I’m really excited I can focus on getting this just curious how much it is for that specific setup. Have to check out the site. Oh forget it 30k starting
Great review, we purchased the same unit, we opted for a 110 volt AC unit which we can run off of shore power or our Honda generator which we also use to keep the two house batteries charged, we can also just hook the trailers pig tail to our Toyota Tacoma and let them charge that way which takes very little time. Instead of the wrap around awning we had a custom screened in room built that covers both kitchen pullouts and then some, really adds a whole new dimension to these unique camper.
You really are excellent at giving these presentations Joe! It’s not so much as you showing what all the vehicles have to offer, but HOW You do it - very detailed and explanatory...it’s very nice listening to you “do your thing” buddy! This lil rig is actually kinda sweet for great weather camping! Great run-thru of this gem! 👍🏼👏🏼
I think he assumed you knew what that was... I believe it's in awning that stretches outward from the side of the vehicle... but it would be good to see it!
I still don't get it.. to run AC when RVing or traveling AKA VanLife.. Runing it off solar is just not a thing.. if you are gonna do that buy a 100K RV... Seriously.. running AC off solar is just way to expensive to make it reasonable... unless you have really deep pockets. Just use a generator.. and a super efficient AC setup.. if ya have to have cool air..
Low volume and high end product for the overland types. All that stuff is expensive. If you want something more modest coachmen has a more mainstream rv version of the sort of popup in the clipper express.
Once you shop around and take a look at all the others similar to this, you realize this is in line with the others. In fact, this one adds additional features many of the others don’t.
@@HimAndHerOverland I get that its in line with "market price". But I'm never sure who these sell to.. Like is the "I'm going to tour Australia's backcountry and need to do nothing but off roading" market really that big? And if you are just doing highway traveling, why not spend $30k - $40k on a nice new coachman or some other brand? yeah it'll be a box trailer.. but who cares? who is going to spend this kind of money on a tear drop trailer, and then not upgrade their vehicle for towing it?
@@DewmOnline For the most part, this model is sold to a specific "overlanding" market. It is a significant market and is always growing. Folks who start off with a ground tent, then move to a roof top tent and finally into the ruggedized trailer to go places that you can't take a RPOD or similar trailer. You can see examples of that on my channel where we go way out into the mountains or high desert of Oregon and take this down tracks that are undeveloped forest roads or wider ATV tracks. I am paying for the heavy-duty frame, the large tires, the water capacity and solar flexibility. This isn't a road-queen for me but a way to spend a weekend where I don't any other person except those riding with me. If you look at what is spent to build out an overlanding rig with a roof top tent (tires, rack, tent, etc), you will find that it all adds up quickly. Is it for everyone? No. If you want to stay on-road and in campgrounds, get something more comfortable for the money.
$22,000.00?....Or buy you a $5000.00 school bus you can convert/customize for another $5,000.00- $10,000.00, and still have plenty of money left over for fuel and food on the road. I'll take the bus, but thank you for sharing.
Great review. The shower enclosure is well designed. I would bump up the battery AH just to make it through the night with the A/C on. Also like the pop up, makes getting dressed easier.
When you started pulling stuff out all I could think of was "autobots, roll out"!!! I think these are awesome but I also know how cramped my 17 ft hybrid gets (with a full bathroom) after a few days and I don't think I could do it. Then again my brother has a 32 ft fifth wheel with a chandelier above his kitchen island and its not even camping (or glamping) at that point, different strokes for different folks I guess.
I don't know how your friend found that camper, but Teton needs to do some advertising if they can outdo their current demand. That rig is awesome. I was worried about grabbing food from the fridge during the rain, but they solved that. I agree that the short door must be the biggest con, especially for aging folks with less than great knees. Still with all the features, functionality, and at that weight, a fantastic travel trailer to boondock your way across North America. Thanks for the tour!
@@roxannegordon6162 I'm sure on the next version they'll have that figured out......along with the fireplace, wet bar, dishwasher, water maker and the combo nail station/massage table.
@@roxannegordon6162 keep it inside instead during the rain? Though, if they could work out *some* way to put a second door, one that can go straight to the outdoor shower space, that'd be quite nice.

@@rrosado36 My response was actually to a different comment that got deleted! (About no one being able to stand inside) The trailer is AWESOME and the new interior height with the top popped is 6'10" I believe but you would have to confirm with TetonX
@@dverygrateful1 take in the woods? It needs a car? Its a house on wheels, pay to campsite. Thats a nice way to be introduced to the wild world of govt run parks.
