it. You can see it all in action on my channel I have one video specially about rain camping. Check my other videos th-cam.com/users/cosmoweemsvideos SUBSCRIBE th-cam.com/users/cosmoweems
I place a canopy above the kitchen, it's so cool to cook when it rains outside! With a teardrop you feel closer to nature, more as an adventure. It's not for everyone.. But if you still have this kid side in you oh man, so damned fun!

I was used to a Costco comfort mattress (Foam) added to our overhead bed in our Lance Camper. The combination was super comfy. My question is, since I cannot visit a Vistabule, Is mattress comfort really excellent or would you rate it “good”?
On my trailer Vistabule used a Ikea Futon mattress. You might want to check with Vistabule and see if that is still the case. Then maybe you can get to an Ikea store and check it Comfort definition varies from person to person so any feedback would only be accurate for me. I prefer it to my backpacking foam pad for sure! =Cosmo =Cosmo Check my other videos th-cam.com/users/cosmoweemsvideos SUBSCRIBE www.youtube.com
Cosmo Weems - Thank you Cosmo. I thank you for all your additional video presentations to low cost comfort as an EX-Owner of an expensive large unit costing me $$$ just plugged in, sitting at my home not moving. Like you, we we’re recipients of an estate many would kill for. Within no time, we learned so many thugs (The Financial System) an the IRS, State franchise tax board. All our lined up to rob portfolios making the unawares dirt poor in no time.
I generally find the RV industry a big RIP-off as well. I have my stories galore. The Tear Drop coupled to our 2015 all wheel drive Highlander I believe will make us very happy as short term travelers. The last five years we’ve been very fat and happy booking Cruise ship excursions. One bag each. No fuss, no muss, runs like clock work thus far. But, we are also planning on lessening out financial footprint in small square footage paying only cash in our next relocation move. Studying states this second.
@@garbinator09 Nice Gary. For me its all about experiences now. Material needs for me are minimal. I have been wise to the rif raf eager to insert themselves into my picture. Im not ready for a cruise yet. Im gong back into the wilderness next week for some great nature time. =Cosmo
its good if you know where you are going. now imagine if the rain didn't stop. how will you cook food? how will you set up solar charger if its windy. dont get me wrong its good. and just as you said, everyone needs to find what works for them.

How much are the teardrop campers I'm thinking about buying one
Price varies quite a bit. You can get a Hiker Camper brand or Run Away for as low as $3500 last time I checked. From there the sky is the limit. Check my other videos th-cam.com/users/cosmoweemsvideos SUBSCRIBE th-cam.com/users/cosmoweems

For the prices they want for most of them? Hell No!
A tow trailer, some plywood, a few accessories total chost $3,000.
Retail price $16,000.
For $16k I would buy a used Jeep or pickup for $10k and spend $2,000 on a tent and other camp gear and keep $4k in my pocket.
You can get a Hiker Camper or Runaway teardrop for $4K.Thank You for watching. Check my other videos th-cam.com/users/cosmoweemsvideos

MrKlarans - Yes, I can understand. But other tent covers can enlarge the kitchen area keeping stuff dry. Unless gust of wind become problematic.
I’d say thats sandwich making time there... Or Mic Dees! 🤗
I have several solutions for rain including what you pointed out. th-cam.com/video/4F1bRn84tXg/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/RW_e9KGKSxM/w-d-xo.html Of course there are many more ideas for adding living space when needed! =Cosmo
