Classic example of: "If you can dream it, you can build it." These teardrops provide a very practical application, with options way beyond the scope of simple teardrop camping. Nice job!
I thought so too. I love to see people pushing the envelope. Thanks for watching!
This is great option for smaller vehicles or those with lesser towing capacity. Such a cool, forward-thinking design!
Thank you for watching, I really appreciated the opportunity to show their story.
Fascinating. Very nicely done. I was interested immediately and stayed interested. Can't wait to find out more.
The price jumped crazy but its an awesome rig!
I loved your talking head segment this time!! Give us more of that!! Great information too. Using your models and concise scientific information I am one step closer to camping this summer.
I just wanted to play with toys! lol
I want one!!! Perfect for this sweet little grannie! 😍😍👏👏👏👏👏
Nice!
This hits all the marks for my hyper miler camping. I made my own rn with a popup tent and there's just not enough interior room, and it's really bad offroad. I can't believe someone made exactly what I need.
That’s exciting to hear. I hope it works out, these things will be collectors one day.
Weight, aerodynamic, hardtop all the things I have been looking for to tow behind my motorcycle. Under 300 pounds dry gives me 200 pounds of stuff behind my 1200 pound motorcycle. Awesome!
Awesome trailer, price has gotten out of hand though.
Wow, it seems like they really have thought of everything. super impressive design and amazing the work they do in a relatively small workshop!
It was a lot of fun. There's something for everyone, I'm thinking this will definitely be the one for some.
So great to see a light weight nicely sculpted trailer. First thing that came to mind was the Sylvan Sport GO camper. I always loved them and still do. They come in at 840 lbs.
Great stuff. Thank you for taking the time to make the road trip and give us a tour of their shop.
The custom made large porta band was super cool to see. I love mine set up on a SWAG 2.0 table.
Mark (& Teresa)
It was so much fun! I’ll definitely take another look and the Sylvan Sport Go, I recall seeing one but will have to check it out again.
Thanks for swinging by, I hope people who read this hop over and check out your great channel!
@@DIYOutdoorLife Thank You.
Genius design!
I agree, they’re very cool.
Very Cool Indeed Thanks Brian!
Thanks for swinging by!
Wow...WOW!!! I have prototyped a few different trailers and I gotta say this is BEAUTIFUL and well designed!!! I wish them the best and hope they do very well with this crazy RV economy as I think bigger trailers and full size RV's are about to hit the wall. THANK YOU for sharing their dream and channel. I didn't see a great deal of content and commenting wasn't allowed on the Vids I watched, so if you can let them know I LOVE what I saw.... thank you again!!!
That’s great to hear! They’re amazing people and I know they’ll have a ton of success. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I remember seeing these a good while ago. Could have been prior to actually being for sale. I knew they would be beyond my budget, but I loved them.This was really interesting to get a deeper look. Thank you for the cool aerodynamics lesson too. I always learn something on this channel.
As always, I appreciate you swinging by and contributing. It’s really nice to hear you enjoy the content.
Video just started ... Already see it's brilliant.
👍
Love the video. This is the first true light weight design I have seen! Congrats to the designer. I am planning a very light weight teardrop build myself for tow behind my Tesla Model Y.
Nice, it’s really exciting to see all of the people towing with EV‘s. Take photos and keep us in the loop!
Next level design, love it!
It’s really impressive, hope you see one in person some time.
Great teardrop.
I was pretty excited to check it out!
I tow my teardrop (little guy)with a Tesla so this type of trailer really intrigues my interest.
I’d love to hear more about your set up. Any long trips? Charge at campgrounds?
@@DIYOutdoorLife we live on an island (Vancouver Island) on the west coast of British Columbia which provide plenty of places to explore without having to travel great distances. Which is good because the charging infrastructure isn’t great here. We also like to camp at provincial campsites, which don’t usually offer electrical hookups, as opposed to private campsites. Once cross border travel restrictions relax we’d like to head down the Oregon coast. A trip that distance will be a good test, but I don’t think will be a major issue with the abundance of super charging network options there are. Towing even a small trailer like ours of around 1200 lbs fully loaded affects range of the vehicle quite substantially. Our vehicle, with approximately 300 miles of range is cut down to around 200 miles when towing. I think a trailer like the one you featured in this video would help greatly in this area.
