Whether it's the stress and frustration of packing and unpacking, coping with inclement weather, or not being able to eat or sleep properly to fuel your daytime adventures, tent camping and car camping leave so much to be desired.
Here are our four biggest problems with camping and how a High Camp teardrop camper can solve them!
(#1) Packing is the pits.
We've all excitedly planned a quick weekend camping getaway, only to be overwhelmed locating all the dirty camping gear that was stuffed haphazardly in plastic bins from the last camping trip and then restocking, reorganizing, and repacking it all in the hopes you remember everything.
However, with a well-equipped teardrop camper in your driveway, you can bid farewell to packing lists, disorganized plastic containers, and mystery stuff sacks. No more "borrowing" can openers, utensils, and USB charging adaptors from your house each time you go camping. No more making dozens of trips out to the car to load and unload gear. We've all done it so many times this way that we just don’t go camping very often. It's no wonder "Staycations" have become increasingly popular.
(#2) Camp setup is exhausting.
So you finally hit the road for that quick weekend getaway after hours of packing and loading (and last-minute stops at the hardware and grocery stores for propane bottles and ice).
Arriving at the campsite in the waning hours of daylight, you now face unloading all the gear, setting up the tent, inflating mattress pads, and tossing in sleeping bags, pillows, lights, books, and extra clothes.
With everyone tired and hungry, you’ve got to get the stove hooked up and find all the cokking gear to start dinner. Now haul the cooler out and dig through the melting ice for dinner. Once dinner is cooked and the cooking gear stuck back into the car for the night (because who has the energy to start washing dishes at 9 pm?), you can finally collapse into your tent for some “sleep”.
(#3) Sleeping in a tent sucks.
After a hectic day of packing, driving and setting up camp, all you really want is a good night’s sleep. Problem is that it’s tough to get good sleep on a mattress pad and sleeping bag if there’s a rock/root under your shoulder blade all night, or if it starts raining, or if you have to climb over your partner to pee during the night, or you’re too hot/cold/cramped, or startled awake by wind, animals, or noisey neighbors.
Good sleep in a tent simply doesn’t come easy.
(#4) No refuge from the weather.
Let’s face it - as much as we all like to consider ourselves rugged, well-prepared outdoors people, bad weather, even for a short while, can really ruin a camping trip. Dream camping trips usually don’t include rain, mud, having the chills, or going home early because all your stuff got soaked in a sudden downpour.
Always ready for adventure.
Once you outfit your High Camp teardrop trailer with all the best gear for cooking, sleeping and any activities in between, your camper will become an always-at-the-ready escape pod for weekend getaways or multi-week adventures.
With the explosion of innovative, high-quality camping gear in recent years, discovering the best gear to suit your adventures can be half the fun!
And unlike many small campers, a High Camp trailer’s compact size allows it to fit in a standard garage so that you can keep your camper provisioned with its own gear and ready for an outdoor adventure at a moment’s notice.
Sleep like a Champ!
A High Camp teardrop camper is equipped with a 5” firm foam Queen mattress so you can enjoy a more restful and comfortable sleep. This allows you to wake up refreshed and ready to fully enjoy your camping adventures, rather than with a stiff neck and back.
And teardrop trailers offer an escape from the elements without completely removing us from the nature experience that we all seek. With a secure and weatherproof structure, a High Camp teardrop camper is a welcome refuge from inclement weather conditions. Additionally, the enclosed design of the trailer provides protection against creatures like insects, rodents, and other unwanted visitors, ensuring a more secure and peaceful camping experience.
Expand your living space.
Teardrop campers offer the option to expand your living space with extensions like awnings, privacy rooms, and rooftop tents. Awnings create covered outdoor spaces to escape the weather, and attaching a privacy room to the awning offers an enclosed area for dressing or waiting out a rain storm, and finally, roof top tents provide additional sleeping options for kids.
The ability to expand makes this small teardrop camper a real Swiss Army knife (minus the spork!).
Cook as well as you do at home.
The High Camp galley kitchen is primed for gourmet cooking on the go. The centerpiece of the galley kitchen is the slide-out three-burner stove with cast iron grates and 7,500 btu sealed burners. For cold storage, there is a spacious 40-quart electric refrigerator powered by the onboard deep cycle battery. Finally, a beautiful bamboo stove cover doubles as a prep table and cutting board, while spacious cabinets keep things close at hand and organized.
Camp meals can finally be as uncompromising and delicious as at home.
Power for all your needs.
A High Camp teardrop camper features an onboard electrical system that provides power for all needs. You can select a battery capacity to match your camping style, whether you are a weekend warrior or a multi-week boondocker looking for self-sufficient solitude.
Our power center supplies interior and exterior lights, runs the Maxxair roof fan, galley refrigerator, and charges your electronic devices, including flashlights, phones, GPS units, laptops, and even CPAP machines.
Charging ports are found in the cabin and galley kitchen, and there are even external 12-volt hookups on each sidewall for awning lights or other exterior lighting. Finally, the camping trailer comes wired with a charging port for solar panels, meaning you can rest assured that you’ll have the power you need when you need it.
Climate Control (Heat/Fan/AC)
A High Camp teardrop trailer comes equipped with a high-volume Maxxair roof fan to provide a cooling breeze when warm and to provide a fresh air exchange when bedding down for the night. Adding the Propex cabin heater puts instant heat at your fingertips for colder outings. For times (or locations) where air conditioning is needed, our headboard AC ports allow campers to hook up one of the new crop of external or portable air conditioners for cool climate control.
Whether it's a sweltering summer day or a chilly evening, you can adjust the climate inside the trailer to your liking, ensuring a pleasant and enjoyable camping experience throughout the year.
