John Pattillo I went and looked at the (3) versions of Trillium Outbacks diagrammed on their web site. Looks like something Slim would feel comfortable with.
It’s hard to imagine you without an Aliner; but as the song says: the times, they are a changin’. Congratulations & looking forward to another year of excellent travel videos 😃👍
seems like going to a conventional trailer is "glamping" for Slim - the Aliner had a "roughing it" sort of feel....no bathroom, no internal shower, etc. Much easier to tow,
Can't wait to see what Slim bought. I might be in the market for a small RV myself, but until then I bought a Haulmark toy hauler and fitted it out as a camper. It is 7X14 with a camper style locking side door along with the rear ramp fold down door. It is insulated with 13.5 K RV rooftop AC and heat. I fitted it out with a countertop in front with a sink and 5 gal of fresh and gray water on a 12v pump. It has a small under counter fridge and a 12' awning. No bathroom but in a pinch I have a porta potty. I installed a 12 volt system with battery charger. I also installed a 120v/12v tv with a cable inlet that I can use with an antenna or cable tv. It weight in at about 3500 lbs +/- dry and I can haul another 3500 lbs if necessary. It has dual torsion axles with electric brakes on all four drums which came in handy when I was in the mountains last year, but a very low ground clearance. I also wired it for 120 volts with a regular RV power inlet. I'm an electrician so it was all done right. I installed tons of cabinet space which is real nice. I took it to Sturgis last year and it was great, but after Sturgis I went out to Yellowstone, and the Tetons. To be honest after Sturgis I would rather have not had the motorcycle with me as it took up all my living space. It was also 1000 lbs heavier with the bike. I'm looking forward to my next trip without the bike. Having a bathroom would be nice though so I will probably get a small RV in the future. Until then this setup works really great...
I retired in 2017 and treated myself to a Rockwood A122s.It is bigger than your little a frame,which makes life a bit easier. Every where I go I get curious people wanting to know more about the frame concept. I am sure I have swayed the decision of a few people as to what there next camper will be.I really enjoy your videos and the way you capture your experiences and travels. Keep up the good work!.
We just spent a day at an RV show in Abbotsford BC, and saw many of the same trailers. We used your name when looking at the Rockford A to some others who were looking at it. So glad you showed us what you chose...even if just a glimpse. Enjoyed sharing your search!
Slim, You don't owe anyone an explanation about why you chose your new trailer. RV shows are good for discovering what you DON'T want to camp in. Hope you're as happy with the new trailer as you were with your Aliner. Can't wait to see what you do to - err, with - it! Safe travels, Slim!
Yay!!! I think you're the perfect person to join the FGRV community. Can't wait to see your travels in it and how you approach modifications!! CONGRATS and ENJOY!!!!!!
Slim Potatohead Hahahahaha! Maybe we'll see you on the forums next week. Anyways, I think you'll be very happy with your choice. But of course, I'm a little biased. Take care and travel on!
Thanks for taking us along to the RV show. I saw a few small trailers, that would work as temporary housing on a northern land parcel in the U.S.,that's a stone's throw from British Columbia. 😁
" l live ten miles from the Canadian border." When friends travel to foreign lands they always make this statement. People think they are Canadian. Everybody overseas likes Canadians they find!
Good luck with your new trailer camper, Slim. I look forward to your new adventures and the modifications that you will do to it to make it truly your own. Thanks for all your time and effort that you put into what you do. You have given me many ideas for my retirement.
Great Choice....Fiberglass trailer. Looks like a Casita or Escape. Almost zero leaks and keeps all those tiny varmints (mice) out. Can't wait for the Tour
We've owned 11 different campers which include 5 truck campers now. Our third member of this family back in 2013 was a T@B built by what was then Little Guy before NuCamp was formed. While the woodwork quality was awesome, it soon became obvious to us that the word "quality control" did not exist in their corporate culture. Things were wired backwards so that systems didn't work (furnace for example). The collapsing dinette table was installed on the frame backwards which meant you couldn't collapse it. The hole cut out for the stereo was cut so large that only 1 of the four mounting screws actually made contact with wood. The other three simply hung in the air behind the mounting plate. The fiberglass shroud on the front disintegrated in the first 6 months (I see they finally went to aluminum). The TV was mounted about 20 inches above the stove ! But more concerning (and something you should consider with ALL the small units that weigh between 1800 and 2000 lbs) is that the rig rode on a 2000 lb max rated axle. They typically weigh more than the advertised weight and when loaded often exceed that axle load rating. There were many cases of bending axles which showed immediate uneven tire wear. The cheap Chinese tires load rating combined was 2020 lbs. Everything about the unit was built to the absolute bare minimum to save money. Hopefully they've learned some lessons along the way. I would highly recommend that you check and pay attention to the axle ratings of units you are considering.
In the world of towable RV's the tow vehicle is the deciding factor on what ever you decide on. Many years ago when my wife and I were strictly backpackers we gave it no thought at all but with the purchase of our first travel trailer it became evident how limiting the wrong size tow vehicle can be. Now that we have aged and have a 5th wheel nothing short of a F350 or 3500 diesel will work. Unfortunately the newer trucks are so costly it's a hard decision to make.
Thanks for highlighting the A122 Rockwood. Been eye-ballin' it for a while now. Unfortunately HOA is a challenge. But someday...soon! Thanks for the tour. Well done, sir.
I always thought the most distinguishing feature of you videos is how you create new functionality and modify your trailer. You are always drilling this, sawing that, and gluing something. My favorite is when you created your own shower in the A-frame. I also appreciated when you put up the solar panels and took us through the issues you ran into. I hope your new trailer is one that you intend to modify as I appreciate your creativity. By the way everyone is assuming the trailer you are pulling at the end of the video is yours. They are even guessing the brand and model but maybe you borrowed it from a friend for a teaser video and you have something else. Either way I can't wait for your next video. Keep the entertainment going, it is appreciated.
