5,300 Mile Maiden Voyage in Our New Overland Trailer

[@John-uo1qf]

Breakfast is getting cold as the camera runs. That's commitment!

[@TrailRecon]

LOL! She was rushing me!

[@TheStoryTillNow]

The X3 is just soooo nice. I've been drooling over it for a year now. Congrats! 🙌

[@TrailRecon]

Thanks man!

[@pat9125]

Great video. We've had an X3 for a couple years and still absolutely love it. One tip for you that I noticed. You need to fully raise then lock the awning into place. The awning provides rigidity for the tent and when the tent is set up properly the door zippers work better and the rain will drain without pooling. Thank you for your content as always.

[@drested1793]

I had a pop up trailer once. I dragged that thing all over into places you never thought it would go. Sold it, bought a travel trailer. Used and abused that for 15 years. Then, I sold it and went back to a tent. None of this matters at all. For some reason I just thought I’d post as I’m getting older I’m going more primitive instead of the other way around.

[@lancesellers5368]

Simply the most enjoyable off road channel on youtube!

[@philiptait7334]

I am from the UK and have watched every one of your shows from when you first started. Great family fun, I'm also ex military so understand your lifestyle.

[@jonathannaron4596]

[@Gates54]

Good one! Great to see you and Matt together, love both of your channels.

[@peterzeller5736]

You can tell how excited Brad is by his voice

[@MetallicA29]

You guys are hurting my pocketbook with these awesome ideas! I find myself watching hours of your adventures getting ideas.

[@TrailRecon]

So glad you are enjoying the videos, just remember you don't need to spend a lot to have a memorable experience. Just figure out what you needs are along the way.

[@furious7515]

Outstanding video! I’ve been wanting an X3 for a few years. By far, this is the best “real world” review I’ve seen so far. Looking forward to seeing more adventures in your X3!

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you! We really got to know it on this trip and there are few small things we'll be tweaking with our setup and gear storage next time. More adventures to come!

[@hughwolfe1176]

Hello Brad & Regina, We’ll as some have already said it’s an expensive undertaking. However, you’ll get a lot of use out of it because this is what you do… I’m a landscape photographer thus I have some expensive camera equipment. Yes an iPhone takes photos, but I can do it a lot better. It’s what I do… If I was in a situation where I traveled full time and lived on the road this would be perfect. In fact I’d love to have a setup such as yours, Jeep 392 X3 trailer the whole shebang… Brad I know you love your coffee. I’ve recently started BP medication thus I’ve avoided coffee for a month. This morning I made myself a pot but I’m limiting myself to a single cup a day. After a month without that single cup tastes so good… Safe travels and enjoy that new trailer

[@stevepoland1406]

Thanks Brad and Regina! I've been looking at the X3 online but seeing this I really want one now. Love the hot water and all the storage space. Another awesome video.

[@ahmednesbitte4906]

Hi Brad and Regina. You have an amazing camp trailer. I’m very happy for you both. I know you’ll have amazing times with your new camper and I’m looking forward to you sharing your experiences with your X3 Patriot Camper. 😊

[@trynsurviven2440]

Awesome trailer indeed and it was really cool to see the collab. Loved the backdrop of the overnight camp. The Ozarks have some beautiful views.

[@ron343]

Nice rig Brad glad to see you living your dream.

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you, we are blessed to be able to travel to these places for sure.

[@metalurgicaburgmman9634]

Olá sou Brasileiro e ficaria muito feliz se me ajudar com os detalhes do teu projeto sou engenheiro mecânico e vou construir o meu próprio trailer, um grande abraço

[@markbarnes]

Two of my favorite channels in one video! Love it

[@TrailRecon]

Always great hanging out with Matt!

[@DGJ96]

The subtle yup when your wife said 'you could cook more' .. priceless

[@anthonylee2099]

Brad, the X3 is off the Hook! Congratulations on getting it, Thks for the real time/uses tour.

[@sonnicman]

Great review of the X3 Brad. With Regina now joining you, it was the right time to upgrade. And you know what they say, happy wife is a happy life.

