Taylor: incredibly concise review of a well thought out trailer. Bravo! Thanks for sharing. We are getting ready to spec out an off Road hiker and your build provides some great build ideas.
I love the fact that you matched the rims and tyres - I always thought that was a no-brainier until I started looking closely at a lot of the trailers being towed out there.
The way the rear stabilizer jacks drop down is awesome. I have an Intech because i needed more flexibility to use it as an equipment hauler, but I must say Hiker trailers a very well thought out.
I wish I had watched this video before my build, my EOR has a right swinging spare and my galley door opens just like yours...major PITA...wish they'd make it standard....Nice video, thanks Matt! And thanks Taylor for the tour!!
This is another level of overland bad-A. I could live with my pup in that setup. the reason for the fridge being in the tow vehicle is spot on. I never thought of that. I always either double witha cooler in it or suffered warm snacks and drinks. LOL. just fantastic.
Fantastic use of limited storage space and functional design. Trailer looks tough as nails. Surprised seeing a axle. I would've thought some kind of independent suspension would be incorporated in the build since the trailer looks so offroad ready. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome setup. I like the idea with having the cooler in the car. Especially when in bear country. Would not want to have the bear tear apart my sleeping quarters.
I love that size trailer not hard to pull not much to fix on it capable of getting where you would not dare take a 16 ft Jayco or Winnie Minnie. teardrops and square drops are the ultimate to get anywhere camping.
@@MWDAdventures I just stumbled across another company out here that's a hard contender on this version. earthshipoverland.com/services/ Scroll down to the bottom and you'll see what I mean.
Wow that camper has basically everything you need! Well designed and thought out. I am on the fence about putting the cooler/fridge in the back of galley or in the trunk of your car. Anyone else out there have this dilemma pls provide the cons/pros of either choice. Finally, after the trailer was supped up, what was the final cost, incl all options and add-ons? if you don't mind. :) Thank you for the vid! Very informative. Cheers,
Silver Fox- Great video and an even better build out. There was a question in the comments about overall weight and tongue weight of this build. Wa that question ever answered? Matt- Please continue to do what you and your wife do. They are an excellent source of information. Have a blessed day
Well done very nice set up. The lights on the bottom of the rock rails look like they would be damaged in off roading. Perhaps add the lights to the inside of the rails instead of the bottom.
I realize they're hitting a very competitive/attractive price point with their trailers, but any thoughts about moisture/mold long-term with the wood panel construction?
Matt Jacques I have had mine for a year now and no condensation issues. Condensation is cracking a top vent for breath and a side window. I also use a mat under my mattress. Check out my channel for my talk on condensation . No issues with wood.
Very nice I'm in N J sad but true I I'm happy that you share the ins and outs of of a good tralier I have a 2015 crv and planning a trip across the great USA will my crv honda be able to handle. my max tow is 1500 . any info to my trip would be very appreciated, thank you so much. and safe travels😊😎😊😎
Hiker makes two additional models of trailers below the Off road (mid range and highway) that have much lower weight. I own the highway (street use only) and it's only about 1000 lbs. Mid Range is fire road worthy and weight a bit more but likely under the 1500 lb limit depending on options added.
BAD ASS trailer camper... Gives me some great ideas for mine.
Grow up son and stop spewing immature vulgarity. How pathetic.
dude went all out on his trailer added some useful
mods nice trailer
This is by far one of the more informative walk-through. Well done!
My biggest concern with the available off road campers is storage space. You have given me numerous economical ides for that. Thank you!

Best looking set up I've seen. Well thought out and half the price of some of the other off road trailers.
She has really got her stuff together. What a great review on a great little camper.
Fred Wilson deep voice
@@sylviawelsh9518 LOL! Nice
Incredibly well thought out. I'll be stealing some of these ideas on my own camper trailer. Thanks for sharing!
That trailer is super impressive! I love all the organization it's so well thought out.
The way the rear stabilizer jacks drop down is awesome. I have an Intech because i needed more flexibility to use it as an equipment hauler, but I must say Hiker trailers a very well thought out.
Awesome tour! So much inspiration gained for when we finally get our Hiker Trailer! Thank you!
THe thinking and logic to the setup. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! R E S P E C T
I wish I had watched this video before my build, my EOR has a right swinging spare and my galley door opens just like yours...major PITA...wish they'd make it standard....Nice video, thanks Matt! And thanks Taylor for the tour!!
Fantastic job! My favorite takeaway is using straps and bungee cords to secure everything. Thank you for sharing.

