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!

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.

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!

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

Even engineers.

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 🙏

@@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.

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.

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.

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.

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! 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!

Absolutely! It’s cool seeing innovation based on platforms that have been proven successful.

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

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.

5x10 ORE

Thanks- I met the owners today at overland East and am seriously considering one now. Thanks for the video

Todd and Carol are amazing people. Their customer service is second to none, hands down. When you buy a TC you will find a great support family/community.

Hahah. I wish I could make that happen.

Awesome! Let’s gooooo!!!!!! How have y’all been?! Hope all is well.

We’re managing the rough seas of life! Thankfully, we are committed to getting away from those stresses more now than ever before! We have just made three new purchases: Bluetti AC180, FSR 6XL hub tent, & Tembo Tusk skottle! We are also adding more storage to our Rubicon…Hope y’all are doing well and would love to see y’all on the trail somewhere! Thanks for the video!!

Good questions and honestly has changed a bit with the current offerings. I think the AE model is very solid and frankly there are a few options we requested on our build that are incorporated in the AE build. If I were going to buy another one, I would pick the following options. AE model. Blackout - personal preference. Roof rack or platform, depending on what you envision you might carry, but defiantly on of them to support an awning. 60" Tool box. Extension, if you want to haul your bikes or have additional storage. I am not sure I would have it, but I know its good for a lot of people. Ploy Mattress Reading Lights Battery Plus Package. At minimum include solar charging. Plug in Galley for 12v Fridge 270 Awning Dometic Fridge Water Propane And if you do put in an order, be sure to tell them Frey's On The Side sent you. They will take good care of you.

@@FreysOnTheSide Thanks.

Over the years we certainly have fell in love with the outdoors. Luckily we did a lot of camping with our kids at a really young age and created a family brand around it, which they still love getting outside for adventure. I’ll admit though, as they grow it’s become harder and harder for us to get out as a family. Interest have change and there are more family obligations. That said, we still very much love adventuring together when we can find a spare weekend.

Thanks for the positive feedback. We are really excited to have these shirt available to the community.

Good questions. I can’t speak for all campgrounds, but in my experience the “tent” sites only have enough space to park one or two vehicles. Then there is a barricade (curb, rocks, etc) that protects the tent pad. So you may have space for your teardrop and tow vehicle in front of the barrier, but it might be inconvenient. We love dispersed camp to avoid the crowd but do enjoy a campground time to time. Traveling across the county with no plan, we often have to be flexible where we end up. Let me know if you have any other questions on camping, teardrops or other.

@@FreysOnTheSide thanks for the info. My intention is to camp at state parks and national parks ... ( we don't have many dispersed camp site out in eastern Canada but do want to go into RV parks like KOA to reset and do laundry during long trips.

That's awesome Drew. I looked at this challenge in a very similar way and use the goal as a motivator to get outdoors more. Similar to the 10,000 step counter. That said, not to take the eye off the end goal, but even if you fail the 1000 hours and spend more time outdoors, it's a win.

Thanks for the words of encouragement and perspective of your kids growing up. It definitely makes me appreciate all the moments we spend together. As the kids have grown, our set-up have changed, but the joy of being outdoors together is still so much fun. Visiting the National Parks is high on my list and would love to continue to check off parks. Yellowstone is awesome and defiantly will be back again. High on my list is the Grand Canyon.

Thank you!

Thanks Drew! Being a father is an amazing experience, but it certainly does not come without its challenges. Being flexible, patient and loving has shown great success on many aspects, but certainly has helped while out camping with the family.

I will definitely be adopting "Call Out" trips in this family. Love this Mark.

@@PlayingwithSticks It's fun but it requires everyone to be a bit forgiving and flexible. Good lessons all around.

Thanks Dude! Appreciate your feedback and for sparking a conversation. Personally, when the entire family is feeding on "spontaneous" we find ourself having the BEST experiences. I love your insight and certainly is an idea to expand upon with our family.

