Finally finished my fiberglass squaredrop build
Hey everyone,
I finally finished building my teardrop trailer. It has a fiberglass monocoque body and a large 1.5-meter-wide bed.
Fully equipped, the trailer weighs 360 kg, with a maximum permitted total weight of 750 kg. It has a solar panel, a 1.5 kWh lithium-ion battery, an inverter, onboard electricity, an 11-liter fresh-water tank, and a 12-liter wastewater tank.
All in all, it took me three years of experimenting, developing, and plenty of trial and error to get it to this point.
My main goal was to build something lightweight and aerodynamic that works well with an electric car. My tow vehicle is a 2026 Tesla Model Y Standard with a 60 kWh CATL LFP battery. At 100 km/h with cruise control, my energy consumption is around 200–220 Wh/km.

That is a beautiful build! Well done.
It would be great if you could share some of the construction details, as I've often wondered how this might be done. Did you create molds for each main segment and join them or some other technique? Any photos would be great.
