Unless you have a benefit to giving you a deal, its typically hard out
id say a good 90% of the GOOD trailer builders have a wait list. TCTeardrops has over a year at the current point and they put out 80 a year

Most people don't have the skills required or the time it takes to build something. I got lucky and had lots of help with my trailer. It also has a lot of production parts which have made it a lot better. If you have the skills, time, or friends go for it.

I built mine, but had to pay for some guys with welding skill. All in it still was about $20K. Might have been better to have paid for a ready made one. It's still cool though and the RTT was about $3500 of that.

Talk to Tennessee Trailers. They are a fully custom builder who is new to the overland trailer game, but have been building custom high end trailers for over 50 years. If you call them, ask for Eric and let him know that Stewart sent you. He'll help you figure out a lot of technical details and build exactly what you want. I'll have one of the first ones with me at Overland East. Good luck!

Check out Turtleback. Lead time is only about 1-2 months right now and they're legit. We are the NW reps for them and I personally stand behind their work. Top notch stuff.
Thanks all the input guys. My wife put the kibosh on a RTT because of mobility issues with a ladder at night - such as a bathroom emergency. So a small teardrop or tiny house on wheels is the direction!
At Overland East my wife saw and fell in love with one from inTech RV. The Max +. The idea of this is a mini toy hauler with a fold out bed on one side of the cabin. Then a slide out kitchen unit at the front on the street side. What I really like is that I can walk around inside with a bend of the neck, and won't need a side tent to stand up in to change cloths and such. Good price for what you get. Now it doesn't have everything we want, but "I know a guy!" who will be working with me to finish the outfitting. I'm providing him a small utility trailer I no longer use for his business, and getting him some reduced cost accounting and tax work.
