Sweet bro. Might as well throw some tie downs or rail on the lid so you can strap things to the top of it between the tent. Great project, when the white Ute getting a make over? 👌
Water is one thing - that bloody fine bulldust is another ! A good trip will show up any weaknesses , take some spare tools and straps and have fun breaking her in 🤠
As a No5 trailer owner and user, I can say brakes and shocks are game changers. Please do both. I just used oem hilux shock out of the bin at my local peders dealer. They were pretty new at the time.
As the owner of a 6 by 4 camper trailer, yours is good. I took a standard 6 by 4 trailer, had a canopy made for it, added King Quiky Rooftop tent and a set of 4 by 4 drawers. I have a 120 amp battery and 40 litres of water in 4 plastic cans. But I like yours. Happy camping. You never know, we just might meet up one day.
You have done a good job. After 20 years in the army I never rolled one. And they do float. I have rowed them down many a river. Strapped Jerry cans on the outside. We called them a 1 ton trailer. I also daisy chained 6 of them together. Well done
Looks fantastic Tom I’m very impressed with the finish product only thing I probably would do is change the tow hitch on it and probably do brakes on it
Lol had to laugh as the weight for a un braked trailer is 0nly 750 agm (tare) weight. So if your trailer weighed 680kg witch is very heavy for such a small trailer . So by the time you filled your water tanks up plus minus 70kg you can't put more weight into her. Better put that beast of a girl on a strict diet lol. I recently built a 8x5 foot trailer and the sides is 450mm high and it only weighed 340kg. Good luck as it's a real pain to apply for a Vin number. Good luck.
Nice effort mate , I probably would have went a different way with the hitch , I can see circumstances where that is going to drive you utterly nuts banging around. Longer draw bar does make them nicer too tow , I’ve built and rebuilt a few trailers over the years and all of them I extended the draw bar a tad , On my caravan too , my last trip with the big old rechassised caravan it towed like it was on a laser beam for 5000 K’s , I also replaced the old brakes with nice new hydraulic brakes , ( electric would have been nice too) , so much nicer to have good trailer brakes , did you end up fitting brakes ?
I hate to be that person but the kings tourer RTT only weighs 60kg. It’s like just less than 10% the weight of the trailer. Edit: Now that I look at those figures that isn’t crazy. Sorry 😂
Look at the 9 minute mark, specifically the arm on the steering wheel: Is it just me or do you have a terrible imbalance in your front wheels? Because its either that or the roads you drive on are much worse then roads of the poorest ex-soviet country...
The tail light choice and placement is ridiculous for a purpose built offroad trailer! They are the lowest point and completely unprotected. 1st decent stepdown they are gone...
The trailer looks good dude. I’d be more concerned about dust getting through all your shit with that back seal Unless you goin deep water crossing then it might be a muddy concern
Fully sick bro💪🤙🇦🇺. Well done mate looks so good. Been working on my trailer lately can’t wait to get it all workin. Go the brakes mate they make a heap of a difference. Little expensive to set up though.
MATE WHEN YOU PUT WEIGHT IN IT THERE WILL BE NO WEIGHT ON THE DRAWBAR AND IT WILL BE ALL OVER THE PLACE WHEN YOU DRIVE THERE SHOULD BE AT LEAST 10% OF ITS WEIGHT ON THE DRAW BAR.
And you haven’t got enough ball weight it should have 10% of the total weight on the ball 680kg should be 68kg on the ball. If you have to much weight behind the axle it will start to sway down the high way
Just found your channel. Love it. This trailer is awesome. I love it. I have a new (well new to me but second hand) Suzuki Grand Vitara. It’s my daily drive but weekend warrior. Can’t wait to do more off-road stuff. Have done a couple of beach drives and fire roads of our local national parks.
my caravan that sleeps 6 fullly loded with off grid and three mountain bikes and 80 lt water two 9kg gas bottles is only 750 kg not having a dig just saying keep the vids comening
Awesome job mate. I would definitely get brakes for it as legally it's only allowed to be 750kg fully loaded and if you get pulled over and weighed you'll be up shit creek. But the thing looks tough AF.
Gr8 job mate, love the build & series. I have never had electric brakes, but I guess they would help control a lot better in slow, steep 4wd decent type scenario’s. Good vids. Cheers
Here I was pondering on doing a camper trailer out of a hilux tub and you pop up on you tube with this!?!? Must be a sign lol, can’t wait to see what’s next 👍🇦🇺
Is it true that coal is for sale?! I saw it on Facebook market place for sale. Such an awesome build. Trailer turned out perfect and looks wicked behind coal.
because that's a landrover trailer it has a fixed lunette eye and the land rovers have a rotating pintle hook which is other way around to normal. normally you have a fixed pintle hook and a rotating lunette eye. the way you're setup both are fixed which won't be an issue unless you get the trailer on a steep enough side angle to bind the hitch, or worse case you roll the tralier and it tips the nissan as well or just breaks the trailer or tow bar.
well certainly a big difference than the Army trailer, i have towed the basic trailer quite a lot many years ago. just watch the body roll on rough terrain as they will go over! a lithium battery will save you a few kg as well. great build well done..
This has been bloody good to watch mate. Great to see someone just havin a go without a $200 000 budget. Just grabbed a couple shirts to help out legend!
heyyy - i followed you on this one with every episode.. and yes, youve done well.. looking at you from all the way in the caribbean... awesome build series bro !!
It's crazy how quick weight adds up. Looking forward to the next video series installing brakes and upgrading the capacity! :p
Spoiler alert
very good your videos. I'm building a camper and the information is very important.
Looks mad!. Good job🤙🇦🇺
Thanks mate!!
Sweet bro. Might as well throw some tie downs or rail on the lid so you can strap things to the top of it between the tent. Great project, when the white Ute getting a make over? 👌
Yeah great idea!! Thank you!
For Americans: Weight is roughly 1550 lbs. Which is super light. My full size camper weighs over 7,000 pounds.
please dont rap ever again!😆
Don’t tell me my rap career is already over 😅

