I don't have a teardrop yet, but here's the reason I want one.
I presently own a Colement pop up. It' great. It's large and comfy. It's also a gigantic pain in the asphalt. Every time I use it, I have to set it up three times. Once to load crap in, once to camp in, and once to unload crap. It is not worth the effort for an overnighter.
We would really like to go out for overnighter with little planning or effort. The Coleman is not the right trailer for that. Plus I go camping with boy scouts, and it would be nice to have a tear instead of being in a tent with other leaders snoring like congested wild boars.
I have four sons, and it would be great to take them out on one-on-one campouts. Two hotdogs, a bag of marshmallows, some Lucky Charms, a quart of milk, and see you tomorrow!
I don't necessarily crave the traditional teardrop design. In fact I really like Mike's Weekender design. The point is that I'd like to have something quick, easy, comfy, dry, and windproof, and easy to store.
The Ooh-ahh factor is nice I guess, but I'm not concerned about impressing anyone.
