You were spot on! I was always thinking it would be a strain like an old school soft floor camper but you've changed my mind now good work Matty!

I went to The Grampians 2 weeks ago and there was an Explorer next to me..... was such a great setup, the couple showed me right through the trailer and it's so impressive. This is IMO the best camper trailer on the market.... thanks guys and look forward to seeing it on more adventures.

Well introduced Im sure young lane and Tack about campers would be very happy with your great sales !! Looks like a great camper , all the best .

ok, from someone who has been so bias toward camper trailers until now. WOW and i mean it! i camp more than 10 time a year and have never seen anything like this yet, youve done a great intro on the camper and all i can say is I WANT ONE!

Great video, have the Trackabout Basecamp and they are solid units!!! Would love this too when the kids get a bit older and are in swags

Awesome presentation of a wicked camper trailer .....just need to turn orff that poxy background music 👍

Love it! And the enthusiasm!!!

nice looking trailer, will do well for when you go to The Kimberley ;)

Unhitching safety tip, undo the chains last, just incase the trailer decides to move, it'll only go as far as the chains.

Fantastic 👌

hey mate awesome and in depth review. one question, the big storage box in the kitchen, does it have legs for when its fully out?

Trackabout has been around for a lot longer than patriot and drifta. Roothy used to run with these guys years ago. Tuff unit. There is footage somewhere of one being dragged behind a comp truck on a off road course

Hey matt, love the vids mate, great trailer. Tbh not a fan of the music its never bothered me in your stuff untill this vid

Seems like a job just to set this up, I'm ok with a small offroad caravan, 10min after choosing my nice spot I'll be fully set and chilling with a drink in my hand. Then again different strokes for different folks...

I love lamp

Bluen with the missus😆so true. My mdc cape York is a pain in the arse. 30min setup

1st one keep it up

10:29 "pump the pushbikes on the tyres" lol 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

I Love your vids, Explore Life. East Africa and Kenya's camper /off road market is heating up. Its a sector I would love to get involved in. I already have a tour company. Its amazing how much tech and equipment transfer from Aussie camper market we can make. Great business opp right there. Kindly holla Sir.

How heavy do you think it weighs in at as you have it on this vid?

This ticks basically every box 📦 if only it was free 😂 a man can dream

Can you give us the good oil on the bike carrier and outboard slide ?

Drifta have stopped making campers. sad day but they have a booming business. Patriot are cool but too expensive. this looks solid, good work on the video

How do you get the tinny of the rack or more importantly on the rack...its a long way off the ground...

I watch a lot of these videos and this guy and trailer are the best I have seen - well done to both. Now to see if I can buy one in the States.

They look like new clear view mirrors on the 76 ????

Like with all your other vids mate we.... LIKED - SUBSCRIBED - ENJOYED!! Its a well thought out camper!

Great camper, but not the ultimate. Up there though. Top vid thanks

Wont the Awning get burnt from hot gases from the burners? Atleast over time.

The X1 & X2 Patriot Campers

Any American dealers? I’m in Nevada close to Las Vegas?

In your honest opinion, do you think a small camper like this or the patriot would be overkill for a solo camper? I've never been a fan of having my 4wd (my only car) fitted with drawer systems, water tanks etc as it just weights too much and kills boot space throughout the week. Would be so good to hitch up on a Friday arvo and just head off knowing everything is already packed in the camper. I also like the idea that if I get another car, my camping set up can remain the same

all personal preference mate! I've cruised around solo with camper trailers and even a 14' caravan before so go for whatever setup that's going make you enjoy your time outdoors the most and suit how you want to set your vehicle up 👌

What was the name of the song? He basically spoke over it the whole video!!

Hi Matt, Great video well done, good insight. One question I saw you recently bought a Patriot x1N. Was this just to test out another brand or was it because you prefer the X1N. I love both so interested to hear your reasons. Look forward to seeing your new wagon too, must have been hard to part with your epic 79 though!! Regards Steve

@theexplorelife

Жыл бұрын

Hey mate love the trackabouts and patriots just two completely different products. Patriot X1N was epic as a base camp for our latest trip with heaps of storage for fishing gear but not many options for sleeping with the tinny on top. Trackabout has less storage for gear but a much larger sleeping and living area 👌 hope that helps