@@craigbeattie5209 exciting times! Did you ever get the email I sent you? I used the address you left on the coffee page.
@@DIYOutdoorLife I did thanks!
Perhaps I didn’t receive your email. I went back and saw you thanked me for my support and you’d send me an email but don’t see anything beyond that
Love the looks of the new design. As a retired Sprinkler Fitter. I would to see them add a Fire Sprinkler System to there Buliding.
Nice catch, safety first!
That’s a cool teardrop. Thank you for showing us 🤙
I thought so. Def out of the box.
@@DIYOutdoorLife I’m excited to see what people do with the platform.
Great video! Great teardrop
Thank you, I appreciate you swinging by!
💥 fantastic info & review, 🤯
Thanks for watching! I thought it was a really cool trailer to share. Angel and Laura are great!
CN we purchae directly from the factury?
That’s the only way, yes. Thanks for watching.
so awesome! I love innovation! Totally getting an EV when I can afford it also :)
Me too… might look for a huge hybrid for now
What is the max add on allowable weight
Depends on the model, the axle sumo combo is good for 2,000 pound total
Genial! BRAVO, BRAVO!
:-)
Outstanding vid! Tho I would rather have a full hard side, this is a great way to get out there and enjoy camping.....Thank You Earth Traveler!
So many great choices for people, I wish I could try them all!
How wide are they?? Pull behind a Goldwing?? My trike wheels are 5 feet end to end of tires. I would love try them out !! Looks really Kwel !!
You’ll have to check out on their website, they keep changing how they’re building their campers. They’re pretty much custom built, I’m sure they can work with you.
Beautiful. Only downfall is the price. Read an article that mentioned $30,000. Say it’s not so. Basically a tent on wheels but the price of a full size trailer with all the amenities.
Unfortunately, the price SKYROCKETED after I filmed this. These trailers are awesome, but they were no where near this price when this video came out.
Would I be able to pull this trailer with my Goldwing? It has an 1833cc boxer engine. Ppl call them a Civic on 2 wheels! That would be incredible if they could. I wanna go on a year long camping adventure in about 2 years!
That sounds like an awesome adventure. I know it’s possible but you’d have to compare the specs of the finalized trailer with the bikes braking capability.
Happy camping!
My first thought was what happens when it rains? Do they put a fly over the entire thing to prevent the water from channeling in that double hinged roof? Then I saw the price... They're very proud of the product!
I Think I'll buy a trailer from harbor freight, bolt a roof top storage container, load it up with my 10x20 tent and all my camping gear and save about $37,000.
Just get a hotel…lol
I could stay in a hotel for a long time for that money 😂
Take a shot every time the word trailer is used… ❤
LoL… yikes
Kudos for the innovative use of materials and lightweight design, but there are just so many compromises and odd design choices. Can’t see ever wanting one. No galley, not hard sided, stand up room is in weird places where you wouldn’t really use it, lack of storage. Appeal of small camper is having a kitchen ready to go, and nice secure place to sleep that doesn’t flap in the wind and is secure against animals, can be heated, and has lots of storage plus roof rack for toys. This just misses on every point that matters to me.
I can see that for sure. I was thinking about how important set up time is for me. I love that there’s something for everyone and I’m happy to see some cool innovation.
Thanks for watching!
The expansion of the walls, front and back roof is optional so "no flap in the wind" you just simply close the teardrop if it gets windy ( not like the old fashion pop-up) this one could be use both ways (close or open). Can be heated in many ways, It has 5" depth of storage through out the floor, the frunk has 14" of storage, the toys can be store inside while on the road to your destination as it pretty much serve as a utility trailer as well. Many cool portable gadgets this days, kitchenettes, batteries, water tanks, toilets, etc. - Portable= the freedom to take or leave it, to move it around, to customize your next adventure, camping or road trip, etc. This is mostly for environmentally friendly ppl who wants to leave a small carbon footprint, travel light on the road, skip the hotels not necessarily just for camping. Minimalist, adventurous and self sufficient. Owners of electrical vehicles who wants to extend their driving range maybe going up the rocky mountains.
