Amazing video mate! Keep it up, big ups from one of your form students!
Thanks for the positive feedback Teto. Im loving getting into this all and its great for family memories.
looks like a great setup, the Kings product is pretty good for its price, keep the top vids happening
Hi Rolly
Just reading your comment and I totally agree the kings products are pretty good for the price. I j have done reviews on a number of their products and recommend them. I’m thinking of buying the trailer as I’m planning the big trip and have set my Hilux up for it and deciding if I need a trailer or just the set up I have designed.
Cheers

I bought the BCF all for adventure cooker/frying pan thing and man what a beast, chucked my other cookers to the shit house.. slim design easy to cart around, cooks anything, would fit spot on with ya kitchen setup
Hi Mick,
Just reading your comment on the cooker.
I’ll have to go and have a look as I have minimal space in my canopy and always looking how to save room and weight.
If I get I’ll do a review and let you know my thoughts
Cheers

It looks like a decent trailer for the price. Be following for updates on its longevity. Well done, good video 👍
Yeah, its going well so far, Ill be uploading a trip vid this afternoon and it features, check it out.
Hey Darryl,
Agree they look good for the price.
I’m a fan of kings products and have done a number of reviews and only had 1 problem which was replaced same day I went to store.
Cheers

Subbing as waiting on your update before shortlisting for myself. I do like the size though, looks easy to whip around.
Hey Mate, its been great so far. Ive towed it around 15000kms on all kinds of terrain. Easy to back and tow. Thanks for the sub. Appreciate the support.
Hi Troy.
If you ended up getting one can you let me know your thoughts. I’m a kings fan and have a number of their products and have done reviews.
I’m not sure if I need or want one for trip around oz. I’ve set my canopy up for the trip so not sure if I need more space and weight.
Interested in your thoughts
Cheers

Yeh, I havent decided yet either!! Havent had much chance to get away yet either. Damn life getting in the way!
Was gonna get one but decided on a low km MDC Jackson FF. Much better value for money.
Nice choice, the kings was good though. Ive got a new hybrid now.
I reckon that trailer would be good to build upon considering some trailers costs just as much as a 24ft caravan these days.
I’d start upgrading with better quality stuff where needed. Kings isn’t the worst but it’s not far from it in terms of brand name camping gear but the trailer chassis itself looks pretty tough
It was actually awesome little trailer. Went anywhere, easy tow and quality was good.
Good on you for covering the cost...most don’t
Yeah, that's the plan on my review's. I've found it a little annoying when people don't. I'm only new to this so thanks for the feedback and please subscribe if you haven't. Cheers
Great vid, thanks for that
editing vise, music was a louder than your voice. no biggie but i found myself turning up the volume to hear you
Thanks for the feedback. Ive been working on audio. Im a spud but enjoying the procees
Cheers for the video, 4wdsupacentre weren’t answering my comments on there vids
No worries, ask away. Ive only given it 2 runs so far but will be uploading heaps more as I use it more. So far all good.
Question with the front box is it lockable? Can’t find any info online and can’t seen clearly if it is or isn’t on videos, also great video mate we are picking ours up in November and it was great to see an independent review not associated with kings🤙🏼
Hey, thanks for the support, You can padlock the latch.
Hey Kaitlin,
Just read your question.
Did you end up getting one and how have you found it?
I’m a kings fan and have done a number of reviews on the products I have.
I’m wondering if I need/want one of these for the big trip or if my canopy set up will do the job.
Cheers

