    Amazing video as always! The desert night was beautifully clear, and the glow from the ambient lighting under your camper really enhanced the mood. The camera experiment really shows how durable and well-built the Tab is. Thanks for sharing, and I can't wait for your next adventure!

      It turned out to be a great and interesting short trip. Thank you for watching and commenting once again. See ya in the new year.

    Very interesting video! I really enjoyed the testing part. Even a 40MPH on the highway things really rattle and roll inside that trailer. Speed is the key here for sure. Really nice to get away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy some peace and quite! Thanks for the video!

      @TheVespap200e pretty wild, huh. Well, that paved road was a worst case example. It's almost as bad as the dirt, ahhaha. On a smooth highway, I'm sure it's only about half that bad. Yes! Peace and silence seem to be a much more needed thing these days. Thank you for watching and commenting again. See ya next year.

    What a wild ride! It did help me level-set what the Tab can be expected to do. Your sacrifice to the Tab is appreciated! I really enjoyed the video. I think you indeed blazed a new trail by filming inside the trailer!

      Pretty wild. The ship made it back home all in one piece. Just gotta take it nice and easy. Thank you for watching and commenting once again.

    Good review. I have a pop-up camper and let me tell you, it got beat up pretty good on the road to Alamo Lake. We camped in the back where it's dirt roads to get to. Had to pretty much rebuild the whole cabinet where the sink and stove sit. Thanks for the vidoes.

      I know exactly where you mean. Oh man! That sucks. It's pretty crazy how Ruff even the roads can be on a trailer. I appreciate you watching. Thanks!

    I pull with a Tacoma. I pull almost exclusively off road to camp. I've learned to take the table top to the floor. Air down and make sure my windows are closed tightly on dirt roads😅

    • @DSWadventures
      @DSWadventures  26 днів тому

      Yep ahaha. I think I may start taking the table top off now, haha.

    The place you stayed looks like the scene from Into The Wild where Chris left his car.

    • @DSWadventures
      @DSWadventures  25 днів тому

      Pretty simular, haha. I think that may have been filmed out near joshua Tree, though.

    Hey and thanks for the great videos. I was wondering about the Alde system and how loud it is normally when heating the tab. Can you shed some light on the noise level? Thanks

    • @DSWadventures
      @DSWadventures  26 днів тому

      Thank you! The Alde is actually really quiet compared to a regular furnace. On electric mode, it's virtually silent. You may just hear the glycol pump pushing fluid around, just barely.
      On gas, it's still pretty quiet. You may hear the vent fan kick on for the exhaust and burner POOF lighting on and off. Depending on altitude change, it will make slightly different noises. You will most likely hear a creaking here and there just from the trailer it's warming up, haha.

    Dang, that explains why our wood screws are backing out of our trailer cabinet hinges.

    • @DSWadventures
      @DSWadventures  23 дні тому

      Yep 😬 Just stay on top of them. Don't over tighten, though. Thanks for watching.

    Holy crap dude that was both terrifying and enlightening. I'd will definitely not be towing on rough roads a lot.

    • @DSWadventures
      @DSWadventures  26 днів тому

      Right! Hahaa. It's amazing that most travel trailers hold up to that kind of road earthquake. It's pretty impressive to withstand all that. I will definitely be slowing it down on the ruffer terrain, haha.

    Nice video! Yes, I’m afraid with the height clearance on this trailer people will think that means ride over rocks.
    Question: I purchase a package of those little level you have on the trailer. I think I had 5 of them but off the top of my head not sure. I did test them and only found two that were accurate. With one way off. Just thought I pass that along if anyone buys more then one in a package they should test how accurate they are. I’m thinking it may have something to do with the plastic casing they are in.

    • @DSWadventures
      @DSWadventures  25 днів тому

      Are you talking about the bubble level? Or the tire/ stabilizer blocks ?

    • @tjphoto8943
      @tjphoto8943 13 днів тому +1

      @ Bubble

    • @DSWadventures
      @DSWadventures  13 днів тому +1

      @tjphoto8943 gotcha. Yeah, just check your interior level with a separate level, and match the outer one to it. I had to slightly bend the area I mounted the level to to match the inside levels.

    No rain in the forecast? I would wonder if being in a wash is a good idea? Those under carriage lights are really nice!

    • @DSWadventures
      @DSWadventures  12 днів тому

      No rain out here for a while unfortunately. You are correct, you never want to stay in a wash if rain is even remotely present, even if a storm is many miles away in the distance. 👍 Yes, the rock lights are neat. I've really found them useful also, especially while hooking up or towing off road in the dark. Also, good low ground glow camp lighting when needed.

    I’m cringing watching this. I have to go down a mile of dirt road to get to my house .That’s all I’m gonna put my trailer through and I go very slow.
    Thank you for putting your trailer in jeopardy for the sake of all of us watching it .

    • @DSWadventures
      @DSWadventures  26 днів тому

      😬 right. Just take it slower on the really Ruff roads, and everything should be just fine. On the way back, i kept it under 15mph on the dirt road. It did a lot better, haha. The T@b made it home all in one piece. Thank you for watching and commenting.

    It’s like an earthquake going down the road. Hey, you on Instagram?

    • @DSWadventures
      @DSWadventures  26 днів тому +2

      Yep. Unfortunately, I don't have an Instagram or fb.

    • @DSWadventures

      Trying to find a similar spot where I met you guys last year. If you're there, I will stop by for sure.

    • @IntoTheWildernessWeGo

      Man, we were actually going to go back to that same loop, a group of 5 of us but we just canceled. Have family that decided to come into town to visit for Christmas thru New Year’s. Plus the flu is going through the house right now too. 😩

    • @DSWadventures
      @DSWadventures  25 днів тому

      @IntoTheWildernessWeGo Dang. Well, just relax and enjoy the family time. Hope you guys get out camping soon, bud.
