Thank you so much for the great great and thorough review. I am probably getting a teardrop within the next 4 months. So sorry to hear of your loss. I cannot imagine such pain. I myself had a dark period recently (a few years ago) of years of my son's drug addiction and related incarceration, am not at all trying to compare the two, just to say that, my hope for my purchase is that it helps me continue to recover from mine. Your review gives me great hope that it will, as well as absolutely caused me to settle on this same model (I originally was looking at the Bushwhackers, but to me the lower cost is just not worth the much poorer quality that they have). Will watch your other videos and subscribe. Thanks again.
Bless you and thank you, we love getting messages like this. I am certain the teardrop will and getting out there will help you. I do think the bushwackers are ok but likely less quality and you may encounter more issues. We have not released an updated review yet but we are well into our 3rd year now on the T@G and still completely satisfied. Feel free to reach out to us on our Facebook page or Instagram, maybe one day we can cross paths in travels.
@@Live2dayWanderland thank you very much, would love that, will definitely let you know when i get one. I have lived in Texas for decades, and there is far too much of the state (as well as others) I have not seen.
Thank you for the interesting comment and information. I also will be looking at getting teardrop similar and my sincere condolences for your loss. My thoughts are coming to you from Western Australia Perth .Health & Happiness cheers JB
Thank you for this review! I’m a Jeep gal, so have listened to some of the hard core off roaders dismiss Nucamp . . . You are absolutely right. . . Strong company and well built + availability!
Oh our pleasure!!! As you can see in some of our videos we have taken it everywhere, just go a little slower than maybe some of the more hardcore "off road" teardrops. We LOVE Montana!! it was our favorite state to visit on our recent trip out west. Glad we could help you!!!
Thanks - great job! I love how you did this just like I was there. NO rushing around, just a nice conversation about what you love doing. I will enjoy watching your channel.
We got 20 mpg towing our home build, both with a GMC SUV and a FORD F150 over 6 years. Moving up to the 22 foot trailer at the end of last year MPG dropped to 10 - 12 just as gas prices doubled. Tear drops have a lot going for them. We never needed A/C, our Fantastic Fan worked beautifully off a battery. Only had one weekend that was unbearable in all those years thanks to the insulation factor hubby used.
I just bought me one and I actually am going in the morning to pick it up and then get it ready in next 2 to 3 weeks and I’m heading out for a couple weeks. So will see how it does. One of two things. I will love it or I will hate it. I’ll see.
We also have a teardrop camper. It's even smaller than the one you got but yes, it's nice to keep the camper stocked so it's easy to take off on trips. We bought a Rustic Trail Teardrop camper and you're right that we had to wait a year before we were able to pick it up. I don't think there's a wait anymore, though. Those Nucamp campers do look like nice quality. Yes, having the fan going, even on low, makes such a difference. We also like to keep our windows cracked so that we won't have issues with condensation. Nice camper tour. Subbed so we can watch more of your adventures.
if you search on the Facebook groups (nucamp or T@G, search "airplane mod" you have to make it yourself. I can send you some links if you message me on email or through our Instagram or facebook pages. Thank you so much for the kind words
Thanks so much, we went through the same thing. Feel free to message us over on IG or the FB page if you need any help or have extra questions. I can honestly say after 2yrs+ and everywhere we have gone, we would definitely do it all over again. Teardrop life is so amazing
@@Live2dayWanderland yes I think I will because at 63 I still love to go camping and before I hated all the packing up and then unpacking and with this I will have everything all ready to go and all I have to pack is food and clothes. Plus I have a 2020 Subaru Outback and I did not want to buy another vehicle just to go camping.
@@MyTentLifeyes that is what is so good, we roll it into the garage and just reload the stuff we need on a specific trip but all the basics already stay in the tag ready to go. Super easy to hook up and hit the road.
Great review! I just bought a 2020, same model, a few weeks ago. One trip so far - love it. It's actually a camper for my OTHER camper; I live FT in a 32 ft. Fleetwood Bounder that I renovated end of 2016. I love it, but not for quick getaways, as you mention. My T@G is the answer!
That's awesome, not a bad idea either. We may have to consider that in the future if we get a bigger camper. I love how fast you can get away and the ability to go anywhere with it . Thanks for watching 🙏
