To build your own dream Escapod, head on over to escapod.us/tra...! Let us know your thoughts down below!
We've done all the research, all the comparisons and all the tire kicking - ordering ours next year when we downsize and hit the road. There's always something we wish were slightly (or drastically) different on every other trailer from the Bean to the Sol - except the Escapod. It's literally perfect (for us). Happy to see all your success - hard and well earned! Can't wait.....
Thanks for the incredibly kind words, Kent! Glad you found what you need with Escapod!
Am excited about taking a shop tour in about a week! After all my research, I find your product the smartest, affordable with the options AND 4-seasons ready. Well made! we're on your build schedule for May pick up, my BIG bday present. Looking forward to meeting y'all. Thanks for all that you guys have done to make a high quality camper. My friends are already envious.
OMG that teardrop is gorgeous the best I’ve ever wanted to own, I think I drooled on myself watching this video. Maybe one day!
We'll be here when you're ready! We rent them as well, and already have scheduled slots to build new rental trailers for next season, so you'll get to see the latest and greatest.
It’ll cost ya $20k +
Beautiful. Can't wait to come out and visit and see these amazing campers in person.
Hey Myron - You're welcome to come by our shop anytime. Just let me know when works for you and we can get you scheduled for a tour.
Excellent set up & flawless execution. I'm absolutely obsessed with your campers!
Thank you Ryan! We don't take our work lightly.
Love the design! Can’t stop watching Escapod videos. We ordered ours; I can’t wait until we get it. We decided to go with white. More videos please! “)
So excited for you, Diane! More videos to come!
Diane, you should join the Escapod Owners and Enthusiasts group on Facebook!
How is escapod life!?!?!?
Update?
great! this little toy has everything i wish on a trailer!
Thank you, Victor!
The kitchen should be accessed from both inside and outside of the trailer so that you can cook indoors during bad weather, and should have a minimum of two propane tanks, it's nice that it has two batteries, and should have a 40 gallon water tank !!!
Cost twice as much as my NuCamp T@G XL Boondock, but your trailer is more than twice the trailer as my trailer. Great job.
Thanks Indy Dog - This one is really pulling out all the stops. Our average trailer is just over 20k, and still can be out the door for the teens well equipped. This build was just our chance to see how equipped we could make this, and still make everything work seamlessly together.
I was looking at of those NuCamper boondocks teardrops at the dealership in Columbus Ohio
If only I had a spot to put this! This thing looks fantastic. And from my home state!
Man can’t wait to move to Alaska and try to rent one if there’s any up there. Amazing design. 🤙🏽
Thank you Jeffery! If you are ever in Utah, swing by and let's get you in a pod!
Love the design of this trailer, and has everything we're looking for in a tear drop. Hopefully by next year we'll be placing an order for one of these. Incredible work y'all
Awesome! Thanks, Jordan! Let us know if you have any questions.
Have yall gotten the tear drop!?!?!?!?
This trailer looks amazing and the features are definitely on point!! Nice work
Thanks, David!!
Love it! I'm buying one!
Love this! Happy to help whenever you're ready.
Love Your design! It’s definitely one of the best small teardrops for off road adventures! Please get some good financing options! I know it’s expensive but way worth it! Thanks and Great Job !!!!
Hey Adam - In the past we've worked with customers to secure financing by providing a VIN # and working directly with their preferred financial institution. Happy to chat more with you about this directly.
Chris, the new rig looks fantastic. Love the new tires and wheels and the blacked out water heater. I am interested in learning more about your traeger grill options. Any idea when your website will reflect these new options? We are really looking forward to our March 2021 build completion!
Hey David!! Excited for you to get your trailer! The Traeger design is close to complete, so it should be available before you need to lock in your upgrades. Glad you're liking what you see!
Ok, I built something similar in your website and it came above 30k 😖😖😖, with that in mind, is the outer shell just plywood with a decal cover or for that price is at least lined with aluminum sheeting?
Would love to own this!! You guys did a great job. Way out of my price range, should have only shown me the base model now im ruined. 🥲
Great video. As always, great product. It’s obviously all the bells and whistles included. How much is the build shown here?
So, our average build comes in around 23,000. We still have great trailers to offer under 20k, but this one has the whole shebang, and comes in at $32, 885. (there were some features included but not focused on in this video - see the description for a full feature list).
Will south africa ever get to see the escapod ?
We hope so! We haven't done internationally shipping yet, but definitely hope to in the future.
