On the Trail of a New Small Trailer! 

I have a NuCamp T@B 320 S. It’s not a Boondock. I wish it were, but that’s a few thousand dollars more... I love it. After a year, it all works perfectly. I wanted to be able to stand up, handle it myself and use it easily. I had a memorable lunch at the visitor center in Mesa Verde and some wild turkeys, deer, and a dude with a hot young woman and a Harley in the next campsite.

Yay! A fiberglass egg of some sort. And a short one too!

Can't wait to see what Slim bought. I might be in the market for a small RV myself, but until then I bought a Haulmark toy hauler and fitted it out as a camper. It is 7X14 with a camper style locking side door along with the rear ramp fold down door. It is insulated with 13.5 K RV rooftop AC and heat. I fitted it out with a countertop in front with a sink and 5 gal of fresh and gray water on a 12v pump. It has a small under counter fridge and a 12' awning. No bathroom but in a pinch I have a porta potty. I installed a 12 volt system with battery charger. I also installed a 120v/12v tv with a cable inlet that I can use with an antenna or cable tv. It weight in at about 3500 lbs +/- dry and I can haul another 3500 lbs if necessary. It has dual torsion axles with electric brakes on all four drums which came in handy when I was in the mountains last year, but a very low ground clearance. I also wired it for 120 volts with a regular RV power inlet. I'm an electrician so it was all done right. I installed tons of cabinet space which is real nice. I took it to Sturgis last year and it was great, but after Sturgis I went out to Yellowstone, and the Tetons. To be honest after Sturgis I would rather have not had the motorcycle with me as it took up all my living space. It was also 1000 lbs heavier with the bike. I'm looking forward to my next trip without the bike. Having a bathroom would be nice though so I will probably get a small RV in the future. Until then this setup works really great...

I saw, I clicked. I stop what I'm doing for Slim!

It’s hard to imagine you without an Aliner; but as the song says: the times, they are a changin’. Congratulations & looking forward to another year of excellent travel videos 😃👍

You should buy one of those A-liners. There is this guy on RU-vid that once used one.

Love your level headed approach! Always a pleasure to watch one of your vids. Looking forward to the tour of your new digs!

That outro was classy Slim- way to go my dude 🤟😋

Congrats and I am looking forward to more camping "with you" in your new trailer. Thank you.

Nice video thank you for the tour. Love the sneak peek at the end of your new camper. Can't wait to get the full tour of it.

Great choice! I loved my little fiberglass "Burro" when I had it. It went anywhere and it was light enough to pick up and move by hand.

Level-headed, practical, advice from an expert off roader. Thanks for showing the actual campers in use & the occasional gems in the wild too. Real treat to 'walk through' an RV show with someone of critical knowledge to highlight 'the best fit needs' in a four season light towable. Demonstrates how an experienced camper views the units show room glamour vs in field utility. Never considered a desert 'style' camper before but, the outdoor kitchen types lead me to think that way about them now. Nothing wrong with that if you need it. Warm, dry & fed while sleeping in comfort, using a lite weight towable. Too practical & simple any where you go.

You are SUCH a tease! Thanks for the Easter egg though!! I can't wait to hear all the details. I'm looking g for a trailer that is

Looks like quite an upgrade 👍. Happy travels!

Congrats on the new trailer and the informative trip to the rv show. Can't wait to check out the new living quarters and see the mods you make to it.

Good luck with your new trailer camper, Slim. I look forward to your new adventures and the modifications that you will do to it to make it truly your own. Thanks for all your time and effort that you put into what you do. You have given me many ideas for my retirement.

Hope you got one with the small bathroom, something to be said for a little comfort anyways

YES! Good Choice. You will be happy with it.

Great tour of RV's ! We love our T@Gxl boondock - -and we'll be watching the "The Desert and the Artist" next to see how she sets things up. . Congrats on your Trillium trailer. What a great camper that will be! I can't wait for your tour video... Godspeed on all the wonderful moments and adventures to come! ~ Maria

Once again you have done a great job! Informative video. I’ve been to only a few RV shows, mostly because I am more concerned with the places I camp than the trailer and I knew what I was looking for when I got my trailer. Always good to know what’s out there though so a big “thank you” for sparing me from having to actually go to a Rv show! I’ll still keep my old one while it still doesn’t leak!

Nice selection you made. I hope it serves you well for many years.

Thanks for the tour. Lots of good options!

Slim! You must give us a tour of the new trailer! Don't leave us hanging! Glad to see that you chose one. I love all your videos. But I simply love it how detailed you are with your trailer repairs and modifications. I wish I had half of your skills.

