The Sunflower (packed up for a trip) waiting for us on the top of a parking garage. 

During longer trips, we sometimes have to park the teardrop in a city environment, and one of the only places that will accept (and fit) a teardrop trailer is the top floor of a parking garage. We've had to do this in Reno, San Francisco and Las Vegas. If you are traveling through a city, check first for RV or trailer parking areas and then try the top of a parking garage. However, some garages do not allow trailers to take up two spaces—or you might have to pay double.

 Using a teardrop trailer as a changing room at Travertine Hot Springs in California.

There have been several times when we have used our teardrop for a changing room. This is usually at hot springs, swimming pools, or parks with lakes or rivers that you can swim in. If we have the teardrop with us, it's so nice to just slip inside and change into or out of swimsuits or dry off with the towels we have in our "closet" and into dry clothes. The curtains on the window offer privacy and we try to keep the bed free of items so we can lie down if we need to.

It's so much easier than trying to wiggle into your suit or clothes in the back seat of a car.
