Why Go All-In on Electrification of Your Teardrop?

The rear kitchen of the NS-1 features a 3500w Kenyon Induction Cooktop, a solid butcher block surface, Easy Clean Drawer Slides, and Quick Access Storage for your camp Kitchen essentials.

I started my journey with Campworks as a customer, drawn in by something simple: the kitchen. After spending over 100 days camping and cooking with a propane stove, I quickly realized how frustrating propane can be in the wild. Here are some of the reasons why cooking with propane isn't all it's cracked up to be:

1. Wind

Even a slight breeze can disrupt your flame, making cooking uneven and stressful. Trying to shield the stove or relighting the flame multiple times can really take the joy out of outdoor cooking.

2. Temperature Control

Most camping stoves lack precise temperature control. You’re either blasting high heat or struggling to simmer. This makes cooking anything beyond simple meals a challenge and can easily result in burnt or undercooked food.

3. Messes from Cooking

Propane stoves can get dirty fast, but it’s not just grime and soot. Cooking outdoors with an open flame means dealing with food splatter, dried eggs, burnt sauces, and all kinds of sticky messes. These tend to bake onto the stove, especially in hard-to-clean areas like the burners and grates. Cleaning up after a meal becomes a tedious task, and when you're camping, you don’t always have the time or tools to scrub everything down properly.

4. Dealing with Propane Tanks

Juggling propane tanks is a hassle. Whether it’s moving propane from the heater to the stove, dealing with multiple bottles, or finding places to refill or exchange tanks, it adds complexity to your trip. And running out of propane in the middle of nowhere is a frustration no one wants to experience.

This is where the NS-1 from Campworks changed the game for me. The ability to cook with an induction stove meant no more propane worries, and I didn’t have to stress over battery capacity while cooking thanks to the NS-1's robust 12 kWh battery. That was a turning point. Knowing I had more than enough energy to prepare meals, run lights, and charge devices made camping feel less like “roughing it” and more like a seamless outdoor experience.

Campworks is built to electrify your time in nature.

As the majority owner and COO of Campworks, I now realize the advantages of electrification go far beyond the kitchen. Switching to an all-electric platform provides unparalleled convenience across your entire camping experience. Here are some of the key benefits:

1. Quick and Easy Setup

Forget the hassle of setting up multiple systems. With an all-electric platform, you can get your camp ready with minimal effort. From powering up your induction stove to plugging in your lights, it’s a breeze. Everything in the NS-1 is controlled from a centralized digital control panel or even your iPad, making the entire setup process incredibly intuitive and user-friendly.

With just a few taps, you can manage your teardrop’s power, monitor your battery status, control the climate system, and even adjust the lighting—all from one interface. Gone are the days of fumbling with switches or manually connecting devices. Whether you’re inside the teardrop or relaxing outside, you can control everything at your fingertips, making the camping experience more convenient and efficient than ever.

This seamless integration of technology doesn’t just simplify setup, but it also allows for quick adjustments on the fly, ensuring your camp is perfectly tailored to your needs, no matter the situation.

2. Climate Control

Electric teardrops allow you to regulate the temperature inside your space with ease. Whether it’s cooling off on a hot summer day or warming up in the winter, electrification gives you full control over your environment—no more fussing with propane or diesel heaters, dealing with the noise of those systems running, or waking up cold because you ran out of propane or your propane tank froze. With electric climate control, you can enjoy a quiet, consistent, and worry-free environment, regardless of the weather outside.

3. Stress-Free Power for All Your Gadgets

Electricity isn’t just about convenience; it enhances your overall experience. Want to enjoy the convenience of Starlink for internet access or power up your laptop for some work in the wilderness? No problem. You can keep everything charged without worrying about constantly managing small battery packs or having to run a noisy generator. With an electric platform, you have all the power you need, seamlessly integrated into your teardrop, making your adventure smoother and more enjoyable.

For those who dream of becoming digital nomads or working remotely from the road, the combination of Starlink internet and abundant power means you never have to worry about losing connection or running out of battery. Whether you’re setting up a mobile office in the wilderness or extending your stay in remote locations, you can confidently work and explore at the same time, without the typical power constraints that can hold you back.

