"It's a teardrop-styled trailer that mirrors the look and character of the vehicle towing it, while providing the amenities and function that customers want and expect in today's marketplace," Dinsmore said. "Performance and styling drive today's rod market, and we think we've filled a unique niche with the Teardrop 2000. For this market, the Teardrop 2000's styling and utility is unmatched."

Providing the performance is a modern, rubber torsion suspension axle which allows the 800 pound trailer to ride lower to the ground for greater comfort and stability while towing. The Teardrop 2000's fiberglass construction, fully-rounded comers and blended undercarriage add to the styling.

An enviromnentally-friendly, on-board water handling system is a key feature of the Teardrop 2000. For many rod and custom car enthusiasts who routinely attend "ovenighter" events, access to fresh water can often be limited at event premises, while tighter environmental regulations concerning water discharge add to the "water-handling" dilemma. The Teardrop 2000 addresses these issues with its 15-gallon fresh water tank, and separate 14-gallon "gray water" holding tank -- giving the user the freedom to "camp anywhere" without damaging the environment.

A hide-away kitchen area located at the rear of the trailer provides all the comforts of home, including sink, marine-style galley, water pump, ice box, single-burner propane stove, and exterior 12-volt lights, plus additional storage space.