[@Nachovalenti899]

This new trailer, that awesome place to camp, the beautiful Jeep, Regina always great, and you Brad, enjoying the adventure. Outstanding video and many thanks for sharing.

[@rxmonkey5946]

Love the adventure videos! It’s good to see you make it to the Midwest.

[@TrailRecon]

We are making plans to head out there again, I need to explore more of the Ozark!

[@hughwolfe1176]

Hello Brad & Regina, Yes that’s an expensive trailer, but it’s what you do… I’ve got some expensive camera equipment because that’s what I do. I’d love to have a set up such as yours, especially if I traveled/lived full time on the road… Safe travels and enjoy that new trailer

[@christophertoberman7979]

Loving the music this video. Thanks for the Adventure!

[@jameswolford7188]

Thank you Brad and Regina for sharing your initial experience with the new X3. I sold my 2018 X1GT after 3 1/2 years and bought the X3 in April. Recently my wife Maureen and I attended the Keweenaw Overland Adventure Retreat in upper Michigan and had heavy rain and wind 3 0f the 4 days, and the X3 was a much improved experience over the X1GT. love this new X3

[@DDMSteveB]

This trailer is so cool! Your original patriot is what pushed me into looking for a small off road trailer for our own adventures. We ended up with a Bean Trailer and it’s been the best choice for us! Tons of great memories for our small family. Love the videos. Thanks for sharing!

[@mikeforster8798]

Great video!! And that trailer is the major Swiss army knife of trailers. The folks who designed it thought of everything.

[@SamanthaHAgastin]

You're making my mistake 😂 she said breakfast is ready. Honor the meal and take a break right away. Have breakfast together. Pause work and enjoy the most important. You two. When you are so passionate about what you do, it takes on personal space. Love your contents.

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you! And I did put the camera down shortly after that!

[@jimlund9514]

Another excellent video from Brad & Regina.

[@regislesaint4290]

When I'll be retired this trailcamper is for me, thank U so much for your sharing 👍👍

[@emmajean920]

best jeep people always making my day seeing theses jeep in love ! with your videos great job

[@MichaelNicholsIRL]

Man I thought that’s was your Jeep that passed me in Charleston Wv a couple of days ago but the gray trailer through me off. Y’all have a good trip and have loads of fun man. 73 Brother

[@TrailRecon]

That drive through WV with the fall leaves starting to change was so beautiful!!!

[@Billrovid]

Brad a couple of tips.. there is a collapsible dish drainer works great to set right next to the sink you can store it on top of the stove. Remember to level the trailer and put the propane tanks away before driving off.

[@marloncausey392]

To quote Joker “Where does he get all those wonderful toys?” 😂

[@PinstripeJim]

I'm in Western Australia and blown away by the overland vehicles and trailers. They are everywhere. I see one or two in a weekend in SoCal. I saw about 200 in a single day.

[@rickhackley4339]

Yes it is a lot of money, but if I had the money I'd have one and traveling like this. I'm so happy that they are able to do this and share it with the rest of us. Keep the great videos coming!

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you!

[@SvetlanaEfimova-gp7fb]

Wow! Kitchen on the wheels))) Super!

[@billwaterhouse5894]

Brad, my jaw just dropped...I'm not kidding. My wife and I just got back from a 5,200 mile trip in our brand new X3, in white. To funny. PS if your battery sensor goes wacky and your Red Vision does not display battery status or charging status...I have a few tricks 😉

[@TrailRecon]

Right on, hope you guys had as much fun as we did! We didn't have any battery issues thankfully.