Thank you, yeah that is one of the more challenging things with teardrop life. A good awning or side tent really makes life easier. Thanks for stopping by, we also did an updated 4yr review several months ago. Everything has been great
We checked-out a new XL today. A couple of observations. The fenders were super light weight and already bent with cracks at the turns. This would be caused by too much weight being put on them, even on the showroom. (Crazy!) The floor of the galley slopes back into the trailer so any rain or spills that happen in that area will move forward to drain toward the cooler area and could pool and do damage if undetected. That would need some added care. Also noted that the A/C exhausts/vents out through the bottom of the unit. That leaves me wondering if that is some kind ingress for water if driving in heavy rain. These observations aside, we really liked the teardrop. Would be interested to know your thoughts on the comments. Thanks!
So yes the fenders are not made for any sort of weight on them, they have built in creases, not sure its actually a crack, just lets the metal flex a little. We do stack stuff on them at camp and no issues, you cannot stand on them though. Yes the galley floor does slope back but we have never had issues with water or liquids pooling etc. Rain does not get in there when closed. Yes the A/C does exhaust on bottom. Never had an issue with ours, we have driven it through everything possible as you know we are camping year round now and just finished another 5000 mile trip. I can say one thing, all I see is people with significant issues with big RV's of all brands even brand new. It has made me rethink ever going to another company or bigger one. If we ever did upgrade it would likely be with Nucamp. They really do build quality stuff. Check out the Nucamp FB groups if you get a chance, lots of satisfied owners
@@Live2dayWanderland Many thanks. The teardrop is another good case for “less is more”. No doubt. A completely different experience to the bigger RVs. I’ll see you on the road.
Great vid. hit all the high notes, and I agree with you on all of them. We're taking our Boreas XT out for its maiden voyage this weekend to Kohler State Park, WI., Shake down for its next trip to SD in July. Can't wait to hit the road later!!
Thanks man for the support, weather is finally getting there, going to be a great summer. We have to start hitting the state parks after we do all the state forest campgrounds in the NHAL. Wisconsin is just the best. Have an awesome weekend, safe travels
we love it, almost 3yrs now, who knows we might stay with it for a long time, its so much easier to tow and get places with it. Thank you for watching!! Happy New Year
Would be great to hear your thoughts on the renogy. Our camper has a 100w panel on its roof, but thinking about adding a renogy 200w also that I can move around
Oh good timing lol I'm making a little review this weekend of our off grid power solutions. I would recommend it. I will see if I can get that video done and out early next week
Not sure about that, I feel like there are some good used ones that can be had for much less. I would buy it at 20-22k which was MSRP back then. It's a tough market right now, however the build quality is great. We are coming up on 3yrs ownership and have put on a ton of miles and nights in it. We just did a 4600 mile trip out west in August. Appreciate you taking the time to watch
Our pleasure!!! thank you, we plan on doing another video sometime soon, approaching 4yrs of ownership and put about 100k miles on it and still loving it, no real issues
You have to be plugged into electric or have a generator or massive lithium battery. We usually get by without AC or heat in most cases but like now we will go to some electric campsites
Please let people know that they have to turn their fire extinguisher upside down, and shake it so the powder doesn’t pack in the bottom. This should be done every 6 months. If you don’t do this I pray you never need it because after a couple of years it will not work when you need it the most! Love your channel.😀🇨🇦🍁🎃
We still have the battery that came with the camper but we do have a portable lithium power station which we could plug into if it was an emergency, also have solar panels
I live in Utah. Any of the straight axle leaf spring or torsion units are not good if you go out dirt roads anywhere in the Rocky Mountains or southern Utah. Don't buy any travel trailer that does not have independent suspicion unless you are going to stay on paved roads or very smooth dirt. Don't get focused on how cute the trailer is. Durability, a quality suspension is the only issue that is important.
I would agree with you depends heavily on where you live and how often you are out on the dirt. We've done our fair share and been ok but its certainly not every week.
My experience is with their 2021 Cirrus 620 Trk Camper. Well built but poor design and customer service. They are trying to build too many styles and loosing touch w/ users.
We just did our updated review!!! 4yrs and now over 110k miles on the Teardrop! ua-cam.com/video/qtAH1RdHCQU/v-deo.htmlsi=kzkWD3gZRJALiKZ7

