Thank you, Doug. :thumbsup: I guess that does make it decided and defined.

Actually, a 16" trailer would work well for a certain Wyoming resident who regularly posts. Maybe it wouldn't blow over every time they used it. I don't know how any of you can live in a continual vortex of blown over trailers. :lol: Doug

I've taken to calling my trailer a Teardrop Shipping Crate. So, if you can fit a teardrop inside your trailer and have no room left over in which to sleep or cook, then you've probably got a TTT.

Now I'm lost.

If a teardrop trailer is teardrop-shaped, and a TTT is tall enough to stand up in...

What does that make my camper? It's wedge-shaped, but you certainly can't stand up in it!

You don’t want to know what I call your trailer. Because that would offend you and that’s just not being politically correct. :lol:

In my opinion, anything, including a Teardrop, is a TTT if it is 16' or less. However, not every TTT is a Teardrop. How's that for confusing things?! :lol:

Clearly, you know it when you see it.

Well here in California, a teardrop is not a Tiny Travel Trailer but a Camp trailer. Although some Tiny Travel Trailers (under 15' in length) are also classified as Camp Trailers. That's per California DMV. ;)

Supposedly, according to CA DMV, the difference between a camp trailer and an RV is if it has a plumbed toilet in it. (Camp trailers don't.) (Also, the registration cost goes up considerably if it is classified as an RV.) So, that might confuse things even more! :? :lol:

Yes it is considered to be a TTT. It's also considered to be a camp trailer because it's less than 15'. That makes it eligible for a permanent trailer license which you only have to pay DMV fees every 5 years. Calif. DMV has my Burro classified as a camp trailer, but we all know it’s a Tiny Travel Trailer. :lol:

I've joked when we go camping with friends, who have a toyhauler, we should push the tear inside their camper for the drive and then we could drive a more economical vehicle. They just use it as a giant open bunkhouse/playroom for their four young kids, and do not bring ATVs or anything with them.

Currently on the cargo trailer conversion thread the owner of a 8.5' wide by 20' long trailer is asking for advice. So I guess it qualifies as a ttt in this forum :lol: :lol:

Gage, Lisa thinks your Burro is "Cute' . From her that is a high compliment. :thumbsup:
