We love our Lee sure lite, too. It’s very well designed and made. We just took ours on a 4,100 mile road trip two months ago. 18 nights, 3 major thunderstorms and 100+ degree temps thru Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, S. Dakota, Oregon and Washington. It was amazingly comfortable and never leaked a drop on us inside. And we don’t have the tarp roof like the newer models. The awning proved extremely valuable.
I’m so impressed with our little camp trailer! I love it!!! Thx for your great videos. I look forward to every new one you post. Keep em coming.
Thanks for sharing your own experience as several folks tend to go through all comments. I am thrilled to hear that you managed to stay dry while facing heavy rain without the rain fly. (thats an example of the LL workmanship quality) Finally, thank you so much for your encouraging message and ongoing support. 👏 All the best as always.
Thanks for telling us about your experience! It helps us to make a purchase decision
I am digging it !!
You make me want to go camping
Right ?!? The fall is here now and it is my favourite camping season. Not too hot or cold plus the kids are back in school, the mosquitoes and bears are gone, most families already took their vacation hence the sites aren’t busy so ….. just awesome time for camping ! Thanks so much for watching, I really appreciate your time and support. Cheers
Same here ! Damn it ! Lol
Here's to your next trip hopefully to the US
You bet ! You can lead the way and I will follow you down South ! Thanks for your time and support buddy
Wow, 500 campsites and they are not on top of each other. That’s awesome. Pretty nice pop up tent bro.
You got that right! The place is massive so I got lost a couple times trying to find the can 😂 Thanks for stopping by brother
I’ve been to this camp site twice and is really nice
@@crankedwristtherapy3522 👍👍
Wow what an amazing set up and fantastic video. Nicely done 🤙💚🤙.
Thank you for the Dailyhabit support as well. You’re the best 💯🔥
Thanks for stopping by ! I am addicted by the Dailyhabit brand and the hoodie is definitely very comfy ! All the best as always
@@WindyTherapy Thanks my friend 🙏. You’re set up is amazing 💯👍👏
You make me go out camping.
Thats the plan ! LOL ! What are you waiting for ? The fall is the best season for camping.
I agree, just finishing my cargo trailer conversion to go out and camp.
The kids are back to school and the mosquitos (and bears) are gone !
Oh and gets easier to book campgrounds
Watched a second time. Realized I didn't post the comment last time I watched. My bad. Once again well done on the video.
Thank you so much buddy ! I am glad you liked and welcome aboard! Cheers
That’s a pretty slick unit.
Indeed my friend ! I truly love it and can’t wait to head out again. Thanks for stopping by. Cheers
Awesome set up! Right up my ally too! What bike is that?
Hello Blair ! I am glad you liked it ! My bike is a 2017 Triumph Trophy SE. What kind of bike do you have ?
Thanks for subscribing and welcome aboard!
Yes, I liked his setup too but my bike isn’t powerful enough :(
Twenty three minutes seems pretty quick!
Right ?!? as you noticed if wasn't for the awning wouldbe been even faster but .....this is not a race and the awning really helps. Thanks for your continuous support my friend.
Nice little trailer to camp in!!👏👏 Let's make some hamburgers and beer!! 🥩🥩🍻🍻
I really like the way you think TommyG ! No wonder we get along just fine :) Thanks for stopping by buddy.
That's a pretty cool table!
It is nice but I think is too heavy so I will only use when towing the camper with our vehicle. (I need to reduce the overall weight to improve towing)
Holy smokes dude ! I really dig it ! I love following you and your camping trips with your Triumph and cool motorcycle pop up camper. Great job and thanks for sharing it
I am glad you liked it ! Thanks for always following my videos and supporting my channel. All the best
It truly rocks ! Thanks for sharing the video about your Leesurelite
Just gotta say we level our floor as well, so the front and the rear of the floor does not move.
Hi guys ! Thats a great idea. Are you using the noodles or something else ? Using the noodles I noticed that (typically) the floor starts a bit off level (high) but after few hours tends to flatten with the lid (and my) weight. Something that I keep forgetting is to block the wheels but as long the site is flat it doesn't compromise much. Thanks for chiming in ! Cheers
I’ ll take a photo and submit later!! 😉Great video though, not much out there on the LLite as far as videos go.
