FAQs
-
Can my vehicle tow a Pin Drop Travel Trailer?We recommend a minimum 2,500# tow capacity. Every vehicle manufacturer recommends a maximum towing capacity, so check your owner's manual. Also, you will need a tow package which at a minimum must include a receiver hitch that accepts a 2" ball receiver and a 7 blade RV connector socket for the electrical connection. Our trailer's dry weight is between 1,500-1,950 pounds depending on which model you choose and accessories you add. Keep in mind that all your gear weighs quite a bit, and our trailers can hold from 12-44 gallons of water. Don't push the limits of your vehicle!
-
What is the lead time of a Pin Drop Travel Trailer?Our current lead time is 16 weeks. Depending on the season, our lead time can range from 16 weeks - 9 months, so if you're considering a purchase, it's a good idea to place a refundable earnest deposit to secure your place in the production queue. This deposit can be transferred from batch to batch so you can choose which batch works best with your schedule, and it is fully refundable if you change your mind. And while you are waiting for your trailer to be built, why not consider renting one from us to whet your appetite? A weekend rental can be refunded upon your purchase.
-
How long can I boondock in a Pin Drop Travel Trailer?The solar and electrical systems are designed to allow campers to stay out in remote locations indefinitely with appropriate sunlight and cautious power consumption. We have a massive power bank with 320 amp/hours of storage, and a maximum of 510 watts of solar input, so even in the less sunny areas of our country you can boondock without worry of running out of power with proper planning. Our Pin Drops hold 12-44 gallons of water depending on which model you choose and the propane tank holds 2.4 gallons.
-

Do your trailers come with a toilet?Nope. There’s simply no room in a teardrop for a toilet. You can opt for an awning with an enclosed privacy room and stow a composting toilet, stay in a campground with facilities, or do nature’s business by digging a hole with a shovel and the #LeaveNoTrace philosophy. Learn more here.
-
Do your trailers have heating and air conditioning?The short answer is YES. The long answer requires some explanation. Pin Drop Travel Trailers boast an extremely tight building envelope, we have developed a process of injecting 2" of closed cell foam that fully encapsulated the cabin with R-15 insulation. Our revolutionary design, the Eco-Cool Ventilation System keeps campers cool and comfortable in the summer. Learn more here. During the harshest of winter months, we offer a programmable heating blanket that takes the edge off and provides campers with the best night's sleep possible. Learn more here.
-
Does my purchase of a Pin Drop come with a warranty?Absolutely. We offer a two year warranty on workmanship and materials. Components and fixtures come with their own warranty which may extend beyond two years. The XPLOR solar panels are 25 years, the Victron electrical components are 10 years, the Dakota Lithium battery bank is 11 years. If any warranty issues arise, we strive to address the issue remotely before requiring the trailer be delivered to our production facility to correct.
-
Can you match my tow vehicles wheels and tires?We work closely with our trusted suppliers to provide the highest quality wheels and tires to move you safely to your next camping experience. We prefer to offer a narrower tire that results in less drag for better efficiency while towing. That said, we can match your tow rig's wheel, lug pattern and tire at additional expense.
-
Do you have trailers for rent?YES! We have a rental program and we encourage you to sample a Pin Drop first before buying. In fact, we’ll credit a two night stay toward your purchase. Click here for more information.
-
Can I customize my trailer or add additional accessories?Absolutely! All our models are designed to be plug and play ready for any accessory at any time. We can even add them after you purchase! If you decide later you would prefer to have a fridge over a dry storage compartment, we can change out the components and plug in your fridge, its all pre-wired and pre-fabricated to accept any upgrade we offer.
-
How can I avoid paying sales tax on my purchase of a Pin Drop?All our pricing includes the local sales tax of Miami, AZ, currently at 9.1%. There is no way to avoid paying those taxes, even if you purchase our product online through our website. The taxes collected support a community in a rural corner of our state, so you can feel good that your purchase is helping to keep a city which used to be a heavyweight in the Arizona economy, alive and thriving. #ResurrectRural

Do I need to plug in to shore power to run my accessories?Absolutely not! Pin Drop Travel Trailers are designed to be fully self contained and powered by the sun. Unless you’re camping in the Alaskan winter (not recommended) there is no need to plug in. Under normal use you should have no issues with lack of power. When storing your camper, make sure to plug in to the provided port to top off and maintain your battery bank.
