Love the fact it's tank less/maintenance/problem free, shwr., w/privacy & portable toilet, cooking options, pass thru kit. easy care/clean! no $ listed, but I think the base price was reasonable, too!
There's a big difference between camping in dry cold, and wet cold conditions - especially after a long day. Here in the PAC NW I have several friends with van conversions that use either Truma or Propex heaters. After a long day out in marginal, or poor conditions (most of the winter), they come back to their rigs and get gear and bodies fully dried out in a couple of hours - with no danger of asphyxiation. Today's campers are getting better at blending fair weather luxuries with fowl weather functionality. But most trendy manufacturers have focused mainly on big tires, articulating hitches and solar panels. This Bean Stalker is one of the best I've seen to date. But for 4 season use in cold, wet climates - give me a good heater to dry body and gear, so I can do it again tomorrow! Thanks Bean!! ; ))
All of our trailers, except Stalker, have a plumbed propane system and we offer the Truma VarioHeat and it is fantastic(quiet and efficient)! Part of the design criteria for Stalker was to reduce manufacturing cost without sacrificing construction( keeping one piece molded fiberglass shell). Eliminating the propane and water system saved manufacturing costs. Unless you are camping consistently with night time lows in the 20s or lower, I think you can get by without a forced air heater in Bean. We camped last weekend in Stalker in the Unitas and it was in the mid 30s and it was raining( you can see the mud in our IG photos) and we did not miss the heater. We used the Electrowarmth T36 12V blanket with Thermostat control. It is efficient at 6 amps and I had to get up twice in the middle of the night to turn it down. it also dries out moisture and heats the air in Bean. Is it as nice as the Varioheat System in our other Beans? No. Did we suffer without it? No. If you are a wimp, like me, and you are not going to camp if it is in the 20's, you can get by with a good 12V blanket.
@@mark-di5pf HAHAHA! Awessome Mark. I love that you guys are thinking this way. And I appreciate the generous response. LOVE the Bean Stalker too! Pretty perfect. Nice work you guys!
This is great tear drop design. Terrific balance between providing a pleasurable outing, but not needless frills and overhead. Love the no sink. Love the removing the cubbies that are too small to really hold anything and provided more head room. Love the electronic system with the inverter. I've been imagining my ideal self build, and it's almost exactly with this in mind (but I'm imagine the Bean team can do it much more competently)
You all are going to sell a boatload of those. They hit all the right marks for a lot of people. Will need to plan our trip to Colorado/Utah next summer to take delivery of one of these for sure.
Thankyou for the deep dive and walkthrough. Way outta my price range but well thought out and executed. It would be nice and useful to connect/daisy chain that outdoor inverter powered receptacle to another one inside the trailer. Just a thought. Love how basic yet functional that galley cooking area without holding tanks and that wok looking cooking vessel is brilliant. Well done Team Frijoles!!
The perfect blend of funtion and form! Nice work! 4 season camping would require a heater. That;s the only thing (missing) that would elevates this rig to a 4 season tool. Keep up the amazing work Bean!

Probably could add one easily! It does seem like these have insanely good insulation qualities. I've been researching them for a few weeks now and I've heard that a lot about them. @@mattdelcomyn8012
Maybe the aluminum cnc guys and engineers could come up with a design for racks to hold the water tank a few inches above the rack out sinks . They mount just like the descata mounts , gravity feed after one or both tanks are lifted once at camp ? Maybe a place to carry extra O2 when that trip requires?
Well outfitted unit. A couple of things…it seems an off road trailer (less access to shore power) should have the solar option as a standard item to extend battery life. Also, why do away with the front window? The solar panel could serve as protection for the window and then be moved when camping.
Hey! Those cutting boards were my idea. Wish I had waited. This is a terrific design. Although it's gotta be over $35k. I'll stay happy with our bean stock. We've taken it plenty of crazy places and it has not let us down.
@@mark-di5pf I didn't see the price on it. I was guessing based on what we paid for ours. Still think I prefer our Bean stock though. Only feature I would want is the cutting board insert for my sink.
@@viceb7the Bean stock for one has very little hanging off it to catch on things. We even removed the gas hose and stabilizers. We mostly off road with ours. The less to get torn off by a tree, rock or root the better. We never use our sink as a sink. I have a portable pump system and find a nearby rock. I like having the two burner stove. But if we were mostly campground camping, I would ditch propane for an induction burner. Still not sold on a 12V fridge. But, eventually, I'll get one.
Great walk thru. My favorite is the simple galley. I don’t want a sink or the capacity to “hold” water with the trailer. That is a headache for us. I don’t even need a stove. I have several. I don’t like cooking close to everything anyway. Really like the options for frig/cooler. Can a kayak be carried on the roof racks? Do you hear complaints about claustrophobia? Thanks again.
This would have been great 45 years ago. I'm too old now. All you young healthy folks, this should be the trailer that gets you out of a tent in the winter.
You can get most of what's shown here for around $29,000 :) Give us a call or email and we'll send you the Stalker pricing sheet. 844-770-7036 sales@beantrailer.com
Love love love this trailer!!! As a short mexican lady can we get the air suspension for this one? Add extra windows if we would want? Can still hold any rtt? Thanks for ur time! Lol if not no big deal i can use a stool 😅
You can get the Stalker with the Timbren suspension without 2" lift but not the air suspension. That would put the galley at a better height for you. You can get a second window.

