Budget Overland Trailer Build Pt5 - DIY Rotopax & 5 lb LPG mounts + My Favorite Upgrade Yet

[@skav2407]

I've watched a lot of these off road trailer builds and this is easily one of the best series. Well thought out and imagined. Thank you.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Thanks for watching I appreciate it. 🍻

[@deepsouthNZ]

Dude youre good at this you could have a great career as a television presenter

[@TheStryderPrime]

I love this setup wow !!!!!!!!!! Copying this !!!

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Thank you so far its been awesome, trailer and new tent shakedown video coming soon. Thanks for watching 🍻

great job bud. 👍

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Thank you 🍻

[@cuteo7869]

Very clean! Thank you for sharing.

[@overland_dadsfl]

That is by far THE BEST Carry on conversion out there.👍👍👍👍👍

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Thank you i appreciate it 🍻

[@jasonsiler8300]

Rotate the propane tank so the threads are facing the trailer. The collar will protect the tank.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Good idea, thank you

[@SquareLyfe]

Man, your videos are just getting better and better, and so is that trailer. Loving this whole build series.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Thanks bro , it’s a ton of work but comments like that make it all worth it man! It’s time to take it camping 🏕 thanks for watching 🍻

[@s.wilson5199]

You can find videos on how to beat your lock in under a minute. If the lock is inside the basket, it could be made less accessible and more effective.

[@melrichardson2392]

Awesome build very cool ,thankyou for sharing.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

It’s been a really fun build so far! Thanks for watching 🍻

[@scottjacobs7522]

First time seeing your videos , that’s a great looking trailer

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Thanks for watching I appreciate it 🍻

[@DanielSturge]

Good stuff man

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Thank you 🍻

[@quanphun4996]

It may be a lil ghetto but you can use a water bottle, heat it up and it will take shape of the propane threads to close it off from the elements. quick and ez

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

No idea is a bad idea, I found a cap on Amazon I’ll show it to you in our next video 🍻

[@makepartsUSA]

you could use a trashed gas grill regulator and make a cap - it has the right threads already

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

That’s a good idea, I bet I could transfer the design to solid works and 3d print them too. Thanks for watching 🍻

[@Armandomendoza41713]

Such a good build!

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Thanks for watching, I appreciate it 🍻

[@hammertime7571]

Wow! You’ve done a great job with this trailer.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Thank you, it’s been a fun build

[@johnossendorf9979]

Very nice! May I suggest a weep hole so the bottom tube of the jack can drain. Water splits tubes and pipes when it freezes.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

It’s been great to move around in the trail. Also a weep hole is a really good idea. Thanks for sharing 🍻

[@johnossendorf9979]

@@ATEMOFFROAD Remember to clean out the weep hole before winter. Especially if it's under a 1/4 inch.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

@@johnossendorf9979 thank you , as of now it’s been garaged, but I do plan on taking it through weatherly storms. 🍻

[@johnossendorf9979]

@@ATEMOFFROAD Sounds like fun !

[@westernbackroads]

Great job bud. I need to get one started soon

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

It’s been a very fun little trailer build. Thanks for watching 🍻

[@imichael.]

Great video. Just a heads up: deter is pronounced "dee tur."

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

That’s fair , thanks for watching 🍻

[@TornadoTattooOklahomaCity]

This is the perfect trailer! I need something like this. Great work

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Thanks for watching I appreciate it 🍻

[@TheTwoll86]

Drill you a hole in the bottom of that bottle mount for water to drain so it doesn’t rust out. Otherwise everything looks awesome!

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Good idea , then I won’t have to remove the plastic cap! Thanks for watching 🍻

[@theamaturepro]

@@ATEMOFFROAD I'm a year late to the party, but I was going to recommend another "poormans slot" on the bottom for drainage. Also get some round caps for the big holes. Love this build man

[@deepsouthNZ]

I would have the locks on the inside of the trailer

[@juansanchezrealestate]

This thing looks awesome. At first I wasn’t to sure about the lowes trailer becoming an overland trailer but I’m now sold on the build. Great job. I wish I can copy you and make myself one however, without any welding experience, I think I will have to skip on that. Lol.

