I have one cost under five hundred, so as cheap or dear as you want. do not make the mistake of compareing to a caravan, I also have a tent and caravan, its a case of right tool for the right job. my teardrop is great behind my classic car, that has limited towing capabilities, but the caravan is best for longer annual hols. if in doubt, you could hire one to try them out, only you will know if its right for you.

I have a couple of friends in the kit car scene who have built them to high standards. Like babygrumpkin states, right tool for the right job.
Fantastic for light weight cars and short holidays though.

We had one years ago, it was our first caravan. It showed us we liked the idea of caravanning and we went on to buy a freedom microlite caravan. The teardrop towed great but we only kept it 6 months, they're cute but not really practical for what we wanted.

Just googled it myself. They look fantastic, almost like a tardis when you see the video. Not sure if you could use an awning but tbh who cares? I'd have one of them in a heartbeat

Going go pod..neat compact van. Possibly could get a rear awning made for it, similar to the ones you get for the back of estate/hatchback cars?

Think it would be ok for short breaks but not sure if I would start to feel a bit claustrophobic after a couple of days.

I've got a Go-Pod. Got a Khyam tailgate awning that goes with it, but to be honest prefer to use a tarpaulin and windbreak.
Looked at teardrops but felt too claustrophobic for me and awkward for getting in and out

Dutch couple on this campsite have a modern teardrop and fitted awnings for side and rear that are about 6 times the size of the caravan, looks all top quality stuff.
