Campinn Tear drop Trailer

[@Baasicstuff]

UNITS for SALE!! [e-mail]

[@Baasicstuff]

Yes like any other trailer its charged via outlet or by your car when driving. Yes if you google it folks have placed solar panels on the top of these models. The coolest thing I saw was a propane generator, they are silent and very efficient camp inn set that up for the customer

[@Dougout92]

years ago I built maybe 15-20 of these. I did all the wood cutting for a friend who sold them as kits....a lot of work. Whoever built your unit ...really did a class act, over the top job. Very impressive. Thanks for sharing.

Great detailed video! No worries about the length. I could of watch an hour of this. Your enthusiasm is contagious! Thanks for giving us a look!

[@HerbWalker]

Man that is amazing. I was in the Army in Germany and we stayed out in the field training ALOT. I would have LOVED this little rascal!! Thanks, You made me want to go CAMPING!!! LOL

[@across5805]

Awesome x 10! I can also relate to the 'ocd', lol. Great taste in every single accessory and it's placement. Not just words but that is the absolute best camper I'd seen, bar none! Fantastic job.

[@Baasicstuff]

will do some videos on it someday, still have it

[@sablesanctum]

Just about the coolest little camper I've ever seen.

[@voltron5128]

Great detailed video. No worries about the length. I couldn't get enough. You're enthusiasm is contagious!

[@ravenshadevox]

"when I'm camping I don't wanna hang out in a camper" I love it, great attitude towards camping! Cheers!

[@Baasicstuff]

absolutly, my back requires a real bed. I sleep like a baby in this thing and wake up ready to spend time outside. Now what if its raining thats what my Car mounted Tarp is for. If its real cold and I want to warm up without a fire, a little space heater the size of a soda can a good book; I sit on the sofa with the family inside for a bit. Bathroom well a tree works good but if at any campground in the USA I use the clean and full size camp ground facilities; no clean up needed the staff takes care of that. When camping I love to show folks this camper, I expect at least 3 visitors daily. I meet the neighbors, make some coffee and talk which I like to do :) Thank you for the nice comment

[@ravenshadevox]

cheers!

Doggorunning Qual a possibilidade de eu importar para o Brasil?

[@Baasicstuff]

Ivete Quintela ship to Brasil? Anything is possible

[@Baasicstuff]

I have been using the camper kitchen for the last year; during my house remodel. No issues!!

[@Zoritsa]

A teardrop camper is on my wish list. Thanks for making a video showing yours....I could watch these all day long. Someday....someday....

[@Baasicstuff]

Yes I tape that video the fit and finish of the campinn in is far better than his. Also to build his cost way more than 20k. Materials alone on a Campinn would cost 8k at least, I work 12 hours a day I make about $38 an hour, I dont own the equipment to make one. My time cost money; Im glad you have skills, equipment, etc. Your sounding like the Geek that says you should build your own computer its cheaper than the Mac. I bought the Mac and I bought the Campinn I like the best

[@Baasicstuff]

Campinn is the company, they have many models, all are priced different; this ones the top line. If the units are in good condition like this, no matter how old they are they will sell for about 75% current price. Mine was made in 2005

[@firehandszarb]

I love the whole look of the camper. I imagine that it is very comfortable.

[@thebigoaktree8401]

Good little trailer and great walk through. It seems packed with everything one could need for light to moderate camping. Your pleasant, sometimes comical personality, really adds a welcomed human presence to your review of your awesome trailer. Thanks.

[@MrLwireny]

In comparison to a motorhome, these are a blessing to pull and use!!!

[@Baasicstuff]

you should start building them, cause folks like me are willing pay so much for these little campers. When you get your shop set up send me some pictures would love to help your business out with a shout out. Never had the idea of just building one myself, currently I'm busy building a BMW 650i from the ground up, dam Germans charge way too much for those things ;)

[@Baasicstuff]

thank you, family is everything

[@ZephZhang]

This is a wonderful piece of engineering and craftsmanship. Your enthusiasm is contagious, too :)

[@cmonsterz]

I've always liked this video. I wasn't even aware of this little trailers prior to this video.