@@DIYOutdoorLife Yes is great to know there is something for everyone!
Agreed, that's basically what I was going to comment on. I would also be concerned that a high wind could get underneath the roof wings and lift or toss it. Lightweight trailers are becoming more popular and there are others that are morr durable.
Yes, the lightweight construction is super, it has some real neat inventive features...
but a simpler hard sided and hard topped design would be welcome, and likely cheaper...
For something with pop top standing room and fold out beds, something like the sylvansport go is even smaller and lighter...
Interesting. Although for a slightly different market. I had worked on some similar ideas. Very clever design though.
Nice, I love the design but I have different needs as well. Thanks for watching.
Looks like a tent on a trailer. I do that.
I’ve done that too. Nice platform for tent and more storage room.
@@DIYOutdoorLife I bring my motorcycle on the trailer and set up camp on the trailer.
@@Time-Traveller-2025 nice, that’s a fun set up
I'm a two room ⛺️ and generator type guy, but this is cool!
It’s a pretty sweet set up! Thanks for watching.
They need to make an even smaller version for a motorcycle 🏍️
That would be awesome.
Absolutely RIDICULOUS PRICE !
Yea, it climbed fast
Do they make one for motorcycles?
They should, check out their website to see! That would be cool.
Awesome design and innovative features , definitely stands out compared to other manufacturers of teardrop campers . Just wish I could afford the price though , maybe in the future whenever they grow and expand the manufacturing process the price might come down somewhat hopefully 🤞
I’ve been looking at other teardrops, and I must say this is the best teardrop I’ve seen so far as design and features.. 👍
I agree, the design is really impressive! Since making this video, I saw the price of this trailer quadruple. I know it’s supply and demand, so as you say, I hope to see them catch up and lower prices.
Thank you for swing by and commenting!
Will these be available in australia?
I believe so, you’ll have to check the website. I’m quite certain he had sold one to someone from Australia when I was there.
$38,000 and $24,000....they must be out of their minds.
😯
It would be great if you could get one that could be towed by a bike
It weighs less at its base than some of the rickshaw’s that people pull with those 3-wheel tric’s…lol
I think that would be pretty cool!
I have a trike and would love to do some camping on it. I am 67, so having something light weight would be great.
@@annastevenson3993 that’s too cool… would love to see a video of that!
I own a Ural and looking for the trailer for camping. I was hoping your question has some good answers.
Loving the content. Playing with sticks better watch out same with cosmo haha. Hahahahaha.
Haha… thank you so much for that. Those guys are legends, I gotta lot to learn!
I just clicked on the link you provided for their RUclips channel and it took me to a different "Earth Traveler" channel. Just an FYI.
fixed...lol... thanks!
Interesting design focus, but I'm not sure it's entirely practical in harsh conditions. If you have a chance to check out the Road Toad, by the folks at Camp Inn, it would be great to get your opinion. Not much heavier, but a more traditional style and durable construction. Haven't found much content on it yet though; I think it's new.
I love the road toad! my buddy Cosmo did a video on them, I can link it if you haven’t found it.
The folks at Campinn are doing it right!
@@DIYOutdoorLife Yes, I saw Cosmo's video on it, but his was the *only* one I could find, unfortunately. Seems like a DIY'ers dream though.
The most futuristic thing about it is its price. $25k for the base model lol $25k to essentially sleep in the bed of a pickup
Something for everyone, it really did climb in price fast. Thanks for watching.
It is basically a tent on wheels, no amenities, no nothing really. I sort of get where your going here, but a regular teardrop would do more. And i checked the pricing. It is worth a quarter of what your asking and then only maybe....
The price has exploded since I made this video, it's easily gone up five fold. I'm happy that they are doing well, but it's way out of my price range.
I was just at the website and the lighter one is 34k? Incredible.
The price keeps skyrocketing, I hope that means they’re having a lot of success… outta my budget for sure.
Not incredible....ridiculous.
@@marksprague1280 someone must be paying it. Too rich for my blood.
34K cool but how many you get 4,6,8 of them right ?
Didn't they invent a sub to visit the Titanic? What keeps this super light trailer from flipping?
