A pop-up trailer gives you a lot more usable interior space than a teardrop, which is more along the lines of a hard-sided pup tent (okay, somewhat bigger than that, but not a whole lot).
Maybe a little "egg" trailer like a Scamp or Casitas or similar would be worth considering. As was mentioned, they do have quite small tanks, so water conservation is important if you don't have hookups available.
If you'll be spending a comparatively large amount of time actually traveling from place to place (rather than spending the time at any destination), a motorhome of some sort is definitely more convenient than a trailer. You don't need to go outside to get to the bathroom or fridge, just pull over and walk a few steps back. When stopping for a night, a minimal setting up of camp consists of setting the parking brake and turning the ignition and headlights off assuming the area where you're stopping is reasonably level, and breaking camp in the morning is pretty much just the same steps taken in reverse.
