Living Big in These 12 Spacious Teardrop Trailers

So, the roadtrippin’ adventurer in you wants you to buy a teardrop-shaped trailer.  And why not?  Not only are you leaving just a small footprint on this world compared to a conventional RV (recreational vehicle for the uninitiated), it’s compact enough to easily fit the tightest parking spot.  An average-sized teardrop trailer is only about 5’ tall and 10 ft length.  And that’s not a lot of room, is it?  Your bathroom at home could be way bigger than that.  You’re thinking that the teardrop should, at the very least, accommodate your basic activities inside such as cooking and sleeping? And maybe a little more?

With teardrop trailers becoming popular once again and having evolved since its modest beginnings in the 1930s, manufacturers are also keeping up by building more ambitious models to suit the needs of the modern man or woman.  Teardrop trailers are often more affordable options than a typical motorhome.  We guarantee you will be amazed at how spacious they can be with our top 12 teardrop trailers.  We can wholeheartedly recommend any one of them to be your next teardrop trailer purchase.  From small-scale manufacturers such as Little Guy Trailers to a more familiar Winnebago brand, these trailers are taking RVing to a higher level with their generous floor plans.  Come to think of it, teardrop-style trailers are often much more capable and luxurious than you might initially think.

For each teardrop trailer in our list, we will list items you probably would not expect to find inside a traditional teardrop trailer.  Believe me, it’s not magic – it’s space redefined, teardrop trailer-style!
