    I have noticed on some RVs and some caravans people have done a DIY themselves which is they have press buttons around the bottom of the caravan or camper then they have a heavy curtain tarp that runs around the whole bottom front rear left and right side and a little bit of extra overhang on the ground to put the snow on or dirt this is for several purposes which is keeps the cold air out in winter from under the caravan and if you're in a Sandy area like desert or Beach do the same thing put some sand around the base as well to keep the the curtains from moving it stops any dirt or find dirt getting up where it shouldn't be

    This is exactly what my wife and I are looking for, but it doesn't need to be an overlanding trailer. Something in the range from $40K to $50K with all those features except the "ruggedness" would be perfect.

      I hear you, but I can’t blame Kimberley for positioning themselves in the Airstream price bracket. As long as there is a market for it, I think it makes sense for a small, low volume manufacturer.

    beautiful, everything thought of, but it's built for the super outdoors, deer hunter type. First class but wayyy to expensive. For my needs if I wanted that type I might go tent trailer. Beautiful though. The toilet/shower is perfect

    The one thing I would not not in this build (aside from super-off road capabilities) is the diesel heater. Let's just go full electric on everything with all those solar panels in play.

    • @DayHikerFromTheSix
      @DayHikerFromTheSix  4 місяці тому +1

      I believe some V8 4 Runners have 7000 pounds of tow capacity, so it should be a yes for those. 4 Runners with 3500 lb tow capacity are a no, and the 5000 lb rated models are also a no since the GVWR of the trailer is 5500 pounds. Thanks for watching!

    Why can’t any manufacturer in the US make one of these?
    Very nice design - especially with solar!
    $130k - foreign made, no wood.
    Guessing this will need undercoating - maybe - but more insulation underneath…
    Looks good for serious off-road travel but I am not in this league…

    A very good camper trailer
    but way to over price for
    a bumper pull off-road trailer.
    I understand marketing a new
    product into production has a
    very high cost from the start
    and it all even out when there's
    enough of consumer to keep up
    with the cost of production
    and the manufacturing of this
    type of product and accessories.

    • @DayHikerFromTheSix

      I kind of felt the same until I flipped over to the Airstream site and saw MSRP's close to $200K. And if you factor in all the gear (1000 Ah of batteries!, remote reservoir shocks, air suspension, solar panels everywhere, 2 fresh water tanks, etc. etc.) which is all somehow included while still keeping the weight reasonably low. Think of it as the 'Portal Axle Mercedes G-Wagon' of the travel trailer market.

    As long as there is a market and people trying to show off, price will be unreasonable. I doubt there is any other country in the world who has a market for these toys. Here in America things are changing rapidly, the middle class is getting smaller as days goes by, but who knows there is always those who has too much money and no that mutch sense . I wonder what's the cost involve building one.
