I've seen a lot of offroad camper videos over the past year and I must say that this is, by far, the best one I've watched! The commentary is well done and provides the right amount of detail. Well done.
I love that you always provide specs and prices. It is so annoying to watch a video, see a camper, and then have to dig around to see what it costs! Well done! I have hit the subscribe buh-in!
I agree. I hate that about camper and trailer companies. Sometimes they don't show prices on their website either, you have to contact then to find out.
You are very welcome Tim. I'm happy you enjoy the videos. If you have a favorite topics, or something you would like to see featured, let me know. Have a great weekend!
Depends how much u use one. I know in Australia it's massive there. 60% of people camp or go camping more than once a year. Hence so many manufacturers. But a camper that's over £15k will mean u must use it 2 or 3 times a year. Or it's cheaper to get an bnb
If you’ll look up Sobro side/coffee tables Prepdeck Landarc Drake and Draper - pull down balcony Volkner rv - rooftop glass railing with solar panels for additional outdoor seating - These should help anyone looking for any friendly tools. 😊 Additionally: To get the most out of a dinnette: A two sofas on either side that can convert into full slide out beds - or convert into three bunk bed, the backs of sofas or chairs can be converted into desks themselves. For the table - if you start with a desk against the wall can be moved to fit directly into the wall as needs so only the a slim ledge will be used and an extendable table that can revolve as needed and lower and raise with the ability to convert into a bed itself - that way the ledge can function as a buffet or a decorative ledge, If the desk itself has leg stance or say that they are two portable filing cabinets, they could be scooted backwards to create leg room and the ledge in front of the leg space could be dropped down and a keyboard platform could be lowers from the bottom of the desk with an attached mouse pad - and it could be converted into a computer desk. On either side or both sides of the extension table - for those who need a bit of a workout station: if you are willing to move the desk in the middle of the room - where additional leg room was created - these places could temporarily home to treadmills that are brought up from the floor. For beds: I’d say look at smart beds from Jubilee furniture - combine this with book case beds, combine both concepts with Murphy library or book case beds - with sliding components - this should make for a pretty incredible library You could also convert arm chairs into book cases too. Another combination with jubilee furniture smart bed, try a Murphy bed entertainment center For door options I’d suggest looking up Murphy doors For more desk options I’d say look up Murphy desks. 💜
I really love your videos and hopefully soon one day I'll be able to make my own I think there's nothing better than accomplishments something so beautiful.
Great review. Was surprised to see the Australian Sheoak on your radar let alone come in at number 2. I have owned a Sheoak for 12 months now and am very pleased with it and am still adding little mods along the way. Interesting to see the price range that you kept to in the campers that you reviewed. We all know that if you spend upwards of US$50K you get alot for the money. Well done.
I built my own tear drop trailer, with A/C , inside /outside shower- inside W/C -,25 GAL fresh water tank awning/ table 15 watt solar system, Generator, & 2- 1/2 gal propane tank , on demand hot water heater , roof rack, and a fantastic fan w/remote 15" BF Goodrich A/T Tires Xtra tire and rear hitch for bikes.
I always enjoy watching your videos...Very Exciting...Now, I don't know if its just my computer, but the writing on the bottom of the video hides the campers. I don't recall seeing that over the years, but the past two videos, I did...Just wanted to let you know..It's a good idea for people, just don't make it so large that you can't see a large portion of the product....Keep the quality going, and thank you also for providing the prices, and spec...
Miles: waaaay toooo much work setting these up. Turn on generator. Check for propane level, Unload, pull out, pop up, pull up bed, climb up, pull out sink, stove. All the photos show such fun sitting by the campfire with all the options on the trailer displayed. One photo shows waking up to the lake just a few feet away. Let's see a real video of setting up or taking down these things in the rain. How do you get up to the roof to take down the tent bed without getting everything wet. I have a Winnebago Minnie Drop and that's hard enough with everything in her self contained. Nothing outside by the tongue ball hitch. That's bad enough in the rain. I can't imagine doing any of that with these off grid trailers. I guess if you are single or a couple with no kids, are young enough to think climbing up on a roof is fun, this would work for you.
