BUILT BY YOU

We give you the plans, parts, and process to build a teardrop camper that doesn’t suck. Pro-quality. No guesswork. Zero fluff.

Start your build

Why should you build a teardrop camper?

Build It. Own It. Brag About It.
There’s something wildly satisfying about towing something you built with your own two hands. This isn’t just a weekend project—it’s a story you’ll tell for years.
Sweat Equity Pays Off
Yes, you’ll put in the work—but you’ll save thousands while doing it. For as little as $2,500, you can build a teardrop camper that’s customized to your budget and lifestyle. That’s money you keep for epic trips, better gear, or gas to nowhere.
Camp, Upgraded
No setup. No soggy sleeping bags. No more waking up in a puddle. Just easy, elevated camping—anytime, anywhere. Sleep off-grid in comfort, roll out fast, and wake up where the map ends.
No Experience? No Problem.
If you can use basic power tools, you can do this. Our plans break it all down step-by-step—plus, you’ve got a community of builders behind you. And if it’s not your thing? No sweat. We’ve got a 30-day money-back guarantee.

What people are saying

“Just start somewhere, get the plans, they are invaluable and also the kit made things go much smoother and much faster.”

Dries van der Westhuizen - DIY Vaga Build w/ Vaga Kit
"Having the materials and measurements all listed out in a simple to follow format saved me countless hours on my build. It would have saved even more had I not spent so much time trying to "reinvent the wheel" so to speak. I can't tell you how much time I wasted trying to figure out a different way to do a certain step or process, only to arrive right back where I started in the end. Daniel and Paige have already spent numerous hours doing a lot of the hard work for you and have probably been down the same rabbit holes you have."

Ben Rittenhouse - DIY Vaga Build
“I'm a pretty handy guy, but I don't know how I would have ever built this had I not had the plans from Wander Tears. They turned what would have been months, maybe years of planning into mere weeks, & walked me through every step of the build process; down to every cut I needed to make, & screw I needed to place so that I could work with confidence."

Join The Builders Network

The Builders Network is our new all-in-one platform designed to take the guesswork out of building a professional-quality teardrop camper. It’s a complete ecosystem where step-by-step plans, video tutorials, live trainings, and a global builder community come together to guide you through every stage of your build. Whether you’re a first-time DIYer or an experienced craftsman, The Builders Network gives you the tools, support, and confidence to build a camper you’re proud of — faster, smarter, and with fewer mistakes.
Our DIY plans were the starting point — a solid roadmap for people who wanted to take on a build independently. The Builders Network goes far beyond that. Instead of buying a single set of plans, you get full access to every model we’ve ever designed (and all future ones), plus a structured video learning system, expert guidance, and a community of people building right alongside you. It’s not just a download — it’s an entire build experience built around support, clarity, and results.
Inside The Builders Network, you’ll find:
- Access to all current + future Wander Tears models (including CNC cut files for precision builds)
- Step-by-step video tutorials that walk you through every phase of construction
- Live trainings and Q&A sessions twice a month for real-time help and feedback
- A private builder community to connect, collaborate, and learn from others around the world
- Linked parts + materials lists with every nut, bolt, and seal you’ll need — plus a built-in budget tracker
- 3D models, SVG files, upgrade guides, and detailed checklists to streamline your workflow
It’s everything we’ve ever created to build over 65 custom campers ourselves and to help builders succeed — organized in one place, designed to make your dream camper a reality.

STOP researching, and start building, TODAY!

We’ve been down the rabbit hole of teardrop camper research, and trust us, it’s a deep one. Most people spend months researching before starting their camper build.

With all the information out there it can be overwhelming and often times contradictory. Over the years we have tried many different methods, and discovered the simplest and strongest ways to complete a DIY teardrop.

After personally building more than 65 teardrop trailers, we have taken everything we’ve learned and applied it in our plans, making sure that every step is easy to understand and execute. With Wander Tears you will create a travel companion that you’ll be proud to have built.