[@z.c.m9908]

Ohh niice! Once I seen the two bunk beds, I was sold. I have two toddlers and a 9 yr old, all boys. I can definetley see me and my 3 love bugs enjoying this. Id love to go camping with other family members and us in this .Its gorgeous!

[@Baasicstuff]

its very functional, even those that hate it for some reason see the great use one can get. My family and I will be going cross country soon in ours; moving from VA to CA :)

[@z.c.m9908]

Awesome!! Ahh I bet you guys have soo much fun!! Heyyy California woot woot! Lol im in California, you guys will love it here! We get one season all year long lol , jk !! Anyway, be safe ,and happy travels!!

[@cecilstone9679]

Love this teardrop trailer What a beauty Thank you for sharing

[@Baasicstuff]

please share via Facebook as this helps me, I have to pay the bills lol

[@Baasicstuff]

year at the 4 yr mark but it was an easy fix and the moon roof is worth any trouble it may give you

[@davespark10]

I would totally hook up a super Nintendo to that little TV while camping :D

[@cesargaxiola4593]

My wife and I love it , we want one and yours is the best we seen yet

[@zkat13]

Thank you for the extra long video... Better shots than the pictures. I'm 5ft 11in, and have a 75lb dog, and cat that will travel with me. I'm looking seriously for a tiny home, and until I can make that happen... I want to be able to move and travel. I figure with a shower shelter, maybe a screen structure..I'm good. I'd consider the bunkbed, and open up the queen bed space, for storage etc..BTW, I'm looking at full time living for awhile...so extra appreciation for the information.

[@sandygivens1387]

I really enjoyed your video! I have just started my hunt for a teardrop and don't have a lot to spend, so watching your video has helped my figure out what I must have and what I can add on later. A lot to think about. Your unit is my dream unit! Good job!

[@Baasicstuff]

Run the numbers, resale value, insurability, collect ability if you have the funds and this is what your looking for its a no brainer. Hell a 2011 Little guy shadow would cost you 12K on Ebay. Quality cost money, for those of us that want the best I'm willing to spend 8K more to get it. Thanks by the, many folks feel just like you, not an unusual response, the above is just my take on it.

[@joebayron]

LOL! i thought jack black was behind the camera. love the camper, very nice interior

[@Baasicstuff]

I hear that allot why I don't know?

[@dethmaul]

To me he sounds like sixtyfiveford :)

[@jeffphillips94]

Thanks for the review ! questions 1. How are the seals around the doors and hatch ? on dirt roads do you get dust inside either area ? 2 . the galley countertop storage lids...do they get locked in place when the hatch is closed? both questions are about bumpy/dusty roads (desert for me)

[@Baasicstuff]

Ive taken mine, deep in CA desert areas, Painted Desert Area, no dust, all cabinets locked shut. Also did remote camping a few times out above Barstow CA, no issues. Now these are not off road units, Just like my 4x4 Honda is not really an off road car, its an SUV with 4x4, you get me? I saw no damage at all, just dust on the outside. Where you at?, selling mine, you could upgrade the suspension and tires in the rehab project, now that would make it really off road worthy. These things are easy to work on

So sick!! Just been fiberglassing my homebuilt all-terrain truck camper.

[@Baasicstuff]

Google Campinn and if you decide to buy let me know I have coupons

[@long_strange_trip5959]

I need one of these. would be great to travel the country with one of these in tow. Its got all you need.

[@derrickmorris3831]

That, my friend, is a thing of beauty. Thanks for showing it.

[@Mountainbum1876]

Man that thing is so Awesome! I love the looks and all the features of it and also how every thing packs away so neat and tidy like you said. Hopefully one day I will get one!

