GUNNER KENNELS G1 DOG CRATE REVIEW: IS IT the BEST & SAFEST DOG CRATE ON THE MARKET?
Here is my DEEP DIVE review on the Intermediate Gunner Kennels G1 dog crate!
I only trust the safety & wellbeing of my 2 Siberian Huskies with the BEST.
I’ve always felt uneasy traveling with my two dogs in traditional plastic crates - and I was tired of replacing flimsy wire and plastic combination crates year after year. The @Gunnerkennels G1 dog crate is a heavy-duty kennel.
This crate has safety in mind at every inch, helping safeguard against human error and seasonal elements. Gunner backs up their confidence by offering a lifetime manufacturer’s warranty on each kennel.
Gunner Kennels is Located in Nashville, TN & their crates are made right here in the USA. GUNNER is a Direct to Consumer company - meaning that gunner.com is the only authorized retailer store of GUNNER products. Due to this, you will not find their products in any storefronts.
In 2022, they opened the GUNNER Showroom for customers to visit their HQ in Nashville, TN.
Gunner Kennels prides themselves on having the safest portable kennel on the market, and their products are made of a very durable blend of polymer.
The G1™ kennel is the first 5 Star Crash Test Rated pet travel crate, certified by the Center For Pet Safety.
The G1 Large crate weighs around 72 lbs and the Intermediate crate weighs around 48 lbs.
There are two aspects about the tie-down system that make the biggest difference:
1.) The anchors on the four corners of the G1™ are 1/2" thick stainless steel pins.
2.) Their tie-down pins are intentionally built into the kennel: as the G1™ cools, they insert the stainless steel components at the four corners, in order to ensure they're fully part of the safety system.
Most other crates out there offer (add-on) aluminum brackets - that are not integrated in the same way - which are liable to rip out with enough force or impact.
The INTERIOR dimensions of this intermediate crate are: 30" long x 18" wide at the floor and 25" high by 19" (wide) at the kennel's widest interior point.
The EXTERIOR dimensions are 34" (L) x 23" (W) x 28.5" (H) and 30" (Height) with carry handles.
After purchasing these crates with my own hard-earned money and owning them for over a year, I believe that the Gunner Kennels G1 is the BEST dog crate on the market now! It keeps your dogs safe & lasts/has proven durability.
I appreciate you watching this ‘Robinson Reviews’ Epidode!