He said 680 Tone hahaha its Kgs mate but good video can't wait to see it on the tracks and camping!!!!
Yeah haha I know it was just a bit of sarcasm haha
Thanks mate!!!

Awesome to see it fully complete and the content to come with it. Keep up the great work on the channel! 👌🏼

worst trailer hitch I have ever seen.
Will work harden then snap.
The noise will be aggravating.
💂great job well done 👏👏👏 just swap pintal to army brake pintal 👍 🍻 💂

Thanks mate!! They are super expensive but I reckon it needs them hey!
Why you selling the car? I saw you listed it on Facebook marketplace
Why don’t you look for a treg hitch on market place. You can pick them up pretty cheap on there.
Look 👀 out big red lol
MATE WHEN YOU PUT WEIGHT IN IT THERE WILL BE NO WEIGHT ON THE DRAWBAR AND IT WILL BE ALL OVER THE PLACE WHEN YOU DRIVE THERE SHOULD BE AT LEAST 10% OF ITS WEIGHT ON THE DRAW BAR.
If it was me, id put the tent under the frame and use that frame for a boat loader for a tinnie or kayaks or bikes 🤷♂️ thats imo
Congratulations mate it’s definitely been an exciting build to watch. now get out there and enjoy it you and the family deserve it bud 🍻
Hi there, new to the chanel, nice diy's. What wheels ( rims ) are you running on the ute and trailer ?
Super tare! 👍👍 Un gând bun din Dristor DC! România! 👍👍
@12:43 680t!
it's so small putting a canopy on tray would have given more space.
Theres not 680 tonnes of steel in that build buddy
Finally the trailer is sitting loud and proud behind coal
Yeww!!
Doing the same to mine at the moment. What did you paint it with?
Wrong hitch mate, it’s supposed to rotate
Fkn ya. That's one bad a** trailer. Cool👍
hey what brand is your front box thank you looks great
Why you selling the car mate? Saw it on marketplace
Family rig incoming!
man is the ute sold? i saw it for sale. what the reason for selling it?
Man that is not light that is heavy. The average 8x5 box trailer is around 200-250kg that’s way to heavy. You better go get heavier axle and brakes
And you haven’t got enough ball weight it should have 10% of the total weight on the ball 680kg should be 68kg on the ball. If you have to much weight behind the axle it will start to sway down the high way
My guess was 687kg's! Haha pretty close!
$35 is a bloody robbery! 😮
Yeah , inflation mate , I remember wheat used cost 20 bucks for semi , but here we are today.
Checkout my welding jobs
Hey mate i loved how u make this and it inspired me to start planning out my own kinda camping rig, how much did this all cost you? Cheers
Thanks mate! Was around about 6-7k 🙌
Paint petrol cans same colour as grey cab 👍🏼
Awesome trailer mate. Shame you sold the trol.
How much did the trailer cost all up?
Selling coal saw it on marketplace
Nice job mate, good to see it finished!
Can’t wait to see how it goes for a trip and with a new hitch, I know those pintles can be noisey as f. 🤙🏼
Thanks mate! So keen to get it out with a new hitch!
@@RoamLyfe are you selling your patrol because i saw an add for cole on fb market
That's a cool looking ute too, mate. The cops in WA give us yellow stickers (unroadworthy) if the tyres extend beyond the flares. It sucks...
Did you end up selling the patrol
When you doing the hard tracks

