This was fun - thank you! Although I have looked at them over the years, I am not a teardrop camper but I still enjoyed this "tour" of the owners and their modifications. How inventive they are! I am surprised at how many people did practically the exact same change-outs and that the manufacturer has not yet decided to incorporate those into the builds. How silly of them not to have already done, among others: - Heat & A/C directional placements - Side awning & rear kitchen awning design for rain diversion - Kitchen right side modifications & electric placement - Screening receiving channel (and the magnetic screen) Again, thanks for the tour and happy travels to all the participants!
Hi, I have camped in on spot made survival shelters, tents and for the past two years I have the 2021 bushwacker 15 fk, I have camped with full service and off grid for a couple of days last year it was a 4 day off grid, one day with service for three weeks. This year now that I have a bluetti 1500 I am going for the full three weeks off grid! Can’t wait!
Yes I have in addition to my bluetti a 100 watt deep cycle ( not lithium) battery and a suitcase 100 watt solar panel with integrated charge controller. I don’t think we will need more than that as we live pretty much outside when we camp. Which is the aim of camping I think.
Awesome video! I don't have a Bushwhacker trailer but I have a small square drop camper and I really enjoyed all the tips and mods that the owners have done to their rigs.
Great recap of 2022. Class act with great content, although the accessories are costing me a fortune lol. Appreciate the inspiration, keep making the great content.
some very great ideas going on with all these setups, I am new to this teardrop trailering and am still looking at them and looks like the wood teardrops are very easy to do mods..cheers..
Thanks for watching. Yes, the ability to mod the trailer is a major factor for some teardrop owners. I like that you can spend thousands on upgrades and still be under the price of most teardrops on the market.
Awesome content🎉 cheers to your inspiring videos. Can’t wait to get my teardrop camper soon. Hope to see more of your awesome camper tours. Thank you so much.
Great video! I love spending time outdoors too. If you're looking for reliable outdoor gear and backup power products, I highly recommend the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series. It offers massive capacity, fast recharging, and versatile sockets. Plus, it's built tough and waterproof. Check it out!
2nd time going through the video as I am looking at 2 different types of teardrop trailers. 1) rhe BEAN teardrop for their simplicity. 2) TC. teardrop to do some deep mods.
@@DIYOutdoorLife Haha! Well, yes, I do, but I'm pretty sure that's not gonna pass muster with the better half. She loves our smallish Class C with the handy-dandy bathroom. But I have been winter dreaming about something for solo adventures. That's the next discussion....
I think a lot of people do, I definitely saw a bunch with TVs. A lot of IPADs and tablets for sure because they can be put on a stand and then packed away. Smart TVs are pretty nice though.
Great job! My dream life! I wonder if anyone has a home on wheels for a good price for a college bound student leaving parents house. I am looking for vans the size of ups/fedex to hobby up a bedroom discreetly in.
Hey I want to go to one of those meetups! Those look like a blast. What else did you do other than look at each others campers. LOL How do I find out more information about going to them? Can any camper go?
Hey James, I’d have to see what’s happening, I use mine without any problems. Although it’s not as solid as with the jack bolted down, I’m a little more careful and can roll the camper around like before. Is your jack tilted?
@@DIYOutdoorLife hi again. No the jack is straight up and down, and side to side. It works great with the sand pads. My wheel is like a grocery cart caster. Which the wheel axle is off the center line of the jack, causing it to tilt the jack.
I hope someone chimes in, I don't have the exact measurements right now, but it is an "RV queen". It is essentially a slightly smaller version of a traditional queen size mattress, I still use queen size sheets.
@@DIYOutdoorLife I am '6"5 so I am curious as to how I will fit. I just sold my Intech Persue. I have been looking at Intech Lunas but I do like the "blank canvas" these Bushwackers have like the Pursue does.
@@Rattles02 I have met some very tall folks that stay in the Bushwhacker. The cabinet above your head remove with just a couple screws, this seems to be the preferred mod. Once that cabinet is removed, you achieve 6 to 8 more inches of bed space. Some have stuck at pad in there, some have just slid the mattress up.
He's pumping the Bushwhacker megamix!
Lol
ah, nice compilation - look at that organization of all the product links!!!
Haha… it cut the characters down or there would have been more!
This was fun - thank you!

We're also surprised, I was tempted to buy a few and make the modifications and resell them... lol

Nice addition, did you get some solar yet?

