DROPLET – Why So Simple?

Our Top 5 Teardrop Travel Trailer Accessories

From Jockey wheels to the stove to the pots and pans, there are so many trailer accessories and equipment that you need to keep track of that it can sometimes be a struggle checking them all! So, only taking equipment that will be beneficial to your trip is important, especially if you are just considering a teardrop/travel trailer for the first time.

What is really essential? What will ultimately bring you happiness, peace of mind, and the flexibility you truly seek? And, most importantly, what accessories do you legally need to have? While the trailer will obviously come with brake lights, have you checked they’re compatible with your car? Are there other lights you need to add? If so, take a look at Truck Electrics for the right trailer lights. Do you need to make sure you have a fire extinguisher in your teardrop? Have you got a hitch on the back of your car? The list goes on.

At DROPLET, we believe in the power of versatility, without requiring a thousand extra accessories. That’s why our DROPLET already comes pre-equipped with basic comfort accessories such as LED touch lights inside and outside (kitchen area), a furnished kitchen area, lateral window vents, and a super large roof vent to keep a healthy airflow inside. For those desiring a bit more comfort and independence, here are our top 5 travel trailer accessories recommendations. Because traveling should remain more important than gear, after all.

Why Droplet is our favorite all-weather camping option

Dear fellow camper, before we jump into this post, let us begin with a few personal questions.

  • How many times have you (or your partner) cursed the weather for going South during a multi-day camping trip?
  • Did you ever abort a supposed dream camping adventure, because the entirety of your clothes and gear got soaked inside your tent (or tent trailer) during a storm?
  • Have you ever looked at those beautiful, shiny trailer campers parked next to you at the campsite, secretly wishing your small car could tow it, so it was you who got to afford sleeping inside it, as you silently pack up your drenched gear?

A (seemingly) tiny camper built for tall people

When seeing a Droplet trailer for the first time, few would imagine the inside to be very voluminous. Fewer would even think that it hides a perfectly sheltered kitchen space too. Yet, don’t be fooled by the first outside impression. The indoor space comfortably fits a plushy queen-sized mattress, and it is spacious enough for two, even if you are a taller person than average like its designer, Pascal Pillon (6ft4″).

Vancouver Island Road Trip – Nanaimo -> Nanoose Bay -> Bowser -> Victoria

DROPLET TRAILERS hit the road on April 13th to Vancouver Island, in order to check the local RV Show in Nanoose Bay & meet with prospective early adopters. Over 3 days, we traveled through 500+Km of scenic coastal drives and rain forest. Through those miles, we averaged 9L/100Km with our Toyota Matrix.  This place is a true Camper paradise. Dense forests, wild beaches, low population density, cheaper gas than the Lower mainland, and an array of charming coffee shops & antiques to visit. One known issue: it tends to rain frequently, and the coast gets a lot of wind. Where does one stay in order to maximize the camping fun, without getting soaked to the bone? Luckily, DROPLET is a well-insulated all-weatherproof travel pod. A true luxury for camping on the West Coast.