4. Freedom from Fuel Dependency

Perhaps the most significant benefit of electrification is energy independence. With solar panels recharging your battery, you don’t have to worry about running out of propane or diesel. The NS-1 can deploy over 2400 watts of solar, including an optional 2-axis, 400-watt solar tracking panel from Roboteos. This advanced solar tracking system optimizes the angle of your panels throughout the day, ensuring maximum energy capture—even in less-than-ideal conditions.

This setup allows you to collect more solar energy, keep your battery charged, and extend your time off-grid without sacrificing comfort or functionality. With this much renewable energy at your disposal, you can confidently explore remote areas without worrying about finding fuel sources or running out of power. Whether it’s powering your induction stove, running climate control, or charging your gadgets, you have a renewable and reliable energy solution that keeps you going as long as you need.

5. A Backup Power Source for Your Home

The benefits of an all-electric teardrop extend beyond the campground. With 12 kWh of battery capacity, 9 kW of output, and the ability to collect over 2.4 kW of solar energy per hour, your teardrop can act as a backup power source for your home. Simply plug it into a generator inlet, and you’re ready to handle power outages, storms, or emergencies. Couple this with features like three-stage water filtration and climate control, and you’ve got a mobile fortress ready for any situation.

The Future of Camping is Electric

Electrifying your teardrop is more than a modern convenience—it’s a game-changer. From seamless cooking to freedom from fuel worries, going all-in on an electric setup enhances every part of your adventure. Whether you’re exploring remote landscapes or simply want to be prepared for the unexpected, an electric teardrop is your key to a better, more sustainable camping experience.

So why not make the switch? If I can do it—and I’m all in—you can too. Reserve your NS-1 today!!!

Why Choose a Teardrop Trailer for Your Outdoor Adventures

We had found the perfect campsite: sunset views overlooking the Cascade Mountains and only 30 minutes from the charming mountain town of Leavenworth, WA. As the sun went down, the wind picked up. And proceeded to batter our rooftop tent all night- swaying the entire truck, rattling every zipper. Our friends camping next to us in a ground tent fared no better: in the morning, none of us had gotten any sleep.

We had been creative in addressing most other climate problems with our rooftop tent- adding a propane heater option for winter with a heated blanket, etc. But wind was one thing we learned we either had to avoid entirely or endure. This was one of the many factors that led me to explore alternatives including a teardrop trailer as a camping vehicle.

In the world of outdoor recreation, decision-making is a game of trade-offs. There's an old saying that rings particularly true here: "good, fast, or cheap—pick any two." But when it comes to gearing up for the great outdoors, there are more than just these three factors to consider. Comfort, weight, capability, price, design, and environmental impact are just a few of the factors that enthusiasts juggle when choosing gear. If you're still trying to perfect your camping setup, figuring out your top priorities and what you're willing to trade-off will help you narrow down your options.

Before I discovered Campworks, I had decided the teardrop trailer was the way to go. My decision-making process revolved around these key desires:

1. The flexibility to carry a variety of equipment for both active and leisurely pursuits—bikes, paddleboards, or the extra comfy camp chair and cocktail kit.
2. The ability to camp outside of campgrounds (dispersed camping), with the freedom to leave and return to my site at will.
3. Year-round climate comfort that would minimize the need for weather-related preparations or maintenance between trips.
4. Quick and hassle-free set-up and breakdown, making transitions between home and nature as seamless as possible.

Let's dive into the alternatives I considered before arriving at my conclusion.

Teardrop trailers vs. other camping setups

Rooftop Tent: The Accessible Starter

The Rooftop Tent is a great step up in comfort from traditional tent or car camping, while being relatively affordable. This was what I chose when I started dispersed camping and one of my favorite things about it turned out to be the elevated views, allowing me a glimpse above the trees or brushline. Additionally, it didn’t limit my ability to explore any road. However, its limitations become apparent with increased use:

