I visited Geoff’s workshop in Tauranga, New Zealand recently. He makes K-Pod Teardrop Campers<\/a> and customises them to suit his customers. When I visited, he was in the processes of building three and agreed to be interviewed.<\/p>\n

I had came across K-Pod Campers when researching teardrop trailers for this blog post<\/a>. There is something about them that fascinates me. It might be that they are all described as fun<\/em>. Just fun<\/em>. Easy to tow and reverse as they are so small. They have everything you need for a holiday. Storage, seating area which converts into a bed, kitchen, water, power. It really is like a tiny caravan or van.<\/p>\n

Geoff has been making teardrop campers for 5 years. He started with an aluminium shell, but converted to using fiberglass, which is lighter. Geoff designs the moulds then has them made by a local company which speeds up the initial build.<\/p>\n

He has his own design features, like an extra bump on top and a dropped down floor for more comfort when sitting inside.<\/p>\n

There is a basic price and then you can modify and add-on to create your desired model.<\/p>\n

Watch the above video for all the details.<\/strong><\/p>\n
