Forever more Mike will be known as the father of extreme off-road trailer camping. Within seven years he will be the CEO of the company cranking these campers off the assembly line. I'm glad you invited us along for the shakedown cruiise. Happy camper - Happy life!

You have taken overlanding to a new level. The trailer did awesome. The steering capabilities really helps a lot from where I'm sitting. A little work inside & you will be ready to go camping. A definite 10 outa 10 for the first testing. Thanks for taking us along.

Did Mike just start an adventure camper craze !?! I think maybe 💪😎

Everyone's going to be looking for those small trailers

Rory is unreal, he makes it so easy.

Hey look! It's the long awaited dirtbillly/ trailmater colab!

Mike's got the prototype for success, but so much has to be said for his tow rig - great job with both, Mike! And, thanks to Shawn and Rory for their help and also for providing a bit of extra entertainment on the day!

The Death Star trailer combo is a sight to see

I hope this name is not a reference to what happens.

Looks so good behind the Blazer! That thing is sweet. Looks like you got the clearance / axle position just right. Congrats on the first run, thanks for bringing us along

I think you got the balance point for the camper axle just right, and the trailer hitch length also. Very good 👍

The blazer is so badass!

It's a Chevy "az" since both the "Bl" and "er" have been chopped off already. 😂

What a great shake down run...the old girl handled beautifully..and everyone but Shawn was there ..Justin's pickup was looking strong..thanks for the ride

That's some great stuff guys. Not as easy as you make it look. Can't wait for the actual camp out with the off road Camper.

Nothing like proof of concept! Congrats!

Love it..!!!!! Now I want one..!!

Escalator with a caravan! Old Blue crawlin' outta the hot tub was sick!

What a sweet setup, Many memories to come with camping and wheeling.

Mike you definitely give new meaning to overlanding. I was really impressed

The Retro Camper look fits so well. At first when you had your vision on the camper.. I was.. eemmmff.. but, what you've developed and ACTUALLY made work.. I'm all in now.. Happy Camper... INDEED!

Thank you!

It's a marvel that you can build vehicles that will traverse those obstacles, but now even building a camper that will follow your crawler is truly amazing!! AWESOME JOB!!!

That camper is doing what its supposed to do and more camper steer for the win mike u rock 👍👍👍💯💯💯🍻🍻🍻

Love how you chose to ware your Matt's hat. Mike is Moab's new King of Off Road Campers ORDER yours now and avoid the rush*-)

"Ten out of ten on the trailer's first run." Yes sir.

Another Happy Camper!! Great job Mike!

Truly the next level of "Rocklanding" has evolved! Imagine the treat it was for those folks in the SXS seeing this group coming through. Gonna take some effort fitting the trailer out, think long and hard about how the poopers gonna take to the trail, let alone the fridge! I see a chance of a few call outs for cleanup on isle 5! What a match up with the "Death Star"

gimbal mounts for everything that needs it.

Keep the center of gravity as low as possible in the camper as you build it out,,,,and i believe youre creating a new adventure class for campers!! Amazing performance Mike !!

Dang, you guys have entirely toooo much fun!!! The trailer will be mega cool once she's done!! Deathstar, Ole Blue, and ETHYL!!! Epic!!! Thanks for inviting us to ride along! Peace out from ND....Land of Few Bumps!

Rock on!!! Heck yes!!!! I really like the build!!!

Love the off-road camper can't wait to see it done keep on wheeling

need some diamond plate aluminum around sides of camper so rubs and scrapes wont do as much damage awesome ride mike thanks for bringing us along

From concept to reality, and it works! The steerable camper trailer is a huge win! I imagine there's a few situations where trailer brakes might be handy but overall I believe you've created something that will soon become very popular among off-roaders world wide. Great job Mike, can't wait to see it built out.

Fun day out with you guys. Thanks for taking us along.

The shake down run on the Overland Trailer went really well. As stated at the end a few minor additions and revisions then all is good to go. Great video and nice seeing Rory come out to play and maybe shake down Old Blue at the same time. Again Mike awesome just awesome.