My wife and I have been talking about living off grid, in a 5th wheel, for several years. I am nearing military retirement and do not want us to just sit at home, growing stagnant. We would like to be out, exploring and traveling. I would prefer to have all my choices upon delivery. Things like (not on mini campers but for our choice of 5th wheel) laundry, residential refrig/freezer, in demand hot water, and other options would be nice to have without having to have them installed after purchase.
Hell with it. For less of a price, i can get myself a very nice insulated tent/canopy that i can toss in the back of my rig along with all the amenities i need to live off the grid.
A trailer that i recently have been looking at is made by Symmetry Trailer in Wyoming. I hope you include in a future video. Currently I have a trailer made by Escapade Camper in Minnesota
I really enjoy your presentations on campers but I am curious as to why you have not presented Turtleback Trailers, a true off grid overland trailer for getting out in the wilderness.
I researched so many trailers, looked seriously at Airstream Basecamp, but found the interior space not compatible. I'm getting delivered next month my Expedition 2.0, it checked all the boxes with additional options, and shipping came in @ $35,500.00 US
Informative video...but at times it sounds like marketing spiel from each of the companies. I think you really missed the best teardrop camper that’s out there… The Bean which is manufactured in Utah. Check out the specs, and you’ll find that it’s an amazing trailer. I don’t own one (yet), and I am not an owner of Bean.
So it is pretty simple the tembren axles r great & I made improvement way back in word to aussie corps design. They will get what I Am saying. This is to use w/extra to tembren :the connection to trailer is anchored & moves thru an ellipse channel connection. So tire suspensions can flex up & down normal but NOW can swing forward & backward too. Why bc it lifts the ride height up& down clearance wise. BUT more important it shifts the weight of the trailer forward or backward thru the ellipse swing too. Grand I know if an obstical is in the way or on steep grade up or down shifting weight & raising tire trailer clearance up or down is big advantage on tuff terrain.
When I was younger, I used to go camping alot,and have fun with it, fishing, cooking at the beach, swimming, alot of fun, after you got older,you too busy with the family life and got no time for any things any more, I trying to get my life back, fishing, camping and all the outdoor activities, that was fun and relaxing and I will never forget that feeling, thank you
:Wait there is even more: If u don't make ellipse swing not run parallel to direction of travel, THIS means u can move your tires in & out depending on the Best line of travel. So not over rock, not into rut, but in out to get around problem. This is a manual feature u set b4 obstacle or while stuck in it after fact to help get out or past problem. so raise or lower tire & shift weight forward or backward & change the fucking track in or out. IF 2 axle set up front tire & axle swings 1/2 way forward & back & rear axle swing 1/2 thru range to the back.
Keep it under 10,000us dollars good price .. it's a trailer .. or else build our own .. easy trailer rack and pop up tent .. under 4000 dollars ... So keep on building ...
No Boundaries makes a handful of smaller trailers for small families. You won't find a tear drop that sleeps more than two. Unless it has a rooftop tent on top of it.
Escapade Campers in Minnesota offers the Back Country model (a teardrop but actually a rectangular-shaped cabin called a squaredrop) with 2 options for either a double bunk ($500 extra) or double wide bunk ($1500 extra). Your children need to be 5' 4" or shorter to fit. They also have a MT-10 model with these bunk options and a 5' 3" length limit and different pricing.
:24 it's not away from reality it is away from society, reality is you are on this rock in space, society is you are going in to work tomorrow and hate your boss.
Robert: I agree. My Winnie (Winnebago Minnie Drop) is 24' with full shower and everything else me and my husband need. No slide outs no pull outs, no outside kitchen, she's all contained. We can boondock with the generator, fresh water tank, black water tank. That's as far as 'off' I want to go. We park her near mountains that we can hike up!!

