After taking it with me for a 2000 mile trip from Florida to Pennsylvania and sleeping in it 4 nights in cold, snowy weather, here is my review of the ‪@OffGridTrailers‬ Expedition 2.0. To some it all up, I love the thing. I hated turning it back in to Peter of Southern Wild Expeditions!
So check out my walkthrough of the trailer and hear my observations on it.
As always thanks for watching! And if you want to take this trailer for a spin, here's how you rent it for yourself.

Excellent walk through. Is there insulation or even heating for water tank and water lines? Otherwise how could it be used in below freezing?

[@NathanKingOverland]

Thanks very much! I’m not sure and that is an excellent question (that a guy from Florida wouldn’t think of). I will find out the answer and post it here.

[@SSL0707Star]

@@NathanKingOverland haha, make sense. I dig just a little, and think may not be there.

[@NathanKingOverland]

@@SSL0707Star Okay. I messaged Off Grid Trailers and Chris Miller gave me a call to answer my questions. The water tank itself is inside the insulated portion of the trailer, so you have some protection from freezing there. The issue that remains are the connections and the lines to those connections which are outside the insulated area. Insulation could be added to the box that the water connections are in, but barring running the furnace all the time (which would eat up your propane) those connections are still apt to freeze. With enough 12V power available, perhaps a small heating element would be an option. But all that being said, this is a normal situation with campers and RVs. Water during winter is a challenge.

Awesome. I should check into it when I'm ready. Thanks for the review. 👍

[@NathanKingOverland]

Definitely. Thanks for watching!

[@OverlandPNW]

That trailer is a thing of beauty! I keep thinking about getting one.

[@NathanKingOverland]

It is indeed! Try one out and see what you think about it. There’s a few of them on Outdoorsy.

[@thomasudell4848]

Thank you. Great video and review

[@NathanKingOverland]

Thanks Thomas! I appreciate that. I love that camper. Thanks for watching!

[@raydesiderio3484]

Solid Review, thank you

[@NathanKingOverland]

Thanks for watching! Overall, that trailer is a tank!

[@terryfish470]

Nice rig!!

[@NathanKingOverland]

Yessir!

[@AGards1011]

Nice! My family rented this from Peter for a trip to Anastasia St. Park and it was amazing. Family of 5 was comfy and did make it through a downpour one night. Peter is an amazing host and his trailer is top notch. HIGHLY recommend you check it out if you are thinking about an off-road capable teardrop.

[@NathanKingOverland]

Awesome! I agree 100%!

[@michaelnugara1]

Agreed on those hoses. They should've enclosed everything within that box.

[@NathanKingOverland]

Seriously! If I bought one, I’d change that or at least protect them.

[@dickinaroundoutdoors8609]

Thanks for the review-one that I have had my eye on but honestly I am not rally leaning toward a trailer any more-but I do think the Off-Grid are on the top of the heap.

[@NathanKingOverland]

Thanks! Off Grid is definitely top notch. Have you seen Mission Overland. I want to get my paws on the Summit model and check that one out.

[@dickinaroundoutdoors8609]

@@NathanKingOverland I just looked up the Mission-very sweet set up. I think I have landed on either staying with the tent (and we actually sleep mostly in the vehicle) or moving to a slide in that will really up the game and be all weather. Just hard to make that jump.

[@NathanKingOverland]

@@dickinaroundoutdoors8609 I hear you. I still love my tents and my swag. The trailer is tally something that sweetens the deal for Mrs. King Overland. And I travel to say, it was really nice to jump into a heated camper in the snow and freezing weather in Pennsylvania.

[@utahjohnnymontana3373]

They look really nice. All the comforts of home, so to speak. As you said, it all depends on how much you expect to use it whether to buy or rent.

[@NathanKingOverland]

Yes indeed. But now that I’ve seen how the process works, one way to offset the cost of ownership would be to make it available for rent on @outdoorsy. Thanks for watching!

[@utahjohnnymontana3373]

@@NathanKingOverland Not a bad plan at all. I like it.

[@NathanKingOverland]

@@utahjohnnymontana3373 Yep. The tough part is wrapping your head around the idea of schmucks like me renting your camper and taking it to God knows where. 😂

[@NathanKingOverland]

It is a thing of beauty, sir. Thanks for watching.

[@BirdPhish]

I have an Expedition 2.0 for 3 years now.....it's up for sale.

[@NathanKingOverland]

Hey. I want to ask you a few things about your Expedition. Are you on Instagram? You could DM me there.

[@betobeto7903]

Great video thanks! So did you find a different trailer that beats the quality of this one?

[@NathanKingOverland]

Not yet! That thing is a beast. I’ve been to look at a few but they just don’t compare to this one. I’m really hoping to try out a Mission Overland Summit in the near future.

[@johnmaurer3670]

Nathan, great video! We have one on order and I’m preparing my 2021 4Runner TRD, did you think it needed trailer brakes and maybe airbags for the rear suspension? Your thoughts on towing it with your 4Runner?