Great to hear from y'all. Hope all is well!

Living the dream! Miss you too! KOAR looked amazing as always.

@@FreysOnTheSide quite a few asked where you were!

Indeed. Fall camping is the best! We no longer have our TC, but are still very much teardrop fans. Right now we are just in the rooftop tent, but at some point we will get another TC or Travel Trailer. It has been a learning curve as the kiddos have grown.

@@FreysOnTheSide It is a huge learning curve. I have always camped as a kid and loved it. When I had my own family I knew I wanted to camp, we started out with tents just the wife and I, after the kids were born we got a travel trailer to control the atmosphere. As the kids grew we slowly moved back into the tenting world. The kids, now and when they were in their teens, wanted nothing to do with a trailer, they love to have tents and be on their own so, the wife and I got a TC. We have never fall or winter camped but that is something I am looking forward to do since our schedules have slowly started to open up.

@Yaesucurt What a great perspective and insight. We are still looking to figure out what system will be best for us next, but can envision our path very similar to yours. For me, the "lighthouse beacon" is spending time together outdoors together. Now as an insider for a person that post content on RUclips, this separates the audience and is difficult to build a community when systems are changing, but end of the day family first.

Great insight on awnings. They certainly have there pros and cons. Maybe I can find a hat that will cover the entire family.

You are welcome. Thanks for taking the time to drop a comment. Stay safe out there and stay hungry for adventure.

Really? Small world… That’s awesome. Be sure take it on a few adventures time to time. Hope it helps open the door for exploring the great outdoors, as it did for us.

You are welcome!

Wisconsin offers a great array of camping from campgrounds to National Forest. We love the State Parks system in Wisconsin. Around Appleton there is Hartman Creek, High Cliff and Peninsula. Peninsula being one of our favorites.

There certainly is a lot of "life" in life and carving out time for the great outdoors can be challenging, but we still very much appreciate our time together. Thanks for watching and the continued support our community.

Nice! I did use the facilities and noticed a great deal of stickers posted everywhere. Defiantly a cool location to visit and the premium gas had the Jeep running like a top. Thanks for stopping in and dropping a comments. Stay hungry for adventure.

@@FreysOnTheSide always hungry, just can’t get enough pto to satisfy said hunger

Good questions. Generally speaking the TC is cheaper than the NuCamp T@G. Prices vary, whether used, new or the options selected with the TC. TC has a really nice "build your trailer" online that pulls together a quote on the options that best fit your needs.

@@FreysOnTheSide oh, thanks for the answer .

The bed is 5 feet wide and the length is custom but can be made over 6’ if desired. Air conditioning is not an option direct from TC, but they can accommodate several after market designs.

You’re welcome.

Great choice!

Agreed! We will definitely have to plan a trip together soon! Thanks for stopping in and saying hi!

Thanks for stopping by and dropping a comment. It’s always interesting to hear how people stumble across our channel. There were certainly areas over the passes that I don’t think I would pull a trailer over again, but it was an amazing area to explore. As far as wood construction off-road trailers - TC Teardrop is a well constructed teardrop.

@@FreysOnTheSide what I like about TC over Hiker is that rear galley. I’m enjoying watching some other vids on your channel. Interested to see how you get along with the Tundra, but I’m sure it’ll be nothing except great. I have a Ram Power Wagon so I love seeing people do what you’re doing in big trucks.

@@That_Paul_Guy In our experience there are two places you spend majority of the time. One - inside when you sleep. Two - the galley, which arguably we spend the most time around camp. Having a easy to use galley is fundamental to teardrops. Thanks for check out some of our other videos. We honestly are a family based channel that enjoys sharing our story.

T@Gs are a well built trailer with a great name for quality. I think the best teardrop trailer is the one that fits your needs.

There are pull-out and dead end national forest roads that could work for camp along the way. In addition, you pass several designated campgrounds.

Thanks for the feedback. You be you.