You guys are so inspiring. As someone who has ZERO experience doing what you do, it's amazing to see your videos. They are fun and informative. Thanks for not adding "catchy" things like loud music and flashes to "grab my attention". I love these videos and will always watch whatever you post. Cheers

Yes Dude... Absolutely the coolest.

Yahoo! The Stormtrooper made it!!! Justin - more scenery, less trucks... /jkg

The love shack trailer. If it is rocking don't come knocking.

Great work Mike! I have a feeling people will be knocking on your door to build one for them! Thanks guys!

Camper went well, now you just need to finish it. Thanks Mike.

Way to go Mikey ... that was freaking awesome!

Now to order up some unbreakable dishes. Awesome build Mike.

Mike, u should blindfold 3 to 5 willing participants with a picture of a strange liquid in it and put them all inside the camper while you're climbing the rocks. Whoever has the most liquid after the competition is over. WINS a sticker, does Mike's job during a recovery for the day or lunch with you guys. Something silly but always safe.

10/10 Can't wait to see it finished because right now it's just a shell of its former self .😂

Mike has mastered rear steer. Now a rear steer buggy build in the near future.

Been a long time comin, I've enjoyed watching this creature come to life, great job!!

Building my self a off road trailer. Thank you for your test I can move on with mine.

One of the best ways to make one of the coolest trucks in Moab cooler, build a cool trailer to pull behind It. Thank you Mike.

Better nail everything down in that camper driving on extreme angles. Can't believe it works so well.🎉 Unbelievable 😊 Great job.

about 6 mins in ... that damn Trailmater dude , Stalking Mike like an Ambulance Chaser .. lol

Mike your crushing it that thing rocks! Literally She wants to drag the ridges but that's also because it's empty. Steers great! With the weight of the forthcoming accommodations on board, it'll track even better. What an amazing day of wheeling!

Ole Blue got some rock rash.

I can see the Headlines now! “Man from Utah takes camper to where no camper has ever been.”

Big yellow here 👍🏻 love this my favorite locals

Mike success. It works congratulations my friend. Now help the square body he needs a cage I worry.

The Death Star towing the Seer Star. 😂

That little trailer looks so cute!

Possibly build some rock sliders, and you'll be golden. Keep up the good work, boys, and if you ever down this way, come visit.

That thing is too cool for cool. And if you don't watch out, you going to have your own shop to start building them for people. Because all the overlanders will want one. You can call it something like Mike's off road overland marvels. 👍👍👍😀🙂

Don't want to make your heads to big but by golly this outing was positively EPIC ! ❤

Mike it's amazing how easy it went through everything you drove through! Great camper idea!!

Nice rigs everyone!

MIKE!!! You've been holding out on us. You've got talent that is just now coming out. That is one badass overland camper 😮🎉😮😊

Mike leading the way today with his camper & # one not far behind, I'm Shure Shawn is there some where. The guys having fun.Bunch of great guys.

Great job Mike!!! Git' er Done!!!

Man, I enjoy Justin's, and the other camera slingers, filming. They do an excellent job. The off-road camper is quite the camper. Good job!!

Next year you can campout on event weeks .Won't have to go back&forth to town, get paid to stay.It's a winner. 😂

Dotbilly deluxe That was a fantastic vithough.Thank you very much.Look forward to seeing the full camping one.👏👏🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲👍🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

That will be a great camper, as long as you get all the stuff you carry in the camper tied down hard.

Awesome job Mike

Next step...cameras on the back outside edge of the cab on both sides. Neat toy ya got there.

You know Mike, when the trailer is complete, and all of your gear is loaded that same trail will be different. The added weight will change the way it handles. Don't forget the roof rack, then on the back of the trailer you could pull the port a potty/solar shower combination. Some ladies can't go behind a tree. We're glad you had fun. Just think if Ol' Blue had to get you out of a bind you would have lost this weeks' paycheck, lol!