Thanks for your video. Your reasons for wanting something small align with mine, and the T@g keeps coming up at the top of the list.
It's a great little camper, I need to do an updated video. We are a little over 3 years in now and it's still going strong, no issues

Wisconsin,I'm surprised you didn't buy a Camp Inn Trailer. I bought one new in 2018, great trailer.
We do love those, probably the only other one we would have gotten
TCTeardrops is another WI. manufacturer that makes nice campers.
@@surfandstreamfisher5749 yeah Todd and company at TC are awesome, I mentioned them in our updated review.
I also plan on using mine 2 or 3 times a month. I work on weeks since I retired so Monday thru Friday I can do local camping.
You will be pleased with it I am sure, after almost 4yrs we still love ours

How does this teardrop hold up in the rain? Have you had any worries or issues with water damage? Love the video!
It does great, no issues at all and we just did an updated 4yr video review. Thanks so much for stopping by
Why would you need a microwave when camping? Omg! Waste of space.
It definitely is, I think we've used it once in 2yrs
(They use LESS energy, when using an electrical device makes sense…). (I DON’T mean to be confrontation…). 😃👠
I’m 65 and I’m looking at what your in ❤😂
we love it, almost 3yrs now, who knows we might stay with it for a long time, its so much easier to tow and get places with it. Thank you for watching!! Happy New Year

Get a sheet curtain at the thrift n use it for screen! OR buy one of those screens that splits down the center n comes together with magnets! OR ?!
That is a good idea, we have seen some others do that,. Thank you
You conclude by saying you would buy it again. Would you buy it at todays prices of $26,000 or more than $10,000 you paid?
Not sure about that, I feel like there are some good used ones that can be had for much less. I would buy it at 20-22k which was MSRP back then.

Nice review 👍 I couldn’t tell if your spare tire is a China bomb but don’t forget to replace it also!
Yeah actually that's a great reminder cause it still is a bomber 😂 thanks for the support, see you guys next week!!!
When in summer have wind breakers around the door to change and even wash or bucket shower,.
I'm in England do you call them windbreakers?
windbreakers here are like light jackets, I think you are talking about something else? Do you have a link to it? Sounds interesting
Wind breakers are for the beach here privacy and stops the wind.
Google it

We tow ours with our 2011 Toyota Tacoma with no problems.
Nice, that is great to hear. I've seen people towing them with mini coopers lol great little campers
Great info ,thanks
Our pleasure!!! thank you, we plan on doing another video sometime soon, approaching 4yrs of ownership and put about 100k miles on it and still loving it, no real issues
Just curious what you do with your shoes, just bought a 2017 boondock XL and getting ready for the year, thanks
She puts hers in the cabinet next to tv. I usually just leave them up under the door area or on the fender guard
Is the same problem I have with my husband
I was thinking of a pop up. I'm 67 and want to retire camping.
How do you run your A/C and heat if you can’t run it off the solar?
You have to be plugged into electric or have a generator or massive lithium battery. We usually get by without AC or heat in most cases but like now we will go to some electric campsites
Lock, stock and ready to rock doc!! J & C
Is the galley a bit of a reach? Especially for shorter people.
I know some that use a step stool . We are about 5'9 and 5'11. Sorry for the delay, I missed this comment

That was supposed to say " sheer curtain" Not sheet curtain!! Damn Auto correct!
My experience is with their 2021 Cirrus 620 Trk Camper. Well built but poor design and customer service. They are trying to build too many styles and loosing touch w/ users.
No noway Worth it Too Small.
We like it small so we can get to places that regular RV's can't. It's not for everyone though
