Hi All,

I am new to teardrops. I am nearing my purchase of a littleguys trailer...

it will be my weekday crash spot at work..., gonna be looking to add some mods...

Hi 556, welcome to the best teardrop forum on the web. Most of us teardroppers, enjoy the interaction of cooking and sharing the out of doors with our fellow teardrop owners. That means that we look forward to the bacon and eggs, hot coffee and such, that is prepared right out of our little rear galley, located under the hatchlid, out back. (Hi there, come on over and warm up at the fire, want a cup of coffee?)

The Little Guy Co., makes a quality camping unit, but you might want to consider getting a model that has a rear galley, as it offers you the option to interact with like-minded trailer owners. I am sure you would be happy with the ample cabinet storage and comfortable bed, with 48 inches of headroom, within the RT, but, be aware, you are denying yourself the pleasure of spending time outside and chatting with your fellow campers. You have to cook outside anyway, why not in your galley, where all of the pots, pans, food and plates are located?

I was once a motorhomer, and know how isolated I was, staying inside and not venturing out to chat with my fellow neighbors. This limited my connection with other RVers and ever since I became "teardrop-crazy", I have discovered how important it is to interact with the campers next door, and discover how much we all have in common.

A big part of camping in a teardrop, is getting to know the other nearby campground friends, and this can only be done, by spending most of your time outside. Give it some thought, I would hate to see you make the wrong choice. Just my two cents. Again, I say, welcome aboard, we are here to help, and not alter your choice of finding the perfect camping unit. Good luck on your selection, weather a weekday crash spot at work, or later as a get-away into some remote area. Sorry about the rant!

Roly, just an old happy So Cal. teardropper

Actually Roly, he still will be outside for his kitchen, even with no galley in the lil' guy, since there is no kitchen in any of them inside, it will have to be outside, it will just be probably on the picnic table or the tailgate of the tow vehicle, like oh I can't remember her screenname!!! but she has the beautiful matching tow and tear and more beautiful white dog, she sets up her kitchen in her tow vehicle. I love my galley too, but the outside more than inside still works for any of the little guys.

Welcome to the forum. I saw a used Little Guy on Craigslist the other day. Torrance, CA? Anyway, if you are not leaning toward building your own, which most people on this forum consider, check out So. Cal. Teardrops, and take the tour of their facility (which I have yet to do). I hear the guys are very helpful, and will sell you trim and parts if you do decide to build your own.

Big decision...which one to buy. I just got my Little Guy Silver Shadow late this past season. Looked long and hard at a couple of manufacturers and made my decision. Little Guy provides great support and service as well as a quality product. Be sure to investigate the possible extras you want to add to your unit. It's a whole lot easier to get what you want/need right up front than it is to try to add it later. Have fun, you're gonna have a ball!
