Greetings!
I've decided to upgrade from tenting to a mini teardrop trailer. My sisters told me about this group so decided to join. The information that Bob posted is extremely helpful to us newbies. My new trailer will be ready in October. I'll be migrating south from upstate NY after Thanksgiving.

HI....teardrop is nice. Congrats! gets ya off the ground and in big rain storms that always is a good thing
One reason we dropped the tent was we got caught in massive big storm and boy, everything was so soaked for days on end so at that point I looked at hubby and said TRUCK CAMPER and we got one and I never went back on the ground

Enjoy your travels heading South. So much to do and see along the way, enjoy the journey!!

Congratulations on your upgrade! Tent camping is an option but it can be a struggle, especially if you have a windy winter in the Southwest Desert. The folks that have teardrops seem to rave about them. 

I think taking conservative steps by starting with the tent, then the teardrop is a wise way to get out on the road. You will learn what works best for you as you go along. 

Safe and Happy Travels!

Welcome to the forum, Bob. The teardrop trailer is a nice option, and definitely a step up from the tent. I considered buying one and did some research on them last year.
