CONQUEROR Compact Platinum2 | Off Road Trailer | Walk Around | Impressions
Is it a Beast?
After purchasing and owning this off road camping trailer, my family and I have traveled a mere 8800 Km's in the 2 years since purchase. I term it the beast, based on storage and the awning footprint.
Having overland traveled to Mozambique, Kruger National Park, and recently, the Nxai Pans & Makgadikgadi Pans National Reserve, in Botswana, I have been impressed by this off-road camper trailer, seriously.
Watch this episode to find out more about this, the smallest off-road camper trailer from the Conqueror Connection brand here in South Africa and Australia.
*Thank you to cameraman - Sean (LEGEND FELLA)
Does it hold up to being "BEAST" for you? What do you think? and, is off-road camping, in an overlander ready trailer something you are looking at doing.

It is a great trailer for sure, but they all have their slight short comings. A trailer is a good setup for a minimum of a 4 night stay. It is quite a bit of work, but once you have the process, it has so many great benefits

@morelpaul1 4 года назад

Have the Compact 2 non platinum, share all of your sentiments, a fantastic trailer, very very functional and practical. Appreciate your open and honest approach about things like the L-Awning, the extra weight of the sides and the awkward access to the large side opening fridge, however I still feel there is no other trailer that would serve my needs better than this. Also being a bit vertically challenged I carry a small plastic caravan step which makes the world of difference, especially when setup on uneven ground. I am definitely saving for the 270degree quick pitch awning.

@4x4ventures_southafrica 4 года назад

Absolutely, and thank you for your comment mate. The 270° awning will be a game changer for us. Just hope it shares a similar footprint for shade and coverage, but then again, for those one nighters, it will be well well worth it. I see conqueror offer a 270° awning on hydraulic struts. When we get there it is definitely on my list of needs. Thanks again. Keep well and keep supporting 🤟

@Fergus_Afrique 3 года назад

I have a Compact 2 and looking at installing a tentco 270 awning

@Capture36 2 года назад

Great information, thanks. With this trailer what do you do for the bathroom and toilet. Almost all the videos don't discuss this? Thank's

@4x4ventures_southafrica 2 года назад

Hi Andre, as an option you can ask for a privacy cubicle with shower attachments that sets up on the side of the trailer next to the main tent cabin. However, for anumber 2 you would have to carry a portable camp toilet, that you would setup in the cubicle. Storing a porta loo would be done in the back of the trailer. Cleaning the porta loo would be a daily activity mind you, and requires water and chemicals. We normally dig a hole, when I'm without my tribe, but with my tribe I used to book camp grounds that have ablution facilities. Hope this helps. Cheers

The setup time is the biggest drawback for me on this unit - 30/40 minutes. Those springs are a marine concept when yachts are at anchor or tide off in the marina.

Thanks for the review and What an awesome trailer with lots of storage compartment. I also have the Compact 2 but not the platinum model mine is 2014 model. my question is that i want to install Solar setup on my trailer. i see u have mounted the regulator just above the battery on the luggage side compartment. should i put mine that side and where can i take mine for installation in Gauteng? Regards,

@4x4ventures_southafrica 4 года назад

Hey Thabo, thanks for the comment. First off, you can get your solar regulator from Conqueror Connection North Gate (Guateng) in Guateng. Speak to Marius, Ren or Vivian. They can assist for sure. This is where I get my trailer serviced, cleaned and purchased from. Excellent service. You don't have to mount your regulator there, it just suited myself. Look at the 105 W Flexopower Solar Panels X 2. Conqueror also sells them and a fantastic product that works with most setups. Thanks again 🤟

@mitchellanddonnabrooke2177 3 года назад

Hey Ryan. Thats my preferred trailer, hoping to get one in the near future. I'd probably go for the extendable awning option though. By the way have you added a chip to your van to gain extra power?

@4x4ventures_southafrica 3 года назад

Hey Mitchell, yeh, I use the power + pedal booster. Works a treat. No ECU chips or remaps. Too expensive mate. The 270 awning would be an absolute pleasure, but at the compromise of some shade skimming

I always do a service before a long trip. Things to look out for; Tighten wheel nuts Check if wheel bearings are good Check the coupler dampner Battery us fully charged Fridge is working Carry spares, coupler dampner, wheel bearings Check the electrical points work between vehicle and trailer Check water pump works Clean out water tanks if water tastes funny Good to go. Our trips were normally 15 to 20 days, so my preference was to get the trailer serviced with the above Check list. Hope this helps

@Fergus_Afrique 3 года назад

Thanks for the informative and enthusiastic review. I’ve decided I will buy a Conqueror trailer before my Moremi trip in July. Can you recommend a dealer as I stay in Durban and there are no distributors here. I don’t know which model I need, I travel alone and don’t want a big tented area, I want minimal awning and don’t want a 6m tent. If you have a favorite contact let me know please. As I don’t know which model for 2 max people.

@4x4ventures_southafrica 3 года назад

Hi Fergus, thanks for reaching out mate, and glad you have made your decision on a conqueror camping trailer. A solid but of kit and very reliable. The only place I can recommend you contact is conqueror North Gate. Speak to Marius, and let him k ow I pushed you forward. He is a great chap and will sort you out proper. As far as models go . . . As a single camper I would advise you go for the trailer I own. The conqueror compact. For awning ask for the 270 degree bat awning. As for the tent, there is an option to replace the tent with something like the iKamper sky camp mini. An excellent product that would look great on the conqueror. Email me at ryananimation@gmail.com and I can push through contact numbers. Good stuff legend, and thank you for your comment. Cheers Ryan

@4x4ventures_southafrica 3 года назад

Hi Grant, I purchased D Link shackles from 4x4megaworld strijdom Park. The heaviest rated I think? But, look at 4x4 recovery from Wilddog4x4, excellent products made locally. Speak to Jaques and he will give you the best advice when it comes to any form of recovery. The D Link shackles are mounted to the recovery points that come with the rival 4x4 front and back bumpers, also rated for recoveries, and bolt up to the chassis struts direct, behind the bumpers exterior. Hope this helps

@grantfindlay6744 3 года назад

@@4x4ventures_southafrica Thanks very much for your reply,sorry i thought i had done it already. Just one question,you say a "D" shacle,but if i look at your car it looks like a bow shackle. I think its just the term people tend to use,but they say a "D" shackle must not be used,it must be a rated bow shackle. I also dont think Fords really need recovery points do they?!!!!!!

@4x4ventures_southafrica 3 года назад

Hey Grant, yes, you are absolutely right. Rated Bow Shackles. I have added the front and rear RIVAL bumpers, so they come with rated recovery points. I stand to be corrected, but the Ford's only have a tie down point at the front right of vehicle. I have got unused recovery points for the Ford, brand new. Maybe time to get them fitted, still not convinced on doing snatch strap recoveries on bumper bow shackles.
