    Who Builds Quality Teardrops and/or Squaredrops?

    I'll second Hiker Trailer. They have lots of models/variations of squaredrops. I've owned one since 2019 (Mid-Range 5x8) and while I haven't taken it on anything more rugged than gravel, it has held up very well to the PNW environment. Some don't like the wood construction, but the offset is...

    A TetonX Hybrid was just listed in the classifieds that might be close to what you are looking for.

    A Moment From Any Current Manufacturers or Business Minded

    Why the lower roof at the front? Teardrops offset the lack of a stand-up interior with a lower overall height, but that is lost in this design. Looks cool, but you adding a disadvantage without the offsetting benefit. Also, what is the track width? the outboard wheels might allow the axle to...

    Mammoth Expedition Doomsday Trailer

    Oh, there is a market for these. Probably a small overlap of excess cash and excess testosterone, but there must be a few. "Dude, my big brother can beat up your big brother!" "No way! But so what, my dog can shred your dog in a fight." "Get real. Anyway, my dad can kick your dad's ass!" "FO...

    That is a pretty awesome blue, but in the earth-toned wilderness of the real outdoors it would be just... wrong. In my opinion.

    Overland Emergancy

    I disagree. I think it should go the other way. Either that or the lowest part should be inside. :p

    No start / shaking gauges 2006 Xterra

    This does not seem to fully fit the symptoms, but if it is a manual transmission, there is a safety switch that won't allow the starter to engage unless the clutch is depressed, even if it is not in gear. I had that switch fail and it took forever for the dealer to diagnose it. All the electrics...

    Northern Teardrop Trailer X North 53 Overland - Semi-Custom Northern Teardrop Trailer Build - Alberta, Canada

    That is such an awesome story, @phnttom thanks for taking the time to write , edit and share! Reading the excitement in your narrative reminded me of my own teardrop (squareback) purchase, and interactions with Dale, even though I didn't buy one of his trailers. I have followed your posts with...

    Trailer recommendation with great outdoor kitchen?

    This idea doesn't quite fit the "turn key" objective, but usually the perfect trailer does not exist, so there may need to be a compromise somewhere... Hiker Trailer's square-back trailers are value-priced (in my opinion; I'm a satisfied owner of a Mid-Range 5x8). Using a bare-bones trailer as a...

    Moby1 Going Out Of Business? Has Anyone Received A Deposit Return?

    I recommend calling your credit card company and giving them the details. I did that with Amex before I put a deposit on a custom trailer in mid 2017, before the Inka and Moby disasters, to avoid those very scenarios. My builder even said they would charge extra to put it on a card, but when I...

    ?

    I have to agree. I can easily picture this thing hitting a mild bump, the suspension or the floor collapsing on one side, the trailer tipping over to that side, taking the tow vehicle with it, and spilling a huge mess all over the road. I'm no expert but I can easily see your trailer weighing...

    price of Escapade and Hiker Trailers

    I have a Hiker Mid-range that I picked up last May. I'm no overlanding expert and this is my first trailer, so I don't have a lot to compare it with. Nonetheless, here are my observations: - Hikers are very simple strong plywood boxes on a decent frames. Perfect for my needs, but not insulated...

    Where is "here?" Looks like a fantastic spot. Foreground feels like a lake, the ferry hints of ocean.
