I love watching these Hikers evolve and get better and better every year. Keep up the good work!

Just deflate the tires a bit, for garage clearance.

[@My_Alchemical_Romance]

Great job. Thanks

I been watching these videos on the hiker camper. I like the portable power station setup and ac prep. Looked on the website to. I'd like to see one in person. What mattress fits a 5x9? With a 18000$ budget I'll keep this camper in mind.

[@ajc9580]

Can you explain if y’all did custom or if you went with a pre package set up from their series designer?

[@madman432000]

Is it possible to get just the box to slide into my utility trailer?

[@Stardrivepaintings]

I think the galley doors could use some options for storage and maybe a small fold up table, as well as something to hold it in place when it's open.

[@HikerTrailers]

We do have an option for door bungies that will hold them open during windy weather. We can even put them on all the doors!

[@bluemoose1972]

What about a 200 watt solar panels?

[@panchopachangas4450]

Have you thought of the option of adding a Thule Hullavator for kayaks? Or possibly making something similar so one person can load a kayak by themself? Some of the fishing kayaks can weight up to a 100lbs.

[@HikerTrailers]

We are looking into more and more vendors who offer all different types of accessories. I will add this one to our list to investigate and see what we may be able to offer in future. We have big plans for kayakers in the near future, but aren't ready to talk about all the details just yet. 😉

[@ellothereladds9786]

Can you add 2 battery’s and a second solar panel for 200 watts, I don’t see the 200W Solar panel option online but I’ve seen a few people with them on KZbin

[@HikerTrailers]

We can daisy chain the flex panels together to get to 200 watts for mounted panels, but most folks get a combo of mounted and portable panels usually around 180 watts.

[@DomDom-tw5jk]

You got great products ! 😍 Do you (or will you) export them to Europe, too ?

[@HikerTrailers]

We would love to, but being a small shop, we are unable to tackle that initiative ourselves. If we find the right import partner, it is something we would love to explore further

[@andrewbrooks2082]

What are your building materials? Do you have a lifetime warranty? How do you seal your seems?

[@HikerTrailers]

We use 3/4" plywood for the box construction. Any part of the trailer we make (box, frame, etc) comes with a 1 year limited warranty. Accessories come with their specific manufacturers warranty (about 1 year on most). We use flashing tape, rubberized paint, and 100% silicone to secure our seams in various places. Feel free to reach out directly to us if you would like a virtual tour of the factory or have more questions.

[@kermitzforg]

Are you able to build them without the rear shelving?

[@HikerTrailers]

This is something we try not to do very often because the shelving adds some structural stability to the box, but contact us directly to discuss your plans/ideas. 812-975-5300

[@ecd1678]

What is the price for the most base model. No frills just a sleeping compartment and a few shelves

[@HikerTrailers]

It will vary by size. You can see all of the base prices on our site: www.hikertrailers.com/model-comparison

[@travisadams4470]

In regards to battery options. It would be great to have the ability to plug in a solar generator and run the Hiker off of it. Something along the lines of a Bluetti 200 max. Drop in a solar generator, plug into it and you're ready to go. This would allow for more versatility

[@HikerTrailers]

This is an option that we DO have! We work with Goal Zero closely with their Power Station products, but we can wire a 12V male carport plug so you can drop in any unit with that output type: Goal Zero, EcoFlow, Bluetti, Jackery, etc. We can even wire the trailer with both an onboard battery and a Power Station so you can have all the power! :)

[@travisadams4470]

@@HikerTrailers Awesome! Thanks for the quick response.

[@RustyCyler]

I asked this same very question on the Hiker Trailer sub-reddit and got a few replies. Its awesome that Hiker replied to your comment so fast and that they do offer this electrical option. Also wanna say that Hiker Trailer recently updated their online build-configurator and has added the "12V Power Station Connection/12V Male Carport Pigtail For connection a Goal Zero or similar style power station" option to choose from.

[@travisadams4470]

@@RustyCyler Thanks for the info, Rusty!

[@edvidal3118]

Would have been great if you would have included the starting price of each

[@HikerTrailers]

This was taken from a livestream and was a bit more spontaneous than that. Pricing can be found online at: www.hikertrailers.com/model-comparison/

[@jeffwrinkle575]

What insulation options are available?

[@HikerTrailers]

Our roofs are insulated during construction. Most folks will use some sort of insulation / moisture barrier below the mattress they put in to assist in insulation, but being small and made of wood, a small heater is more than enough to keep warm during the winter months!

[@RustyCyler]

Seventeen inch tires are pretty small. Ha.

[@theboston3386]

You guys are great, but I just watched a video from Cosmo Weeps. I can't believe you let him tour and didn't kick him out. What a pompous fool, always interrupting the interview, think he's a know it all and basically bad mouthing right in front of y'all. I typically don't comment but just had to.

[@HikerTrailers]

Thanks for the feedback Chris. While I did not feel this way while walking Cosmo through the facility, I understand how some from a more traditional teardrop or RV experience might not always understand our trailers and the innovation we try to provide to the market. This is something we experience with a lot of first-timers at our Hiker facilities who might not have done as much research into our products. I will gladly show off our facility to anyone who would like to get a tour because we are proud of our unique trailers and believe they are the most affordable, best quality, and definitely most customizable teardrop on the market. I enjoyed Cosmo's time with us and the lengthy conversations we had about all the things that make us different to the other guys out there. We hope to produce more in-house content soon to help better explain and educate everyone on our products. Thanks for being a true fan of Hiker. ~Robbie
