Moving a Teardrop Trailer by Hand | Tiny Trailers, Squaredrops, Pop ups and more! 

Thanks Cosmo! I'm going to start putting out videos on the new solar set up!

@@DIYOutdoorLife I look forward to learning more about your solar and batteries! get to it. Ha ha ha. Thanks Brian! =Cosmo

lol ...do you edit out in the woods??? I don't have time to edit with all of the camping!

Great job!!! in tight spots, it's much easier than trying to back it in. I'm really glad you got the job done 💪

Thank you Frank! I bet your brother could pull it without any wheels!

Thanks for the handy camera work!

The double caster wheel is the game changer! Have fun 😎

Many thanks!

Nice little add on for sure!

Nice! It also saves your toes when in sandles

Thanks for watching! Happy you liked it!

Thank you for watching and commenting! Simple is best!

Thanks for watching, I hope it helps!

I'm so excited for you! Having a tiny camper has doubled the amount of time I've spent outdoors. I'm sure you'll have no trouble readjusting it to customize your camping space. What kind of trailer are you getting? SUBSCRIBE: ru-vid.com

@@DIYOutdoorLife Thank you, I'm pretty excited. I'm getting a Runaway. Cost effective and not much can go wrong. Pretty much just have to get comfortable towing and setting up, and then I'm off.

@@zkat13 You're going to love it! Sky is the limit for modifications and add-ons for the future if you want. Excited for you!

Hey David, thanks for tuning in.

Thank you for watching!

That’s great! Did you get the 10HD?

DIY Outdoor Life the 10FB

It's been very handy, thanks for watching!

It's the best for the size and price. They make ones that work better but they're huge and heavy. Thanks for watching!

Thank you, I really appreciate that! I'm still winging it, I will get better at editing, maybe even buy a proper program if I get to 1000 subs. Do you have a tiny camper?

@@DIYOutdoorLife When we first discovered your videos, we honestly thought it was a larger mainstream channel. We were shocked when we saw the sub count and couldn't believe how great your content is. We just took ownership of a 2021 Car-Go Trailers Liberty 2GOXL! Due to the travel restrictions in our area, we've only been able to spend one night in it. We are very pleased with it so far and are really looking forward to exploring with it this summer(we hope!). Thank you for the great trailer maintenance videos. I know i'll be putting that information to good use soon enough. Good luck with the channel! You'll reach 1000 subs in no time with that smile alone! lol

@@R3Minion you're too kind! We're just getting started and really appreciate the subscribers and interaction. I hope it grows, it has been a lot of fun so far. I'm so happy you're pleased with the new rig, I will check it out today. Keep me in the loop, a lot of people ask for help finding campers and I really value the real user experiences. Thank you!

Awesome! It’s pretty handy.

@@DIYOutdoorLife Thanks, it is now part of my tool kit. Wow, what a game changer!🌻

Haha… thank you, happy camping!

Thanks John. Have you done something like this with your FB?

@@DIYOutdoorLife I have the SS also, I havent yet. I wonder if you can tow with the dual wheels on? Also How do you stabilize the dual wheels when camping?

I forgot you were a SS too! You can definitely tow with the wheel on but take it off if the road gets tough, it is a few inches lower than the factory pad. They make some fancy pads that help stabilize the caster wheel for camping but they aren't necessary. If you chock both sides of the wheels tight and press your stabilizers firm, it is extremely stabile when camping with the wheels on. I tested it with 2 adults and a dog several times now and you can not tell the difference. Thanks for bringing these points up, I left a lot out here.

That’s a really nice camper. I appreciate that you’re tuning in. Keep me in the loop w/ how you make out with the SunRay.

@@DIYOutdoorLife I went with a Renogy 100 ah Lithium, Renogy 30 A MPPT Controller, All Powers 200 watt portable panel & Victron 15 amp Blue Smart charger. Do I need to be concerned starting with a full battery and running 3 way Dometic fridge on 12 volt with 7 pin charging from alternator? I don’t camp in freezing temperatures. I was trying to avoid running propane for fridge while driving.

