But, but, but . . . . . . someone already did this FIVE YEARS AGO !! ;-)This RV Magazine website has a video of a 2010 Element at Honda HQ in California, with a brief glimpse of the Honda SUV tent. The caption, as you'll see below, mentions that they are going to be towing a So-Cal teardrop at some point.
So I'm going to stay tuned and be on the lookout for that video when it's posted.

On Monday, April 12, 2010, RV Magazine visited the Honda Headquarters in Torrance, California, to take a look at the 2010 Honda Element. Why? We are going to tow a So-Cal Teardrops trailer with an Element. Stay tuned for that and more, coming up!
Hiker Chick, sounds like a cool idea. You'r sorta switching the teardrop around. Would you call it a droptear? :grin:
Not yet. Weather and work are not cooperating.I've been taking it tailgating to steeplechase and Jack Russel races so far this spring. 1st trip is is in May to "Tearstock" near Bethel, NY. You should come. TearJerkers rented the whole park. And then Mem -day, Honda Nats etc, etc:grin: I have to sheath the Moondrop roof in aluminum. Luaon not holding up as expected. Still learnin and working out the kinks, but still enjoying and using. Have you been out yet?
In the interest of not putting too much weight on the hitch, what I'm really looking for is a camp kitchen. The stove and other heavy gear can be hauled in the Element or the back of the teardrop.Hikerchick- Everytime I hear you write of using the tongue as your cooking area I think about hitting my shin or knee ergggghhBut I was thinking about a design that would be a tongue mounted chuck wagon -type box with slide out drawers and slide out propane stove. Of course you would have to think about tongue weight. Maybe put on a swivel you would find on a bar stool so you could turn it depending what side you wanted to cook on. Any thoughts?
