Terra Drop heavy duty tear drop trailer by Oregon TrailR : Overland Expo 2018
If you are in the market for one of the highest quality off road tear drop trailers available then you need to take a look at the trailers made by Oregon Trail'R.
Btw their tear drop trailers actually look like "tear drop" trailers of the past and not a square box on wheels. To some that is important.
If you go off road over rocks and ruts then you know how bad trailers get beat up. A cheap trailer will fall apart after a couple trips in the back country.
For example I rented a U-Haul trailer to move furniture in the city and it handled like crap on regular paved roads due to the cheap torsion bar axles and craptastic tires....so you can imagine how bad that level of low quality handles off road.
The trailers by Oregon TrailR are built to the highest quality with waterproof UV film treated woods, high quality TIMBREN suspensions, stainless steel chassis parts so it doesn't rust when scrapped and old world craftsmanship in a small shop in Eugene Oregon. They build their trailers to be heirlooms that can be handed down to your grandkids.
Can you build a cheaper trailer yourself? Sure you can...but Oregon TrailR has perfected their craft and that is what you pay for.

Thanks for watching.
I really like those peek a boo shots of the glare and of the bright sun, keep it up with the great videos
They thought of everything. Really impressive. Another great video Mix.
I guess im randomly asking but does anyone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot the password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me.
@Alfonso Carlos Instablaster :)
@Tate Hamza I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Tate Hamza it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thank you so much you saved my account !
@Alfonso Carlos glad I could help :)
great product and excellent walk through!
Love the product, their enthusiasm seems genuine. Fantastic
Love your vids. You're giving us a great deal of insight in to this really cool way of life.
Nicely done ! Over built good product! As a Trucker I definitely approve of the trailer hitch!👍🏼
I love these little tear drop campers, thanks for sharing
Impressive demo. Seems to be real attention to detail here in construction and design, overbuilt where it needs to be, and passionately presented.
By far best teardrops I've seen. I want one of those!
Excellent product, excellent presentation, wish everyone concerned with it , huge success.
Another great vid, Mix. Thanks. Btw, you have a real eye for good gear.
Wow, you guy’s build some nice stuff!
Good video walkthrough. I want one of these to tow behind my Rover so bad.
Great video
Genius idea with the mirror access.
Exceptional conceptualization and engineering... well thought out. Quite impressive... time for Sasquatch hunting.
Awesome product. Such attention to details.
ldn0224 As an experienced woodworker, I agree. It’s beautiful! As a former owner of a camper made out of wood, I I wouldn’t even pay half of what they are asking for. I love wood! It’s beautiful but it rots! And these trailers have no insulation value. Just a sheet of plywood. The finish looks amazing when it’s new but 5 years in, when the plywood starts to crack and delaminates, it’s all over.
Great vid !
Awesome video ! I am into camping but my wife is not . Luckily we live in the woods in Massachusetts so our everyday life is luxury camping . Love your channel !
Thats a good way to look at it. You guys are clamping every day!!! I envy you.
Wow I am completely blown away by this video I tell you what if the military had camping trailers these guys would be the ones that they would be pulling👍👍💪
That's a neat little trailer...
I love that you utilize the trucking industry T-track for cargo hold-downs. Usage of existing products is much better than the "proprietary connectors" ruse to sell me more crap that isn't versatile with my other equipment. I WOULD like the water tank a little more protected when off-roading and cold. Nice job though.
Thanks for the great video Mixflip! It was nice talking with you again at the show. If you do end up in our area, come on by for a visit!
OregonTrailR it was awesome catching up with you as well. Keep up the incredible work.
OregonTrailR you never showed the top tent option
Whoops! Are there any questions we can answer about it for you?
Awesome product the person giving the interview did a great job sharing everything about his product I really like your content thanks a lot for doing what you do cool man real cool pictures of that able to make two I like go to Long hanging up with you
Finally , someone who knows how to design a teardrop!
Excellent Accessory for a Jeep!!!
great job on the video
love the outside lighting system, red light, diff color temps, and other nice design features. but personally i need more window area and ventilation.
Oregon Trail’R. Brilliant.
Really cool I’m getting one!
