Great info, I'm highly considering a Braxton Creek Radical. Thanks for the video!
Fantastic, my favourite camper so far.
I love this perfect teardrop trailer
It's mine, can't wait to get it!!!
I really appreciate the review, it’s one of the few on this specific unit. I ended up purchasing it a couple of weeks ago, I get to pick it up from the dealer next week and I already have my first trip planned with it! Can’t wait!!
Awesome! This thing really turns heads in person! Enjoy it!
Looks compact and comfortable for rest. That red RV behind it looks interesting. I've never seen a red RV.
I'll be reviewing that red one in the future. 👍
I like this trailer and is the 1st time I see a review of it.
For storage purpose I would buy those foldable boxes and put them in the front shelve. Then secure the with some kind of net. Maybe create a lip with a piece of formica so the boxes don't slip or fall of the shelf easily.
On the roof I would install the biggest Thule cargo box for my fishing gear.
For a price of it - 25.000$ CAD it has absolutely everything! It’s big enough to comfortably throw canoe 🛶 on top, many small trailers come with only electric heater, this has both!
For normal off-road you don’t need 45k+ all aluminum hardcore body, this is strong enough unless you want to do some crazy rock climbing thing with a lot of body flex…
I like it!
Free Heat: Is there enough room to put enough solar plates and batteries to run that fireplace on solar only and the same for the air conditioner? Also, can the air conditioner be replaced with a 12-volt model?
My car has a max tow rating of 3500#. It would be interesting to see you towing this RV with a smaller vehicle.
I really like these, but when the price is as much (or more) as a full height with bathroom/shower inside unit (pretty sure the bushwacker 15re is the same price), its no wonder these don't sell well...
25.000 cad ain’t much nowadays, you can get full size unit for it, sure, but go take a look how crappy they are made, everything falling apart.
Similar units as this one usually starting at 35k, smaller units are actually harder to made then bigger ones, and similar work hours to do so…..full size unit can be a problem in back country.
Smaller units like this are not harder to make at all and certainly aren't more expensive to build. They have less equipment to install (no shower, no bathroom sink, no toilet), the physical size of components is smaller and able to be installed by one person at easier working heights (instead of 2 sometimes 3 or 4 people). Not to mention, there is LESS stuff to add cost... literally less material used to build it, less wood, less screws, less aluminium, less steel, less glass, less plastic, less fabric etc etc. You've fallen for this "it costs more because it's smaller" bs that many manufacturers say. When these sit on the lot for a year or so (at least past peak season), they get discounted 5 to 10k... which means they are still making a profit at those discounts.
@@nabob14 materials for rv factory ain’t biggest cost…Time is.
It takes same time to put together small teardrop compared to lower class mid size unit (with your adored toilet and shower).
You paying for upkeep of plant, paycheques of people working on it, lady who’s cleaning floors and fat chicks slacking in office, then transport and dealers cut what also have to pay office fatties……that’s why small rv ain’t cheap!
@grottu again, these are built literally in the same building as the larger units that are the same price or cheaper!! Again, less stuff means less labour because they are not installing a black tank, plumbing for the bathroom fixtures, there is less cabinets to install, the frames and structure take less time to build,
@@nabob14 to cut that down and make it in same price as your “larger units in same price” you getting stuff put together in a hurry, cabinets stapled together instead of screwed.
You keep saying larger units in same price - go take a look at quality of that crap, that a dog houses what are falling a part quickly, they made it that way to squeeze in your price range
Great info. Thanks.
Good video I was wondering if you can run the fridge while it's in motion?
It's been a while since I filmed this, without watching it back myself, if it's a 12 Volt fridge, you definitely can. I believe it's a 12 Volt fridge.
I wish Braxton Creek would provide some ground clearance numbers on their off-road models.
That's a reversable hinge fridge. I wonder why they didn't bother revering the hinge.
Seems like an accessory worth considering is a pair of smaller diameter wheels strictly for lowering the height of the trailer in order to store it in your garage.
Interesting. Hasn't thought of that, but that might work. Especially for seasonal storage.
My Ford Escape has the ecoboost 2.0 ltr. It has a 3500# towing capacity, so this would be perfect!
For those of you who are Americans and for Europeans, buying a trailer or motorhome is a privilege, there are different types of manufacturers, models and prices that are very, very cheap. In Brazil we have the most expensive taxes in the world, our cars and gasoline are the most expensive. on the planet, around here we only have 3 companies that only manufacture motorhomes and the prices, believe me, are more expensive than a house, at least 10 times more expensive than what you pay out there, damn taxes from the dirty government of this country. So don't complain but Thank God for having this privilege that for us Brazilians not even rich people risk having
Great video. You showed a control panel for the water heater. Does that mean it is an on demand water heater?
I like rhe looks and features . Since our kids are grown , it fits well for me and my wife going to the beach and parks .
Interesting - how much? Hate reviews that don’t include price.
I'll rarely include price because it can change very often, also I film Canadian models and many people want to know the price for their market. If you use the link in the description that will have an up to date price on this unit at the time that you watch it and not just at the time that I filmed it.
Would like to see video of the 12sk radical.
Do you still like your A liner trailer better than this one ? Pros and cons ?
I like the Aliner because you can stand inside, and cook inside and out. But you can use this to take all kinds of toys on the roof rack which really opens up what you can do while you're on a trip.
Braxton Creek does not have this model on their website. They need to fix that issue. I'd like to see a front storage box or at least say there is an option for it. Nice RV though. Looking forward to that promised future video. Set it up, hook it up, let's see it.
