Sorry to be so off topic but does someone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost my login password. I love any tricks you can give me!

After watching this video some 6 years ago and doing some more research I decided to go with a Hiker Trailer. I've owned mine since Fall 2018 and have never regretted the decision. After years of tent camping (including some not so comfy deployments with the Army) the Hiker Trailer has brought back the fun to going camping. Thank you for the review you shared 6 years ago.

[@swashbucklingadventures9929]

Just an FYI for everyone. These start at 2895.00 so if you're not looking for all the glam and are ok with the basics to start, these are awesome! Me personally, I look at it as a step up from tent camping. It's for basic sleeping and I can add what I need as I go. Plain and simple ✌

[@harismalik3034]

prices went up i guess, they’re listed for 3,700 now

[@kalikasurf]

@@harismalik3034 they’ve gone up more…… 6k to 8k for the basic… 11k to 12k for the top model

[@adamant7146]

i love all the comments from those who can't afford one...don't be jealous..it's his money and he can spend it on what he wants...when u start paying for it then u have a say so on how much he spends....this looks good and functionable and for those who say he should have went with the runaway, they look like garbage...

[@harvbegal6868]

The fully decked out ones are crazy. But for around $6000 for a sleeping are that us better than a tent its not bad. Hiker trailer is for more affordable than most tear drops out there.

[@wat3rdog25]

Thanks for showing how it fits at 6'4" tall. Some units just aren't built with tall in mind.

[@athena_the_hun1097]

Good review. Thank you for sharing and taking the time to put this out there. Hope you ignore the price comments and enjoy the purchase you made.

[@lonestarlindy5725]

Hiker Trailer is the best value out there. 9K is a steal; check out competitor rates - they're astronomical. I can see getting one of these. Great post!

[@craftsoda]

only if you only look in the overpriced teardrop space. That said, I don't blame them for separating the fools from their money. and this one doesn't even have the cuteness factor to fall back on, its a box trailer with two closets and a pickup tool bin.

[@vinnyha5793]

it’s fit my profile... looking forward to get it, i’m between roof tent and this trailer....

[@fradaw6013]

I love this little thing.

[@matthewlockhart7559]

You can buy a Runaway camper for about $5000! Even less depending on options.

[@1966spyderco]

Getting one next month. The video helped alot

[@jasonjackson7293]

This one is still going strong after all these years.

[@paulalerose1546]

I would love to see the walls for the awning. I live i the pacific northwest and the rain here is crazy. an awning isn't enough

[@alicehallam7949]

If this is correct as I understand it the solar does not need any hook-up. I don't understand solar, never dealt with wiring. This would be an incredible feature to have.

[@mamalovesthebeach437]

Thanks for the weight. I have a 2018 OB 3.6 so thrilled I can pull this model!

[@peterholt3003]

Greetings from Blighty. Wow a toptastic presentation your ace hiker trailer. Thank you for the inspiration. You guys over the pond, have some quality gear to get outdoors with, compared to the limited trivia we have here in Blighty.

[@a1xavier]

i have the 6x8 runaway, it is far less in price and comes with an ac unit. im not putting down your choice in going small like most other comments, as mine suits my needs. i can pull it with my utv, or my jeep and my wife can push it in and out of the garage. i do think it way over priced, but hey its your money and if you want it buy it. as far as all of the negative comments out there, if your so worried about where your gonna poop or how your gonna shower, than you have no business leaving the comforts of your home. just netflix and chill!

[@IceAge20017]

Anyone else looking to live in this because rent is unaffordable?

[@scottyo64]

No follow up? I would sure like to know how you like it 3 years later or if you got rid of it

[@tonyanderson191]

That trailer is really nice! However, I wouldn't use it in southern Louisiana during the summer....

[@alicehallam7949]

Interesting trailer, low price and attractive. 🙂

[@thomashorn9152]

There's a few people asking you about your heater, I my self would like to know what kind of heater is that a 12 volt or what?

[@unknowndirection458]

i am thinking of getting this!

[@jonkelly5562]

What is the material used for the floor / walls? Wood, Fiberglass, Aluminum?

[@brianbraastad8254]

Can I get some info on the little space heater?THX

[@556suppressor]

If I lived out west or near Yellowstone, I would buy one. Living in the humid eastern U.S. causes problems, the exception being Acadia National Park in Maine.

[@theoutdoordad7395]

Specifically what problems if you don’t mind explaining?

[@Patron2112]

I'm sure your a super nice guy and Im not trying to be ill willed or a hater but why would your canopy direct all the water towards the trailer?

[@xcharlie15]

Beauty! Love it.

[@paulff3]

Very cool!

[@russelldonithan2621]

It is crazy that if it for "recreation" they can charge way more than it something worth.and get it

[@MWDAdventures]

Great video Bryan. Would love to see a follow up video after a few trips of things you love and things you would have changed. I have looked at a lot of off grid teardrop style trailers and the hiker seems to be the best at letting you buy inexpensive and build it to your liking. I will pm you Bryan on Facebook I have a few more questions.

