“The neighbors in other RV SPOT campsights are super NICE and friendly and helpful and full of information. Everyone is curious about the trailer and comes to see it and talk. It is a lovely experience.”
Juliet Reflects on her journey…
“From Auburn, CA to South Lake Tahoe, across Texas in all kinds of weather and crazy road construction, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and finally to Bonifay to Big John’s Veteran-owner BBQ this little “Pearl” teardrop trailer has endured and conquered the road. When I thought the 10 Fwy was literally going to pop the tires right off she kept going with zero issues. I am so proud of my Second Wind Trailer built by owner Nathan.
… And don’t forget driving through Nevada, Lake Powell, and heavy winds and rain throughout New Mexico!”

JULIET’s REVIEW:
“Less than one month before I relocated from South Lake Tahoe, California to SW Florida I discovered Second Wind Trailers and contacted the builder, Nathan. He worked miracles to get the build completed within my two week window from initial deposit, with customizations specifically designed for me with a platform roof rack where I can stand on top of the trailer and make photographs. I encountered wild winds and constant rains theoughout New Mexico and Texas, and I was certain the wheels were literally going top burst from all the rough roads and construction along I-10 Fwy West to East. This little trailer we call “Pearl” handles all these obstacles with zero damage to the unit and only one broken bowl from the cabinets inside opening and bins being tossed onto the slepping cushion during rougher roadwork. The evenings were too hot to sleep most nights as well, but the fan ran all night with the screen doors open for draft. All things considered, Pearl pulled like it was part of my Honda Passport and the bumpers did not fall off. I am thrilled I chose Nathan and Second Wind Trailers for my teardrop trailer travel adventure. His team worked beyond the call of duty to get me safely to my destination and provided a One Way transport permit as part of the package. Don’t hesitate to give Nathan a call for all your teardrop trailer needs.

Hi, I’m Nathan Pizzo — New to owning American Teardrop, but designer, builder, and owner of Second Wind Trailers. We’re bringing all the passion and expertise we have to bring back American Teardrop to it’s glory days. Every trailer you see on this site was personally handcrafted by me with care, creativity, and a passion for adventure. If there’s anything I can do to help make your next journey unforgettable, just reach out — I’d love to build something special for you.
WHY I STARTED BUILDING TRAILERS:
I’ve always felt a deep pull to build things with my hands — a passion rooted in the time I spent with my dad. He made it a point to include me in his projects, teaching me the basics of woodworking (including the fine art of using a table saw without losing any fingers — a lesson I took very seriously). Even when time was scarce, he patiently shared his knowledge of tools, materials, and engineering. With five kids and the chaos of life in 1975, those moments weren’t frequent, but they were meaningful — and they stuck with me.
He was my mentor, my inspiration, and the one who first showed me the satisfaction of building something real from scratch. Though he passed away too soon at just 62, not having had the chance to see the creative path he sparked in me, I feel his influence every time I step into the shop. Every trailer I build is, in some way, a quiet tribute to him — and a way for me to stay connected to that part of my story.
My hope is that the things I create go far beyond steel and wood. I want them to become part of your story — something meaningful, lasting, and memory-making. Because at the end of the day, what we build should take us somewhere — not just down the road, but somewhere that feels like freedom. Now we’re carrying on that legacy to my son James – who is learning the craft along side me: Thanks to everything I have learned over the past two decades building trailers as Second Wind, we’ll continue on the traditions of American Teardrop.
THANK YOU! Dad… You are missed every day!

Special Message for All American Teardrop Owners
I want to take a moment to clarify something important for anyone reading this:
As of June 2025, I am the new owner of American Teardrop. I was not involved in any trailer builds, installations, or service work completed prior to that time. While I cannot accept liability for issues stemming from the previous ownership, I am committed to supporting past customers and solving problems wherever possible.
If you’re experiencing any concerns with any trailer built in 2020 through 2023 or even an older build, I’m happy to take a look and offer fair solutions moving forward. My focus is on earning back trust and building high-quality trailers with integrity under the new direction.
— Nathan Pizzo
New Owner of American Teardrop
