After 10 years wow it still looks great

I really like the amount of room this camper has.

I can't believe that I'm just seeing this now!.. If I ever had an excuse for getting a motorcycle this is it!. Love it!.

Have towed one from Kansas to Nevada, Utah, Az. and never know its there. Staying at State Parks usually Costs $6.00 a night, VS hotels/motels from $65-$100. or more. Did upgrade the Cam in my soft tail after one trip carrying my wife, T bag, and the trailer made it more difficult to maintain 70 mph climbing the Rockies. Other than that every where I go people gather around in wonder that I can haul it with my bike. Love not sleeping on the ground anymore.

I owned one for about seven years. We took it about twenty to thirty thousand kilometers a year around North America. We crossed the Arctic Circle a couple times, both in Alaska and the NWT's. and went coast to coast. It was comfy and my old lady loved it. It did pound the guts out of two 1500 cc Kawi Nomads though and it felt a little solid on my bike. Not quite as free as without it. Sold it to a couple with a small car for two thirds of what I paid for it.

I've looked at a lot of the mini-campers, and this is the roomiest. I don't have a motorcycle, but would like something to camp in that I can tow with my compact car.

I love my little camper! We haul it for just the lake due to skeeters. We use the tiny little "Artic Air" sold at Wal-Mart that cools amazingly well. They should be suggested with camper sales. .to make them more a pleasure for us on the south. The hard top to hold solar panels while traveling is awesome! We added a arm that slides out underneath to side for table just to have that option since people tend to show up and want to sit around outside and talk..and it's handy for little grill too! These are the best on the market! I had a different brand that a storm just soaked us and it blew all over. The purchase price of these seems a little bit much compared to a much larger conventional camper..but when you get to experience I e of these vs a tent or other brands..its a bargain! Looks darn good behind my vintage Indian bike..! No wonder we couldnt find one of these used..the original owners just won't give them up! The ONLY thing I'd change is that theu habe option for damp solar plug and a simple interior and exterior solar or battery light. We have added trick led running lights under just for night safety ( and it looks darn cool as it matches the bike). These are amazing!

It uses the same nylon tent material that any other tent uses, so in that respect it's as rainproof as any other modern tent. I treat the double-stitch seams with seam sealer, but that's all that's necessary. I've camped with it in some driving rain, never had an issue. And I'm very familiar with Florida rains. We spend the summers in SW Florida and as you know, you can practically set your watch by the afternoon thunderstorms.

@peaachie Thanks Julie, glad you liked it. It's easy to make a great video when you're working with a great product!

Great vlog! Love that camper!

Good question - I recently had the Time Out in an open valley between two mountain ridges which experiences sharp downdrafts when weather fronts move through. I had the l-shaped awning attached. Wind built over the course of the morning and by afternoon it was a steady 30 mph. I attached one rope to a grommet at the top of the tent, which is there for exactly this purpose. Overnight, wind gusted at 50+ according to wx reports and in the morning it was all still there.

We sold everything we owned and left Minnesota on two motorcycles and this Time-Out Camper. A couple of things folks need to know if they own one. 1. In a humid state you have to pop the top if stored unused otherwise it gets moldy inside. 2. Hauling this beast will eat up your rear motorcycle tire in about 8K miles. 3. You need a catalytic heater as it is so big inside that it gets very cold on a cold night. 4. The tent really needs to be folded tight to utilize the storage space.

Nice set up!! I really like it!!

I really enjoyed watching you put all the campers up. You made it fun to watch. BTW, you can add your website link in the description area so people can just click and go to your page. Love them campers, although I do not own a bike.

i don't own a motorcycle, but i watched this anyway. i think i need to re-evaluate my life!

loving that retro fan at 2:12

thumbs up !!! those campers are all over here in during Americade every year... 1FM Lake George, NY

Dale, very nicely done video! Beautiful camper too. Weather is a concern for us motorcycle campers. Wind can ruin a tent campers day. How does the camper handle winds. How do you rate it? Is there a way to fasten it down in a storm?

I am impressed

LOVE IT, WANT IT!

Great video thanks for sharing i have been thinking about one of them

That Dale looks like a nice relaxed kind of guy. And the camper is for that reality check when even bikers get tapped on the shoulder & told 'time to give the bones more comfort'. It's certainly one way to prolong camping & biking, especially involving the good lady.