Mate, I recon not having an inbuilt cooker is the best way to go. All the campers with gas cookers, what do they do when the wind is ripping in making the cooking a nightmare, or impossible. With this camper you just move your cooking to a side out of the wind. I've owned a top of the line Patriot camper, a $75k Mountain Trail camper but I'm going for one of these as I think it's way better for my type of camping.
Thanks Outback Jack, so far Im loving it. Ill keep you in the loop.
Hey mate, Patriot stoves are not built in at all. You can literally lift them out and use them anywhere. We do this a fair bit. However the old Bromic ones are useless if you breathe on them. The new Dometic one looks much better. But yeah, for price, this thing is a beauty.
@@DANIELMcCOY01 yeah, I had the Bromic stove. It was ok in no wind but very limited in the ability to take it out to move to the other side when we had wind. I agree that for the price the MT1 looks the goods. I guess I'll know in a few months.
Hey Outback Jack,
Just read your comment and found it interesting.
Im a fan of kings products and have done reviews on them.
Im trying to find the an induction cooktop under 1800w as that’s the size of my inverter.
Cheers
Out There Touring
@Out There Touring I bought a cheapie induction from bunnings. Can't recall the brand but it works in the Kings 2kw inverter
I have been looking at getting ones these, the construction is pretty decent but as for the electrical system kings is hit and miss in that department so if a did get this camper I would be replacing it with are Red Arc RedVision Manager30 Kit with are REDARC 2000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter.
Thanks for the feedback, haven't had any problems with the electrical system as yet. Ill let you know how it goes over time.
Thanks for sharing, mate. I hope you will do more follow ups with how this trailer goes - especially if you get to put it through some rugged terrain. I am thinking of getting one, too. It seems like a go-anywhere trailer and I am guessing the setup time at camp is pretty quick.
Thanks for the comment Matt, definitely will be featuring in video's often. I've just returned from a beach off road trip and it performed really well and setup is lightning fast. Thanks again for the feedback, I'm only new to this so please subscribe if you haven't already. Cheers
Hi Matt,
Agree would like to know how it holds up as I’m planning the big trip and have set my Hilux up for it and deciding if I need a trailer or just the set up I have designed.
Cheers

@@ottouring I bought one shortly after this video and it is fantastic. Very rugged. Spacious. So easy to modify. I have used it for camping in forests, on mountaintops and at the beach. I have dragged it across Fraser Island twice so far. If I was going around Australia, my preference would not be to tow, though. I would put a slide on camper on the back of a ute. If you need extra room, though, the MT1 is brilliant and especially for the price. I have the Kings Mk3 rooftop tent mounted on it which is awesome and I have a Supa-peg wrap around awning. Total time to set up camp is a leisurely ten minutes or five if racing around. LOL.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for quick response.
I have a full setup canopy and just been speaking with a mate who just finished the big lap and he towed a trailer and similar thoughts.
My canopy is geared for the trip and will possibly just do that.
Have a look at my setup and give feedback.

Cheers for feedback

Have a look at my kings rooftop tent review for adding a fan and light
Cheers

Liked and subscribed, great review. It’s a year later, interested whether it stood the test of time so far mate?
Hey Mate, thanks for the support. I have actually sold the MT1. It was great I took it through some tough tracks and went perfect no issues. I only sold it because we needed something bigger.
Hey mate how do u find the weights with your gear in and accessories? seems yo be very close even over the 1500 atm just with accessories pack and the roof top tent.
Hi Chris, the weight was still under 1.5t fully loaded with water. We have recently sold ours, it was awesome we are just looking for something bigger now.
Yeah cool but the MDC Modbox is a little ripper and more compact. Great for a single or couple.
I haven't seen those ones. Pretty happy with the kinds so far. Going strong, thanks for the support.
Nice video thank you. It would be good if you could try and normalise the volume in your post production. Your voice is very quiet compared to the music bites you cut in so when you turn the volume up to hear you well and then your music bits play its very loud.
Thanks for the feedback, Ive been working on Audio recently. At this stage I was filming on phone and portable microphone. Got a rode microphone now. Hopefully getting better. Cheers again for following.
@@TwoCrabsAdventures No problems hey. Perhaps there is some auto levelling feature /plugin in the video editing platform you're using which can normalise the various audio clips you have. Appreciate the content. I should have one of these soon so I'm enjoying watching your vids.
Do you reckon if they had a flat lid on the front box, you could turn your tent around to create a walk up set up?
Yeah possibly, steps could be drawbar, box to rooftop. Nice idea. As it is, its really easy and the ladder is quality. Thanks for the comment.
Hey,
What a great idea. I just seen a ad for hard korr trailer which had that sort of set up.
Cheers

