Absolutely what it reminds of me….

Was looking for the description. I thought this is very western but that works better.

​@@MrZeewe70Or a large mailbox!

Watch next week’s! (No dinette!) 😉

Lots of things I consider a waste of space you could use for storage: 1. Vanity sink; 2. dinette; 3. open space for open space sake; 4. Lack of overhead storage for openess sake; 5. Failure to optimize under bed storage access from inside and out.

@@mitchjaurena4709 That’s why I constantly push for as many “options” as possible to fit every person’s needs👍because the only time I ever want to sit at a dinette is when I’m reading a menu to order breakfast😂

@@mitchjaurena4709 I agree 100%! I personally would have gone smaller with ours, but had to concede to husband’s comfort 😏 (ex. big shower). And we did create a space for our dogs (which is easily storage as well). But I nixed the dinette, and we both agreed a vanity in the bathroom is silly.

@@walkinharmonyhomestead2888 Another person and dogs would make this camp way too small. In fact, after showing it to friends and family the last week, I found another person in the camp is one too many! However, for one person, there is plenty of room and storage.

You get it! Exactly what I designed it for.

Designed after working out of sheep camps in inclement weather. You got to have a place to dry things off without wetting the rest of the camp. I added a couple of magnetic cupboard hooks to the a-frame of the rack to hang gloves from and a hook above on the wall to hang your hat to dry also.

Yeah. My brothers said that isn't a sheep camp, it is too ritzy. If you can take a shower in it, it no longer qualifies as a sheep camp.

@@mitchjaurena4709 true !

Set up properly, these are a remote camping, boondocker's dream or set up another way the ultimate glamper. The key is you can customize and make it fit your needs, wants, and likes.

I know right

Hinged nose cone that could be raised as a porch roof when stopped.

@@2crazyinalabama Yeah, like a vestibule! Good idea

EXACTLY!

So funny; for us, I (the wife) wanted a smaller camp, but husband insisted it be bigger 😏

this is my camp and I am out in it right now. I got exactly what I wanted, nothing I didn't want and it all works like I imagined. Most of the negative commentors don't have a clue what they are talking about. Let them go buy a poorly constructed toothpick and 1/8th in ply board factory built pos. with slide outs. They will be whining about it in no time..

I bet you love it! I would be very happy with one. Currently looking for now. I love the design and all the customization you can do. Not to mention the quality!

Mary, take a look at an X 26. Not too big, yet the additional inches would make my floor plan plenty spacious for 2 people.

I will check it out. Thanks

You must be from the west?

Thanks. Several years of thought and many years of working out of sheep camps and living in tight spaces aboard ship as a Marine gave me insight on needs, wants and likes.

@@mitchjaurena4709Semper Fi!

Thanks! I tried to make things functional while looking good at the same time, like a fine Spanish Double Barrel Shotgun.

Thank you!

I thought about getting a Kimberly and was really on the fence with it. But the Dwarf, with outside air draw, answers nicely. Having used the stove for the last two days you don't use much wood at all. A Kimberly would be a great idea however .

@@mitchjaurena4709 The Kimberly uses outside air for draft as well. The main difference I've seen is the Kimberly has to use smaller pieces of wood than common.

I have seen them and investigated them thoroughly. What I meant was that this Dwarf Stove does the same, so I went with the Dwarf to be able to use larger chunks. It really was a toss up.

Thanks you for your comment!

Thanks for the comments. I have 40lbs tanks on it. I wanted the extra time between fills as I do extended boondocking. This camp is built for the rough mountains of the West, but would equally be at home in the Tennessee hollars

Thanks!

And will keep you busy swatting flies, wasps and mosquitos! I opted out of it as I have the fantastic fan that pulls an incredible amount of air and can keep it well ventilated. Having lived in sheep camps for REAL growing up, I had to drink an extra quart of water a day just to keep hydrated from the mosquitos LOL.🤣🤣🤣

@@mitchjaurena4709 Good screens make for good neighbors

Give us a call if you have any questions. (435)462-7325

They will turn your plans into reality. Mike does a great job putting things to plans that in turn are constructed by Westons team.

Thank you!

Drop a link for us please.

Not a bad idea 👍

I had a bear just 50 yards down from camp fishing in the river this weekend. When he saw me, he hightailed it out of the area. I think he found me shocking enough!

Sheepherding isn't a group sport.

@@mitchjaurena4709 I pity the sheep lol

He knows where this world is heading and this is his portable bugout camp.

If need be yes.

There is a sewer hose holder underneath the trailer. Just in front or behind the axles…I don’t recall the exact placement on this camp.

the sewer hose tube is just aft of the axles. Works out just fine

Full size mattress

@troypalmer8032 74" x 54" x 10" full size mattress. Thank you for the kind words. I was told I was stuffing 10lbs into a 5lb bag...I prefer to think that, unlike some retail products, I am actually putting a full 5lbs in a 5lb bag.

How does it tow?

Awesome we look forward to your visit. If you could just give us maybe a week or two heads up once you have everything planned out that would be great.

