He's got a bedroom, front room, outside kitchen and living area, and a dog🐕. He's got a lot👍.

I could totally live full time in my teardrop! Love seeing this!

Main takeway for me is a full timer believes in investing in top of the line awnings. The detachable rear awning in a great idea. Thanks for the inspiration, Kris.

Almost 7 mins into this vid and yours is the first! time I've heard the cameraman/host ask intelligent questions and make appropriate comments. Bravo. Can't tell you how many vids I've bailed from because of cringey hosts. Really liking this one. I have subscribed. This particular trailer feature interests me because I'm about to take my almost-finished 5' X 10' cargo camper out for four nights for the very first time. Thanks for this one. Cheers.

Alright this is what I needed to see. Also an Army retiree and I am bored where I am and miss moving around like I did for 20 yrs.

That galley was great; awesome setup!

You have created a wonderful comfortable home for yourself. Thanks for your service to our country and how wonderful you are taking some time to travel and enjoy the country you served .

Love the setup, very organized. Good job!

Dude your sewing skills are on point! That kitchen was amazing the organization and storage made my OCD sing sweet music. Now my singing isn’t for s$@t but it sounded so good in my head. It really is an incredible setup. Thank you for sharing it and thank you for your service my hat is off to you sir!

Cool Kris! What a great set-up and to be able to be free and clear all the time is really good. Totally self-contained.

Really enjoyed the tour Brian and Kris. Nice work Kris, glad Brian gave us the full tour. Love these videos of what everyone does with their trailers. Didn't know NOT being in the video was an option until I saw you video David Elliott's.

I live in Maine for 5 to six months out of the year on my acres off grid. The tear drop got a little small, but I bought a large screen room and like you very comfortable chairs and a camp chef camp oven as I got tired of building fires to use a cast iron Dutch oven. I have the outdoor shower but reallly usually just use a the deep creek on the acres to bath with Dr Bonners soap.

Great video Brian! Love seeing a fellow soldier living his best life! Well deserved! Thanks for your service!

Kris has it going on, all right! I wonder where he spends his winters. Seems like he's ready for anything. I hope he shares with us how he keeps his Tesla solar charged! 😁🌞

Congrats on retirement! Love everything you have done with the bushwacker!!!

I lived in my teardrop one summer on land i bought while it was prepped an a tiny cabin built and hauled in. Off grid and pretty out of the way. I have about the same amount of solar, also got a camp chef , coukdnt get the pro , out of stock got the premium or whatever. Works great. Just put the campchef on a counter in the cabin when it was ready. Just one big pantry cabinet build by a friend, and yes an ice co dual zone 78 qt. And this year i bought a generator after Maine was waterlogged last year. 3 days of rain today so far so i ran it 4 hours, charged the bluetti 100% and it will last another 3 days on that if sun isnt strong. I take trips to different areas in north and west maine, some to the coast up around Lubec and Machias. Love tiny living, no tv, i removed it, i do have a tablet , but i use my fishing pole alot more for entertainment. Same size generator, guess the camper kind of dictates the sizes of stuff. Have a great Audi heater that runs on propane or battery. I leave it on propane and set it real low cause i love to sleep cold. The bluetti, the oven and the ice co were bought big enough to serve the cabin but can be loaded into my truck and i can travel. My tear drop is probably twice the size of yours but i need the room for my 140 pound dog, so i set it up for queen size bed , take out the swivel table and use the bathroom that i only used once and said nope, for storage. I use the outdoor shower, the tiny sink and two burner stove, the tiny square frig that is 3 way power when traveling. Staying as dispersed as possible, which is easy up here. Nice to have a base, but nice to leave when the bugs get bad, go to the mountain tops or coast to blow them away. I love how my stuff switched to cabin life, love having my teardrop for a spare bedroom went i am in my camp. I feel like a kid again building a much better fort than i ever could as a child. The advance in electronics and solar have really spoiled me. No more stinky lanterns that need mantles, fans and phones, refrigeration thru solar, that is really neat. I can now make ice rather than needing to buy it, can freeze meat and even keep some Houlton dairy ice cream around. Life is good.

No talk about him towing with the Tesla??? :D (kinda curious about the tongue weight he's got going there with that battery and the genny.) Great setup - he really has everything covered and nicely executed. I couldn't nitpick anything even if I wanted to. Best wishes on your continued travels Kris - was great meeting you at the Boil!

Wow what a great set up! You have really put some time and energy into this lil beast and it's working for you. I love it. I might do something similar with mine. Thanks for the ideas. Happy camping!

Great set up. That guy's got it all figured out!

Nice setup,

I love that campchef so much I bought one for camping and one for the house when electric goes out as happens often since we live in heavy woods. The electric stove takes so much off the generator and the propane lasts so long.

Absolutely awesome vid! Thanks.! Always informative!!!👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks

Amazing setup taking into account the money the guy spent on everything, loving it

Great video that’s a wonderful galley set up. Enjoyed your video very much.

Great set up. Really enjoyed the vid.

cool stuff. happy dude

Awesome 😍😍😍😍

Great set-up. Quick question: how is the C channel handle connected to the slide-out locking tabs?

I wonder what the weight of that camper with all that gear is. I ask because it's hard to tell, but that looks like a Tesla with a hitch on it, lol. FYI, the unofficial tow cap on Tesla Model 3 is 2000lbs.

The only thing I do not see is a power station or "Solar Generator"? They are in so many sizes and configurations that a gasoline or propane generator is no longer necessary except as another layer of power.

Where does he put all that gear when he’s traveling between destinations?

I would love this due to the affordability, but I’m concerned about safety. What do you think?

Who is interviewing? You need a lot of practice and preparation. I don’t know what is so darned funny. A lot of work to set up so you must stay for awhile at each location. You have it going on and I love the shelving idea because I have 2 short legged dogs who are velcroed to me. We are a family.

Brian, I can't imagine that I am going to be coming to the east coast anytime soon. Do you have any plans to be in the southwest? I would love to show off my rig on your channel. Great video and love this channel. All the best, Pat

Would like to see another close view of these mods and updates.

Talking about the battery charging reminded me of a question I have always wondered about. Here is a scenario... Boondocking with a small travel trailer with a built in charger/inverter, an AGM battery, a small generator, and an automotive style 15/3 amp automatic separate battery charger, can you run the generator and plug the trailer into it to charge the battery while simultaneously charging the battery with the separate charger? In other words, can you charge the battery with both chargers at the same time, or just do one or the other? Thanks

Less than 4 mins in but i have to ask, are you towing the bushwhacher with a Tesla???

What is the link to his channel? Love your videos!!!

2019

Dude did you say "redundancy, redundancy, redundancy"??? Oh lord!

Poor Chris

I can understand not wanting to be on camera 🎥. Some people like their privacy.

That's a little honey.

Is homeboy towing with a TESLA???

Great for one person but not for two.

good to see camp chef finally put a thermostat on their oven

& he has a Tesla this is going to be me in 6 months

Id prefer a cargo trailer, something I could stand up in.

I'll trade you 1:24

Dont vote for whay you left

I feel like this turned more into a video about a solar set up

sorta a shame to spend all that money on the teardrop then have to remodel it

id rather do it in a truck camper at least you could stand up
