Expedition vs teardrop trailer

If you could magically have either an expedition trailer show up right now in your garage OR a teardrop trailer, which would you want and what is your reason?
 
I went from an expedition trailer to a tear drop. My expedition trailer went some moderately hard core routes. The downfall was I got tired of a RTT. If the tent was higher, a vestibule would have made it a bit better. I had to build it low profile to handle the trails I ran. The next factor was wind. Two years straight, most of my trips ended up windy.
Then Covid hit and I was laid off. I built a teardrop and never looked back. Ironically, the first trip in the teardrop saw 30 mph wind.

I cant run the hard core trails with my trailer but I no longer have a vehicle capable any way.
1. Expedition Trailer. Smaller, lighter, more maneuverable, sleeping in a tent.
2. Tear Drop. Bigger, heavier, sleep inside a protected box.
 
Tough call, both have a time and place. I think I would go with a teardrop though. That way I can climb inside and have hard walls.
 
Hmmmmm, depends on the manufacture. But I do like the look of the Expedition trailers and you can drag these to more places.
 
The problem with many teardrops is that they aren't designed for off-road use. And if you drag one out in the trails you will likely mess it up.
 
So true for many, there are a few out there that are composite construction and have decent suspensions. That will give them the chops to explore off the beaten paths.
 
For what I do and current needs expedition trailer assuming it has enough storage, clearance and doesn't weigh more than 3000lbs
