Cost to build teardrop trailer
The cost of building a teardrop trailer depends on several factors. The size of the trailer, the materials used and the workmanship are the main factors that determine its cost.
Teardrop trailers can be made from wood or metal and both materials have their advantages and disadvantages.
Wood is a good choice for beginners because it is easy to work with and cheap to buy. However, it is also heavy and takes longer to build than metal.
Metal is stronger than wood but requires more skill and experience to use. Metal is also expensive because it has higher material costs compared to wood.
The cost to build a teardrop trailer varies based on the materials used and the size of the trailer. Here’s a look at some factors that affect the price.

For example, you can buy a small kit that allows you to build a 20-foot long by 6-foot wide teardrop camper for around $500. That same exact kit would allow you to build an 18-foot long by 8-foot wide teardrop camper for around $700. If you opt for larger kits that allow you to build even bigger trailers (up to 24 feet long), expect to spend up to $1,000 or more on materials alone. Some companies also offer kits with different options so you can customize your trailer size according to your needs and budget.
Material Quality: The materials used in building your teardrop camper will also affect its cost significantly since most companies sell their kits in two versions — one made out of plywood and another made out of marine grade polyethyl
