Travel Trailers - Teardrop reviews

My RV experience started with a used tent trailer with a 10ft box. Never used any of the plumbing per se, even cooked outside. It was nice to get inside though, when the rain started pouring down. The kids went to college and it was just me, so I sold the tent trailer and began looking at Tear Drops. However, at 6'4" tall many TD's would not fit my frame. And then there's that foot box thing-too restrictive. Then I saw some square back designs that were very appealing. Next I happed on a forum where a guy purchased a square back RV called a VRV Flyer. It was unique in design in that the rear galley was replaced with a cargo door. There is also a man door and two windows. The couch inside, which sits parallel to the tongue, becomes either a twin sized bed, or a queen sized bed, raised off the floor of the all aluminum trailer. There is a pullout galley under the couch. In couch mode there is enough room to put a full size dirt bike inside the trailer! You can seat three adults on the couch. Room to get inside out of the weather if needed. Torsion bar suspension, so ground clearance is improved. It has a reversible fan in the roof with a rain sensor. It's also well insulated. The whole kit and kaboodle weighs 1,000 lbs. Also has brakes. This trailer is truly plug and play. The only reason I gave a 4 star rating for livability on this little RV is for that very reason, it's is small. Long term use would require some adjustments. And the 4 stars for Factory Warranty/Support-It's my understanding that VRV Flyers are no longer manufactured. However, you can still find them for sale. Show less

I drove all the way from San Antonio to Corpus Christi. The Romo was shoddy at best. It had loose covers in the shower. It was missing a light and the cover plate for the electronics on the outside was missing. Evidently, they were trying to pawn off on me a cannibalized unit. The seller said essentially they had to fix them when they arrived from the factory--not a selling point! The unit looked like it was actually used to me. There were different colored caulk on the ceilings and walls. They were trying to sell it for the new price. If I were you, I would avoid the company altogether. Show less

We purchased 2 of the Modern Buggy Little Buggy models in September 2022. At first glance these little guys are pretty cool looking, but that is where it ends. These little buggies have some serious flaws which the owner of Modern Buggy have acknowledged and even went as far to send us several faulty replacement parts to resolve some of the concerns. Down side is we spend after taxes roughly 40k on these 2 units and are being told here you go, here are some parts now go fix it yourself. Since our first initial conversation with Modern Buggy we identified the solar panels on each buggy not charging. Again reached out to Modern Buggy answer told to take it up with Camping World. I understand this is a really small company trying to produce a fun adventures unit, but we have owned them for going on 3 months now and have not been able to rent them out to our customers due to some of the safety and quality concerns. The most recent issue is the back hatch that opens up on one of the units is now leaking inside. We are continuing to try and work with the manufacturer, but feel all these issues we are experiencing with 2 new travel trailers is unacceptable and needs to be addressed. Show less

While we liked the ground clearance, we hit out heads on everything, the trailer beebs incessantly for almost anything. Half the time we cannot firgure out what is causing the beeping so disconnect the battery. I really do not need Ai on a camping trip. The fire escape window flew off and hit a truck behind us, luckily they did not get damaged. This window is POORLY designed. Very difficult and expensive to replace... took a week to even hear back from the dealer. I really also do not understand why an owners manual was not provided that was any good. We have watched online videos over and over trying to troubleshoot the problems. Wish we had not purchased it. Show less

Do not buy this at all. Went to the dealership and fan and table in not working order. I demanded that to be fixed. We went camping with this and the electrical system was a mess. Thank goodness my husband took it apart. They did not even put the electrical plug in the water heater for electric. Damn can't you guys figure out how to put in a plug in a socket. These guys did nothing for inspection. We had to use propane because nothing was hooked up. It is a piece of junk and falls apart. They use staples and crappy stuff for the inside. You pay for what you get. If you purchase this trailer be a handy man all of this trailer is junk. Bushwacker you should be so ashamed of yourself Show less

This manufacturer and model is the ultimate in quality and versatility in a small camper. It has everything you need in a small enough package that you don’t get the drawbacks of a larger camper, like weight, height of the camper, ease of backing in, mileage penalty etc. We have taken this small rig on two 1500 trips of 3 weeks plus and never wanted anything more. For short stops, we leave it attached and do not really even set up the campsite. For longer periods we put up the attached tent to add a LR and unhook the vehicle. We get lots of comments at gas stations, toll booths, restaurants etc. Show less

BEWARE_ My wife and I have had several popups and larger RV's over the years but we wanted a new easy towing smaller unit this time mainly for weekends etc. This one is easy to tow but that's where the fun ends! So we purchased a brand new Braxton Creek Freesolo DIN and failed to check reviews first (Bad mistake) The majority Reviews I have since found are not good. Cheap materials, not insulated well, water from air-conditioner etc We camped in ours only one night only after our purchase. Water poured in from the side mounted air-conditioner onto the counters and thru the stove eyes, It cannot be setting level, it must lean a little toward the air-conditioner side so the water can drain out. We also had water in the floor of the storage compartment. The roof already shows signs of small water leaks. I took it back to the dealer and wanted my money back but they were ugly about it. So right now they are checking it out supposedly. I'm checking with a lawyer to see if I have any options. I would never recommend this RV to anyone. We will be paying for this mistake for a while unless I can get rid of it. Show less

So great to have all of the luxuries of home in a lightweight yet solid, easy-to-tow RV. Very comfortable in wind, rain, or sunshine (I haven't tried snow). Having an indoor kitchen is great for rainy, cool afternoons or evenings, and the double pane windows keep the temperature consistent. The craftsmanship exceed any other unit I researched. Aerodynamic and lots of 'cool factor' details. Show less

This is an update to previous review of camper purchased in December 2021. In the previous review I stated the issues encountered with the poor quality of build. I was pending a service appointment for repair of 6 different issues including leakage damage that would require the removal of all kitchen cabinets due to water damage. The result of the service inspection was that the dealer stated that they do not have the capability to repair the camper. The manufacturer does not actually have any plan for major repairs of this type and has been less than helpful. The Braxton Creek warranty is apparently useless. On their website say "We believe in treating people the way we would want to be treated." Obviously they say one thing and do another. They refuse to speak directly to the customers and do not negotiate in good faith with their dealers Show less