You're going to be especially happy you didn't get a trailer with those retro "outrigger" fenders that extend out from the sides. Enjoy the extra comfort of the new trailer and have fun!
Yes, I was going to mention that in a future video. It can be a big problem if you end up parked at a curb with a narrow tow vehicle. As your trailer may be 2 feet wider! SP
I hope that new trailer is insulated. If it was anything like my old Trillium, which is very similar, it's insulation consisted of a thin mat that was glued to the wall, but not in the interior spaces. I notice the tag type trailers had nice thermo plastic windows which is far better than glass.
I saw a glimpse of your new trailer and I like it! I would love to tow one of those! At least you don’t have to deal with setting up the sides all the time with an A frame. Now I can’t WAIT till your next video! Congrats Slim!
Great choice. I don't think you'll regret going with a molded fibreglass trailer. I'm hoping it's either an older one or a bare bones model so we get to see lots of upgrades!
The bushwacker is my choice for you, not that you asked. Not having to pop up the sides, eliminates the air leaks. The bath shower and kitchen are great. My only question is how well insulated is it. Don't write off the a/c so quickly, when you need it is nice. Do they install a solar system . The price seems pretty good. It enables you you add solar. I am excited to see what your choice will be. Happy trails to you.
Good video, both content and editorial. Couldn't help but conclude that, as you make your selection, your #1 criterion should be how solar will be compatible with your choice. Portable arrays: where will you store them. Fixed arrays: how will you mount them and are they compatible with the trailer's airflow. Some of those 'clamshell' trailers are actually pretty sophisticated re: roof assembly and electrical systems. I'd give all that a good think, in your shoes.
That looks like a vintage Bigfoot 17 to me. If so, excellent choice. I had a 20+ yo Bigfoot pickup camper, and it was extremely well made. I currently have a 2014 Bigfoot pickup camper, and it's my pride and joy.
The first couple of minutes of views of people’s butts was a far cry from your usual beautiful footage of your walks in the woods ;-). Thanks for another well-done and informative video.
Mercy, there sure were a lot of RVs at that show, there were trailers there for just about every need and budget. I am looking forward to seeing the one you picked.
OOO!! BABY!!! BUSHWACKER PALACE IN HEAVEN ABOVE!!!! U'V BEEN BUILDING UR WAY TO THRIFT SUPREME WITH MODIFYING UR 'A', BUT THIS IS THE RIGHT LEVEL TO BUILD ONWARD FROM!!
You missed one, the Viking 14SR. Which I bought from this show. A very nice little unit, with a lot of features compared to the cargo trailer we upgraded from.
I’m picking up my new Runaway CoolCamp camper this weekend in SE Pa! It’s only for sleeping, or waiting out the weather, but at 800 lbs and about $4,000, it’s perfect for me.
I like the Boondock edge 320S you showed. I see solar on the front and it looks like it would work well for you. Shows are loud and a bit annoying. We went to Hershey Pa and Tampa Fl this year. Found what we want and will hopefully purchase soon. Good luck in your purchase. 👍🏼
I looked at an R-Pod, 3years old, the floor was already soft from the leaks, no thanks. We settled on an Escape 19 Fibreglass trailer built in British Columbia. Best trailers on the planet.
That was a lot of noise at the RD show. I think about attending one to s see what is new and also to check out the newest gadgets. Are they always that loud? I would probably need to wear noise blocking headphones. I'm not psychic, but I have a feeling that you have already made a choice and even made a purchase. If so, congratulations! If it comes up again, and I hope it doesn't if you did pull the trigger, maybe you might check out Outdoorsy or a similar business where owners rent out their RVs, trailers and campers when they aren't using them. While they may not have what you would like to try, especially if it is something rare or really new, they have a variety of stuff. I haven't used them as finding one that really is wheelchair accessible is almost impossible. But I look. While I cannot imagine that they are the only place out there, I haven't found another. Yet. I can't wait to get a tour of your New rig and hear what you think of it! Until your next video, have fun out there and do take care.
Congratulations on the new trailer! Former co-worker searched long and hard for a used fiberglass camper. Him and his family really enjoy their Scamp. Not sure from the parting shot what brand yours is but from what I hear they're all built to last. Have you decided what you're going to do with the Aliner? A few years ago we had to "retire" the camper of my childhood. Been sitting in my parent's driveway for years and was no longer road worthy. It was hard to say goodbye. Sure it will be the same for you.
Great choice! I was thinking a clamshell design would be a good choice for you. Not sure what manufacturer you choose, but will look forward to the next video to get the details. Love that Airstream base camp, they should give one to you to use for a year.
That was an enjoyable watch. Rv shows are pretty neat. There’s so many different form factors and setups. Amazing how much the teardrops go for to be pretty much rolling beds. Anyway, looking forward to seeing the new one and your thoughts of it compared to the Aliner.
What a tease.... Another great video slim, there sure is a ton of RVs out there for sale. So many different styles but from what I can see looks like you picked the right one for you. I hope you were able to put your wood burning stove in there?
You need to look at Weeroll cargo trailers, well made, custom made.they will put windows and doors whereever you want.you can finish the inside and set it up as you want.starting around 5000.lots of people are useing them
I was expecting an empty cargo trailer that you would build up. Just the things needed, no glamping options and made for solar and all weather. Looks like a Casita, They are on my list as they won't likely leak being a bubble of fiberglass. I'd rather redo the inside my way than always chasing leaks in the standard campers.
Yay! A fiberglass egg of some sort. And a short one too!
Then again an even shorter Faberge egg of some sort could set him back millions!
I didn't recognize the graphics, but I like the Escape trailers from Chilliwack, BC.
posteroonie I'm pretty sure it's a Trillium outback
@@jmpattillo Graphics match. I think you're right.
John Pattillo I went and looked at the (3) versions of Trillium Outbacks diagrammed on their web site. Looks like something Slim would feel comfortable with.

