PinDrop® Approved Cuisine: Coconut Green Curry with Shrimp and Crispy Tofu Made in the Galley Kitchen. It's a dish that feels elevated enough for a special evening in camp but is simple enough to prepare after a day spent hiking, exploring, or relaxing outdoors. It's both nourishing and delicious. It's versatile, accommodating different diets and serves both small or large groups.

Accessibility, safety, and convenience are at the forefront of every PinDrop® build, which is why more women are opting in. Not all travel trailers are created equal.

Every detail has been engineered and tested to eliminate the little frustrations that often keep people from camping. Here are the 7 top features that make PinDrop the choice

One of the greatest luxuries of camping is having exactly what you need, where you need it. At PinDrop Travel Trailers, every feature is designed with that philosophy in mind including our proprietary PinDrop® Solar Shower System.

In the newest issue, PinDrop® founder Tim Elinski recounts a four-day journey along the legendary El Camino del Diablo, one of the most remote and historic routes in the American Southwest. The article explores the challenges, scenery, and rewards of traveling through this rugged desert landscape while highlighting the importance of self-sufficient, off-grid adventure.

PinDrop® can be strategically planted in a remote campsite near any trailhead. This guarantees access to amenities and the ability to go farther and stay out longer. Imagine returning from a backcountry hiking trip, still hours or even days from civilization with access to a hot shower, nourishing hot food, comfortable sleeps, and a stellar view.

For a location tucked away in the forest, the turnout was remarkable. A special thank-you goes to everyone who reached out for the coordinates, navigated the dirt roads, followed the discreet cairns, and made the effort to join us in the wild for a true camping experience. Seeing so many owners and future owners around camp was one of many highlights of the weekend.

I completed a 1,500-mile trip through Southern Arizona and into western New Mexico, traveling across five Arizona counties and camping for nine nights along the way. The route was designed to explore mining history, Spanish colonial-era sites, and remote backroads across the region, while also testing the ability to travel and camp comfortably in isolated areas in our PinDrop Travel Trailer.

On May 13th from 6-8 p.m., PinDrop® will once again set up at Peace Outfitters for the official Overland Expo West Pre-Event Showcase. Set right in the heart of downtown Flagstaff, Arizona this gathering offers a more approachable and personal environment than the scale of the Expo itself. It’s a chance to get up close and personal with a PinDrop® Travel Trailer, and talk shop with Founder Tim.

Something different is happening this year, and it’s being built around our PinDrop® customers. Not a booth. Not a display. Not something to walk past, but something to be part of. During Overland Expo West weekend May 14-16, while the main grounds fill with crowds and polished builds, a group of PinDrop® Stewards will be setting up camp just outside it all: intentional, personal, and removed from the bustle. Celebrate with us for the inaugural PinDrop Summit.

When Drew of Playing With Sticks takes a closer look, it’s worth tuning in. In this 19-minute feature, Drew Hasen visits with PinDrop® Founder Tim Elinski for a full walkthrough of this award-winning travel trailer. What follows is a straightforward, no-fluff look at how PinDrop® actually works in the field, why it’s built the way it is, and what makes it stand apart from the typical teardrop micro camper.

El Camino del Diablo —The Devil’s Highway— is the latter. A scorched corridor of desert stretching across the Arizona–Sonora border, it has tested explorers, migrants, soldiers, and surveyors for centuries. It is a place where water determines survival, silence carries weight, and preparation is not optional. In the coming weeks, PinDrop® Founder Tim Elinski will travel this historic route alongside media and collaborators, not to conquer it, but to listen to it.

El Camino del Diablo is an historic road shaped by time, endurance, and struggle. For thousands of years, this trail has been walked by Indigenous travelers, explorers, and migrants each leaving little behind. To move through this place is to slow down, to listen, and to travel with humility. This menu is inspired by the history of Arizona and this historic road. Prepared simply in the PinDrop® galley kitchen, each meal is paired with an Arizona wine and meant to be shared in
