The MOST Capable 6x12 Camper Trailer I’ve Ever Seen! EPIK Scout Lightweight (Fits in Garage)

[@PaulFrew]

This is awesome! Not everyone wants a traditional pop-up tent trailer, which yes, has more space…but this thing is ready in seconds when you arrive, and you can actually bring some stuff along with you inside the camper. Very cool!

[@JohnnyDailey-cd8pj]

12:25pm. Great trailer and presentation. Went straight to the website after watching. Scout starts at 51K?! Asked why 51K starting when 4 month old KZbin video stated starting at 36K and 45K for featured model. Got an automated reply not answering question at all. Am going to call them direct. I like this trailer. I just hope they don't fall into the same fiasco OverKill did.

[@mattdelcomyn8012]

Marissa is a great presenter. Thanks for the tour!

[@thebandthatisDAVE]

Stunning! Can’t wait to see the bathroom version.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

[@erikvaldur3334]

That is one of the smartest most beautiful small travel trailers I've seen

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Great

[@accentedwanderer8623]

Wow. But starting at 52,000 now, I think I’ll go for airstream now with the new price.

[@i2ambler2002]

You see, this is for the 'overlanding' crowd who will throw money at the latest gear without much thought. As long as it was made for OFFROADING, they are in. These are the people graduating from a 10 grand rooftop tent that they never deploy.

[@donaldmiller9130]

I'm new to this KZbin channel, but have been researching similar offroad campers for some time. I appreciate all the thoughtful comments posted to date; here are some that haven't been mentioned yet: I, too, had the innovative Overkill SO 5.10 on my shortlist (along with the Mission Overland, etc.). Sad to hear of their business failure and fallout. Yes, for this price, a non-fabric top would extend both this trailer's usefulness and comfort. I note their website now includes photos of a bigger/heavier model with solid pop-up walls. Nothing's been mentioned about the weather tightness/durability of the manual slideout and its seals against rain/wind intrusion. If bears can rip open steel car doors and trunks, even a heavy metal screen isn't "bear-proof," but it's the best I've seen to date. Soundproofing sheets, applied to those noisy cabinet doors, should dampen metallic resonance -- but where are all the dust gaskets on the rear cabinet doors? Those Baja Designs exterior work lights are great -- until they're torn off by passing tree branches; such fixtures need to be smooth-edged to preserve them. Lastly, a $10K price cut would put this class of trailers into the realm of possibility for me, and most other potential buyers.... Best wishes on the channel!

[@audreyrv3253]

I agree with all you said. :) No one can make the perfect camper, but attention to all the little details does change buyers minds. Anyone have some hacks?

[@pierredaigneault5615]

Bears have learned to open car doors using the handle (search youtube), they don't dammage the door or their manucured claws anymore LOL

[@andyb921]

The quality and detail you've put into these is worth what you're charging, and all the small things you've added are amazing! So good you guys!

[@donnamanitu8673]

So nice to get a price instead of "see the link below for our website".

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Happy You Got what you wanted

except the price increased by 44%, it's now 52k STARTING.

52k? 😂😂😂 Yeah….I’m out!!

[@SeclipseR]

It's a shame that they increased the price like that, other money hungry company if that's acurate.

[@EagleArrow]

I like the manual features. We were looking for something like this 8 years ago to camp with our kids, small but functional with options. Love the awning.

[@dmc2087]

Did you notice that when the awning was set up that there was a large gap over the door and if raining with the door open water will be running down , that's my only dislike about a setup like this.

[@ThePontusjacobson]

This us the same company as overkill campers who stole over 1 000 000 $ from there costumers in 2020 - 2022

[@EagleArrow]

@@ThePontusjacobson Can you elaborate better?

[@pierredaigneault5615]

@@dmc2087 A regular square awning over the door side would be sufficient and cover the door. Because the rear hatch covers the back side, the batwing awning is not really required. There would be a 90 degrees space open turning the corner but a small tarp could cover that or part of it if you really want full 2 sided coverage.

[@matthoward1174]

REALLY great design and layout ! A great and well explained presentation as well !

[@stevelovescars]

That is an amazing trailer. The price does reflect the quality and materials… you can’t even compare it to the stick and tin trailers. They do have their place, for light use and occasional camping. This rig looks like it’s ready for an around the world excursion.

