Campinawe 6 Month Review: 4 Things We Love & 4 We Would Change

[@cherylbarrett3443]

I have an aluminum framed square drop, and it came with carpeted walls and ceiling. When I first looked at it, I thought it wasn't as attractive as wood walls, but after using it a year, I love the carpet. The walls are not cold (the 20s is the coldest I have been out in), and I don't have condensation problems at all. I can hang things on the wall with velcro, which I also love. What is the same is that the door squeaks exactly the same way.

[@HEKNBAK]

We love the cool walls in summer, but we think we will try the carpet for this next winter. We may try to attach it with velcro so we can remove it in the summer and have the best of both worlds, lol! Thanks for sharing your experience!

@@HEKNBAK I might try a heavy tweed or such material on the walls

[@HEKNBAK]

@@tedjones112 That could work! It wouldn't take much - just something to prevent touching it. It obviously isn't too big of an issue since we still haven't done anything about it, lol!

[@tedjones112]

Good Video. Thank You.

[@HEKNBAK]

Thank you! And thanks for commenting!

[@tonyalewis9053]

I think 3 in 1 oil or even bicycle chain lube should work on ur door squeak.

[@HEKNBAK]

Thanks for the suggestions! We tried 3 in 1 and it worked for a few weeks. Haven't tried chain lube though - maybe we will try that next time? I think it's more a problem when we're having lots of rain, which would make sense I guess, lol!

[@tonyalewis9053]

Naturally, my bike chain needs lubed regularly; especially after I wash it! The original family-owned Coleman Company recommended 3-in-1 oil for their camping equipment. 🤷‍♀️

[@HEKNBAK]

Good to know! Thanks!

Good to know! Thanks!

@@HEKNBAK Try “DryLube” which has Teflon. Lowes and Home Depot has this.

[@adventuresonwheels5272]

Just the video I was waiting for! So happy to find that is just minor things that could get improved. Being a Baja resident dust around here in the desert is the most common thing to find, so I think that would be a constraint for sure - I've seen some latches that has a screws to preasure the doors (very used in Australia), it's just a matter to see if those could be addapted to this trailer somehow. Thank you for sharing it guys!

[@HEKNBAK]

Great! We are really interested to see going forward if this was just the way we had loaded - we've added some extra gear, so are trying to find the right place for it - or if it was how fine the dust was. That could be a solution. We will keep you posted!

[@yepme6484]

When you use w d forty, it takes all the oil in it use three and one or something that has lube in it. Personal opinion.

[@HEKNBAK]

We appreciate the suggestion! We will give it a try.

[@jwalker-bondfire]

Great review! Thanks for sharing.

[@HEKNBAK]

Thanks for watching!

[@larryparson9609]

Something called tar fur for ceiling and walls will help with condensation and warmth

[@larryparson9609]

Rat fur not tar fur : expensive unit Runaway for me has a be price point

[@HEKNBAK]

Thanks for sharing that! We will look it up. It is on the pricier end, but we felt like design, materials and environmental focus were worth it. We do know a few people who own Runaways and like you said, they have a very good price point!

[@campinawe]

Thanks for the 6-month review and the feedback!

[@HEKNBAK]

We forgot to mention the great customer service too, lol!

[@user-uf4qq5ch7w]

Hi from NZ. Love your camper. I gave up on buying a teardrop and had a camper made by an engineering firm for me. No pop up or canvas but enough room for two fold down seats plus you can take your boots off and get dressed inside like yours. I have used some self adhesive carpet tiles (300mm2) to insulate the walls from cold touch, looks nicer as well and very cost effective. I also have a small portable diesel heater which sits outside but heats quickly and has a remote. I prefer it outside so no combustion going on inside plus in summer I can just leave it behind. Try experimenting with additional dust seals, I have tweaked mine from new and doubled them up so no dust ingress. Happy camping.

[@HEKNBAK]

HI NZ! Thanks for watching and sharing! I love the carpet tile idea - Hadn't though of that. We were thinking carpet of some sort or even a yoga mat type foam, but carpet tiles would be so easy! We talked to Campinawe about the seal and turns out it was just that the latch needed an adjustment, so that is doing well now. We've had it a year now and still really happy with it. It is just enough, lol!

[@papatravels61]

i like it, i looked at them but ended up with the nobo 10.6 and the independant suspension

[@HEKNBAK]

That's kind of funny - we live in Indiana and bought a trailer made in Kansas, and you live in Kansas and bought one made in Indiana, lol!

[@daisymae3511]

Good reporting! 😊

[@HEKNBAK]

Thanks!

[@papatravels61]

if you guys ever come through kansas lets camp. we go to colorado 4 times a year and up into wyoming.

[@HEKNBAK]

We will let you know when we are headed out that way!

[@patricekevil7168]

Love your review! Have you experienced any water leaking into the kitchen area? Or just the dust? Have you had it happen again?

[@HEKNBAK]

Thank you! We actually talked to Campinawe about it and turns out it was just an adjustment that needed to be made to the latch. Since then, no problems at all! They have been great to work with!

[@user-dt9mm9tb8e]

Hello! I’m seriously considering purchasing a Campinawe. Would you be willing to answer some questions I have? Lindsey

[@HEKNBAK]

Sure! You can ask here, or if you prefer to email, our contact info is on our about us page.

[@prjctwolf]

A perfect example of "awe shucks" people who dont do their research before buying 🤦‍♂️

[@brettlogwood8856]

There is no way you can research everything that you couldexperience with a car, camper or anything else you buy.

[@gregv2364]

What research, they are happy with it. They just listed small pet peeves guy, a squeaky door..a Velcro strap. Lmao..you seem like the type to “research” and way over think when you shop and never actually end up getting anything . Just complain about why you didn’t get it 😂

[@prjctwolf]

@@brettlogwood8856 its called KZbin

[@prjctwolf]

@gregv2364 ya know what? Every major purchase I've made, I researched the shit outta it..if i missed something, i owned it.. i didn't make a video belly achin about it