• Insulation Issues: In colder weather, the lack of adequate insulation can turn a night in the wilderness into a chilly ordeal.
• Weather Woes: After a downpour––or drizzle––the tent requires thorough drying, which can be a challenge, particularly in the damp climates of the PNW where sunshine is a rare commodity in fall and winter.
• Noise: Strong winds transform the tent into a noisy environment, despite efforts to mitigate this with softer materials (Pro tip: we removed all the metal pulls on the zippers and replaced with paracord). Campgrounds can also be noisy.
• No Base Camp: Needing to pack up the tent to use the vehicle might limit the activities you can easily do from your campsite. If you do pack up to drive to a trailhead, you may come back to find someone else has claimed your wilderness spot.
• Fuel Efficiency: A constant presence on your vehicle, the rooftop tent affects aerodynamics and fuel consumption. This might be an even bigger negative if the tent is on a vehicle you need to drive daily. The weight of the tent will also raise your vehicle's center of gravity.

Van: The All-in-One Package

A Van conversion offers a leap in comfort and convenience. With the ability to stand up inside and the comforts of home on wheels, it appeals to those looking for a more substantial basecamp. Here’s what it brings to the table:

• Comfortable Living Space: The interiors can be customized to include beds, kitchenettes, and even small bathrooms, creating a cozy living environment.
• All-Weather Friendliness: Insulation and indoor facilities make vans suitable for almost any weather condition.
• Storage for Gear: Vans can haul a substantial amount of equipment, ensuring you have all the necessities for your adventure.

However, the van life comes with its own set of challenges:

• Cost and Size: Vans are a significant investment and their size can limit off-road travel and parking options.
• Campsite Limitations: You may have to vacate your spot to explore, similar to the rooftop tent issue, but with a bigger footprint to consider when looking for the next campsite.
• View Restrictions: Many vans have limited windows, affecting the natural light and views from inside the vehicle.

Truck with Camper: The Compromise Conundrum

A Truck with a Camper, such as a Fourwheel Camper or a Scout, marries the mobility of a vehicle with the amenities of a camper. Here’s why it’s an attractive option:

• Relative Affordability: Generally more budget-friendly than a van while still offering many of the same benefits.
• Removable: The camper can be detached, although this isn’t a trivial task, providing some flexibility in use.
• Weather-Resistant: Many designs offer strong protection against the elements, providing a cozy haven.

Yet, there are trade-offs:

• Insulation vs. Height: Pop-up campers may lack insulation, while fixed-roof options add height and weight.
• Awkward Layouts: The internal design can be cramped or illogical, reducing living comfort.
• Mobility vs. Accessibility: While more off-road capable than a van, the camper still adds bulk and complexity to the vehicle.

Traditional RV: The Comfortable Behemoth

The Traditional RV is often synonymous with road-tripping luxury, featuring spacious interiors and home-like amenities. It's a miniature house on wheels, complete with a kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping quarters (including room for kids). Yet, its drawbacks are noteworthy:

• Build Quality: Despite their size and amenities, many RVs are infamously built with less durable materials.
• Driving and Towing: They require powerful vehicles to tow and can be cumbersome to drive, especially for the inexperienced.
• Storage and Maintenance: The RV’s size demands substantial storage space and upkeep, both in terms of costs and effort.

Adventure Teardrop Trailer: The Balanced Adventurer

Against these alternatives, the Adventure Teardrop Trailer stands out for its middle-ground approach, offering a blend of comfort and convenience without the bulk and hassle of larger RVs or vans. Here’s why it shines:

• Easy to Tow: Its lightweight nature makes it towable by a range of vehicles, from family SUVs to trucks.
• Ease of Use: Setting up and breaking down camp is straightforward and quick, allowing more time for enjoyment. If you need to use your tow vehicle to shuttle mountain bikes or restock food, you can keep your campsite.
• Versatility: It fits in most garages and is capable off-grid, making it an ally for both weekend getaways and longer expeditions.

The Ideal Choice: Adventure Teardrop Trailer

An adventure teardrop trailer emerged as the best choice for me. It's easy to tow, enabling access to a broad range of campsites. It's quick to set up, increases gear-carrying capacity, and can remain at a campsite while we explore. Its smaller, off-grid capable design facilitates both dispersed camping and traditional campsite use, and it's easily stored in a garage or parking spot. Off road and off-grid capabilities were key for me: I didn't want to sacrifice the ability to explore far from campgrounds. Quality build and sustainable design choices were also important to me, leading me to the Campworks NS-1 electric adventure trailer.