Yes you are so right on doing research. This is my first year being just retired and the items I thought I must have in a trailer I discovered I don't need. So when I get home my beloved trailer will be going up for sell. You truly learn what's a must and what's not. I so wanted to go to your meet up in St Louis. if you have any others I will be trying my best to attend. Safe travels and my guess is a Escape trailer you have now. Congratulations on your new adventures with your new trailer.

New tugger. New lugger. You're back in business. I'm sure glad "Cruising the Cut" sent me looking your way.

That Outback Trillium is an excellent choice Mr. Potatohead, It has a solid roof that will not leak and there is room for solar panels.

We just spent a day at an RV show in Abbotsford BC, and saw many of the same trailers. We used your name when looking at the Rockford A to some others who were looking at it. So glad you showed us what you chose...even if just a glimpse. Enjoyed sharing your search!

Enjoyed your take on the new RVs and can’t wait for your next video - safe travels

I just purchased an 2016 Aliner Scout Lite with lots of extras. You inspired me Slim. Thanks. Happy adventures.

A nice vintage flower. Screenshot to catch it. Sweet Outback Trillium, eh!

Yay! We got a glimpse of your new home away from home! Can't wait to see more of it.

Slim, I see the camper at the end...interesting! I’ve had a pop up, an a-frame and now have a nucamp 320, we love it. I am sure you’re very happy with whatever that is that you were pulling. Thanks for the videos, look forward to them each week. Keep Camping

Oooooooh a sneak peek at the end hahahahaha. Awesome. I'm waiting on the next video here Slim. Pls do not let me wait to long. Greetings,, Kitty.

Yeah you’re back! Great video thanks!!

Great video. Glad that you found something that you like. I think it is a great choice. Stay safe and happy trails.

Hey Slim! I love the Aliner..BUT..I love it for all the fun innovative things that you did to it! I can’t wait to see your new camper and sharing your fun adventures!!

Nice, the ending was perfect, now I have to wait for your next vid

I like my cargo trailer and after seeing how crafty you are it would be really neat to see how you could trick one out. Regardless thanks for bringing us along!!

Yay! A Casita! Going to miss your aframe but looking forward to seeing what you have in store with your new home on the road

Great Choice!! I am so looking forward to your new adventures in this camper!!

What a nice cliffhanger at the very end. I can't wait to see the new trailer.

I can't wait to see what you chose for a new rig.

I saw a glimpse of your new trailer and I like it! I would love to tow one of those! At least you don’t have to deal with setting up the sides all the time with an A frame. Now I can’t WAIT till your next video! Congrats Slim!

Great video again slim, even when ur not in the wild your videos are still calming and relaxing

My favorite was the Bush Whacker Plus. It was small, had just about everything, and the price was right.

It looks like a 13" fiberglass trailer. The Trillium, Outback , Made in Canada.

I already know I love that new trailer. Slim Potato head style!!! Can’t wait for the next video for the tour.

Nice trailer, glad you found one. Now we await your review and tour. Anticipation, woohoo!

Those tear drop trailers were pretty sweet

Ah, I do love my Aliner...presently at the beach in Galveston. If I were to replace it, it would be very hard to find a better design.

Looks like got something to can camp in and stay warm. Im looking forward to your next Adventure! 😉🙏

Always practical. Good video especially for someone considering trailer camping.

A casita!?! Awesome Slim!

Yes looks like a Casita to me. Good choice!

You went with a square box this time. Looks awesome, will be nice to see inside with your next vid. And thanks for the tour, it was interesting to see all the different trailers out there.

I don’t see a shower in any of other floor plans. Aside from that, what a beauty! I’m on my second casita. A bit heavier and larger than your new egg Slim but what a great place to be when the cold wind is blowing and the rain is falling. I cant wait to start watching some new adventure videos featuring the new camper.

I believe he shows his new trailer at 15:00.

6x12 cargo trailer. some of those others loaded are beyond the tow capacity of your jeep.

slim you make a lot of people smile. That's about the best gift you can give anyone! Looking forward to the next video, actually thought it was going to be abiner 2

Really like your videos dude. I actually rented an A-frame for a 3 day weekend to test out in Texas. You've inspired me so much. Thanks!

You are the master of cliffhangers 😂

awesome content

Yeah! A Trillium Outback! You'll love it. We had a vintage boler for 20 years. Solid little trailer, and NO LEAKS!

Yes yes yes love it this means the new trailer will be soon revealed. Love it slim. Cant wait for the improvement vids and to see what youll do withthe rv. Cant wait my friend

LOL..ROFL.. You're a TEASE!!.. I laughed so hard as you drove it by at the end.🤣 A Scamp 13ft is my guess.