Maybe spruce up the toilet set up, and these are just what I was thinking about for large group camping...such as boy scouts. I called them SKOUTS. Stand alone Kitchen, Outhouse and Utility Trailers. Add auxillary power from the auto for all night AC, and this makes the chaperones very happy. Or 3 families with tents....bring this unit and you lessen a little of the "roughing it" part of the experience.
Yes, REALLY spruce up the toilet set up. After a few boys use that thing (how's their aim?) making jokes, what would the ground around it feel like? Smell like? A little soggy perhaps. Ewwww!!
That was a really nice review!. It appears to be a well thought out design.I was hoping the cost wouldn't be so high. Thanks for the review! Happy Trails
This would be perfect…..if I were 3’4” tall and cheap. I couldnt imagine fitting a family in that matchbox much less asking to be excused while I carry the shitter outside to the tent to take a dump. Lol
We have a Vista RV Crossover which we love. A FULL offroad hybrid. No dust or water gets inside when it is closed up for travel. It is the same width as our 100 Series Landcruiser so we need no extra width mirrors, 1600kg aggregate weight.
I met the owner, Kyle, at the Overland Expo in Flagstaff in 2019. He gave me a complete tour of his Teton X. It's quite a trailer. Fully equipped, you can go right up to 36K. They now have a two year waiting list as of May 2021.
Some of you people who commented I can do it for cheaper need to understand that there are people who can't. That why this market exists. No one ask just try to keep that info to yourself. Don't be the equivalent of a vegan
Great job Joe!! Well done presentation. Will you folks be visiting us here at the Overland Expo in Flagstaff AZ September 24-26? Hope to meet you folks someday. Keep Trucking! Jeremiah 2911
It look like the bath can also be used as awening.....after you fold the top structure just lift up the bottom of the bath material n use the poles n make it Awening.....?
I have to reiterate, exactly what Roberto says below, I have seen many of these Hybrid camper trailer reviews, ( and many are very average..) But your presentation is truely quite excellent, you do, do it very well, Thank you. - And a fantastic camper !
This is what you do best Joe, showcasing overlanding rigs; this trailer is very functional... I’d certainly consider this trailer for my ‘21 TRD Pro when I receive delivery of the truck. Great work! 👍✌️🇨🇦
great video but this statement is completely, utterly and dangerously incorrect and I hear it repeated over and over "this small travel trailer (3500 lb loaded) can be towed by most vehicles". Hardy any recent SUVs are rated to tow at 3500lb. And even those that are rather 3500lb should probably not tow anything over 2000lb really, especially not in high elevations! My rav4 is rated at 3500lb, my trailed is perhaps 1200lb and I would not want to tow anything much larger.
@@Here_is_Waldo Generally, yes, but that one appears to be a "Cruise 'n Comfort" AC, which are specifically built for cars, boats, etc. 42A at 12V, but they'll run! Compare the grill you can see at 9:13, to the one seen at this site...it looks to me like it matches: www.cruisencomfortusa.com/
I can’t wait til 400w+ solar, a solar inverter, and at least one Lithium battery are standard options on every camper from teardrops to fifth wheels. These aren’t true off the grid til they do. I like the idea of being able to power the ceiling fan, lights and ac plugs at all times regardless of where I am.
The seat situation inside is a deal breaker and I can understand why you glossed over that part fairly quickly. To me that inside seating has to be a solid, cozy, inviting option somehow- some way, and dang, if you even have a little bit of a belly you are screwed. I know the idea is to think outside the box, literally, and it looks awesome and functional and modern in so many ways but I think I would let a few of those gadgets go and probably not have to pay up to much higher for something just a little bit bigger or designed to fit a 2 seater comfortably and still room to slide a 3rd person on top of a cooler or fold up seat. I'm not picturing a recliner by any means, but a bench with a little more practicality. I'm thinkng about the nights when the temperature drops below 50 or you just want to be indoors for whatever the reason may be. Shut the blinds and let it all hang out. Doesn't matter where you go in this Country, the nights get chilly even in the heart of summer along Cali's coast and definitely in the high desert. Great kitchen idea. I would put that to good use for sure.
Great video. Beat me to it. One thing to note is the rear propane tank isn’t a spare but is actually the tank you use for the stove. The front runs the water heater and camper heater (if equipped).
Question about the (nifty) shower: Is there a place to hook the nozzle when you're rinsing or do you rinse, turn it off, then turn it back on when you want to rinse again? I was also curious to see the awning out. Thank you.
That's a well thought out trailer. One drawback though is how low the awning is. You'd constantly be ducking down to move around underneath it unless you're Danny DeVito.
