    Actual build cost vs markup on US built off road trailers/teardrops.

    Exactly! Currently our biggest holdup is the economy of scale and buying power. As it is with many of the smaller trailer companies out there. Over time, as you said, if demand continues we, collectively all teardrop builders, will be able to overcome some of the large price barriers that keep...

    Actual build cost vs markup on US built off road trailers/teardrops.

    So normally I try not to engage in these discussions, but I would like to weigh in a little bit on the cost to build a teardrop as a commercial production vs home built unit. I can't make any assumptions about any competitors that I've seen mentioned here (Moby1, et al), but I know the exact...

    Yakima SkyRise RTT

    Perhaps this has been covered in this thread, but does anyone know if this tent can store sleeping gear inside when folded? It looks so thin when folded, it's hard to imagine that there's space for any gear to stay inside like Tepui or CVT.

    Smittybilt Overlander RTT Review

    To your comments on the cover with the velcro, etc., Tepui and CVT both sell the covers aftermarket, along with the zippers... It appears that the aluminum extrusion on the sides is nearly the same on both, what are the folded dimensions? I would be curious if you could buy the zippered cover...

    Introducing Timberleaf Trailers - Handmade Teardrop Trailers from CO

    The insulation on the doors and windows is no different than those used in a full-size RV, and not much different than windows found in homes built before 1980... I'm not positive, but I think the windows and doors on the side might be double-paned The plants were my mom's idea to make it feel...

    Securing storage drawers?

    Do you find that you remove the drawers from your rig regularly? If not, what about a rivnut into the floor? I used turnbuckles on my flatbed and had the same problem, but now that I'm back to a bed, when I build my drawer system I'm going to bolt it directly into the bed using a handful of 6mm...

    saris Freedom spare tire mount rack off road capability

    That setup looks good, I've seen lots of Saris racks around town, and they've always appeared well made, I'd be more concerned with the strain the bikes put on the spindle for the carrier, but as long as that's good, I think a setup like yours is perfectly viable. Most of all, it's really nice...
