Testing the Conquerer UEV490 Platinum in the Ouachita National Forest

[@thelazyoverlander]

You guys were so much more relaxed in this one and it shows.... more of these please.

[@LeaRama]

Hi Oakley! He is just too stinkin' CUTE!

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

😊 thank you

[@riceburnr2005]

I’m literally eating steak, shrimp, and fried rice right now while watching this.

[@AndrewTurner251]

Enjoyed the video the “tank” content is great so glad to the conqueror added to these videos.

[@Matsterious]

Can't wait to see more camping with the tank.

[@sonnicman]

Those short trips are always hard, because you wish they lasted longer. However you guys had fun with the time that you had. It was great to see Oakley out and about!

[@randymaggard8694]

The tank will be a great home for you guys. Awesome setup! Congrats!

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Thanks! We love it.

[@navychhaingvoeun3189]

Nice place to camp enjoy your dog very cutie

[@markbabcock40205]

You guys have great video skills. Driving too, great place to turn around!

[@BM-dt8ed]

Awesome setup! Thanks for sharing!

[@folksyoverlanding]

The tank is insane Matt super awesome 😎

[@dennisdollins4003]

Another GREAT video. Thanks guys for sharing.

Love the rig your driving and the tank, Keep up the great job with the videos.

OMG!1Your puppy is sooooo cute!!!!

[@livinthelife6056]

Rules of engagement 🤣

[@rsisente]

Pollard Creek Trail up to Hickory Nut Mountain Vista would be a good test for the tank. Great video. Can you please tell me what drone you use? Thank you

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Thanks! I use the Mavic Air2s

[@WilliamEnnis4380]

Dinner looked yummy. Really liked the skriddle (sp), was it hard to clean those corners?

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Not hard at all. I love it.

[@mneptune1]

Great test run, lookin forward to the Cold Water Run…. PS: When are you going to fix your wind screen????

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

I will fix the windshield when it gets worse. Replacing it would be a pain in the butt with the light bar and snorkel.

[@mneptune1]

@@OzarkOverlandAdventures yeah, all the other mods would make replacing the windshield a PIA but damn, looking at those little spider webs every time I got behind the wheel would drive me nuts……

Ever drove across the Poteau Mountain ridge from north of Waldron ,Arkansas to Harrford, Arkansas then to Heavener , Oklahoma. Northern edge of the Ouachita National Forest? It rises 2665ft above sea level near Hartford, Arkansas. Not sure of the roads on the Oklahoma side but on the Arkansas side is 20+ miles of fire road on top the ridge. Overlooked area of the Ouachitas but a beautiful place.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

I've heard of it but never been there. Sounds like I need to.

[@aikidragonpiper71]

@@OzarkOverlandAdventures I'm in Mansfield,Arkansas, just a few miles north of Poteau Mountain and there is another Sugarloaf Mountain just north Poteau Mountain. Course I know there is another Sugarloaf Mountain in the Ozarks. But this Sugarloaf is half in Arkansas and half in Oklahoma. There is a road across this Sugarloaf Mountain but last I heard the road on top of that one has been washed out due to heavy rain. Sad because this Sugarloaf has a great lookoff on top. But this Sugarloaf is just north of the Ouachita's and considered the southern edge of the River Valley and has some private property but they never stopped people from driving the road across it . But i don't know if the road on it is shut down or not because the rain washed out road. But the Poteau mountain Ridge is fully In the Ouachita national forest.

[@BakerOverland]

Hey Matt, I'm thinking about purchasing a 490. Curious how you handle showers. Do you discuss this in another video?

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

We show it in one of our Big Bend videos. We added a shower enclosure off the back and I replaced the shower hose with a longer one to reach.

[@perkinsgalen]

Hey guys! I’m a birder and interested in observing and photographing the black geese at 18:20. Any idea whereabouts that pond was?

[@juliamichas]

Love those lights! Where did you get them? Thanks!

[@michaelmcnulty2926]

Hey Matt and Cara, haven't heard much about your conqueror lately. Was just wondering how life with that beast is going. I bought one as well, and love it, but experiencing some issues with the top canvas and such. Have you upgraded the batteries or power system yet? Any hints on yours would be greatly appreciated. Enjoy living the dream.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

The Conqueror is great but we don't use it much anymore and will be selling it soon. It's not ideal to pull with a Gladiator that's already loaded down. I did swap out the batteries with a couple 100ah lithium batteries and that made a huge difference.

