Enjoy Camp MORE! 5 things that have changed the way we camp. 

You’re going to love it. Bonus tip: spin the guy wire around the pole, not yourself.

Hahah! LOL. Definitely Hollywood stunts and editing magic. The Andersen is still one of my favorite pieces of gear that we use at all those uneven areas.

You are welcome. This was a tip shared with me by Todd with TC Teardrops. He has a ton of knowledge and is always willing to share.

Thank you for the positive feedback. The guy wire is something I picked-up from the TC Teardrop community and now use the technique on all my awnings. Best of luck in your outdoor adventures. Stay safe out there.

That's awesome. The best part about teardrop camping is its generally pretty simple and the learning curve can be climbed quickly. Good luck on your camping adventures. Be sure to drop in time to time and drop some insights and tips.

Lol. I gotcha dude.

Welcome to the Teardrop community! A single axle, short wheel base is more challenging to back up than many expect. Smooth and small corrections is definitely the key. Best of luck on your teardrop and outdoor adventures. Looking forward to hearing about those fun experiences.

@@FreysOnTheSide Thank so much! We are loving our teardrop (Bean Trailer - Mean Bean). We had a Class C RV a few years ago but this is fitting our lifestyle so much better.

@nicadavelife Mean Bean is an awesome trailer. The build quality is amazing and love the target market of more rugged off-road version. We thought about one for in the past as I think it would hold up to our Wisconsin winters well. We also recently moved to a full size truck in lieu of our Jeep wrangler, so I feel the weight of these trailers is a little less concerning. Total side note: we have also talked in depth about a class C, but we think this will be a down the road decision.

Thanks for stopping and dropping a comment. As our community grows, we learn together. If you stumble across tips and tricks, be sure to drop a line and let us know.

There are so many options for levelling and although the Anderson takes up storage space and is a single use item, we still find the convenience of having it along. Todd with TC put us on to the guy wire method and we have been using it ever since. Works great for our applications, but still like to put the awnings away in high winds. It’s funny I preached keep it simple and for our short trips that holds true, but we are about to embark on a long trip (two plus weeks) and we packed to the hills and busting at the seams. Always interesting when you return from one of these trips to look at all the “stuff” you didn’t use. We will get back to “less” after this trip when everyone gets in the groove again.

I have an ORE and despite not being a longer trailer, it backs up surprisingly well.

Short trailers can be challenging due to the short wheel base. Small correction go a long ways. But at Steve said, the TC backs up like a dream. You’ll have it down in no time.

You bet! Backing up can be a challenge with a single axle, short wheel base trailer. It’s so important to slow down and take you time using small movements.

You’re welcome.

Ha! Good luck on your knot tying journey. I expect a 5 page report on the versatility of knots.

It’s a great camp hack! You’ll love it.

Great advise.