[@kennyc388]

Looks like something Buck Rogers would cruise in!! It's hot!

[@killersushi99]

Awesome! Needs 2 cup holders on the side walls inside. Perfect!

[@Baasicstuff]

I LOVE MY CAMPER

[@Baasicstuff]

[@slofr8dan]

Well...I was liking this vid until I saw the galco holster...then I was LOVIN' it. way to go dude..you are the first line of defense for your family.

[@martinproctor5803]

Nice video...the campinn folks owe you an extended warranty. I just bought a Little Guy 5 wide. Much less fancy and less added toys. I agree and am amazed so far at how much room there is...4 days...self contained, no problem. I use the cheap skillet with cover, bbq pit/grill, and little propane stove method for cooking. Not having a big stove saves me a lot of room. Same for the sink delete. I never had a sink and manage fine with 2-8 gallon bottles of water. Thanks man...go tear drop!

[@alexdiasba]

men, it rocks...i never suppose to camping after to see this video....now, i'm my one...regards from poland =)

[@derpate7616]

You could frame up like 4 45 watt solar panels in a box that can be placed on your roof in a accordion hinge folding unit that you can place either on the roof or on the ground for additional power, changing your tv to an small lcd flat panel will also save a HUGE amount of power....you should be able to do a power make over for around $500 and I'm sure you would be happy with the results.

[@tubbz691]

YES! Common sense and the will to DO SOMETHING! I applaud you sir. This is what America was founded on.

[@Baasicstuff]

I love nice things and get very passionate at times

[@Baasicstuff]

They offer this but I use a 5x8 small space heater, just place it out of sight on the shelf. Gets the unit nice and toasty

[@jimbojerry596]

Having a little canopy tent right outside one of the doors.(the cheap ones that you put together like a tent) would make it perfect!:) so like if it was raining you could still stretch your legs a bit or anything like that and also you could move it by the kitchen area and still cook and whatnot. Awesome video man one of the best

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

That an amazing compact trailer. Sure beats a tent. Good video as well.

[@Baasicstuff]

yes way better than a tent for sure, I wake up being able to walk. My back issues are very serious; I also love the full kitchen. Its just like being at home except I run this kitchen not my wife. My wife is Japanese, she likes the break but at home she runs the house. Her rules, which I like but sometimes its nice to show her I can also cook, yet lately she has started to enjoy the Campinns kitchen and gets in my way lol. She said "its small like me, I cook tonight;" ok ok I guess I will just sit here by the fire. She's such a good woman

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Doggorunning LOL about the kitchen. Yeah I know what you mean about waking up with a stiff back when camping. I ve had injections in mine in the past. I looks a nice thing to own, very retro but modern. Enjoy your trips away buddy !

[@Baasicstuff]

fredintheshed1 Thank you, Sir

[@gregc6661]

Very nice trailer, great video. Thank you.

[@Baasicstuff]

Still have her vid coming soon

[@geoffreyking9288]

Thank you for the time you took to educate me. Fascinating.

[@SandraNelson063]

Your daughter must love her little hideaway! She will have such happy childhood memories of her time camping. My Dad liked to haul all of us (mom, me, my bro) to go camping in this old canvas tent. I have horror stories about that tent. It all came to an end the year I was 14, when the tent ceiling finally gave out. That was also the summer that the bear came for breakfast. Please, do all you can to avoid that. And try to avoid the motorcycle gangs. Yeah, I got some horror stories.

[@Baasicstuff]

gangs lol Ive been lucky enough to learn how to take care of myself; thanks to sports and the US Gov

[@gonzaloleon7448]

Das ist alles sehr gut durchdacht und auch solide gemacht.

[@greensboroughcycles8653]

He must love mini campers and tree houses when he was younger

[@KlausHildner]

Nice mix of alu and wood, and niiicely shaped!

