Can I Bring Bikes, ATVs, and Extras with a Teardrop Trailer?
Bikes and ATVs and Toys…Oh My!
If you are considering a teardrop camper purchase, you may be under the impression that you are limited in space and are unable to bring additional gear and toys that have been a staple in your family traditions. Surprise! We are here to tell you that it is quite the opposite! With the rising popularity of teardrop trailers and the ease in which people can travel, innovators are coming out with various designs to meet various needs.
You want to bring along your mini-bikes and ATVS? No problem. You can have it all!
While teardrops may represent a simpler way to travel, your favorites can still tag along for the ride. Teardrop campers are a place where you find out what really matters. Each camper has plenty of space for kitchen items in the galley, extra storage or cabinetry options in the cabin, and compartments for necessities like propane and water. So where can we pack the extra gear and toys to enhance our camping experience?
Roof Racks
One of the BEST inventions since sliced bread, if your current teardrop does not already have one, you can have a roof rack attached to your teardrop. The best way to carry your kayaks, paddle boards, and even snowboards. This ensures that you keep extra space in your vehicle and teardrop, as well as keeps the items safe until you need to use them. Roof racks can also store extra odd-shaped gear or large cargo bags to keep your items safe against the elements.
ATV Platforms
Yes! They make teardrop trailers to accommodate sleeping space and your off-road vehicles
Although they come in different designs, such as an open trailer in front of your teardrop or space through the rear hatch, the concept is the same. You get to tow your teardrop and your extras with you. No need to pick and choose which one you are taking this time. Your cargo goes where you go. The drawback is for some teardrop/ATV trailer units, you will need a larger vehicle to tow your cargo due to the extra weight.
A small price to pay to bring along some extra fun for yourself or the family.
Roof Tents
This additional feature allows you to bring extra people! You absolutely love the idea of a teardrop, and your extended family doesn’t have their own camping gear. What better way to accommodate their needs with a roof tent on top of your teardrop. A win-win for everyone!
Cargo Space
The idea of a traditional teardrop includes a galley space in the rear hatch for cooking, meal prep, and storing food. If you don’t need those features as much as you need to bring along your bikes or extra gear, you can always purchase a teardrop camper that leaves that space open for such needs! You can store your bikes, hiking gear, and other miscellaneous camping needs back away from your sleeping space without having to attach to the roof or shove in your vehicle.
Bike Racks
These additional racks sit on each side of your teardrop trailer for hanging bikes without motors. If you enjoy having your mountain bike or cruiser along with you during your travels for convenient rides, these racks will be perfect without sacrificing space in your teardrop or vehicle. Just secure them along the sides and you are ready to roll.
As you can see, there are so many ways to make the most of your “limited” space. You find out what really matters most in the long run, and that is why so many people prefer the tiny traveling over larger travel trailers these days. Your explorations are supposed to leave you with more time to destress and enjoy yourself on new trails. Let the teardrop do that for you with any of the above additions, and you will keep finding time to lose yourself in the natural beauty of this world. Happy travels!