[@ThePontusjacobson]

This is the same company as overkill camper who stole over 1 000 000 from costumers back in 2020 - 2022

[@hamiltonquintana9607]

Very knowledgeable, exactly what everyone is looking for a sales person that knows there product

[@fallbrkgrl]

I like the size, and versatility. I could work around the fact that the shower is outside, and would like a cassette toilet to use inside. Access to water on the inside would be nice. Price is a bit much for me. Another great option/review! Thanks Patrick.

[@dmc2087]

nice trailer for only summer camping really

[@pierredaigneault5615]

There are approx.2,5 gallons portable cassette toilets with built-in water tank now on the market. They are 3 stacked parts : Bowl, water tank, detachable cassette.

[@jerryclleung]

This is the Overkill trailer!!! I love that trailer, but there has been so much drama and legal issues with that company!

[@RobertHiggins-gv5jc]

Truly appreciate the quality of this unit...very well laid out I will be looking into this this weekend... thanks for a great sales person very well done..

[@erickaesman4001]

I received one of the last Overkill 5.10SO trailers off the line before the owner took deposits on new trailers and mid production run trailer builds and closed the doors before joining Epik design team. The pending customers in the queue lost 1000s of dollars. And no warranty work on existing trailers. Beware this 'new' production run before the 'bugs' are worked out. Anyone notice no spare tire for the trailer? I guess you have to put it in the tow vehicle.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Good question about the spare tire.

[@TheBeingReal]

@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventuresBetter question about their business history: scam.

[@johnowens8530]

Great design. So sad they lost most people’s trust. They could easily get it back by guaranteeing they are giving a certain percentage of each new sale to the customers who lost money on the overkill purchases. Until they do this there is no way I will trust them.

[@freedomdove]

Looks like a great weekender, if you can afford it. 👍

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Absolutely

[@RevLeonPLeon]

Marissa is excellent at this. I'd buy this in a heartbeat.

[@TheBeingReal]

Look up Overkill campers. Same people.

[@jlw4048]

$45,000 and no bathroom, no thanks. Popups are cold in the cooler months and impossible to cool in the summer. Very nice review by a sweet young lady. Thanks for the variety in your videos Patrick!!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks for watching!

[@stevenwilson2292]

You should probably stay in a hotel then pansy.

[@raymondclark1785]

You don't need the pop up up to sleep so it would be easier to keep warm or cool. A bigger problem is ROA is selling a similar MDC Forte9 for less

[@shanemb3]

It's not a pop up. Think of it as headroom. It's more of a square drop, but with the roll out and other features it really is the Cadillac of square drops.

[@Riso-Musik]

Very clever design. I'm impressed

[@johnomahony7364]

This camper is really well designed. They fit alot of stuff into a little package. And the all terrain tires and articulating hitch..really nice.

[@nateisright]

I really like this trailer! Reminds me of the Overkill SO5.10. It’s got me thinking about the longer one with a wet bath. Thanks for posting this, Patrick.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Pretty cool build

[@zachlipschutz9443]

It looks almost exactly like the same build.

[@lkevincurry]

It was the S.O. 510. Overkill sold out.

[@jameswilliams1118]

Overkill went under so they probably sold like some of the design rights and they went under because of some shady stuff they were doing like no giving back money upon request and just a whole bunch of other stuff

[@bpersons14]

Follow the expedition portal thread on over kill, looks like this is also a shady money grab

[@tjm5492]

Pricey but very well thought through, especially the canopy.

[@ptinatlanta6815]

Late to the party but this is a very well built portable camper. I have owned a wood based on and this one will last a lot longer.

Thanks 👍

[@Jpeterson7]

What a great design. Bravo!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

So nice to hear

[@rachelhughes8951]

It will be interesting to watch but at the end of the day it is $36,000 for a loud (in the wind) pop-up tent. Wish it used the new hard sided pop-up tent design.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

The hard side of pop tub is definitely an interesting concept. I would love to see it more widely available.

[@jmpattillo]

Same problem with the TAXA trailers. Extremely high quality but very expensive for a soft-sided pop-up.