Do they breathe better than the quest forces 4d - my favorite boots but I have trouble wearing them above 65 Fahrenheit, the v8 ignite with my upgraded insoles I tend to roll my ankles.
@@johncouture6752 I would say they breathe about the same or on par with the quest forces 4d. Maybe a little less boot than those around the top of ankles.
You’re dialed in!
@@brecklight203 thank you for watching!
If I do not have Starlink, can I just get this mini or do I have to have the regular first?
@@relentlessfpv1822 Yes, I believe there are two plans available currently. The Mini Roam plan that costs $50 per month and gets you 50GB of portable or in-motion data each month - or - The Regional plan that costs $150 and provides unlimited mobile data, with the option to pay by the GB for in-motion use.
@@RobinsonReconnaissance awesome thank you very much for getting back to me and for your video.
The plug is not the router it’s just the power supply. You had me confused so I had to look it up
@@leahparks1451 you are correct
Have the min for a month now. $599+$50/mo Yes you can drive with it. Works well on freeways because you always drive in one direction. Speed varies when you make turns on streets. I still get pretty good reception doing 70-80mph. Works good while off roading, strong vibration and tilting going through large rocks. Leave enough room while in traffic making sure the dish can see the sky. I use it without the power supply. Use USBC 19v 100w cable 5.5mm barrel plug and an Anker power brick works for 8h+hr. I can make calls with Wi-Fi calling enabled, receiving text, zoom and Webex calls without a glitch. Out in the wild the dish can do about 100ft radius of wifi coverage, line of sight. In cities where wifi signals are crowded mini broadcasts to about 30ft radius.
@@kn7x802 Excellent, you’ve no doubt put the mini through its paces - all great insights here!
No these are trash and the laces fucking suck
You think i can take this bag for a 3 day trip in the woods. Maybe combined with a dz rig LBE.
@@henrycastejon1652 go to town Baud.
Nice video ben Does your van have any suspension upgrades? What size tires do you run, thanks .. i enjoyed the tree pron.. 🌲
@@Liimpy Thanks! Nope, the Adventure Wagon is stock right now. It does have 4x4 high and low settings & it’s currently on 33” BF Goodrich K02 tires. You can run 35s on it if you do some minor fender trimming however. Debating upgrading the suspension at some point and maybe putting a beefier transfer case on to protect from rocks
Reading the comments. These people are so confused- you’re more prepared than 90% of the people in the comment section. Good stuff man. Got some great takeaways. Do you have redundancies? Yes. That’s not a bad thing as long as you can carry them. And if you can carry these. Then great. If it gets heavy. You can always drop and get rid of stuff. Good video.
@@Rootkitdev Really appreciate your thoughtful comments and sensibility. I guess we can’t truly satisfy everyone on here, but we can strive to get better dialed. Glad you found some good nuggets in all this. Thank you again for watching!!! 🤘🏼
Will this work on while moving?
@@1Seriouslyserious Yes! Users on Mini Roam are limited to 50GB of Mobile Data and can use in-motion beyond 10mph
Somewhat like Kite Lake (12,020 ASL) and zero worries regarding bears.
@@HighSpeedNoDrag have yet to do Kite Lake but it looks fantastic! I do love the Alma area. It’s a good thing we don’t have to worry about Brown Bears & Grizzlies here in Colorado! Just Black Bears eh. Thank you for watching! 🤘🏼
This video is false. Starlink Mini, nor any internet service is provided at 100 megabytes per second. It’s provided at 100 megabits per second.
@@lwheatcraft thanks Logan! I’m not a techie, so I got it wrong! 😆 you are correct. Thanks for watching though! Mbps vs. MBps. Video is more about novelty of having mobile internet in BFE rather than specs.

Do you know of any molle storage panels that will work on the inside of the back doors on the 2023? Seems they work on the older models but havent seen anything for a 2023.
I haven’t found anything yet, but that would be a sweet setup what you’re describing. Will have to look, but maybe Owl Vans or Flatline Van Co have something like that. Adrenaline Adventure Vans might also be able to point you in a direction.
where did u get the bag?..I have a lot of 80/20 in my van..and I could hang it

