Quite often, I've been driving down some highway and I'll see a road that

I feel getting out into the middle of nowhere helps you recharge.

We, being my two younger brothers and myself.

And we are located in Grand Junction, Colorado.

This is his product that he's come up with.

I have a long-standing, crazy love for these vintage trailers.

Teardrops were first introduced after World War Two.

The reasons they have the materials that they use: the jeep wheels,

is quite simply they were using army surplus.

Between the three of us, we've done it all.

Carpentry, tile work, sheet rock, electric, plumbing, you know all of that, cabinetry.

I'm just getting most of the material out of the way.

And now I'm going to put the pattern, clamp the pattern back on here.

And I'm going to rout out to a finer degree with the router against our pattern

What I'm doing right now is building what we call the H frame.

He's making phone calls and answering phone calls and selling.

So we cut out the wood, finish everything.

A lot of people don't understand hand tools.

But they're absolutely the quickest to get things done a lot of times.

I try to do the maximum amount of quality with the bare minimum of tools.

Building each caravan, it takes approximately two weeks to assemble and finish.

The second step is, we insulate the box and then we skin it with aluminum.

It's a soft aluminum, so we have to be very careful in the shop.

We dent the side of the trailer, we got to

pull that piece of skin off and put a new   one back on.

So it's just learning to work very precisely and carefully.

Cody's role in this has been to be an absolute pain in the butt.

If it was Britton and myself, they'd be pretty neat, they'd be pretty nice, but with Cody

in the mix, they're unbelievably over the top.

This just came back from the Powder Coater.

Then we jack that frame up and put the wheels on.

Cullen starts making the side doors and then we work on the rear hatch door.

And then after that, we peel all the protective plastic off the aluminum.

We have to be very careful because these knives will scratch the surface.

And the very last step is to put the hub caps on.

Because they're chrome, we want there to be no scratches.

What I envision, is you take that caravan and not with a new vehicle.

You take it with an old Jeep, you take it with an old Land Rover.

Our caravans are built to be taken off road.

It takes you to areas that not everyone can get to.

The thing about these trailers is not what they are, but what they aren't.

These are symbols of simplicity; they're symbols of sanctuary, of solitude.

You get inside them, and I don't know if it's the feeling of a womb,

but the roundness inside and the warmth of wood...

The whole goal is for someone who purchases a caravan from us, not to go somewhere.
