9 Reasons People Buy an Escapod

Have you decided now is the time to buy a teardrop trailer to upgrade your camping experience, but don't know which one to choose? We can't tell you what goes into everyone's decision, but we can tell you the top 9 reasons people buy an Escapod. Read on to find out why!

Here at Escapod, attention to detail is one of our top priorities. This is evident throughout the entire process of the build, from beginning to end. Our team is dedicated to providing the best fit and finish on each of our builds. They do this at every stage of the process, beginning with the quality of materials we use.

As a trailer progresses through the build process, we have quality control checks to ensure that every weld is clean, make sure the joints between pieces of wood are seamless and that the entire build meets our standard.

This allows us to create a top-of-the-line product that provides our customers with the confidence to hit the open road.

As Escapod partner, Chris Eckel, says “good taste is objective”. We like to joke that Escapod customers objectively have great taste.

Our trailer’s designs are incredibly mindful and have been mastered by our team. The shape of both the Original TOPO and TOPO2 are neither too boxy nor too bubbly. We are always aiming to create a refined modern aesthetic balanced with rugged details.

All Escapods are built to go anywhere you desire. If your vehicle can go off-road, your pod can follow. This gives you the opportunity to get to unique places that you used to only dream of camping. With the proprietary Freeride Suspension, we can make these dream places a reality for every camper.

Our proprietary Freeride Suspension System is built around a shock and spring design that exists perpendicular to a trailing arm. The shock and spring work together to control both the compression & rebound of the trailer as you travel over bumpy terrain. Since each wheel moves independently of the other, you gain even more control. If you want to learn more about our Freeride Suspension check out our blog: Introducing Escapod’s Proprietary Freeride Suspension System.

Unlike other companies, who have a plethora of models to choose from, we have only two. Our models are well equipped at the base level. Then, you have the opportunity to add options to get exactly what you need to best suit your experience.

The Original TOPO has 29 options for you to customize your build. This provides you with the opportunity to create your dream trailer. The base model TOPO2 comes more fully built-out, but still has 17 options to consider to make it your own.

Purchasing an Escapod comes with a free perk: it gives you (and your nearest and dearest) the opportunity to get out and spend more time in nature.

Spending time outdoors comes with a few benefits for everyone:

- Provides more opportunities for physical activity

- Relieves stress, anxiety, & depression

- Improves mood

- Helps you soak up extra vitamin D

- Allows you to breathe in better quality air

While there are many ways to reconnect with nature, an Escapod can get you out there with a bed as comfortable as yours at home.

We use a 5” memory foam mattress in the Original TOPO and a 6” version in the TOPO2. Both give you the comfort of home to provide a great night's sleep and come with the added perk of waking up surrounded by Mother Nature.

While the size of our models is often described as cute, that “cute” factor comes with some major benefits. One is that it takes up significantly less space than other towable trailers.

Our teardrop trailer models can easily fit inside your garage, which provides extra security for you and you won’t need to worry about finding a place to store your pod when it isn't in use!

The Original TOPO with the standard suspension stands at 76”, if you upgrade to our Freeride Suspension it will come in 78”. The TOPO2 comes standard with our Freeride Suspension and clocks in at 82” in height, but can still fit in most standard 7’ garages!

Going from tent camping to an Escapod for your adventures will have some significant changes, but let’s be honest: trailer camping can beat tent camping in every way.

One big way that will change your camping experience completely is sleeping in a fully-insulated pod. It’s a game-changer. Being able to pack up your pod with all your gear and not have to worry about running into unexpected weather that you aren’t prepared for will be a thing of the past.

You’ll be able to show up wherever you want to go, rain or shine, and be protected from the elements.

With an Escapod teardrop trailer, a giant truck is not required. Because of their size, it makes them significantly lighter than other options like Gooseneck trailers, 5th Wheels, etc. This means towing will be a breeze.

With the size in mind, it is much easier to park your trailer when it's so lightweight and nimble! It's also simpler to roll up into tight gas stations to fill up than with a bigger rig. The list goes on, but the little things add up.

Time is our most precious resource and we want to help you save yours. Our teardrop trailer designs are extremely thoughtful which helps you save time, requires less set-up, and allows you to enjoy more time outdoors.

Let’s not forget that both our models feature a galley that is industry-leading in design. It requires no set-up once you arrive at camp and has everything you need to get cooking. The time you save by already having your collapsible table, cutting board, and stove already in your galley with no setup needed, is time you get to spend exploring, making lifetime memories with your family, or just simply relaxing in nature is worth every penny.

While this just scratches the surface of all the reasons why you should buy an Escapod, we hope these top 9 reasons people buy an Escapod will help you find the perfect teardrop trailer for your needs.