[@3321MDZ]

Was that little heater a 12v unit. I've never seen that. Can you share the mfg?

[@imgregrice]

I came to ask the same thing. Most of those smaller 12v heaters either A don't work very well at all or B take a TON of battery power.

[@RandyPollock]

If you don't have to have the solar panels...you can get a 28 foot pop up camper that weights about 3800 with two queens beds, shower, toilet, three range burner, stove, oven, microwave, a/c unit, furnace, that's about four or five years old for about 8k - what you have is a rich man's tent.

[@notacommie5415]

You can add a couple hundred watts of solar and batteries to just about anything for about $500

[@genarocastellon8030]

It would be more expensive and bigger though

[@trueblue2124]

Love it -thank you

[@papa54321]

No screen for bugs for that panel to reach the kitchen?

[@michaelgoldman8186]

Nicely done video!

[@cbr6864]

10K for more or less a tiny box the size of the bed in your truck?

[@ccb7122]

Yooo....camper shell on my pickup and I’m almost there. Waaay cheaper

[@ericj810]

This camper would save alot of gas. Ultra light for a truck. Keep the rain out aswell!

[@desertflinger11]

Great review guys. Do you know what your tongue weight is when you have it loaded??

[@seandalejackson2525]

that was cool man. thanks

[@jacobyoung6866]

Could my Honda civic pull this? Also website to find out more info.

[@davidcooper6704]

Looks to be a nice camper. Where do you store your clothes? Is there any storage under the bed?

[@RichardAmmo1]

Hmmmm, I think I like that!

[@animagix]

Have you pulled this through soft sand? We are looking at something like this for the beach. Really nice price point.

[@eldragon83]

What heater is that?

[@JESUStheATHEIST1]

How did you power the portable heater?

[@MrStratman1957]

Very cool

[@CoastalKite]

Yes, but how does the suspension hold up if you and your wife decide to, uh, play checkers?

[@akbychoice]

Do the batteries charge off the towing vehicle while driving?

[@brittneybritt3307]

Hii is this the Highway Deluxe model? Or the Mid Range Deluxe Model?

[@bjnslc]

Almost fully charged after a day of solar?

[@SortaDopeIGuess]

Need more budget and quality camper trailers like Hiker trailers! Also new sprinter vans are outrageously expensive and most are rented out and barely used by a good portion of owners bc they need to recoup the $$$$ they paid for it. No thanks.

[@Ramdodge582]

Why the hell do you need solar panels doing anything when you are driving down the road? your tow vehicle can provide almost 300 watts of charge while it's running.

[@KevinMichaelMichael]

lol, eco bling.

[@jonathanmcarthur4004]

Any info on the down blanket?

[@OutsideOnline]

The blanket is a Rumpl Down Quilt. More info here: www.gorumpl.com/

[@somemedic]

Cheaper than a Nu camp boondocker XL.

[@notacommie5415]

How about an enclosed 7x10 trailer with an air Mattress for 3500

[@yourboyjbackatit2502]

You did say 9 grand right with three O's right!! Dude thats arm robbery you. They got you my friend.

[@cjmiller1871]

Try building one and paying yourself $12 an hour. You might just opt to buy one.

[@RichardFStripeRendezvous]

@@cjmiller1871 Did it. Not that hard OR expensive.

[@Loveisthegreater]

4x8 enclosed trailer=$1500. Throw in a futon and a Coleman stove and probably whatever else you want and come out waaaaaayyy ahead financially. I did a 5x8 for $2000. Has a built-in, outdoor kitchen in the back, A/C, fan, tiny wood stove, 15 gallons of gravity fed water, & toolbox. It’s easy and fun to make it your own.

[@clicgear100]

So funny people go to the great outdoors to be on their laptop.

[@tegunn]

The point is that it shouldn't be a main feature of the trailer. They included charging ports for a computer and phone....so what? It looks like a great hot box in the Spring/Summer. But you can get AC for it...yep, now it costs more... but for what ....for $ 9000.00. Not an off road trailer, so the question is what compels me to get this versus a pop-up?..

[@AnnoyingName999]

The awning looks paper thin. Might be waterproof but would block out absolutely no heat.

[@pgreenx]

good to get the $9k out of the way first....

[@EN-ZHANRun]

我大學的時候畫了VY2的頭上長枇杷的枇杷然後隔天被別人改成耶誕樹 幹

[@arthur4818]

This would go great with a $4000.00 fishing kayak LOL !

[@1timby]

Hmm, bathroom facilities.....

[@somemedic]

Cabelas Copper River outhouse tent and the cabelas camp potty. They both fold fairly flat.

[@alicehallam7949]

I use a Luggable Loo, from Canada. Green paintbucket with handy snap on seat. At sporting goods like sprtsmn warehse 🙂

[@MountainHobbler]

$9k...dafuq?

