Living full-time in a teardrop trailer

[jon p]

I know it will sound silly or ridiculous to some, but does anyone know of someone who lives full-time in a teardrop trailer? Just curious....

One of our customers lives in his full time & has done so for the past 5 years. He travels all over the country - from Maine to California; Florida to Alaska...Interestingly enough, he has chosen to spend most of his winters in Minnesota (can you say -50°?)

Hold on there cowboy

Russ is the guy in the cargo trailer, not that it makes much difference when the wind is blowing and it's 0 degrees outside.

We have a a few people over the years live full time in a teardrop, the longest running fulltimer I know is Guy who has Teardrops for Vet's . He has taken teardrop living and made an art out of it.

My friend, Alison, does not do it year-round, but several years ago, she, and her dog, toured the US in her teardrop for about 6 months. The last 2 years, she has been tent camping around the US. She rents her house in CA, and then heads out for about 6 months or so on the road.

Here is a link to her blog:

She has developed into a wonderful photographer over the past few years.

I'm pretty sure Guy lives full time in his teardrop or just about full time.

Other than Russ and his Cargo trailer, I know of one other person who lives fulltime in a scamp 13 footer.
I do not know anyone living in a teardrop fulltime, they would have to be one different person than myself.

Hi, I have been living in my teardrop since Aug. 1st 2010. I am having a blast. I have been through some of mother natures wild storms this past month in the NV. and So Cal. areas. Whew. I just started another new web site about my travels – Ramseys travels. Check it out. http://www.ramseystravels.com/Welcome.html
As well as my Southern Utah Travel web site http://www.suthernutahtravel.biz.

There was an older lady at last years ADK Tearup with a T@b trailer and I heard that she lived in it full time. 20 years ago or so we met a retired couple with a pickup and travel trailer, maybe a 18 footer, that had leased out their house and were on the road full time, moving every couple days, north in the summer, south in the winter, all over the country. East coast the year we met them, previous year was central US. They still had a house to go back to when they got tired of traveling. Sounded like a good idea to us.

Yes Mark 72 some Minnesota SP have heated facilities for winter use, imagine there are a few private campgrounds also. Heat wave here in Minnesota right now, almost hit 20 today.

I enjoy dreaming of living about 9 months in my teardrop mostly in Northern Minnesota. if the opportunity ever comes around hope I am quick enough to grab it.
