Awesome video. I love the trailer! Hate the arguing in the comment section. Someone always has to be a critic. It's an ugly trait, really. Anyway, thanks for posting this and again, awesome video and a fantastic trailer.
Huh? Ok lets break it down... #1 invested in this start up? Answer. I have not. I thought it was cool when I passed by at the expo. #2 GOD made this thing? Answer. WTF are you talking about? Are you typing...drunk? I remember my first beer lol. Focus man. focus!!!! #3 I met a retired marine Colonel who was tired of sleeping in the dirt, BULLSHIT they don't sleep in the dirt. Answer. OK bud here is where I know you never served with the Marines. Marines are the tip of the spear. They are all riflemen and they are led by officers and senior enlisted. I never said the man was a Colonel. You came up with that. As for Marine officers sleeping in the dirt...yes they do. A typical rifle "company" will have 5 or 6 officers leading roughly 150 Marines. (rifle platoon, weapons platoon, HQ) When they are in country and bullets are flying you can bet your ass they are in the dirt with their fellow Marines. Colonels - No...but 2nd LT, 1st LT, Captains....absolutely are in the dirt with their Marines. So why the hate and discontent bro?
These trailers seem quality but where I'm sold is the Gentleman doing the explaining. Jon seems extremely sincere and knowledgeable as well as Proud of the product. This was extremely refreshing. Thanks Jon!
Pistol Chronicles absolutely! DoDrop starts at 500lbs, up to about 900 as shown above. TerraDrop starts around 1200lbs and is closer to 1600-1700 fully outfitted.
Thanks for this video mixflip. For so long now, hardened camp trailers have been the purview of Australia. It is so nice to see American companies entering the market. I think that Oregon Trailer has made some smart choices, and I absolutely love the LineX exterior. The blackout, with just a hint of color from the decals, is awesomeness!
Im sure they could build a version 2.0 tiny camper but with a spot for a small galley? They are a small company who build basically custom products. You never know unless you ask?
0:50 That would be a perfect trailer for your rich Dog. 15 grand for that and your going to be crying some tear drops. I could probably build one twice the size for 7 grand.
Michael Tellurian I think you missed the part where he said this model was done to the extreme for the show. you can order it without the rhino lining top to bottom, no solar shower, no window covers, no dual doors (just one side only), no rotopaks, no tongue box, no roof rack, no full size spare, no awning, no recovery tools, no deep cycle battery etc....and you can save over $10,000+. this was just to show what you can do and to grab attention at the show. at least that's what I think their goal was?
Yep. I was just looking at an auto dealer's ad in the newspaper and one of the vehicles featured was a 2016 Jeep 4x4 for $14,999...the same price as this teardrop fully loaded!
Michael Tellurian why buy a house then? you can sleep in a tent. why buy a car? you can ride a bicycle to work. why buy beef or chicken? you can eat lettuce and tomatoes and carrots. why carry a gun? you can defend yourself with a $20 knife.
Never under estimate a knife vs a gun especially when you combine the total lack of gun skills vs a skilled or determined person with a blade. Why do you think cops are taught in the academy about the"Tueller drill"? A knife is easy to conceal, quick to deploy, never jams, never runs out of ammo and even an idiot with no skills can inflict deadly wounds just by going berserk on his victim. These cops are in uniform, in a marked patrol car, clearly have open carry guns and training to shoot them under stress...yet the knife attacker still got successful strikes in before he was stopped. Don't over estimate your abilities with a gun. Just because you carry one doesn't mean you won't get stabbed if attacked with a knife. th-cam.com/video/GfUDhd9JmXk/w-d-xo.html
I think the tents that fold down from the top of your car/Truck are best. Some bolt right to your cargo rack. And some replace your cargo rack. I have seen some really large ones.
Chris Tindall best is very subjective. my wife hates tent camping especially when the temp drips at midnight and the howling winds pick up. (this was the case at the 2016 expo lol)
We love RTT's, but there are certain things to consider, like once you're set up, you aren't taking any day trips or running off for supplies, without pulling all your gear back out, folding your tent back away, etc. Also zero insulation, no options for battery, stove, sink, etc... To each their own of course, but both markets are currently killing it in the overland industry, and for good reason.
