DIY Travel Trailer: First Trip!
Рет қаралды 784,144
Күн бұрынThis is the first inaugural camping trip in the DIY Travel Trailer! In all, we travelled 700+ miles in the DIY Travel Trailer and believe it or not... nothing broke! The solar panels and 12v system were able to keep the Dometic cooler, charging station and led lights all in full operation during the whole trip! No leaks or any repairs were needed either.... but I did take about 40lbs of extra tools, screws, tapes, glues, etc,.... just incase I needed to repair something along the way;)
We are super thankful that all went smoothly and we were able to enjoy the trailer after quite a long build. And very thankful for you guys watching this build progress from a used axle all the way to a travel trailer. Join us as we do our normal camping activities.... fishing, foraging, campfire cooking, meadow golf, relaxation and more!
Thanks for watching and please let me know if you have any questions! - Joe

It's great to see kids having fun outdoors again! In the old days (1970s), we climbed trees, dammed up rivers, made bridges, built tree forts, caught frogs and turtles, went fishing, and launched our bikes over home made ramps ala Evel Knievel. This was a very refreshing video to watch. Thank you for sharing. The kids in my neighborhood rarely step outside of the home.

ps wanted to add that you should watch some you tube videos on how NOT to load your camper trailer so that it does not fish tail (not sure if that is the proper word) while driving at higher speeds. There are many you tube videos with actual examples & models to show what happens when you load to much in the rear part of your camper. Safe travels. Thank you for your comment. take care.

Nothing against tent camping. I've been doing for 40+ years. However, sleeping indoors, with all the comforts of home while in the wild, is pretty darn amazing.

Thanks John! What a great trip we had and it was such a nice relief in this bigger project to be able to enjoy it versus work on it. I've tent camped my whole life... except for this trip. And I've always enjoyed it greatly as well... but it was nice to have a mattress to sleep on;) I also enjoy backpack camping too, so tents and tarps will never be too far from me either. But for these trips and road trips where we might stay at a place for just a night and move on... the trailer will make for a nice travel partner for sure! :)

For such a small trailer, great interior room. Takes me back to the 1958 Scotsman 15 foot. Not very fancy, hand pump to 10 gal. freshwater tank. no DC lights, and a propane gas light over the dining table. Great work. Love seeing eastern AZ as I live near Prescott and have only camped in this area. First pulled a trailer in 1959 at age 17.