Questions to Guide Your Decision on a Camping Setup

1. What's your budget range? Less than $30k, $30-90k, Over $90k?
2. What equipment do you need or want to bring along for your adventures?
3. Are you inclined towards dispersed camping, or are campgrounds more your style? If the latter, do you need electrical hookups?
4. Consider your activities over a 4-day period. What are your restrictions, and what would you like to enjoy on a typical camping trip?
5. Who's coming camping with you? Is it solo, with a partner, family, or a group of friends? Pets?

Intro to Mat Hager: Campworks COO and teardrop trailer convert

Mat’s favorite campsite up in the Pacific Northwest

You've seen Mat posting some blogs here and updates on LinkedIn this spring but we thought a proper introduction would be good, so you have a sense of who is working behind the scenes to deliver your trailer and what types of content you can expect to see from Mat in the future.

In addition to his role as COO at Campworks he holds the honorary title of Campworks Camp Chef.

Mat joined as our COO in February. He began his career in manufacturing engineering, focusing on jet engines, before joining the Navy as a nuclear engineer on submarines. During his eight years in the Navy, Mat held various roles in engineering and operations. He has spent a total of one year and 93 days underwater and aspires to spend an equivalent amount of time camping under the stars. Currently, he camps for about 30-35 nights each year, meaning he will achieve his goal in another 11 years.

Mat's association with Campworks began as a customer. He'd originally started car camping around the Seattle area, while stationed at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor. He quickly got tired of the competition and long range planning needed to secure campground spots around the Pacific NW so began learning more about dispersed camping. He's been on a journey ever since to perfect his camp set-up, starting with a rooftop tent on a Subaru Forester, building out a Toyota Tacoma with a hardside rooftop tent, and finally, deciding that a teardrop adventure trailer was the next step (more on that decision making later). His wife jokes that even if you didn't know he lived on a submarine, his setup might give it away: he has a place for everything, and is always finding creative solutions (like magnets) to keep things securely stowed.

In his first couple months as COO, he has played a crucial role in transitioning most of our manufacturing to CF Maier and restarting production. He's also focused on financial planning and maximizing operational efficiency, drawing from his lessons learned with AI-integration into tools and business processes while leading a team at Qualtrics (experience management tech startup) the last few years.

Here's a few more quick facts about Mat and some of the topics you might hear about from him:

Favorite moment at Campworks so far: Delivering trailer to a fellow veteran.

Favorite camp spot: For those familiar with the PNW, MT Rainier is a key focal point, and having spent a lot of time in the area growing up, the mountain holds a special place in Mat's heart. Mat's favorite spot is on the north side with an amazing view of the mountain and valley below. DM him for coordinates.

Favorite camp food: Fire grilled buffalo wings

Favorite camp activities: mountain biking, cross country skiing, cooking, sipping tequila in a hammock

Most memorable camping cautionary tale: almost getting stuck in the mud near Sedona, AZ without a winch (installed one after that trip!). The mud in the Sedona area is much stickier than what he was used to in the PNW.

Bucket list camping adventure: An Alaska overlanding trip

Topics we'd like to get Mat's thoughts on in future: camp cooking recipes and gear, advice for camping in the Pacific NW, favorite activity+camping areas (xc skiing, biking), tips to explore new states/areas, favorite gear (Mat is notorious among friends for introducing them to amazing gear they didn't know they needed.)

Mat has just started exploring the Colorado area so is eager for camping recomendations. You can send him tips and follow his adventures at @adventurewithmat on Instagram.

How the Campworks NS-1 Adventure Trailer is Pioneering a New Era in EV Camping

As Peter Valdes-Dapena reports in a recent CNN article, "Electric vehicles are changing how America goes camping," the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) is changing our camping experiences. When you have an EV, you can no longer go anywhere with minimal thought to fueling up. This transition to more sustainable travel comes with challenges and the answer to these is embodied by the Campworks Nomadic System NS-1 teardrop trailer. Crafted to address the needs of the environmentally conscious traveler, the NS-1 off-grid trailer minimizes impact while enhancing access.

