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.
I really like eggshell campers, but they are tiny. Some do not have a bathroom so you need to decide if that is important. I always advise new RVers to buy something small and a couple of years old. Much lower investment and you get to see if you like the experience.
An interesting compromise these days are the hybrid trailer. They look like a short travel trailer but have one or more beds that fold down. The big win is, you can enter the trailer even on quick stops for lunch or a bathroom break.
In general, I am not a fan of motorhomes unless you are going to pull a toad or have bicycles. You need a vehicle to run to town for grocery shopping or taking a side trip.
