Hello from future teardropper!

[igorsadventures]

Hello!

I am a new guy from Canda who can't live without roadtrips.
I want to travel far, and I want to travel free. I have moved to Canada last summer and I am eager to see Canada and US from east to west, from north to south.
I have been interested in teardrops for several years, and now I want to start teardropping.

I have several newbie questions, would really appreciate to know more:
1. Please confirm I can tow a trailer with regular class 5 license (I live in Montreal)
2. Any ideas where I can park a trailer in a city? I live in condo building with only one parking space for my car. I don't really want to leave a trailer on a street.
3. Is it possible to rent a trailer first? I want to try one or two models before I can make my mind and buy. I am a tall person (194 cm or over 6 feet), so I need quite a long trailer to sleep comfortably.
4. My budget is around 5-6K CAD, maybe a bit more, is it possible to buy a decent second-hand trailer? I don't want a trailer older then maybe 5 years, and I would like to avoid custom-built ones for now (what is good for someone, is not so good for other). Would it make sense to buy it in the US? I can see that there are more of them for sale. However actual exchange rate can kill the idea and i'm not sure if I can import it (I know about 15 year restriction for cars, not sure about trailers
5. Do I need any additional insurance for trailer?

Sorry if some of my questions are stupid, I've been living in Canada for 8 months only, don't know many things that are obvious to others.

Hi Igor
What is your citizenship?
Can you travel freely across the Can/USA border.
What do you really want to see and how much time do you have to see it?
Camper trailers of all kinds are very cheap in todays market....in both Canada & USA.
Do you have any friends in the USA?
Your budget definitely makes having a tiny trailer to camp with very feasible!
There is a ton of help here on the Forum.
With the above info.....I will voice my opinion.
Good Roads

I was going to PM you this, but was not sure if you are that familiar with that part of the forum yet.
Check out the 9.5 Weekender For Sale in Texas.
Fly down, rent or buy a cheap car, and camp your way back.....seeing as much of the country as you can.
Or, Buy it, have the owner store it for a few months, tent down, teardrop back?????

Hi!
Yes, I can travel to USA freely. Can I buy it there and bring to Canada?
I plan to use teardrop for two purposes: first, weekend trips to campgrounds, national parks, etc., second - cross-country road trips for 1-2 weeks.
Thanks for your advice, I'll look at forum for more information, so far I have been able to briefly look at it.
I'd prefer to look for a trailer locally for a start, maybe in Quebec, Ontario and NE USA. Texas seem a bit too far to go for a trailer now
