Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Hi all-

I have some questions about So-Cal Teardrops.

Has anyone seen these trailers in person? What is your impression of the overall fit and finish? From what I can tell, it looks like these trailers do not have a roof vent? Am I correct?

I am considering purchasing a 5x9 kit - any thoughts?

Thank you - Dave

I have been by their shop once, and thought overall that they make a very good trailer. and I did not see roof vents, I think they make a great study frame and overall a good trailer. if you are willing to pay the price. Gabe seems to be a good guy who take's pride in what he makes.

For a mfg'd teardrop, it's not to bad. I don't know anyone who has one so I can't really give you any pro's or con's on it. The only one I've seen is one of the prototypes (so to speak) so a course it was looking it's best but like that, I also didn't see a roof vent, not to say you couldn't order one.




Have a good day.

Dave,
Gabe is signed up for the IRG, I'm sure he will have one there...

My wife and I checked out Gabe's shop when we were in the market (we live close by). He makes a very nice trailer with a well thought out galley. I particularly liked the 'pass-thru' tunnel and the stereo set-up which has speakers available both inside and outside.

We were looking at the 5x10 at the time, and it does have a roof fan available as an option; as a matter of fact, Gabe was very open to working with the customer on almost any custom design modifications.

I appreciate all the comments.

Yes, we have a few different styles of roof vents that we have installed. A standard 14"x14" camper vent (with an aluminum cover, nicer than the average vent), and a 6" diameter round pop-up with a 12 volt powered fan are the most popular choices.

Concerning the fit and finish, typically the demo model that we are dragging around to shows is about 6-9 months old, and lags a bit on the upgrades and features compared to the current production trailers. We try to keep it in "presentable" condition.

Also, Gage, the trailer you saw was the very first one we built. Built in a single car garage with all off the shelf parts. We have since developed several custom extrusions and many other proprietary parts. Also, everything is now cut out on a CNC router.

If you'd like to see one in person, call Mike at (909) 590-2700, we'll see if we can hook you up with someone near you that owns one of our trailers.

See you guys at Pamplin Grove!