Not much in the way of a review! If you plan on living off grid, you should consider having a unit that is capable thru 4 seasons. I am not sure that you want to be cooking or showering outside while in the northern states of the USA in the winter months. Try that in Montana or Wyoming in December. Not only would that be a real pain but its just not practical. A true of grid camper should be all the challenges of being of grid in my opinion.
Not sure but seems like you are missing an important point. This trailer is designed to allow you to go off grid and off road, not LIVE off grid. Show me something in this form factor that is. I can wait.
Funny how none of these even consider having to use a restroom. Guess you buy a 20 = 50 grand a unit and still got no pot to piss in. Wanna see something cool? For about the same price check out mini toy haulers.

@@deltafunction0 , I am sure Vandelay Industries would provide prices! 😂
Check out Big Truck Big Rv and Matt's towables.. They actually go through the trailer or rv, give prices and rate what good and bads.
You did it again Minds Eye, another great video!!!!! You know how I love these camper videos.
Love the idea of living off grid and have the camper in which we've started - Ultimate Nexus Camper, has everything we need
Thank you for my Saturday Morning MindsEyeDesign Fix
You are very welcome Tim. I'm happy you enjoy the videos.

@@mindseyedesign My pleasure:) I would love to watch a video on New/Future Tech: Personal Mobility Devices (PMDs) & Personal Mobility Aids (PMAs)
Great presentation of amazing trailers!
Absolutely!
Love my Mission Overland Summit!!
Y’all should do a video on RV’s that are well insulated for colder temperatures, I love winter camping, it’s so peaceful
I love forest river fishing campers were u can have holes in the floor for ice fishing
That’s pretty cool, you can make your hot chocolate while your fishing!
I live where we get frigid temps in winter with sub 0 temps so I agree with ya on that idea .
What would you consider "well insulated" for a camper? R5, R10? Would be hard to go over R10 on a small camper.
LOVE THE FLY FISHING GLIMPS AT START OF THIS VIDEO!!!
Glad you like them!
Thank you for the information!
Depends how much u use one. I know in Australia it's massive there. 60% of people camp or go camping more than once a year. Hence so many manufacturers. But a camper that's over £15k will mean u must use it 2 or 3 times a year. Or it's cheaper to get an bnb
Awesome off road campers!!
If you’ll look up Sobro side/coffee tables
Prepdeck
Landarc Drake and Draper - pull down balcony
Volkner rv - rooftop glass railing with solar panels for additional outdoor seating -
These should help anyone looking for any friendly tools. 😊
Additionally:
To get the most out of a dinnette:
A two sofas on either side that can convert into full slide out beds - or convert into three bunk bed, the backs of sofas or chairs can be converted into desks themselves.
For the table - if you start with a desk against the wall can be moved to fit directly into the wall as needs so only the a slim ledge will be used and an extendable table that can revolve as needed and lower and raise with the ability to convert into a bed itself - that way the ledge can function as a buffet or a decorative ledge, If the desk itself has leg stance or say that they are two portable filing cabinets, they could be scooted backwards to create leg room and the ledge in front of the leg space could be dropped down and a keyboard platform could be lowers from the bottom of the desk with an attached mouse pad - and it could be converted into a computer desk. On either side or both sides of the extension table
- for those who need a bit of a workout station: if you are willing to move the desk in the middle of the room - where additional leg room was created - these places could temporarily home to treadmills that are brought up from the floor.
For beds:
I’d say look at smart beds from Jubilee furniture - combine this with book case beds, combine both concepts with Murphy library or book case beds - with sliding components - this should make for a pretty incredible library
You could also convert arm chairs into book cases too.
Another combination with jubilee furniture smart bed, try a Murphy bed entertainment center
For door options I’d suggest looking up Murphy doors
For more desk options I’d say look up Murphy desks. 💜
Hello Sarah Bishkin, thank you for watching!
A camper that I can completely customize would be best for me. I'd like to pick and choose accessories if its going to be a live in space
Absolutely I would consider living off grid!
These are so cool!
I really love your videos and hopefully soon one day I'll be able to make my own I think there's nothing better than accomplishments something so beautiful.
I really love mini campers, just my speed!!!!
number 3 is really cool and i like it
Great review. Was surprised to see the Australian Sheoak on your radar let alone come in at number 2. I have owned a Sheoak for 12 months now and am very pleased with it and am still adding little mods along the way. Interesting to see the price range that you kept to in the campers that you reviewed. We all know that if you spend upwards of US$50K you get alot for the money. Well done.
Thanks for sharing!
How much is a sheoak in Australia, mate?
Hi Gregory we own a Sheoak as well and love it. In Australia of course.
fantastic video
Yes we can!
I built my own tear drop trailer, with A/C , inside /outside shower- inside W/C -,25 GAL fresh water tank awning/ table 15 watt solar system, Generator, & 2- 1/2 gal propane tank , on demand hot water heater , roof rack, and a fantastic fan w/remote 15" BF Goodrich A/T Tires Xtra tire and rear hitch for bikes.
I sell the High Altitude XT50 at Blue Dog Rv in Troutdale Oregon. It is fantastic for off grid back country camping.
Don't know about living off-grid in one of these forever, but for a week or two - sure. I especially liked the axle-less suspension.
I always enjoy watching your videos...Very Exciting...Now, I don't know if its just my computer, but the writing on the bottom of the video hides the campers.

Off grid is a good thing
Lovely suggestions. I would like to whatc these campers and trailers in snow and beaches 9r desert, for test it.
I like the last one, number 10,cheap and look good, and you can tow with small car
Great reviews. I think you missed another great option for off-grid folks, Turtleback Trailers out of Chandler, AZ.
I wish I could see more from Canada
Hell with it. For less of a price, i can get myself a very nice insulated tent/canopy that i can toss in the back of my rig along with all the amenities i need to live off the grid.
I think you shoud go for it!!!!!

