Why choose a teardrop trailer made in Quebec?

Built in Mirabel, insulated and with no exposed wood: here’s why a teardrop trailer designed in Quebec is a durable, reliable choice suited to our climate.

Key takeaways

  • Built in Mirabel: each trailer is assembled by hand, one at a time, with components made locally or sourced from Quebec suppliers.
  • Designed for our climate: fully insulated with high-density polystyrene (approx. R-7) on an aluminum frame, for a stable temperature.
  • Rot-proof materials: no exposed wood and an FRP finish that resists UV, impacts and the years.
  • Local service: workshop visits, direct access to the founders and on-site customization, with no import delays.

When you shop for a teardrop trailer, you want a reliable, well-built product that suits life in Quebec. At Igloo Caravane, every trailer is designed and built in Mirabel, in the Laurentians, with materials and engineering chosen to stand up to our climate: hot in summer, damp in spring and cold in the fall.

Buying a teardrop trailer made in Quebec is much more than a local choice: it’s a guarantee of quality, durability and trust.

Local know-how: precision and quality first

Igloo trailers are assembled by hand, one at a time, by a team that knows exactly what campers here need. Every component, from the insulated floor to the exterior skin, is made locally or sourced from Quebec suppliers.

Why does it matter?

  • Less shipping = a smaller environmental footprint
  • Better traceability of materials
  • Local, responsive after-sales service
  • Direct support for the regional economy

By choosing Igloo, you support local craftspeople and partners while getting a trailer built to last.

Our winters are harsh and our summers can be scorching: you need a product that keeps a stable temperature without compromising weight or strength. That’s why our trailers are fully insulated, with high-density polystyrene floors and walls (approx. R-7) and an aluminum frame.

Unlike many imported trailers, our models aren’t bothered by condensation, leaks or the cold.

With our models, you enjoy consistent interior comfort, perfect for camping from spring to late fall.

Durable, rot-proof materials

Igloo teardrop trailers are built from rot-proof materials: no exposed wood, no panels that swell with moisture. The FRP (fibre-reinforced plastic) exterior offers outstanding resistance to UV rays, impacts and the years.

The result: a trailer that keeps its value and strength over time, even after thousands of kilometres on the road.

Local service

Buying local also means getting personal support. You can visit our Mirabel workshop, talk directly with the founders and see trailers being assembled.

And if you want to customize your trailer (solar panel, awning, storage box, etc.), it’s all done right here, with no import delays.