That outro was classy Slim- way to go my dude 🤟😋
Any trailer with a hard roof that doesn't have to be popped up with 6 inches of snow on top is a win. And one that you can stand up in.
Thanks for the tour. Lots of good options!
Slim,
You don't owe anyone an explanation about why you chose your new trailer.
RV shows are good for discovering what you DON'T want to camp in.
Hope you're as happy with the new trailer as you were with your Aliner. Can't wait to see what you do to - err, with - it!
Safe travels, Slim!
Nice, the ending was perfect, now I have to wait for your next vid
As though we wouldnt.
Jjk
That really looks all you need. Wow how compact and cosy!!
Those tear drop trailers were pretty sweet
Yes, they are. At the very end Slim shows his new trailer.
Yay!!! I think you're the perfect person to join the FGRV community. Can't wait to see your travels in it and how you approach modifications!! CONGRATS and ENJOY!!!!!!
Feel Good RV? Foot Gout RV? I'll hope it's the first one! SP
Slim Potatohead Hahahahaha! Maybe we'll see you on the forums next week. Anyways, I think you'll be very happy with your choice. But of course, I'm a little biased. Take care and travel on!
Good for you. Can't wait for a walk through and a tour.

My hats off to you, Slim. You lasted through a lot more of that country music than I would.
Dang it! No new trailer yet. Hahaha. We’re getting excited. But wait!!! Is that a hint @ 15:03? Thanks for the upload. Very informative!
It could be....! SP
I thought it was an Escape, but someone mentioned below a Trillium. Cannot wait for the reveal video!
I really like Trillium's. Saw a rare vintage trailer made by westfalia once....now there is a use of space!
Yeah! A Trillium Outback! You'll love it. We had a vintage boler for 20 years. Solid little trailer, and NO LEAKS!

I love those little teardrops. Plenty of room for solo camping.
I already know I love that new trailer. Slim Potato head style!!! Can’t wait for the next video for the tour.
😎 can’t wait to see the new rig, and what you’ll do with it.
Glad there were Airstreams. We love ours. Everything is relative, we have a Flying Cloud 28RB and it’s the perfect size for the two of us with a dog.
Back in the 1960's our family camped in a 15' Hi-Lo trailer. Still think it is a great design.
The scamp seems like it might fit a potato 🥔 head
Agreed!
I'm thinking it's an escape 15...
Trillium Outback

