The DIY Camper Trailer Build is now officially finished! In this episode we take the overlanding rig down to a local weigh bridge to see how much it weighs and the results are shocking!!
This build was a lot more than I had originally planned for a camper trailer but I am so glad it had come this far because bloody look at the thing! It was turning heads left right and center!!

You have done a good job. After 20 years in the army I never rolled one. And they do float. I have rowed them down many a river. Strapped Jerry cans on the outside. We called them a 1 ton trailer. I also daisy chained 6 of them together. Well done

[@EvanAust]

It's crazy how quick weight adds up. Looking forward to the next video series installing brakes and upgrading the capacity! :p

[@viewsONTRENDING]

Spoiler alert

[@chrisace8460]

Awesome to see it fully complete and the content to come with it. Keep up the great work on the channel! 👌🏼

[@adamsankey8702]

Congratulations mate it’s definitely been an exciting build to watch. now get out there and enjoy it you and the family deserve it bud 🍻

[@aarontownley1]

Amazing achievement mate, you should be super-proud. Can't wait to see what you have for us next!

[@plugg4r]

So happy with the finished product. 😍

[@stanleyj.mitchell4851]

As the owner of a 6 by 4 camper trailer, yours is good. I took a standard 6 by 4 trailer, had a canopy made for it, added King Quiky Rooftop tent and a set of 4 by 4 drawers. I have a 120 amp battery and 40 litres of water in 4 plastic cans. But I like yours. Happy camping. You never know, we just might meet up one day.

[@stevenmcnaughton1352]

As a No5 trailer owner and user, I can say brakes and shocks are game changers. Please do both. I just used oem hilux shock out of the bin at my local peders dealer. They were pretty new at the time.

[@chucknorris2938]

Far out what an awesome series, looks bloody perfect 👍

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Congratulations. It awesome. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend.

[@paulcarrall1396]

That is an awesome bit of kit mate! Looking forward to more builds 👍

[@Alan.livingston]

Nice work on the extra leg. The whole setup is Schmick. Great work!

[@jeremyharris4415]

Looks fantastic Tom I’m very impressed with the finish product only thing I probably would do is change the tow hitch on it and probably do brakes on it

[@Toby3610]

Just found your channel. Love it. This trailer is awesome. I love it. I have a new (well new to me but second hand) Suzuki Grand Vitara. It’s my daily drive but weekend warrior. Can’t wait to do more off-road stuff. Have done a couple of beach drives and fire roads of our local national parks.

[@fatborry]

This has been bloody good to watch mate. Great to see someone just havin a go without a $200 000 budget. Just grabbed a couple shirts to help out legend!

[@evil17]

Gr8 job mate, love the build & series. I have never had electric brakes, but I guess they would help control a lot better in slow, steep 4wd decent type scenario’s. Good vids. Cheers

[@shanenorwell8580]

Really enjoyed this series mate. It’s inspired my daughter and I to start building something similar together 👍🏻

[@locobogan9588]

Here I was pondering on doing a camper trailer out of a hilux tub and you pop up on you tube with this!?!? Must be a sign lol, can’t wait to see what’s next 👍🇦🇺

heyyy - i followed you on this one with every episode.. and yes, youve done well.. looking at you from all the way in the caribbean... awesome build series bro !!

[@tleej26]

Looks awesome, great setup, would love to have a camper like that for our trips away 🇳🇿

[@AoG_Rsqk]

Love all the videos mate 🤟🏽 keep it up!

[@jessetink3753]

Looks awesome mate. But don’t loose that pin that holds your hitch down. Looking forward to the next build 👍🏽

[@mundodebandeirante]

very good your videos. I'm building a camper and the information is very important.

[@TindogTravels]

well certainly a big difference than the Army trailer, i have towed the basic trailer quite a lot many years ago. just watch the body roll on rough terrain as they will go over! a lithium battery will save you a few kg as well. great build well done..

[@scotthepburn6616]

Looks mint man, great job.

[@doggit5362]

Great job on the trailer👍I’d be changing that hitch though.

[@user-qb4xr6ff9y]

Looks great man

[@glennymac9123]

Well done!