Hahaha... not recommended for underwater camping
Very interesting trailer! I hope the future of electric tow vehicles doesn't make my trailer obsolete for at least 10 years!
We gotta figure that our vehicles will improve a lot by then too. Being limited to 100 miles between charges while towing would not be fun.
@@DIYOutdoorLife Nope. I see the new electric Ford pickup that can power your home for a few days in an emergency. I guess we won't be worried about batteries in our teardrops when we're driving those types of vehicles.
@@RhinoVenturesOutdoors I’m working on that now! LoL. Could you imagine one decked out in solar panels?
It looks like they went out of business. All the links no longer work.
I have to do some digging, I haven’t heard that. They appeared to be going in the direction of building handmade boutique trailers for individuals, it didn’t look like they were going to ramp up production. I would be surprised if they went out of business all together, they seemed so busy.
I'm sorry this is insane. I have been watching videos on campers for a couple hours now and I saw an 18 foot camper with kitchen queen bed, bunk beds bathroom with shower for $16,000. I looked up the price on this ...tent and it's $20,000-$40,000!? That's NUTS! My SUV only tows 2,000 lbs I think. So looking around for what's out there but the difference between $16,000 and $40,000 is me buying a $24,000 vehicle that can tow over 5,000 lbs! If that Google search lied to me and these things are under $5,000 then I'm sorry but $38,000! I already own a $45 8 person tent I got on sale from Walmart. I think I'm set...
The price has gone nutso but Im happy for them if people are buying these at that price.
Is there some special inside info you had to say price start for custom build is $15k, because their website states start of $25k to $38k !!
Ridiculous prices...
It's the times I guess... sorry.
They were starting at 10k at first, when I made the video they were upgrading to $15k. Since their popularity has exploded, it seems like theyre moving to exclusively make higher-end builds. Theyre not just charging more, they are "starting" with more decked out systems and not taking on the basic packages anymore.
It's way out of my price range now, but we'll see what they do as the company grows. Maybe theyre do the basic models again at a lower price.
Thanks for watching!
@@DIYOutdoorLife Yeah, all I want is a shell like they have and I can add what I need as I go... a hobo doesnt have much money :/
@@leagreenall5972 lol...I hear ya. The trailer cant cost more than my daily driver...haha
@@DIYOutdoorLife I tow with my motorcycle, so it can't be excessive weight - which basically cuts out the majority..
A base like this would be perfect for off grid living.
$24,995 for one of these? They look awesome. But I'd pay no more than $2000 for one of these used. Maybe $4500 new.
I hear ya. Seems like 2k can’t buy the lumber to make rv steps these days… yikes
@@DIYOutdoorLife Oh it can sure buy the fiberglass.
I truly appreciate the innovation here, but as you always say, Brian, it's about compromises. The lack of a galley is a bummer. Their portable kitchen add-on is pretty inadequate-looking for real cooking. 1lb propane cylinders will not cut it for long-term boondocking. For the additional equipment I'd have to provide and set up, and given the base price of $15K, I'd rather go with a solid Kodiak canvas tent and not have the hassle of having to tow something. But this is just the start. I am sure with enough time Angel will solve these issues and come up with a version that will knock our socks off!
I knew I liked you! I really love the innovation here and can imagine someone with a small tow vehicle or Tesla being able to bring bikes, kayaks and lots of camping gear on a trip. Sounds like a blast and it solves a problem. There is definitely some compromise and it has to meet your needs. I like the story about the people as much as the camper, this is some serious, next level thinking! Thanks for swinging by and contributing.
Love it, but $38K is too much for me. :(
Too expensive for me too. It was ⅓ that price when I made this.
$25k!! Am I reading that correctly? Yikes! I've ' just been watching a few of your videos on how's to camp economically. I guess this isn't one of those😉
Haha… I hear ya
I like the idea of your trailers. I'm a fabricator builder and custom car builder out here in Ventura. California, how do I find out what these things cost? Add a little more details. I can give you my phone number. But I can also take yours and try to call you back. This is cool. Richard One more question you're a New Mexico is what the video send.
Hi Richard, DIY outdoor life as a RUclips channel that makes content on lots of tiny campers. In this video, we featured Earth traveler.
