Our Story
Two Brothers, One Standard
We grew up as Teardroppers. Our parents owned a vintage teardrop trailer, and we both had the good fortune of camping in it throughout our childhoods. So when the "teardrop bug" bit us again back in about 2008, it felt like coming home. Working in our spare time at our own houses, we each set out to build a teardrop of our own.
What we ended up with were two trailers that were equally well-built but entirely different in character. Sawyer chose a classic Benroy-style body and brought it to life with his woodworking skills, filling it with beautiful cabinetry and warm wood elements. Jon built something altogether different: an off-road teardrop built around his metalworking background, essentially a metal roll-cage packed with electronics and almost no wood at all.
The response was immediate. Both trailers drew a steady stream of compliments and questions, and the question we heard most was always the same: where can I get one like that?
Eventually we realized that between the two of us, we had everything we needed to build something exceptional. Our skill sets were different but perfectly complementary, and together we could build a teardrop better balanced than either of us could manage alone. We spent the better part of a year designing, planning, and prototyping our new line, and we invested heavily in the tools, jigs, and processes it would take to do the job right.
In the details
A camper that feels like home
Step inside one of our teardrops and the first thing you'll notice is the warmth. We design our trailers around a beautiful wooden interior that feels cozy and inviting — a real retreat at the end of a day outdoors. It's a deliberate contrast to so many builds out there that advertise "NO WOOD" as a feature, then leave you with plain white walls and plain white cabinets, splattered with off-the-shelf RV hardware. That sterile look has never appealed to us. To get the feel we're after, we build with marine-quality, boat-building materials and hardware throughout.
Built to last, priced to compete
First and foremost, we are craftsmen who take real pride in our work. We have no interest in rush-building low-quality products in high volume — that approach has become all too common in manufacturing, and we have chosen not to buy into it. We would far rather build something we are genuinely proud of: a beautiful camper that will still be on the road thirty years from now and beyond. We want our teardrops to become heirlooms, passed from one generation to the next in good, serviceable condition.
That heavy investment — in quality materials and in the time it takes to build things right — pays off in a way that matters to every owner: remarkably low maintenance. We do occasionally get called on to help our clients through a service issue, and we're always glad to. But we design and build to head off those problems in the first place, so they rarely come up at all.
Here is what might surprise you: that level of quality doesn't have to come at a premium price. We have worked hard to refine our designs, tooling, and processes so we can build a genuinely high-end trailer at a price that competes directly with less refined options. You shouldn't have to choose between a camper you can afford and one that's built to last. We think you can have both.
We also want to be clear about what "high-end" means to us. For us it is about build quality, material quality, and thoughtful design, not trim level. We love outfitting a teardrop to the hilt and loading it with options, but we are just as happy building a simpler one. Those more basic teardrops are every bit as high-end in our eyes, because they are built just as solidly, with the same quality materials and methods, as our most fully decked-out trailers — and they make that craftsmanship accessible at an even friendlier price.
