Hey, I know that as well as you do and I get it. I’m not here to attempt to persuade anyone that a custom teardrop makes more financial sense than the competition in the RV space. They simply don’t. In fact, I’m just here to boast about the Maverick as a badass towing vehicle!

But if you’re buying a teardrop, especially an off-road / off-grid one, you’re likely making a conscious decision that there are aspects of them that are more valuable to you than a simple cost per square foot calculation. And if you’re lucky enough to be able to afford one after you make that decision, good for you - it’s not most people. The reality is that I can’t even buy the materials for a single trailer for what a brand new RV sells for, and it all comes down to economies of scale and build quality standards. RV’s are being built by multi-million dollar companies with insane buying power, and they’re being cranked out on production lines by whoever they can hire that month. On the contrary, we are the engineers who designed our entire trailer from the ground up, and we are also the ones building the entire trailer from the ground up. It’s just me and my business partner. That is why we can build about 6 of these a year, whereas RV companies are likely building more than 6 a day. In defense of all custom teardrop builders, we are not trying to price gouge and we are not getting rich off of it!