I was surprised how heavy it is considering my MDC 2012 camper is unbraked from the factory. Makes me think I need to weigh it and get it braked
Weight is the evil that opposes our progress.
Short term - There's at least 30kg in the spare wheel?
Nice build though. Kudos.
Your Trailer looks like a dream! Just curious what was the build budget?
Awesome job mate. I would definitely get brakes for it as legally it's only allowed to be 750kg fully loaded and if you get pulled over and weighed you'll be up shit creek. But the thing looks tough AF.

What snow foam do you use bra

well certainly a big difference than the Army trailer, i have towed the basic trailer quite a lot many years ago. just watch the body roll on rough terrain as they will go over! a lithium battery will save you a few kg as well. great build well done..
Was Cole up on Facebook?
This has been bloody good to watch mate. Great to see someone just havin a go without a $200 000 budget. Just grabbed a couple shirts to help out legend!
Looks good mate
What’s the measurement from the ground to the top of the rear door. I’m looking at doing something similar but with a lift off canopy
heyyy - i followed you on this one with every episode.. and yes, youve done well.. looking at you from all the way in the caribbean... awesome build series bro !!
What size is the trailer?
Should get some shocks
Good stuff. Just for clarity it's a pintle hook and lunette ring. But you can call it a donut if you want 😉
Looks awesome mate.
But don’t loose that pin that holds your hitch down.
Looking forward to the next build 👍🏽
You should make your own camper company because what you’ve made is world class 🔥
Love that build mate. Well done.🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️🍺👍
mate you gotta swap those wheels for the same as you have on your car. Then it will be a matched combo!
Mate, with the price of diesel what it is right now that heavy pull up the road made my eyes water!
Looks sick brah, chuck some of that foam seal between the tailgate and that classy table
Nice work on the extra leg. The whole setup is Schmick. Great work!
should try some of that spray on ceramic spray might help the trailer with water
Amazing achievement mate, you should be super-proud. Can't wait to see what you have for us next!
you should move the trailer spare tyre to coal and free up some extra weight on the trailer 👌
That is an awesome bit of kit mate! Looking forward to more builds 👍
I’ll guessing 630 mate, look great 👍🏼
Looks awesome, great setup, would love to have a camper like that for our trips away 🇳🇿
Badass man
This man setting standards! Love the build mate !
Yo, cheers legend! 🤘🤘
@@RoamLyfe anytime mate, you put a lot into it! Incredible build
Total cost?
weird question but if its for the family, were is ther baby gonna sit to go on trips if you take coal?
Family car inbound haha
It’s a bit surreal seeing coal the patrol on marketplace
Love the build where did you get the toolbox?
Great job on the trailer👍I’d be changing that hitch though.
You beaut
enjoyed the build mate, well done, looks awesome behind Coal
Very nice, how much did the build cost all up ?
Hi mate. Absolutely brilliant job, you should be proud of yourself. Give Diesel a pat for me.....!!!!!
Thanks Malcolm! Appreciate that mate!
Really enjoyed this series mate. It’s inspired my daughter and I to start building something similar together 👍🏻
So happy with the finished product. 😍
Love it