Really like your video! I was wondering if you could possibly list the options that your neighbor has added? I am considering buying one of these rigs and I would like to equip it like this one. Thanks for the great review.
Good to see the video. We have actually considered the TetonX Hybrid as an upgrade to our current square drop. To me this gives you the flexibility to stay overnight somewhere where you need to be self contained (Harvest Host, Boondockers Welcome, Wal-Mart, etc.). When I checked a few weeks ago, current lead time is about 18 months.
@@garretlewis4103 All the prices on these teardrops have gone up darn near 50% since COVID, not just these. Demand is through the roof and materials are getting scarce. Also, a lot of passion projects are turning into serious money-making ventures for company founders. Entry-level trailers (across all companies) have all gone up about the same proportion. $17,000 a year or two ago is now $25,000 for the same exact build. I've about decided to get a used A-frame for 1/2 or 1/3 the price. Raise it up 4 inches, put bigger wheels and tires on it, maybe add a skid plate, and have all the conveniences of the high-end teardrops, with a pair of 20-pound propane tanks, standard. Not as big of a status symbol, but quite functional. Fully-insulated teardrops seem to start at $25,000 and go up from there. You can find a good used Chalet for $10,000 - $15,000.
Why do you call this a low weight camper? My 4x4 Tacoma 4 cylinder would bearly tow that. I tried the same amount of weight by way of horse and trailer and my poor truck struggled and guzzled gas at the rate of 8mpr. Otherwise the features are super.
Well it has a GVWR of 3500 but weighs less than that. It depends on how much stuff you carry with you. That said, your truck has a 3500 lb tow rating and, despite struggling a bit, it towed it.
He's over powered his solar setup.. with 200 amp hours you are wasting a ton of power that you can not store... a 200 to 300 watt solar panel array would be perfect... more is just over kill.. you do not use much power during the day.. if you do then yes a larger array is fine./. otherwise.. this is way over powered for the storage capacity.
Woah this is extremely nice!! I could totally go for something like this! There are so many options :O I'm not sure what to go for. I like Skoolies, I like buses, I love the ambulance builds, I like the box builds, love camper vans, and I'm pretty big fan of these pop up travel trailers. I don't have a car or truck but if I did this could be a route I go
🤣 guess you need to be watching car or truck vids first huh? 😆 If you had a car or truck “it COULD be route you’d take?” Yeah if you had a vehicle it COULD be a possibility. 😆
@@lukefish7562 Probably so 🤣 yeah it could be if I did, I'm disabled so I'm not able to drive so if I had a vehicle it could be but I don't you're not wrong 😆 so I definitely should look into that 😆
Thee things start at $45,000. Fully optioned it costs more than a brand new top trim level luxury full sized pickup truck. I wish these camper manufacturers would stop absolutely ripping people off.

I'm thinkng about the nights when the temperature drops below 50 or you just want to be indoors for whatever the reason may be. Shut the blinds and let it all hang out. Doesn't matter where you go in this Country, the nights get chilly even in the heart of summer along Cali's coast and definitely in the high desert. Great kitchen idea. I would put that to good use for sure.
This guy reminds me of Steve from Blue's Clues.
'You can sleep four people'...but none of them confortably
Great video. Beat me to it. One thing to note is the rear propane tank isn’t a spare but is actually the tank you use for the stove. The front runs the water heater and camper heater (if equipped).
Price is ridiculous. Watched half of the video, and done
Question about the (nifty) shower: Is there a place to hook the nozzle when you're rinsing or do you rinse, turn it off, then turn it back on when you want to rinse again? I was also curious to see the awning out. Thank you.
"Starting at 22k."
Shower nozzle hook bumps the price up to 30k.
@@HyperInflation2020 🤦😆🤣😂
Navy shower...
Really enjoyed this! I'd be more than thrilled to have that.
Your buying a thirty thousand dollar mattress !
I wonder if they would install this directly to a compact truck and take off the bed completely.
Been thinking the same thing
I just want something I can sleep in the city without worrying about meth heads peeing on me or setting me on fire while I sleep.
Fuk Yea!
That's a well thought out trailer. One drawback though is how low the awning is. You'd constantly be ducking down to move around underneath it unless you're Danny DeVito.
$21000 starting is not bad for the price.
Pretty sure the air conditioning in that unit is around 3,000$ possibly more
What's the price as the one in the video?
Great video
Pretty cheap materials inside for that price point
Really like your video! I was wondering if you could possibly list the options that your neighbor has added? I am considering buying one of these rigs and I would like to equip it like this one. Thanks for the great review.