12 months on, wondering how it has held up?
Anything you would do different in the setup?
Hi Stu, We have actually sold it. It was an absolute legend of a little camper, we just need something bigger for the family as not keen on the little ones sleeping in swags just yet.
Looks a bit like the layout of the dot trailers drifta used to make?
Yeah Similar I think. Thanks for the comment.
How's it holding up now mate? It's the box trailer layout I'm after but I'm sceptical about kings build quality
Hey Mate, firstly thanks for the support, its still going well. The only issue is the water tank plug. Im going to be making a video about it soon.
Hey Jason.
Just reading your comment about kings stuff. I’ve purchased a lot of their products and doing reviews. Only had one fault and that was the hot water system, I returned it and it was replaced on the spot no dramas. Best service ever.
Cheers
Out There Touring
Any chance of an update after using the trailer for the last year?
Hey Mate, it actually went great. We have sold it now due to increasing our family size. I took it on some pretty good tracks and absolutley no issues.
im building much the samething except mines going to be out of aluminium. loaded and ready to go its going to weigh 900kgs or around there from what iv calculated. i do like the MT1 from kings dont get me wrong but 1000kgs tare for a camper is ridiculous and if i wasnt building my own id probably still buy one. definetly better then the black series patron i used to own.
Yeah the little MT1 was great, Due to family getting bigger I had to go bigger with a new van. GOod luck with your build and thanks for the support
Hi Twocrabsadventure.
How are you going with the kings trailer after 12 months or so, is it holding up ?
Buy the way some good vids you got 👍
Hey Mate, we have actually sold it. It was a great little camper but we are looking at getting something bigger. Wehad zero problems with it and took it out often.
Hey Ian,
Just read your comment and agree with great content.
Cheers
Out There Touring
Any update on the durability 4 months later?
So far its been great, we have taken it offroad 4 times no issues. Really easy on setup and packup. Thanks for the support Michael!
Would be better off buying a second hand, better quality trailer for the same price. You’ll lose less money in the long run.
Did you look at drifter trailers mate
Yeah mate, I love drifra products, especially their new clothing. Also Im all for Aussie made and they Re one of the last onss. The hardest thing is....Im a normal family guy. Boat coming and second car... all for the price of an Aussie trailer.
Drifta trailers are double the price
How has it been?
It was great, I have sold it now due to buying a bigger van. Howevere the MT1 was awesome, light really easy to use our family just got bigger.
20k holy shit could have gotten an mdc forward fold for less and their been around a lot longer
Yeah, looked at them. This suit us better. Dont like all the canvas setup. Prefer a rtt. So far really impressed with the kings
Yea I had a MDC Robson XTT (top of the range camper) and while it was great having all that extra stuff I would much prefer the smaller ones like this as it will actually go where your vehicle can go. Most the cost on these is the suspension $5k right there so assuming a $5k std on road box trailer + $5k suspension you then start adding up the other bits. These are well priced considering. DO35 hitch alone is like $450. Roof tent $2300... now your at $13k before factoring in any other swing out/flip out bits and then electrical wiring and batteries that come with it etc. Seems about right to me. Bigger doesn't always mean better value. Chinese canvas is worth nothing in reality. To be perfectly honest my MDC trailer started to rust in parts and while all the "quality" looks were there. You could tell it was lots of glam done with cheap materials and parts. I did pay $26k for it back in 2018 and its a lot more trailer being a double fold however the mattress was still a concrete slab that needed replacing, the batteries were some generic AGM 200ah worth but in reality prob 100ah, the boat rack rusted and filled with water the checker plate exterior seemed to dull fast compared to quality tool boxes supposedly made of the same stuff, the stainless steel sink corroded with morning fresh detergent? so factoring in all that stuff. As long as the Kings trailer has good Quality Control and warranty. I think its a good buy.
@@dvast87 so far so good, taken it on 7 trips now. Tows well will keep everone in the loop.
need to get a mic my dude
Nup, no cooker is a good idea. More bench space.
Cheers mate, thanks for the support
Fair play to ya. No fxxking way would I drop that coin on a Kings trailer.
Is always a risk. So far cant fault it and ive tested it out pretty hard.
Kings get a bad wrap from their earlier products, they are much better these days. I have their Big Daddy swag and no issues, also have their 1500w inverter which is faultless & drawer system that is great. I just with they changed their logo, it’s hideous colour
I got you to 994 lol
Legend, almost at the 1k
Most of Kings stuff is Cheap crap not worth buying, you might save money when buying from them initially but nothing will last long and you will end up forking out extra $$$$ to replace. Better of buying better Quality gear from other shops and stay clear of kings
Agree mostly, the camper was good while I had it.
