    If you do add solar, may I suggest you mount a panel or two (preferably two if there is room) on the roof, then adapt the wiring to XT60 this way you can plug directly into the EcoFlow with no charge controller etc. This will give you a lot more capacity for the E.F. River and give you a bit of time in the field camping to figure out your total electrical needs. Then you can design your LiFePO4 battery pack/charge controller based on your actual, field tested needs. This trailer turned out so good, I cannot wait for your fist weekend camping video!!! Thank you for taking us along during the build!!!

      Panels are so easy to set up, and maybe you don't want to park in the direct sun. You're out in the sun on the road, but anything you have on your roof is blocking the sun, so maybe just start packing panels.

    • @jviewerm
      @jviewerm 7 місяців тому +1

      Agree with roof mount. My build has a roof top tent and only had "floor space" for one panel. So I mounted one fixed but mounted drawer slides on the uprights holding it. Then mounted a second so it would slide out when we are in camp for 200w when stationary. Great way to save roof space for cargo (bike mounts eg) but still maximize solar when camped.

    I've been following along the entire build and it's good to see it condensed here. I like the way you stacked the sides when building the frame to make them identical. So many people try to build them vertically on the trailer and it always seemed more prone to error - I'm intending doing it the way you did. Do you have any idea on the final weight?

    Great build. Really enjoyed watching that. I've been building Teardrop trailers since 1994 and this design is really appealing to me. On the rattle from the hitch, look up the anti-rattle ubolt. That will fix the rattle for sure. Also, to get more weight on the tongue put the axle farther back.

  • @harrymills2770
    @harrymills2770 Рік тому

    Beautiful job.
    Things I'd do different. Most of the differences are 4-season base camp related.
    * 5x10 body, maybe longer, but still keep the same cross-section. Yeah, you might get stuck on a Kelly hump, but what were you doing dragging a trailer over a Kelly hump?
    * Moar insulation.
    * Back-wall that's one big door or 2 swinging doors. I like one that opens into an awning. Don't think I'd want air struts. Just an arm that fits into a bracket.
    * Woodstove in one of the back corners. Kimberly's are spendy, but 6 inch clearance is all you need and they burn very clean.
    * Have an outfitter tent tailored to marry up with the back of the trailer. Something solid, like a good Montana Canvas 10x12 is pretty easy to set up, solo. Have them (or the Amish) make a custom wall made for the square-drop. More time-consuming setup than a batwing awning, but way sturdier. I've been caught out in BAD weather enough times to not trust those batwing awnings. You don't want gear that fails when you need it most.
    Random thought from your dirt bike thing:
    I think you could fit a 100 cc dirt bike or small atv in a 5x10x4. Not positive about the height, but yeah. I'd be thinking along those lines. You'd have to roll the bike/atv out to camp, but it'd ride better there than on the tongue, if you could pull it off. You'd probably need some sort of simple slider, because there wouldn't be room to ride it in. But I think you could make one of these a mini toy-hauler.

    Such a great build! I wish I had your welding skills.
    My only suggestion is to dump that circuit breaker. They're rubbish. They can arc at high current even when the circuit breaker is open, which is very likely if you're using lithium. I've learnt this the hard way. I'd replace with a MEGA or T-Class fuse, depending on your load. If it's just the fan and lighting then even a MIDI fuse would do the trick. Blue Sea is my go-to. If you're using it as an isolation switch then replace it with Blue Sea or equivalent isolator switch.

    Very nice build. I hope you enjoy the removable tongue jack as much as I do mine. The peace of mind is great. I’m lazy, so I removed the crank handle and had a 3/4” nut welded to the shaft. 18v drill gives me an electric jack. With a home brew trailer, I’d have incorporated two more in the rear corners for stabilizer/tire changing duties. I’m gonna need to add leading edge fender sliders to my Cargo Trailer conversion after ruining a fender, and seeing yours.

    • @Adv4x4
      @Adv4x4  Рік тому

      That’s a great idea with the jacks! I really debated on adding some screw jacks to the rear but I told myself I’d probably never really unhook it. And the way that the axle was placed we wouldn’t be heavy enough to get it to tip. In hindsight it would have been a smart addition just for leveling it alone! Live and you learn! Good luck on your build!

    Забавно что есть в прицепе много места! Я любил путешествовать, но у меня был микро автобус, а тут такое придумали: оригинально!
    Самое забавное то что на крыше этого прицепа можно было установить световую панель и можно хоть телевизор установить или электро- плиту установить, столько есть задумок, но мне было легко когда со мной была только опоры чтобы сделать большую натяшную крышу: почти как палатка без стен, ну и костёр! Единственное чего я не мог себе позволить, это: аппарат который воду из реки или озера фильтровать чтобы её можно было пить, я пресную воду на автостоянках брал! В общем классное время когда можешь столько задумок, а я мог это воплотить в реальность!

    100% honesty, this is something I’m thinking of doing. Do you think this level of welding is something someone like myself (completely new to welding but knows basic of wood working, already owns a miter saw, and learns on UA-cam) can do at home on his first DIY camper build? I’d be starting with a trailer kit that needs to be welded together, but would be cutting and also welding the frame like you have done here also.

    • @Adv4x4
      @Adv4x4  Рік тому

      I think that all depends on how quickly you progress with welding! After all this is something that’s going to be traveling down the road so you want it structurally sound! But with some determination and practice you can build welding skills pretty quickly. Nothing replaces trial and error! Start off with some metal projects for the garage like storage shelves, a welding cart, or even some stools. You will learn quickly what works and what doesn’t.

    I had a K5 blazer years ago and the owner before me had built a hitch for it and had a nut welded on the bottom, left and right of the receiver hole with a bolt in each nut that would apply pressure against the receiver and keep it from rattling. Of course, this would add a little work any time you wanted to swap out the receivers, but it did eliminate the rattle which is very annoying on long trips and insufficient tongue weight as you mentioned

    • @Adv4x4
      @Adv4x4  Рік тому

      Thanks for the tip! I think the main source of my rattling is actually from the lock n roll system. But of course sufficient tongue weight eliminates it. With the bike on the front of the camper is when this unit tows the best!

    As some have said, adding a solar panel would do wonders for easing some of the electrical needs you might have for longer stays.
    Also, as is the build seems to have a considerable high center of gravity and solar panels would make it worse. Adding a few batteries, especially older heavier ones or more expensive newer ones in larger quantity would help a lot in front of the trailer wheel axis.
    Understandably it would increase costs but in the long term, slowly adding the items would ease a light wallet.

    Nice build. I'd add a fresh water tank and outdoor sprayer at the minimum, that way you can wash up and have water access. Without running water, it comes down to just being a tow behind tent, IMO.
    Aside from my personal feelings about the purpose of a tow behind, very nice build 🤘

    • @Adv4x4
      @Adv4x4  2 роки тому

      I have a water setup for those things on my truck! As well as a kitchen space etc. So adding those things to this trailer wouldn’t have changed much for me personally.
      Also I do not bring this on every trip. There are some places I’m better off leaving this thing at home 😂
      But yes I can see how for someone who brings the camper on every single trip How that would benefit them forsure!

    I’m 74. Most schools stopped teaching welding decades ago. Most young people don’t even know what hand tools are or how to use them. My grandsons are early twenties and this would be a professional skill job to them. I learned welding, metal fabrication, machining, wood working, drafting and more in four years of high school. Schools stopped teaching that stuff as unnecessary. But they still have basketball, football, wrestling and other courses that are unnecessary to living in the real world.