True But a tent can stay at the site and a Regular Trailer as well. It's NOT the tear drop design or how quick you can pack up and go. It's the price ! plus Patriot Trailers are about the same price every bit as rugged and better equipped. better designed . I noticed you could not cast shade on a camper . even if you had all three slide outs out what 5 min per slide out and DAY TRIP BOUND. I just Don't see the value unless cute counts. As a guy I can hear it now. Where's the rest of Your trailer? when are you going to buy a real trailer? Or Excuse me but can i use your shower?
Chris Tindall I have noticed there is room for all styles and tastes in the overland market. some like jeeps, some like trucks, some like Subs. same goes for how you sleep and live in and around them. it's all about having fun and enjoying life I guess. I don't care for $30k Harleys but my friends do. we still have a blast regardless of what we ride.
Well I guess if you're the type of guy that's concerned that people will think your "trailer" is too small, then you are well outside our target audience. Good luck to ya!
I think these types of trailers are great for Wranglers since they don't have much cargo space. You kill 2 birds with one stone. You get cargo space and a clean warm place to sleep!
I'd build one with enough space for a small wood burner, a chimney, 2-4 batteries, inverter and as big of a solar panel you could fit. A water filtration system running off a pump would be nice too. I want full SHTF preparation. Inspiring but not enough for my needs.
You would think so, but it's not the case. This LineX coating is a 1/4" thick and has an impressive R-value. Underneath the LineX on the roof is 1.5" of rigid insulation captured between 3mm baltic birch plywood, so it all adds up to a very well insulated space. We were on the road with this thing for a week traveling through hot weather, and it was always cooler inside than it was outside (during the day anyway).
Base price on DoDrop is $5,500, and is as simple as it gets. 2 doors with windows, passive roof vent, basic wheels/tires, raw aluminum exterior. We don't have the Alpha version in our quote request yet, we are still catching up from the week away at the Expo! Don't hesitate to give us a call or an email with any other questions!
We never permanently install solar panels, partly because you generally want to park in the shade if possible, and also because the technology is moving so fast that whatever panel we install today will likely be obsolete in a couple years. Our solar package adds the necessary wiring, controller, and charging port, and our clients generally choose their own panel and cable to their liking, which can then be set in the sun at whatever angle you choose.
$5500 base package for a micro trailer crazy. Let me check I can buy a utility trailer that's actually functional 6' x 10" for under 3K. I don't need your box on the front, with space that is many times larger and you can put a motorcycle inside of it and still have room. I think people get caught up on micro size with a maxi price and think it's correct.
We can get this little fella higher, but we don't want to get it so high that you lose your ability to get in and out easily. And we can absolutely match your wheels/tires.
I didn't have much luck on your website. I've heard my Prius is capable of towing 1000 pounds, even if the owners manual says "no." What the weight of your smaller units.. (Not off-road of course)
Sorry about our website not getting you the info you need. Our base model DoDrop is right at 500lbs, and can get even lighter if you want to decrease wheel/tire size. A Prius can and will tow it quite easily! If you have any other questions, give us an email at sales@oregontrailer.net
What about the thousands of guys who already own a Jeep Wrangler? This would be perfect for those guys since they have no cargo space and can't use a truck camper.
ouch 15k was expecing a generator, minifridge, 20 gallon water tank, sink and a 2 burner stove for that price. not to my taste but more power to whoever wants that package.
Gerry Nightingale ok Gerry you are becoming kind of a douche bag now. we are positive and generally happy people in this community. negative folks get blocked after they earn it.
Gerry Nightingale is clearly a top-tier troll, hell bent on looking as insane as possible, and he is doing a bang-up job of it. People who don't understand anything about material quality and craftsmanship should definitely do some research before commenting on the expense of our trailers. Kia and Mercedes both build cars, but they are in entirely different leagues, the same exists within the camper manufacturing industry.
