I hope you ladies don't mind another man joining in on this interesting topic. My wife and I will be joining the Tear Drop community with our purchase of a gloss black Little Guy 6 wide which will be delivered to Fresno, CA in about 3 weeks. Photos to follow! This will be our first 'off the ground' camping experience.
I am nearly 4 months into my difficult (at age 65) recovery of major back surgery in which 15 vertebrae were fused - T2 to L4. Muscle spasms are a way of life right now! I mentioned that in order to convey my insecurities as a man at this time in my life, especially when camping in that little Tear Drop in unfamiliar surroundings. We will have solid, tinted doors that lock tight and black privacy blinds and black carpeted interior walls to make it difficult for someone to see in if we had to peek outside. But I still feel vulnerable. Has anyone thought of installing a 200 degree or 260 degree door peep hole perhaps in the front of their trailer so they could view the tow vehicle (if parked in front) or other activity that might be going on?
I am also going to rig our 'over the door' led lights to switch on from the inside also. We both used to carry concealed years ago, but it got so difficult and expensive to carry in California that we have not renewed...but there are a lot of interesting hiding places to be found and creatively utilized in a Little Guy!
We used to motorcycle camp a lot with our 2 bikes and a cargo trailer. One night we set up our tent under a light in the middle of a public park in Jackson, CA...up on Hwy 49 in the Gold Country after an exhaustive days ride. It was about 1:00 in the morning when we were awakened by a couple of guys talking and shaking our tent. Both our hearts almost stopped beating! The only thing I had with me in the tent was a knife, so I cautiously made my way out of the tent to see what was up. Thankfully, as it turned out, the guys were locals, and had had a couple of beers and were curious about the motorcycles and just wanted to chat.
Thank you for letting me join the fun and gain valuable information as well,
Clyde and Linda
I wanna hang a map of the world in my house. Then I'm gonna put pins into all the locations that I've traveled to. But first, I'm gonna have to travel to the top two corners of the map so it won't fall down.