If you click on the drop-down arrow for video description, there's links to their website for more information . Thanks for watching!
What a rip off $38,500 for a tent on wheels. Doesn’t even have a fridge, nothing for cooking, no toilet, and no shower come on for this price you can get a sweet teardrop this is a complete joke!
I hear ya. The jump in popularity for these guys sent the price through the roof. When I made this video, they were ¼ of the price. Great people, I’m happy for their success but it’s outta my price range.
You lost yourself in the assessment of value, and missed the genius here.
All I see are pistons that appear to be upside down..
Haha… I can’t help but to check too. I see that BC is consistently sticking with the new orientation on the Bushwhacker.
You are right! Is been fixed thanks!!😂 good eye
Just bring a tent.
🏕️
Looks like they raised the prices by 15,000😳
To 15 or by 15???
Out of this world technology. But, I’m just not a fan of a tent attached to a camper. It’s either a camper, or it’s a tent.
👍
I wish someone would make one that wasn't 25000.00 or 38000.00 without a kitchen or bathroom that was actually affordable 😕
Me too! Check out my videos on other tiny campers… this one is pricey
"Future"...the only thing of the future is the prices. These things still go in excess of $20,000-$30,000 for mid range models. That's like $350 per square foot!
**Update**
Their website is no longer available.
Yeah, the price has really sky rocketed. Im excited about their success but its out of my price range.
@@DIYOutdoorLife
It's out of everyone's price range. It's funny though, for half the price you can buy a really nice tiny camper that's 3-4 times the size.
Marketing them as pieces of “art” makes sense, since only wealthy art collectors would be foolish, willing, or able to purchase one of these. But hey, I’m all for capitalism, so good on you.
Haha. I have to respond to this a lot these days, when I made this video, these campers cost 75% less than what they do now. I'm happy for their success, but it's out of my budget.
Cool, but $38K??? Really????
The price exploded after I made this video. When I first found them, trailers were going for 10 grand. I’m really excited to see their success, but it’s definitely out of my price range.

Vale, y gracias por mirar el canal
$24k ouch
Yeah… price rising very fast
I can get a New Mypod with electric n ac for $11000 or so…. Not woth the price,,,,,
Let us know how you like the mypod. Thanks for watching!
I think you are mistaken about EV in the short time of 10 years. EV is not as good as we all think.
Could be, just seems to be the trend and law that it's happening. Right how, theres some great hybrids but Im not ready to go EV.
For a bare shell trailer, albeit one which is truly lightweight, the price is extraordinarily exhorbitant!
I can't say that I have confidence in that much fabric, which will leak in time, necessitating replacement.
Monocoque fibreglass or kevlar campers aren't new, making them this light is, doubtless aided by them having nothing but a shell.
Its an overpriced boutique project masquerading as something innovative.
I hear ya. When I went to visit, trailers were 10k. These guys are incredible and I love that theyre having success, it is out of my price range now for sure.
@@DIYOutdoorLife According to their own website, the 250 model starts at $38,500, plus Add On's and Accessories, and the 300 model starts at $24,995, plus Add On's and Accessories!
This is for an empty box devoid of anything!
Everything is an Add On, Accessory, or supply your own!
I didn't see any models starting at $10,000.
@@felixcat9318 What I was saying was- when I filmed this video, they were starting at 10k. In less than a year, that's how much the price has gone up. I'm sure the price reflects their success, but I'm not sure I could ever wrap my head around that kind of money...wow
lol 23k to30k lol
Yea, its pricey! The price was still four digits when I did this video, I'm happy for their success, but it's out of my price range.
I have to tell you something, if you promess not to tell anyone.
There's nothing special on that camper...
LoL…
Wish you could just show us the product without seeing you in every shot. So I'm gonna pass on your information. Boring...
You sound fun
Not for the common person. Only for the wealthy. 🙄
Yes, they've tripled in price. Im glad they are doing so well!
Get real, designers and sculptors! For the COST of this little thing, I can upgrade my Fiat to a full-size car with a regular truck camper!!!!!!
Yea, they got more interest than they could keep up with and the price skyrocketed. Their base model is over 3x what it was when I visited. I'm happy for their success.
so....you brought a ten on wheel......
It’s more of a twenty