Thanks again ! You may like the next video as I am sharing my top 5 “luxury” items which have been a great addition to my gear. Please don’t forget to subscribe to get a reminder when I publish it . Have an awesome “almost Friday” day
That's a pretty cool pop up tent and quick to set up.sleep comfortably while enjoying the great outdoor .thanks for sharing .enjoy
It is right ? Thanks for stopping by and subscribing. Cheers
@@WindyTherapy we are hoping to travel and hike the mountains in BC one day .would be awesome to explore there
When the time comes feel free to ask me about where to go or camp. Lots of awesome places in BC and AB !
Lots of waterfalls and great areas to camp in the West !
Thank you .we are thinking about doing the West Coast trail one day .it take lots of time to plan for a trip but we will work it .you got a really nice camping trailer .
Wow ! It doesn’t take much time to get it done. Thanks for sharing this beauty Eddie. (I also loved the video quality, background music and overall editing)
Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging message ! 💙
Agreed !
You’re right ! Great video
Great channel. I bought a 2023 Excel 11 yesterday after viewing your realistic assessment. Great work!! Keep it up please Greg
@@gvassallo9115 Wow I am so humbled that my videos were helpful to assist you with the purchase decision
@@gvassallo9115 Thanks for your kind comments Greg. Cheers, Eddie
That is an awesome trailer!
Thanks buddy ! Cheers
Very cool I’m binge watching lol 😂
Right on thanks for checking out Eddie's channel!
@@KrakensGarageandAdventures he’s amazing and his work is what I’m striving for. We hit it off right from the gate! Thanks so much!
✊❤️👍🔥
Heck yeah ! Great to connect with you buddy !
@@WindyTherapy you too
Didn’t expect it to open that way, then the awning 😎 thanks for sharing 🙏👍
It is pretty big for a motorcycle pop up camper ! Thanks for stopping by and subscribing. Cheers
@@WindyTherapy your welcome 🙏
Cool setup. Enjoyed your A.P. rug also. It made me laugh.
LOL ! I am glad it did ! A.P. Is my favourite superhero so (considering the A.P. decor) I call the camper as Shaggin ! Thanks for watching and subscribing ! More shenanigans to come ! Eddie
Thank you for sharing a special and beautiful video. Always be happy and healthy!
Thank you very much for you kind comment and for stopping by. Thanks for subscribing.
You said all my favorite things in the first few seconds of the video.... so I subscribed
Thanks for your kind words. I am glad we love the same things and welcome aboard. Cheers, Eddie
Love ours on our 3rd one
Wow ! If you are on your 3rd one really shows that the LL is great ! Thanks for sharing your experience. Thanks for subscribing and engaging! Cheers
Can u give me approx. Cost. Please 😻🥺
@@nell3753 recommend 2009 model or newer as they added zippers for the awning and rainfly to be on at the same time , used ones can be bought in great shape in Canada for around 3500 and up depending on negotiating skills and accessories it comes with .
That's a slick setup. Very comfy looking.
Thank you ! It is indeed ! After several years of *motocamping* with a 2 person tent I reached a point that I had to elevate my game. This *Lees-Ure Lite pop up camper* allows me to camp more comfortably and not on the ground so .... i did elevate my game ! 😂 Thanks for your time and continuous support
Very cool set up! Nicely done Eddy.
It definitely beats my old 2 person tent ⛺️! 😝 Thanks for stopping by.
Super cool! Love the rig. Very cool! Looks like a great way to travel and explore the country. Thank you for sharing!
It really is guys ! Thanks for stopping by and supporting me as usual. Gracias amigos .
Very nice camper, enjoyed watching this video. I do love my Mini Mate, but there are quite a few more very nice features on the Leesure Lite that are awesome. Maybe you can talk about the specs in one of your videos, empty weight, fully loaded weight, etc. Thank you for sharing !! 👍👍
Thanks for you for your feedback Wayne ! Yes, the Mini Mate rocks too and it was my second option. (Lees-Ure Lite “won” because the manufacturer is 1.5 hours away here in BC / Canada so gives me a cozy feeling) I truly appreciate your suggestion (the Specs video) and your time watching it. All the best as always. 🖖
@@WindyTherapy If that camper was made in the US, I might have chosrn it over the Mini Mate. It's nice to see good things in Canada... Hockey Night in Canada, Timmy Ho's, CanAm Spyders, and the Lees-Ure Lite, etc etc etc, and very friendky people 😁
Amazing set up bro wow 👌
Thanks 🙏🏻 a lot brotha ! I am glad you liked it. This pop up camper will be my home away from home during my upcoming coast to coast trip
@@WindyTherapy sweet can't wait
Now that’s a cool unit! And I agree with the “luxury” items. I carry a couple things with me as well that aren’t necessary but definitely add to the comfort level... and a tent peg hammer is one and it always ends up getting passed around to everyone if I’m camping with others and they see me use it! Lol 😂
Totally! The peg hammer is a must because sure as hell ..... if you don't have one there will be no rocks close by to use it ! LOL Thanks for stopping by and commenting ! I really appreciated it. Cheers
Very cool 😎 I want to start doing some motorcycle camping. Great 👍 video! Thanks for sharing.
