One of the many benefits of teardrop camping is the ability to have the comforts of a camper and the location flexibility of a tent.
The only thing holding your teardrop trailer back from having even more capability is the inevitable need to plug into an electrical source for power.
But what if we could fix that?
Well –we did! With our solar-powered options, you can now embrace the power of the Sun on all of your camping adventures.
There are a few things we want you to know about solar-powered teardrop campers.
#1: The Investment is Worth the Savings
When people hear solar power, the first thought is typically something along the lines of “too expensive”. We won’t sugarcoat it –there is an initial investment when choosing to go solar. However, at the risk of sounding like a door-to-door salesman, it really will pay itself off.

By not needing to use electrical hook-ups, you can save money on campground fees. You will also save money on battery replacements and fuel if you ever use a gas-powered generator for backup power.
Solar panels also require very little maintenance. Knowing how your teardrop is powered will be key to knowing what maintenance needs to be done, and when.
#2: You Will Reduce Your Environmental Footprint
As a camper, you know the golden rule: always leave things better than you found them. Did you know this applies to more than just physical trash?
Using solar power helps reduce air and noise pollution, leaving a better environment for campers and wildlife alike. With zero emissions and quiet operation, your camp neighbors will thank you. Plus, you’ll be leaving even less of a footprint. It’s really a win-win!
#3: You Can Embrace More Off-Grid Adventures
With solar power, your only boss is the sun. Instead of having to orchestrate plug-ins, pre-charging, and packing a plethora of back up batteries, you can rely on the light of the Earth –you know, that thing that comes up every single day without fail.
Your teardrop camper is already able to access more campsites than larger RVs. Now, with the flexibility of solar power, you can embrace more off-grid adventures and see more of this beautiful planet!

#4: Solar Panels are Safe to Use in the Rain
While it may seem obvious, we have to say it: yes, you can use solar panels in the rain!
Even if the sun is not shining brightly, there is still sunlight to be found. Your portable solar panel will have no issue in the rain.
In the event of more severe weather, you can always store your solar panel indoors if you are worried about something falling on it and causing damage. Keep in mind, these are designed for the outdoors and will withstand more than you think!
#5: You Can Customize Based on Your Needs
Similar to adding additional battery packs, you do have the option to use additional or higher solar panels. Prior to doing this, you will need to check on the wiring needed and the capacity of your teardrop.
Be sure to reference the manual for both your teardrop camper and the solar panel prior to adding solar panels!
