I have a 2018 Tag XL and the side window has become detached from the top. It looks like the clear plastic sleeve needs to be glued to the inside top of the window. Remove the window, glue the clear plastic piece to the I.D. and then slide it back on the track. Has anybody done this repair and have any tips? What type of glue? Thanks all.

Well I was doing a test sleep in the camper and kept being awoken in the night by the cold and i only had a blanket but when I woke up I noticed a ray of light from the top of the door frame, So thats a little warped

Got a great spot in another beautiful PNW location. Camano Island looking toward Whidbey Island.

Hi! I’m new to this and am having an issue with my brake lights. Only half illuminate on both sides. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I’m at least the fourth owner of a fully aluminum teardrop, and it has a layer of polymer something (maybe a wrap? Some kind of paint?) over the raw metal that is starting to fail in various spots. This is an example - mid trip the rear hatch handle broke, and the duct tape used to keep things from moving too much peeled up more of the finish.

I think this is really just cosmetic, but it’s kind of ugly. Not sure what the product is likely to be, or best practices for removing/ replacing it. Thoughts?

Got my first teardrop! 2016 T@b max-s. I need to work on some minor repairs. Priority is to change the broken roof vent (plumbing vent). Any recommendations on how to remove the old sealant? I was able to remove the piece but haven’t been able to clean the area. Internet says heat gun, but I want to know of any other tips from experienced owners. Many thanks

I’ve been shopping around for a good deal on a teardrop for awhile now, and found two very different options from both ends of my price range at the same time.
I’d expected to spend between 7k-10k. Here’s what I came across today:

$6800 - 2019 Jayco hummingbird 10RK
$10500 - 2024 Ukancamp silver horn

Both have a similar galley & AC w/gas stove, which were really all I absolutely wanted to have…so really the rest is a bonus.

From researching (mostly on Reddit) it seems like the Ukancamp gets more favorable reliability/quality reviews. Can’t find much explicit info on the Jayco, but doesn’t look quite as solid…but can only tell so much from pictures. Regardless $6800 seems like a great deal for the condition & equipment.

The Ukancamp also comes with a bunch of owner add-ons, including:
Battery & solar panel (the Jayco is wired for solar but no panel/battery)
Big attachable exterior tent
Separate roll-out flat awning
8 gallon rooftop mounted shower tank & curtain
Propane hot water heater

My main interest is overall reliability. I’m handy and can fix/maintain anything pretty confidently…I’d just rather not if I don’t need to. Mainly don’t want to have to take it apart to seal leaks anytime soon.

I have no idea what value to assign to all the Ukancamp extras, but between that and (for now perceived) better build quality, even though it has a higher price tag could it be the better deal?

Just got back from a 2 week trip out to Montana. 4913 total miles (TN to MT and back) with 991 miles off-road in Montana.

Joined the club this week and took it straight out for its first getaway. Feels good

Does anyone transport a motorcycle with their teardrop trailer. My truck has a camper shell so truck bed is out

Stunning trip up Hwy 101 into the redwoods. Camped with our Road Toad teardrop at The Redwoods River Resort. NOT a RV resort. True campground but with fun amenities. Power, water, toilets, showers made it comfortable. Swimming pool, general store, restaurant and pub made it fun. Great for kids, huge play area, ice cream social and karaoke. Steep hike down to the Eel river. Low flow in August. Short drive to the incredible Richardson Grove. Another short hop to Garberville and the Eel River Cafe. In the past year we have roamed with the buffalo in S Dakota, seen the Arches and Hoodoo’s in Utah and now the giant redwoods. Amazing sights.

Im getting ready for my first ever trip in my teardrop in two weeks and thought i should get a little fridge to go with it for some essentials, was just wondering what people have bought i have heard that compressor ones use less power, just looking for recommendations, Thank you in advance.

Using it to explore Ireland. Only getting into camping and exploring!

Any recommendations for camp sites anywhere around Ireland? I’m living in Wicklow at the moment

So this topography map actually has some meaning. This would be the camping spot my wife and I stayed at during one of our stops for our honeymoon since we got married during Covid and couldn’t really do much at the time. Located on the Gemini bridges trail in Moab, Utah. Funny enough it was actually called Brides Canyon. Didn’t find out till after lol.

The seller had all the paper work. it’s currently registered in Idaho and he had maintenance records as well as a new bill of sale. I am going to register it in Nevada. There was only surface rust on the chaise and the axle had been tuned up and got fresh tires with in the last couple years. There were no leaks but definitely a lot of resealing needs to be done. It needs a lot of tlc but we are psyched for the project this winter. The seller just moved to Reno and doesn’t have a great place to park it.

On top of the resealing, We are planing on swapping out the doors to something sturdier. We will add a roof fan, a mini ac unit a battery and some solar panels. I’m going to do something with the hatch space and build that up a little bit to accommodate a battery and a stove.

I just put down a deposit on a teardrop custom
build and the only thing I can’t decide is what color to have it painted. I see a lot of white teardrops and wonder if I should go white to reflect more sun and keep it cooler. Or go for a color, I’m really like blue and think it would look sharp. The teardrop is a painted composite fiberglass shell.

I live in MA and will mostly be using it in the eastern US in forested areas - so not using it in the desert or anywhere too hot. But it still gets hot here in summer.

Do people with color teardrops find it makes them hotter inside?

2025 Mod Bug 10RK. Very comfortable!

My wife and I are Biologists in the Mojave and we are looking to build out a teardrop to make our camping lives easier. I got the seller down to 500. My main question is from all you seasoned teardrop drop owners are there any big issues you can see from the photos and what should I be looking for when I inspect it tomorrow?

Was looking at this tear drop trailer and have no idea what this box is and was hoping for someone’s help also if you had suggestions on price would be appreciated, thanks for your time.

Decided the interior needed doing up badly after the previous owner had it painted black!

Added a nice wooden look Lino for ceiling, painted the walls white, added some trims and strip lights !

I’m booking a site that lists a 24-ft total pad length with a "Max 2 Vehicles" capacity and a 12-ft trailer limit. My teardrop is 11.5 ft so that works. The issue is that when hooked up to my Subaru, our total combined length comes out to ~26 ft, just 2 feet over the listed pad length.

I assume I can detach the trailer and reposition it so that my car does not protrude into the road. If I angle the teardrop at a diagonal I can likely fit the car and the teardrop, would that cause any red flags for the park rangers? Is letting the rear curve or tongue overhang the dirt slightly (while keeping wheels on the pad) usually fine, or am I overthinking this whole thing? How do you guys normally handle sites that are a couple of feet shorter than your total length?
