Bert Taylor Vistabule Teardrop trailer concept and build technique

[@michaelschneider-]

+1. .. Gotta luv the spirit with which CEO Bert Taylor navigates his Vistabule trailer company. .. Refreshing. .. Vistabule Trailers is his baby! .. Three cheers for the shop owner that lives, breaths and sleeps ... "The devil is in the details".

[@joeywilson]

Cosmo. You have outdone yourself with this video. It is SO helpful to get a behind the scenes view of the actual people who are making the Vistabule and your interviews are filled with lots of interesting details. I really appreciate the amount of information that you have provided your subscribers. Please keep it up and if ever you find yourself wanting to do some camping in the southwest, look us up in Santa Fe, NM. Bert actually gave me a tour of his Vistabule when he was traveling thru our town during his southwest vacation. He was funny and charming and very generous with his time. Anyway, thanks so much for what your’e doing here on KZbin. It’s SO appreciated!

[@Sandraisms]

Love these trailers. I live in Australia and am in the process of designing my own teardrop. I will use many of the features of this camper in my own design.

[@CosmoWeems]

Thanks Sandra, Looking forward to seeing your rig design! 𝕋𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕜 𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕨𝕒𝕥𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘! ✅ Check my other videos kzbin.infovideos SUBSCRIBE kzbin.info =𝓒𝓸𝓼𝓶𝓸 ✅

Man Cosmo, your videos certainly click with me. I was glued to the screen. Great story, great people, great narration...

[@carolleenkelmann4751]

"Colours of my Life." - Ah, come on, Cosmo, you make the videos for yourself. Then we come in. And I, for one, enjoy your approach and if something grabs me, (appeals), you get a thumbs-up.

[@CosmoWeems]

Thank You! =Cosmo

[@oneseeker2]

I really don’t believe there is another person that can make these teardrops appear any more fantastic than Cosmo. Cosmo has the lights looking great, looking cozy.

Pro trick : watch movies on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching a lot of movies these days.

[@christianruben2387]

@Clark Adrien yea, I've been using Flixzone for years myself =)

@Clark Adrien Yup, been watching on flixzone for years myself =)

Best tiny trailer video I've seen. Great stuff.

[@JM-nt4jx]

It's a beautiful trailer. We bought a NU Camp T@G outback teardrop trailer for rough roads in AZ. And have a local dealer. I do love it

[@TheGratitudeAttitude]

We have a T@G xl boondock as well, and we love it! ... But I have to say, the Vistabule has great features. I wish we had a couch/bed setup as well as that great pass-through window to the kitchen. The colorful teardrops are just works of art! Thank you, Vistabule,for helping people #getoutside. ~ Maria

[@waterwomyn]

I love this teardrop. I really really love this teardrop. Wish I could afford one. Perhaps a very old used one will come along when I am too old to crawl into it. Constance Condit 😉❤️

[@CosmoWeems]

Thanks Constance. I feel your pain! I love it too and want to give one to all my friends. There are other options however. Not quite a Vistabule - but funmobiles none the less. Not sure what your budget is but I like Hiker trailer for a cost effective solution to getting into the outdoors. I think the nice one is 4 thousand dollars . kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJXNh6WFps10oLM

This is now my dream teardrop trailer. I love the design and that the quality is so high. It doesn't look like any of these are ever (or rarely) resold secondhand though. People who buy them new must love them!

[@CosmoWeems]

Hi Teresa I have seen a few Vistabules for sale used on the Facebook group Vistabule Teardrop Enthusiasts. I have no idea what they sel for but they do seem to hold their value quite well. Good Luck =Cosmo Check my other videos kzbin.infovideos SUBSCRIBE kzbin.info

@@CosmoWeems Thank you for the information. I'm not on Facebook, but I can't afford a trailer quite yet anyway. I'll just keep gathering information and dreaming...

[@wadehoagland9188]

Thanks Cosmo for your videos. I’m going to investigate purchasing a vistabule and going to see them in twin cities. One thing I’m going to ask is with you trailer over the years how has it held up? can you comment on condition of trailer Outer skin , leeks, frame rust, hitch, door gaskets, What kind of things can be expected years down the road

[@CosmoWeems]

Hi Wade. My Vistabule is 6.5 yrs old. No problems to report. I garage it and take care of it. I lube the hubs every year. No issues or failures. Its a well made trailer. 𝕋𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕜 𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕨𝕒𝕥𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘! ✅

[@fesp7728]

Great video Cosmo. PS I think the massage chair idea for the trailer is a good one.

[@CosmoWeems]

Thank YOU! Cosmo.

