We’ll be spending 12 days and a total 5,300 miles towing, camping, cooking, and sleeping in our new overland trailer and in this video we’ll share with you some of the new details about the trailer and show you a couple of the trails and camping spots in both Texas and the Ozark National Forest in Arkansas.

I had a pop up trailer once. I dragged that thing all over into places you never thought it would go. Sold it, bought a travel trailer. Used and abused that for 15 years. Then, I sold it and went back to a tent. None of this matters at all. For some reason I just thought I’d post as I’m getting older I’m going more primitive instead of the other way around.

Thank you Brad and Regina for sharing your initial experience with the new X3. I sold my 2018 X1GT after 3 1/2 years and bought the X3 in April. Recently my wife Maureen and I attended the Keweenaw Overland Adventure Retreat in upper Michigan and had heavy rain and wind 3 0f the 4 days, and the X3 was a much improved experience over the X1GT. love this new X3

Hello Brad & Regina, We’ll as some have already said it’s an expensive undertaking. However, you’ll get a lot of use out of it because this is what you do… I’m a landscape photographer thus I have some expensive camera equipment. Yes an iPhone takes photos, but I can do it a lot better. It’s what I do… If I was in a situation where I traveled full time and lived on the road this would be perfect. In fact I’d love to have a setup such as yours, Jeep 392 X3 trailer the whole shebang… Brad I know you love your coffee. I’ve recently started BP medication thus I’ve avoided coffee for a month. This morning I made myself a pot but I’m limiting myself to a single cup a day. After a month without that single cup tastes so good… Safe travels and enjoy that new trailer

@pat9125 Жыл бұрын

Great video. We've had an X3 for a couple years and still absolutely love it. One tip for you that I noticed. You need to fully raise then lock the awning into place. The awning provides rigidity for the tent and when the tent is set up properly the door zippers work better and the rain will drain without pooling. Thank you for your content as always.

I remember the first 4X4 trailer I ever saw. Back in the early 90's. My friends Highly Modified 2 door CJ7. A converted WWII Jeep military trailer. A $30,000 jeep was a bad ass jeep back then... Times have changed. Another friend in the mid 2000's bought a pop up camper trailer on a 4X4 axle/suspension. Coleman on steroids. He towed it behind his early Jeep JK Rubicon. Times have changed. These camper/trailer options continue to get better,

@d.williamvitt3869 Жыл бұрын

Are they really “better”? Most people drive their Rubicon to campgrounds on paved roads not realizing that a Sport with AT’s due to it having a LSD is actually “better” in that situation because unless you have time to stop and lock a Rubicon’s rear differential is open. That means your highly capable off roader could leave you in the bar ditch on the side of the paved road well before you ever get to drive it off road. No salesman is going to tell you that; but I think influencers should. I love Brads “show” but it’s a show. An enlisted guy in San Diego without outside money isn’t living like this; unless he got there 50 years ago when housing was normally priced. In my practice I see drugs, alcohol and family failure because people can’t “live the dream” despite hard work. Well the reality is we have a military recruitment crisis while everyone is driving vehicles with “1941” pasted in them!

That trailer has more storage than my class B RV. I built an over trailer with RTT, HotTap, 270 awning, large storage box and I'd say I've got close to 20K just in parts. Add in the labor and more features and the total custom build and $58K is definitely a fair price. By all means go to your garage and build one.

Liked the video and great camping site. Love the big fridge. Most rigs of similar size comes with a 40lt fridge at best. I don't remember the channel but saw a group of guys in an expedition to Alaska with that trailer. Awesome. Can you try to get on your hands an Ember ROK Micro Overlander for a few weeks and review it after camping with it several times? Lance had an overlanding prototype a year and a half ago. The model name was the Enduro. Don't know if it is in production yet, but the two things I like about it are it has a full functioning wet bathroom and you can access the fridge from inside. Therefore a snack or cold drink in the middle of the night or on rainy day wasn't a problem. Given both are hard shell, in a rainy day or after a long travel, you don't have to set a tent. Just open the door, and move a few cushions to make the bed.