[@KevinMichaelMichael]

It looked homemade/unfinished on the inside. That wiring harness at 2:53 lol

[@TylerDickey1]

NINE GRAND?!?!

[@OutsideOnline]

Yep, but this tester was tricked out. They start a lot lower.

[@geepuller1]

Tyler Dickey on every type of camper trailer video someone is complaining about the price! I'd love to build one but I don't think it'd work out cheap enough to justify it.

[@backwindow]

yeah, way too much. The awning is 600$... Runaway campers the way to go, cheap shell, lets you add on the 'extras' at your own cost, hiker is all about profit with these add ons.

[@carbonking53]

geepuller 1.....Yep, the self-proclaimed Bob Vila's and MacGyver's always chime in on the price and how they bought this sweet trailer off a guy on Craigslist and after a few trips to Home Depot and Walmart it was a veritable palace.

[@jonthebru]

You could find a used teardrop for less, but this one is new. Basically it is custom built. For 5 grand you can get a small empty trailer well built, insulated, with nothing in it. Little Guy's are a lot more expensive.

[@swoop-s-7680]

$9000 for a "glamper" that small???

[@terribowles5085]

I can't imagine spending $9,000 for something like this. There isn't a shower or toilet, you can't stand in it to get ready, there's no storage to speak of and you have to lay down if you want to get inside and warm up. Wow. No way.

[@RandomButtonPusher]

Please put down your drink. You'll survive 5 minutes without it. Just a hint from someone who taught presentation skills for two decades.

[@Td-zr1vy]

Oh please! If that's all you hot out of the video then step off.

[@VantasticOdyssey]

Yes 9000.00 is too much

[@bosse641]

Way too much. ...it`s a rip-off.

[@alexiefernandez1167]

And the thing is, it's the cheapest I have found. Others start at $15k for their basic. I've seen them go up to $45k. This is the best. Also remember, this guy chose to add many features to it. Bringing the price up to $9000. The basic one is around $3200. And it's amazing.

[@davidr4332]

go buy a box trailer and sleep in that then .

[@bradsloop5116]

9k....I can buy a year old 25 to 31 ft with slide outs for that if not less. and have a ac, shower, and toilet. you got more money than sense.

[@paulalerose1546]

but if you have a small car you don't need to upgrade to a truck. and you can park it in your garage

[@overland8081]

And you can't take it offroad to get away from all the other people in their 31 foot rv.

[@somemedic]

@@overland8081 ....who are generally loud, drunk, and inconsiderate. I'd rather pay $15k for a new teardrop and get 16mpg in my Tundra and haul that thing off the beaten path.

[@overland8081]

somemedic hell yeah I'm with you.not sure how the 4wd Tacoma with the 2.7 will do but I'm thinking about building my own.ive worked in the rv industry and think I can make it happen.

[@RichardFStripeRendezvous]

Who spends 9k on a trailer that tiny when they already have a camper shell pickup bed that's twice the size?

[@robertjackson4121]

A harbor freight trailer 10 sheets plywood and Windows oh yeah couple Harbor freight rolling tool $100 ea boxes and a alum cross box $150 and Harbor freight gen set $400 and solar kit $300. What $1500 oh yea no crapper no stove no refer for $9k wtf. Must be Google stockholder who goes camping once a year can rent a motor home camper world for ten years lol

[@antonjohndell1519]

Next time you do a review,......Put Your Drink, Down!

[@SuSpicious9748]

Runaway campers cost less and can be outfitted to be overland.

[@genevievedansante6273]

I think it's so funny that nobody talks about how to use the potty.

[@craftsoda]

because it doesn't have one!

[@genevievedansante6273]

Exactly! So many of these hi-tech trailers make no provision for a basic human function! As if we just don't DO that sort of thing. Ludicrous!

[@heatism]

isn't 'van life' for people who want to avoid paying rent/mortgages and live off the van? so that's why they have to go to work in it? defeats the purpose if you park your van in your garage of your nice house that you gotta pay for....with that said, i love to go on weekend trips with this

[@matthewschiebout9081]

No A/C!

[@Td-zr1vy]

The ac is option

[@davislong9476]

You could buy a regular trailer and build one for 2500 maybe 3000 total and have twice as much room sounds like a shitty deal to me... .........

[@unacamper9123]

Go Tent.......save $8500.00

[@Whiteknuckler57]

Sorry - it's an rv queen

[@kennkid9912]

$9000!!!!Quee n size is 60 by 80....Its not .Buy a decent used cargo trailer and go from there...

[@jimmymiller4166]

$10K. ? LOL 🤣

[@beauberry6226]

you got ripped off!!! $9000 for this?? you could have bought a 5x8 cargo trailer for $1500-$2000 and convert it the way you want for $2K-$3K more. crazy, sorry for the size and what you got. not worth it.

[@bguen1234]

Spending 9 grand on that is just silly.

[@jeffreybadillo114]

Where can I find one?
