I would rather watch a video like yours that show personal innovation adding to basic equipment. Too many people just throw money at things to show off. Doing things yourself makes it more useful personally.
Nice job Mike! Jake and Cam are great guys make an amazing camper!! I pick mine up in 71 hours and 28 mins, but who's counting? 😎
Nice! Congrats. You will love it. Those guys are great up there. Make sure you meet Joe Harker. He's awesome too.
This was a very thorough review and well thought out build! Great job.
That Harker EDC looks like a winner! Nice job on the video. New sub here.
Great job Mike, I have followed your journey since you started on your Jeep.
Excellent video Mike and nice job on the mods. Thanks for posting, it's a big help in seeing what's possible and making a buy decision.
Great! I'm glad it helps. Still Love mine! If you end up using my affiliate link please let me know. They do pay affiliate commission
Will do
Making my purchase tomorrow, thanks for the referral Mike!
@@etiennesprangers1953 awesome ! You’ll love it. I really enjoyed building mine out inside too!
Big fan of this product just from watching this video! I need to see one in person, but great features! Seems so obvious to put mounting rails all around, not sure why some competitors do not include these.
I really like the side rails but I know some competitors make the sides hinge at the top and lift open. Advantages to both I think. Thanks for watching
Probably the best video on the Harker EDC I’ve seen yet. Good Job.
With your tail gate kit installed how do you find the dust intrusion with this style truck camper.
Are they difficult to remove and install?
Mine really seems sealed up quite well. I have no seen much dust intrusion. Removing the whole camper doesn't seam very practical. I plan to leave mine on all the time. I did see that Harker has just partnered with a company to make removal more easy using their system by Riptopper. Check them out with a google search.
@@adventuremikesgarage Rapid Topper is the name of the company that makes the system. I'm considering getting one 👍
Hi Mike , it was good to see you at the Harker hang out. How did you go about installing your rotorpax to your accessory bar?
I bought a locking rotopax mount and just bolted it to the bar with 2 bolts. Like this one from Amazon. amzn.to/4coddLJ
Great! I have a Gladiator and I am currently searching an overlanding solution. Could very well be this thing. However, would love to see you use the passthrough window between car and EDC....
I love that widow mainly for the visibility out the back when combined with the rear hatch window. It’s a cool center slider window that also unlatches to allow you to fold it down and clean the other side and the outside of the truck back window. I’ve never actually used the window for passing anything through.
this is the most in depth video i've seen on the harker edo so far. they should be paying you residuals on their sales! one question i have though is related to a third brake light on the unit. you seem like a very thorough person, so i thought you might know. i asked them about it and they made me feel like no one else has ever asked about it. i mean, the third brake light has been a federally mandated requirement since the late 80's or early 90's right? do you have any suggestions?
Maybe add one to the tailgate of the truck? That would be easiest
that’s a good suggestion but that’s something i would need to do and unfortunately i’m not quite as handy as yourself… most of their competitors offer a solution even if it’s just the wiring from the truck bed. they should really consider adding an option for it. i mean the installation of the camper is preventing the factory installed and federally mandated brake light from being displayed 😢
Can you put the hatch back and close the trunk before sleeping so safely won't be compromised?
I feel like if a grizzly (bear or man) 😂 trying to dig it nose in, it might find the weak point
No. The back is closed in by a tent to create a larger space on the EDC model. The EXO model I think is designed for use like that. The hatch stays on
Instead of the annexe , can they just make a shorter version, just to cover the tent part, like most clam shell tents come off the shelf.
Check their site. They make an XPO that is like standard ones
Oh yeah. EXO. Thanks for sharing. This is a game changer for me.@@adventuremikesgarage
Hey Mike will you let me know when. U have time to talk about your build
I’m available pm me on Facebook. Michael Feidler
Does that outdoor light have a redlight?
No. That one is white
How’s that awning?
It has worked fine. I really like the option to add the room under it
How is the seal overall on the camper and the rear door in particular? I've heard that this style of camper (one lacking a dedicated door) tends to take in a lot of dust from the door area?
Definitely takes a lot of effort to seal up well. Mine seems well sealed now after adding a tailgate gap seal and extra seal around the sides of the tailgate. To me it's very acceptable now.
Mate just buy a foldout table ..that's a shit idea..
Why the hell would you pack another table when the camper has one built in? The essence of light weight camping is having more than one use for everything you carry and by using the rear hatch for a table you have the huge advantage of being able to walk in instead of crawling on your knees. This is bloody genius. 🤟
In a world of $30k-$80k+ Overlanding basic bed campers and square drop trailers. A starting price of $9k+- plus options isn't bad at all.
The options and extra mods you made came across as well thought out for the way you use it. Didn't know it doesn't come with benches or cabinets. 😮
Would you say you're all in about $15k? + Blue YETI and refrigerator. 😊
Just subbed. 👍💪🏞🏕🛠
38:15 Great looking Garage set up.
Yep. Probably in about $15k turn key and many hours
Dang, well done video and setup. How much did you save doing the accessories yourself vs buying from Harker, you did a nice job replaceing them.
@@jeffbettenga Probably thousands! But it was a LOT of work and research to try and find things that would work. Unless fabricating is your specialty I would just about recommend buying as much of it completed the way you want it. I probably have 60 hours of build time in mine and more counting the research and ordering of windows, hatches, caulk etc.