Apples and Oranges, friend. Try to take a full size trailer down a 4x4 trail behind your family SUV. And we fully support the DIY building community, though I do have to say, a good percentage of our clients are folks who built their own to start and had enough issues with them that they upgraded to our campers.
I saw an RPOD camper for $15,000. I like it for RV camping where there is a lot of room to move it around. But for exploring 20 miles deep into the back country on unmaintained trails with fallen trees every mile...I don't think the RPOD would last 2 seasons. But I do like the RPOD as a mini travel trailer. Who doesn't like a stand up shower!!!
John Augustyniak you could buy a truck bed nylon tent by Napier outdoors for $300. but that's not really going to give you the options this trailer gives you. heck you can just throw a backpack on and walk into the forest....why even bother with a vehicle and a tent. just buy a $10 axe and chop down some trees and build a shelter.
And you could easily spend $15k on a ring with a shiny rock in it. Everything is relative, friend! People are too quick to undervalue superior material quality and craftsmanship!
You would think so, but it's not the case. This LineX coating is a 1/4" thick and has an impressive R-value. Underneath the LineX on the roof is 1.5" of rigid insulation captured between 3mm baltic birch plywood, so it all adds up to a very well insulated space. We were on the road with this thing for a week traveling through hot weather, and it was always cooler inside than it was outside (during the day anyway).
I can`t get the concept. Small for even two persons, no w.c. no shower, no kitchen. If there are no advantages I prefer a cheap and light tent, in literally two seconds I have mine open.
newhuskytwenty until it rains or snows or both. I walked around in mud all day then had to crawl into a ground tent and somehow get dry and warm. tent camping is fun when the wearher is perfect. tent camping sucks when the weather shits on you.
Sleeping in a nice warm dry cozy bed when a major storm rolls in doesn't seem useless to me. I have been caught in a ground tent in the mud and snow before. It wasn't fun and I was envious of the folks high and dry in their tear drops.
Don't buy one! Build one. Way way less then $15000 and you can personalise it. I mean it looks cool and all but the practicality of this compared to a $5000 4x4 camping trailer second hand and then tricked out would trump this any day.
Brendon Moore they actually said this one starts at $5500 brand new. you can trick it out piece by piece over time. I might try and buy a wells cargo tiny cargo trailer and build it into a camper just for fun.
Have you been to an RV dealer lately? A little guy T@G tear drop sells for about $15,000. Tear drops from Expedition Overland sell for $20,000. $5,500 is a deal.
DONT PAY ANY ATTENTION TO ME , THAT PROBABLY SOUNDED RUDE IM JUST AN OLD WOMAN AND I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO THINK ABOUT DOING THAT AGAIN . LAST TIME I CAMPED WAS TWENTY YEARS AGO . AGAIN IM SO SORRY FOR THAT COMING OFF LIKE THAT . FORGIVE ME . IFI WAS GOING TO BUY ONE ITS ONE OF THE BETTER MADE TEARDROPS . LOOKS VERY WELL MADE AND STRONG FOR BACK COUNTRY .
No worries. I think these types of campers are very user specific. If you are a casual camper this might not be the camper for you. a pop up tent camper might be a better option. But if you are adventurous and a bit of a back country explorer then this might a very good option especially if a bad storm rolls in.
bipola telly a person who spends lots of time camping doesn't see it as pointless. there are bugs and snakes on the ground and wolves, mountain lions and bears in the forest...sleeping in a nylon ground tent at age 40 with a wife and kids is more fun and comfortable in one of these. plus they come in handy when the weather turns bad. plus it's a cargo trailer when you aren't sleeping in it so you can carry more supplies on long trips.
It's certainly not for everyone, but it is perfect for many people. Our campers are for people who are sick of packing their rigs for every trip (and unpacking when they return), who don't enjoy setting up/tearing down tents, air mattresses, etc, who appreciate a warm, safe, dry spot with a comfortable bed each evening, etc. We have been booked out at least a year for 4 years running, it seems plenty of people seem to see the point in a camper like ours... But once again, to each their own.