How much does this weigh? It's a little more than we were wanting to spend, but this set up is so perfect! I suppose we could always save for one more year! Lol

What I like about this trailer is “it’s just enough” without all the extra stuff I basically didn’t want or need. Bravo Zulu
This is our intention! Thanks for the feedback :)

No heater required. We've camped in a Bean in freezing temps. It warms up quickly even with it being ventilated.

What I've been waiting for! Loved it at Mnt West
So excited for this model, thanks Bean Team!
It's been a huge hit upon release! :) Thanks for sharing!
Would like to see the flat "stand on" fender as an option.
Exactly how I would want this trailer! Nice video!
Glad we were able to meet in the middle on this one :)

Wowww. I LOVE this!!
one thing in my thoughts is bigger water jugs or can I get the next size up × 2...often than that is the trailer is perfect..
This would have been great 45 years ago. I'm too old now.
All you young healthy folks, this should be the trailer that gets you out of a tent in the winter.
I hope you can still go camping Wes ❤
@@viceb7 some, not like I used to.
Does your team sell that discada mount separately?
I wanna know what pickup truck that is…options on it, etc. Looks perfect with the Stalker!
Looks like a Colorado zr2 with a pop up tent on the back, those trucks are awesome. I had one for awhile I wish I didn't sell
Looks like a good build. Would have been nice in the video if you stated base price and as-built price for the model shown.
You can get most of what's shown here for around $29,000 :) Give us a call or email and we'll send you the Stalker pricing sheet.

Are the roof rails easily removable to get the 83 inch clearance? Would need to garage it. Very cool trailer 😊
How much for the one you are displaying?
Do the door s have screens?

And how much is the bean stalker?
How much does it weigh?
It’s looks great how much it’s cast?
I wish it came in all black. Or a color close to that.
Simple is better when there’s some serious camping to do.
Everything you need and nothing you don't.
What is the starting price basic ? Anybody
Why don't you put extra solar panels right on top of the roof?
I don't see this rig listed on your website?!? thx

2000 lbs
Is the bed a full 60X80 queen or RV queen bed?
It's a true 60x80 queen mattress.
Looks great! Hits a lot of features we were considering. Is there a spare wheel somewhere?
spare is an option
@@mark-di5pf where does it mount?
@@pmatheson418 passenger side wall.
Is this on your website somewhere. I don’t see a “bean stalker” anywhere?

So no electrical outlets or USB ports inside the trailer?
Mark, said he ran an electric blanket inside, so I was wondering the same thing.
I am jealous of the front storage box. Can that be retrofitted on a Mean Bean?
Sorry, no it cant.
What is that above his head, attached to the galley overhead door?
a lighting/speaker system we are testing.
Spare tire?
available as an option
If you already have a fridge and stove are you able to not have those items included and reflected in the price?
Give us a call or email and we'll send you the Stalker pricing sheet.

couple of things I'm missing...roof vent, and where do you carry your portable toilet
has a standard 4 speed roof fan and the portable toilet stores in the front box.
Using the discada in the galley - perhaps an L shape vertical device that fits into the receiver, parallel to the counter with a discada mount……
It would be nice if they would design a trailer that a 2 door Jeep could pull! Too heavy and too expensive
overpriced by about 10K
