The Cutest Trailer You Ever Saw January 13, 2010
Posted by stuffilikenet in Awesome, Toys.trackback
While vacationing at Calaveras Big Trees year before last, I met this mother and son (I got their names, but they are lost in the mists of time).
The son had acquired the cutest trailer in the known universe, much of which he had built/restored himself.
The effort was not wasted, and he lavished a good amount of effort on the details, like the luggage boot,
the little carriage lights,
the cozy interior,
the spacious kitchenette, and
the matching handbag.
Exciting update:
Er, not really; I just wanted to share a cute picture with the sixty people who read this article every day. Thanks for visiting:
It’s called a teardrop trailer. I part a community of teardop builders you can see these wonderful creation at http://www.mikenchell.com/forums.
We’re a friendly bunch of people who just love to help others build one for your self. Come join us to see what it’s all about. I even think the people who built that trailer our part of our trailer building forum.

Adorable, can’t say anything better
I’ve seen these–they even have not so cute new ones–but I just can’t see putting me, a golden retriever, and 21 cats in one. And where I go, they go. I’m only 60, maybe when I’m older.
ADORABLE alright! Love the inlaid wood trimming too, the flower boxes and the matching purse. What a cozy scenario.
Where did you find the trailer-doghouse?! Too cute.
Oh yeah, and the country kitchen is, well, the best! 🙂
I can really relate to your own home-made rig; I lived and traveled 28 years and all in home-made rigs, starting with a 8-ft camper on a 57 Chevy truck, 23 MH, 28MH 32MH 42Class A and 36 class A and a 36 Jayco rebuilt from a crash. It’s the greatest way to enjoy life to the fullest, and to meet the greatest people.
Follow your dreams; you will get there or have a heck of a lot of fun trying.
Best wishes,

Ok please tell me that the son and his mother are not sharing that tiny bed…..and are there 21 cats really?!?!?!?
They had a tent as well, but that’s not nearly as picturesque.
And no visible cats.
Oh wow, what an adorable little dog kennel! I’ve used this as my Skype profile pic.
Great little trailer. We do have a 31′ Hitchiker with 3 tip outs, but many times when we want to head up into the winderness area we can’t us our big trailer. The home made teadrop as pictured would be perfect for towing behind our jeep and would definately provide a safe and comfortable place to stay while we enjoy the outdoors. Are there plans to build one of these little beauties?
You are asking the wrong guy; I wouldn’t know where to look except Google, the font of all knowledge.
I must say, I approve of anyone starting any project like this (and approve more highly of finishing).
Good luck.
Was camping at the Royal Gorge campground in Colo a couple of years ago and there was a whole convention of these little teardrops. Each had its own particular personality and design from Hawaii’n tropics, bar and pub, to a log cabin. They were so cute and the people just loved showing them off to everyone. Great bunch of units and people.