Cool trailer, but...... All trailers have the same problems. They are far too expensive. They are far too heavy. They are too much work. This trailer should cost around $3,000. And mass production could get it there. Then it can compare with sleeping in the back of your truck, or rooftop tent, or normal tent. So pricing it more competitively will sell more, and bring the price down. Then it will send more. And the price can come down. and it will sell better. Which will mean profits can be better. This trailer is not too much work, because it is only a strong rugged tent, already pitched, and attached to your truck.
it's interesting but no...I am seeking full time work & to care for myself with a decent wage & make people respect me & keep their flies closed. OFFENDED!
Awesome video. I love the trailer! Hate the arguing in the comment section. Someone always has to be a critic. It's an ugly trait, really. Anyway, thanks for posting this and again, awesome video and a fantastic trailer.
This guy gets it. Thanks so much for the positivity!
Thanks for watching and being cool.
Nothing like a small solid black box in the blazing sun for comfort!
I was thinking the same. Stupid hot.
Nothing like driving 20 miles deep into the forest...and not parking their camper under a group of shade trees!
Huh? Ok lets break it down...
#1 invested in this start up? Answer. I have not. I thought it was cool when I passed by at the expo.
#2 GOD made this thing? Answer. WTF are you talking about? Are you typing...drunk? I remember my first beer lol. Focus man. focus!!!!
#3 I met a retired marine Colonel who was tired of sleeping in the dirt, BULLSHIT they don't sleep in the dirt. Answer. OK bud here is where I know you never served with the Marines. Marines are the tip of the spear. They are all riflemen and they are led by officers and senior enlisted. I never said the man was a Colonel. You came up with that. As for Marine officers sleeping in the dirt...yes they do. A typical rifle "company" will have 5 or 6 officers leading roughly 150 Marines. (rifle platoon, weapons platoon, HQ) When they are in country and bullets are flying you can bet your ass they are in the dirt with their fellow Marines. Colonels - No...but 2nd LT, 1st LT, Captains....absolutely are in the dirt with their Marines.
So why the hate and discontent bro?
Whats that even suppose to mean? You're an special person I bet aren't you. Key board commando.
Craig Deany what is "what" supposed to mean? I'm no keyboard commando...or where you talking about someone else?
anyone else drooling over the beauty of these trailers :D
Cuppy Pasquale me!!!
Oregon Trailer continues to grow and mature. It is nice to see!
Thank you!
Mixflip deserves way more subs. Always posting quality, informative content in simple presentation.
Freedom Child thanks for the kind words.
These trailers seem quality but where I'm sold is the Gentleman doing the explaining. Jon seems extremely sincere and knowledgeable as well as Proud of the product. This was extremely refreshing. Thanks Jon!
Thanks for the tour. These guys build nice stuff with a lot of clever ideas.
As always, great vid Brother.
Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks so much for the feature! Love your channel, man!
OregonTrailR my pleasure. i love learning about all the options we have for camping.
can a jeep JK wrangler tow these? hoping they are below 2000 lbs
Pistol Chronicles absolutely! DoDrop starts at 500lbs, up to about 900 as shown above. TerraDrop starts around 1200lbs and is closer to 1600-1700 fully outfitted.
any dealers in Southern California you recommend. I have a much larger trailer id like to trade to get this one
Any features available for the treatment of dysentery? ;)
That guy is a great ambassador for his company. Enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing it.
My God, they look so much fun! Awesome find dude.
Thank you for the post.
Thanks for this video mixflip. For so long now, hardened camp trailers have been the purview of Australia. It is so nice to see American companies entering the market. I think that Oregon Trailer has made some smart choices, and I absolutely love the LineX exterior. The blackout, with just a hint of color from the decals, is awesomeness!
Thanks so much Scott, we really appreciate that!
I love these videos. Nicely done.
Thanks for watching.
I hope you guys will be at overland expo pacific northwest.
Oregon TrailR guys do fantastic work.
Thank you!
On Pinterest there are articles from people that build these mini-trailers for themselves. For a fraction of the price and WAY more custom.
