Duane was great to work with although the trailer wasn’t delivered until about 7 PM and he couldn’t pick it up until hours after we left, he was great to work with made everything easy and the trailer was great. I thoroughly enjoyed and will rent from Duane again!

Trailer: The trailer was fine. It served its purpose. We got lots of compliments on the looks of it. It was just the right size for me and my 6' partner. The mattress was ok, but typical for camping. The supplies that were provided also worked but were just ok. The lifts that held open the back broke on the second to last day and that was frustrating to deal with.

Trailer was great. We brought our own bedding and dishes since i never want to risk something missing. Weather was 104f where we camped (Bend,OR). Loved both doors had windows and ceiling fan to draft. Fan was a little noisy so we had to turn off but it helped draw the hot air. Easy trailer to pull with our SUV. Came equipped with hose, extension cord, coleman stove etc. Everything worked. Nice kitchen area. We didn’t use the kitchen tent since too hot.
On pickup We had a issue with wiring harness since a new one installed that didn’t work. Duane put the old one back on and we were on our way. I would rent again. Great for 2 people and our little dog loved it. Mattress comfy but next time i would bring our thin blow up hiking mattresses for just a little more hip padding; since i am a side sleeper.

We arrived, and the person meeting us (not Duane) asked if we were going anywhere that would be raining, as the trailer had caulking issues and would leak. Then he said that he did not have keys. He went to find keys while we hooked up the trailer. We discovered that the wiring harness was too short for our 4Runner. Went to Harbor Freight to buy an extender. We returned and once the wires were hooked up, the brake lights/turn signals would not work. The gentleman hooked up to his vehicle also, still not working. Called Duane, and he said that it had to be both of our vehicles that didn't work, not the trailer. We left without the trailer, and asked Duane to cancel our trip. Luckily we had originally planned to tent camp, so our trip was not a complete disaster.

The owner, Duane, was not there to greet us when we arrived to pickup the trailer. The trailer was not ready for pickup. The stove, comforter, sheets, kitchen supplies were not with the trailer. The owner’s father assisted us. He didn’t seem to know that his son had not prepared the trailer for us, but he did assist us as best he could. That said, as nice as he was, he did not wear a mask or social distance and even said he wasn’t concerned with COVID-19. All of this left us with a very bad first impression. As for the trailer itself, it is pretty sweet. We had a very good time using it on our vacation. However, the stargazing window was without a curtain and the passenger side window had a curtain hanging on a broken rod and was very delicate to close or open. It was obvious that a number of parts used for the trailer were not quality. However, the overall feel was pleasing, as long as you have a very gentle touch. In addition, it is a VERY small trailer. It would not work for people over say 6”. Nice trailer for a quick trip to the Oregon coast, but not much beyond that. And, if you have concerns about the pandemic, be wary, as the owner and his father do not.

The trailer was not ready when we arrived. Many of the items that were supposed to be with the teardrop had to be gathered from the house and brought to the trailer. This was all done by the owner’s dad, as the owner was not there to greet us. Most concerning was that the dad was not wearing a mask, was not social distancing, and even made a statement that he was not concerned about COVID-19. When we dropped the trailer off at the end of our rental, the owner showed the same disdain for COVID-19 considerations. All of this was VERY concerning. As for the trailer, it is pretty sweet. I can’t imagine that it would work for anyone over say 6 feet, as it is very small, but being just 5’6

The teardrop trailer is darling and very practical for a fun camp trip. Very light and hauled easily behind our suv. Duane was very thorough in orientation and responsive with any questions or needs. It was our first time towing so I had some basic questions and he took time to explain and ensure we were comfortable!

Duane and his teardrop are wonderful. He was great to communicate with and very accommodating. The teardrop is comfortable and fully stocked making for a fantastic experience.

Trailer towed great and was of very good quality in excellent condition. Pick up was a little clumsy with scheduling but communication was good so got it done. Came with some basic camp kitchen gear which was nice. And its super cute, loved it.

We pulled this wonderful little trailer to the coast and had a great week with our kitchen and bedroom and electricity and running water and comfy bed. Duane was great in responding to our concerns. Quite Understanding. Thanks for the use of “a terrific tiny home “ in nature.
