10 Must See Teardrop Trailers You Can Stand Up In


Teardrop Camper

Teardrop trailers are quickly becoming one of the most popular RVs on the road today, thanks to their lightweight and aerodynamic design.

But one of the biggest complaints most people have with teardrop trailers is that they can’t stand up in them.

As the interior height of most teardrops is usually less than four feet.

However, what most campers don’t realize is that there are actually quite a few teardrop trailers you can stand up in.

So we put together this list of some of the best teardrop trailers you can stand up in.  

1) nuCamp Tab 320 S Teardrop Camper

Quick Specs

  • Price:  $27,000
  • Dry Weight: 1,969 Pounds

  • Interior Height:  5 Feet 9 Inches

Starting off our list of teardrop trailers you can stand up in is the nuCamp Tab 320 S Teardrop Camper, which has an interior ceiling height of 5 feet 9 inches.  

Allowing most campers the ability to comfortably stand and walk around inside the camper.

But with a height of only 5 feet 9 inches, campers taller than 5 feet 10 inches will find themselves having to crouch or duck slightly while standing in the trailer.