The do drop is a dream trailer to me...I'd prefer to have a kitchen galley at the back, but everything else is great
Im sure they could build a version 2.0 tiny camper but with a spot for a small galley? They are a small company who build basically custom products. You never know unless you ask?
Great channel and my favorite trailer after looking off and on for about a year. Hope to get the terradrop with a rtt someday.
awesome video and very cool trailer, been looking for something like this for camping.
Those trailers are awesome!!
0:50 That would be a perfect trailer for your rich Dog. 15 grand for that and your going to be crying some tear drops. I could probably build one twice the size for 7 grand.
Totally want one of these now!!
Very nice! Thank you.
very cool - starting to look at these and other ones like it...
It looks pretty cool, but $15,000 to get out of the rain? I think a $300 tent does the same thing.
Michael Tellurian I think you missed the part where he said this model was done to the extreme for the show. you can order it without the rhino lining top to bottom, no solar shower, no window covers, no dual doors (just one side only), no rotopaks, no tongue box, no roof rack, no full size spare, no awning, no recovery tools, no deep cycle battery etc....and you can save over $10,000+. this was just to show what you can do and to grab attention at the show. at least that's what I think their goal was?
I'll amend my comment for you: $5000 to get out of the rain? I think a $300 tent does the same thing.
Yep. I was just looking at an auto dealer's ad in the newspaper and one of the vehicles featured was a 2016 Jeep 4x4 for $14,999...the same price as this teardrop fully loaded!
Michael Tellurian why buy a house then? you can sleep in a tent. why buy a car? you can ride a bicycle to work. why buy beef or chicken? you can eat lettuce and tomatoes and carrots. why carry a gun? you can defend yourself with a $20 knife.
Never under estimate a knife vs a gun especially when you combine the total lack of gun skills vs a skilled or determined person with a blade. Why do you think cops are taught in the academy about the"Tueller drill"? A knife is easy to conceal, quick to deploy, never jams, never runs out of ammo and even an idiot with no skills can inflict deadly wounds just by going berserk on his victim.
These cops are in uniform, in a marked patrol car, clearly have open carry guns and training to shoot them under stress...yet the knife attacker still got successful strikes in before he was stopped. Don't over estimate your abilities with a gun. Just because you carry one doesn't mean you won't get stabbed if attacked with a knife.
th-cam.com/video/GfUDhd9JmXk/w-d-xo.html
great video. I wish I had the money to buy one. have a great day
Very nice! I hope they start doing the Linex in different colors.
i sure like that black teardrop . love to get one to pull behind my wrangler . great set up.
Perfect for Wranglers and other vehicles that can't tow big trailers.
I think the tents that fold down from the top of your car/Truck are best.
Some bolt right to your cargo rack.
And some replace your cargo rack.
I have seen some really large ones.
Chris Tindall best is very subjective. my wife hates tent camping especially when the temp drips at midnight and the howling winds pick up. (this was the case at the 2016 expo lol)
We love RTT's, but there are certain things to consider, like once you're set up, you aren't taking any day trips or running off for supplies, without pulling all your gear back out, folding your tent back away, etc. Also zero insulation, no options for battery, stove, sink, etc... To each their own of course, but both markets are currently killing it in the overland industry, and for good reason.
True But a tent can stay at the site and a Regular Trailer as well.
It's NOT the tear drop design or how quick you can pack up and go.
It's the price !
plus Patriot Trailers are about the same price every bit as rugged and better equipped. better designed .
I noticed you could not cast shade on a camper .
even if you had all three slide outs out what 5 min per slide out and DAY TRIP BOUND.
I just Don't see the value unless cute counts. As a guy I can hear it now.
Where's the rest of Your trailer?
when are you going to buy a real trailer?
Or Excuse me but can i use your shower?
Chris Tindall I have noticed there is room for all styles and tastes in the overland market. some like jeeps, some like trucks, some like Subs. same goes for how you sleep and live in and around them. it's all about having fun and enjoying life I guess.
I don't care for $30k Harleys but my friends do. we still have a blast regardless of what we ride.