The Tab trailer is really nice! I can picture towing it with a Landrover Defender.....oh to dream!
A LR? more like a nightmare than a dream, too unreliable for me.
That looks like a vintage Bigfoot 17 to me. If so, excellent choice. I had a 20+ yo Bigfoot pickup camper, and it was extremely well made. I currently have a 2014 Bigfoot pickup camper, and it's my pride and joy.
Now I'm not sure. The decals look like Northern Lite, which I didn't know made trailers until I Googled it. It's also not a 17, too short for that.
Cool new camper! I’ve always liked the quality and longevity of fiberglass travel trailers, and I’ve only heard good things about the Trillium brand.
We just had a huge one in Indianapolis over five buildings. Last one I went to had a couple of dozen Aliners.
From SURPRISE, AZ - Excellent choice and I must say, very creative reveal!
The first couple of minutes of views of people’s butts was a far cry from your usual beautiful footage of your walks in the woods ;-). Thanks for another well-done and informative video.
The 1st one and the Aliner are the only 2 I can see you in. But, because of your use of solar, I'm leaning toward a new Aliner.
Mercy, there sure were a lot of RVs at that show, there were trailers there for just about every need and budget. I am looking forward to seeing the one you picked.
Thank you Slim I see years ahead of wonderful video's coming
Thanks Slim for adding glamping to my list of vocabulary words. You are a great nairrater. Marty Stouffer comes mind when I listen to you.
OOO!! BABY!!! BUSHWACKER PALACE IN HEAVEN ABOVE!!!! U'V BEEN BUILDING UR WAY TO THRIFT SUPREME WITH MODIFYING UR 'A', BUT THIS IS THE RIGHT LEVEL TO BUILD ONWARD FROM!!
You missed one, the Viking 14SR. Which I bought from this show. A very nice little unit, with a lot of features compared to the cargo trailer we upgraded from.

Great video Slim. Nice scenery at the end.
Great video as always love the vans there massive we in the UK are restricted by the size of our roads
I really like the NuCamp Boondock. It's got a higher ground clearance than most other campers so it's easier to really get off road.
Ok so you were towing it in the end. Awwww what a tease. My wife made me rewind it 10 times. Lol
I like the Boondock edge 320S you showed. I see solar on the front and it looks like it would work well for you. Shows are loud and a bit annoying. We went to Hershey Pa and Tampa Fl this year. Found what we want and will hopefully purchase soon. Good luck in your purchase. 👍🏼

Congrats Slim ... you may need to wait a bit to test out the A/C but will definitely see how it handles the colder temps. Cheers, Steve
AC? Whut AC? Weee don't need no stinkin AC...! I think you saw that goofy vent cover. It's coming off too! SP
@@SlimPotatohead Ahhh ... vent cover. Get some flexible solar panels up there would be my first mod.
Solar is my next priority. The sun will be mine!!!!! SP
A little bigger than I thought you would get, but it looks up to the task! Nice!
Nothing better than waking up with a new slim video....
Hey that's a nice trailer you drove at the end , you will like it a lot when you dont have to set up a roof in a snow.

I like the "eggs"! You don't have to set them up. Minivan here--I just got it.
Slim, please don’t hold out any longer, please show us the preview of your new rig. PLEASE!
For my money it’s definitely the Bushwhacker Plus. Anything that size with a shower and for $18k wins!

Another great video slim, there sure is a ton of RVs out there for sale. So many different styles but from what I can see looks like you picked the right one for you. I hope you were able to put your wood burning stove in there?
Nice Scamp you got there, I have the Escape 5th wheel.
Great unbiased view of the other small campers. I figured you may have decided on a Casita or Scamp!
You need to look at Weeroll cargo trailers, well made, custom made.they will put windows and doors whereever you want.you can finish the inside and set it up as you want.starting around 5000.lots of people are useing them
Egg, sunny side up, awesome, Canadian beacon on the side and with Texas toast. Oops too much verbiage enjoy 😉
Slim, you're such a tease. Lol. Looking forward to new trailer vlog. Thank you..for sharing thoughts on new RVs.
You’re the best most entertaining guy out there Slim
That was very enjoyable to watch.
I was expecting an empty cargo trailer that you would build up. Just the things needed, no glamping options and made for solar and all weather.
Looks like a Casita, They are on my list as they won't likely leak being a bubble of fiberglass. I'd rather redo the inside my way than always chasing leaks in the standard campers.
Been missing you. Flipped through my subscribs and haven't seen you. Glad you are back and can't wait to see what you bought.:)
Congrats!
The Little Guy series of Tear Drops is pretty good too. Didnt see them at your show. A bit pricey, but very good trailers.
My vote is for the NuCamp. Hope you can tow it.
It looks like a bigfoot to me, very similar to my scamp 13, which I thoroughly enjoy. You will have a lot of fun modifying it Mr. Slim!
Great stuff. Can't wait to see what you've bought! ATB from the UK.
