WHY A TEARDROP?

WINDOW TO THE WORLD

Vistabule Teardrop Trailers let you bust out of the burden of


costly hotels and restaurants and see the world with a view
as big as the sky. The advanced, cab-forward design provides
vistas that no other trailers offer. The queen sized bed converts
in seconds into a delightful sitting space, with a fold up table.
The smartly fitted kitchen allows you to prepare meals while
protected from rain and sun.
In an uncertain economy, the Vistabule provides a travel
environment with world-class design without the price tag.
The lovingly detailed hardwood veneer cabin includes clothing
storage, multiple ventilation points and is fully fitted for your
iPad and smart phone. The Vistabule combines classic lines
with a small carbon footprint and a big view to our world. Its
available now with a wide range of accessories to meet your
specific needs.

THE VISTABULE DIFFERENCE

CAB FORWARD

The galley hatch has a window that allows you to glance


at your rearview mirror and
see all the way through the
trailer. When youre in towing mode, you will find this
to be a very important safety
feature.

The Vistabule is different from other teardrop trailers. We call


it cab forward. That means that youre oriented to the front
where all the action is. The huge window affords a view to the
world as well as the sky. Claustrophobia is banned from this
model. The sleeping / living area is the size of a queen size
bed. Big enough for a pajama party, pillow fight, or big burly
slumbers from a night of campfire revelry. Your feet do not
hide under the backside of the galley. Instead you have a floor
to ceiling headboard for stashing all your clothing and gear. In
the headboard there is a pass through opening that provides a
clear line of sight from your cars rear view mirror to whatever
is happening behind you when driving. The doors are wide for
lounging half in and half out, and they have convenient fold
up tables that double as privacy covers at night. One of the
best things about this cab forward concept, though, is the semiautomatic sofa mechanism. By simply sliding a small catch, the
bed magically rises to create a comfortable sofa! Now youre
truly ready to experience a wide view to a glorious vista!

VISTABULE BED

Since the beginning, teardrop trailers have


provided a simple and convenient way
to camp on the run. A place to cook and
store your food, a place for your gear and a
place to sleep. Typically the sleeping compartment has been almost like sleeping in
a drawer, feet under the galley, dark, cave
like and claustrophobic. The Vistabule does
something different. Not just a sleeping
compartment where you stow yourself for
the night, but a place you want to be, to observe, to play, to eat, or just hang!
The Vistabule bedroom is spacious and full of light. The queen-size bed gives you plenty of elbow room for a good nights sleep. You can put your head at either end. On a starry night you can
gaze up through the front window and fall asleep counting the shooting stars.

VISTABULE SOFA
The Vistabule has a great bedroom chamber!
But did you know that the queen-size bed also
converts to a comfortable couch? So, now, you
not only have a bedroom, but a reading room,
observation platform, breezeway, game room,
fine dining room, gazebo and back porch all in
one!

VISTABULE WINDOWS
The most striking thing about the Vistabule is its array of
windows. The wide vista front window, while offering a
spectacular view of the horizon, is at such an angle that
it also serves as a vista dome under which you can lie
comfortably and count the stars as you fall asleep. If you
want some privacy you can easily pull down the pleated
shade that rides in slots on either side of the window.
Also, these windows are made of polycarbonate plastic
know as Lexan. Lexan is 50 times more impact resistant
than glass. Even a direct hit from flying debris will not
harm it.
The sides of the Vistabule features wide windows in the
doors and large porthole windows besides. These windows now have the added option of being fully functional.

These windows open and there are screens that keep the
bugs out but let the breezes in. All in all you will find
that the Vistabule is so connected to the outdoors that
claustrophobia and stuffiness are gone for good!

NOTE: The side ventilation ports, three speed ceiling fan and open able windows with screens
can create quite a refreshing breeze on hot nights. All Vistabules have air vents that, with a fan
pulling air through, keep the Vistabule cool. You also have the option of an air conditioner.

VISTABULE LIGHTS

The Vistabule has lighting galore! Reading lights,


dome lights, galley light and a red light that is perfect for saving your night vision when viewing the
stars or wild life.

VISTABULE STORAGE
The Vistabule headboard has
room for every item of clothing you need for your travels.
No need to bring suitcases. The
upper storage is ideal for your
socks, T-shirts and unmentionables. The handy and simple
rice paper curtains keep things
in place on bumpy roads. The
sliding doors below hide deep
storage for your more bulky
sweaters, shirts and pants.

Beneath the floor are two large storage spaces. Big enough for
your folding chairs or a mini-spare tire, or both! And when
the bed is in sofa mode these storage areas provide a comfortable place for your feet.

VISTABULE KITCHENETTE
The Vistabule galley stows all your
camping gear. Below, there is plenty
of room for your pots, pans, and food.
Above, you have a cabinet for your
dishes and utensils. Your cooler fits
neatly in the center and on either side
you have a sink with running water
and a pullout, two burner stove.

VISTABULE TABLES

Tables are an important feature in our teardrop trailers.


When the bed is in sofa mode a cool little table mounts
in the floor before you. Perfect for a game of cribbage or
a place to set your field glasses while waiting for a deer
to come into the clearing.

When its bed time the table stores in the storage bin beneath you, the sofa collapses easily into a bed, and the
fold up tables on the doors are ready for a last minute
nosh or nightcap. When its time to sleep, you can either
lift the tables to their privacy mode or drop them flat to
the doors.

VISTABULE TOWING
Towing your Vistabule could not be easier!
The Vistabule hitch fits a 2 ball. The Vistabule
shape is aerodynamic and fits nicely into the
slipstream of your car. It has 14 wheels that
hug the road and a torsion axle that makes for
a smooth ride. The Vistabule camper is carefully balanced, which means that sway and
fishtailing are virtually eliminated. Weighing
only 1220 pounds, the Vistabule can be towed
easily behind almost any car.

VISTABULE POWER NITCH


In the back galley, hidden behind the lower storage
compartment, lies a secret doorway. Open that
door and out tumbles a highly organized array
of electrical wires, fuses and connections. When
it comes time to service your battery or change
a fuse, every thing is clear, labeled and easy to
access.

MINNESOTA TEARDROP TRAILER LLC

Birth of an Icon

Teardrop trailers are a fad that has lasted since the 1930s. What makes them so appealing? Well,
theyre small and cute! But more than that, they are an economical and a simple way to travel
through the natural wonders of this great country. Originally, teardrop trailers were born of the
need to survive the Great Depression. People were losing their homes, their jobs. En masse they
migrated across the country looking for greener pastures. They may have lost their homes and
their livelihood, but somehow they held onto their old jalopy and cobbled together a small trailer
that could shelter them in their travels to the new world. This was the time of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). They built our roads, bridges and infrastructure. They built our National
Parks and their marvelous lodges. Little trailers, hard work and hard times made these beautiful
vistas that we treasure today. One way to experience these wonderful treasures is in one of our
teardrop trailers. Its a Vistabule! A room with a view, a window to the world.