[@NathanKingOverland]

Hey John. Thanks for watching. Trailer brakes are a must. I installed a RedArc brake controller shortly before my trip. And yes, I think the airbags would be a great enhancement for the rear suspension. I’m planning to get those installed on my 4Runner soon. Overall, the 4Runner towed it well, even with a full tank of water. But I don’t think I would tow anything heavier than that.

[@johnmaurer3670]

@@NathanKingOverland Thank you sir, we have the RedArc controller (just need to install) and will look into the airbags!

[@NathanKingOverland]

@@johnmaurer3670 You bet. That RedArc brake controller is easy to install. Even I could do it. 😁 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqCsfqeqftaAndk

[@xbpbat21x]

I was looking at these guys...It was to heavy and to wide, but they seemed to be reasonably priced and a professional outfit. Not for nothing, but: At the rear of the vehicle it's a departure angle.😉

[@NathanKingOverland]

Yes. Departure angle. I caught that during editing. I meant to correct it onscreen. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thanks for watching!

[@jairrodriguez4430]

Hi, for a Subaru outback 2024(towing capacity 3500lb) which option would be the best? Thanks

[@NathanKingOverland]

Hey! Thanks for watching. I think this specific trailer fully kid it out would be on the heavy side for a Subaru outback. However, if you rented one without the rooftop tent and waited until you got to, or near your destination to fill up the water tank, the Subaru outback might be able to do it, but if you’re talking about just renting a camping trailer in general, there are very cool options for In addition to this specific trailer on Outdoorsy. The next time I rent one, I plan to find one in the area I am traveling to, and just use it there rather than rent one in my area and then trailer it all the way across the country to the location where I want to camp.

[@traviswalker007]

for the price you paid why did you not get the GEO pro15? seems that one is more of deal on standard options?

[@NathanKingOverland]

I rented this one. I don’t own it. Check out the Outdoorsy app.

[@garethleaney888]

Great video. I’m over in the UK and and have a few options over here. May I ask you what the retail price is of that particular trailer

[@NathanKingOverland]

Thanks! The starting price on those is $32,000 USD

[@ryantilley-general.shenanigans]

That Bluetooth control placement sure is strange..... It looks like a great 3 season camper, but I imagine in summer you'd be reaching for the Oztent for a bit of airflow.

[@NathanKingOverland]

Well, It's got a vented roof with a ceiling fan. With the windows cracked and the fan buzzing away, I bet it would cool off nicely inside. But what do you mean 3 seasons? Florida only has 2---Summer and Hurricane Season. And they overlap! Thanks for watching, Ryan!

[@ryantilley-general.shenanigans]

@@NathanKingOverland be sure to peg down your camper in hurricane season.

[@NathanKingOverland]

@@ryantilley-general.shenanigans Good call.

[@wesbarcus3761]

As an old ironworker I would like to know, how does the inside stay warm? Steel and aluminum, being metal, will radiate both heat in the summer and cold in the winter. Is there a separation panel in the construction that prevents temperature transfer?

[@NathanKingOverland]

Hey Wes! Good question. There’s a layer of insulation between the outer and inner sheets of metal. It got warm and stayed warm when I used it in the cold.

[@wesbarcus3761]

@@NathanKingOverland thanks for the response.

[@bryanjohnston4907]

Is it worth owning? Or rent as needed? I like it .my wallet doesn't like it.. I would build it myself. Good job.

[@NathanKingOverland]

I think the answer depends how much you would use it. I would say rent it and try it out. Thanks for watching, Bryan.

not going to take 10 minute to show the shower awning. why did your lazy ass make this video. purple drank must be the drink. later

Can a air conditioner be installed?

[@NathanKingOverland]

I am sure it could be done, but I don’t believe it’s an option from the factory.

There is nothing wrong with wood broduction brother. There is just good and bad broduction methods.

[@ExpeditionOverlanding]

Excellent walk through. I absolutely love my trailer and highly recommend OGT as their customer service is excellent! I have a similar walk through of mine if you're interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZKYcpd3m6abbsU. Couple things to note: It's best practice to disconnect the hose from the propane tank while in transit (fire department will thank you), which gets it out of the way based on where you place it. I use the under sink bucket catch method too, but only so I can keep track of how much water I'm using. Otherwise, you could attach a hose to snake the drain water away from camp. I don't have the advanced Max Fan (I have the standard model without remote), so I don't know if you can manually raise the lid or not, but when camping in the rain, I don't raise it all the way up which helps keep the rain out. As of yet, I've had no rain entering the cabin.

[@NathanKingOverland]

Cool! I’ll check it out!

[@joeoloughlin409]

How many miles in bulldust. Doesn't look like it go off road hot water system would fall apart in aussi. REALY GUYS HOW FAR AWAY FROM FAST FOOD ARE YOU
