At PinDrop®, every travel trailer is designed and built with purpose, guided by core values rooted in craftsmanship, durability, and thoughtful innovation. Fabricated in rural Arizona by skilled tradesmen, PinDrop trailers represent a premium product made in the USA—one that prioritizes long-term performance over short-term trends. This philosophy has helped establish PinDrop® as an award-winning company and a true luxury micro camper brand in the travel trailer market.

PinDrop® Travel Trailers is proud to participate in Az Tech Week (April 6–12), a statewide, decentralized conference hosted by Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA) which will spotlight people, ideas, and technologies shaping the future of Arizona. As part of this exciting week in innovation, PinDrop® solar powered, luxury micro campers will showcase features and made-in-USA innovation in two separate events.

Every great product starts with a real need. For PinDrop® Travel Trailers, that need came from years spent camping, exploring back roads, and realizing that most trailers weren’t designed for true off-grid adventure.

2025 was a year defined by momentum—on the road, in the factory, with PinDrop clients, and across the communities we serve. As a small but mighty team building luxury micro campers in rural Miami, Arizona, every milestone feels personal. Every partnership, every innovation, every mile traveled adds to the story we’re creating with PinDrop®: a story of premium craftsmanship, sustainability, comfort, and accessible adventure..

Tim and Ruth Ellen, the husband-and-wife team behind PinDrop®, are no different. They spend their days designing and fabricating award-winning luxury micro campers. Headquartered in an historic 120-year-old poured concrete building, they are intentionally working to bring it back to life through adaptive reuse. A typical week is a mix of big things, a balance of projects, and lots of quick decisions - the constant steady steps forward to realizing the dream.

At PinDrop® Travel Trailers, our mission has always been about more than building great micro trailers — we’re about building community, supporting local craft, and promoting adventure in ways that respect place and people. Participating in the Arizona Fall Festival aligns perfectly with these core values. View this solar powered, self contained, micro camper, made in USA.
