November 7, 2021 - Retrospective Entry It was August of 2020, the first summer of the pandemic that my wife and I were ground camping at Tunnel Mountain in Banff. Beside us was David and his DIY teardrop. After coming back from the restroom one day on our trip, my wife was at David's site...

Well today, ordered the awning: Darche Eclipse 180 Gen 2. once the trailer arrives, design of the 80/20 aluminum roof rack will commence.

Well, Phase 2 is done. Northern Teardrop Trailer sent me a photo of the final build. Pick-up Nov 6, 2021. From there Phase 3 will begin. Phase 3 includes: - 12V wiring - Battery/Fridge box at the front - Vinyl wrap to white roof - DIY 80/20 Roof Rack including brackets for awning & privacy...

Well, nearly 11 months after our deposit was put down, fabrication has started on Phase 2, The Habitat. This week, Northern Teardrop Trailer started our floor and walls. We opted for the insulated floor system they offer. In our northern climate, I feel this was a no brainer. The walls...

August 19, 2021 While not much has changed in terms of the trailer since we delivered it to Northern Teardrop (we get it back late October 2021), I have spent some time researching some of the other major components we will need including, batteries, an awning and testing out our new Bluetti...

While not trailer related, our new Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon arrived at the end of May after 21 weeks on order. A few quite photos to share.

'21 JLUR with Sky-One-Touch Roof and Saddle leather interior. First Wrangler. A planned short trips this summer to break it in. Then when our new trailer is done late fall...

The 45L height is just under at 465mm

Chassis all picked-up. Being driving to Norther Teardrop Trailer tomorrow. Then there will be no progress until Sept/October.

Travis is a great guy.

Thank you for the follow. My build is not traditional by any means as it relates to NTT. I designed the chassis and had my friends at Innovative Welding Edmonton build to my specs. I supplied all the suspension, wheels, tail lights and Jack lifts to them. Innovative is behind the scenes and...

Tomorrow is pick-up day, but the trailer is now powder coated and fenders installed. Fenders are all bolt-on so that if damaged they can be removed. Hard to tell in the images, but the fenders taper towards the trailer for a bit more exposure to the aggressive wheels. Damn DOT required side...

Now you can see the trailer with the Venomrex 17" VR-602 wheels and 285/75 R17 KO2's. Fenders will be built today. Then chassis and fenders get sent to powder coating and back for me to pick up Thursday!

In the background, those are spools for O&G. My buddy who owns the welding shop has done thousands of those 20' diameter spools for various clients around the world. He is doing my chassis as a fun project and probably a favour. While I'm paying him, I doubt he is making money. The Vespa...

Update, trailer chassis is all welded together and suspension installed. Rear hitch receiver designed to hold a 50CC Vespa and mount. Goes to be powder coated tomorrow and wednesday:)

I always research to the 9's before pulling any trigger to proceed. That said, Dale with Northern Teardrop Trailers was the only fabricator who was willing to work with me to create something unique. While he could not accommodate 100% of my requests as he needed to be able to still create...

The Ark XO is a great looking jockey wheel. I opted against it for a standard flat plate for now as I didn't want the unit to shift when in use. Just felt more comfortable with a flat plate as the unit is so light.

Well the day has come. All the chassis parts were dropped off at Innovative Welding in Edmonton today. Will have progress photos of the chassis every 1-2 days for the next week. Chassis will be done by end of next week then off to Northern Teardrop Trailer for April 9. From there it will be...

No they are not, not at least in Canada (not sure where you are located). I can tell you cause cost to bring in large quantities is higher than that. Also I have not seen any on Amazon when available that have LG compressors. That is a factory ordered specification. Most do not get that as...

SALE PRICE.. Just in time for spring, the remaining 45L & 55L in-stock Alpicool Fridges with LG Compressor are 10% off until April 1, 2021. They won't last long.