@@swoolf1431 yes Maxx Fan remote
@@RobinsonReconnaissance why would you need a remote that big? good to know I'll make sure one comes with mine when i pick it up next week. thanks
also trying to understand why you would need 8 cup holders up front lol
@@swoolf1431 yeah it’s huge, just came with it…
@@swoolf1431 you’d be surprised. I use all my cup holders hahaha 😂 I recommend using coozies with your beverages, prevents rattling!
It is *up to* 100 megabit.. Bit not megabyte. Huge difference there my guy. Max speed is around 12 megabytes per second.
@@lmanders2 thanks for pointing that out Lee! I’m not up to speed with all the tech haha
@@RobinsonReconnaissanceno worries, you got a subscriber here
Still pretty damn fast considering the alternative is 0 megabits/s
@@taylorlangley900 it is! Thanks for watching!
This is a nice van, the track system is genius, not everyone wants to "live" in their van and doesn't need all the fancy amenities, this is perfect and adjustable depending on your needs for the weekend etc.. this could probably tow my atv trailer aswell.. i like it
@@Liimpy yeah no need for the shower/bathroom which takes up valuable space in the van. Most use the shower as a closet anyway! The Adventure Wagon is a solid compromise on modularity & Convenience/Comfort.
@@RobinsonReconnaissanceI'm convincing my better half now :)
Have you used it for wifi calling on your phone yet?.. i know it works on regular starlink so id imagine this would work aswell
@@Liimpy yes used for WiFi calling and FaceTime with iPhone users. Works like a charm!
The router is in the dish not in the power brick! Better to set the dish closer to your position for better WiFi signal.
@@STF68 thanks!
I've got the standard dish and have used it a few times in areas that have huge trees that are +100ft tall, but when those trees are in the way (encroach on the sky above around a 45 degree angle up from the dish) I will get outages. Those areas you had the dish like at 9:20 look like very spotty areas for coverage when the dish is on the ground (spotty in terms of consistent signal, I'd guess you might get enough to send out texts or load webpages with secs/mins of waiting for it to get a signal then downloads quickly). I've been interested in selling my standard dish and buying one of these if the upload speeds stay the same as they are on the standard dish (5-20Mbps as measured by non-starlink meter like googling it). Also would be more nervous about outages with the manual aligning dishes. Hoping the reviews say that uploads are just as fast and coverage concerns are the same and not worse.
I concur! I honestly haven’t noticed too much of a difference between standard and mini service/speed/quality. Some service off-grid is better than no service as far as I’m concerned. It’s a nice luxury to have! Thanks for watching
Our boat is usually parked in a marina, but if we are moving along the coast wonder if it would work while moving? or does it need to be stationary like on anchor
The roam plan says that it supports movement which no other non-movement dedicated plan says that. So I'd figure it would work unless there is a maritime issue involved.
@@thedigitalshack yes should work while moving/ in-motion. In-motion use is supported with Mini Roam and Mobile Priority service plans. On Mobile Regional, customers can opt-in to use in-motion by the GB.
@@tannermeade agreed! For “In Motion” - There are no service address changes needed, which allows for high speed in motion use. The “portable” plan says it allows for slower moving speeds less than 10 MPH. Guessing these would both work for slower moving boats on the go.
The router is housed inside the antenna
@@CoolAccent thanks - power supply is the plug outlet
@@RobinsonReconnaissance yessir!
how many watts did it pull on the ecoflow?
@@swoolf1431 Mini Roam was about 40W bootup, then hovered around 25W active & 12.5W when idle on Ecoflow. To give you an idea, I believe the standard Stationary Starlink averages 50-75 Watts when connected….
@@RobinsonReconnaissance $30 a month for 50gb?
@@swoolf1431 Yes. Best for weekend warriors mostly... I use the standard stationary/residential starlink primarily at my offgrid property where I spend most of my time when I’m not on the road. The Mini Roam is best for weekend travelers, backup internet & in-motion use (10mph+). They also offer a “Mobile Regional” plan for $150 which is unlimited data for traveling.
In this video what kind of download speeds were you getting amongst the mountains and the trees at this campsite?
@@kip5588download speeds in the mountains were ranging from 60 to 75 mbps. When I’ve set it up without any tree obstructions, it’s closer to 100 mbps
What dealership did you buy from?

Router has a built in router 🤯 I have the residential service hope to be able to play with one if these soon!
Hahaha I was way too excited. It has a built in router. 😂
@@RobinsonReconnaissance i drive a model 3 and live in an area where it doesn’t get service for all the fancy features to work. Seriously considering 3d printing a mount for it to sit behind the roof glass and see if it works. But $10 for premium connectivity and $30 for starlink is a-lot to be paying just so i can use apple music on the screen not Bluetooth…
@@Ioneiverse 3D printing a mount might work, it’s worth a shot if you can dial something in!
I’m guessing you have it flipped since it looks opposite of what’s on the box and water would flow toward your ports if it rains. You want the cables to face downward from the ports so the water can fall down to the ground along the cable with gravity. It works fine how you have it obviously. I would just be mindful of the orientation next time if there’s the possibility of rain. It could prolong the life of the unit.
Thanks - Great points! Had setup like this temporarily facing up so people could see the cables and how they lead out of the unit.

You going to add an awning or roof rack? That's prob going to be my first upgrade.
@@swoolf1431 excellent! YES, I concur. Roof rack is a must, plus want to get some sort of storage box setup for the back doors, along with a bike rack. Awning on my list too, plus mayb 2 Baja lights up front in the grill! The roof rack will be a good platform for some solar panels maybe? So many possibilities! Lol
Amazing video dude the vibe of van and camping i can feel it i love it❤ keep going brother
Really appreciate it, thanks for watching!!! 👊
Just bought the same sprinter will not get it for a few weeks. How are you liking yours?
Nice, congrats on your van! Loving it so far. The ecoflow generator is awesome. Lasts 10 days typically & that’s using the Dometic fridge constantly. Sips power and is a pretty good solution. The Moab bed, mule bags & L tracks are great and love the modularity of everything. The ecoflow wave 2 AC/heater that they “throw in” not so much. Didn’t work too well in the hot temps above 80 degrees…. Everything else is awesome. Easy to customize & improve everything to your liking! Hope you enjoy your van soon! 👊