Well I guess if you're the type of guy that's concerned that people will think your "trailer" is too small, then you are well outside our target audience. Good luck to ya!
AWESOME VIDEO!! I just bought a new Wrangler and I think I see one of these in my future!!!
Give them a call and tell them mixflip sent you!
I think these types of trailers are great for Wranglers since they don't have much cargo space. You kill 2 birds with one stone. You get cargo space and a clean warm place to sleep!
I'd build one with enough space for a small wood burner, a chimney, 2-4 batteries, inverter and as big of a solar panel you could fit. A water filtration system running off a pump would be nice too. I want full SHTF preparation.
Inspiring but not enough for my needs.
Very cool!
It looks cool but being all black doesn't get really hot?
You would think so, but it's not the case. This LineX coating is a 1/4" thick and has an impressive R-value. Underneath the LineX on the roof is 1.5" of rigid insulation captured between 3mm baltic birch plywood, so it all adds up to a very well insulated space. We were on the road with this thing for a week traveling through hot weather, and it was always cooler inside than it was outside (during the day anyway).
OregonTrailR Is there a white version of LineX?
There are different colors available. And, it can be painted to any color you prefer.
OregonTrailR What is the base price and configuration? I couldn't find it on y'alls website
Base price on DoDrop is $5,500, and is as simple as it gets. 2 doors with windows, passive roof vent, basic wheels/tires, raw aluminum exterior. We don't have the Alpha version in our quote request yet, we are still catching up from the week away at the Expo! Don't hesitate to give us a call or an email with any other questions!
I have been looking at trailer camping like this. Just buy like a Uhaul trailer and some work and you have a pretty good idea.
Solar panels? Black would suck in the heat. Nice product. Quality costs. By cheap get cheap
I bet they make a desert tan rhino lining. I have seen OD green lining at SEMA.
between the top of the trailer and the roof rack put a solar panel or two to keep the battery charged.
We never permanently install solar panels, partly because you generally want to park in the shade if possible, and also because the technology is moving so fast that whatever panel we install today will likely be obsolete in a couple years. Our solar package adds the necessary wiring, controller, and charging port, and our clients generally choose their own panel and cable to their liking, which can then be set in the sun at whatever angle you choose.
OregonTrailR sounds good to me.
$5500 base package for a micro trailer crazy. Let me check I can buy a utility trailer that's actually functional 6' x 10" for under 3K. I don't need your box on the front, with space that is many times larger and you can put a motorcycle inside of it and still have room. I think people get caught up on micro size with a maxi price and think it's correct.
I like the mini...but my jeep has a 4 inch lift. it needs a lift to match. plus, can you match tires and wheels to the tow vehicle?
We can get this little fella higher, but we don't want to get it so high that you lose your ability to get in and out easily. And we can absolutely match your wheels/tires.
15 Grand to bake in the all black heavy duty one? Whoa.
I saw OD green linex at SEMA. I bet someone makes a desert tan or white linex?
Why lug that thing around when you can have a tent with way more space. Oh it's probably for people who are too scared to sleep in a tent.
Taking the tear drop to the logical extreme.
I agree
Those are great! I wonder if you can get one in OD green?
I didn't have much luck on your website. I've heard my Prius is capable of towing 1000 pounds, even if the owners manual says "no." What the weight of your smaller units.. (Not off-road of course)
Sorry about our website not getting you the info you need. Our base model DoDrop is right at 500lbs, and can get even lighter if you want to decrease wheel/tire size. A Prius can and will tow it quite easily! If you have any other questions, give us an email at sales@oregontrailer.net
Good vid Mix....great picture quality --what camera (or phone) are you using?
I use a Gopro Hero 4 silver set on 30fps. Its smooth because I use an EVO GP Pro 3 axis gimbal stabilizer. Thanks for noticing. Its an amazing combo!
$5500 insanity.i could put a hard cover over my pickup bed and a foam pad on the floor a helluva a lot cheaper then that just to sleep in.
