Teardrops are the cutest little trailers we’ve seen. They really are tiny and there they were at the Pioneer Village Campground we stayed at in Minden NE. It was a rainy Saturday afternoon when we arrived and the teardrops all left the next morning, so I didn’t get many close-ups or talk to their owners. They originated in the 1930’s and are still manufactured today and can be pulled by almost any vehicle. Many of them have been restored or built from scratch and seem to be well loved although the whole camper is only about 4’ high and 8’ long, so the doors are shorter than most adults who have to crawl into their beds. The backs of them open to expose a little, well-planned kitchen area.
One we saw, owned by an older couple, had an extra trailer to pull their own porta-potty hut! Another even had it’s own air conditioner. For people who love camping but don’t want to set up a tent, they’re ideal and the camaraderie of the campers was evident. As they pulled out, one of the best bumper stickers we’ve seen, said “I go where I’m towed”.