[@screammachineman]

its now starting at $51,800

[@danielbuchanan5327]

You get a kitchen, shower, food storage, multiple places to sleep, including the pop up tent for $36k.. and it’s not going to be windy every single time you go camping 🙃

[@ChrisDavis333]

It’s unfortunate that so many people are interested in these, otherwise the manufacturers wouldn’t be charging insane prices. The prices never make sense on things like this, they’re almost always 2x what the market says they should cost. You could get a fully furnished 2 bedroom trailer for what these manufacturers want for a tiny caravan or a slide in camper etc. Make it make sense… 1/4 of the trailer for 100% of the price. I hate it. It’s just like car manufacturers, with their 100k trucks that nobody buys and all the dealerships had to go purchase off-site lots to store all the 100k trucks that nobody is buying, letting them rot to the elements, dust, dirt, debris, leaves, pollen, etc they have to bring a charger or a new battery anytime they go to the lot because all the batteries are completely toast because they’ve sat for so long.

[@1safety4all]

[@FranciscoOmarOcampoalcantar]

How nice you showed yourself 😎💯👍✌️

[@abelfierro5821]

I like everything about this camper. I have one suggestion: a solid wall pop up. 👍

[@nightfall22]

I’ll take a peak at the website… they said they’re working on a bigger model so I’m taking it that’s going to be Insanely more expensive… I wish the small version had a ac for the roof and a cassette toilet. I’d love for it to be geared for one or 2 people vs 500 in a tiny space. But I can see this being very good for a family that doesn’t want to tow something big but it doesn’t fit my needs… now I just gotta say, am I the only one that loved seeing that old dodge pull this trailer? 😁🤤… great presentation though. I dig this channel. Always bringing interesting things to view. I stand corrected. I just oooked at the website and the scout starts at $51k…. Not 36k like she said and the bigger one is $67k start point. Yeah that’s crazy. But maybe it will work for someone

[@franklyterrence4860]

Wow. They have of everything. I could see myself buying this one.

[@jimhackney4727]

This video premiered in Jan 2024 and 2 months later the base price went from $36K to $51K. That's BS.

[@cloverlawson4993]

That's too bad and not cool😢

[@landminehopscotch3617]

I guessed it would be around 38k. The fact that they hiked the price up I wouldn’t even consider buying from a company that zero scruples. I could only imagine what a nightmare it would be to deal with them if something broke while still under warranty.

[@asphaltmilkshake4596]

These rugged little campers are cool. I especially love the slide out exterior camp kitchens. That being said, no way I'm paying more than my truck cost brand new for a trailer that's had a bunch of potential leak points added to it with unnecessary pop up/outs, has a smaller bed than most and has no toilet/shower (real shower).

[@erickaesman4001]

Right on!. If you are going to show case your new camper build maybe have a newer and cleaner tow vehicle. This looks like it belongs parked on the streets of San Francisco. Also maybe at least wipe down the trailer before filming to remove the road dirt accumulated on the drive to the shoot location. Amateur hour.

[@zachlipschutz9443]

​@erickaesman4001 I think the dirt is fine. Shows it's actually used.

[@peterrowan9951]

We recently discovered the Epik Scout. My husband and I are absolutely in love with it! Quick question -- does anyone know, when Marissa mentioned the other model with a kitchenette and toilet, was she referring to the Ranger, or are they designing a third model?

[@FlipTopTopper]

Well thought out camper! The pop top gives you the camping experience, but you can still keep it closed if needed. Plus, my dog doesn’t poop where he sleeps so why would we…the toilet tent makes sense! 😂

Nice trailer. Wouldn't it make more since to turn the stove and the drawer to open to the back to integrate with the back storage area. I suspect the draw needs to be to the forward side because of the 45 deg. cut on the back of the trailer but that could be fixed with the slide.

Wonder if it will be cheaper price if it's without outside kitchen and pull out fridge. As camping in northern climate, i prefer everything inside. If i want to cook outside, i use a portable stove. All those pull outs and rear stuff takes a lot of living space.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

I’m sure they have different options available at different price points it’s definitely worth chatting with them about

A fine true off road trailer built in the Australian tradition - which is fine for the Australian outback. However, sandstorms, wind driven rain and extreme temperatures will make this a fair weather camper in my world. The roof top tent doesn't have a rain-fly - which would be a problem with the "bunk bed" so close to the single layer un-insulated tent.

In the pullout kitchen, wouldn't it make a hell of a lot more sense to have the stove and the drawer flipped to face the rear, since that would make it a lot easier to move stuff from the prep surface and the rest of the rear storage? I also thought the mattress and pads looked a little thin to be comfortable (which would certainly be pretty easy for a buyer to solve on their own if they agreed). Other than those quibbles, this looks like an absolutely amazing product!
