“How to build your own teardrop trailer in 26 short lessons!”
“When I retired, I was about to scrap my trailer when I found the Overland Kit Trailer. Straight-up saved the day. The directions felt like Mark was in the garage with me. The kit is clean, quality, and nothing is missing. Now I’m camping in something I built with my own hands that will outlast me.”

“Found Mark on YouTube while trying to figure out axle placement. Ended up bingeing his videos, then bought the plans. Worth every penny. He breaks it down like a guy who knows the pain of doing it wrong first. My order was fast but missing 1 bearing. One email to Ryan later, and the part was in the mail to me.”

“My husband actually finished this project! ha ha. This man never finishes a project. The Overland Trailer plans, parts, and customer support kept him on track, and now we’ve got a trailer and already 4 camping trips of family memories. I still don’t believe it.”
