21:30 Seeing the ridgeline and windfarm in the background, I have a pretty good idea of your campsite location. 😊 Thanks for the review. Edit: The outro confirmed it. I hiked that ridge (next to the paved road) in June. Amazing flood terrain.
Finally a review were someone takes it on down the road and little off road...kudos! And laying down inside with a medium size dog really showed me the room this had... much appreciated! Really nice review, loved it and the trailer... have fun!
Great review and I appreciate your honesty. I am considering this or the Boreas XT. At 62 years old I'm tired of sleeping on the ground and spending a lot of time setting up camp. This type of camper would be perfect for me. BTW, as a person who has had dogs their entire life, you can tell Charlie loves you. Thanks for making this video and sharing it with us.
Both are solid choices! I will say that the Boreas' interior seems to be a little more put together, but I think with the stuff that mammoth has added to the interior they are rivaling it now. But I love my Mammoth and would do it all over again for sure. The feeling is mutual for Charlie! He's such a great dog. And thanks man, I am glad you liked it. I hope it helped you.
My wife and I visited Mammoth and they have a great setup. My wife and I have been researching a lot for our family and are trying to decide between the Boreas XT and the Xpedition Voyager.
Nice vid! Like the relaxed atmosphere of the presentation. Noticed that Charlie likes being part of the action around the trailer. I just got an Escapod this winter and waiting for the snow to leave and places to open up. I tend to be a minimalist and don't have very many bells and whistles on mine. Just finished packing the thing. I'm kind of an old guy so I tend to like a little warmer weather than you young whipper snappers. Really enjoy you perspective on overlanding!!!
The Escapods are pretty sweet! And yeah, Charlie definitely likes being part of the action in any situation haha. I just like getting out whenever I can, but I am definitely ready for some warmer weather. I have not been kind to my body with the years I have on me so I feel the cold for sure.
Awesome review, thank you! We are a family of 6 looking for sleeping/storage solutions for overlanding. We'd consider an overlanding trailer plus a big roof-top tent (parents in the trailer, kids in the tent). I love the swing out kitchen, I've been shopping for similar setups on a hitch, so I like that idea transferred to the back of a trailer. Are you still enjoying the trailer? We are also live on the west side of the cascades. The main concern I have with a trailer (something you mentioned in the video) is the ability to turn around on narrow roads.
I had to go back and watch your trips with the HV and this main review of it. Love the new tallboy, however the weight of it towing with our Jeep and Bronco is unfortunately too much for us to wrangle with. I think… this is going to be our go to trailer soon. It’s just enough, with a perfect size, weight and options. ❤
The HV is my choice as well. I love the HV. We would love the tallboy and may very well do it eventually. But we would need a new tow rig and the ability to spend more time in it. Not to mention a lot more money lol
Great video, loved how you go in depth with all the Mammoth 🦣 especially how each compartment work n consists of. Liked your honest opinion of the trailer, too! Plz, do pack a breakfast next time you are out and what was behind you towards the end of the video? Looked like a bird w long neck!? Like always enjoying your channel !!!
Thank for the feedback, I'm glad that you liked it! So, I packed a breakfast, but not well haha. I didn't put enough stuff in there so the eggs bounced around and every single one broke. And i'm not sure what you saw. The only thing I can think of is Charlie was exploring and his tail curls up so maybe a silhouette of that?
oh man! i wish they would make one with all the bells and whistles. full redarc manager 30 with redvision system, Dometic RTX1000 AC on the roof, 400 AH of batteries, TV mounted on that back wall above the desk. cruisemaster suspension etc. I wouldn't mind paying $50k+ all of the others seem to be that much anyway.
Dang that would be awesome! If you are interested, I would reach out to Bill and see if they would be willing to work with you to make that happen. They are super great people there and always work with their customers.
@@OFFTHEGRIND I’m trying to convince the wife. Not sure we can afford it but may look for a used one. We are pushing 50 and need to stay active. My apnea has kept me from camping, something I’ve done all my life up to my diagnosis. We would build forts and tell our parents we were sleeping at each others houses then off to the woods😆 I love the outdoors and want to venture west in my tundra hauling this beast!!!!
Great review, best looking trailer I have seen so far. A price that makes sense and equipped fit for purpose rather than a pimped up machine. I suspect the design with limited flat surface may assist with cross wind. The only thing that baffles me with most off-road trailers is the tyre choice. Unless it’s your desire to match with the tow vehicle, agressives treat patterns bring zero advantages in terms of traction, while increasing rolling resistance, unsprung weight and fuel consumption The counter argument is puncture resistance. Commercial truck tyre in LT construction are robust with equally high tyre walls. Am I missing something here?
It’s an excellent trailer for sure and I think the shape does help with crosswind. As I said, I didn’t experience the trailer being pushed by the wind like others I’ve towed. As for the tires, I’m sure puncture resistance has a lot to do with it. But I know I have had the trailer and some decent off camber situations and I would imagine that aggressive tread pattern has helped in those situation. Not to mention these tires are a lot better at not collecting rocks and mud like other tires so they are less likely to get caked and lose traction that way.