When the deathstar and family vacation collide... You get Mike and his camper...!!!!! Yall should get Rory to dress up like cousin Eddie and do a photo op with the camper..!!!

Had to see it to believe it... Nice work on that trailer steering.

Nicely done ol’kid.

Mike, can’t wait to see the finished product 👍🇺🇸

Trailer hitch and chassis seems to be at the right height to clear most obstacles. Just add rock slider/roll cage to hit and not crumble.😁👍

That trailer is cool!

Looking real sweet..

This camper and the footage is off the CHAIN cool 😎

You know Rory already has a flat deck version drawn up in his mind for ol’ blue

Absolutely Impressive, maiden voyage went well. Congratulations..

Very enjoyable video. Few observations: Trailer preformed terrific. Somehow it appeared to be happy out there. Add a fold down window and grill and you'll be selling tacos and chili dogs as quick as you could make them. The Deathstar is a serious capable vehicle. Great sounds coming from the engine. Wonderful scenery. No stupid music! And Rory wheelin' a show room shiny show vehicle. What! Who da thunk it.

Amazing mike, first rock crawler camper in Moab, 😁👍I think you're really going to want trailer brake's once you build up the inside and start to add weight or it will push you down hills.

HI I am very happy you keep coming back because I really love your show can you do more new show for all of us please we will be waiting for you ok I will always praying 🙏 for you and Mike and Shawn and Rory and your family and your friends ok 🙏 please be careful out there ok 🙏 and please 🙏 be safe 🙏 ok 🙏 you have a wonderful day and have a good night and day ok I watch your new show as soon it comes on ok and I really love your smile love Lorilee xoxoxoxox

So rad! Loving it 😅🤘🏼

So awesome Mike! Great job 🎉

Just awsome the maiden voyage was a huge success.Right from when you first told us about your idea for the trailer steering I thought it was a cool idea and well proven today 😃

That trailer is amazing!!! Just a thought, you might need some sort of brush covers for the windows so that a random branch or rock doesn't take out a window. Plus, maybe rock sliders, with flat spots for the camper jacks. Once you get water tanks in that thing it is going to handle a lot differently, but you are defiantly on to something.

thats what you call making your ideas into reality keep on happy camping

Trailer breaks would be cool. Pto out the rear, run a driveline to the camper. Be neat. or a rear axle with another drive axle out the rear. Vehicles I'm thinking of articulate in the center of the rig. Off road rigs from Russia i think.. Same concept to the trailer. Be 6 wheel drive with brakes all around. Boy that would be cool. Also some external rock bars. And ofcourse rear steer on the pulling rig aswell.

Mike's got the mobile lunch box, Lol That thing is wicked pisssar cool

Better get the charcoal back out, & dream up another mouse trap! LMAO!! Since this one is working so well, might as well keep the builds coming! Might find a few that could fund your hobbies!! Nice Work, if nothing else, trailer 2.1 could be for the tourist trade...

Amazing how the trailer just follows along. I' concerned about the high center of gravity. Thanks for sharing.

Hello from Ft Lauderdale, weight will be a BIG problem, most especially down hills, the uncontrollable descent will be dangerous... A few ideas: trailer brakes, Chinese diesel heater. Tow vehicle toting of the easy to move heavyweight items like water, Batteries, Fuel. Anything you can do to reduce the trailer weight, and keeping the weight IN the trailer as low to the floor as possible... Good luck my friends. Be safe!

Square bodies for the win!

Mike your a genius man that trailer is Badass. You need some mirrors and a back up camera and you'll be set. Oh and trailer brakes. Manhattan thing is totally cool. Thanks for the video guy's can't wait for the next one.

I had no idea you guys had put hydraulic steering in the trailer. Brilliant idea!!!

Great first run and test.

Adding steering to Trail Mater’s recovery trailer may make some recoveries go much easier. If you can keep to KISS!

Happiness day!

Just loving it 😎😎😎😎
