The clear benefit of a teardrop should be super light weight, towable by anything.
Sure, there are some benefits. But you compare the teardrop to a truck, and then talk about the clear benefit of the teardrop over other kinds of trailers, which is weird. Yes, if I could snap my fingers and make either a teardrop or a truck show up at a remote camp, I'd prefer the teardrop over a truck/topper. But the clear benefit of a truck (or van) is that you don't have to tow anything, and that's pretty huge. Once you get into the world of towing, life becomes more difficult and your camping options shrink. If I'm going to tow something, I want something that has at least a little floor space, and an inside kitchen. If weight is a concern, I'd get a fiberglass egg camper (Scamp, Casita, etc) long before I'd consider a teardrop.