[@rebelliousramen]

thats a sweet basic trailer well made and totaly cool

[@lucy2steele]

Oh my gosh I watched this at the beginning of the summer and ended up going to a music festival.. If I had had this, it would have made it SO much more comfy....best part is that the galley is good for 3 or 15 I bet!!

[@joecool9075]

Great vid! Great teardrop! Great vid work and descriptions and explanations! Happy camping my friend! And hope your back has healed up good!

[@tubbz691]

Love the sarcasm! I have been looking at building one. There are a multitude of plans on the net for these campers and this one shown isn't anywhere near the most luxurious. If you look at some plans and what it takes to build one it isn't all that hard. Im currently drawing mine up on Sketchup (free 3D drawing program from Google) and buying basic materials. I do have a leg up since I have been a professional welder for 22 yrs....

[@ReggieTime]

l was about to freak, then you DID slide the curtains!!!, l love teardrops!!!....

[@thomasmcclenan1776]

Great Teardrop and a thoroughly done tour.

[@gabrielshepard]

You have a really nice trailer there!!! never seen inside of one of these before.... really, really nice!!!!

[@brendonwright927]

what a stunning camper, if i was going to buy one it would be the same as yours, about the only changes i would make would be solar panels, a 12 volt cooler box, and a flat screen tv, other than that its perfect, im very jealous .

[@Baasicstuff]

Brendon Wright They will install a solar panel the coolest thing Ive seen is a propane generator hardwired in one of these units. When getting the best factory unit on the market customization is something that they handle very well.

[@arnak7833]

Brendon Wright and raintime?

[@fredbrackely]

Fantastic little camper. Thanks for sharing.

[@rollingstopp]

and also of course the vehicle your pulling it with will have storage space.. nice trailer, video, thanks poster

[@Baasicstuff]

Campinn is the name of the unit they have 2 models the 550 and the 560. You can google Campinn Campinn 550 Campinn 560 but googling Campinn will be just as good

[@janesmith572]

brilliant love your enthusiasm. when you say " shiny " . we don't have them in our country, maybe one or two. love it. a really good look around. thank you

[@Baasicstuff]

As long as I'm around I will never have to live with the fact that I didn't prepare enough to protect my family. Great comment thank you!

[@nascar88ford]

Very good video. I like the videos that the people making the video care about what they are filming. Very in-depth. I just bought my first camper in May of this year and really enjoy it. I just uploaded a video, even though it isn't quite the quality of yours. Enjoy that little, but very practical, thing!

[@ihiaama5]

A really nice compact camper, but the one thing I would want different is the stove pulling out towards the back, instead of sliding to the center. It just seems to be a stretch to reach in to tend the cooking and clean up after.

[@riverlighttrider]

This is the most detailed video of a camper that I have ever seen... It's an experience rather than a tour or demonstration. This camper is fantastic! I know it's expensive, but less than a good little car. I know the prices given were 9 to 21 k ... but how much did this one cost you? I'd think it was on the high end ... I'm pondering getting one... thanks to your video !

[@philt7482]

Great! An enthusiastic & informative video along with quality footage. Thanks for sharing.

[@KeigoMoriyama]

so beautiful! I am planning to build one here in japan, and looking around for plans and ideas

[@cy2087]

Thanks for showing this to us. I like this teardrop! Aerodynamic....no, not really. ArtDeco/retro cool...YES!!!. Also, this looks nice and cozy for 1. I LOVE the fan but, I'd need some light blocks. Not really a problem though if you're innovative. Definetly woth considering. Thanks.

[@Baasicstuff]

I sit under my 20x20 awning and watch the storm, this is camping not a small house :)

[@KermitVonSchnitzel]

Well done! That was really interesting you explained everything really clearly and made camping look so much fun - Thanks a lot! :)

[@seannewhouse892]

If they expanded the outer walls outward more like kind of bubble shaped theyd be noticeably roomier inside! And, make use of a higher ceiling as well, would go a long way as do pull-outs, fold-outs and space utilization contouring

[@carlosh7166]

Great job on the video always wanted one cause I love to camp but I love a RV as well and this is the best of both worlds. Once again great job!!