Thanks for that very informed video, this guy does really know his stuff, although I don’t live in the states, I am going to purchase something similar here in Spain . Oh yeh I’m also ex military , ha .love it .
tremendous products by Oregon Trail'R
Thank you Mario, much appreciated!
Nice vid.
thanks nice video terrific demostration very good very good
Great video walk through. I appreciate the time you put into it.
Enjoyed your video. I ordered the Oregon Trail'r "Do-Drop a few months ago. Can't wait for delivery :)
Rick & Zack Explore Offroad awesome!
This is the BEST I’ve seen in this category.
bruder, exp-4.....
Nice video thanks
Hello, What is the approximate current lead time segmented into separate actual waiting time + production time for a fully-loaded TerraDrop? What is the approximate current lead time segmented into separate actual waiting time + production time for a basic TerraDrop? Thanks! Patrick
Great video! I was wondering if there were any vendors producing the swag style camper that is very popular in Australia?
Would love to get more info on, your Teardrop camper!!!!!
So where is there any space for a cooler or refrig?
Hey Mixflip, I would completely delete the video that has him quoting these at 5500.00 (only a year and a half ago) because after talking with them and getting a quote, the price has doubled for a base model of the DoDrop Alpha! Apparently tripled according to this video! I REALLY wanted to buy one of these but after that experience with the astronomical jump in price, I'm not feeling it anymore. Real bummer too😔. Being from the PNW, I was getting good vibes for one of these and the fact they're brothers. Having brothers myself, it just kinda felt good.
That is a bummer
This market is an extremely niche market. Very boutique. 1 to 5 people in a company which often leads to higher prices. Winnebago makes thousands of campers a year so their prices are lower due to volume. These guys probably make a handful a year and they are only built when an order is made. if they have no orders...they don't eat. The up side is that you are buying a work of art. Very rare. Jayco is finally getting into the game so you will see their campers for a lot cheaper...but its a Jayco lol.
Perfect👍
Do they have a way to put a fridge or direct water heater I mean $34k they should be able to right?
I think this whole Overland TT, TD, and RTT's are just awesome! Getting ready to go to the Overland Expo East next week. Are you guys going to be there? If not, do you have dealers, in the east? If I had to purchase from you in Oregon, How would I get something fixed under warranty living in South Carolina, Love that Terra Drop Alpha! Oh Yeah, my wife wants to know can you get air conditioning in one? It's her, not me, she's from the South! , LOL.
Love vortex red dots
I see that more than on teardrop is shown, can I have a breakdown of what the cost is for each one shown?
good presentation
buck rowley thanks for watching
Awesome teardrops! Will the line-x option be available in different colors?
Yes sir! They are able to tint it a few different colors, or it can be painted any color with a polyurethane-based paint.
The best teardrop that’s so underrated 🥶🥶🥶 this thing is sick
What does it weigh?
I really like the dew drop alfa
Me too. Its tiny and very cool looking with that wheel on the back!
Great video once again Mixflip. Subscribed! These are probably the best teardrop style trailers out there imo. Well thought out and excellent craftmanship! I'm curious about the decals (?) on the line-x. The flag and white and red oregon trail'r logo's....are those painted on or are they vinyl decals that have been melted into the line-x? Great stuff guys!
Steve, thanks for the kind words! We apply the vinyl very carefully using lots of heat and a special pressure roller. Not easy, but works well!
Daaaammmnnnn... Love it
Omg! Epic trailer
Epic is the perfect word for sure.
I'm sold love how the basic is$15k but that leaves so much room for you to add to it especially if ur on a budget maybe next year man I want one
ponyboy thanks for watching. I'll get one some day. Just gotta save up.
Thanks Sir! That’s why we offer options ala carte, so you can customize it however works best for you. We appreciate the comment!
OregonTrailR I was impressed with the look an building of ur trler very solid design
No space for the fridge?
Is there instant hot water, tankless heaters, on these models? Or just on the shower tube?
Can a arb fridge be added?