What about the thousands of guys who already own a Jeep Wrangler? This would be perfect for those guys since they have no cargo space and can't use a truck camper.
love the vids!
ouch 15k was expecing a generator, minifridge, 20 gallon water tank, sink and a 2 burner stove for that price. not to my taste but more power to whoever wants that package.
Awesome!
For 15k I can buy a used 4x4 truck and a 15ft pull rv camper or even bigger...
It is soo big I can even sleep with my dog! hauahuahauhauhauha
For 15k you can tool your shop and build your own line.. Nuts
I would need a shop first. How much do shops lease for? Or should I buy one? And how much is it if a buy a shop?
Gerry Nightingale ok Gerry you are becoming kind of a douche bag now. we are positive and generally happy people in this community. negative folks get blocked after they earn it.
+mixflip a garage isn't just for parking cars.. this is not a 15k build..not even remotely close
Gerry Nightingale is clearly a top-tier troll, hell bent on looking as insane as possible, and he is doing a bang-up job of it. People who don't understand anything about material quality and craftsmanship should definitely do some research before commenting on the expense of our trailers. Kia and Mercedes both build cars, but they are in entirely different leagues, the same exists within the camper manufacturing industry.
Gerry Nightingale ummmmmm....okkkkk....put the keyboard down and walk away. everything is going to be ok.
whew..... that was close.
Красивые прицепы , коллеги.
very cool but 15g I could buy a full size trailer or build one for way lessss
Apples and Oranges, friend. Try to take a full size trailer down a 4x4 trail behind your family SUV. And we fully support the DIY building community, though I do have to say, a good percentage of our clients are folks who built their own to start and had enough issues with them that they upgraded to our campers.
IS A LIL PRICY
I think the $5,000 version is about right. I was shopping for a 12ft toy hauler that can't go off road and they are easily $5,000
rpod is looking better and better after hearing this price
I saw an RPOD camper for $15,000. I like it for RV camping where there is a lot of room to move it around. But for exploring 20 miles deep into the back country on unmaintained trails with fallen trees every mile...I don't think the RPOD would last 2 seasons. But I do like the RPOD as a mini travel trailer. Who doesn't like a stand up shower!!!
sweet
very creative. You can pull it behind a civic!
Or a Mini Cooper.
$15k???? I am pretty sure you could get a pop up camper for ur truckbed cheaper
John Augustyniak you could buy a truck bed nylon tent by Napier outdoors for $300. but that's not really going to give you the options this trailer gives you. heck you can just throw a backpack on and walk into the forest....why even bother with a vehicle and a tent. just buy a $10 axe and chop down some trees and build a shelter.
And you could easily spend $15k on a ring with a shiny rock in it. Everything is relative, friend! People are too quick to undervalue superior material quality and craftsmanship!
15K for something not bigger than a 2 person tent where i cant even sit upright ? thats a WAY overpriced trailer
They make a $5000 version too.
like the "mini"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)
me too
Woooooow! 😱😊👍
Cool, but it must be hot as a bitch when its in the sun with the all black coating
You would think so, but it's not the case. This LineX coating is a 1/4" thick and has an impressive R-value. Underneath the LineX on the roof is 1.5" of rigid insulation captured between 3mm baltic birch plywood, so it all adds up to a very well insulated space. We were on the road with this thing for a week traveling through hot weather, and it was always cooler inside than it was outside (during the day anyway).
OregonTrailR Is this your first attempt at spraying LineX directly to plywood?
Huh. That's pretty cool. I still can't afford one though lol, but I like to dream
they've bumped their head and so has anyone who gives them 15k for that trailer...nice but way way way over priced
Well we have a year-long waiting list of people who have put deposits on custom builds, so I guess the head-wound thing is really going around...
badass!
Where's the bathroom?
The same place it is when you ground tent.
Can you tell me what model of Mercedes is parked besides this "tear drop", please!
it's too expensive
Cheaper than a sprinter van though
Yeah because you need mud terrain tires on a non driving axle? I'm sure regular trailer tires wouldn't get you out of the mud!
Most guys use same exact tires on trailers in case of an emergency on the main vehicle. They act as spares.
