My inlaws are interested in finding a teardrop trailer and decided to ask me since apparently owning a truck camper makes me an expert in all things RV related.

Anyone know a place in WA or OR that sells these things or can provide some insight into what mfg's are decent?

Thanks.

Irie, Mon.

They are all over the board as to price and quality. Couple to look at

I don't think they have nearly the tow capacity to handle a tent trailer. They'll be pulling it with a Subaru. Also storage is another issue. It would have to fit in a small carport.

Those first links on the camping earth site seem to be dead.

I'll pass the others along.

Hey - I pulled a 14 ft boat & motor with my '70 bug. Not too far and not too steep a ramp.
Some friends that are big mountain bikers have one they a bought Cozy
Cruiser about 5 years ago. It's easy to tow and turn around on unimproved roads. The guy said it's a metal tent with a ready kitchen. After living on a wood boat for 25 years, he likes the fact there aren't any systems to fix as he's tired of maintenance chores.
He doesn't like having to get out to take a leak in the middle of the night like us old codgers have to.

Irie,
Depending on where they live, the George Sutton RV place in Eugene has an excellent selection of several small trailers to look at. Great inventory but I don't know about the price, it seemed to me when I lived there that there were Big prices attached to Little trailers. But the inventory was great.

My neighbor has one that he was trying to sell a while back. It's very little. Aluminum. Nothing more than a place to sleep. You may be looking for something a little larger?

They are looking for a zero maintenance little thing that will get them out of the tent. They ride touring bikes and do rides such as the STP and the RSVP to BC.

They are also really, really cheap and don't want anything too spendy.

Think I found one:

850 lbs.

That's real similar. To me, they look too small to be practical, but if it does what they want, then that's gr8. My neighbor's just lives under a tarp now.

See if he wants to sell it.

Ok, I'll stop on the way home after work tomorrow and see if he's around. He's a knife maker and does a lot of shows.

Check you PM's.....got info
