Trailer has been sold!
Very nice 2004 Little Guy Teardrop Trailer
This 4 x 8 factory built camper is ready to go camping!
It has been garage kept for most of its life, and has just undergone a light rehab.
Camper weighs roughly 600 pounds, including the 85 pound tongue weight, and so can be towed with just about any small car.
If you are new to teardrops; they are a huge step up from tent camping.
They are small, light, and easy to maneuver.
They require no setup; open the door and your bed is already made!
In the morning, instead of digging through your car to find your stove and cooking gear, just open the back hatch where everything has been safely stored away from the weather and raccoons.
If it rains, you don’t have to pack up a wet tent and all your gear, just close the door and go.
The sleeping area is dry and cozy. There is a cupboard over the end of the bed with two doors for storage of clothes or whatever you bring.
There are several battery powered LED lights if you wish to camp in remote areas. If you prefer a campground with electric hookups, you can plug in an extension cord and have power available in the kitchen area, and the sleeping cabin.
There are even two USB ports!
The camper has a screened slider window in each door, and an operable roof vent.
The sleeping area comes carpeted from the factory, ready for the mattress of your choice.
(I have a new never used basic foam mattress I’ll throw in if you’d like it).
The floor and walls are carpeted with indoor outdoor carpeting to add a measure of insulation to help prevent airborne moisture from contacting the cooler exterior walls which can lead to condensation.
Here is what I have done to/for the camper;
Installed new safety chains
Installed new door catches
Installed a new roof vent cover
Installed a new electric cord entrance door
Installed two new hatch handles/locks
Cleaned and painted the tongue for a nicer appearance
Cleaned, re-packed and adjusted the wheel bearings
Cleaned and polished the exterior
Removed any questionable seals/caulking and replaced with new
Inspected, cleaned, and sealed the bottom of the exterior walls in the wheel well area
Extras;
It has very good tires on sporty wheels
Is wired for a ceiling fan
Has a receiver on the rear for a bike rack or storage platform
It has a flat 4 plug at the rear for extra lights for bike rack, storage shelf, etc.
Has a bracket on the exterior for a removable shelf
Has a fold up tongue jack with dolly wheel
The known issues;
The camper has a few minor dings and marks. The graphics are no longer new and perfect. Some of the graphics, mostly on the front of the trailer, were removed. Under the right viewing angle you can see the outline of the old graphics.
All the graphics could be removed with a hair dryer/mild heat if they are a concern.
There are some dings on the inside paneling at the foot of the bed. The galley shelf opens to allow access to the foot of the bed, to make fitting sheets and blankets easier, and to allow you to store items under the galley shelf when traveling. Items thus stored have rubbed and dinged the panel face.
The Melamine counter top has a crack in it toward the left edge but does not hinder use and isn't falling apart
Some of the plastic edging on the melamine is dinged and damaged, but again, doesn't hinder use
There is minor surface rust on some of the metal of the frame (it is 11 years old)
There is no frame rot or rust through of any kind!
This is a great camper for a fair price to customize to your liking or to try as a starter teardrop to sell later to recover your money if you want to upgrade.
Some people prefer bigger and fancier, and some prefer small and easy to move around by hand.
If you aren’t sure if you can back a trailer, aren’t very good at it, or like to maneuver it into tight spots, this is the one!
It is easily pushed, by hand into a camping spot or your garage.
Price is $3200.00 And I have a clear Illinois title in hand.
Camper is located in Urbana Illinois, 61802 and is of course available for detailed inspection.
