You\u2019ve put a lot of time into choosing the options and accessories for your teardrop so it\u2019s your ideal \u201chome on wheels.\u201d But what can you do with it when your journey is over and you\u2019ve parked it on your premises?<\/p>\n
Do you just tarp it and start planning for the next road trip?<\/p>\n
Maybe. Or maybe it\u2019s time to think of how else<\/em> you can use your camper.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re a home-based entrepreneur with a family, there are probably times when the kids (or your significant other) interferes with your concentration. Never fear\u2014your teardrop is here. Or rather, out there, just waiting for you to climb in, shut the door and get your work done in peace and quiet.<\/p>\n Of course, you\u2019ll need the proper electrical hook-up unless you plan on working by daylight only and are prepared to do without an operational HVAC system. Check with an electrician for advice about connecting your camper to your home\u2019s electrical system since it will need at least a 30\/50 amp hookup.<\/p>\n Then, once you get your power needs satisfied, you\u2019ll be in good shape to get your business back up and running, even if your office is standing still!<\/p>\n All you want is a little privacy. A place to call your own, if only for a few hours. A hangout where you can watch sports or your favorite films uninterrupted, or entertain a few friends without any uninvited \u201cguests\u201d\u2014kids or<\/em> spouses!<\/p>\n Step out of your home and into your teardrop, and once the door is shut, you\u2019re in your own little world. The great thing about using a teardrop as a man-cave\/she-shed is that everything you need is already there: a bed to relax on, a table to eat at, and, depending on the size and configuration, a kitchen where you can prepare quick snacks. (What\u2019s a hideout without any food?)<\/p>\n And once your thirst for alone-time has been slaked, just unhook your camper from the power grid, secure the door and head back into your home\u2014refreshed, rejuvenated and ready for family life!<\/p>\n You love your extended family. You really do. Your aunts, uncles and cousins, your in-laws, your adult kids and their<\/em> kids. And when they call to say they\u2019re coming to visit, you\u2019re thrilled\u2014until you realize that your house isn\u2019t big enough for all those extra bodies.<\/p>\n That\u2019s when you turn your teardrop into a guest suite. Hook it up to your house\u2019s power grid and, depending on the set-up, you should have enough power to get by. (Note: See above tip about consulting with an electrician.)<\/p>\n As for your water needs, consider how much your fresh water tank holds and judge according. (The fresh water tank in nuCamp\u2019s teardrops holds 11 gallons.) The same applies for the gray water and black water tanks. One overnight guest might not be a problem, but three teens for a week can definitely strain the systems. A good option is to let your guests use your home while you retire to your teardrop each night. Since you\u2019re used to how the plumbing and HVAC operate, there\u2019s less chance of any unintended issues or \u201csurprises.\u201d<\/p>\nAs a Home Office<\/h2>\n