I am glad you like it buddy. You don’t need to have a pop up camper to have fun. I used to motocamp with my 2 person tent until early this year and always had lots of fun. Check my video called “ camping gear update” where I show how I used to camp with my tent and how I packed the whole shebang. Thanks for stopping by and supporting my channel as usual.
This set up is amazing! I had no idea about these trailers. Great way to combine to passions. 👍
It really is ! Actually 3 passions Ron ..... I can also haul it with our Nissan Murano so my wife and I can camp together and perhaps go to places where the Triumph wouldn't be able to go. Thanks for checking in Amigo ! All the best as always. Eddie ✌
I love the colors. Nice setup. Happy camping to ya! 🏕
Thanks a lot !! The name of the camper is Shaggin ! Not because the obvious but rather the fact the decor is Austin Powers themed ! Lol
@@WindyTherapy I’m thinking about getting one to pull with my suv.
@@nancystrickland1623 it will be a breeze to pull it. I also tow it with our SUV
Thats a great thing to have. I love it!!!
I am glad you liked ! Welcome aboard and thanks for subscribing!
Very cool setup Windy! Looked easy to setup.
It is indeed and the best part is the fact I can tow it with my Triumph Trophy or our family SUV (Murano). This *Lees-Ure Lite pop up camper* is truly an awesome camping gadget. Thanks for checking it out buddy. 🙏
Very informative! Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
Thank you for your feedback Boomer !
I truly appreciate your time and I am glad you liked it. Eddie
I just loved the whole setup 😍. Love to own that bike someday soon. Great video 😊
Thank you so much Arun ! Bike gives me the sense of freedom and relaxation. Thanks for subscribing! Cheers
This is our dream. Touring Ireland with a bike and a camper. Winters are a bit old tho so we might end up using a RV. Love your videos.
I am glad you like it ! I love this little pop up camper and the fact I can tow it with our SUV it becomes a 2 in 1 toy. If you have a RV go for it ! A day on the road (or campground) beats a day at home sitting on the couch. Thanks for your words of encouragement. All the best as always.
Right ?!? Such a dream
Your videos are very informative, which helps a fresh newbie to trailering.
I just bought it. It’s an XL too, leisure light. It’s in my garage and my first trip will be in a few weeks. Thank you for showing me the ropes and keep the videos coming!
I am sorry for the late reply but I was travelling.
I am so glad you bought one for you ! I am sure you will have fun. I will start camping shortly.
I am planning to go camping soon and will make a video about how I am packing my unit. (Several folks are asking about it)
That is one fantastic setup… and a very relaxing vibe to the video.
Nicely done! ✌️🇦🇺
Thank you so much mate. This *motorcycle pop up camper* has been a game changer during my *motocamping* trips. I am glad you liked it and appreciated your time and consideration. Eddie
@@WindyTherapy our pleasure! ✌️
this is an awesome camper set up! great video
Thank you so much for watching
Good job ! This requires patience. I hope it was comfortable.
Indeed ! Yes it definitely beats my 2 person tent as I don’t feel cold coming from the ground. Thanks for commenting and subscribing! Cheers
Great info ,thank you,very nice rig.
Thank you very much Bruce ! This is an awesome rig and comes with the added bonus of allowing me to tow it with our SUV. (Two in one gadget) Let me know if you have any questions. I am always happy to help. Happy new year 🥳
Oh how we loved our visit to BC back in 2019. Can't wait to get back there someday.....really enjoyed your vlog here!!
Glad you enjoyed it! BC is a precious place with lots to do, see and explore. Thanks for stopping by and supporting me as usual.
