New Teardrop Brand: Bean Trailers

Came across this today. Bean teardrops are fiberglass teardrops made in Salt Lake City. Pricey but very, very nice. Love the proportions and profile.

Their Roof Leak Guarantee has so many exclusions it's downright embarrassing to read. I wonder why they make such a huge deal about it.

I thought with the roof warranty that much if not all of those areas require owner maintenance, and if not maintained, they are going to leak. We had a new Coleman pop-up with same type warranty on the roof. It is unbelievable how many people don't do the necessary maintenance on everything from teardrops to expensive motor homes, and warranties don't generally cover neglect. Also, it only makes sense if someone starts modifying the structure that they should assume responsibility for issues associated with those modifications.

Pretty heavy at 1600+ pounds. Also a lot of money for only one door. The Little Gut T@G is in the same price range, has two doors, and weights in less than 1,000 pounds.
Holy cow, Rose is a teenager now! Done? Surely you jest. A teardrop is never "done".
