This item you call a teardrop is something not encountered here in the
UK - at least not by me. I looked it up in Google and found several
sites showing the construction etc. fascinating and really cool.

I should imaging that there is ample sleeping room in the front
compartment for average sized people. I nearly bought a two person
caravan some years ago but even that seemed to be larger, at least
taller, than a teardrop.

One is never too old to learn.

Yeah, but can well be too old to sleep in a teardrop caravan...especially if one
is any taller than about 5 feet/1.5m...

I'm sure there are some out there that could comfortably sleep "an average
sized" person or two. But IME - limited as to "teardrop" campers/caravans, but
fairly extensive as to caravans/campers in general, boats, etc. - if your
initial reaction is that there is the slightest hint that it might be, possibly,
just a wee bit - not much, mind you, just a tad - small, in practice it will
seem like you're trying to sleep in a matchbox...with the matches...and among
the things keeping you awake will be wondering how you managed to instantly grow
6 ft./2m just by attempting to lay on what can only be jokingly referred to as a
"bed"...OTOH, I've no doubt it would sleep better than, say, a bass cabinet at a
Who concert...set upon a portable toilet...nearest the concession selling boiled
egg and cabbage burritos...and giving out free ones to drunken Irish football
fans...

I visited the teardrop Build page mentioned by another poster and was
impressed by the skill and attention to detail . The purpose of the
Galley is self evident but the "living quarters" are really too short
(as you suggest) for real comfort. In that case what precisely is the
purpose of the front compartment as it appears to be so short?