Thank you for the display, well presented
Thanks 🙏🏻 a lot for your kind feedback Bruce ! Cheers 🍻 Eddie
This is an awesome camping trailer! I'm saving for one to tow with my car! The new models also have a new waterproof material and type of paint. Can't edit to get one. Thanks for sharing! Your voice is also nice to listen to! Cheers!
Yes this is an amazing unit. Thank you so much for you kind message. Feel free to ask questions.
Cheers, Eddie I
You’re seriously talented !! 🤩😎
Thank you so much Maha. I am glad you liked it and don’t miss my next video which will be driven to help other fellow vloggers just like yourself

Es interesante el montaje de la camper nosotros hemos entrado en un sorteo para una autocaravsna a ver si tenemos suerte. Buen video nos suscribimos ✌️ un abrazo de K-Mina 😊
Muchas graças amigo !
Hey, I just subbed your channel. Interesting stuff, and your are getting close to that magic number of CZcamsrs. cheers!!
Thanks for the sub ! I am following your as well and really like it ! Yes, few more days I should get there. (The 1000 subs) It will be a great Xmas achievement. Have a great day 🙏
I have a Leesure -Lite and watched you set it up, a few pointers for you, you needed to have full contact with the ground on the LID, jack up the rear jacks after you open it up and LOOK under the LID. I have trailer bubble levels on the side and back, saves time and right on for being level.
I made a light weight wooden rack for the TOP to store stuff on, saves the finish. I can also place a large waterproof container in the wooden rack over the wheels so there isn’t a weight distribution problem.
I have been a Leesure-Lite fan for years and on my second one, To get better mileage out of the TIRES, use 1 oz of Glass Tire Balancing Beads in each tire, I DO NOT have a Storage Box in front, instead I have a Cooler because I like my BEER COLD and Plentiful, If you go with a cheaper plastic Igloo Cooler, drill the TOP LID and foam it, there isn’t any insulation in the LID of those Coolers.
Enjoyed seeing the Video and the Camp Ground look very nice, I too like camping up North and pissed off about them closing the Border, maybe next year.
Hi Sam, thank you so much for the tips. If I knew then what I know now I would pass the front storage pod. It is somewhat useless for me as my bike isn’t as suited for towing so I need to be careful with the tongue weight. Based on that, I ended up using it for light items or as a pantry after setting up my campground. Please keep in touch as I love to hear what other LL owners have to say. Cheers brotha
Great video and tips from everyone
@@WindyTherapy What makes the front storage pod useless?
I haven’t ordered one, yet…
@@tompingry5691 the front storage pod is great (it is useless only for me because I can’t load it as much as I would like to otherwise I can’t tow it safely) note: due to my bikes lower torque
You got it done very fast! I am not so expert but I think so…
Great work buddy! Congratulations 😊👏
Thanks 👍 buddy ! Yes, it is not a race but is handy to be able to get the campsite setup in few minutes. All the best as always
Wow it’s amazing. Very compact easy to handle and easy to transport to various places. Am not very familiar with these type of things. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching! Yes, this kind of motorcycle pop up camper trailer is very light and can be pulled with motorcycles or cars.
I Subbed not just because it was an awesome video but because you said "it" right.
"Keep the Rubber Side Down". I am ALWAYS saying that!
(Some say, "Keep the Shiny Side Up".) Thanks, Eddie!! 😁🤩
Thanks brother ! I am glad you liked it
Welcome to the family ! I hope you enjoy your Sunday. Cheers, Eddie
Thank you, very much like this. 👍
Thanks 🙏🏻 a lot Eric ! I appreciated your kind comment. Cheers 🍻 Eddie
It's going to take me a while to catch up on your content, so apologies for being late to the party. I'm amazed at how much mc campers have progressed over the years, Keep up the great work. Eric
Thank you so much for watching and supporting my humble channel ! Don’t worry about catching up as I know really well that is hard to stay current with all our subscribers. I am a firm believe that we need to spread the love around. Yes, these motorcycle pop up campers really evolved over the years and to tell you the truth is more comfortable than my own bed. All the best as always Eric and let’s keep Kraken
@@WindyTherapy I couldn't agree more and try hard to support the community.
I've watched this video a few times, most recently with my wife Sharon. She insisted I ask what your rug is made of. She loves it. The trailer too.
