We once had the great fortune of owning a T@B Teardrop Trailer. Unfortunately, we were not able to keep it due to other variables that had nothing to do with the T@B itself. We really loved this trailer and will never forget our trips to many California destinations in it. Fortunately, we found another couple that seem like they'll love the T@B as much as we did if not more. We highly recommend the T@B to anyone who enjoys camping but hates getting caught in rainstorms, being cold at night, cooking in the wind, or having noisy neighbors in the camp.
The T@B T16-Q is under 2,000 lbs. making it easily towable with many 4-cylinder motors. We used to tow it with a 4-cylinder Nissan Xterra and had pulled it up Tioga Pass and several other steep grades with no problem. The T@B T16-Q also features grab handles that make it easy to maneuver by hand with help from the front jockey wheel. It is easily manageable for one person to setup.
Unlike the tear drop trailers that originated back in the '50s that only had a bed and an outdoor kitchenette, the T@B's have many conveniences liken to larger luxury trailers. First of all, they're taller at a 5'9" center height. Secondly, they have an indoor kitchenette including a sink and stove. Most importantly, the bed is large and comfortable at 70" by 73". Unfortunately, the T@B is a little too tall to fit through the door height of most garages.
A few things that make the T@B very convenient are the 5-gallon water supply tank, the grey water tank and the port-potty. Unlike camping, all dishwashing, face washing and tooth brushing can be done using the sink. No more heading to the public restrooms and trying to figure out how to manage the flashlight while washing. The porta-potty keeps you from having to dress and head to the restroom in the middle of cold nights.
One of the best things we like about the T@B is the ability to camp very comfortably during rainstorms. We've had storms pop up and surprise us where we just go inside and close the door. The tent campers are left scrambling to avoid the wet and cold. We can even cook a meal conveniently inside on the stove.