[@Baasicstuff]

very good idea I will do it

[@judyhobday5334]

I have a Ford Trans connect and wonder if it could tow this little trailer? Been told it cannot tow, but saw one the other day hauling a utility trailer so need to find out. For those that don't know the trans connect is a vehicle used mostly for deliver vans and came into the US just a few years back and I bought one of the first in this area for my personal use. My daughter says it looks like an ice cream truck but love it. This little camper would work for my needs, so cute and useful. Someone complained about the length and should be edited. For myself I liked the extra attention to the details. So many people rush to get it done and a lot is not explained. Each to his, or her, own taste I guess. Really a cute trailer and would certainly like one for my own use.

[@Baasicstuff]

Get the elec brakes like mine and it can do it but if I was to go to the HILLS allot I would get the smaller Campinn trailer.

[@Baasicstuff]

***** I'm posting a video on towing tonight, it will show my brake controller and the unit being towed. This should answer any towing question one should have, thank you Jay for being so helpful to our fellow campers. This is what makes these units so fun. Went camping last week, out of the 10 folks camping 4 of them had small campers. I mean small 2 smaller than my 560 and the other two were vintage single sleeper "Scamps". The camaraderie that we had was intoxicating their was one big camper. Didn't see them as they spent most the day inside watching TV, crazy I know.

[@jamesnelson9303]

Want. Very nice! Found your link after surfing from instructables. Looking into making one myself. Like your video!

[@SingleMaltSmash]

never wanted nor even thought about this until this vid...damn. now i will have one one day haha. very nice!

[@rjschneid47]

Cool unit. On the video. If you want to do more - edit it. Walk around footage gives most people motion sickness. Write your comments down in a script, record them separately, and edit the piece. Macs and PCs all come with editing software. This is a 10-minute video "crammed" into a 26 minute space. Think compact - like the trailer.

[@Baasicstuff]

Thank You, I will be doing another video with that in mind. This is less of a commercial but rather a VERY indept look and thoughts of a user, never imagined this video would get so many hits. Motion sickness yes, I can see how different angles on a tripod, edited would be much easier to watch.

[@booitis]

thank you for being so thorough. Its a beautiful camper.

[@ratoneJR]

very nice unit. you really made an excellent choice.

[@Edie007]

Nice little tear drop, but (again) this is really for camping on nice and/or hot places, when it's cold you have a problem :)

[@Baasicstuff]

They have a propane heater option but for me 30 degree weather and a small heater the size of a large coffee mug kept us nice and warm. Watched a movie in shorts and a T shirt

[@mikesmith5375]

Just get a ZERO sleep bag cold weather plus -NO PROBLEM!

[@iitomodachi]

Wow that thing rules! Thanks for sharing!

[@1SAAM11]

"I'm not as sexy as I used to be." THAT was funny!! Good video!

[@HellzNord]

I really like that teardrop camper! If I had it though I would beef up the suspension and tires for some heavier duty off road use. Would be nice if it was a few feet longer :P Very nice though!

[@billchapel5248]

I never watch TV when I am camping, I don't even watch it at home anymore.

Just the sunroof and it was an easy fix, rubber handle seals replaced fixed $20

[@vaioskaliakoudas6388]

So, where will you you hook your external wifi antenna while you're camping? Also, you should make the rear lower shelf on the bed foldable to the back wall for space saving and more comfortable sleep

[@dimitrisalbanis]

Really nice video, and wonderful Tear drop ! I just have one simple but quite important question I guess ! Lets say you are camping somewhere outdoors and you decide to leave your Tear drop parked while you are exploring, does it have a kind of mechanism to prevent it from being stolen? You know how cars need a key to start, I figure that if thieves wanted to take it they could just transport it and carry it off !

[@Baasicstuff]

We have a wheel club and hitch lock $30 its going no where