I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just a suggestion, it would be cool to see aftermarket videos of different products like the windows and other things for overland trailers/vehicles
I had planned to film more products but I was running late to this show and lost a full day. Then ran out of time because the show was double the size of last year. Next year I plan to stay all 4 days and film both the rigs and the gear. One man can't film this show it has become a monster of a show!
mixflip I'm wanting to build a toy hauler type tear drop where the bed folds down and you can put a couple dirt bikes or maybe a quad in it. I'm just having a hard time finding good quality products to buy for it. I really enjoy both your pew pew channel and this one as well. Keep up the great work!👌
Black brings heat to the living space
adriancarabajal It doesn’t matter at night. Is an outdoor piece of equipment designed for the adventurer. However, your point warns a point.
Great job the trailer, but more importantly great job on having a good heart and spirit - it's all over your face keep it up
i need this!!!
WOW, awesome trailer!
A slide out for a portable fridge would be really nice
jhonatan que tipo de recubrimento usaste como se llama el material en el terradrop alpha, si fueras tan amable de describirlo ya no usas aluminio, si pudieses publicarlo en fotos saludos de peru
Thanks for watching
Video after video and no one will lay down and show us the room that's there...I don't get it? Unless it's so uncomfortable to do it or people are just absent minded?
The Alpha is Nice.
That would look nice behind my Hyundai i30 here in Ireland
can u tell me what to look at if wonting to pull trailer with ATV. 1500 lbs at max. Keep doing what u r doing
look at Smitty Built
Does it have a spare tire also is e270 degree awning available
you can ad a spare
Nice trailers but they need to start using composites to replace the wood. That would reduce the weight significantly. Good to see the use of an articulating hitch.
Composites do have their advantages, for sure, and there are plenty of campers out there being built with them. We prefer using Baltic Birch plywood because of it's massive strength/stiffness potential when combined with furniture-style joinery techniques (can't do with most composites), it's ability to be easily repaired if necessary, and also because it's just plain gorgeous. The feeling you get when laying inside one of our campers, watching all the beautiful grain flow throughout the cabin, simply cannot be replicated by composite materials. Thanks for the comment Gary.
Hey man this is Chris I met you today at the Flagstaff expo I’ll see you tomorrow and Sunday I think but if not and you still need somebody to take your trailer back, because your buddy transmission went out let me know and give me a call!
I'm 6"3 200lbs. will this work for my wife and I? What is cost?
watch the video, he answers your questions
since it has 2 doors opposite each other i think they missed a big oppurtunity to stick a whole door sized slide out storgage compartment that fit in the bed area for transport that quickly slides out when you need the bed. Could double interior storage option and or built in gear that isnt any room for elsewhere.
Good idea.
A fold down bag with waterproof lid hooked onto the side step, would be good for shoes and gloves to go in.
I was just thinking where the best place to put shoes........ Great idea!
Hey when's the next overland expo in flagstaff for 2020?
I dont know. I would have to Google it.
May 15-17,2020
I’m in Fortuna Ca can you deliver?
How Much $ As Shown?
Do they have the weights on the website?
Hi there, we don't have all the weights listed, because it varies so much with options. For example, both the TerraDrops in this video are in the 1500-1600 lb range, and the DoDrops are around 900 lbs. Base TerraDrop is closer to 1300lbs, and base DoDrop is around 500lbs. Thanks!
It’s a little misleading I’ve been on their website and the base model for the Terradrop is like $16K. The DO drop base model is the one that is only around $5k- but that one doesn’t come with the galley/kitchen in the back which is kind of key.... so I’m a little confused but if it’s actually only $5k for the base model of this one I am SOLD! :P
It's like any other big ticket item. There is a bare bones budget starting point....and it can go up from there depending on the features you want these custom builders to ad into the design when you sit down with them before the build. Remember this is basically a small family business with no dealerships and almost no mainstream marketing. It's also all hand made and here is the biggest of all....its all made in America and that right there is expensive. Believe it or not China makes off road trailers too.
I want one bad...im torn between the do-drop and terra-drop...I live near Tucson and plan on doing heavy duty off roading...where can you put a spare tire on the terra-drop? And get ready boys, cause im running 35s on 17 inch wheels! Whats your wait time?