Super cool build! And only 2200 lbs? I think my grandma could pull that. (Well, she’s gone, but you get the idea! Lol). ❤️❤️❤️
Appreciate it! Grandma could definitely pull it!
Good looking trailer! The window covers look great (I need dark to sleep well 😴), and the screens too. Love that both are magnetic. Love that solar panel too!! Not sure I like the table as the cabinet cover. Has the potential to be annoying having to remove it every time I want to access that area, but maybe you just pull it every time you stop regardless of need for table.
Do any cabinet areas pass through to the inner trailer? And how does the new suspension setup compare to Timbrens? Do you do Rock Sliders? Any issues with the overhead window leaking? Windows facing up, and on curved surfaces, make me very nervous! 😬
We are between this and the Meaner Bean. This is more streamlined, and I believe has much better ground clearance, but less head space for sure. Everything has pros/cons. Looks like a great setup! And nice Stealie on the Jeep. 🤩💀
Hey Kevin - Thanks for the questions. Got some answers for you:
1. Table is meant to be removed and setup at basecamp. This offers much more function space over a horizontally sliding cabinet face, which creates a lot of dead space.
2. No pass throughs. We've always felt this feature to be a bit gimmicky. Part of cooking outside is eating outside :)
3. New suspension is designed for the weight and geometry of our trailers, so for us, it far outweighs the Timbren. Timbren makes a good product, but it's overbuilt, and as a rubberized suspension system not as advanced as our trailing arm setup with coil-over shocks.
4. We do not do rock sliders, but have up to 25" of clearance on our tallest models.
5. No stargazer window issues. In the past we used an industry standard window that didn't cut the mustard, so we have a premium window that is mounted to a flat stud under the aluminum roof.
6. Less headroom indeed, but that also means more aerodynamic, more room to mount things on the roof, and the ability to store it in your garage. As for weather less is truly less...we feel our headroom is perfect for sleeping and sitting, anything extra would compromise too much in the areas mentioned above.
Hope this helps! Sorry for the long wait on a response :)
Did you ever buy a trailer? Which one? How you liking it? Thanks!
@@dhrtiwalter8670 we never did. We rented one and had a blast. Not sure if we will end up making a purchase at some point or not. Here’s a link to the video I made of our rental from TeardropsNW: ua-cam.com/video/ZHxKpkh0QKE/v-deo.html
@@EscapodTrailers we’re on the East Coast- where we often find ourselves camping in tropical storms so have periods of times where we can’t cook or eat outside. Pass throughs are on our bucket list and it’s not because they’re gimicky. Just a thought for future models. 🤷♀️
Awesome - but none of them have Toilet solutions? While I’m sure us fellas can get it done but my kids and Wife - Hard no! Thoughts?
We currently don't have any bathroom solutions equipped in our trailer, but we do have some options listed in our Amazon Shop that we recommend to our customers to help with this issue! We have them listed under campsite utilities in on this page: www.amazon.com/shop/escapodtrailers?listId=1IXC6KW878JZP
I want one...
Do you have some kind of shower curtain that can deploy on the side of the hot water heater?
How many gallons for the water tank? Have you installed extra water?
Love the options here but would love to have all solar generated including electric stove if that’s an option. What is the time frame to build one?
Where do you wash dishes, hands....no sink? i get the shower attachment but a wash pan, where to stow?
What brand light bar is that with the remote control? What length? Color Temp 4100?
Love 90% of this design. The 10% would be the water hook ups on the fender, shower box sticks out, and standard hitch.
Suggestions would be.....
make the show box portable, and stow-able in the galley.
Have the water hook ups recessed more upwards, or relocate all together. Maybe add a 10ft extension from underneath the trailer with quick disconnects.
Flex joint hitch.
Can these be ordered with 37" tires? Currently have a 2016 JKUR 4" lift,and 37's. I ahve to use a hitch drop all the time,and it sucks on our PNW trails as the damned thing loves to scrape.
Lastly Sick LJ! #Jeeplife
Thanks for sharing! We always love hearing feedback from prospective customers. We have the option to upgrade our standard 2” hitch receiver to a max coupler fully articulating hitch. This upgrade allows for a more secure connection so you can confidently navigate highly technical terrain like steep approach or descent angles.
The max tire size our fender design can accommodate is 285/70R17, at 32.7” diameter. 37" tires are a little too big.
Nice teardrop, you guys build a nice quality trailer. You should seriously consider expanding your line and doing a square-drop model! Teardrops are quaint and have that old school charm and all... which are features that probably sell a lot of units... but the square-drop design is a much more efficient use of space in the same small foot-print.
