  • I had the pleasure of catching up with Mark the owner of a Vistabule teardrop trailer, while he was on his way to the Minnesota teardrop company to get some changes made for his Vistabule trailer. Mark is a big guy with an even bigger hart. He is humble, and loves to laugh...at almost everything. Come with me a take a tour of his teardrop trailer and see what it's like living in the Vistabule full time as he tours the USA this summer visiting old friends, new friends and family. Get ready to discover life in a teardrop trailer. I'm glad our paths have crossed my friend....GODSPEED!

    Your supposed to Cris Cross your trailer safety chains so in your hitch or ball malfunctions, the trailer tongue won't nose dive into the road. Some State patrol officers will fine you for improper and unsafe towing. Just food for thought.

    Nice little "things"! Are they affordable or do you need three jobs and a lifetime to save up for one? Also can you use the kitchen from the loungearea or is that window just for dishes?

    • @johnnybattlelife
      @johnnybattlelife  4 года назад

      The kitchen is outside. Yes the window is just a pass through. I don’t know how to answer affordable. it’s relative to your income level

    • @harrymills2770
      @harrymills2770 2 года назад

      I think hitting an affordable price point is part of their business model. And they've been at it a good while, incorporating better features and refinements. It's probably a good value. I think you might be surprised at how low the prices are.
      You might also be surprised at how competitively-priced a low-end off-road teardrop is, and how you just don't worry about frail hardware breaking on you. But the Vistabule people have been at it for a long time, and they have a pretty good production process that's refined for every production run.

    so mark since you are a big guy you have any problems with getting in and out of the teardrop? And are you carrying the same amount of stuff in the SUV? I am a more minimalist lifestyle but I came from tent camping and bicycle touring where weight is your enemy. And i just want to get out of the tent and not worry about rain. I got a Montana minivan I will be pulling my camper with.

    Honestly, these Vistbules arent worth $20,000-$30,000. For only $17,000 you can get something a little bigger that you can stand up, walk around, have a bathroom, shower, stove, queen size bed, fridge, etc., for even lower prices.

    • @ajf5823

      A lot depends on what your tow vehicle can pull. Also, pulling a big trailer around is a pain. I sold my bigger trailer with all the "stuff" and kept my 4x8 teardrop because it's so much easier to pull and deal with. Also, a lot of the bigger, cheap trailers are just problems waiting to happen. Sometimes less is more.
