The aluminum teardrop or raindrop-shaped trailers are quickly becoming popular. From the outside, it is hard to tell what could be inside these units. They are small and compact, and easy to tow with a hitch-equipped small SUV or a car rated for their weight. These small, trendy units can come outfitted in a number of ways. You can choose bunk beds or large flat beds, shelving and cabinet configuration, and lighting options. You can also add amenities such as sinks, stoves and small toilets. Units can come with or without windows and bug-resistant window screens.

Micro-Lite makes a wide variety of trailers for many different purposes. The company provides light, compact trailers that are practical, inexpensive and easy to tow. The company's smallest travel trailer, the Moto-Mate model, can easily be pulled by a motorcycle that is rated for a hitch. The small trailer measures just less than eight-feet long and three-feet wide, and can sleep one adult. A couple could make due, but it might get tight depending the couple's berth. The Wazat model weighs only 1,500 pounds and can be towed by a car. Make sure that your car is rated for towing and can be outfitted safely with a hitch. This trailer can sleep two adults comfortably. Both of these trailers feature small kitchens that pop out and that come equipped with a cooking surface, small counter and sink.
