Welcome.
Congratulations on your recent purchase of a Little Guy, Silver Shadow or T@B Teardrop Camper Trailer.
The first teardrop trailers came about in the early 1930’s. Their popularity soared after World War II, fueled by returning
vets restless to travel the country on a shoestring budget. Post-war builders often used materials from war surplus
markets. The chassis were made from round steel tubing, wheels came from Jeeps that were salvaged from sunken ships
and the exterior skins were usually fashioned from the wings of World War II bombers.
While a lot has changed since the introduction of teardrop trailers on the American highway 8 decades ago, the styling,
spirit and reasons for owning one remains the same. Ten years ago, Little Guy was founded with one goal in mind: to
resurrect the ideal that ‘less is more.’ Remember the days when life was easier? Camping should be just that…because
the journey is the destination.
This manual was designed to acquaint and assist you with the operation and maintenance of your teardrop trailer.
Following the instructions and recommendations in this manual will help assure the safe and enjoyable operation of
your teardrop camper trailer. Your camper’s design is uncomplicated, built with the highest standards of integrity and
truly reminiscent when times were simpler. That said, some parts of the manual will be more in depth (for the T@B)
and not apply to Little Guys or Shadows.
In the following pages, you will find general working knowledge of our trailers as well as some helpful hints to make your
camping experience all that it should be. We are thrilled you have joined the family of the best-selling teardrops in the
world and look forward to making sure you are a ‘happy camper.’