Ah, so it looks like a fiberglass egg- excellent choice!

Hi Slim! It’s good to see you smiling!😁. Thanks for showing the different trailers! A lot of them were really nice! The views of those mountains are so Beautiful! I’m happy that you found a new trailer! I know you are gonna hook it up to your liking!😁. 💕Always, Carol

I understand towing weight issues. I traded in my tow vehicle and have no regrets. Loving my Casita Freedom Deluxe!! 💖

Watch slim be like got ya I bought a class A motor home

Looks like a Trillium Outback based on the logo.

Slim, my last rig was a Aliner Expedition. I have owned many including large travel trailers. A few years ago I switch to a 24 foot Class C RV. I am so incredibly happy with my decision as I Boondock often.

Congratulations! Looking forward to a tour video of your new rig!

I’m going with a Escape as my guess, made in Canada.

Stinker Leaving us hanging Is that the trailer Does it have a solid frame

Good for you Slim, cant wait to see what you got . I've been looking too but haven't got one yet . Soon hopefully .

That really looks all you need. Wow how compact and cosy!!

Dang it! No new trailer yet. Hahaha. We’re getting excited. But wait!!! Is that a hint @ 15:03? Thanks for the upload. Very informative!

The scamp seems like it might fit a potato 🥔 head

Have fun, Mr. Slim. Looking forward to new adventures with you! :)

I retired in 2017 and treated myself to a Rockwood A122s.It is bigger than your little a frame,which makes life a bit easier. Every where I go I get curious people wanting to know more about the frame concept. I am sure I have swayed the decision of a few people as to what there next camper will be.I really enjoy your videos and the way you capture your experiences and travels. Keep up the good work!.

Well, I guess I’ll have to find another Aliner influencer.

Don't keep us hanging too long Slim! Congrats on the 'new to you' trailer! Great choice!!

Awesome choice! Looking forward to more travels and adventures with the new rig. We'll be looking out for you in the foothills. 73's

Love the reviews and just seeing what is out there. Some were truly amazing while the ones that had “toy space” and the ones with the stove and refrigerator that has to be pulled out so a big disadvantage with the weather. If someone is just starting you made great points for them. You are correct that if the “shows” could be out in the elements this would give the buyer a better idea. Although this was 3 years ago you did this I do hope you know how appreciative this is. Thanks for your spirit of the outdoors.

Yay!!! I think you're the perfect person to join the FGRV community. Can't wait to see your travels in it and how you approach modifications!! CONGRATS and ENJOY!!!!!!

Oh I can't wait for the tour. I love the fiberglass trailers!

Slim go to Georgia, get yourself a new 12x6, cargo trailer. ($2000) You can build your own with generator, water maker, washer/dryer, kitchenette, solar, batteries, everything for less than $5000. Including trailer.

Good for you. Can't wait for a walk through and a tour.

I'm excited to see what your new camper will be. Just takes a little time and luck. At least your getting some good ideas!

Yea!! I have a 13' Scamp and thought a fiberglass egg would be a good choice for you, since you were looking for a new trailer. I am so excited for you! You will be very comfy-cozy in your new trailer.

We bought a pre-owned Tab 320s. They are very solid and a better value than buying a new one. Tab owner's really take care of the campers and hope for an owner that will take just as good care of it. You might want to go that route.

It looks absolutely perfect for you. Congratulations.

Thanks slim, such an informative video, I camp single, rt now I am in a tent. But some day would love to get a small trailer, there are so many out there. Your Aliner I think would be comfortable enough for me...cant wait to see your new trailer..thanks again slim

Thanks for taking us along to the RV show. I saw a few small trailers, that would work as temporary housing on a northern land parcel in the U.S.,that's a stone's throw from British Columbia. 😁

It will be nice to see you in more convenient and comfortable surroundings. I have to say that I loved that "clam" shaped that was $31,000, though...Congrats on your new digs!

Thanks! We bought a T@G for weekend camping and boon docking. We also have a 13X13 canopy with walls that provide a sheltered indoor/outdoor space. It all comes down to personal choice. Our tow vehicle is a diesel BMW X3 which has been very fuel efficient.

Great video. I look forward to watching your future travels.

Big fan of those teardrops, just like the style and compact nature of them ... can't wait to see whats inside that new one ;)

Ha! You sneaky bugger you! Cant wait to see you enjoying the new trailer Slim. Happy happy trails for sure!

I am about to go to work, have a flight but it’s Slim so I have to stay in bed for another 15 more mins! Thanks! 3 minutes into the video and it’s already exciting! Thanks SlimPTT!