I just stumbled upon your video as I'm researching overland trailers; thinking I'll put Mammoth on my short list. Real nice job on your review, the trailer features were well covered and your choices of outdoor background shots were exceptional. One question re the small upper windows on each side: Do they have privacy shades or are they essentially boat type portholes? Lastly, nice choice of single malt scotch for your evening cocktail. Glad to see you didn't pull out a blend and ruin the ambience! 😄
Hey Ross, I’m glad you found this video helpful! Honestly I love the mammoth and the team behind this amazing product makes it that much better. They were amazing people to work with. The windows do not come with privacy shades. But I build some using sheet plastic and a spring loaded rod to hold it up and il that was perfect. Also, I hope you stick around the channel! I could use a man like you here with good taste in whisky!! Lol
My concern is the kitchen is not fully covered by the hatch or an Awning. Most other trailers have the kitchen covered in case of rain...thats about the only con I can observe. Nice setup
@@OFFTHEGRIND which pop up cover? I’m considering this trailer but the lack of cover for the rear door and the porthole windows not having shades are holding me back.
Why dont you use it anymore? Looking back at your videos, you have never used it since you got the Bronco, or was the one you got to Heavy, because the new ones the Broncos can pull.
First of all, absolutely love Charlie. If I get a Mammoth, my two GSD’s would be coming as well with the wife and I. Second, great video and very informative. You also made me want to visit Washington even more.
Charlie is a great dog! He is a handful at times, but I love him. I'm sure that you, your wife and dogs would do great in the Mammoth. And thank you! It was a beast of a video to put together so I'm glad that it was helpful! Definitely visit washington though, it is such a beautiful state
Hey great video! So its been 2 years and i was wondering if you have been having any of the issues with your trailer that others are continuing to have even on the new units. Bad rust on steel aspects and i still dont think they powder coat. Camber and allianment issues with Timbrens. No crossbar being used Condensation issues Leaking gaskets Strange heater that is only rated to 5,000 feet of altitude
I actually sold mine, but have been in contact with the owner ever since. He had issues with the timbrens, but to my knowledge that is the only issue. I did not sell due to not liking the mammoth and plan to get another beginning of next year.
@OFFTHEGRIND you seem like a straitfoward guy! I would read through the FB group before you get another one unless it's for free. My guess is that TL is going to be a hot mess. I bet if you ask the guy you sold it to thier will be rust
@bartman1857 I was actually allowed to take the tall boy out recently and it was awesome! Has some electrical gremlins to work out, but they are busily figuring that out before production begins. They have been really open with me about the challenges that they’ve faced in production and are constantly trying to get better. With the hub issue, they even sent a tech out to someone on the road to fix it. I had the AC unit on mine and it wasn’t sealed properly so it leaked. They took it back (met me at work to pick it up and brought it back to me) and fixed it. It was flawless after that. My water heater also burst over the winter as water in the lines froze. While that was my fault for not purging the lines, they paid for a new one for me as they “didn’t provide instruction that I needed to, or how to”. I’m not going to say they’re not issues with the trailers, but these guys stand behind them, will make it right, and will constantly push themselves to create a better product. Curious what the experience people are having with the newer HVs. Mine was trailer 5 off the line so some kinks were being worked out. I’ve personally only heard of issues on the earlier production runs but I don’t know
@OFFTHEGRIND did that TL you used really have a standard ball hitch? How could these guys off a trailer like the TL without an Articulating hitch standard. That's just crazy
reserved mine a month or so ago. i'm really hoping they manage to speed up the lead time or else, anticipation aside, I'll be driving up to washington from az to pick er up in the dead of winter lol. I'm looking forward to just having my bedding and crap already set up and ready to go
Dude it is so nice to just hook up and go. It makes it so much easier to get out! Yeah their lead time is pretty brutal right now but definitely worth the wait
I placed my order January 11 of this year and won’t be able till late October. Also I did email them about a spare tire option and they are in the works right now. They said I’ll prolly be the first or second one to have that option, which will be nice. Congrats on the purchase and now it’s the waiting time.
Yeah a little. I’m not overly concerned that they’ll do anything to it though. It all locks up tight and the lock and roll hitch makes it so now one can hitch up and take it
I was wondering if you have any truck sag from the weight of the trailer. I have a stock suspension on 21 Tacoma. I was considering installing an Airlift to help out with this issue if it does arise.
Okay thanks for the information. I also have a RTT and with all the other things in the bed I have about 300lbs. I plan on putting the RTT on the trailer. Once I get it this October. Have a good one man and keep up the adventures!
Well for starters, escapod is nearly double the priced when optioned out. But for me, these guys were a local company, and it is a super innovative and cool product so I had to test it out.
A tent doesn't have AC, heat, a kitchen, storage, this level of protection from the elements and from creatures. It's not for everyone, and I love tent camping as well. But to say it is not worth it is wrong. Not worth it FOR YOU maybe, but this is a great option for a lot of people

