The classic teardrop shape gets a modern reboot The teardrop trailer has been a staple of the camping world since the 1940s, prized thanks to its affordability and practicality. And while many campers and vans just keep getting bigger and more luxurious, a new class of outdoor companies are looking to reinvent the classic teardrop shape with more modern amenities.

The latest camper to hit the trail is the brand new Utah-based Bean Trailer. Founded by Mark Harling, an avid outdoorsman, the Bean hopes to deliver the luxury of RVs without the hassle of towing a large vehicle. The compact design stays true to the teardrop shape, with sleeping quarters for two and a galley kitchen accessed from the outside.
But Harling and his team use real wood veneer cabinets and amenities like accent lighting, Bluetooth speakers, and custom Maharam upholstery. The Bean also features a queen size mattress, not the smaller full mattress that comes in some teardrops. At 14-feet long, the trailer can be used with the mattress down for sleeping or pushed up to make a sofa-like lounging area. The interior boasts integrated floor storage, cabinets, adjustable shelves and even cup holders to keep things clean.
