Homemade offgrid fully electric offroad camper trailer DIY build walk around. 

If you insist on being honest, humble, informative and realistic, your days on RU-vid are numbered Sunshine. 😎

All those comments but forgot the most import thing, bloody well done!!! That is a NICE camper!

I've been following your build from the start. Now seeing it outside and in use, I must commend you on your efforts! Great inspiration for those, like myself, who've thought about doing something similar with their trailers!

Looks great brother, I’m impressed, you should be proud of yourself, looking forward to changes/new mods and coming up trips

Nice work Steve! Looks really great... Coffee off a stove-top unit is just he same... I tell myself all the time.. Cheers Michael

Great series of videos, love your work. Just a tip, change your tap to a 1/2" ball valve from bunnings, then you can fill your hands with water to wash your face and turn tap off with the back of your hand and not waste water

you are killing me!!!!! just bought the iTech world battery monitor........ then saw this! Arrrgh! keep up the awesome work!

Great job Steve. Love the telescopic ladder - they're the ducks gutz

Really nice build.. I'll have to send you some pics of my build.. its a copy cat dot 6 trailer.. yet we went above and beyond and made the roofftop tent.. and pretty much everything ground up.. Im going same with fully offgrid/electric. I loved the last drifta dot which was the edot.. So going 3x 200w solar on the roof of the rtt, i got a 300w 70v solar blanket, so in total 900w solar, Im building my own batteries which will be 2x 340ah with 250a bms, I'll have 160L water tanks or 2x80L and a 12/240v hot water heater for showers and on tap at kitchen.. I got a drifta 270 squareback awning with full drifta canvas wall set, drifta dpor kitchen and storage drawer.. though me and my dad designed a legless system 10x better and stronger then sliding tracks and cheaper for the pull out kitchen.. currently I got a evakool infinity 47L fridge, once finished the trailer I'll also have a 95L evakool dual zone.. in rooftop tent I got 2 usb ports, 2 usb-c/pd port, 4 cig ports.. which I got a 17" laptop to watch movies and tv shows that charges via usb-c and run 1 sirroco 12v fan tho I plan to get another one.. In the rtt it has a 20cm thick firm foam bed.. I can fit 3 blankets, 2 quilts, 2 pillows inside.. and at the back of the rtt I got a storage box.. its a double bed... Also have 3 layer insulation on the roof inside. The canvas for the rtt was made byc razy dog canvas.. its a unique design that no one in the world has color wise which the color theme of the trailer is military - army green, black, and camo.. Still working on it though.. Not fully complete as I'm on disability pension so its hard to save for allot of the things to make it.. but its campable as I done so far 6 camping trips doing 4-5 nights.. And so far ive tested it in heavy rain, 50-60km winds, qld summer heat.. last thing is cold.. so in july going to camp in a place in qld near warwrick in the moutains which temps at night are 0 to -12 and frost so that will be a good test. Ive tried my best to keep it australian made.. Id say its 90% aussie made so far. Also has 2T rebound offroad springs, 16" prado wheels as I got a 90's series prado.

Looks great mate..

I think you've done a great job with the trailer build however with this video you've demonstrated another skill. the ability to transform vehicles: you own a Y62 but the trailer was towed out of your garage with a Prado and then on arriving at the camp site the vehicle changed into a Landcruiser 100. Wow! ;) thanks for the content.

Hey man, for you cable on your induction cooker I would recommend using a cable train. We used one on a build at work recently, works well!

Great job, scratches wont take long

Looks great mate. We have the same toaster....lol..... Now you're a glamper......either in this camper, or the van...... I don't care what anyone says, if you've got a fire, you're camping. Was thinking about upgrading our nespresso pod machine, but decided the grinding of the beans is too much hassle not to mention the cleaning.... My mums' old redback camper used to bounce along the road on the tyres.......suspension wasn't even doing anything.....I'd increase the trye pressure and see how it goes when the suspension is done...... Side note......maybe one of those swing away slides for the cooktop will alleviate the issues with access to the top drawer.........

