Buying a new (or new to you) teardrop camper can be very exciting. Maybe you're drawn to the sense of newfound freedom, increased comfort, the ability to stop and sleep with minimal set-up.
However if you buy the wrong travel trailer, it can also lead to disappointment and a lot of unexpected costs. Even if you're buying a brand new trailer, there can still be problems with it.
Check out this video for a quick review of some of the things that you need to focus on for the best trailer-buying experience.And find out what I missed that left me without a trailer for over three months!

Thanks for stopping by the channel. Make sure you hit the like button and consider subscribing to the channel so you never miss another video of me almost falling over or crawling under another trailer. Take care and we'll see you out there. Safe travels 🙌

@de9699 3 месяца назад

Crazy thought, but as a short term 'hack' could you slice open a pool noodle and slide it on the galley door to keep at least some of the dirt out? That or foam pipe insulation, depending on how thick the gap is.

@adventuredawgs 3 месяца назад

I don't know if that's so crazy because I did think about those too. I have some figuring out to do.

Thank you! Lots of great information and I’m happy you have your trailer back. I am considering a teardrop so this was important for me to learn. Give the dogs some love ❤

@adventuredawgs 3 месяца назад

Thank you! You know I'm a big fan of the teardrop so feel free to ask away if you have any other questions about it. The pups are getting a ton of lovin' from you right now 😁

I haven't watched the video yet so don't jump all over me if the following was mentioned. Unless you really intend to be a solo camper avoid 4' wide models. That goes for homebuilts as well. Measure your home bed width, especially if you sleep with a partner. If the trailer is less than that expect crowding unless the trailer is at least 5' wide. Even if you build on a 4' wide frame you can expand the width over the fenders.

@adventuredawgs 2 месяца назад

@@joewoodchuck3824 I agree with you 1000%. I can’t imagine having it any tighter than the 5x8 that I have and even though it’s almost the same mattress, it feels much tighter with the walls.

@tricias5927 3 месяца назад

We had that same trailer, and had the problem of dust while traveling on gravel roads. We had a pass through and the dust was everywhere! Make sure you have a great seal or you’ll spend every trip cleaning!

@adventuredawgs 3 месяца назад

Oh wow! That sounds like quite a design flaw. Did you use anything specific to deal with it or just threw the sink at it until something worked?

@tricias5927 3 месяца назад

@adventuredawgs We ended up gerrymandering some foam and duct tape to seal it tight-ish -- not geeat, but better. If we still had the trailer, we would have probably had to take the hatch off and redo the weather-stripping and hinges. But a caribou and a pothole took care of that.

Look into bean Teardrop trailers 😊

@@Bluesky1ification I’d love a bean but they were way out of my price range, even for a used trailer. Maybe for my next one down the road.

@@Bluesky1ification I’ve watched a lot of his videos but the prices tend to be a little different in Canada. I spent a LOT of time creeping prices before I got mine. It may not be the best out there but it was the best that I could afford at the time.

Great video ,what brand is your teardrop ?

@adventuredawgs 22 дня назад

@@doughalldorson8663 thank you so much! It’s a diamond in the rough made by The Teardrop Company. They were based in Newmarket, Ontario but I think they moved to the east coast. Do you have a teardrop too?
