This Ain't Your Grandpa's Teardrop Trailer - High Altitude Off-Road Camping & Overland Trailer

[@GoXplr]

I seen many times where friends had to pack up camp to go explore while I just drop the trailer. Only to get back and have to set up again , while I pop a cool water Sammie ! It's such a benefit to have a trailer. I myself needed more storage ... 2 dr jk, but love those tear drops too.

[@SirWilliamGoes]

Yeah man. Ive lost many a good spots after leaving to explore for the day. Trailer would eliminate that for sure.

[@Lex-Rex]

These things go for over 34 grand where I live in Colorado. That is some major coin for something you cannot even stand up in LOL. I like that they are all built here in CO and they look solid, but damn that is a tough pill to swallow unless you got really deep pockets. Great video.

[@SirWilliamGoes]

Thanks for watching. I had thought the same thing but then when you see less quality trailers going for 40-50k you realize it's not unreasonable. Check out www.bfooverland.com for other options that may be more inline with the budget you have.

I like those trailers. Thanks

[@floridaexpeditions]

Pretty badass setup.

[@BottleJackBuddy]

Great video sir!

[@williamzoom]

You can put a lift kit & some bigger tires on ''Leaky'' and do the same stuff! )

[@SirWilliamGoes]

Nice! Weight?

[@SirWilliamGoes]

Varies depending on set up. Reach out to BFO in Maryville TN they can help ya out

It's not a 1 piece if it comes in 2 pieces.... It's nice, but marketing people know nothing.... It's a 2 piece that's bonded together. That dude blew it when he said 1 piece that comes in 2 pieces that we bond together. Hence it's 2 pieces

[@SirWilliamGoes]

True but still far stronger than any traditional teardrop.

[@stephenbarabas6286]

@@SirWilliamGoes I'm not sure about that... 5 guy tear drops used a true 1 piece laminate construction process.. Bonds will always break. A true 1 piece is 1 piece

[@insaynbcr]

@@stephenbarabas6286 If it's made of fiberglass, then it is technicaly not one piece, two piece, etc. It's actually millions of pieces bonded together. And those bonds can alway break as well. Seems silly to have to bring this up this way......but here we are. So, my feeling about this being referred to as "one piece" means it's not two pieces just bolted together with some form of seal between them. It is bonded and is now one piece. How a company gets to their "one piece" is their way, just roll with it.

@@insaynbcr @stephenbarbas The glue used is called methyl methacrylate. The two halves, when joined together using this glue become one piece as the glue is actually stronger than the fiberglass. If you were to try and pull it apart, the fiberglass would fail before the glue does.

[@stephenbarabas6286]

😂 @ $25,000.00 starting price

[@SirWilliamGoes]

And selling 80+ a yr!! Goes to show you, there’s an ass for every seat!!! Go take a look at similar imports that are of less quality and start at 40k

[@insaynbcr]

As silly as this price seems, it is real and not a rip off. Keep in mind that this is a smaller company that doesn't just pump hundreds of rigs out the door a month with questionable quality like ALL other mass produced RV's out there. Materials, and man hours add up and add up quick. If the price still seems far fetched, I challenge anyone here to just go outside and build your own. You will find out really quick how fast you'll burn through $15000. Once you purchase materials, proper tooling, and burn through 100's of unpaid hours you will look back and realize they still need to pay employees as well as make a profit to stay in business, and from that you will figure out where their prices come from. I built my off road trailer back in 2010 and have close to $7000 into it, and that was 12 years ago when materials where significantly cheaper. Also, has A LOT less amenities than this kind of trailer has.

[@HowardScalziJr]

@@SirWilliamGoes are you implying that a Patriot Camper (while expensive) for instance, is of less quality. It appears by the video that these trailers have a standard ball hitch not a fully articulating hitch, and you believe you can take these things everywhere that Apple would go?

[@stephenbarabas6286]

@@insaynbcr I may not be good at the maths but 7 grand is faaaaaaar off from 25 grand....and I hate to tell you that even with inflation (and I'll even give a little wiggle room for prices) your $7000 is equivalent to $9,500 in 2022..... So there's that..... Maths don't lie.

[@insaynbcr]

@@stephenbarabas6286 That was $7k in materials and RTT, and did not include the $10k in tooling I had to cut, bend, weld and fab. And as I said before, my rig doesn't have nearly the amenities. This also doesn't include my time if I chose to pay myself at whatever rate was going back then. Again, if you honestly feel that you can build an equivalent quality product yourself for less than $25k... Go do it! Please don't spit numbers until you have spent the time and the dime with results.