I was SOOOOO relieved to see it fit out the shed door!🤣

Really impressed with how its come out Steve! Only minor changes you need by the looks of it. Now we need to see it being towed by the Y62 :P

Looking good mate. I agree with changing and modifying as you go, I'm currently on the 5th variation of my drawer/bed set up in the Pajero and hoping for some changes again this year. The same wheels and tyres that you have on yhe Troll will go well on that plus means extra spares if you need them. Air fryer and coffee machine? Really? Lol. Gi camping to get away from all the fancy rubbish lol. In saying that Indont have either of them at hone so really doesn't bother me using a gas burner and kettle.

Camper came up awesome, nice work and can't wait to see future mod videos. Can the cooker and bench be put above the drawer? Then make cut out areas to allow access when it's in use, only issue would be clearance under the sink. Cheers for the hard work on your episodes 🍺

Maybe look into if those panels you have are road legal. Sun glare off those would be a touch dangerous for traffic on a sunny day.

Might be good to move the sink all the way to the outside. Stop the dirty stinky water washing over the trailer constantly. Will you be adding shocks to your axle? And updating the leaves?

Nice camper Steve 👍lookout Patriot Campers. Bet you can't wait to really use it.

Put a little 12v fan in the fridge close to the freezer to circulate the air, this will prevent the frost build up. There are a few videos online with this mod.

I’d love to know how much it weighs and what the registration and engineering process was

So glad to see that plastic stuff get ripped off the ACP! I left it on too long once...never again! Maybe you can mount some solar panels on the hatches? They will charge at a lower but worthwhile rate when they are down and give you a big boost when they are up. That may require upgrading the struts to bear the extra weight. That slide out sink and induction cook top is going to remain a PITA. If/when you put the bigger wheels it will get quite a bit higher - ok for you but not so for the better half. Why not get a small fold out table that fits into the current slide space, fit the stove and cut a hole for the sink and just put it on the ground when you need sink and stove?

Really enjoyed this series from start to finish, and learned some things along the way :) keep up the great videos, roughly in keeping the costs down (yeh right we are men, we never do that) how much did it cost to do?

If you are storing your generator there, make sure its not venting.... You will suck in the smell strait into your fridge area 🤣 My OCD tells me i need to fix up your GPO points & get them to line up.... Did i see a bit of carpet/paint missing under your fridge when you opened the door ? 🤠 Still a Awesome build. Im not sure when putting the bigger wheels on it if it is going to fit back in your shed. It looked close when you were pulling it out 👍

What sort of $$$ do you think you are in for so far ?

In your honest opinion, do you think a small camper like this but more off road capable would be overkill for a solo camper? I've never been a fan of having my 4wd (my only car) fitted with drawer systems, water tanks etc as it just weights too much and kills boot space throughout the week. Would be so good to hitch up on a Friday arvo and just head off knowing everything is already packed in the camper. I also like the idea that if I get another car, my camping set up can remain the same

Looking good one thing what was the name of the battery monitor could not see it on your wall around thanks

Looks Hideous 😂 Happy for ya though mate 👍👍😅

Looks fantastic been following the build. How did it come in on weight?

Why don’t you spray the bottom of the trailer black?

I get where you're coming from in peeling the protective plastic layer on your panels. Too funny. 😂 But it'll probably make you cry when you get your first bush pinstripe. The camper trailer has come a long way. BTW, was this filmed before you got your Y62? 'Coz if not, I'm surprised you didn't use it for the maiden trip of the trailer. On another note, a family friends of ours also built a camper trailer with a RTT on it during the lockdown. But they reversed the position of the RTT where the pop up opening end is facing the front of the trailer. They then built into the draw bar a series of boxes (for storage), strategically placed on top of each other. Bigger on the bottom, getting smaller towards the top. These storage boxes acted like built-in steps to the RTT. That way, the family didn't need the ladder. And the steps being more stairs like (ie. wide), were very comfortable to use.

Not 100% sure, but I think the induction cook tops, when set at anything under 100% will switch on and off according to the setting. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can correct me? If this is true, then when they are on, they will pull the full rated current. It'll only be for a short time and only occasionally but they could be demanding the full 3500W from the inverter - for a very short time. The inverter will handle this, but it is being stressed beyond its rated power output.

3kw @240v is 12.5a.

This is the most accurate build that fits my ideas in my head. I will build something similar. Too many ads in this video however.

I don't drink coffee 🤣

I know you got the rooftop tent for 1/2 price but how the HELL can they charge $4K for it??? There is nothing in it to justify that price. Even at $2K it's still hard to justify that cost.

Bro your caravanning not camping
