Very clever ideas he put to use. Pump in the water container was my top pick. Thanks Matt for sharing.
smart idea for the toilet area
The shower was very cool and if a pole breaks easy to find a replacement. I enjoy watching your videos as I am planning on getting a micro and I get a lot of ideas as to how and what I want.
So nice and love his potty room set up! Thank you for sharing and be safe.
The shower setup was awesome!
Nice shower!
Love seeing all of the great ideas for my Hiker.
Helpful videos ... so many ideas and gadgets. Still waiting on our build out of CO. Can't wait to DIY mods.
Very nice
Sweet setup
Love this video of Colin and Alison's Hiker Trailer! I'm looking at my options and didn't want to tow but, Class B and C campers are too much that I want to pay. Hiker Trailers has a very nice trailer and the price is right. I too have a Subaru Outback with a 6 cylinder and would like to also add the brake controller too. I will need to drive slower but it's something I can get used to doing. Thanks, Matt for your videos! I'll be watching the others as well as a new subscriber.
Brilliant!
Very interesting video. Thanks!
Very nice
Interesting mods
I like some of these mods. If that fellow's water jugs were black, or painted black, they would be heating up all the time and they could take hot showers.
true. In the summer we enjoy the cold showers.
Was it just me or was buddy just geeked up off that coffee 😂😆😂
Just you.
Very nice shower room! Where do you keep the pole when not in use?
Love your videos. I've been looking for a small trailer, my body is getting to old to be sleeping in a tent on the ground.
We discussed going back to a tent and my wife said no. We found this trailer and call it our "tent up off the ground"
Using the "Property of US Government" to shower??? 🤣🤣
Very cool vid, can you tell us where he got H type black pieces the attach to the rack mount? I liked the drawer with the wash tub very much, can he tell us how made it? Where did he get the pockets on the rear door? Thank you.
The trailer owner 3D printed the H brackets.
With all the things hanging on the galley door panel, a few questions: what is the panel material, and how thick? How much can it hold?
They don't recommend much weight on those doors - the middle is just a foam core. If you put too much weight on the door, it could overload the hinges.
I like the pull down blinds on the side windows, but curious how they're attached? I got my trailer today from Indiana and for got to ask where the wires are ran on the ceiling. Anyhow I have similar blinds and I'd like to mount the brackets where the ceiling meets the side wall for extra support.
I know the wires run through the ceiling and would assume down the middle. You would have to check with HIker We use command hooks and they work great without drilling.
Thanks, I used some 3m double sided tape but feel like I should back it up with a few screws.
Do they heat up the water first for the shower? Probably a lot cheaper than doing a propex heater
Depends on the camping trip and the outdoor temps
how is the dometic wired for power when in transit?
I don't know for sure, but I believe he has it wired to the trailer battery.
is it a big strain on the subaru outback?
I don't own one I have talked to many owners with Hikers and they say it pulls well.
Did he say what kind of tent he has on the side? And did he cut that hole for the door?
No mention of brand of tent I believe it was from Walmart and yes he modified it to fit the door.
@@MWDAdventures It looks to me like an Ozark Trail side canopy tent and yes, that's from Wal-Mart. I own one, and that's what it looks like. But the thing I can't figure out is how he's got it rigged up when it goes past the Hiker Trailer toward the tongue. Cause that tent requires support all along that top ridge. It normally clips to a 10x10 square canopy. So, how is he keeping it supported? Only about 5 feet looks to be attached to the HT.
Do you remember how Colin supported the ensuite tent that is not attached to the hiker? It appears to be freestanding somehow.
I wish i knew. i will reach out to him.
@@MWDAdventures I second this question.
Did you ever get any info on more specific direction on how he attached the tent? Trying to find a rack mounted shower room with a roof is impossible. There is one made in Australia but shipping is impossible.
@@ronjones503 I never had further reply, but I did work out a solution. I ran conduit along the roof rack extended out to an easy-up leg at the end of the tent. (Tent pole would work too.) Works good. I'd attach a pic of I could.
Mike, I have ordered the side tent. I am sure I can figure something out along the same line as you. Thanks for the response!
What is the door hook mechanism? I need that... did he make it, or is it available somewhere?
@WillColl he made that back galley door mechanism himself.
@@MWDAdventures Thanks. What have you found to be the best way to secure the open galley door?
@@willcoll8789 We connect a cord from the latch of the door to the HT in the roof rack mount - s-biners on both ends of the cord
Matt, do you or Colin have a file to print those 3D trailers?
I don’t I will reach out to him. I got a printer for Christmas I would like to try it on. 😀
@@MWDAdventures Thanks!
What are the inside and outside of the camper
Not sure on the question
What are the interior dimensions of the camper. How deep is the rear storage? Sorry for the previous question. Just went back and read it. Mind was faster than my fingers
@@Wrongwayadventures I have 60 videos on full walk arounds on these trailers on my channel. Most are full custom so it’s hard to give dimensions. I have one video just has dimensions. Hiker from another dimension is the title. Thanks for watching
@@Wrongwayadventures I think this one was 18 inches standard config. 24 deep is special order.
@@MWDAdventures just got finished watching the video. Best dimensional video for a small camper. Thanks for your quick response
Camera work needs some attention!
Ugh, maskers. 🤦♂️
Fact of life sorry. Had to play by the rules hope you enjoyed the video.
Ugh, non-maskers.
@@MWDAdventuresPlaying by rules? Mandates are not laws. Ridiculous!
