[@goodgoat3096]

A great looking, rugged, and well thought out design. Nice work on the video too, thanks for sharing.

[@buildlifeoverland]

Thanks for watching!

[@NasTimeAdventures]

Love your work. Love that some of the ideas were there simply because you liked the look of it. Good honest people. Cheers bud.

[@michaelosmon]

This thing is sweet. I want to make something similar for sxs overlanding. My wife says no way... so I can make it twin mattress wide for just me. I don't need a TV or anything just a vent and a light so it should be easy enough to pull off. Thanks for sharing your skills knowledge and experience. Appreciate ya

[@SandysSerenityCorner]

you do good work. I am curious though about what looks like an awning. is it an awning and if so, isn't it really low? can't tell you where I'm from because I have a cyberbully stalking me and trying to find out where I live and I don't want to help him find me 😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@buildlifeoverland]

Thanks! It is an awning. It is about 6'6" so plenty high for me.

[@BonesFPV]

Great video. Thanks very much.

[@upinsmokefirewood]

You Bet!

[@jessys9868]

What a great build! I finished mine a year ago, but really, I never finished and I got some wonderful ideas from your video. It is really smart looking. I hope to see some camping videos coming up… New subscriber.

[@buildlifeoverland]

Thanks! Always a work in progress LOL!

[@zakaroonetwork777]

6:53 Invert the Back Door so it Becomes a Counter top when open, but then make some clip on Pool Noodles so the kids don’t smack their head.

[@upinsmokefirewood]

That's a good idea. I've got a piece of plumbing insulation on it now cause its right at face height. I actually have a stainless table that lips onto the two little circles on the back. I need some longer push arms for sure.

[@countrymagic61]

Looks nice. I have been scouring videos of factory and DIY camp trailers, which lead me to yours. Slowly getting components and gear here and there, so I can include them in the design. Design it to fit and around the components and gear, rather than trying to make things fit after the fact. I will end up going with a DIY build. Get more bang for the buck and install the options I want. Awesome build.

[@buildlifeoverland]

Awesome, good luck!

[@perezrob93]

Nice work. I ended up buy a used home made camper not nearly as nice as yours but I see it as a great platform to make it my own . Cheers !

[@buildlifeoverland]

Very nice! Hope you get lots of use out of it!

[@joeromano5607]

Outstanding build!!

[@buildlifeoverland]

Thanks!

[@sigurdurmarolafsson4183]

Just found your channel and subbed. Are you selling the plans for the trailer??? Because I live in ICELAND and this is one of only few trailers that I have seen that looks " rugged enough " to cope for Icelandic off roading.

[@mickeysealtoe9719]

Nice you could for two and half Kamala’s in there. Again, nice mate.

[@Diane-m1z]

Nice job! Good looking camper!

[@buildlifeoverland]

Thanks!

[@ap6553]

Great design and build! From experience that must have taken a fair amount of your time.

[@buildlifeoverland]

It did. I enjoyed every minute of it!

[@ArmadilloJunction]

Nice rig I’ve done 3 so far trying different methods and styles , they are fun projects. Just picked up a gladiator so number 4 may be in the future. Have a good one !

[@buildlifeoverland]

That's awesome! I'm planning a big 2 axle build next I think.

[@ArmadilloJunction]

@@buildlifeoverland I started to warn you it’s addicting always looking for the next better idea

[@GoXplr]

Badass build. Nice job sir 👍👍

[@philj2670]

Nice rig. Cool ideas

[@buildlifeoverland]

Thanks 👍

[@livingworkingoutsidebox]

What a well thought out off road camper.😮👍🏕🛠⚙💪 Thanks for sharing. This is so familiar 🤔 ok just saw your explainer video. That makes sense. 👍🛠

[@buildlifeoverland]

Thanks 👍

[@Michael-mgh-nc6vy]

That's a sweet setup

[@buildlifeoverland]

Thanks, just the basics

[@outdoorsman2b918]

Great video and cool trailer. Great building skills as well. Most overlanders hang maxtrax and farm jacks.on their trailers. Is that something you think you may need? The cables on the roof, have you considered some kind of wrap or cable protector to protect them a little bit from the weather? Have considered installing a water tank with a couple of spray ports and a small pump? Definetly not an expert but I guess 10 gals maybe useful.

[@buildlifeoverland]

Thanks! Allot of these things are on the tow rig. I am able to keep the camper in my shop when not using it. Keeping the sun and rain off it when not in use goes a long way for cables and all the other stuff since it's only in bad weather a few times a year that I get some when camping. It has done really well.

[@jbsanger696]

Great build out... Love your ideas... Would you mind sharing where you purchased or sourced your side doors?

[@buildlifeoverland]

Thanks! I got them from a place called Challenger Door.

[@tracykooken2606]

well done amigo !!!!!!!!!!!!😊

[@buildlifeoverland]

Appreciate that!

[@timothypowell5501]

Nice job.

[@buildlifeoverland]

Thanks!

[@KuyaJones]

You did very good. A+

[@buildlifeoverland]

Thank!

[@MrMurphdog96]

cool camper !

[@buildlifeoverland]

Thanks!

[@259Den3]

Can you explain your decision to use the ball coupler over the articulating hitch?

[@buildlifeoverland]

Mostly because I move it around my shop and tow with several vehicles. My forklift has a 2" ball attachment and my truck has a class 5 hitch instead of a class 3 the jeep does so I never had what I needed. This just simplified logistics and I can't see a scenario where I really need the max coupler. If I take it somewhere that I might need it, it is easy to switch back.

[@2011italianoboy]

Very cool setup. Well thought out and designed. Maybe I missed it, but what kind of batteries did you use?

[@buildlifeoverland]

Thanks! Just a lead acid deep cycle marine battery. Had a problem with the charger over heating it though so I need to get a new one. Thinking of lithium Ion

[@mikewalker7551]

Badass bro

[@buildlifeoverland]

thanks

[@ellobitogris2.0]

I live in Alberta Canada and I will like to have one of my own

[@buildlifeoverland]

Awesome! Good luck. Better insulate it well in Canada!

[@ellobitogris2.0]

😮😮😮That is so cool can you make one for me

[@buildlifeoverland]

Ill have it ready Friday LOL!

[@jjlpinct]

Cool

Welcome abord Steve!

[@lennyp4782]

Okay , so where are you putting your belly? 😱🤪🤔🤫🤣

[@buildlifeoverland]

I gave it up! I fit in the camper better now too LOL!

[@KirkRagland]

Jeeps are becoming less capable. These modern jeeps cant do half or what a ww2 jeep could do.

[@aidanschmidt8370]

That’s a HOT take
