Vistabule Teardrop Trailer Review: Four Rainy Days In Northern Minnesota

We had the opportunity to spend a weekend in the Vistabule Teardrop Trailer on our last 50 Campfires trip, and ended up appreciated the rainy weather. It gave us a chance to see how it performs in a variety of conditions. Here's what we thought.

We got ours in Sept ‘19 and absolutely love it. The camper is fantastic, and the Vistabule company is an absolute pleasure to work with.

These are genius things which make the difference. I've never been a camper lover but this solution is really great!
Easy and fast handling, that's what you need and want for outdoor experience.
I'm really impressed! 👍👍

I like to see field reviews of trailers of all types and in all price ranges. I can then make up my own mind whether the features are what I want, and if the price is reasonable . This was a good review.

Best review of this teardrop so far. I like your pacing and slow shots.

Thanks for the review! Staying in it, towing it, having your wife check out the kitchen and sleeping/table arrangements. I'm curious about these little trailers. Way better than a tent! Can easily tow it! Love the kitchen in the back. Plus you guys cooked dinner on rainy nights, no problem. Sink, fridge, stove, lights, and you were out of the rain the whole time!
Another advantage to these RV's is they can be parked in a garage. People who live in condos or other HOA restrictions on RV storage/parking.

A lot of people don't have space for a large camper but still need an enclosed space for the family. After many hours searching, the Vistabule Teardrop looks like one of the best-built campers I have come across. Also, the tongue weight is so low that my car can pull it. I'm very impressed! The sticker price is a little high, but you get what you pay for as a lot of these mass-produced mainstream campers lack longterm quality. Also, you'll be hard-pressed to find a micro camper with a bathroom, except maybe a NuCamp Tab S. However, the Tab S bigger, heavier, and more expensive.

Nice little trailer for those who want a snug, compact space. I felt like the Vistabule guy wanted to tell us a little more; would have been interesting to know more about their company, philosophy, mission, work ethic, etc.

Love the fact that you came to Minnesota! Since you mentioned you bike a lot, you should o a video of you traveling and biking.

Very cool teardrop trailer. I like the fact that the bed tilts up to a couch position. Plenty of ventilation with this model. The galley is very nicely laid out. The side skirts on the galley are a very nice feature to help with wind and rain while cooking or just having the rear open. Love the built in solar panels to charge the battery with. You talked about the con to all teardrops - wet weather and climbing in/out of the doorway without getting the bed wet. A small side awning for the door would be perfect to prevent the water from coming straight into the bedding.

I purchased a used larger trailer with a full stove, toilet, shower etc, which had been lifted affording great ground clearance. It cost 25% of the price of this Vistabule. We have towed it up very rough roads and also camped warm & dry during the stormy weather which occurs in late fall/early spring at altitude. Campers depreciate quickly, no need to pay full price.

Very nice camper. Thanks for the video sir.

Love it. Nicely done. Would like to see a bigger scaled up version for sitting headroom and another model for standing.

[danlovaj]

Big fan of these...someday will own one....to those complaining about the cost...You want quality craftmanship built in the good ole USA but at cheap Chinese made prices? Always want it both ways...that's the American way now lol

Beautiful Teardrop trailer. I’d like to see a specific model available with every available option. I need AC, heat, solar, maximum battery, maximum propane, off road off grid capabilities. This can easily be stored in a standard garage when not in use.

[Henry]

Here’s an idea for you, those 3 doors that open at the front of the trailer, work the hinges somehow so they open out like they do and up also for some kind of platform. Have a good day!

[danielvasquez]

Love the teardrop trailer self. I think the design is marvelous especially with that big window in front. But for my needs I would need bigger Wheels and more clearance underneath. I tend to Boondock and fairly remote places. I know if I put big wheels underneath it would change the design. But I was wondering if I could swap bad axle read different setup with 35 inch wheels

[mikew]

When I looked at the base price I was taken back. Then when I added up the options I was floored. A small outfit like this would necessitate a higher price, as their volume would be low, with probably a longer wait time for delivery. But, whoa, that much money for the things you don't get, things that come standard on other rigs that cost much less, and have other advantages besides. But, it's your money, spend it as you like. I do admire the entrepreneurial spirit in these folks.

[johnricks]

Shower, and bathroom space will be ideal and will make it perfect

[jimwagner]

It's so well thought out, I would call it the airstream of teardrops.

Cinnicinnati chili...nice. That outlet in the galley should be on the inverter...
