We are just coming back from a 20 day trip on Prince Edward Island, Canada with our 5x10 Silver Shadow. You are right, it can be challenging in a teardrop when the weather is bad, especially when the Alcove is not set up over the galley! We almost never eat in restaurants so we really need a shelter over the galley to keep us dry. I was wondering if you always sleep in campgrounds or maybe you are boondocking some times? if boondocking, do you have a way to shower yourself at your trailer? Just curious about that since we would like to start boondocking next year. Thanks again for sharing?

We have spent 140 + days in it, with our longest trip lasting 67 days. We have been followed into gas stations, rest stops,and campgrounds so people can look at it, and tell us how cute it is. Every single day we have had someone stop by. In the beginning it as one a day, now that teardrops are becoming better known we are giving 3 - 4 tours a day. <br />We hear husbands saying I wish I could have one like this but the wife wants.....<br />And then on the other side of the coin we have wives looking, loving it, and talking only to have their husband come over and take her by the arm and guide her away. <br />Our little teardrop has more than paid for itself, and yes we do love it too.<br />Oh, and Thanks for your wonderful blog.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969150976338233210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6736805201700186470.post-88163934306896821742016-08-30T09:24:07.652-07:002016-08-30T09:24:07.652-07:00Good for you!

Of course, people in campgrounds are the nicest you will ever meet and I'm more than happy to give a tour of the Sunflower. But sometimes I just need to eat and rest and it's more difficult to hide out in 40 square feet than a larger camper. :-)tinyyellowteardrophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146256337115269302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6736805201700186470.post-26706178355958328332016-08-29T10:20:08.498-07:002016-08-29T10:20:08.498-07:00Oh, and I detest I-70 west of Denver.

My very first camping/teardrop/trailering/doing any of this alone trip was a trip from Nebraska to South Carolina and back over the course of three weeks. I'd had my camper for five whole days. It was fabulous, freeing, ethereal, instructional, and made me feel so alive. I'm remembering all of these things while reading your list. As a traveler on my own pulling a cute red conversation magnet, I was careful at first not to be too friendly to curious on-lookers. As I moved about from campground to campground, I was able to read people better, I think, and not to be so paranoid--somehow I thought that paranoia and savvy went hand-in-hand. I learned that people have an enormous capacity to just want to be friendly, encouraging, and make a human connection. That's what I learned from my travels. Grateful for it!
