New Teardrop - Silver Shadow

[trailtrekerNJ]

I did not build it, but I can now go camping.
Picked up a 5 x 10 Silver Shadow Highliner at Miller Trailer Sales in Perkasie, PA.
A much better sales process than the past attmept with the Mega-Mini.

Nice!

Not as dramatic / complicated as others, added tie down brackets and a micro wave to the teardrop.

Very nice trailer - congratulations on your purchase!


Would be curious to know what are some of your favorite local places to camp?

Congrats, and enjoy every trip out.

Very nice trailer - enjoy the road ahead!

(But instead of a microwave, you sure a cooler wouldn't be of more importance in that space?)

And a good looking Tow Vehicle too, Honda Element.

[trailtrekerNJ]

The Element has been 'retired', as a tow vehicle for the teardrop.
The Element owner's manual states - a total trailer weight must not exceed 1,500lb and the tongue weight is 10% of total trailer weight.
Empty the 5 x 10 Silver Shadow weighs in at 1,080lb, with a tongue weight of 110lb.
Add all the farkles and equipment and I'm at or above the limit.
Sooooo called into service is our JK 4dr Jeep Wrangler.

[trailtrekerNJ]

Due to weight and condensation we opted to carry our coolers in the back of the Jeep.
In the jeep we installed a 'Rampage Rear Interior Sports Rack'.
This divides the rear cargo area into upper & lower storage and the rack tilts upward to allow easy access to the lower storage area / coolers.

Happy camping!

P.S. I consider the micro wave as a "farkle"....
Used only to entice the wife to come on some of my adventures.
I do all of my cooking using a "Jet Boil" stove.
Basically I eat cereals and soups when I travel.
To me it is just a matter of re-fueling for the next hike.
Don't get me wrong after a week of such a diet I make a pig of myself at The Outback.