Wonderful to see all the mods and personalization that people do to their campers! I will definitely steal some of these ideas!
I know I did! I enjoyed watching them all again, I pick something new up each time.
Awesome video! I don't have a Bushwhacker trailer but I have a small square drop camper and I really enjoyed all the tips and mods that the owners have done to their rigs.
Thank you for watching! Tomorrows video is on a square drop, what do you have?
@@DIYOutdoorLife I have a My Mini Trailer, 5x8 foot. It's all decked out with many options.
@@photogr4u nice! I’ve seen some of them on the road, people love them.
Great recap of 2022. Class act with great content, although the accessories are costing me a fortune lol. Appreciate the inspiration, keep making the great content.
Thanks for watching! It really can get pricey looking at camping mods… I gotta have them all
These are so incredibly adorable. I call them babies. Little sugar babies. Mine is a promaster 159
Haha... sometimes good things come in small packages..

Can't wait to take delivery on my 17FD. Thinking about letting my grand daughter apply her own artwork to the interior.
That sounds like it’s gonna be awesome, keep me in the loop. Congratulations!

Manufacturers should be Made to use their own products!
I agree, you would think that that would be a win-win for them too
2nd time going through the video as I am looking at 2 different types of teardrop trailers.
1) rhe BEAN teardrop for their simplicity.
2) TC. teardrop to do some deep mods.
Both really nice trailers, big money though!
@@DIYOutdoorLife yes I know and I have to convert it to Canadian money, boys and our toys..
my wife tells me I nuts with my toys..
Great! Now all I need is a Bushwhacker! Hahaha! 😄
Haha… want mine? LoL
@@DIYOutdoorLife Haha! Well, yes, I do, but I'm pretty sure that's not gonna pass muster with the better half. She loves our smallish Class C with the handy-dandy bathroom. But I have been winter dreaming about something for solo adventures. That's the next discussion....
I love it!
Me too!
I find it strange nobody puts TV's in their Bushwhacker. I did. But it rains a ton here in Western Washington.
I think a lot of people do, I definitely saw a bunch with TVs. A lot of IPADs and tablets for sure because they can be put on a stand and then packed away. Smart TVs are pretty nice though.
Why waste space with a (big) TV when tablets & laptops that can be 15" to 17" and all smart phones snuggle in so nicely?
@@dross24MA Bigger the better!
@@r.r.hughes9808 HAHahaha! Touche
Me and my husband love watching u can't wait to see more from u we have a UA-cam channel also called Touring and Trials
Thanks for swinging by, I love that ranger! I was considering a ranger for the next tow vehicle.
Nice backdrop. Very innovative. I’m hoping you quit your day job and started a business? I sure would buy!
I would love to be able to make UA-cam for a living, not yet... lol
Being from the PNW I am just not used to muddy river or lake water so now I live in Oklahoma and there’s just lots of muddy lakes and rivers…
Im with you, only after heavy rains.
I would like to watch how to load up! I’m doing research with mid SUV hybrid
Do you mean connecting to the tow vehicle or actually packing up to go camping?
Nice!!!!!?
That’s a lot of mods..lol
Great job! My dream life! I wonder if anyone has a home on wheels for a good price for a college bound student leaving parents house. I am looking for vans the size of ups/fedex to hobby up a bedroom discreetly in.
I'm excited for you, you should be able to find a decently priced rig. Keep us in the loop.
Hey I want to go to one of those meetups! Those look like a blast. What else did you do other than look at each others campers. LOL How do I find out more information about going to them? Can any camper go?
Haha…yes!!!
Can you share dates and location for the SE meet up… we gotta start plugging it
PLEASE organize something for the West to Midwest. I am in Utah and all the fun camp-outs seem to happen in the East.
@@mkkrafts9261 there’s one In Minnesota… 😀
On the first video of Steve’s teardrop, what type of a/c is on there?
I'm not sure which one that is, I played it back a couple times, I'll see if I can reach out and ask
I have a question about the jack-e-up. How do you use the wheel? Mine tilts the jack making the wheel unusable.
Hey James, I’d have to see what’s happening, I use mine without any problems. Although it’s not as solid as with the jack bolted down, I’m a little more careful and can roll the camper around like before. Is your jack tilted?
@@DIYOutdoorLife hi again. No the jack is straight up and down, and side to side. It works great with the sand pads. My wheel is like a grocery cart caster. Which the wheel axle is off the center line of the jack, causing it to tilt the jack.
@@jameshubbard7965 are you using the double wheel one that I recommended in the video about moving a trailer by hand?
Wow that a/c will turn u into an eskimo 😅
Brrr... lol 🥶
The first one seems just crazed. So, you tell me you have bolted heat directly above your rubber tire.
Does the tire melt? 😊
No melting, doesnt even get warm to the touch. The heat rises and its a good distance away.
@@DIYOutdoorLife Huh. I see.
Can anyone tell me how big/long the sleeping area is on a Bushwacker 10HD?
I hope someone chimes in, I don't have the exact measurements right now, but it is an "RV queen". It is essentially a slightly smaller version of a traditional queen size mattress, I still use queen size sheets.

@@DIYOutdoorLife cool. I’m going to look at a Bushwacker next week. If that doesn’t work I’m just grabbing the Intech Luna I found.