[@billwaterhouse5894]

I think we just have a bad plug connector where the battery sensor plugs into the bottom of the charger (under your inverter). Ray Plunkett is working with redarc for us. Yes sir, we had a great time, almost decided to go to Expo East but over 3 weeks on the road decided not to. Looked like a great time, wish we had went. Good luck with it. PS my wife Nan says "look, we keep our starlink on a home depot/husky box as well 😄

[@DrXtoph]

Love your content! You're the best! This is my obligatory content to improve your results in the KZbin algorithm. :) I am working on getting my spouse ready for a transition to a FULLY-mobile lifestyle. you've been an inspiration to me. ❤

[@curtinfc]

My 3.6L JKUR was telling me "Please don't make me pull that!". We live in Colorado and have had several off-road trailers. Finally kept a 5' Ruger trailer and mounted a RTT on it. Still have to be patient going up the mountain passes. If only I had the 392..... :)

[@bah5310]

That trailer has more storage than my class B RV. I built an over trailer with RTT, HotTap, 270 awning, large storage box and I'd say I've got close to 20K just in parts. Add in the labor and more features and the total custom build and $58K is definitely a fair price. By all means go to your garage and build one.

[@cgarrisonak]

Love the trailer, especially the stairs for getting in and out. RTT doesn't work for older knees but this has both. Worth the cost for that feature!

[@garretlewis4103]

The new trailer looks nice. To me a camp setup and tear down time of 10 minutes or less is good. Again, those Patriot campers are nice, but oh boy are they expensive.

[@davidr.1517]

Hey Brad and Regina, I was a watching a video on Light Bright Nation page. He has the Bronco Rapter and does some really cool testing of it in Moab I believe. Also, has a really nice Jeep too that I think you'd like. Wait until you see what all they do with the Bronco Rapter. Yikes. Lol. Thought you might injoy there video.

[@brett3152]

8:31 would be the perfect time for Regina to practice backing up the trailer.

[@zachgregory1289]

Great features and looks like it can go the distance with tons of comfort. Thriving not surviving!

[@yellowhorse52]

I would love to see this new trailer in matching color of the Jeep. That would look awesome.

[@pmurphy12667]

Loving the trailer. We love our OGT expedition 2.0 and will never go back to tenting or RTT.

[@JoseHernandez-jh7ht]

SWEET...nice rig has some "bells & whistles" can't beat that that's what I call roughing it 😆😅🤠👍

[@scottymac5174]

I remember the first 4X4 trailer I ever saw. Back in the early 90's. My friends Highly Modified 2 door CJ7. A converted WWII Jeep military trailer. A $30,000 jeep was a bad ass jeep back then... Times have changed. Another friend in the mid 2000's bought a pop up camper trailer on a 4X4 axle/suspension. Coleman on steroids. He towed it behind his early Jeep JK Rubicon. Times have changed. These camper/trailer options continue to get better,

[@d.williamvitt3869]

Are they really “better”? Most people drive their Rubicon to campgrounds on paved roads not realizing that a Sport with AT’s due to it having a LSD is actually “better” in that situation because unless you have time to stop and lock a Rubicon’s rear differential is open. That means your highly capable off roader could leave you in the bar ditch on the side of the paved road well before you ever get to drive it off road. No salesman is going to tell you that; but I think influencers should. I love Brads “show” but it’s a show. An enlisted guy in San Diego without outside money isn’t living like this; unless he got there 50 years ago when housing was normally priced. In my practice I see drugs, alcohol and family failure because people can’t “live the dream” despite hard work. Well the reality is we have a military recruitment crisis while everyone is driving vehicles with “1941” pasted in them!

[@norcoredneck]

Nice adventure, for $20 I can buy a 12 pack and sit on my rear and let my arteries harden and badmouth everything folks do on KZbin. Jealousy is an ugly thing. After working hard, raising kids and saving for a rainy day spend some of your hard earned money on what you want. Enjoy life and ignore the haters. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

[@regenakowitz]

Thank you! 🤗

[@e5toro7008]

Underrated comment. 👍👏👏 Do what makes you happy. Life's ours to live our own way. I appreciate all sorts of content on KZbin because most of the time it's inspirational and gives me ideas for my own adventures. Keep it up Brad!

[@sinoble]

Nice rig! Well laid out.

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you, I think they really did a great job with this small package.

[@AliciaInJeep]

This trailer is so cool, tons of storage, my only problem would be remembering where what's hidden. Have a great adventure with this awesome trailer ;)

[@talismankreationen6678]

It is nice that if one wakes up early they slide out the side an use the stairs and not wake the other hopefully.

