I checked the website as well, do you have any pics of the interior?

I really like the design! :thumbsup: :applause:

Does it sleep 4? The web site states two full size beds.

I would also like to see some interior pictures.

What is the price range of your teardrops?

I too would really like to see the interior shots.

Kinda reminds me of the T@b.

If it were me however, I'd push to squeeze a queen-size (60"x80", something like 1.6x2.15m) bed. My perspective on beds is trailers is that I'm going to be spending 8 hours of every day laying there. I want it to be as comfortable as possible. In contrast, I don't care THAT much about headroom - not like I'm gonna be putting in a dance floor... I just want it to roll through my 6'10" garage door.

It's not a Teardrop, but it is a Teardrop Travel trailer and looks pretty good. Nothing wrong with a small travel trailer with the kitchen outside. With the trend towards small travel trailers over there, it should go good. Good luck in your adventures.

Have a good day.

I first noticed your trailer on the Australian site (Reiner's). When I first saw it I thought eeyuk. Upon my second viewing I still feel the same.. :thumbdown: being honest here. But then again I am only building my first and that doesn't truly conform to the teardrop standard; more like the TTT standard without a galley.

If Darth Vader owned a tear drop, it would look like this one. The stainless steel galley and interior cabin look too institutional for my taste.

I kinda like the stainless galley, it looks very European (I wonder why) clean and sleek. Like it was lifted from an IKEA catalog.

I agree with Asianflava. I really like the stainless galley, but then most of my house is furnished with items from IKEA. We do have a more contemporary home.

About that galley, take a look at the bottom of the hatch/galley...there is no seal there which means the galley will always be full of road dust. Poor design!

Hi Steve,

Your right about the hatch. At the time the pictures were made, we didn't have a hatch. We have one now to prevent road dust from getting in. Thanks for pointing out anyway, if you have any more suggestions, please let me know!

I like that front door, though. And are those drawers under the bed?

Hi Laredo,

Yes, under the bed there are two drawers for storage and one door in the middle for a small toilet (Portapotti).