[@RSG67]

Where did you get the scriddle? Looks cool

[@SPARTAN-107]

Wish I could glamp that good

[@markperritte]

How long does it take to setup the camper

[@TheJessesmartin]

Do you guys still like the 490? We’re interested in buying one soon for a family of 5

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Oh yeah we still love it!!

[@CJLane-62]

Not doing dishes when it's cold out? Dem Grounds for a Divorce! But I would be stocking up on a bunch of paper plates and you can get rid of them in a fire pit!😎😎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@karlanderson1791]

That may be our next camper. How much did your 5:29 gears help in towing?

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

a LOT!!! Major difference.

[@c3nixon]

How long does it take you to fully deploy/setup?

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Not long. Just pop up the top and open the front. If you want to add the walls to the awnings that takes about 10 minutes.

[@chriskurki1713]

Love your dog...he's so adorable. What breed is he?

[@tamimahmed1169]

Does jeep wrangler ever had issue towing UEV-490 and you felt you need bigger truck?

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

The 490 is more than the Wrangler can tow.

[@j.r.777]

I am looking at buying a UEV-490 Platinum pretty soon. I have a 2021 JL Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon with the 3.6 liter eTorque V-6 and 8 speed automatic transmission. Do you think my JLUR will tow one of these fully loaded okay? Ironically, I also live in Colorado so there are tons of places that I want to explore. I grew up in Southern California and have been around off roading all of my life and camping off grid but I always did everything previously in trucks and just roughed it in them. Now that I’m older, I still want to go off grid but want a few niceties when I go to those places thus the UEV. Thank you.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Don’t do it. A fully loaded 490 will be well above the JKU’s towing capacity. Either get a smaller trailer or a Gladiator.

[@j.r.777]

@@OzarkOverlandAdventures , if the Gladiator has the same engine as my JLUR then how is its towing different?

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

@@j.r.777 wheelbase, wider axles, suspension all make a major difference. My JT Rubicon has a towing rating of 7000lbs. The JLU is only 3500. The conqueror fully loaded can exceed 4000lbs. Not safe to pull in a JLU.

[@j.r.777]

@@OzarkOverlandAdventures, okay I see now. Thank you.

[@andrewmurray1317]

DO you still have the 490? I am in the middle of deciding whether to get one and I'm looking for first hand experience

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Oh yeah. We love it!! We used it in June at the Big Iron Overland Rally. It will be our full time home in 3 years so we don't take it on long adventures yet because gas prices. lol

Thank you.

[@Spdrcerjt-f4m]

How long does it take to setup and pack up?

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

I can have the top up, front bed out, and awnings out in 5 minutes. If I use the awning walls a little longer. It’s not bad at all.

[@Spdrcerjt-f4m]

@@OzarkOverlandAdventures thanks. I am glad to get another take on that. Sounds setup is fast. Does pack up take a long time? There is another KZbinr that sold his because he said it took too much time to pack up for his liking. I have to imagine that the majority of the time one is not putting the walls up.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

@@Spdrcerjt-f4m pack up takes a little longer just because you’re making sure all the fabric is tucked in well so it’s not sticking out and causing leaks. But it’s really an easy process. What I love about it is if you’re traveling somewhere and just need a place to sleep for the night, you don’t even have to set it up at all. Just sleep on the lower section and there is zero setup time other than making your bed.

[@paraengr0770]

Is your Rubicon a diesel?

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Nope. 3.6 gas

[@jareth7456]

You should rig a flange for a stovepipe for the awning for when you convert it into a yurt with the side walls for winter outings ...you know like huntin season. What I'm dying to know is how rough of terrain this camper can endure.....nothing reveals quality like a torture test ....they do it for everything from firearms to knives and even jeeps See if the company that makes this trailer would entertain a torture test ....then hook it up to a really tricked out jeep and take it up oh shit trail . Trust me on this one....this is what gets you more and higher ratings

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

We have a propane fire pit for that. I'm not pulling a 4000lb trailer that's going to be my home in 3 years on oh shit trail. We've had it off road in the Ozarks and in Michigan on some good trails and it did great. That's all I need to know.

[@BongoBrains11]

Doing dishes based on temp is a bit strange as a ‘Wedding Vow’…. Just enjoy your journey and enjoy what you have to feel gratitude.
