How To Choose The Perfect Add-ons and Upgrades For Your Teardrop Trailer
Finding Your Perfect Fit: Tailoring Your Timberleaf Trailer
Camping is a deeply personal pursuit—some travel light with only the bare essentials, while others bring along every creature comfort imaginable. At Timberleaf, we believe the sweet spot lies somewhere in between. Our handcrafted teardrop trailers offer just the right balance: compact enough to follow you deep into the wild, yet thoughtfully designed for a comfortable night’s sleep on a real mattress.
Because no two adventures—or adventurers—are alike, we offer a wide selection of thoughtfully curated add-ons and upgrades to help you craft a trailer that fits your lifestyle. Whether you’re chasing quiet weekends in the mountains or planning months-long cross-country treks, this guide will walk you through some of our most popular upgrades and how they can elevate your Timberleaf experience.
NO ROADS? NO PROBLEM.
Every Timberleaf Trailer starts with a smooth-towing torsion axle—perfect for road trips, weekend getaways, and logging thousands of miles on the open highway. But if your path leads beyond the pavement, we’ve got you covered.
GO FURTHER.
For those who crave more rugged routes, the All-Road Package steps things up with a heavy-duty Timbren Axle-Less suspension, 30-inch all-terrain tires, and a Max-Coupler articulating hitch. It’s a combination built to smooth out washboard dirt roads, handle uneven terrain, and give you the confidence to venture farther off the beaten path.
GO ANYWHERE.
When your adventures call for low range, a spotter, and a bit of crawling over rocks, the Off-Road Package is ready to answer. It builds on the All-Road setup with BFGoodrich KO2 tires, frame-mounted steel rock sliders, and up to 23 inches of ground clearance—so your Timberleaf can tackle the kind of trails that leave most trailers behind.
From the sandstone ledges of Moab to the granite boulders of the Rubicon, your Timberleaf is built to follow wherever your 4×4 dares to lead.
THE FINE DINING EXPERIENCE
Both the Timberleaf Classic and Pika feature a rear galley, equipped with dimmable LED task lighting and a 2-burner Dometic stove—ready for everything from morning coffee to multi-course meals under the stars. The Classic also includes a stainless steel sink and 11-gallon water tank, offering running water right at your fingertips. Whether you prefer simple campfire fare or gourmet trail cooking, we offer a variety of thoughtful upgrades to help you make the most of your kitchen setup.
DITCH THE FREEZE-DRIED MEALS
There’s a time and place for just-add-water meals—but nothing beats the luxury of fresh ingredients and an ice-cold drink after a long day on the trail. Our galleys are built to accommodate your choice of cold storage: the rugged Yeti Tundra 65 cooler or the ultra-efficient 35-liter Dometic CFX3 12-volt fridge. Whether you’re chasing sunsets or staying put for the weekend, you can keep your provisions fresh as long as your battery holds a charge.
MORE PREP SPACE
Many established campgrounds offer picnic tables, but when you’re deep in the backcountry or posted up at a dispersed site, counter space can be hard to come by. That’s where our detachable exterior shelf comes in. Built from laminated wood and finished to match the warm, handcrafted aesthetic Timberleaf is known for, this upgrade adds a generous and sturdy prep surface right outside your galley.
Whether you’re chopping veggies, laying out trail snacks, or mixing a sunset cocktail, the shelf provides the kind of practical workspace that makes camp cooking feel less like compromise and more like craft. It’s easy to mount and remove, compact enough to stow away without a fuss, and strong enough to hold up to real kitchen use. For those who like to cook with a view, it’s an indispensable piece of gear.
STAY CHARGED OFF THE GRID
For some, camping means unplugging completely and soaking in the quiet. For others, it’s a chance to turn the outdoors into a mobile office. However you connect with nature, we offer flexible power options to keep you charged and comfortable.
Every Timberleaf Classic and Pika trailer comes equipped with a lithium battery to power your fan, cabin lights, USB outlets, and 12V fridge. On the Kestrel, the lithium battery system is available as part of our power upgrade. Whether you’re recharging a camera, running a fridge, or staying productive off-grid, we’ve got the juice to keep you going.
Looking for even more power? We’ve got you covered!
MORE JUICE
Our standard 100Ah lithium battery provides reliable power for long weekends off the grid—but if you need to run more gear, stay out longer, or prep for true backcountry adventures, we offer a 300Ah lithium upgrade that triples your power capacity without adding significant weight. It’s the ultimate boost for serious off-grid capability.
HARNESS THE POWER OF THE SUN
To keep your battery topped off in the wild, we offer two solar options: a solar-ready wiring package for those who already have a panel, or our Zamp 100-watt portable panel, designed to plug right in and follow the sun. With smart solar charging, you can camp longer and worry less.
TURN DC INTO LUXURY
Add our optional 375-watt inverter and unlock 120V AC power from your trailer’s battery system—perfect for charging laptops, running small appliances, or staying productive at a remote workstation. It’s a small upgrade with big potential for comfort and flexibility.
BRING ALL THE TOYS
Adventure doesn’t travel light—and neither should you. Whether you’re pedaling through singletrack or paddling across alpine lakes, your gear deserves to come along for the ride. That’s why all three Timberleaf trailer models come standard with a 2-inch rear receiver hitch—perfect for adding your favorite bike rack or an accessory box to expand your storage.
THINK VERTICAL
If your gear list climbs higher than what fits on the back, our custom roof racks are ready to carry the load. Choose our classic crossbar-style rack for bikes, boards, and boats—or go big with the full-platform rack. The platform rack adds a rugged, flat cargo surface that’s ideal for hauling firewood, bins, and bulky gear you want quick access to. Whatever your adventure demands, our roof rack options are built to keep up.
EVEN MORE STORAGE
Need a secure spot for your extra gear? Our 7.5-cubic-foot lockable tongue box adds serious utility right where you need it. Whether it’s a spare propane tank, recovery gear, or your favorite yard game, this weatherproof, easy-access box is built tough and styled to match the rugged aesthetic of your trailer. It’s one of our most popular upgrades for a reason.
CHOOSE YOUR ADVENTURE
Every Timberleaf trailer is handcrafted for adventure, with comfort and quality built into every base model. But your adventures are your own—and we offer a wide range of upgrades to help you get the most from your travels. Whether you’re planning gourmet meals under the stars, powering up your remote office, or hauling your favorite toys into the backcountry, we’ve got the options to make it happen.