LOL nice camper!!
That Ships Captain was paid to do that to Our Navy Ship
I can`t get the concept. Small for even two persons, no w.c. no shower, no kitchen. If there are no advantages I prefer a cheap and light tent, in literally two seconds I have mine open.
newhuskytwenty until it rains or snows or both. I walked around in mud all day then had to crawl into a ground tent and somehow get dry and warm. tent camping is fun when the wearher is perfect. tent camping sucks when the weather shits on you.
i like the channel but please get a better mic. to much wind noise. only complaint.
👍🏻
Is it me or is that about useless?
Sleeping in a nice warm dry cozy bed when a major storm rolls in doesn't seem useless to me. I have been caught in a ground tent in the mud and snow before. It wasn't fun and I was envious of the folks high and dry in their tear drops.
👍👍
Don't buy one! Build one. Way way less then $15000 and you can personalise it.
I mean it looks cool and all but the practicality of this compared to a $5000 4x4 camping trailer second hand and then tricked out would trump this any day.
Brendon Moore they actually said this one starts at $5500 brand new. you can trick it out piece by piece over time. I might try and buy a wells cargo tiny cargo trailer and build it into a camper just for fun.
mixflip yeah missed that. Still expensive. You obviously know what I'm getting at though ;) nothing is as satisfying as building your own toys :)
Don't think that chunky guy could get in
Dilly Dally Not cool dude, not cool
thats too much 5500 that crazy . 2900 is what i thought
Have you been to an RV dealer lately? A little guy T@G tear drop sells for about $15,000. Tear drops from Expedition Overland sell for $20,000. $5,500 is a deal.
DONT PAY ANY ATTENTION TO ME , THAT PROBABLY SOUNDED RUDE IM JUST AN OLD WOMAN AND I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO THINK ABOUT DOING THAT AGAIN . LAST TIME I CAMPED WAS TWENTY YEARS AGO . AGAIN IM SO SORRY FOR THAT COMING OFF LIKE THAT . FORGIVE ME . IFI WAS GOING TO BUY ONE ITS ONE OF THE BETTER MADE TEARDROPS . LOOKS VERY WELL MADE AND STRONG FOR BACK COUNTRY .
No worries. I think these types of campers are very user specific. If you are a casual camper this might not be the camper for you. a pop up tent camper might be a better option. But if you are adventurous and a bit of a back country explorer then this might a very good option especially if a bad storm rolls in.
it's nicely made but pointless.... isn't it?
i don't know....
bipola telly a person who spends lots of time camping doesn't see it as pointless. there are bugs and snakes on the ground and wolves, mountain lions and bears in the forest...sleeping in a nylon ground tent at age 40 with a wife and kids is more fun and comfortable in one of these. plus they come in handy when the weather turns bad. plus it's a cargo trailer when you aren't sleeping in it so you can carry more supplies on long trips.
It's certainly not for everyone, but it is perfect for many people. Our campers are for people who are sick of packing their rigs for every trip (and unpacking when they return), who don't enjoy setting up/tearing down tents, air mattresses, etc, who appreciate a warm, safe, dry spot with a comfortable bed each evening, etc. We have been booked out at least a year for 4 years running, it seems plenty of people seem to see the point in a camper like ours... But once again, to each their own.
Cool trailer, but......
All trailers have the same problems.
They are far too expensive.
They are far too heavy.
They are too much work.
This trailer should cost around $3,000. And mass production could get it there. Then it can compare with sleeping in the back of your truck, or rooftop tent, or normal tent. So pricing it more competitively will sell more, and bring the price down. Then it will send more. And the price can come down. and it will sell better. Which will mean profits can be better.
This trailer is not too much work, because it is only a strong rugged tent, already pitched, and attached to your truck.
an brand new empty cargo trailer made for just the street will cost you $3000.
And.........................everyone died of dysentery
lol! We played that game in school as well...
it's interesting but no...I am seeking full time work & to care for myself with a decent wage & make people respect me & keep their flies closed. OFFENDED!