That was a superb video and your explanations and ideas were fantastic. Very grateful that you shared it. Way to go!!
Very nice rig and well thought out and organized. I hope to someday have something like it.
Fantastic use of limited storage space and functional design. Trailer looks tough as nails. Surprised seeing a axle. I would've thought some kind of independent suspension would be incorporated in the build since the trailer looks so offroad ready. Thanks for sharing.
The loss of independent suspension is part of why the cost of this trailer is lower than most others...
Though air suspension is pretty nice..😊
Love the Rig & how its set-up... Some great Ideas! I have been looking to purchase....
Great ideas for organization that will be useful in my camper build - thanks for sharing!
Fantastic review! Bad ass! Thank you for sharing!
Awesome setup. I like the idea with having the cooler in the car. Especially when in bear country. Would not want to have the bear tear apart my sleeping quarters.
My thoughts exactly. I have my cooler in the same location. If I know we are not in bear country then I will put it outside under the awning.
Love love love the entire set up !!!
I love that size trailer not hard to pull not much to fix on it capable of getting where you would not dare take a 16 ft Jayco or Winnie Minnie. teardrops and square drops are the ultimate to get anywhere camping.
Agreed
Very good video. I've watched it multiple times since you released it.
WOW... Taylor's setup is awesome, Mahalo for your review
Sweet rig. Well laid out. I am currently in a Winnebago Micro Minnie getting ready to scale down to that size platform. Safe travels y'all.
There is NO doubt this, all in, with ad-ons and equipment is $27-30,000. But for what that gives you, worth it!
As a south Texan that camps the gulf coast some Im more concerned with having an A/C. I can bring a gas powered generator
That's an awesome set up. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely dialed in
Great setup! Thanks for sharing.
No problem. Better next time. Great video. Thanks
Great video walk around ! Now I'm torn between the deluxe and this one! DAMN IT!
it was a nice rig.

Nice set up , Thanks 4 Sharing .
Nice set up and thank you for detailed review of everything
Sweeeet set up! Awesome video! 👍😃❤️
Excellent job! Exactly a me trailer and so well thought out. Thank you for sharing.
Very nice setup
Great review and excellent ideas to improve storage and trailer use. Love our 4Runner too. Best mid size SUV, bar none.
Nice trailer Tyler
Great setup!!
Ya Man, nice Rig!

Thats a nice setup newbie here going to get one of those
This was refreshing. Most women aren't that handy or knowledgeable of all the technical specs.
Silver Fox- Great video and an even better build out. There was a question in the comments about overall weight and tongue weight of this build. Wa that question ever answered? Matt- Please continue to do what you and your wife do. They are an excellent source of information. Have a blessed day
Unfortunately, I don't think she ever got back with that info, sorry.
I would like to use all these ideas on my Teardrop camper build, a nice rig indeed
Did I just see exposed wood under that trailer? You should check out Bean Trailer and their one piece fiberglass shell construction.
Looks like he’s got a lot of exposed wood under the trailer !
LMAO
Great walk around extremely informative and helpful. I fell in love with this #hikertrailer . TY
Well done very nice set up. The lights on the bottom of the rock rails look like they would be damaged in off roading. Perhaps add the lights to the inside of the rails instead of the bottom.
Mark Haynes good idea.
Thank you so much Matt, that was awesome. So many great idea's.
Well thought out set up!!
Nice build with lots of great ideas. Well done!
DAMN!! THAT'S A NICE TRAILER!!
Well thought out. Thanks for showing. Making me want to get up and go..Anywhere! Nothing like a woman's touch
Sam Gevorkian There’s a woman?
Awesome builds! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome rig
AWESOME Trailer..thank you for sharing!!!!
Beautiful Explanation!!.. Is she a Teacher or instructor ? 😮😊😁🤗
AWESOME!!!
Thanks for the video !
Thanks for brilliant ideas that I can use.
Very nice
Love it!
Great review!
Thank you for sharing your your well thought out trailer 👍🇺🇸
Yes it’s your camper you can screw in it if you want to #facts
Smart Lady!!
I got some wicked deja vu 😂😂😂
great setup
Wow!
That is awesome, good job!
Great job with the walk around very nice
Nice trailer
How's Taylor pulling her HT with the 4runner?
The seal job around the solar panel and roof fan are not well done. What’s the rest of the Hiker quality like? You know, the stuff we can’t see.
Love the set up! Can you tell me where you got the organizer on the back door?
I believe it was amazon
Taking a poll...why don't you use "nitro" to air up and air down your tires?
I'm guessing that Taylor is an Engineer. Technical, precise, troubleshooter, can do anything except smile.
Great video with lots of information! Maybe a silly question, but how do solve the „bathroom“ question?
campground that is easy. off grid there are many options from portable toilets to digging a hole it all depends on your level of comfort.
I realize they're hitting a very competitive/attractive price point with their trailers, but any thoughts about moisture/mold long-term with the wood panel construction?
Matt Jacques I have had mine for a year now and no condensation issues. Condensation is cracking a top vent for breath and a side window. I also use a mat under my mattress. Check out my channel for my talk on condensation . No issues with wood.
Amazing thoughtful job on this setup!
Nice setup!
whats the depth of the meshed metal platform in front of the trailer box. please and thank you.
Thanks
Great walk around. I would like to know how the under body holds up to the elements on and off road.
I wish I had an answer for you. Our mid range after one season is holding up just fine.
Very good yes ..😁pip pips and carryon
Cha Ching!!
Great video Matt! Is this a 5x9 or 5x10 trailer?
Impressive!
Is the road shower necessary with a 21 gallon tank?
How tall is Taylor's family, curious about the bed size.
The inside of these trailers can hold a queen size bed. Not sure on how tall Taylor's family is.

Awesome review... sweet stuff
Nice
nice, piano hinge on the underside of the wood though? i'd lose a toe on that one, lol
great camper would be good in the australian desert, what model is the ARB fridge?
cheers BIll
Nice trailer, Question, this trailer has air suspension yet you still have levelling jacks, does the suspension not have a levelling feature?
TheTorkerman-Adam good question I am not sure Taylor could answer that one.
