    Off road-ability and survivability of $20k teardrops

    My problem with Hikers is they really don't have a galley. One of my reasons for wanting a teardrop is to avoid set up at the sight. I want to raise the back door and have a covered kitchen ready to go. My favorite galley is wibtechoutdoors.com. If hiker had a nicer galley, I'd give them...

    Off road-ability and survivability of $20k teardrops

    No, we're not sold on them yet. We rented a Vintage Trailer Works XTR and really were not impressed. It did well on the trails but the overall quality wasn't great. I understand you get what you pay for but we're still spending $20+k. We also aren't sure we want the form factor of a tear drop...

    Off road-ability and survivability of $20k teardrops

    I'm definitely seeing prices on used ones come down, and they're sitting unsold on the market. I don't know how much of this is due to it being winter though.

    Off road-ability and survivability of $20k teardrops

    Those High Camp Trailers look nice. Not sure if they'd hold up to some of the terrain we have to cover but I haven't looked too closely at them. My wife's concerns are the same as your wife's. We rented a teardrop this past fall during some cold weather and once the sun went down it was too...

    Off road-ability and survivability of $20k teardrops

    Were yours "off-road" models made by the large RV manufacturers? Or where they purpose built off road campers? The large manufacturers add some bigger tires and a different suspension and call it off road capable. It's still the same cheaply built camper though. We're interested in the more...

    Off road-ability and survivability of $20k teardrops

    We rented an XTR and took it up some trails to test it out. It handled the off road stuff just fine. I have some reservations about the build quality though. They're built to a 20k price point so I can't expect high end fit and finish but I think we might have ruled them out for now.

    PullKitchen

    PapaDave, I don't see any PullKitchen's available on your site. Do you anticipate having any more in stock? My wife and I are debating between an off-road teardrop, or outfitting the truck with a kitchen.

    Wibtech Trailers?

    Does anyone have experience with Wibtech? There's not much available online about them but they seem pretty cool. I really like the galley storage. I'm wondering how they compare to Vintage Off-road XTR. www.wibtechoutdoors.com

    Off road-ability and survivability of $20k teardrops

    I agree. 35 is on the low end for many of the ones built for off-road. I have no doubt they're incredible but I'm not willing to spend that much.

    Off road-ability and survivability of $20k teardrops

    We are in the market for an off-road teardrop. We prefer a hard-sided, sleep inside vs a RTT. Our primary 3 requirements are: 1) Price. I'm not spending $35,000 on a mattress with wheels. We're looking for <$25,000 2) Height. Our garage height is 81" 3) Off-road-ability. I know you get what...

    How important is sink in Teardrop Galley

    My wife and I are considering an off-road teardrop camper. We exclusively disbursed camp and I'm looking at campers primarily to make camping more convenient. We enjoy tent camping but loading up our gear every time, setting up the site, tearing the site down, and putting the gear away back at...
