Im Ross im 31years old I live in a small rural community in Australia, I have been searching for a camper for the past to years but here in Australia canvas campers that fold from the side off a trailer are popular but it wasnt what I wanted.
One day on ebay I came across a teardrop by accident, after much searching and research I found a guy in Australia that made teardrops but found they were far to expensive for what I was willing to pay,
I then searched globally and found many teardrop company's in the USA.
I took a liking to "Little guy campers" after contacting them and asking do they import to Australia I was pleased to find out that a Guy in Australia was importing them for the Australian market.
I then contacted him and told him I thought a teardrop was for me I wanted-
* no wet canvas to deal with.
* no or minimal setting up.
* able to pull up and sleep straight away.
* able to prepare a meal without any setting up.
* Had minimal affect in my fuel economy.
* and had to be Aluminum.
I was told that a teardrop would be perfect, except that he was not importing and aluminum little guys, I must admit I was disappointed.
but if I had to sacrifice one thing I guess thats what it would be.
So after many phone calls backwards and forwards waiting on a shipment from overseas I got a phone call saying that He himself had a little guy custom made out of aluminum for display purposes to which I could purchase at a discount price.
It was setup up with 12v power and battery as well as mains power and many other added features, without hesitating I said I would take it.
Teardrops arnt popular in Aus like the USA but one day I hope that they are so that we may have a chapter on this site or maybe our very own down under. I wish that more young people in Aus were into camper trailers, I have met alot of people older than myself but never my age. maybe one day. I hope to gain much knowledge and enjoyment from this site. I will try and include a photo of my Little Guy Deluxe plus.
Cheers Ross.