Dear Santa

@H20MarkVIII Very easily. The camper in this video is 340 lbs. The Mini Mate camper that I sell is even lighter. It is 265 lbs.

Yes, easily. The bed area will handle over 500 lbs, no sweat. d.

@Aztecabrn - Nahhh, I don't move fast enough to run out of breath. But that was southeastern Ohio, in August. It was freakin' HOT.

@N4ANE The opening to the cooler? That's how I use it.

@AntonSick Yes, that would be big enough.

Very Nice Thank You =Cosmo

It might but I think most people who use an AC unit stack it on top when the camper is closed. That's what I do.

Thanks you did great job setting up camper love it what is everyone afraid to say how much they cost

how much is it in the USA???? this thing is sweet

awsome

What do you think about one of these being pulled behind a Kawasaki Vulcan 900? I know guys successfully pull 'piggy-backer' trailers loaded with camping gear, is this something a 50hp 900cc cruiser is going to be able to handle?

@mds9185 - The ST handles it well enough. On longer uphill grades, I prefer to drop down a gear. If you are traveling two-up or you just like a lot of inside room, I think it's a great setup. If you are mostly traveling solo, then I like the Mini Mate - empty weight is 80 lbs less and sets up faster.

nice view mmmmm you can get me a cold one too while you're at it :)

I'm retiring this December. Considering purchasing a 2020 Can Am Spyder RT Limited. Do you forsee any problems towing this with the Spyder? Great video, informative, and very well done. Thanks for making the video and sharing it.

Im in the 360 lb range will that bed support me?

@ezwryder Thats the best thing ever put in that little camper

I assume that such a roomy camper would be good for all kinds of travel. It was never mentioned in the video, but you could tow it behind a car, too, right? And is this camper, or a version like it, still available in 2016?

i think it could handle it, i mean the dude was pushing it on his own to latch up in the vid. im also about to purchase a vulcan 900 trike by the way:P

that a 2005 ST 1300 you have?

@ezwryder could one pull it with a smart fortwo?

👍

A small car can handle it as well. It only weighs 340 lbs.

Hi MustangBub, this model is $3795. The Easy Camper, which is just a bit smaller, is $3295. You can see them at motorcycletrailerstore [dot] com

with my fold up boat on top

be great to hook up to a smart car

In a small unit like this, is there such a thing as a “rain cover“? I would love to get a tent trailer of any sort (for a vehicle) but living in the Pacific Northwest one can always assume it might rain, and in my experience, literally every time I’m packing up, it’s raining! Right now I don’t have anywhere that I can open up a tent trailer to dry out.

Beautiful little camper. What's the tow weight & tongue weight? My Harley Ultra shouldn't have a problem with the weight would it?

A M A Z I N G! can i pull one with a Honda Varadero?

Is there a way to upgrade such as suspension, axle, and wheels? I'd love to pull this behind my RZR. I'm not looking at nothing to radical, just some mild trails in the mountains and I'm concerned clearance.

How does the St1300 do pulling that? I have a '06 and I'm thinking that would be a sweet setup behind my bike.

he have a off-road model for quad ???

would it have room to bring a thin memory foam matress?

Looked online for a replacement top for the Easy Camper model , no luck .. Do they make one ?

Can accomodate a propane camping stove?

Can i pull this with a small car?

whats the speed rating, could i still do 178mph while towing this on my zx12r?

Güzel

could you put a dog cage on top of this im going to go to Alaska soon and wanna bring the dog hes pretty big so idk

@MrYtreland contact me at dale [at] openroadoutfitters [dot] com and we can figure out what that would cost.

The camper would probably hold it but I don't think it would be comfortable for your dog.

Mitt is that you!! dammit man, I thought we covered this already - dogs don't like to ride in cages strapped to the top of vehicles

nowhere to park your bike under?!?!!?

Well it's obvious you do not have one of Americas Best (WORST) Trailers--aka--#1 Best (Worst) Trailers. That's a plus for sure. DO NOT BUY FROM EITHER OF THESE companies. They are one in the same. Jason is a lier and a thief. Call the BBB BEFORE YOU BUY one of these out of GRENVILLE SC. They are made in China and Jason assembles them ONLY-They are not made in the US as he leads you to believe. DO NOT BUY from either of these. He changed the name because of all the complaints with the BBB
