"I've never bought a teardrop trailer and I'm concerned that I won't be totally happy..."
We understand that. This isn't like buying a camper off the lot. You wouldn't be talking to us if that's what you wanted anyway. You have your expectations and standards and we have ours, and that can lead to some nerves on both sides. We start every build assuming that your standards are even higher than ours. It means that we have to pay attention to every detail along the way and never just say "that's good enough..." because that may not be good enough for you. We know that most customers won't see their teardrop trailers until delivery and then it is too late to do things better. If we expect to see big smiles on delivery day and get referral customers when our teardrop trailers go out on the road, then we need to focus on every wood joint, every aluminum molding, and every electrical connection. We’ve learned a lot over more than a decade of building and we put it all into each and every build. That's not marketing talk, that's how we build - every day.
So how do we stay focused on your trailer? We build them one at a time, not in a batch of six or eight different models with different options. From start to finish we are working on and thinking about your teardrop trailer. Each task in the build is relatively quick, so we can spend some extra time on any step if needed to make it right. Does working like this slow us down? We don't think so - we're enthused every day because we don't have to slog through the same repetitive task over and over. Batch building? No thanks.
We also understand that when someone appreciates what we do and is willing to trust us enough to build them their teardrop trailer, we have a responsibility to give them our best work. And they have the right to determine if we have succeeded. You get to relax. We get to do the worrying. And that's how we like it.
How To Buy A High Camp Teardrop Trailer
Step One: Come visit us at the shop if you can and take a tour of a High Camp trailer. There is usually a teardrop trailer in some stage of completion in the shop and that is a great time to see all our truly unique construction methods before the trailer gets its aluminum shell. We'll discuss how you envision using the teardrop trailer for camping and go over any options/accessories that might interest you. Not local and can't visit the shop? No problem- we've worked through this process with plenty of customers across the country through phone calls and emails. Ask any questions. Voice any concerns. There’s a reason for everything we do on our trailers and we can talk through anything with you so none of it will be a mystery to you. We have no interest in upselling you anything- our profit is built into the base price of the trailer, not in big mark-ups on accessories and "options". We'll offer our opinion if an option seems like it might improve your camping experience, and will be straight with you if an option doesn't make much sense based on what we have learned about you. Ask more questions. In the end, you decide on what the perfect teardrop trailer is for you and we'll build it wholeheartedly.
Step Two: Commit! Place an initial non-refundable $1,500 initial deposit to reserve your slot in the upcoming build schedule. You don't have to decide on any options yet. There's time for you to figure out exactly what you want and what you don't. When we receive your deposit, we'll put you on the build schedule and send you a deposit receipt for your records. Prefer a particular pickup date? We'll try our best to put you in the schedule for when it is convenient for you.
Step Three: Approximately 8 weeks before your teardrop trailer is slated for completion, you will receive an email from us requesting a second non-refundable $7,500 deposit (“Materials Deposit”) at this time. This allows us to start bringing in the large items (frame, axle, plywood, appliances, etc…) and minimizes delays in the event any of these things are backordered. We’ll also want to begin finalizing your wish list for any Options or Accessories for your build.
Step Four: We build your own High Camp teardrop trailer. There’s a bit of “hurry up and wait” between providing your 2nd deposit and actually getting to take your trailer home, but it’s not long now and you can use this time to start dreaming about how to best outfit you High Camp and getting those camp essentials like wheel chocks, extension cords and trailer locks (we can provide you a list of some of these things). When your trailer is completed, we'll arrange a date for inspection and pickup (or delivery if you are not local).
Step Five: Come get your new trailer. Look over the entire trailer and test everything out. If you believe that we were successful in meeting (and hopefully surpassing) your expectations, you can pay the final balance and we'll hand you the keys (and a Manufacturers Certificate Origin for the DMV). We'll give you a thorough review of everything on the trailer, get you hitched up properly and see you safely off. If you’ve never owned a trailer before, don’t worry- we’ll make sure you’re fully prepared and feeling confident before you hit the road!
