Let's talk Teardrop Trailers

Got me one of them solar panel thingees



Of course, that meant I had to redo my electrical panel in the trailer. Still have the USB and 12v sockets, they're just on the sides above the furnace vents now.



Also rigged up a way to attach an extendable tarp pole to the side of the trailer. The plan is to be able to hang a water bag up high for backcountry showers.



The bottom mount is a bimini end piece for a boat. The top mount is a stainless coat hook on the trailer and another bimini attachment mounted to the pole. The whole things lifts straight up to remove it.

I also permanently mounted a 20a battery charger and added a shore power connection for when it's in the garage. We're still having fun with it

 

Just put a deposit down on an Escapod

The only downside is expected delivery is September 2020

 

Here it is all set up in Red River New Mexico

 

We chose this campsite in the Jefferson National Forest because a small murder of crows took flight as we approached along the first road
I jokingly said "look the crows were holding a campsite for us"
I was right.....


It was a little tricky backing the trailer into the trees.


We set up for rain, and good thing too. Lots of water from the sky tested out our new rain kit.

 

That's a nice looking camp site

 

We stayed 5 nights

 

I love the idea of a teardrop but short of building one myself, the cost is what I consider insane right now. Maybe I’m looking at the wrong ones but starting at $9,000 for what I want and going upwards of $12,000 feels crazy for something I cannot stand-up in.

 

What brand and model is this?

 

I built it my self but it is a 5x8 on. 3500lb axle

 

Just curious, did you build on leaf springs, torsion axle or Timbren?

 

It is on springs with a max coupler

 

Very similar to a teardrop....

 

Pictures of the inside?

 

Here are a few. I'll take more after work.

 

Given my username, I am sure you can guess that I am part of the VORSHEER Team. And from what I've learned, the guys that started VORSHEER had a similar experience dealing with the owner of Moby1 as did the customers. However, their passion for building off-road trailers lead them to create VORSHEER Off-Road Trailers. They took their over 15 years of combined experience to design the XOC and XOC-R. With other models ready for prototyping.

I invite you to take a look at what we're doing: Instagram or our website

This Tacoma driver just picked up his VORSHEER XOC on Saturday (10/19/2019). Instagram Video

Happy to answer any questions you have about VORSHEER.

Thanks,
David
