what trailer did you get I think that the camper fits it perfectly People complaining about it not having amenities dont understand This is basically used the same as a tent and the beauty of it is you can take the camper out of thee trailer and have a motorcycle hauler to anything else you need a trailer for .
My wife was definitely worried about that! We tested it overnight, with the wheels chocked, and it really didn't move too much. We have RV stabilizer jacks that we bought for the back corners, but by the time we got where we were going and got everything else set up, we were too tired to set them up so we didn't use them. We will probably use them in the future for just a little extra stability. Thank you for watching!
It is actually thick foam that is glued & screwed together, then coated with a hot applied bed-liner type material. They are under $3000 and Tusca makes models designed to be used on both trailers and in pickup beds. Thank you for watching.
Ok, I like the idea for a budget minded build, but it’s really too small for much especially for a larger guy like me. Combined with an attachable tent or screen house and a larger entrance it would probably be better in my opinion. Maybe a larger trailer for battery and propane tanks storage, but then you might be defeating the purpose.
@@dang6832 we have seen some Tusca HitchHiker builds on larger trailers with more storage space than we have, but weight was definitely a concern for us. Also, we do have an ARB Awning / awning room on our Jeep that we are working on a way to move over to the Tusca to add more of a living space. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I can’t believe you took the time to comment on this, but since you did, I’ll take a minute to reply. If you’re implying that I could have built it myself, I don’t have the workspace, tools, time, or skills to do so. If you’re implying that you don’t like the material, all teardrop materials… wood, fiberglass, aluminum, whatever, have their advantages and disadvantages. Foam teardrop builds have been around for many years. This was half the price of any teardrop I considered, and weighs less than most even including the utility trailer. For us, ground tents and roof top tents are not an option, so this gives us someplace warm and dry to sleep.
It is secured to the trailer with steel plates inside the unit that are bolted through the trailer floor… sorry we did not record that process as we were anxious to get back on the road. This is an entry level option and definitely not something everyone would want, but it works for what we want to do. It is lighter and less expensive, even including the trailer purchase, the any teardrop/squaredrop that I have seen, and I have been researching the market for about 3 years.
@@sigbauer9782 show me a car that is as comfortable to sleep in as a queen size mattress. This guy drives a Wrangler. I can assure you that a queen size mattress is a superior sleeping arrangement to a Wrangler.

very nice!
Interesting. I think it will wiggle around while people are inside unless the trailer is chocked.

I can't believe you paid for this

this is pointless. also, it's not even secured to the trailer.

It's a dry place to sleep that's off the ground and thousands of dollars cheaper than a factory built teardrop camper.
@@jrghays46 may as well sleep in the car