Fellow (recent) AW buyer! Are you using the front window shades that came with it? If so, how did you get them to stay up? I’ve seen online that many people ended up swapping these out with something else. Also if you need a sheet to protect the MOAB, Hest makes one! (Look for the S75 custom on their page). Also found a few good tire well solutions too!
Awesome! Congrats on your van! Yes, I have been using the front windshield screen/shade on hot days and to protect the dash from the sun mostly. Haven’t used it much as a privacy screen yet really. It seems kind of bulky for sure but seems to stay up with both the visors down over it. Not the biggest fan of the Velcro portion in the middle that slips over the rear view mirror in center of windshield….Always seems like it isn’t quite a perfect fit and not a full “blackout” shade. I think I’m going to stick with it for now, unless I find something better quality. I will have to check out the Hest sheets you mentioned. I’ve been using a regular king size sheet that I shrunk a bit in the dryer and seems to work fine when you tuck the excess under the mattress. Definitely not ideal though. I found some solid black tire well covers (rubber molds to size) that are a perfect fit for the inside of the wheel wells and protect the paint - They are from TerraWagon. I also got the front plastic hood spoiler (black) from TerraWagon & I’m VERY happy with that - Protects front hood edge from paint chips and gives it a more aggressive look on front end. Goes on/applies easy with 2 - 3M tape strips. Happy adventuring to you! 🚐 💨

100k van with a 1k build
🤣 You can live in it though. Find a shell sprinter for $70-85k and have fun building it out yourself. Can be a fun project.
I have a set for work. They are good shoe/boot but I much prefer regular laces as compared to these speed laces.
Laced Salomon’s are always a good option too! Thank you for watching!
Also have salawas firetail evo’s and arboro evo 2’s for tree work and like both those too…shoes/boots always been something I’ve loved since mom kept us in Jordan’s all through 80s/90s in school and wish I had all the sets she bought us…
Been wanting to give the Salawas a try, on my list! Also been considering the Belleville Boot Vapors which have a tennis shoe type sole on a tactical chassis, have heard mixed reviews reviews on durability though on those. The Altama Maritime assaults are also some of favs right now, especially in @relvcamo
Had my forces 4yrs and still like new but I havnt used em n mountains yet but my quest 4d’s I’ve had since 14’ and still hike in eastern Ky jungles…shoe goo keeps soles goin when they start delaminating and havnt busted and seams I couldn’t fix yet but gettin close to the end…I’m hard on em though bending and scuffing alot on rocks and takes a good pair to hold up around here…have the ultras and xa pro’s 4yrs and prob 7yrs on low tops…soles on them are soft and eat away fast I found but traction is second to none…
Dang, sounds like those are all troopers and have lasted you a long time! Tough kicks. Eastern KY ain’t no joke either! Thanks for watching! 🤙🏼
Solid looking rigs. Seem comparable to the Lowas.
Definitely comparable to Lowas. Haven’t tried them yet, but need to give them a shot too. Thanks for watching! 🤙🏼
A compass?
Great point. I have added a lightweight plastic Suunto A-10 NH Compass since I filmed this. Solid addition!
Could you take a rifle down and store it in the bag?
Yes indeed you could. Great addition.
Hello from middle America! I purchased the Winnebago AW about the same time you did. Congrats. So I have some questions. What do you think about running the fan, lights, etc off the chassis battery? I am looking for a solution to run off the Ecoflow and totally disconnect from the starter battery. I would hate to get stranded? What are your thoughts?
Congrats on your Winnebago as well! I haven’t had any issues yet running the Maxx fan, lights and everything else off the chassis battery. I did get 3 or 4 GoalZero torch lights that I use as my primary lighting source in the Mule Bag nets. These are solar rechargeable lights, so a good lighting solution that does not pull from the battery. I also purchased a NOCO boost jump starter that I keep in the van just in case of emergency or if I get stranded when I’m offgrid. I trust the current setup off chassis battery.
