- Walk around of my Custom Smittybuilt scout trailer.
I have been building it for a couple years now and it is nearly complete.
It has many upgrades including 35” tires, 30 gallon water tank, hot water, 12v power and usb throughout, 2000w inverter, led lighting throughout, dual AGM batteries, tons of storage, generator, 30a battery charger, snomaster 72d fridge, 20lb propane tank, custom kitchen pullouts, and more.
Please enjoy watching 😊
One word...MAGNIFICENT..
Thank you!
One of the best build I've seen on this trailer platform. Nicely done!
Great to hear!
I need to post a new video with a few more updates to this project
I appreciate the compliment
This is awesome, and exactly what I was looking for with the Scout trailer, nice!
Thank you!
Glad to help
Sweet setup
Thanks 😊
Great looking beast of a trailer.😮💪⚡🛠⚙🪛💪😱
Thank you!
One of my dream rigs, nice!
Wow that’s a awesome setup.
Thanks!
Nicely done Nate hope you enjoy it.
Thank you 😊
That's a lot of work! Nice job
Yes it was! Thank you😊
Wow. Very cool build!
Thanks!
Wow! Really well done!
Very nice job
Muy buen video
Very well done. Please post an update once you get the awning and new tent!
New tent is here, still in the box. I have since installed a rear bumper as well. I’ll get an update video soon
Super nice set up🦾
Thank you 😊
I’m very happy with it
Nice build!
Thanks!
Kudos on a first rate build, Nate. Really looking forward to your follow up video of the additional work.
Would you mind sharing more details about the 30gal water tank? Manufacturer or source? Thanks!

Thank you!
I’ll hope to post some follow up videos soon. The tank is from Amazon. Here is the link.
Very nice, I am looking at one myself. I really like the boxes you added over the fenders, did you say you built them yourself, or did you modify something for those?
I bought those at harbor freight
Very nice build, what are the dimensions for the slides out the back, would an Iceco apl55 fit?
I have a snomaster 72d for reference

Amazing... I'm building a overland trailer as well I hope it turns out as nice as yours 😅
Best of luck! And thank you
This is an amazing build and exactly what I have wanted for so long. Do you have a biuld thread somewhere detailing what you did, what you used, etc.?
Not yet, I have some random videos of a few of the projects, and a few photos here and there. I may actually have a list of upgrades and parts I installed. Ideally I’ll have some time to post more on here and share what I have.
hey bud, thanks for making this video! I found the same slide out draw organizer you have. Did you have to customize your own height for the upper drawer? Seems like I might need to relocate it down about 1 to 1.5” to clear the door frame. If you could provide the appox distance down from the lowest set of tapped holes and how you attached it (looks like pop rivet? Thanks from Texas !!🤝
Hey there! Thanks for the question. I did indeed need to relocate my top drawer to get it to fit properly. I did use rivnuts on the back wall and on the sides for the new drawer height. I’ll check out your channel. I love seeing other builds and the creativity people have. Hey from South Carolina 🌴
Awesome! Working on my own trailer, I like how you did the solar panel pull out, that is a smart touch, what did you use for it?
It’s on stainless steel heavy duty drawer sliders. Took a while to design.. I would likely do it differently if I did it again but I already had the 100w panel so I went with it.
How do you vent your water heater when using it? I take it no hot water Pune faucet for your dishes? If you leave the back door open what do you do when it’s raining?
I have a switch on the water heater so it does not cut on unless I turn it on. The back door needs to be open to vent. The sink faucet has hot water, as does the quick connect for the shower. I can even plug a hose in for hot water if I want to.
I have a 270 awning not shown in this video that is usually deployed in case of rain, however, rain won’t hurt the water heater.
Bro this thing is sick! Can you build me one!!
Thank you!
Lol it took forever to build 😅 it would be expensive
Hey there. So I just bought a smittybilt scout as well. I just got it put together. No mods as of yet. I was wondering if those boxes you have above the wheel wells, are those from Smittybilt too? Did you just order two more like the one that is on the tongue? And the 30 gallon water tank, can you link to that too? Did you build a custom box around the water tank? And man, yours looks great. Hoping to do similar. Oh, and the tire holder in the back, where did you get that?
Nate, how much did this thing set you back? I am thinking about getting one for my 2-door Jeep Wrangler. BTW, nice set-up.
Thank you!
Not including the RTT or the 270 awning I’m probably 15k invested and countless hours 😅
Nice! I wonder, how does it tow? I was thinking that the water tank should be closer to your axle point for weight distribution, I guess you have enough weight in the back?
It tows very well actually, on and off road.
Since this video I have added a rear bumper with a tire carrier that helps get more weight into the rear.
Awesome! what kind of front jack is that? I bent mine and need to replace it.
It is an ARC offroad jack
What material did you use to mount the rocker panel?
Starboard… aka marine board I ordered it on Amazon.. pricy and heavy but it’s amazing for durability and easy to work with
How are the switches holding up to the elements? Nice rig!
They hold up well, even when I wash it. They are covered and waterproof so the elements are not an issue really. It also sleeps in the garage so day to day wear is minimal
🐨 awesome trailer m8 👍 well done 👏👏 what's the tent 🎪
we just got a glimpse 👀 of ??
🍻 💂
I had a Smittybuilt gen one for years, just got the ikamper but haven’t used it yet
Hello Nate, my name is Skipton, dude this trailer is awesome!!!!!! Has anyone ask you to help them build there trailer like yours, i like the set up , would you help??? Maybe you can charge a fee???
Hey Skipton! Thank you 🙏 I really appreciate the feedback. I have done the build as a hobby that I am passionate about. I have had several people try to buy it or ask if I would design more and sell them but no one has asked for help on their build. I’m always happy to help but stay very busy with work so I’m not sure how that would work out but if it made sense I do love putting things together on the trailer for sure
were did you put the spare tire?
I moved it to the rear with the dirtworx bumper
Here is a video clip showing it:

$50,000?
I’m not quite that far into it if we’re only talking materials and equipment. If you include my time then yea I’m probably over that at this point lol.
