Research

When we bought our travel trailer a few years ago (Funfinder X 189 FBR) we had looked at a T@B but decided it didn't suit our purposes so were somewhat familiar with the teardrop trailer concept but not on the true form of a teardrop. We were looking to replace a tent and not much else - essentially a bed on wheels.
After looking at tent trailers (or pop-ups as they are also called) we decided that wasn't for us - you still had a lot of setup and plus the disadvantage of a tent - wet setups and takedowns.

A little more research brought us to teardrop trailers. What we found out - there are quite a few types but the search can be frustrating. A lot of websites are listed on various websites with links that are no longer active. It seems a lot of manufacturers come and go or were difficult to contact. We live in Northwest Ontario which compounded our problem. There a few Canadian manufacturers but none close to us. Fortunately for us we live close to the American mid-west and were close enough to take a trip to look at a few.

We decided on three kinds to look at as they were all within a days drive of the
Thunder Bay area. In the case of Little Guy we were going to dealers and the other two were actually the builders.
