Armadillo Factory Tour! The new "boler style" travel trailer.

Welcome to Season 2! In this episode, we take a tour of the new Armadillo trailer factory. Come along as we see how these cute, little but spacious, travel trailers are built and learn a little about the company's vision. And our thumbnail artwork? It's a limited edition, original piece from local artist Sassan Filsoof! Please check him out through the link below.

Hi!
We’re Frank and Janet and this is Frank and Janet’s Adventures. Travelling when we can in our 2019 R-pod travel trailer “Manfred von R-pod" and our 2019 Nissan Frontier we call “Frannie”. It’s our small adventure rig.
Not all our adventures are epic. In fact, most are life in general type outings. We like to hike, bike, and kayak. Frank is roadie cyclist and I’m a group fitness instructor. We both still work so we try to get in an adventure when we can.
This whole KZbin thing is new to us so we hope you’ll find some entertaining moments (there’s bound to be a few!) and even some educational things you might find interesting. We certainly aren’t going to be posting every week but we will post once a month. So, we’d really appreciate it if you’d subscribe to our channel and if you click the bell icon, you’ll get notified when our next video is out.
Thanks so much! We’ll see you soon.

Very expensive per square ft of living space, but the reality of having quality craftsmanship, materials and fit and finish costs money. I'm sure there's a nitch in the market for that with people willing to pay for this kind of quality. You get what you pay for. The resale and value retention will be phenomenal on these trailers. I wish them much success.

I just love the Armadillo. If I get to a point to downsize that small my next purchase will be the Armadillo. Just beautiful!

[@frankandjanetsadventures]

Thanks for watching. We had an Airstream, too. They could learn a thing or two from Jason and his crew! To be fair, every brand has its issues but we were so impressed with this unit.👋🇨🇦

Hi Pat and thanks for watching! They are really a quality product and Jason definitely loves providing an enlightened work place for his team. Cheers!

[@jonathanemocling3826]

Wow!

[@Noniinthebush]

Don’t these look very similar to the Scamp? I do love that awning, I’d love that for my little fibreglass caravan in Australia, any idea where I could get myself one?

[@djkenny1202]

Extraordinary how they charge so much. I do like them. Would love a 4 sleeper without bathroom, and outside shower. But under 17k, at least.

[@frankandjanetsadventures]

Thanks for watching! We'll pass your comment on to Jason.👋🇨🇦

[@brianreynoldson1965]

I like the fact, their Canadian made.

@@brianreynoldson1965 that’s great, but still extremely pricey

Need to lose the gum. Otherwise, content and style are what I look for.

[@frankandjanetsadventures]

I know!! Didn't realize until we were putting it together. Won't be doing that again. Thanks for watching and apologies for the late reply.👋🇨🇦

[@kevinwelsh7490]

I am curious where the chassis and especially the shell comes from? How does the top get mated to the bottom and attached to the chassis? I wonder how the mold was made or did it come from a previous egg trailer manufacturer? thanks

[@frankandjanetsadventures]

Hi, Kevin. Thanks for watching. Jason buys the chassis from another manufacturer, built to spec. The shell molds are Jason's design and built on site. We weren't able to show the fiberglass portion of the plant but its all done on site. It's a two piece design, top and bottom that are then joined together. I encourage you to message Armadillo directly for more detailed information.👋🇨🇦

[@vinster907311]

Are u guys in Canada or US?

[@frankandjanetsadventures]

Hi! Sorry for late response. The factory is in Armstrong, BC Canada. Thanks for watching.

[@shopart1488]

What kind of gum was that???😂

[@frankandjanetsadventures]

Lol, the kind I shouldn't have had in my mouth! Totally forgot about it and didn't realize until we were putting the video together. It won't happen again. Thanks for watching! 👋🇨🇦

[@nomad4k]

The price is pretty high even considering that this is a vastly improved version of the boler. Scamp costs a little less, but the workmanship on the scamp is just not as good as this one.

[@frankandjanetsadventures]

They are expensive but for a quality unit we think they're worth every penny. 😉 Thanks so much for watching! 👋🇨🇦

[@meercatt]

I think the armadillo model needs a spot for a tiny trash can and the sink is super small 😬 Otherwise the design is super cute❤

[@frankandjanetsadventures]

Thanks so much for watching!👋🇨🇦

[@billtodd999]

Does she constantly chew gum?

[@frankandjanetsadventures]

Lol, no I don't. We didn't realize until we were editing! It won't happen again. Apologies for that. Thanks for watching.