Awesome, glad to hear it! Here's something you won't hear from most companies... I think you'd be better off with the less-expensive model (based on what I know so far). While both are very highly off-road capable, the DoDrop Alpha is better suited for the extreme stuff. This isn't a durability issue, it's about real-use consideration. The DoDrop is a solid 12" narrower, making tighter turns possible and obstacle avoidance much easier. It is also roughly half the weight, making life much easier on your tow rig (and on a recovery vehicle if you manage to get stuck). TerraDrop Alpha can handle anything DoDrop Alpha can, but at 80" wide it's a bit wider than most tow rigs, and longer from tip of tongue to axle-center, meaning it's turning radius isn't as good, which can be a dealbreaker on switchback trails or very narrow trails. That said, a really good driver can always find a way! We'd be happy to build either for you, but we are also happy to give you our real-world feedback from off-roading both of these trailers. In tight, technical trails, DoDrop is a clear winner. But if your particular brand of off-roading allows for the extra width and weight, having the extra space and creature comforts of TerraDrop is awesome. The spare can be mounted either underneath TerraDrop (still will have 15+ inches of ground clearance with a standard spare), on the roof rack or a tongue rack, or we could likely come up with something special if you wanted it mounted to the side or similar... Check out the following link to see a quick snippet of DoDrop Alpha taking on the rock-garden at Overland Expo a couple months back- kzhead.info/sun/arWRdbWIg5GqdWw/bejne.html
I know it’s windy but seriously the wind feedback is crazy bad. Content was awesome just painful 💓
Damn!🤩
Very well made overall I just wish the inside was a little larger.
You could buy a used van for much less than $34,000 and build out the inside yourself and have much more room.
@@remyllebeau77 Valiant expedition campers can build an extra tall camper like this for you.
Sliding doors only ! No room for swing doors !
You need a foam cover over your microphone to dampen the wind noise.
I had one earlier. It broke so I just rolled with the on board mic.
Pretty sweet. But wayyyy out of my price range. Looks like a tent is still in my future
You and me both. Look at hiker trailers maybe if you want a budget option. Their bare bones model starts at $3k. Also weeroll and runaway campers makes a $3k budget camper.
I wonder if they can put exterior bluetooth speakers
Anything is possible with enough money and time
That is Bad Ass ... I love it .. Mahalo
thanks for watching
How much money are we talking to you about for the Alpha
It's in the video.
Hello, what kind of RTT was on top of that camper?
That's a Free Spirit Recreation (FSR) RTT. Our first trip with one, and it performed awesome. Very quick deployment and tear-down.
Yea but that price- It's hard for me to see where that all is.
Love everything about this video and the trailer. The host asked excellent questions, and the owner was super knowledgeable and down to earth. He could’ve been arrogant given the obvious high quality product he makes, but he showed himself as a good guy. The ONLY thing to dislike about the entire video was those d@mn chemtrails, seen at 29:00, taking over the otherwise blue skies.
see that chemtrail triangle at 13:43 and again at 21:10 (where a pilot is laying down another) and then see how much it has grown and fanned out at 29:00. If we don't get geoengineering exposed and stopped there won't be any wilderness to overland and camp at.
agree there
Would be great if they actually responded to the quote requests that I’ve done on their website.
Matt Atkinson super Sorry about that Matt, we are a tiny crew of 3, and we have thousands of quote requests backlogged. My brother spends a couple hours a day getting back to people in order of when they came in, but they are coming in faster than we can get to them... please give us a call Monday and let us know you are waiting. You’ll be fast tracked to the front of the line. Once again, my sincere apologies for the wait, we are doing our best!
Man I fuking want one bad
Nice trailer. Trump needs one to hide out in too. I am an advocate of riding folding recumbent trikes. Your trailer has an opening wide enough to fit these inside during transit. Your tent is fantastic. The Baltic Birch for the cabinets is superb. Everything you have done is so well thought out. Thanks.
TRUMP 2020. :-)
Trump 2020! Ivanka 2024
@@hamradiocq Trumputin is toast. He needs to get fitted for an orange prison jumpsuit.
Can it be pulled by a atv
joshua bryant sure....if the ATV has a V8.
Hey Joshua, this one weighs 1650 lbs, so I'd wager it's a bit heavy and wide to comfortably tow with an atv, however, check out our DoDrop. Basic model weighs 515 lbs, and is a full 12" narrower.
