Appreciate the words of encouragement. I’m very lucky that she loves to camp and explore nature as much as I do. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Another fantastic video! I’m a gear junkie, but I love the fact that you mentioned you don’t need any of that stuff to get outdoors and have a good time. The most important thing is to get outdoors and enjoy nature.

We love that little oven, $25 well spent. I do believe it’s a big part of my current waistline issues though 😂

Love your setup - probably because it has a lot of the same components that we have. Chair, small folding table, larger table, fire pit, carpet. Great minds think alike!

I love this- I got most of the same gear ( some same brands, some different) when I wanted to comfortably tent camp for days at a time. I now have a 5x8 Hiker Trailer and am looking forward to camping with a slightly more glamping style. Fun video

Do you have a video on the big awning you have on your camper?

@outdoorobservations

Ай бұрын

We don’t have a video on just the awning. It is an OVS (Overland Vehicle Systems) 270 nomadic. We have had it for about 2.5 to 3 years and it’s been great.

Some nice gear. Would love to try a skottle but can’t bring myself to spend that kind of money on it, seems like anything to do with camping/overlanding gets the price doubled.

@outdoorobservations

We don’t disagree with your observation. It can get pricey for sure. Appreciate you watching!

I’ve got the same size camper in a Hiker brand . I Carry two rugs with me to span the camper plus the 270 awning. I see you have what looked like one large rug . What size is the one that you use? Oh that ICECO is a dream , we love ours . It lives in a fridge box that’s mounted on the tongue of the trailer , it really sips on power . So glad that we ditched the cooler .

@outdoorobservations

The Hikers are a nice camper. There are actually two rugs down they are 9x12, we also like to span the camper and get as much rug coverage as we can unless we are traveling and only staying in a site for the night. If we are camping multiple days in one spot we have a 9x18 that we will utilize as well. Really helps keep the camper clean. We agree on the ICECO, it’s been a great purchase. We certainly don’t miss the cooler either. Thanks for watching.

@@outdoorobservations these little trailers attract dirt inside I think . I’ve got tent walls for the 270 and in bad weather we will install them , to have that area covered with rugs helps a lot . The Joolca is on my list of things to get , the list that seems to never end .

Those awning walls are a great addition. The Joolca has worked very well for us so far. You’re right about the list of things to get lol, it seems when we cross something off the list another item appears.

How much propane do the 2 of you use with that shower over a couple days? I think I found you guys looking for videos on the Venturist, glad you are sharing vids about that trailer.

@outdoorobservations

4 ай бұрын

We’ve found that it uses very little propane so far.

Love the shower setup 😊 Do you use that at all for hot water for doing dishes?

@outdoorobservations

5 ай бұрын

Actually we do occasionally. It depends on how many dishes we have. The nomad kit we purchased came with a faucet attachment and we have used it a few times. If there isn’t a bunch of dishes we generally will just heat some water in the jet boil.

Really enjoyed this review video, nice to see what others use. Been on the fence regarding the Scottle and paying that much for something so simple. We have the propane fireplace as well and my wife likes your chair. I’d say you’re our age or a tad younger, do you find the camper of that size a lot of work?

@outdoorobservations

We really enjoy the skottle, it’s versatile and packs down easily. One of the things we like the most about our camper is how easy it is just to hook up and go. We had a 32ft fifth wheel in the past and find this much less hassle to head out for a quick weekend trip.

Great video! How are the door frames on that trailer? I´m looking at buying one but saw another review that said the door frames are not very strong and tend to flex over time. They´re made of soft aluminum? Would you mind giving your feedback_ Thx!

@outdoorobservations

2 ай бұрын

Thanks. The trailer is lightweight, I think mine comes in at just over 1100lbs from the factory. The door frames are aluminum but I personally have not had any issues. We don’t have the rear door on our unit, those are larger and I have heard of some sagging and needing adjustment. Our side doors have had no issue to this point.

what is the black box looking thing that spouts water out? did i miss the name of it and what its for?

That is a Dometic Go water jug and faucet. We fill it from our ro water system on the sink at our house and use that water for making coffee etc. The faucet charges using a usb c cable and holds a charge for a good while.
