"Like it's the case with the other parts of the world; in South Africa too, teardrop campers are becoming adventurous but with a very contemporary approach and a high-ticket price. TrailPod, an outdoor adventure brand in Cape Town, is doing things differently to keep their generation of teardrop rigs closer to the good old past, while integrating features that make it completely modern and dependable."
"The TrailPod Cricket series teardrop trailers are therefore cut out for off-roading, but they are subtle, competitively priced, and retro-inspired. Staying true to the teardrop shape and style from the past, these are ideal for adventurers seeking a variety of camping options without breaking the bank. For this, the foam composite body trailers have an aluminum layering underneath, prioritizing durability and retro-aesthetics. The Cricket series may be new, but the first Pod was made in a garage setting during the Covid-19 pandemic."
TrailPod produces bespoke 4×4 teardrop trailers that blend nostalgic teardrop aesthetics with modern, dependable features. The Cricket series is designed for off-roading while remaining subtle, competitively priced, and retro-inspired. Trailers use zero-wood foam-composite bodies with aluminum layering underneath to prioritize durability and prevent rotting, mold, and corrosion. A robust suspension system is included to handle varied road types. The original Pod began as the Tintin garage-built prototype during the Covid-19 pandemic and evolved through iterative tweaks into the current Cricket lineup. Design cues reference 1940s aircraft aluminum and army jeep wheels alongside contemporary materials and construction.