Edit: The outro confirmed it. I hiked that ridge (next to the paved road) in June. Amazing flood terrain.
Finally a review were someone takes it on down the road and little off road...kudos!
And laying down inside with a medium size dog really showed me the room this had... much appreciated!
Really nice review, loved it and the trailer... have fun!
It was a good time, and I am glad you found it useful!
Great review and I appreciate your honesty. I am considering this or the Boreas XT. At 62 years old I'm tired of sleeping on the ground and spending a lot of time setting up camp. This type of camper would be perfect for me.

Thanks for making this video and sharing it with us.
Both are solid choices! I will say that the Boreas' interior seems to be a little more put together, but I think with the stuff that mammoth has added to the interior they are rivaling it now. But I love my Mammoth and would do it all over again for sure.
The feeling is mutual for Charlie! He's such a great dog. And thanks man, I am glad you liked it. I hope it helped you.
@@OFFTHEGRIND hi, love this trailer. is this in the market yet ? or still prototype... definitely want to get 1 of this.
@@subiedude yes it is. Better get on it cause the wait list is long
My wife and I visited Mammoth and they have a great setup. My wife and I have been researching a lot for our family and are trying to decide between the Boreas XT and the Xpedition Voyager.
@@aneisinger hi there! Just wondering did u make ur pick? Xpedition trailer is def a top contender for us! This one looks super cool too
great video and beautiful trailer! Thank you for doing it!
Of course! Hope it was helpful
Nice vid! Like the relaxed atmosphere of the presentation. Noticed that Charlie likes being part of the action around the trailer. I just got an Escapod this winter and waiting for the snow to leave and places to open up. I tend to be a minimalist and don't have very many bells and whistles on mine. Just finished packing the thing. I'm kind of an old guy so I tend to like a little warmer weather than you young whipper snappers. Really enjoy you perspective on overlanding!!!

You had my attention from the beginning but When I saw the whisky bottle you had my fully undivided attention 👍
You are definitely the type of person I want hanging around the channel then lol
Beautiful trailer,Wonderful life, and I can’t wait to join you. My puppy is a bed hog too. I love it.
Hopefully sooner than later man! Luckily the beds huge so they can hog all they want lol

Hahaha always a good time with whiskey in hand
Good stuff.
Got a like and follow as soon as I saw the dalmore. Great camper too
Glad to have someone with such great taste join us! Lol thanks!
Is the inside all aluminum too?
Do you get condensation on inside ?
Great review man! Have your eyebrows grown back yet? That was an explosive fire pit ignition! Lol

I sold it before I even got the bronco actually. I miss that trailer so much though and am hoping to get another soon
You have not talked about the mpg change compared to not towing. Would appreciate that info!!!
It only dropped about 2 mpg from my experience. I was typically getting anywhere from 12-14 mpg with it

I’ll have the 55th trailer off the line
I love the trailer. How well insulated is it? I wondered if it heats up very bad in hot weather.
I honestly haven’t had it in hot weather yet. But I did get it with the ac unit cause hot weather is the worst! Haha. I can update you all this summer
@@OFFTHEGRIND Got an update for us?
It’s been a cold spring/summer so far lol so no unfortunately
By the same token, how does it fair in cold weather? I'm looking for what would suite my needs in the winter months
Whenever you drop the trailer to explore are you worried that someone will come across your trailer by itself?
Yeah a little. I’m not overly concerned that they’ll do anything to it though. It all locks up tight and the lock and roll hitch makes it so now one can hitch up and take it
Will this be fine to be towed by a (5th generation) 4 runner?
Yes absolutely. It’s so lite, there’s very little that couldn’t tow this!
I was wondering if you have any truck sag from the weight of the trailer. I have a stock suspension on 21 Tacoma. I was considering installing an Airlift to help out with this issue if it does arise.
Not sag, but it levels the truck for sure. Tongue weight is 300-350 lbs so it’s heavier than the RTT that I run.
Okay thanks for the information. I also have a RTT and with all the other things in the bed I have about 300lbs. I plan on putting the RTT on the trailer. Once I get it this October. Have a good one man and keep up the adventures!
Why this brand and not an Escapod?
Well for starters, escapod is nearly double the priced when optioned out. But for me, these guys were a local company, and it is a super innovative and cool product so I had to test it out.
1 year later = 30% more expensive
Damn covid and supply chain. Cost of Aluminum is the real driver of the price increase
@@OFFTHEGRIND Price started @ $22.5K then to $27.5K and now $29.5K. I believe that some of the increase is due to more standard features.
not worh $30k, just use a damn tent.
A tent doesn't have AC, heat, a kitchen, storage, this level of protection from the elements and from creatures. It's not for everyone, and I love tent camping as well. But to say it is not worth it is wrong. Not worth it FOR YOU maybe, but this is a great option for a lot of people
