Review summary
Communicative and helpful host
Joshua is consistently communicative before and during trips, ensuring guests are well-prepared. He is friendly, easy to work with, and goes above and beyond, even assisting with last-minute changes and making pickup/dropoff easy.
Effortless towing and maneuvering
Guests found the teardrop effortless to tow with vehicles like a Tacoma or Subaru Outback, even over steep passes, noting good gas mileage and easy maneuverability. It's described as a perfect, comfy size with a fan for cooling and includes basic necessities like a propane stove.

5.0My wife and I really enjoyed this trailer. It was a perfect size for us on our week long trip to Alabama Hills. It was 95⁰+ during the day while we were there and the trailer had no problem staying relatively cool with the help of the fan to really cool it down at night. Towed it with my 4th gen Tacoma with ease and not bad on the gas mileage eithe. Joshua was super communicative and friendly, made sure we were set for our trip. Would definitely recommend!

5.0We absolutely loved our trip with the teardrop — it was everything we needed and wanted and nothing we didn’t. Joshua went way above and beyond as a host, and even helped out to handle some last minute changes and issues on our end. I can’t say enough good things about this little camper and the host — if you’re thinking of renting, you won’t regret!!

5.0Spent the weekend in the Eastern Sierras leaf-peeping and couldn’t have asked for a better camping experience! The trailer had everything we needed, was light enough to tow with my Subaru Outback over steep passes, and easy to maneuver around the backcountry for dispersed camping. We’ve been thinking about purchasing one of these for a while now, and after this trip, it’s definitely on our list! The host was very communicative before and during the trip. Give it a try, you’ll want one yourself!

5.0First teardrop experience and it was amazing. Just enough room to enjoy but not want to just stay inside. All the comforts of sleeping in a bedroom and away from bugs and creatures but kitchen outside and nature are all present.

Frequently asked questions
Q.
What flexibility is available for picking up and dropping off the RV?
A.
My schedule is typically flexible, so as long as you message me in advance, you can let me know what may be best for your trip schedule.
Q.
Are there any special tricks and tips that would help with operating the RV easily?
A.
One of the great things about our teardrop is that it is comparatively light and manueverable. That said, beware of muddy terrain and know your capabilities when it comes to backing up. One simple trick if you are on level ground is that, instead of backing up , you can simply unhook it and move the trailer yourself. Reach out for more tips!