It tows nicely as long as you stay in the 65mph range. More than that and my F250 6.2l gas engine starts to suck down the gas and drops a gear to keep it pulling above 65/70 mph

The rear window is an egress as well…not the preferred method of escape but due to DOT regulations and requirements the lp tanks are required to be on the tongue.

@@peakmountaincamps What are your sidewall construction methods and r values? Nice looking rig btw =)

Framed with 1x4 studs on 24” centers, sheathed with 1/2” maple core laminated on both sides. We then insulate the dead space with 3/4” foam board (R4). Next, we sheath the exterior with either 7/16” OSB or 1/2” CDX, followed by a Tyvek moisture barrier, and finally finish with the aluminum skin. Give you right around a 8-9 r value depending on where you get your information.

Just another reason a door should t be on the front. The layout should be reversed

Please provide any proven examples with supporting documentation you have of that out of the blue and currently unsupported statement.

There is an external feed

Propane is a no go, it'll cause so much dampness you'll be moldy, wet and miserable. Wood keeps you dry and warm plus, you'll never run out.

No, they are not. You would have to spec out that requirment.

Seriously? I figured it would be 90 grand lol

70 grand is what I paid

I have thought about one, but with the other windows and fantastic fan it has adequate ventilation. I spent 3 days with 100 plus degree week days. I have added a small 12vt fan to blow over me near the bed.

Yes, yes it is. Ongi Etorri.

I think you are looking at the input wires from the solar, which are 10 ga and more than adequate. I took an IR scanner/camera to the system while on full solar charge (bulk charging and 600 watts of solar - two 300 watt panels in series), also while all light/power usage was on and there was no indication of over heating or of heat "stress" to the wires. All of the electrical wiring I could see I scanned throughout the trailer and it did not appear to have any overheating. Yes, it appears that the inverter usage isn't being monitored by the shunt, but in my usage it will make little difference as A/C will only be used sporadically and for short periods of time. It is there more for a convenience than for daily usage. What the shunt does for me is provide an accurate battery bank SOC (state of charge) which is sufficient for me to monitor my capacity. Good eyes and thanks for the input.

@@mitchjaurena4709yeah the 10ga going to the hole on the wall is definitely adequate. You can run 1000+ no problem by going up in voltage. The output side of the charger where reads battery is what’s concerning, it looks like it’s hooked up to 14ga or 16ga wire. It actually looks like it’s the wires to feed power to the shunt. At 50amps output to the battery max charge you want at least a 6ga cable from there to the battery.

I love how neat all the plumbing and wiring is done. If you ever have a problem (not as likely as factory builds), you could find and fix it. Factory builds look like a rats nest,lol

@@newenglandrvadventures I crawled around in there and looked and you are correct. It is 14 ga wiring and for a 4ft or less run it should be at least 10 ga (8 ga better) for 14vt @50 amps. I am trying to figure out access and a solution right now. Thanks for your eagle eyed catch. With that ga wire it could be a danger and at a minimum I will not be getting full usage out of my solar setup due to loss.

@@mitchjaurena4709 you’re welcome :)

Half that

Nope. $70,000

Larry, they can make anything you want.

look at 19:10

I am not a little guy and the shower works out fine for me. It is "tightish" but not so much so that you can't move around to get the job done.

​@@mitchjaurena4709 Ok, thank you.

Take a look at my update. If you went with an X-26 (6" wider and 2' longer) you could get more space for a bigger shower, more room at the bed and room for a double recliner and the camp wouldn't be that much bigger on the outside. I chose compact for a variety of reasons, but if you don't need to be as compact as I did, you could expand ever so slightly and make a big difference in the comfort level.

$70,000 Not cheap, but built hell for stout and to my liking. I am sitting on a river in my lounge chair in a remote camp site responding to this question.Life is good

@mitchjaurena4709 are you in need of some company? 😜

You are welcome to join me anytime!

No room for company​@@peakmountaincamps

Tradition, the horses would be in front and the driver would sit inside and drive the horses with the top half of the dutch door open. Or something like that 🤯

I paid $70,000

Have you ever used a pellet stove? They REQUIRE alot of clean electricity to operate. Even the cheaper low tech options like Pelpro. It would be totally impractical in a Camper . You would need a huge generator to create a constant source for the 115VAC power to run the stove.

We rented a house years ago with a pellet stove. I will never own one again, what a pain in the arse. It was actually much more expensive to run.

They put out good heat when you know how to use them. But the things require a huge amount of maintenance and care to burn clean and efficient. Personally I'll take a plain old wood burner any day.

$70,000 is what I paid.

Another eagle eyed spot of an issue. Yes, they were. I fixed that when I got it home. They were too long and they had them trimmed and hemmed up some and whoever stuck them back on did it wrong.

Why are you shouting?

Yep. Read the other responses. Currently Australia is placing extreme restrictions on lithium for use in habitable RVs because of the dangers. Not only do the batteries themselves, but each individual cell in the battery had to be certified. Only one battery in the world meets that requirement. I would rather not be sleeping over lithium batteries. I believe the dangers of lithium are understated. So my choice was to go with some proven AGM batteries.

