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, every design decision comes down to one question: does it stand up to adventure? From our award-winning construction to our precision-built components, we craft each PinDrop® to go wherever the road (or lack thereof) leads. That’s why, when it comes to the accessories that complete the PinDrop experience, we trust ARB — a brand that, like us, is built on quality, innovation, and a deep love for exploration.

We’re thrilled to announce that PinDrop® Travel Trailers has been invited for the third consecutive year to participate in the LA Auto Show, and we’ll again be part of the prestigious OVR Outpost (presented by OVR Magazine).

Through OVR Outpost, the show has leaned into overlanding, off-road, and outdoor vehicle recreation themes, with dedicated activations, immersive displays, and uni

We’re thrilled to announce that PinDrop® Travel Trailers will be showcasing premium handcrafted micro campers at Overland Expo Mountain West in Loveland, Colorado, August 22–24, 2025.
