Teardrop trailer: Cozy camping without a tent

This little room on wheels is so easy to handle, it can be hitched to a Mini Cooper.

Its standard design includes a bed, kitchen, and cabinets, but custom add-ons get as crazy as espresso makers and solar showers.

Teardrops range from $3,500 for used to $12,000 for a custom model. Buy or rent them at Vacations in a Can (from $175 for two nights) in Penngrove, California. (Read more in Sunset's July 2010 issue!)
