Tired of cramped, uncomfortable camping trips? Matt Bettman might just have the solution that’ll make your outdoor adventures way more epic. After years of living on boats and dreaming about efficient spaces, this Redwood City industrial designer created a game-changing teardrop trailer that’s about to revolutionize how Bay Area folks camp.
From Garage Project to Full-Blown Business
What started as a weekend tinkering project quickly became All Good Equipment Co., a local startup crafting lightweight, sustainable trailers that can be towed by practically any vehicle. With a price tag of $22,500, these aren’t just trailers - they’re your ticket to spontaneous weekend escapes.
Comfort Meets Adventure
Bettman’s trailer isn’t just about sleeping on wheels. It’s a carefully designed space that transforms camping from a survival experience to a luxurious outdoor retreat. Featuring a queen-size indoor bed, an outdoor kitchen, and smart storage solutions, this trailer lets you bring real plates (goodbye, sad paper disposables) and camp comfortably during shoulder seasons.
The Bay Area Camping Revolution
While teardrop trailers have been around since the 1930s, Bettman is betting on bringing this camping trend to the tech-savvy, adventure-hungry Bay Area crowd. His philosophy? “Adventure doesn’t have to mean discomfort, and comfort doesn’t have to dull adventure”. We’re totally here for that vibe.
