Wow, that teardrop sure tucks in behind the van nicely. I bet it is a very different driving experience towing the the van v the Subaru. Not that the Sub isn’t fully capable of towing the teardrop.

Interesting that the Wisconsin plate on the teardrop is the green and white like our old Washington plates from back in the day. Looks great!
The Subaru has plenty of power but can’t take the tongue weight. I’m right at the max limit for it. The Transit on the other hand can take about six times the tongue weight.

The Wisconsin plate does remind me of the old Washington plate. The one on the trailer was last used in 1955. After that this was the plate.

This is the current plate design.

That is the number of my teardrop. Camp-Inn numbers them similar to Air Stream. Mine was completed in November of 2017. Now they are in the 1050’s.
