I’ve owned a Hiker Trailer for over a year now . Looking at this trailer and comparing it , I’d say that I wish I could have seen a trailer like this last year when I was looking . Don’t get me wrong my Hiker is top notch but I absolutely love the layout of the TC interior . I love my roof rack on my Hiker , I’ve got all 4 bars and I’ve made a complete roof rack system that is awesome. I have the roof AC and the expensive fridge box on the front. My Hiker weighs in at 2400 pounds with normal camping gear , 2600 with Generator and gas . The tongue weight is 280 -350 lbs according to how it’s packed and if the generator / rear basket is attached . It’s a little heavy , the Jeep doesn’t have problems pulling it unless in the mountains on steep grades. I wish I had a combination of the two trailers , I think it would be neat . I paid more than 16k for the Hiker but I did option it out nicely. Overall I was very impressed with that TC trailer .
Thank you for providing this context and view point. It's always nice to get a detailed comments based on experience with other small camper brands. For those out shopping and looking into different trailers, these types of comments are SUPER helpful. Based on your feedback, it sounds like you have a dialed outdoor adventure system! My kind of people! Thanks again for taking the time to drop a comment. Stay hungry for adventure!
Great review. I think you really nailed it - no trailer is perfect, it’s all about tradeoffs. It was great seeing this in person; it truly is a great camper that can’t be beat for the price! Todd & Carol are great people that care about and listen to their customers. We love our 5x10 ORE.
Thanks Craig! Todd and Carol are truly great people! I think this trailer will provide a great solution for many adventure spirits, but for us, it's tough to beat models like the ORE or AE.
@@FreysOnTheSide well, after much thought, we pulled the trigger on the Terrain! Looking forward to getting it and using it - will allow for more room in inclement weather vs the teardrop.
They really are! It’s been a pleasure getting to know them over the years and seeing first hand how awesome they are and amazing they treat their customers.
That's awesome! We are both fortunate to be close to the TC shop, where we can see their products in person and talk directly to Todd and Carol. For many that is not the case, so be sure you share your findings with the small camper community. Keep us posted if you end up with the Terrain for your outdoor adventures. There is defiantly a place for these style trailers and would love to hear how you put it to use. Thank you for taking the time to stop in, drop a comment and provide positive feedback. Stay hungry for adventure!
That's awesome! One of these years, I need to make it a priority to travel to one of the Overland Expos. All are a bit of a commute to get there, so it would be nice if there is a trip planned around it as well.
That’s awesome! I am glad I was able to help showcase TC and put you on the trail to a new trailer. Keep us posted if you end up purchasing one of these trailers!
They certainly are nice trailers. As far as pricing, TC Teardrop has a nice webpage for you to enter in the options you would like and get a price instantly. This will help you determine if it would be in your price range. As far as shipping to the UK, you would have to contact TC Teardrops directly. I am just a TH-camr that pulled the video together and not directly affiliated with TC and their shipping capabilities.
I hear ya! In the small camper world, they are always walking the line with trailer size and weight. I am not sure you could cut to 1600 lbs, but if you ordered this trailer without the extension platform, no tool box up front, and a simple build-out, you would be pretty close. Might be worth a conversation with Todd.
Would love to see that. All I wanna see is a basic trailer you can stand and sleep in at light weight. Basically a glorified cargo trailer I guess is what I want lol
Thank you. Currently we are not considering moving to the Terrain. It’s a great model option for many, but doesn’t necessarily fit our current camping needs.
Cool design but... having the axle that far back if you did put a small motorcycle on the front the tongue weight will be massive. Even without anything on the tongue the weight on the ball is high.
Absolutely! As Todd mentioned in the video, he works with the client and discusses what their goals/typical load will be. They adjust the axle location and where other systems are places, like batteries and water to balance the load over the axle, maintaining appropriate tongue weight. TC has a long track record of designing trailers to hold dual sport motorbikes , scooters, electric bikes on the front platform, even a Ural with side cart on a tandem trailer called the ISO.
@@FreysOnTheSide Yes, they are 😊. I'm having a hard time choosing one? From Cedar Ridge Camper or vistabule teardrop one?. So many many amazing teardrop models out there 🙏
@@Bluesky1ification I’d say having too many teardrops in the market might be a good problem to have. Keep doing to your research and learn what trailer will best fits your needs. Each will have their pros and cons based on your style of camping.
Not sure what this has to do with the Terrain. Starting cost twice as much. Completely different design. There are lots of nice trailers out there, including the Vega. But might as well say “check out the NuCamp,” or “”check out the Elon,” or “check out the Boreas,” or check out the (fill in the blank). This kind of comment borders on spam.

Todd and Carol are the best. One of the good ones out there!

Had to go over and check out the Terrain in person today. That just might be the one. Great video

Very cool trailer.
Absolutely! It’s cool seeing innovation based on platforms that have been proven successful.
Saw this at Overland East. My wife and I have definitely been interested in this.

I'm very interested. This is exactly what my wife and I were looking for in a trailer.

I would love a terrain, it's got a great look with practicality, but doubt I could aford one. Do you ship to the UK?

@FreysOnTheSide thank you
Would love to see something that’s maybe a tad smaller and around 1600lbs dry

FINALLY !!!!! 6 FOOT SIDES NEXT ???
Skies the limit! Well that and highway overpasses.
Would love to see that. All I wanna see is a basic trailer you can stand and sleep in at light weight. Basically a glorified cargo trailer I guess is what I want lol
Hey great video? Are you considering changing models?
Thank you. Currently we are not considering moving to the Terrain. It’s a great model option for many, but doesn’t necessarily fit our current camping needs.
What are the bed dimensions?
I believe it is a queen bed. 60in x 80in. But I would have to confirm with TC.
@@FreysOnTheSide you are close! Just shy of a queen, 58in x 78in
Everyone is an engineer
Even engineers.
Cool design but... having the axle that far back if you did put a small motorcycle on the front the tongue weight will be massive. Even without anything on the tongue the weight on the ball is high.

look into. THE VEGA 2.0 XT, Cedar Ridge Campers.
They are nice trailers indeed. I have seen a few of them at Overland Expos and they look like a quality built trailer.
@@FreysOnTheSide Yes, they are 😊. I'm having a hard time choosing one? From Cedar Ridge Camper or vistabule teardrop one?. So many many amazing teardrop models out there 🙏
