TC Teardrops
Life in a Drop – TCTeardrops began when we took our first camping trip in our very first home-built Teardrop and someone asked, “Where did you get that?” (Right after their first question, which was, “Can you sleep in that thing?”). So, we built a few more Teardrops by request, and those people became our friends, and they showed their friends, who also asked those same questions (in the same order)…and the rest is history! To date, with every sale that we make, we always feel that we not only gain new customers, we have found new friends. The Off-Road Extreme (ORE) TCTeardrop is specifically designed for overlanding. In addition to the standard TCTeardrop features, the ORE package includes many extras such as a Lock N Roll articulating hitch, 3500 lb Torsion Axle, 10” Electric Brakes, extra hitch points, custom tires and wheels…all in one convenient, eye-catching package that can haul your gear and your toys, too! Add your choice of accessories and you can camp off grid anywhere your tow vehicle can take you. There are no dealers, TCTeardrops sells factory direct to the customer, saving you money while working closely with you to build a customized Teardrop camper that will follow behind you like it’s on rails. We know that word of mouth is the best form of advertising, and our customers make a great sales staff! We appreciate any and all feedback that we receive about our business. www.tcteardrops.com.

Those interested in a lightweight, durable, small footprint camping trailer.