That is one of the most awesome small trailers I've seen yet, thanks.
This is so cleverly designed! I never really considered a trailer this small before, but I think this could really work for me.
Would have loved to see how the batwing wrap around awning works.
Me too.
You can get to the freezer from the inside. What about the rest of the kitchen, or is that only for outdoors?
Just the fridge/freezer. You have to use the kitchen outside.
Good to see the video. We have actually considered the TetonX Hybrid as an upgrade to our current square drop. To me this gives you the flexibility to stay overnight somewhere where you need to be self contained (Harvest Host, Boondockers Welcome, Wal-Mart, etc.). When I checked a few weeks ago, current lead time is about 18 months.
What was the cost of trailer?
I think base model was $22,000. I wish he had also stated the price for this configuration.
@@aurora571000 Base price now is about $30,000.00.
@@garretlewis4103 All the prices on these teardrops have gone up darn near 50% since COVID, not just these. Demand is through the roof and materials are getting scarce. Also, a lot of passion projects are turning into serious money-making ventures for company founders. Entry-level trailers (across all companies) have all gone up about the same proportion. $17,000 a year or two ago is now $25,000 for the same exact build.
I've about decided to get a used A-frame for 1/2 or 1/3 the price. Raise it up 4 inches, put bigger wheels and tires on it, maybe add a skid plate, and have all the conveniences of the high-end teardrops, with a pair of 20-pound propane tanks, standard. Not as big of a status symbol, but quite functional. Fully-insulated teardrops seem to start at $25,000 and go up from there. You can find a good used Chalet for $10,000 - $15,000.
Seen these and have followed them....my favorite!
So many conveniences and creature comforts, it's almost like you haven't even left home . . .
Great setup and your friend took solar seriously. And TWO lithium batteries?! This thing is awesome. Exactly what I’d want he did a great job.
Looks nice. Bit pricy though. Is it a wood or composite construction?
How much? If he said I missed it. Never mind he said at the end
Thanks Again For Sharing Your Life
Why do you call this a low weight camper? My 4x4 Tacoma 4 cylinder would bearly tow that. I tried the same amount of weight by way of horse and trailer and my poor truck struggled and guzzled gas at the rate of 8mpr. Otherwise the features are super.
Well it has a GVWR of 3500 but weighs less than that. It depends on how much stuff you carry with you. That said, your truck has a 3500 lb tow rating and, despite struggling a bit, it towed it.
I have been wanting that one!
He's over powered his solar setup.. with 200 amp hours you are wasting a ton of power that you can not store... a 200 to 300 watt solar panel array would be perfect... more is just over kill.. you do not use much power during the day.. if you do then yes a larger array is fine./. otherwise.. this is way over powered for the storage capacity.
What? You're "wasting" free solar power? What about being able to run the AC unit all night long in the heat so you can sleep?
Lovely. Wonder how it'll be received in French-speaking areas :-)
Lol what's not to like? I mean who doesn't!!
Very cool. Thanks. You do such a good job, Joe. Shelley from San Diego
Glad you enjoyed it - thanks!
Base $24k, loaded $40k🙄
Woah this is extremely nice!! I could totally go for something like this! There are so many options :O I'm not sure what to go for. I like Skoolies, I like buses, I love the ambulance builds, I like the box builds, love camper vans, and I'm pretty big fan of these pop up travel trailers. I don't have a car or truck but if I did this could be a route I go
🤣 guess you need to be watching car or truck vids first huh? 😆
If you had a car or truck “it COULD be route you’d take?” Yeah if you had a vehicle it COULD be a possibility. 😆
@@lukefish7562 Probably so 🤣 yeah it could be if I did, I'm disabled so I'm not able to drive so if I had a vehicle it could be but I don't you're not wrong 😆
so I definitely should look into that 😆
Hook it up to your electric bike
@@lukefish7562 maybe not.
@@tennisbum3686 That is definitely something I been looking out for and I love that idea :)
Thee things start at $45,000. Fully optioned it costs more than a brand new top trim level luxury full sized pickup truck. I wish these camper manufacturers would stop absolutely ripping people off.
I was so impressed and excited until time stamp 13:25 when I was abruptly brought back to reality and remembered that I’m poor.
Right. I’ll just buy a larger old school camper for $5,000-$10,000. And probably be perfectly happy with it.
Nice Presentation for sure !!!
That was a good review! You guys must be prior service. I think all of the patches on the ceiling gave it away lol. Thank you