[@getoutwithrockandsherri]

Thanks for the great . . . up-close footage; just awesome! We visited Palo Duro in November; amazing place!

[@TrailRecon]

Merus is awesome!

[@nativetexson]

Congrats on the new camper! That's one awesome piece of equipment. Have fun-

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you, we think it's going to suit us well for a long time to come.

[@outdoorsman2b918]

Liked the video and great camping site. Love the big fridge. Most rigs of similar size comes with a 40lt fridge at best. I don't remember the channel but saw a group of guys in an expedition to Alaska with that trailer. Awesome. Can you try to get on your hands an Ember ROK Micro Overlander for a few weeks and review it after camping with it several times? Lance had an overlanding prototype a year and a half ago. The model name was the Enduro. Don't know if it is in production yet, but the two things I like about it are it has a full functioning wet bathroom and you can access the fridge from inside. Therefore a snack or cold drink in the middle of the night or on rainy day wasn't a problem. Given both are hard shell, in a rainy day or after a long travel, you don't have to set a tent. Just open the door, and move a few cushions to make the bed.

[@Rooftroop]

Awesome video as always! The Mrs and I are almost able to do some of these types of adventures. We got her a Willys extreme recon. We have been doing small camping in the back of a Nissan Frontier bed. Slowly getting set for better set ups.

[@TrailRecon]

You don't need much to make some great memories and have awesome adventures, everyones needs are a little different.

I really wanted an X3, but had a hard time seeing one in person. We went with a Mission Overland Summit and couldn't be happier.

[@lyndonhamby7432]

Justin makes a awesome product 👍👍

[@willyxj4342]

The jet stairs are neat, but when I look at that trailer, all I can see is how easy it would be for a bear to get inside to get the food it can smell. Fridge accessible inside, food accessible inside, and nothing but a canvas door to stop the animals. At least with ground tent or an RTT you are separated from your food storage.

[@RealAnimeBadGuy]

There is nothing like chilimac out on the trail. The best MRE you can ask for.

[@clintazure5727]

Hello. I stumbled across your Chanel. And would love to suggest that you switch from diesel to kerosene it burns a lot better, I sell those heater for highway truck application and they are constantly coming in for repairs. Diesel has to many additives in it and will eventually plug up your burner tube. Which in Canada can be as high as $200 to $300 to replace. I also loved the walk through and looking forward to more vids.

[@slavking1983]

Спасибо за видео.Отличный прицеп для путешествий и отдыха на природе

[@91Bronco]

That thing is really cool. I'm guessing the sleeping area is on the side that opens up where the ladder is? Maybe I missed you say that but if you spend as much time as you do on the road and off grid this thing is a must!

[@dutchydownunder5634]

Macaroni just like my mum used to make :D Patriot campers very nice buy boy are they expensive, even here in Australia where they are made.

Brad saw the X3 at Expo West and definitely liked the expandable roof. Your trailer color doesn’t match now 😂 On a serious note consider the partner stove if it fits, I’m surprised for the price they have a basic stove setup vs. when exploring tear drop options how many nice stove setups were out there.

[@TrailRecon]

I admit I'll miss the red matching trailer, but at leas it's still TrailRecon colors.. Red and Silver!

[@e5toro7008]

A couple TrailRecon stickers on the trailer should do the trick. 😁👍

[@MikeUtah]

@@TrailRecon maybe just add a simple red trail recon on it to tie in the colors a little.

[@stevefossum9065]

nice trlr but at $55k+, that is a big pill to swallow.

[@TrailRecon]

A trailer like this is not for everyone, but if you will be doing full time travel or spending several weeks or months out of the year on the trails like we do, it is a great option.

Great video, I really enjoyed it. I’m glad you got to visit my state. Arkansas has some beautiful places. Also I love that trailer, the X1N probably would suit my families needs better with throwing kayaks on top and other gear, but for your situation that x3 is nice I really like it.

Brad and Regena, congratulations on the new trailer. It definitely is a nice replacement from the X1. I’m just curious to know what size is the bed in the X3? I’m not seeing the size within the trailer’s specs online. Happy trails!
