Teardrop caravan trailer
@Pitrailer
THE BASICS
BUILDING
Each pi-trailer is tailored to the owners specific needs.
TIME
It took us approximately 6 months to build the original pi-trailer. Due to our new design the new pi-trailers are made much quicker!
CAMPING
The Pi-trailer features a double bed, a kitchen with cooler and multiple storage cabinets for your belongings!
Plus it uses led lights only!
HOW IT'S MADE
The Pi-trailer was made after we had an idea to built a cozy teardrop trailer. After we made some drawings we CNC'ed the parts needed.
The assembly of the first Pi-trailer took us quite some time and we had a lot of things to figure out on the go.
We wrote down each improvement point and incorperated this into the Pi-trailer II design.
The Pi-trailer II was designed in a Computer Aided Design (CAD) software from the ground up. This took a lot of work, but definitely paid of! The Pi-trailer II was assembled really quick, but the custom work still needs a lot of time and attention.
A few highlights we used for the Pi-trailer II would include: A internal doggy bed, Led lighting all around and a longer back door.
For upholstery we use high quality Marine grade products.

ABOUT US
It was 2016 when we built the first Pi-trailer. The design is done by Piter. His goal was to create a vintage looking teardrop caravan. During this build he was helped by his father, father in law and his brother. Providing the basic needs during a holiday this caravan has become a favourite among the family.
After using the Pi-trailer I on his holiday, Piters father in law wanted to build his own caravan. We designed de new caravan from the ground up. Using computer aided design (CAD) software we could nearly cut the building fase in half! Also the Pi-trailer II features an inside dog stay, extra kitchen cabinets and some more improvements! The Pi-trailer II is finished in the summer of 2018.
