Teardrop Trailer Dealers in Iowa

Six dealerships in Iowa carry teardrop trailers, and they average 4.6 stars across the lot. That is a thin field for a small state, so the drive between them matters. I have bought two RVs and walked off a third lot, and I will tell you which of these is worth the gas and which is worth a phone call first.

Where the teardrops are

The dealers cluster along the eastern half of the state. Premier RV LLC in the northwest corner rates 4.9 on 182 reviews, the best score here. Easy Camping RV sits at 4.8 on 119. Cheyenne Camping Center has the deepest review base of the small stores at 680 and a 4.7. Ketelsen RV De Soto books 237 reviews at 4.6. Bish's RV of Davenport is the big generalist, 4.5 on 798 reviews, and carries motorhomes, camper vans and toy haulers alongside its teardrops. Blue Compass RV Des Moines runs 4.0 on 1,385 reviews, the largest crowd and the lowest score. All six offer financing. A teardrop is a small buy, so ask about the walk-through before you hitch up. Confirm the dealer will fill the water tank, run the fridge and show you the hatch latches working.

Reviews worth reading

High review counts do not guarantee a good afternoon. Blue Compass has the most reviews by far but the weakest rating, so read the recent ones for service complaints before you commit to a Des Moines trip. Bish's is the same story in milder form: huge volume, middling score. The smaller dealers rate higher, and Premier RV LLC at 4.9 on 182 reviews suggests people leave satisfied. Trust the pattern. If you are driving two hours, call ahead and confirm the exact trailer is on the ground, because inventory moves and a teardrop listed online may already be sold.

Match the trailer to the trip

Teardrops suit weekend runs to the Loess Hills or a state park lake, not a two week family haul. If you want more space later, note that five of these six dealers also stock toy haulers and all six carry travel trailers, so a trade is realistic. Five carry used inventory, which is where the value sits for a first camper. One dealer handles consignment and buys outright, useful if you are upgrading. Get a pre-purchase inspection even on a new unit, and get pre-approved by your own bank before you discuss financing at the counter.

Late fall and winter are slower for dealers, which can help your side of the table. Inspect in daylight, even if that means a cold walk-around, and check the service department hours before you buy.
