You don't need a car to drive around such a trailer, you can simply hook it up to your motorbike. Even though a teardrop camper is small and lightweight, it offers enough storage space and also a dry and comfortable place to sleep at night no matter where you are.

When it comes to teardrop campers, there are many manufacturers and models to choose from. Depending on your budget and on your preferences, you have a variety of options to consider.

The Little Guy teardrop campers are the most suitable ones for being towed by a motorbike, but the other manufacturers have models which have been made to be towable by motorbikes as well.

Most of the models built by the manufacturers mentioned have a aluminum fiberglass exterior, which makes them so lightweight and so easy to move around.

The aluminum is also quite durable and it will offer you a dry place to sleep for a long time. These manufactures are also ideal to buy from because they have affordable prices.

According to many campers and people who like traveling lights, one of the best models of teardrop motorcycle campers is The Rascal Little Guy Teardrop camper.

Since most motorbike teardrop campers are quite small, usually they come with the basics: a mattress where you can sleep on, windows, safety doors and storage place.

However, these are limited in a teardrop camper because of their small size.

Visior's Story

The motorcycle Teardrop campers make for a nice little tiny camper to tow behind a motorcycle. These campers give more room than with the smaller pop up camper for a bike.

Whether you have a motorcycle and want to tow the camper to Minnesota, the bike can tow the camper. With the shape, you should not have all that much of a wind resistance when driving down the highway at a moderate speed.

Some Teardrop campers I saw for sale on a Harley site where a 1997 camper pulled by a 1998 Harley motorcycle or byke as some might say. The campers are so tiny and the weight under eight hundred pounds, makes for a nice camper for the over the road bike riders. This way, they have inside storage and can actually take more belongings along because they pull the Teardrop camper.

Down in Mississippi you see quite a few campers shaped like a Teardrop camper. Some of the old camping folks like the small, quaint quarters offered from the tiny campers. Teardrop campers also known as the tag along, make an easy camper to take into different places. The woods, well not on a motorcycle though, but they can be backed in when towing behind the byke.

Up in South Dakota at Sturgis, you see many little campers set up everywhere. The whole event costs some money, and many people prefer to camp at the campgrounds to save some money for the more necessary things, like fun and excitement. This is where you will see Harley’s of all kinds pulling a Teardrop camper. Motorcycle Teardrop campers have been around for a while as people started getting a little more accustom to pulling the camper for a distance. It may take some short trips here and there, before the long haul.
