[@ALANScottDICKSON]

This is probably the best camper/trailer build on KZbin.

[@Montana_Outdoor_Adventures]

If you do add solar, may I suggest you mount a panel or two (preferably two if there is room) on the roof, then adapt the wiring to XT60 this way you can plug directly into the EcoFlow with no charge controller etc. This will give you a lot more capacity for the E.F. River and give you a bit of time in the field camping to figure out your total electrical needs. Then you can design your LiFePO4 battery pack/charge controller based on your actual, field tested needs. This trailer turned out so good, I cannot wait for your fist weekend camping video!!! Thank you for taking us along during the build!!!

[@Adv4x4]

Thanks for the advice Charlie!! Also thanks for watching! We have taken it camping a few times already but no cameras were rolling haha. I will make a camp video in the future though!!

[@harrymills2770]

Panels are so easy to set up, and maybe you don't want to park in the direct sun. You're out in the sun on the road, but anything you have on your roof is blocking the sun, so maybe just start packing panels.

[@jviewerm]

Agree with roof mount. My build has a roof top tent and only had "floor space" for one panel. So I mounted one fixed but mounted drawer slides on the uprights holding it. Then mounted a second so it would slide out when we are in camp for 200w when stationary. Great way to save roof space for cargo (bike mounts eg) but still maximize solar when camped.

[@Montana_Outdoor_Adventures]

[@kakman1958]

I've been following along the entire build and it's good to see it condensed here. I like the way you stacked the sides when building the frame to make them identical. So many people try to build them vertically on the trailer and it always seemed more prone to error - I'm intending doing it the way you did. Do you have any idea on the final weight?

[@Adv4x4]

Thanks man! It was equally as cool to me to see it all in this video too! I was really excited about this one. I don’t have an exact # on the weight but I’d say under 1000lbs for sure!

[@vertstang123]

I was impressed with the trailer before you even built the camper! You've got mad fabricating and welding skills!

[@jean-davidgodin7560]

Cool design. Just one point, you should avoid welding all around the tongue tube. It could break under fatigue without warning.

[@johnw65]

From watching this video, I can tell it was a challenge to build, but you pulled it off. I can’t wait to see what you do next.

[@Adv4x4]

Thanks Chase! It definitely was a challenge. I had never built a camper like that before. Only 2 other open air trailers prior to this. So I at least had practice with the overall frame design and how to do that part which helped. The biggest mystery when I started was the camper body it self. I plan as much as I can ahead of time but I find that I work best with the method of “I’ll see what to do when I get there” haha

[@mobileplayers5008]

[@philrazzi7782]

Great build. Really enjoyed watching that. I've been building Teardrop trailers since 1994 and this design is really appealing to me. On the rattle from the hitch, look up the anti-rattle ubolt. That will fix the rattle for sure. Also, to get more weight on the tongue put the axle farther back.

[@ddouglas3687]

Super sweet! I'd like to make a version of this that slides onto an existing brush/yard waste sturdy dump trailer so it could be dual use as a hunting camper! Awesome music too! 👍

[@JackFelker]

I’m 74. Most schools stopped teaching welding decades ago. Most young people don’t even know what hand tools are or how to use them. My grandsons are early twenties and this would be a professional skill job to them. I learned welding, metal fabrication, machining, wood working, drafting and more in four years of high school. Schools stopped teaching that stuff as unnecessary. But they still have basketball, football, wrestling and other courses that are unnecessary to living in the real world.

[@jimmyboy163]

[@missingMBR]

Such a great build! I wish I had your welding skills. My only suggestion is to dump that circuit breaker. They're rubbish. They can arc at high current even when the circuit breaker is open, which is very likely if you're using lithium. I've learnt this the hard way. I'd replace with a MEGA or T-Class fuse, depending on your load. If it's just the fan and lighting then even a MIDI fuse would do the trick. Blue Sea is my go-to. If you're using it as an isolation switch then replace it with Blue Sea or equivalent isolator switch.

[@Adv4x4]

Thank you! Anyone can learn if they put in the time!

[@harrymills2770]

Beautiful job. Things I'd do different. Most of the differences are 4-season base camp related. * 5x10 body, maybe longer, but still keep the same cross-section. Yeah, you might get stuck on a Kelly hump, but what were you doing dragging a trailer over a Kelly hump? * Moar insulation. * Back-wall that's one big door or 2 swinging doors. I like one that opens into an awning. Don't think I'd want air struts. Just an arm that fits into a bracket. * Woodstove in one of the back corners. Kimberly's are spendy, but 6 inch clearance is all you need and they burn very clean. * Have an outfitter tent tailored to marry up with the back of the trailer. Something solid, like a good Montana Canvas 10x12 is pretty easy to set up, solo. Have them (or the Amish) make a custom wall made for the square-drop. More time-consuming setup than a batwing awning, but way sturdier. I've been caught out in BAD weather enough times to not trust those batwing awnings. You don't want gear that fails when you need it most. Random thought from your dirt bike thing: I think you could fit a 100 cc dirt bike or small atv in a 5x10x4. Not positive about the height, but yeah. I'd be thinking along those lines. You'd have to roll the bike/atv out to camp, but it'd ride better there than on the tongue, if you could pull it off. You'd probably need some sort of simple slider, because there wouldn't be room to ride it in. But I think you could make one of these a mini toy-hauler.

[@williamolliges2622]

Very nice build. I hope you enjoy the removable tongue jack as much as I do mine. The peace of mind is great. I’m lazy, so I removed the crank handle and had a 3/4” nut welded to the shaft. 18v drill gives me an electric jack. With a home brew trailer, I’d have incorporated two more in the rear corners for stabilizer/tire changing duties. I’m gonna need to add leading edge fender sliders to my Cargo Trailer conversion after ruining a fender, and seeing yours.

[@Adv4x4]

That’s a great idea with the jacks! I really debated on adding some screw jacks to the rear but I told myself I’d probably never really unhook it. And the way that the axle was placed we wouldn’t be heavy enough to get it to tip. In hindsight it would have been a smart addition just for leveling it alone! Live and you learn! Good luck on your build!
