Hi Kyle, we bought it through an importer, they pretty much take care of everything for you. But I do remember that the height and length matters on shipping cost. I used B-pro in Calgary. There are similar companies in BC as well. You could probably message them to get a quote 🙂

Hi, we still have it and it's fully renovated inside. We've been busy and we don't have enough time to make videos anymore.

@@HappyFamilyAdventures I also found you on Instagram, may I ask you some questions there ?

@@DasMachy sure no problem 🙂

It is a great option, I love the idea that you can unhook the trailer and you use your vehicle to go explore while camping.

@@HappyFamilyAdventures that’s exactly why we got it so we can setup camp and leave to do other things as needed without having to pack up and pull down etc until we want to go home etc. it will have a pull out stove and other things when we get a chance

The camper is based on a Mitsubishi Delica, so any mechanic can do the maintenance as long as you provide the parts. Otherwise you can take the camper to any JDM shop.

Hi AJ, I bought it used and there was no name on it. It is fitted on the tow hitch and very convenient. The only drawback is that you lose a bit of departure angle but I don't do any extreme 4wd. Check out the brand tyretrek, i believe they have similar systems.

@@HappyFamilyAdventures thanks for the reply 🙌

Hi, I still have it and the renovation is done but I haven't had the time to make the video 😅 I'll try to do it in the spring hopefully

Hi Christina, we don't. Enjoy your trip as it was the best time of our life! 🙂

Hi Morgan, I usually level the car with rocks or logs (I don't have enough room in the car to bring levelling gears) If my RTT was smaller, I would have probably chosen the rear entry because of my kitchen setup at the back (I could have been covered from rain and sun).

@@HappyFamilyAdventures thanks mate , appreciate your response

Hi Enzo, the strongest wind we experienced was about 60km/h and the RTT did well. Closing the flaps and lowering the rain cover can also help to improve in strong winds condition

Hi Kristy, it might be a bit tight for your family. Unless you use the annexe to add 2 single bed. So you can sleep 2 person at the top and 2 person downstairs.

I would say yes as we keep all our bedding inside the RTT while traveling (at least mattress topper)

🤣 that's definitely a pro

Hi, we used to put small carabiner on each zippers. Also, each entrance has a zipped door and a zipped mosquito net. We never had an issue with our daughter. The main problem was when we were downstairs, she was trying everytime to climb one of the ladder 🤣

Hi Jonathan, thanks for watching the video. Our daughter was 1 yr old at the beginning of the trip and we almost didn't experience bad weather during our lap lap around Australia. It might be challenging being stuck in a RTT during heavy rain or cold weather with a toddler. While traveling, we never drove more than 2hours at a time and we were trying to drive during nap time.

Hi, it is an austrack campers. Take care

Hi Luke, I bought the carrier second hand. It is mounted on the hitch receiver. I welded a folding table to use as a cooking space. The brand Tyre trek have something quite similar. The only drawback is you lose departure angle when offroading.

Ha ha 🤣 good question. Somehow we got pregnant on that trip with our second ... get this video to 1,000,000 views and we will make a video about it lol

Hi, I'm glad the video helped you in your choice. I agree, trailers are great but not worth it in my opinion. We're had an amazing 10 years in Australia. We're now living in the Canadian Rocky mountains and it is also a great place for adventures! Good luck on your build and enjoy your trip.

@@HappyFamilyAdventures best of luck on your Canadian adventure! Sounds like an awesome holiday! Thank you!

Hi Yeogum, the matress is 2400x2200mm

They are the heavy duty Rhino racks 1500mm

Hi Chloe, we miss you guys too!

It really is a beautiful place, i'm sure you would love it here!

We had so much fun ! We can't wait for you to come visit us!

Thanks for watching the video, we had a lot of fun doing the experiment!

We can't wait to finish the reno to go on road trips 😉

@@HappyFamilyAdventures I know the feeling... We've just bought a Land Rover former ambulance of the French Armee de Terre, awaiting a full conversion to camper. And then we go..... traveling through Europe an Russia. We wish you many happy travels!!

@@Tillerman56 when we were living in Australia, we almost bought an ex army land rover perentie 6x6 ambulance, it would have been my dream rig but I couldn't convince my wife 😅 enjoy your build and coming up trips mate!

You will need a new timer. Absolutely for minus 44deg OMFG you will kill the poor engine otherwise lol

@@Overallsbloke hi mate, we get extreme temperatures only 2 weeks per year. Usually, I wouldn't use the camper during that period. At -15 and the oil pan heater plugged in, the camper would start like in the summer.

I understand no problem. Needless to say when you have the chance you will require an after market timer. Here in OZ there is one I bought for 65AUD. works perfectly. And realistically you can then reasses if you still need the cost of running an oil pan heater. With the new glowplug timer and the oil pan heater at -44 it should go zooom!!

@@Overallsbloke thanks mate for the tip, I'll have a look into it

Hi Joseph, I got it second hand and there was no name on it. The carrier is attached to the trailer hitch.

We had a great time doing these experiments 😄

Hi, thanks for watching the video! Have a great weekend!

Haha it was great ! Best memories ever!

Thanks Jeanette!

To be honest I was a bit disappointed as well. Maybe a block heater would have worked better but the setup on a Delica engine is more complicated 😅

It was a fun day!

It is actually crazy how fast your hair can freeze!

So much learning and growth from traveling!

@@HappyFamilyAdventures yes! 💯

I love how the snow accumulate so quickly, it is so mesmerizing !

@@HappyFamilyAdventures We live down in Louisiana, so we never get to see snow, so it was fun seeing it as a time lapse!

@@RidingElevators we're planning to travel the south of the US, hopefully when that crazy time ends 😉

@@HappyFamilyAdventures Let us know if you plan on coming to Louisiana!

@@RidingElevators it is definitely on our list (particularly the amazing food)

It really is !

Merci Bernard, on va certainement en profiter au début du printemps !

Hi John, thanks for watching the video. We were thinking that too but we also would like to keep the weight down and have a bigger kitchen

Hi Rebecca, thanks for your lovely comment!

Thanks for watching the video! We hope to have the camper ready for the summer 🙂

Thanks Shaina!

Thanks Elliot. You are so right about the kitchen! We were hoping to extend it and make it an L shape. Hoping to keep the cost as low as possible 😉
