Micro Caravans,
Teardrop Trailers, Tear Pod Trailers, Mi'Shell, Sleeper And Other Inventive Builds
  
Check out what's available in
the micro sector with small caravans and trailers
gaining new interest in the UK. Well first in the
absence of a clear definition as to what we consider
fits into this section of Micro Units lets say we
are looking at compact caravans small caravans
with a hard shell. Some may prefer to refer to them
as trailers as in the term Teardrop Trailer but
essentially they are a small hard shelled unit that
can usually be towed by a very small car. So we are
not looking at folders or pop up units here

Trailers

Little Guy, Cargo and Turtle from
Teardrop Trailers of Uckfield. A great
range of teardrops with the popular

The
benefits of such units are they often have a low
centre of gravity and low tow weight are easy to
monuver, set up and can often be stored in the
garage. Other benefits are they are much cheaper to
buy than there full size equivalents. Many take on
the shape of a tear drop hence the name Teardrop
Trailer.

Teardrop Trailers can be
traced back in history to the 1930's so its not a
new idea but modern thinking has vastly
improved the usability and popularity of these units

Mi’Shell
Camping in a hard shell. Check out Mi’Shell a micro unit with a difference,
not your conventional tear shape
associated with many small units. An
ultra light hard shelled unit that can
be towed by trikes and small cars.
Designed for
trikers and with weight a major concern
the Mi'Shell is cheaper and lighter than
most micro units currently available and
is sure to be of interest to trike and
small car owners alike

Not all micro units are tear
shaped, the MiShell from Turtel Trailers proving to
be one of the alternative to the teardrop

Another company worth keeping
an eye on is Camp-Runner Ltd. They have introduce
the Teardrop Camper as they call it to Italy and
Israel and have distributors in France, Germany,
Norway and Slovakya, so it can't be long before we
start to see them here in the UK.
