There are always new, neat or practical accessories that emerge for teardrops and camping in general. Sometimes, it’s not that they are new per se, but just that they are very smart. There are also cool places to travel to and see. This section will highlight an accessory that’s pretty nifty as well as a destination, whether popular or relatively unknown.

Campfire Chatter: Side Mounted Screen Room/Tent

Friday, January 15th, 2010

As featured last July, we are once again highlighting the tent….why do you ask, well for one simple reason – it is the #1 selling accessory. For the next 30 days, we are going to extend a tremendous offer so you can get your hands on one of these beauties.
Teardrops are really ideal and practical, but sometimes you need some “living quarters” or standing/changing space. The 10’x 10’ Screen room offers more than just extra living space, it can offer privacy as well. With awnings on all four sides and your choice of screened walls or solid private walls, the tent offers flexibility. It’s also perfect for when you have a couple of guests along for the journey. 4 sleeping bags or cots could easily be set up in the tent.
While it was designed for the Little Guy and Silver Shadow Trailer line, it is compatible with many teardrops with similar sized doors and dimensions from door to fender. If your door is 28” wide and 35” tall or less, the door cut out will be just perfect. The fender cut-out accommodates for simple aluminum semi-circle fenders or a full sized fiberglass fenders (California-style).
