Frequently Asked Questions |
Why should I buy an Adventure Teardrop instead of a tent trailer?
Teardrops are lighter than most tent trailers which make them easier to tow. Solid walls, simple maintenance and easy operation could also be reasons to choose a teardrop camping trailer.
The teardrop community that you would become a part of is one of the friendliest groups of people out there that encourage and support each other while organizing meets, forums and tours, all a part of enjoying the freedom that teardrops offer.
Where do the kids go?
If your kids are still young they would enjoy the opportunity to rough it in a tent that can easily be stored within the teardrop while traveling, but if your kids are grown up you should encourage them to purchase a teardrop of their own and join you from time to time.