All about redundancy and compromise. I have a 30l compressor fridge freezer I am running as a freezer. I am tried several options with another trailer I owned and settled on this combination. So far, so good.

At 8600# it wouldn’t matter.

Probably true...but, any camper sucks the fuel

It’s a camp. At least that’s how I’d use it

There is no free lunch. I tow a 32 footer that tips the scales at 11,000 lbs with my super duty and it gets 12 mpg average. Nothing worth pulling and setting up in is going to offer any sort of economy. Car camping is an option for the masochists in the crowd I suppose =)

It's built in the shape of the sheepherder wagons. Those only went as fast as a horse or oxen. 😅

I think the camera exaggerates those items. There really isn't noticeable dings and paint spots looking at it.

Really wasn't an option. This isn't a "wide open space" camp.

Not according to DOT regulations

I don't watch TV at home, don't watch it when I am I the field. Purposely left out.

Who the hell wants to go to Texas when you already live in God's country? just say'in......

@@mitchjaurena4709 I predict you are gonna want an a/c. It gets hot up there too somtimes.

@@tommyd6621 Nope, don't need or want it. I have done 100 plus temps in my other trailer and didn't have an A/C in it. Same with this trailer. 98 degrees during the day for 3 days last week and got along just fine. The high desert cools off quickly and the high country even more so. Super hot days are a rarity and when they come, like an old dog, I look for a shady spot and take a nap. I was hoping you would respond with the Davy Crockett quote: “You may all go to hell and I will go to Texas.” Davy Crockett LOL

@@mitchjaurena4709 Lol - well good luck my friend. I like that trailer tho. The wood burner is awesome. Hope it goes great for you. Take care!

It doesn't help, but not horrible. In comparison, I get 8.9 mpg at 70/75 mph towing a R-Pod (4000lb fully loaded) and 7.1 mpg at 65/70 towing this camp (9,500 fully loaded). But if gas cost was a driving factor I wouldn't be owning a F-250 6.2l gas rig towing this camp either. If you want to go cheap, this isn't the rig for you.

@@mitchjaurena4709 -- Who said anything about cheap? It's not a question of being cheap it's a question of design. Thanks for showing your ignorance. If you had a more aerodynamic design people would be able to achieve much better fuel milage with towing and you would most likely sell a lot more units for that reason alone. Then you could afford a big boy truck with a diesel engine in it and get even better milage. I actually thought you did a pretty good job with the interior space and with the added storage spaces on the outside of the camper. Good luck to you, my friend. In my estimation you're going to need it in the highly competitive camper market.

@@jamesbass9797 You are kidding right? More aerodynamic design won't translate to "much better fuel milage" on a 8600 lb camper. Also unless you are towing something all the time, by the time you factor in the higher purchase and maintenece costs for a diesel pickup truck, and the higher cost for fuel, your payback will never be achieved beffore the vehicle is worn out. I have a 2004 2/4 ton Chevy Suburban with a 496 cui gas engine. I get 11-12 mpg highway empty and 8 mpg towing a 8000+ lb camper. Yea I know I'd get better mpg with a Duramax but forking over an extra $30K for it buys a lot of gasoline that's between 50 cents to a dollar cheaper per gallon than diesel to buy. As for the campers they build these days, you couldn't give me one, they'll all built like crap, with the possible exception of this brand, to me it looks like it's built like a tank and will take about anything you throw at it. $70 K for this particular unit is certainly higher than what you'd pay for something of similar size from the usual manufacturers. However 10 years from now they'll be in the junk yard and this one will just be getting broke in.

@@brianlangum6253 -- You have your opinion and I have mine. I have a 2023 F-450 with the 6.7 under the hood. I'm dragging around a 2019 DRV that weights in at 18k dry. On average I get between 13 to 15 mpg out of my truck. That is a far cry higher than your 8 mpg dragging 8k lbs. I'm not going to sit here and go through long division just to prove a point to you or anyone else on how much it costs for me to pay for fuel in a year. You want to know then you can figure it out yourself. I for one couldn't care less about it. I have the money to pay for it and I also do almost all my maintenance on my truck so my cost there are at a minimum. Practically costs. As for my DRV, I've had it now for almost 5 years and really not had any real issues with it and in my opinion, it is almost as good today as the day I bought it. I've put at least 50k miles on the camper with my travels. Try that with your 8k lb whatever it is you pull around. I seriously doubt you can make the same claim. I seen nothing in this video that would lead me to even remotely believe your claim of this trailer being in excellent condition in 10 years. lmao ... Now that is a truck load of BS and you damn well know it. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaa

@brianlangum6253 very well said.

😂

Well, Like a lot of things, everyone has got one.

@@MySledgeHammer Spot on. This guy builds great camps with pride in his work. It shows through in the videos, which some slick-a**ed production would never show and is a huge selling point on its own.

It is true, both production and marketing are important,
