The 2024 Clipper Tear Drop Series Tent Trailer 12.0 MAX scored high marks in our review for its innovative design, high-quality build, and excellent features. As a much-lauded addition to the 2024 Clipper Tent Trailers range, this model deftly combines portability with comfort and luxury. A detailed examination revealed that the manufacturer has striven to maintain high standards when it comes to materials and construction, thus ensuring durability and user-friendliness.
The trailer features an exterior made of automotive-grade metal and is framed in E-Coated Tubular Steel, lending it some serious durability. With such a sturdy outer shell, it can handle the elements and wear and tear of long journeys. The inclusion of a laminated fiberglass roof offers additional protection from the weather. The trailer is shod with 15" tires with electric brakes, a heavy-duty tongue jack, a spare tire carrier, wide trac ultra lube spring axles, and steel rims, providing ease of towing and good ground clearance for off-road adventures.
Step inside, and you will appreciate the quality of the interior finishings, featuring 100% adhesion residential grade linoleum and laminated countertops. The cushy 4” high-density cushions are very inviting and promise a good night's sleep. The well-designed and accommodating kitchenette – which features a deep bowl acrylic sink and two-burner high output range – is perfect for those who don’t like the idea of giving up home comforts when heading into the great outdoors.
The efficient 12V on-demand water pump and LED interior lights are powered by the built-in 'Off the Grid' solar package - a 200-watt solar panel with a 30 amp digital solar controller. That's a big plus for boondockers and anyone looking to save on campground power hookups.
The measurements reveal a quite manageable and compact size when closed (17' 5" length x 7' 5" height x 85" width), making it easy to tow and park. However, it expands to 13' 11" when opened, providing ample space to stretch out and relax.
With an MSRP of $24,491 and an invoice price of $16,890, you're getting a fairly priced model for all the features and benefits it delivers. These advantages, coupled with the reputation of Clipper, make this trailer a smart choice for adventurous souls and family vacationers alike.
In conclusion, the Clipper Tear Drop Series Tent Trailer 12.0 MAX 2024 represents a compelling mix of durability, functionality, and thoughtful design. It's an investment that could bring you much joy and adventure in your future travels.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