@@kjlcycler that’s a great set up! I would not connect it to my tow vehicle w/o isolation. Have you considered finishing out your system with a DCDC? I have seen too many problems, some of them very expensive, to feel comfortable with the alternator charging the lifepo. There’s a couple different ways to go, most are thrilled with the DCDC. One of the biggest concerns is what the camper battery can do to the tow vehicle when it’s topped off.

@@DIYOutdoorLife ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Gxypk8J-0Mg.html. I don’t plan on running anything but fridge while driving.

Very good tip with the chains, could save from a serious mishap.

you win, I spit my drink out! ...hahaha Thanks for swinging by!

The surface matters a lot too. My camper is over 100# on the tongue, sometimes its easy as can be, other times I break a sweat!

I’m glad you found us! There’s plenty of options out there, the Bushwhacker is one of the cheaper. We have a lot of instructional videos on the channel on how to fix it up, I’m sure you could do it. Circle back and let us know how you make out searching for a camper. Thanks for watching!

@@DIYOutdoorLife yes and i can pick one up today less than hour away. The Hiker i’m thinking of having build will take 3 months then i drive from just north of Atlanta to Indiana over 9 hours and then back. Can you say a break in road trip.

@@wessimpson2544 haha… decisions decisions… I am starting a lengthy series on hiker trailer, it’ll be a bit before they start to come out. Really excited about covering what they’re doing.

@@DIYOutdoorLife Hikers seem to be a great value for the quality. I think I’m going with them.

Take a look at the dolly in the description. For more difficult tasks, that is the best way to move by hand by far. The wheel and strap is best for the campsite.

I have seen people make that. Building a small cabin on skids that can be added and removed to a trailer. It's a pretty cool set up, you think some company would try to offer something like that.

Great! I’m really happy it helped! They’re quite stable for camping once you put the stabilizers down too. I’ve really enjoyed the flexibility of moving the trailer around at camp 😀

Your tow hitch may need more of a “rise”. Go to a local trailer dealer and they will assist.

Yes, that’s fine. It is a good idea to take off when driving bc it hangs low.

We’ve done it both ways. Most of the time we just leave the wheel on.

It would, but not like it does on this camper thats half the weight. It would still work on harder surfaces but might get tough on soft ground.

Hey Todd, I have a whole series on Hiker Trailers coming out soon. Can you send a pic of your jack setup and email to diyoutdoorcontent@gmail.com I’ll see what we can find.

@@DIYOutdoorLife yes i will. i will send you photos tomorrow (sunday), thank you.

The one in the video description does! Good luck and feel free to shoot any questions if they come up!

1300 lbs dry… probably 1500-1600 loaded. The pneumatic is nice, little harder to pack, trade offs to both

1400-1600 depending on gear and water- 1300 dry weight

I can and have done it. Use caution, don’t do anything that’s going to launch your camper off a cliff and take baby steps. See if you can pull the camper around on pavement, gravel, then grass. My set up is fairly light and I’ve pulled it into some places, including inclines, that I never could have got to with a tow vehicle. Hope this helps!

Thanks! I have a two stall garage ( each stall is pretty small ) that’s on an incline. I really want a teardrop but reversing it into my garage sounds like a nightmare. If I could manually push it in that might just seal the deal for me.

@@chadjamesjohnson check out the dolly in the description… much easier to do by yourself!!

@@chadjamesjohnson I use my riding mower to move my trailer into the backyard. I can adjust the postion as I drive under my 10x10 storage shelter. I think that the towstrap will really help move the trailer around on the blacktop at the campsite. Make it easy on yourself.

Sure… it might give you better clearance to take it off if you’re in a rough spot or off-roading, but otherwise it should be fine

@@DIYOutdoorLife I was wondering the same thing. I'm a newbie so was thinking, well, how do I put the sand pad back on?! Could use a jack found in my tow vehicle too I suppose. Thanks for the video!

@@denak1441 99% of the time I use my toe vehicle to swap the wheel and sand pad. Just attach it to your tow vehicle, crank it up and swap

Thank you! I have noticed that. Most trailers here come standard with a sand pad or a solid tongue jack. A lot of dealerships offer a single caster wheel with the purchase of a trailer, the double caster wheel gives you a lot more capability with light trailers. Thank you for watching and good luck! What trailer did you get (or looking to get)?

Just about all European campers are better than USA