Compact Efficiency Reflecting observations from the CNN piece, the NS-1 electric trailer distinguishes itself by providing a solution that drastically lessens the toll on EV range. Its diminutive stature and reduced weight, relative to conventional RVs, enable longer excursions with fewer charging stops. We thought long and hard about whether to simply keep adding bigger batteries as battery tech has evolved. But we prioritized efficient systems. The biggest battery in the world won’t do you any good if your system is inefficient. This design ethos not only meets the increasing demand for eco-friendlier camping options but also enriches the camping experience, ensuring EV drivers spend less time tethered to chargers and more time immersed in nature.

Innovative Charging Solutions With its integrated Type 2 EV charger, the NS-1 becomes a portable power source, effectively serving as an "electric jerry can." This capability, complemented by the trailer's considerable solar power potential, embraces a progressive stance on self-sufficient camping. Highlighted in the CNN article is the capacity to replenish some of the vehicle's battery charge while encamped, significantly advancing the feasibility of prolonged stays in the wild and alleviating the anxiety of EV drivers venturing away from established charging networks. Beyond aiding those seeking quiet away from people, the NS-1 electric trailer is also a boon for traditional campsites, which are often plagued by poor infrastructure or overcrowded by sizable RVs running generators that can detract from the natural setting. The self-sufficient NS-1 teardrop trailer ensures that any location can serve as a perfect backdrop to wilderness camping.

Sustainability at Its Core At Campworks, our approach to the challenges of electric vehicle camping does not involve merely increasing battery storage to combat range anxiety. Rather, we promote a reduction in overall impact, a philosophy that truly resonates with sustainable practices. Analogous to how adding a large fuel tank to a trailer does not intrinsically extend the range of a traditional vehicle, stacking batteries is not a panacea for EVs. Our strategy with the NS-1 electric trailer is to refine and economize, focusing on efficiency and a minimal environmental footprint. The innovations spearheaded by the Campworks Nomadic System NS-1 teardrop trailer signal a future where camping and ecological responsibility are inextricably linked. More than just a technological shift, it signifies a profound change in our connection with the environment, ensuring that we safeguard the pristine splendor of our landscapes for future explorers.

When Your Electric Teardrop Trailer or RV Becomes Your Home's Lifeline: The Ultimate Emergency Power Bank

The robust winds, nearing hurricane force, that have swept through Colorado this month left many without power—over 155,000 residents in the first weekend in April. But for one of our Campworks early adopters, power was no longer a concern as he tapped into the electric power of the Campworks NS-1 trailer.

We often overlook the dependability of our power grid until it falters. The windstorm that raged through the Denver area in early April was a jolting reminder of nature's unpredictability. It also reminded us that the Campworks electrified trailer can be used for more than just recreation. An early adopter of our technology, Gordon, found himself in the dark with his family. Armed with the power bank in the Campworks NS-1 Adventure Trailer, he took this overlanding tool and converted it into an emergency power station for his home. Gordon reported, "We've been without power for 34 hours, and the camper has been crucial in running our fridge and breast pump equipment."

The concept of RVs serving as emergency power sources isn't new, but traditional models, with their modest power capacities of 1-2kWh and low-power inverters topping out at 2000W, haven't been practical for widespread use. Campworks teardrop trailers, however, redefine this concept. Our designs are not only geared toward off-grid camping with minimal recharging requirements, but as Gordon's experience highlights, they also excel as dependable backup power sources for home use.

The efficacy of our teardrop trailer power comes from the advanced battery systems developed in partnership with Navico, a pioneer in marine battery technology. The NS-1 Electrified Pro model offers a formidable 9000W output, and the standard NS-1 Electrified model provides 4500W, guaranteeing that your most important appliances remain operational, independent of the local grid. With storage capacities of 12kWh for the Electrified Pro and 6kWh for the Electrified model, these systems can keep critical home systems running until power is restored.

As extreme weather events become more commonplace, it becomes even more important to have reliable emergency solutions wherever you are. The Campworks Nomadic System trailer is more than an accessory for wilderness explorations; it is a robust, ready-to-deploy power reserve for your home.