Just a follow up. I bought this camper for my Christmas present. Found it in Maryland for a few thousand less. 2024 model brand new. I am nothing short of pleased with this purchase so far. I've only had time for winter camping obviously, but I like this one over the smaller tear drops because it has some wiggle room for mods and comes standard with just about all the options you would want, including instant hot water. It is a bit heavier tongue weight than the smaller teardrops. This is not for towing with cars. But towing 2000lbs dry is still great for midsize trucks. I use a Ranger. The suspension upgrade is what makes this one worth more than the standard 12 ROK. Unlike what Peter described in the video, it IS an off road, deep trail rut camper and has some rock crawling capability. Also, unlike what he said, even though you can take it anywhere, it belongs way out there in the middle of nowhere.
Looks like a nice package. I do not see a spare tire. It does not appear as durable as a true overland trailer. There are no doubt a lot of people that this trailer fits needs of getting away in the mountains and off the beaten path. Thanks for sharing.
Looks like it was mounted underneath towards the rear...
Agree with you that this is the direction the industry will go to. Spending the night in an RV camp seems far worse to me than a cheap hotel. Cost an insane amount of money to move it anywhere and even more to park it.
If you haven't checked lately, there are no more cheap hotels either.
Hotels are disgusting...
how much is the Bushwacker 12ROK radical $$$
Can you do a comparison video with the 10HD Radical?
I'll try to! Thanks for the suggestion!
how about removing the cushions and putting a futon bed mattress
You'd lose headroom, and I'm not sure that you'd gain comfort, but that's a cool thing about these trailers, you can make them your own.
Braxton Creek seems to have had a lot of quality issues around 2020-2021, just based on internet reviews. Is there any reason why this model or their current production models in general should be more trusted?
I think internet reviews for all brands will show quality issues. Nobody goes camping and immediately gets home to praise their camper. The best advice that I can give is to buy from a great dealer, and spend time examining the details. Manufacturers that don't take care of the small details will often miss bigger issues too.
I have watched several of your videos and I think you do a great job in explaining the product you are reviewing. My one suggestion is that you are looking at your watch often during the recording. I would suggest you silence your notifications on your Apple Watch. It is very distracting to the viewer, at least it is distracting to me. Great job otherwise.
That's fair. My watch is my view finder. It remotely let's me see what you see, so sometimes it's helpful for me to see that while filming. It also allows me to start and stop my recording, and occasionally I begin speaking too soon after activating the "record" function, so I don't have the ability to edit that out in the take. So it's not that I'm checking notifications, it's that I'm working alone, and the watch is a key piece of the process of producing these videos.
I did not know watches did that lol. Learn something new... etc@@PeterLoweOne
It would drive me bonkers when I can not look outside! And....aerodynamic? With stuff on a roof rack? 😂😂😂 Put that one behind the Tesla and your sorry! It will half your autonomy! Did you ever 'did' a recharge while towing a trailer or caravan? It's a disaster. You have to unhook the trailer and park it elsewhere, because otherwise you block the passage for others....
Can a 3.6 jeep Wrangler Rubicon pull it ?
Yup! No problem.
Are those azdel walls?
Saw these for $26K Canadian at the RV show.
That looks like fun, but looks so different from the shapes/styles we have in europe
Yeah, I'd love to spend time reviewing what you have there!
@@PeterLoweOne my last caravan (years ago) was a twin axle 6.0 metre twin axle. On board water, central heating etc…..
Pulled it with an early Range Rover which had the original 3.5 V8 carburettor engine. It drank fuel like it was going out of fashion….
What's the going price on something like this $$$
Check the link in the description for up to date pricing.
can't put a rooftop tent on it the side rails will stop it from opening.
I know that rooftop tents CAN be mounted on these racks. They may need cross rails, but they absolutely can be mounted with the correct mounting hardware.
No window shades😮
Without watching the video again, I'm pretty sure this DOES have window coverings that button in place maybe? I'm sure it's not just open windows. Obviously I should have done a better job of covering that in the video.
How much does it cost
Check out the link in the description for up to the minute pricing.
Looks pretty cool, but to be honest the construction quality seems a bit sloppy--outlets and stickers are crooked, cables and hoses look slapped in place, doesn't inspire much confidence. Great idea, execution seems rushed and careless.
Hi
Please slow down talking lol we had to watch the video twice to hear everything lol
You can add a tennis ball on the tips for the cover on the kitchen
How cute, where is the rest of it??
Why oh why do RV manufacturers have such lame graphics? Really why do they have graphics at all?
Haha. There are a few things that North American RV manufacturers do that I'd like to see updated. The innovation in this industry lags other industries over the past 30 to 40 years. Having said that, they still offer a great lifestyle! The industry knows that it's less about their product and more about what it allows us to do. Having said all of that. Yes, better graphics, some more design innovation... All of those things are things I'd like to see in the industry.
@@PeterLoweOne Yes!! Overall much of the design seems pretty stodgy.
Seems poorly designed in the interior.
Please take your shoes off thank you
Haha. I thought that was a boat rule? Also, you should watch my boat videos. 🙂
This is the way of an Asian home 😊
Not a toy hauler Not interested
Different products for different people, someone might want smaller camper to tow behind to save gas or don’t want to buy new heavy duty truck to tow heavy travel trailer.
👎. Not worth the money. Just buy a van, large SUV or cargo trailer.
That's an option for some. Not everyone.
I noticed you didn't mention price. Is that cause they are 60k plus so nobody can afford them. The one I looked at in Pennsylvania was 78k.
I rarely mention price because they can change from when I film to when you watch. Pricing can always be found using the link in the description.
22k Canadian
