It looks so small, and I'm kind of claustrophobic!

The Camp-Inn is actually bigger than it appears. The cabin holds a queen size bed and has 3 1/2 feet of head room.
Someone 6'5" tall can sit on the bed and still have plenty of headroom. It is similar in size to the inside of a mid size car. (without the seats)

What about heater or air conditioner?

HEATER: We have found that a Camp-Inn teardrop doesn't require a heater unless the temperature is very cold. They are insulated and weather tight, so usually body heat is enough to make it comfortable within a short time. In cold weather, bring along an extra blanket and you will be surprised how warm you stay.
In most cases, a small DC heater is more than enough to take the chill out of the air. If you camp at campgrounds with hook-ups you could bring along an electric heater or even an electric blanket.

That said, we have designed a heater option for those who do cold weather camping and want to make sure they have a warm, dry place to sleep. Go to the Options page for more information on this option.

AIR CONDITIONING: A teardrop, tent or automobile sitting in the sun will get hot inside. Since you usually won't be sleeping when the sun is out, the main issue is hot nights. With both side windows open, you get cross ventilation. With the sunroof option, you get even better ventilation.

If you decide you still want AC, we have designed the air conditioner option. Go to our Options page to view pictures of this option.

The air conditioner is mounted inside a drain pan that has a drain pipe plumbed through the cabin and out the bottom of the trailer. This allows any condensation to drain safely out of the trailer. This drain pan also drains out any rain water or wash water that gets into the external air conditioner vent area.

Can I get it with a shower or toilet?

Yes and No.
We do offer a portable shower that you can use at your campsite. Please call us for details.

There is only so much room to fit it all in and the toilet is one thing we had to leave out. Also, we decided to leave it out since most campsites have some type of toilet. Camper toilets are a smelly nuisance at the best of times, and worse if not maintained and serviced properly. You can take a Port-a-potty with you, if necessary. Consider our Side Tent Option for a private place for the port-a-potty.

Can I get a built in fridge -OR- Are those coolers under the counter?

We are often asked these two questions and they are so similar that I will answer them together.
No, those aren't coolers under the counter. We decided to not build in a cooler or fridge for several reasons;
First, it would take up valuable storage space. If the cooler was built in, you would lose that space for other items such as pots, pans, or food. By using a portable cooler hauled on the countertop, the cooler can be moved to make more counter space. The same area serves double duty.
Second, built in coolers are hard to clean. A portable cooler can be taken out, dumped upside down and hosed out if necessary.
Third, Portable coolers are... well... Portable! If you want, you can take them in the car for a day trip, or into a park for a picnic.

Can I use a DC cooler?

We offer a DC Refrigerator/Freezer. It can run off DC or AC power. When using our fridge or other DC coolers consider the following:

DC Fridges draw alot of current and will drain your battery quickly. Since most of these coolers use 0ver 7 amps, even if you have a larger battery (72 Ah) it will only run for 8-10 hours on a charge.

Most DC coolers have an AC adapter, so, If you have the AC/DC option and are at a campsite with hookups, you can run your cooler on the AC outlet. During travel, you can run the cooler in your tow vehicle -or- if you have the tow vehicle charging option, you can run the cooler in the teardrop kitchen.

Our cooler area is sized to fit several of the more popular DC cooler/fridges.