I actually looked at and seriously considered your trailers when shopping, you were in the top 5... but in the end I went with a different brand to get a square-drop design. See why in a couple videos of on my channel BirdPhish, titled .....Expedition 2.0 by Off Grid Trailers at Trona Pinnacles (walkaround video) and the other is Expedition 2.0 by Off-Grid Trailers goes to "The Playa" - Black Rock Desert
Thanks for the feedback. Every company definitely has their niche. We landed on the teardrop shape as one that is both aesthetic and functional in certain ways, plus we kinda liked the challenge of optimizing space within an organic shape. To each their own! Enjoy your travels.
I must get this! I am 6'3 would this be long enough for me to lay down in?
It sure would - We've had renters up to 6'6" fit comfortably in our cabin.
Beautiful trailer..great presentation.
Does it have a airconditioner...?
Price as presented...?
Thank you
@Victoria Cavazos
Thank you for the response.
I really have this in my top 2. A couple questions. Can you upgrade the maxx fan with the rain guard? Is the water system suitable for drinking if its sanitized? Can i purchase an additional table? Can the undercarriage be “rhino lined” instead of the fabric? Thanks i am sure i will have more questions as we try and decide.
Hello JT! Thank you for your inquiries.
The fan comes standard, and we do not currently offer an upgrade from MaxxAir 4-speed exhaust fan. You can purchase a MaxxAir FanMate vent cover separately if you are worried about rain. Of course, the cover adds significant height so you just have be aware if you're looking to mount anything to the roof racks.
The water system is suitable for drinking water. We recommend filling with a BPA free hose (we provide one with your trailer purchase).
You can absolutely purchase an additional table, as well as additional table mounts.
The underbelly of the trailer has a PVC liner attached to the galvanized frame. As such, it cannot be Rhino-lined. We have not had any issues with this from customer trailers or our rental trailers.
Feel free to email if you have additional questions! hello@escapod.us!
Okay honest question! Does this trailer come with the roof top tend?
I didn’t see a sink - is there an option to have one installed?
Hi Myrna, due to concerns about leakage and our trailer having exposed wood, we do not offer the option to install a sink in the Original TOPO. However, our TOPO2 trailer comes standard with a sink! It is made out of a composite core eliminating concerns over water / wood exposure.
Where is the water tank for that on-demand?
The water tank is located underneath the trailer behind the axel!
How much something like that
Is that a new water heater and water heater enclosure you are using? Will that be the standard on all new builds?
Hey Brandon - Sure is, and sure will.
Is it smaller and/or more streamlined vs the old one? I remember the old one being really large and boxy, but I didn’t notice this one being different. Maybe because it is black I just didn’t notice or see it as clearly. EDIT: Rewatched and does appear to be much lower profile (sticks out less) compared to past one. Excellent upgrade! 🙌🏼
How do I get that one ??? In blue accents
Hi David, the color way that has blue coloring to the pod itself would be our Original Red. We currently don't do customizations but, you could definitely add blue accents post build!
What are the dimensions of the tongue box to store a porta potti instead of the cooler? Would I be able to wheel this around?
Roughly 22" x 22" x 30". I'd recommend a trailer dolly to move it around for storage or at a flat campsite. It's liftable, but not too maneuverable by hand, especially with all these add-ons.
Love it!!!
What's the estimated time this set up would last without the solar power?
Hard to say. It's entirely dependent on use, which can vary tremendously.
Which specific insulted window covers were those?
They are made locally here in Salt Lake City by Overland Gear Guy. It's a custom design for Escapod trailers, but he makes a bunch of great stuff!
Not everyone wants a yeti cooler for beer or shades to sleep in after a late night drunk
Everyone has a different set of needs/style! People can choose not to add-on the shades and have the yeti cooler removed.
Ha. I watched this to learn how to pronounce "escaped" and you never said the word. On to the next video I guess. Nice build BTW.
Haha! Love it. Sorry to disappoint! It's pronounced esc-uh-pod 😁 escapade + pod not escape + pod
still not a fan of the rounded design ... too many places where extra space is lost that could be storage or better paths for plumbing the water tank to the on demand hot water without ever needing to add a hose in font of one of your doors ...
An understandable concern, but we have nearly no wasted space on our trailer. The routing of the plumbing for the water system was a strategic choice to keep the plumbing on the exterior of the trailer to protect it in the rare case that there's a leak.
