Introducing Timberleaf Trailers - Handmade Teardrop Trailers from CO

I would like to share the company my father is just launching, I'm extremely proud to present this to everyone here, and really excited to watch his new business grow. My dad is a fine-woodworker and carpenter of many many years, with his primary expertise being the restoration and remodeling of older homes throughout the Denver area, he has done many extensive remodeling jobs on run-down 100-year-old homes, bringing them up to 21st-century amenities, but staying true to the Crafstman or Victorian styling and details.

He is now beginning a new venture bringing the meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship to a line of teardrop trailers, with a retro aesthetic and feel, but unsurpassed quality and detailing with elegant simplicity.

Base pricing starting at $19,850, some non-standard features are on the model photographed.

I'm working on coming up with some features to upgrade to a more offroad friendly one, potentially including taller leaf springs, 31" tires, a Max-Coupler, and rock sliders / corner protection. All other features would stay the same.

Currently we have a model in the Denver area for all to check out if any are interested. The trailer weighs in at just under 1500 pounds as seen here, with a 140lb tongue weight, it's hardly noticeable when towed behind the Subaru, and I can't even tell it's there with my Tacoma.

Update:

Since posting this, we've released a new trailer model; the Pika. The Pika is a more compact model with fewer amenities, intended to be a more budget friendly option to get into a high quality teardrop with the same attention to detail and build construction of the larger Classic model, particularly for those who don't feel the need to have on board water with a plumbed sink, cabinetry in the cabin, and would like a smaller/more nimble trailer.

The Pika, whose frame is 54" wide and 96" long, starts out at 950lbs dry, and climbs from there depending on options.

Our Classic, the O.G. model we first introduced three years ago, sits on a 60" wide and 120" long frame, and sports a queen mattress versus a double in the Pika, also includes much more storage capacity over the Pika; with a cabinet above your feet in the cabin, a headboard cabinet with sliding bypass doors, and a galvanized underbody storage box all standard. The Classic also includes 12 gallons of on board water, with a plumbed sink and electronic pump for on-demand water in the galley. In addition, due to the extra length we can accomodate a more built-out kitchen area, with accommodations for a pull out cooler and pull out stove. The Pika's short stature does not allow space for all the pull outs of the Classic.

Both trailers are available in three suspension/tire/accessory packages:

• The Standard: 2k torsion axle with 26" trailer tires and aluminum wheels, with rounded aluminum fenders. This package is for the primarily road-bound traveler, capable of moderate dirt road travel, but ideally suited for highway travel.
• The All-Road: Timbren Axleless suspension (2kHD for Pika, 3500 for Classic), 235/75r15 AT tires, rounded aluminum fenders, electric trailer brakes, and a Max-Coupler articulating hitch. This package is geared toward the driver who wants to explore further with confidence; no matter what you drive, the brakes give you extra confidence and control, the independent trailing arm suspension provides stability and smooth tracking over rougher terrain. This is perfectly paired behind an AWD or crossover SUV whose owner wants to explore backroads and go down the road less traveled with confidence that the trailer will have no issues tagging along.
• The Off-Road: No holds barred. This package is based on our tried-and-true All-Road, but with some additional upgrades. Timbren Axleless suspension with a 4" lift, electric brakes, custom HD Jeep-style fenders with integrated step, increased diamond plating on the front to keep the front end looking pretty for miles of offroad travel and rocks getting flung at it from the tow vehicle, 31" BFG KO2s on the Pika and 33" BFG KO2s on the Classic, front rock sliders offer effective corner protection against obstacles, and a Max-Coupler articulating hitch. This trailer will go anywhere you tell it to; I personally have this package on my Pika and have yet to pull it somewhere it won't go. Massive ground clearance, smooth tracking with Timbren's suspension, and tires that grip. Outfit your trailer with this package and fear no terrain.

Looks good. Good luck on the company.

 

Yeah. Good luck to you and your father. Those teardrop trailers are nice.

In the past, I've thought of building my own.

 

Beautiful trailers. Nice to see that someone that is connected to TW offering these.
Give a "Good luck with the new company" to your father.

 

Very, very cool - I hope to move to a teardrop trailer after my pop-up dies and my kids get out of college. Good luck! Those look awesome!

 

Dude, these trailers are seriously nice! Great design, nice and low profile but packed with features at a very low weight. I really like the galley area. It looks like a wonderful combination of ease of use and efficiency. Were I in the market for a camp trailer this would easily be at the top of my list. Really cool stuff, you and your father should be very proud! I hope the open house is a success!

 

Love the simplicity! Looks great! As a former Coloradan and finish carpenter, I hope his new business venture does well for your dad. Great to see American innovation alive and well.

 

Love the design, good luck!

 

So cool!

 

Cool trailers! He should take it to overland expo west in Flagstaff for display
good luck to your father

 

Thanks! I've been trying to convince him to do that... it's such a drive for him it's a tall order. I'd do it myself, but there's an 18" difference between my receiver and the tongue of the trailer..

Although, OutdoorX4 will probably be there with theirs

 

Wow that looks nice!

 

Have a custom drop hitch made at the local welding shop. Should be cheap enough.

Nice trailers!

 

How have I not seen this yet...

Keeping an eye on this for later

 

Absolutely stunning Alex. I am confident these will be a hit...gorgeous design in and out.

 

I've thought about that, but I fear that'd be too much leverage on my bumper's hitch. I've seen some crazy drop hitches that have extra bars to help it tie into the frame... That's always an option!

Or lift it....

 

that white one is amazing!!

 

hey, if you drag that offroad. will it be full of dust in the galley when you arrive?