[@adamblundell6402]

Awesome job mate. I would definitely get brakes for it as legally it's only allowed to be 750kg fully loaded and if you get pulled over and weighed you'll be up shit creek. But the thing looks tough AF.

[@theairgoalkeeper964]

You should make your own camper company because what you’ve made is world class 🔥

[@pukavita]

That's a cool looking ute too, mate. The cops in WA give us yellow stickers (unroadworthy) if the tyres extend beyond the flares. It sucks...

[@mattbender3197]

Fully sick bro💪🤙🇦🇺. Well done mate looks so good. Been working on my trailer lately can’t wait to get it all workin. Go the brakes mate they make a heap of a difference. Little expensive to set up though.

Thanks mate!! They are super expensive but I reckon it needs them hey!

Water is one thing - that bloody fine bulldust is another ! A good trip will show up any weaknesses , take some spare tools and straps and have fun breaking her in 🤠

I was surprised how heavy it is considering my MDC 2012 camper is unbraked from the factory. Makes me think I need to weigh it and get it braked

[@newport5504]

hey what brand is your front box thank you looks great

[@rhysfoye7089]

Looks so good

[@RoamLyfe]

Thanks Rhys!

[@_Bags]

should try some of that spray on ceramic spray might help the trailer with water

[@6226superhurricane]

because that's a landrover trailer it has a fixed lunette eye and the land rovers have a rotating pintle hook which is other way around to normal. normally you have a fixed pintle hook and a rotating lunette eye. the way you're setup both are fixed which won't be an issue unless you get the trailer on a steep enough side angle to bind the hitch, or worse case you roll the tralier and it tips the nissan as well or just breaks the trailer or tow bar.

[@christopherrundle7845]

Doing the same to mine at the moment. What did you paint it with?

[@ye2t169]

Your Trailer looks like a dream! Just curious what was the build budget?

[@ndirangugichuki6260]

Hi there, new to the chanel, nice diy's. What wheels ( rims ) are you running on the ute and trailer ?

luv the trailer mate!

Is it true that coal is for sale?! I saw it on Facebook market place for sale. Such an awesome build. Trailer turned out perfect and looks wicked behind coal.

you should move the trailer spare tyre to coal and free up some extra weight on the trailer 👌

[@ye2t169]

Love the build where did you get the toolbox?

[@deklangrandmaster2447]

Very nice, how much did the build cost all up ?

[@RobGaunt73]

mate you gotta swap those wheels for the same as you have on your car. Then it will be a matched combo!

[@TG-zd9de]

Sweet bro. Might as well throw some tie downs or rail on the lid so you can strap things to the top of it between the tent. Great project, when the white Ute getting a make over? 👌

[@RoamLyfe]

Yeah great idea!! Thank you!

[@mikldude9376]

Nice effort mate , I probably would have went a different way with the hitch , I can see circumstances where that is going to drive you utterly nuts banging around. Longer draw bar does make them nicer too tow , I’ve built and rebuilt a few trailers over the years and all of them I extended the draw bar a tad , On my caravan too , my last trip with the big old rechassised caravan it towed like it was on a laser beam for 5000 K’s , I also replaced the old brakes with nice new hydraulic brakes , ( electric would have been nice too) , so much nicer to have good trailer brakes , did you end up fitting brakes ?

[@GibbyinOZ]

💂great job well done 👏👏👏 just swap pintal to army brake pintal 👍 🍻 💂

Thanks mate! Was around about 6-7k 🙌

man is the ute sold? i saw it for sale. what the reason for selling it?

If it was me, id put the tent under the frame and use that frame for a boat loader for a tinnie or kayaks or bikes 🤷‍♂️ thats imo

Why don’t you look for a treg hitch on market place. You can pick them up pretty cheap on there. Look 👀 out big red lol

how much has the project cost?

For Americans: Weight is roughly 1550 lbs. Which is super light. My full size camper weighs over 7,000 pounds.

What size is the trailer?

[@TheLeeman2011]

What brake set-up are you going to potentially go with? Also love the fact that the trailer is so light compared to others like you said.

Electric drum brakes with a handbrake is what I was looking at!
