Teardrop campers for sale in Australia in 2025

If you’ve been looking for teardrop campers for sale here in Australia, you’ve come to the right place.

I’ve been thinking about teardrop campers ever since we had a couple of these little campers come in to the show grounds where we were staying.

One turned up on a bit of a windy, blustery day, so we set about finding them a reasonably protected spot (right beside the chooky sheds, as it happened) since they needed to cook their dinner without the wind whipping out the flame on their gas cooker.

This got me thinking about the pros and cons of a teardrop camper trailers and whether or not I could travel in a camper that is so small.

In my opinion, the pros and cons of teardrop campers are pretty much at the opposite ends of the spectrum. What makes teardrop campers great… can also be what make them horrible!

Pros

• Small – basically a bed on wheels
• Light weight – can be towed with almost any vehicle
• Have most things you need – a warm bed, cooking facilities, somewhere to retreat in the rain
• Price – not as cheap as a tent, but certainly not as expensive as a full caravan. You’re more likely to be looking in the $10-30k price range for a teardrop camper, compared to $50k+ for a caravan.

Cons

• Small – you can’t stand up in them, so it’s really just for sleeping and relaxing
• Outside living – it’s basically just a bedroom so you’ll be doing most of your living outside (which can also be a ‘pro’!)
• No bathroom – so you may be limited to staying in caravan parks or campgrounds that have facilities

There’s not a whole lot to be said about teardrop campers, really.

They have that distinct shape, they’re generally only a little big bigger than a double or queen bed, and have a kitchen on the rear end.

Teardrop campers range in price from $10,000 – $40,000 with some going past $50,000 AUD!

Teardrop campers are not as common in Australia as caravans, but I have seen a couple and it got me to wondering if there are many manufacturers here in Australia. Thanks to google, this is what I’ve found…

For clarity, I’m only going to look at campers that are in that classic teardrop shape that are only about as big as a bed, and have the kitchen on the rear.

There are plenty of other small campers that are only as big as a bed, but just to keep this list from becoming bigger than Ben Hur, I’m limiting it to teardrop shaped campers.

Jayco JPOD

The JPOD is barely in the teardrop shape, but with Jayco being such a big name brand, I thought it likely that many people would think of this model. It doesn’t have the kitchen on the back like most of these teardrops, but it is still small and light.

Rugged, off-road teardrop camper hybrid trailers

The following campers are that hybrid between a teardrop camper and … something else? Maybe a camper trailer? Or are they just called pods?

While they are the teardrop shape, they’re not necessarily that ‘classic’ shape we’re all familiar with. But they do have the kitchen on the back.

It’s just that they’re a teardrop camper … with more.

More suspension. More ground clearance. More solar. More awning. More high tech.

The Sherpa is a striking camper has been aptly named, it carries everything you could need. It’s got a roof-top tent, bat wing awning, ensuite tent and all in a small and light package. See all the details over the Sherpa on the BRS Offroad website.

Note: I’m having trouble finding any current (Jan 2025) info on BRS so I’m not sure if their website is still working.

Teardrop Campers from around the world

Below are some of the most popular and well-known teardrop camping trailers from around the world.

I’m including these so you can get an idea of what else is available on the market.

nuCamp

I’ve already swooned over United States based nuCamp on my other blog (RVObsession.com) where I talked about the T@B trailers (you can see that post over here), but nuCamp also have the T@G teardrop trailers.

These are very stylish little campers, with luxuries like TV and air-con! And plenty of upgrades for going off-grid if you want to.

You can see lots more photos and models, over on the nuCamp website.

Tiny Camper

Now across to Lithuania where they’re building these great, little Teardrops.

They have just two models, the Mini and the Expedition.

Tiny Camper do have teardrop camper kits but they’re based in the EU so not really much good to us in Australia.

Check out the TinyCamper.eu website.

Timberleaf Trailers

The beautiful Classic Cabin from Timberleaf Trailers makes me feel like you’re really experiencing the rough and rugged outdoors… without too much of that uncomfortable rough and ruggedness!

She looks a beauty, doesn’t she! And fit’s right into her natural environment.

You can tell just from the pictures that Vintage Overland take great pride in crafting each of their teardrop campers.

See these beautiful designs and read the story of how they got started over at: www.vintageoverland.com

What about if you want to build your own teardrop camper?

You may be looking for teardrop camper plans or even teardrop camper kits, but I’ve found them pretty hard to come by here in Australia.

However, I have found a website that’s a wealth of information for anyone building their own teardrop camper trailer.

The Aussie Teardrop Campers website has heaps of really helpful information.

Teardrop Camper Kits

The only Teardrop Camper Kit I’ve been able to find here in Australia, is a Chesapeake Light Craft Australia kit sold by Denman Marine. Here’s a link to the kit so you can check it out for yourself.

Do you think it’s worth considering a teardrop camper for your holidays around Australia?

Personally, I think a teardrop trailer is perfect either short-term (2 weeks or less) holidays or a trip where you’re going to be moving around a lot (like on a road trip right around Australia). You have all the important amenities (somewhere to sleep and somewhere to cook) in something that’s small, lightweight and easy to tow, while also being way more comfortable than a tent and easier to set up than an RV.