[@KeithAVass]

Bert-I live in Australia so I cannot be your customer.But I would like to know how you create the foot wells for sitting at a table in your trailers? Do you open up the floor to create the extra depth or what? Can you divulge the dimensions in your mattress to achieve the sitting position? Thanks in anticipation.

[@CosmoWeems]

Thanks Vistabule ships Au. mattress is a standard queen syze futon mattress

[@CosmoWeems]

Contact Vistanule.com. I am an owner. I am not Bert.

[@garrylawless6758]

I heard u comment on rare timber been used elsewhere but u never commented when same timber been used in factory that supplies timber components

[@CosmoWeems]

Yes I am against Camp-Inns use of Mahogany. Its a rain forest wood that is very expensive and is destroying the rain forest. Totally needless. Baltic Birch Vistabule uses is not endangers and comes from Estonia. Their is a huge difference between the two woods and the damage being done by their use. I am not perfect but really Mahogany is a terrible piggy choice these days. Do your own research. The Majority of Mahogany is cut illegal. I have seen the damage first hand. Thanks for mentioning this important topic. I just switched to a portable bidet to cut down single use toilet paper deforestation. Small moves by large numbers of people make big changes.

Hi cosmo, We are traveling from AZ to the Northeast and wonder if I get an EZ pass for NY will I need additional passes for NJ, PA, etc? We are traveling with a tear drop trailer, how do we register the trailer for tow highways? It's confusing on the website. I thought you would be the one who knows as you travel in the East. Thanks, Judy

[@CosmoWeems]

EZ pass works all over the North East. I think it works as far as Ohio going west. NJ NY PA will work fine. Ping me when heading east I am 24 miles outsider of NYC.

[@Judy-cm6kp]

Cosmo Weems anything special for the trailer with ez pass? Thanks for your help Judy Phoenix, AZ

[@CosmoWeems]

Ya you get charged for the extra axle the trailer has. I cant remember if you pay double the amount in NJ or NY either way you pay for more towing I suppose this is normal - but it was a shock for me!

[@mimaroo1431]

So you need to buy towing passes in U.S. ?

[@Judy-cm6kp]

mimaroo yes

[@oneseeker2]

GREAT video! Question, why are they so expensive?

[@Judy-cm6kp]

These trailers are beautifully crafted, the wood work is amazing.

[@oneseeker2]

I agree, they are simply beautiful. Just more than I can afford.

[@oceandrew]

You can get a cheap teardrop for a quarter of the cost that's homebuilt that's basically a tent on wheels but don't expect it to hold up in the weather or on the road.

[@jazzman5598]

👍 OK! 👍 it is!

[@CosmoWeems]

Thank You!

[@oceandrew]

Very nice expose of the characters behind the Vistabule. One critique though... you interrupt the "talent" a lot. You have nearly a dozen videos out where you do all the talking and narrating but you're also the star of those vids. When someone else is the star it'd be nice if you let them talk without jumping in to grab the limelight for yourself. This is only for the video where walking on someone's audio makes you both unintelligible, in person it's perfectly fine.

[@CosmoWeems]

Ya I am just winging it for sure. Many of experience in competitive management talking due to work. Will try and keep it in mind while throwing it against the wall to see what sticks. Thanks for your comments =Cosmo Subscribe and See my other videos at kzbin.info

[@gak4575]

yea expensive for a basic trailer with no shower or toilet. Not affordable to the average worker like buying a house 20 grand for one. There are plenty of other options similar that are cheaper and some new travel trailers are cheaper. I guess its cheap if you make a 6 figure income I could build it cheaper. I own a 28 foot travel trailer brand new cost 8 grand yea its older now but no payments for something that is not worth the debt

[@CosmoWeems]

Ya no one trailer is good for everyone. Price and value to the individual have no connection. There are runaway and Hiker camper trailers which are small and far less expensive if they appeal to you.

[@CosmoWeems]

Not sure what your budget is but I like Hiker trailer for a cost effective solution to getting into the outdoors. I think the nice one is 4 thousand dollars . kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJXNh6WFps10oLM

[@gak4575]

don't get me wrong I am not making fun or putting your choice down. I like your vids. most national forest allow dispersed camping so here is their web site handy info on rules and such. Also check out the mvum maps click on the forest and find the link free shows you the back roads and all the markers and numbers to navigate you will get it. sorry about my typing. you can also find free camping on BLM land safe travels and maybe we will cross paths in the great lake states some day www.fs.fed.us/recreation/programs/ohv/ohv_maps.shtml

[@CosmoWeems]

Thank you for the tip, I get it. Discussing choices and why is what we are all here for. I understand my trailer is a good match for me at this point and time. But not for everyone of course. Ya I am not done with the Great Lakes - One down 4 to go. =Cosmo