[@juansanchezrealestate]

Can you share a ballpark money spent on this project so far?

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

As far as welding goes, it can be a little intimidating, but there are classes you can take that are inexpensive at local junior colleges to learn. I think anyone can do it, the first step is getting a welder and practicing. And alot of the little stuff is practice! I always say you can outsource alot of the real important structural stuff to a local fabricator who is comfortable. That way you are comfortable about your build too! I feel like welding is like riding a bike and when you start learning you have it down, and then you begin to learn how to do tricks over time! Well something like 🤣🤣 I hope that I can inspire one person to take in the challenge and learn something new. It’s a great life experience IMO even if you don’t pursue it. I’ve always thought that if he could do it I can too. Thank you for watching I appreciate it! 🍻

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

I saved a lot by already having the trailer , that minimized the cost of buying steel and using the trailer as a foundation to build up. Steel costs have been bogus lately, and I’m not made of money. I figure it’s not a super crazy build , very simple and light weight, still obey the manufacturers handling suggestions etc. Overall dollar cost average, and that’s everything $2700. And I could have gotten away with a lot of things I really didn’t need to do! For instance the max coupler , the fenders and tongue box, Rotopax, axle upgrade! Things like this i choose to do this! I’m sure you could definitely cut that 2700 down even more based on your personal configuration and needs.

[@moesy5868]

Great project you got. Thank you for sharing. Btw, can kind and brand of welding machine are you using?

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Thanks and welcome to the channel, I’m running a Hobart handler 187 MIG welder. I change from flux core to 75-25 gas in this machine all the time. 🍻

[@williamolliges2622]

Plenty of room for a double rotopax mount.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

I might need to do this soon , I want more storage! Thanks for sharing 🍻

[@JoeJacksonGT3]

Did you use a mitre saw to cut the tubing? If so, what blade? I'm new to fabricating so trying to figure out what tools I'd need to build my own

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Yes I have a 12” chop miter saw for steel and a band saw that I switch between for making all the cuts. I use dwalt blades found on Amazon. 🍻

[@maelito787]

Maybe swapp the water and gas cans so the propane is not that close to the gasoline?

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

I like this idea, thank you

[@TerraFirmaX]

nice

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Thanks for watching 🍻

[@Lady8580]

Great videos. I've been working on a 3.5 x 5 myself. What length on the tongue did you end up going with?

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Thanks from the front of the tool box to the end is 38” 🍻

[@andrewwilliams482]

From the bottom of the frame to the top of the frame

[@dannyquinones5370]

Hello nice job , can you share the bill numbers of all parts bought for you trailer mayor parts thanks 😊

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

I have around 2700 in the trailer build , that’s everything. Thanks for watching 🍻

[@shammyadv]

Where in the central valley are you from?

[@spencerd76]

should fuel and water cans be INSIDE trailer, so as not to get rock rash/damage?

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

It’s a good idea, if I notice something ahead that might damage them I can put them inside! Thanks for watching 🍻

[@meandyou7178]

If you ever sell this thing let me know, I’m interested. Thanks

[@BTBLive]

Do the trailer wheels fit the jeep and vis versa?

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Yes

How tall is it

Hello I need the vendor for fender m416 I am build one trailer

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Check the discription box! Link is in there

[@mikehancho5286]

Do you have an overall cost up to this point of just the trailer?

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

I’d say roughly 1200 no tent , thanks for watching 🍻

[@alwynvanwyk1851]

So, why would you go through all the trouble to tow a total stupid trailer with you? A rooftop tent, two empty jerrycan, a toolbox, and that's that 😎😎😎

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

With your logic it makes you wonder why they even make camping trailers, Coaches, and RVs to begin with. We particularly like offgrid, offroad 4x4 dispersed camping and with a family of 4 + 2 dogs, we use two tents, one on top of the jeep for kids, and my wife and I use the trailer or vise versa. Not much room in a jeep to sleep 4. 🤷‍♂️
