One of the more interesting teardrop-sized off-road camping trailers to make its way across our computer screen in recent years, the Goliath G-47 is a towable juxtaposition that pairs one of the hardest-wearing exteriors out there with a cozy living concept all kitted out with features like a flip-up rainfall shower, off-grid electrical kit and swing-out grill. Hitch it up to a Land Cruiser or Patrol, and it'll ride over trail and stream to bring homey living to the type of biomes that would otherwise chew you up and $#@% you out in minutes. We've received a little reader pushback lately about our liberal use of the word "teardrop" trailer.
That's fair, and we can't argue with observations that a teardrop trailer should be curvy and shaped, generally speaking, like an actual drop of tear flowing out of the corner of an eye. But the camping trailer market has become flooded with all kinds of body shapes around layouts very clearly inspired by the original teardrops – mattress-filled cabins with a few cabinets, tailgate galleys and not much else. We've come to embrace them as part of the extended teardrop family, if only to save from having to coin a new, unrecognizable name for every single and that arrives to market trying to distinguish itself from the pack.
The G-47 from Goliath campers, however, does remind us much more of a heavy-duty tool than a teardrop. It's vaguely similar in shape to a , so we're going with "hammer-drop" for this one and hope to fill out the catego.