Is #10 to #1, is how you rate them? Appreciate the Honorable Mention Trailers too.
I would like any one of these. But, the 30 to 40 thousand dollar price is ridiculous!!!
Tell that to both market value and inflation.
Where do you get your prices they are all 10-20k below what the websites list
Hey what about the opus line of innovative pop up off road campers? Easily one of the most engineered products on the market.
SOME NEW CAMPERS FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT LIKE THE MINIS! SOME GOOD CHOICES TO LOOK AT I DID!!!
I wish I could afford one😅
Most affordable mini campers? I really want one for my camping adventures with my jeep
The Vorsheer XOC model is $49K to $55K not the $30K USD price listed in the video. Where did you get that price?
Where did you find the footage for the atlas one?
Most of these are WAAAY over priced. Keep looking.

Would it be okay to tow one of these behind a regular utility trailer? My trailer loaded only weighs 2800lbs i have a towing capacity of 7000lbs
No, I like the grid. :)
Did you hear about South African camping trailer too? In my mind they must be in the top 10
Maybe? What's the company or model name?
@@mindseyedesign Bushwakka and Conquerer. The Model’s are sundowner or Comfort
I really liked #7, but way way out of my budget, I will look for something else I guess,
No more Chandni ??
The number one trailer isn’t even out yet 😂😂😂 , makes sense.
When I was younger, I used to go camping alot,and have fun with it, fishing, cooking at the beach, swimming, alot of fun, after you got older,you too busy with the family life and got no time for any things any more, I trying to get my life back, fishing, camping and all the outdoor activities, that was fun and relaxing and I will never forget that feeling, thank you
My vehicle can tow 1600 lbs or less. Any of these trailers filling this criterion?
The Atlas One is apparently not available as of 2023. Anyone know what happened?
Hello MzArlowe, thank you for watching! Could have something to do with covid. Not sure though.
Should have looked at Overkillcampers in Bend Oregon... beyond these guys

Where is the Bean?
Keep it under 10,000us dollars good price .. it's a trailer .. or else build our own .. easy trailer rack and pop up tent .. under 4000 dollars ... So keep on building ...
That's funny I was actually thinking the same..so let's go to the drawing board..lol
I concur, a buddy of mine in Brandon is top level machinist and builds them sells for about 10-13$ Canadian
Jl detour 13,000 is about 10,000 US. Not positive on price with options but fairly certain in that range
Yeah why are they 50k on up a black series starts at 80k you can buy Diesel pusher LOL
You know it costs more to build your own right? unless you are plumber, electrician and carpenter🙄.
So many good manufacturers and not a single european one among them! We are again asleep at the switch…
My psychiatrist says I’ve been “off grid” for many years. 🥳
🤣
Patriot Campers?
Inflation is nutz.
Hello Anakala Maui, thank you for watching! Yes it has been bad the last couple years. I can't believe how much prices have gone up on campers lately.
Is there a teardrop trailer to sleep a young family of 4? I've been trying to find anything small for my family.
No Boundaries makes a handful of smaller trailers for small families. You won't find a tear drop that sleeps more than two. Unless it has a rooftop tent on top of it.

$30,000? People, we are far too smart to pay that kind of price. Wow I wouldn't pay 10k. They are nice but not 30k nice
They are pricey. I just like to see what is out there,
Not much in the way of a review! If you plan on living off grid, you should consider having a unit that is capable thru 4 seasons. I am not sure that you want to be cooking or showering outside while in the northern states of the USA in the winter months. Try that in Montana or Wyoming in December. Not only would that be a real pain but its just not practical. A true of grid camper should be all the challenges of being of grid in my opinion.
Not sure but seems like you are missing an important point. This trailer is designed to allow you to go off grid and off road, not LIVE off grid. Show me something in this form factor that is. I can wait.
It’s pronounced as it is spelled, button, not buttin.
Why is a base model camper $30,000. That’s ridiculous. You could make a really nice one yourself for probably 5 or 6k tops
Let me know how it turns out for you!!!!
Because alot of people these days are confused by a screwdriver, let alone a power saw.
Funny how none of these even consider having to use a restroom. Guess you buy a 20 = 50 grand a unit and still got no pot to piss in. Wanna see something cool? For about the same price check out mini toy haulers.

That's not a camper. It's a trailer.
All too expensive.....