Hahaha 🤣 Don’t feel bad because most people love my Austin Powers rug ! It is great because is made with polypropylene so it is weather / waterproof. I bought on Amazon so …. I will look for the link hang on

Thanks for sharing this video.This is my first year with the LL . I’m not to happy on the awning setup . It creates pockets of water when it rains and then gets splashed on the side of the trailer. Got to figure out a mod to avoid that and other things. Happy trails 😉👍
I had the same experience during my previous trip and I ended up lowering the awning to have a lower angle towards the front during the night. I've seen a fellow LL owner on the LL Facebook group who installed tent poles (doing a "X") underneath the awning and worked well for him. (I may need to experiment and see if my old tent fiberglass poles would work) Thanks for stopping by and subscring ! Cheers ✌
I do like the LL in general. It’s light and pulls easy. I have looked at the X mod on CZcams . I will need to look into this further. Keep your videos coming 👍😉
Will do ! Please let me know if you decided to proceed with the “X” idea. Thanks again !
I am also interested in the tent frame idea ! Thanks for sharing
Thank you very good demo...
Thank you so much for your feedback Bruce ! Cheers
I just bought same trailer, video was very helpful. Thank you from an old newbie

How much does your Lee's ure lite weigh fully packed ready to roll?
I just had a chance to stop at a hwy scale last weekend coming back from this trip and the total weight was 500 lbs and the tongue weight was 48 lbs. (more than i expected as the unit with all the options I chose is about 380 lbs) I am removing some items aiming to go down to 450 lbs next time. Thanks for stopping by. Cheers 🤘
Great vid. Awning looked a little vulnerable, but still great to have.
Would have like to have seen the inside sleeping area.
Thank you so much ! The awning material is actually pretty sturdy but it is a bugger to setup if you don’t have another person to hold the poles. (Not hard …. It just takes longer) As far as the interior …. Yes, I will be planning a camping trip shortly and I will be showing the inside and some hacks to improve our comfort. Cheers 🍻 ! Eddie
In the meantime please feel free to ask any question you may have. Cheers.
Nothing wrong with a Lees-Ure Lite. Realistic setup time, we don't need to break the world record. Still... love my Mini Mate. A used LL would have been my next choice. Happy camping..Hope to be thru that area next summer.
Totally agree Jim, mainly because when we are camping we aren't on the clock. Let's keep in touch and perhaps meet and camp somewhere in the Okanagan next summer. All the best buddy.
@@WindyTherapy We'll definately keep in touch. Here's to a beer over a nice, smooth but slow setup of our tent trailers.
LOL ! I loved the plan !
@@WindyTherapy i would love to join this band wagon, if I can get the time off work. I have a brother-in-law in Fairmont Hot Springs where I am hoping to ride to the Rocky's to visit him, the Okanagan Valley is just a few hours west from there.
That would be awesome Wayne ! Please keep me in the loop as far as your trip plans when the right time arrives.
Very nice, what a wonderful place. LIKE 🏍️🌏🇧🇷
Indeed ! The Canadian West Coast reminds me of Brazil !! Obrigado amigo
@@WindyTherapy Muito bonito mesmo!
Abraço 🏍️🌏🇧🇷
I've just joined the LL family. I found a 2010 for sale. Looking forward to doing some exploring on the Gold Wing with my own little Hilton rolling along behind!
Welcome to the LL family Stu ! I am sure you will love it and with the Goldwing you will tow it without issues. (My Triumph Trophy SE is under powered) Feel free to ask me anything and I will be happy to answer ! Thanks for subscribing
Seems fantastic! Wonder could a normal size sedan tow this camper?💖👍
Hi Neil ! You can because only weighs 500 lbs. (I’ve seen people towing with a smart car and I also tow it with my motorcycle) It isn’t an Rv but is way better than a tent and you don’t need to change vehicles to haul it. Feel free to ask any questions about it. Cheers, Eddie
I like your set up. I can’t see me getting that type of trailer, I could sacure my Cabela’s camping kitchen on top of the trailer for traveling! It would have been nice to see the inside of the trailer. Oh well…
Thanks 🙏🏻 for stopping by. Yes it is a nice little unit. I have several videos and there’s one or two about the interior.
Indoor bathroom is super important for me, but I'm willing to use a folding toilet + biobags, enclosed by shower curtain inset into plastic rectangle to catch shower water from a "solar heater" gravity-drain nozzle (water heated on cook-stove ad desired before filling the shower bag).
The options are endless but considering that I am towing with my motorcycle (sometimes with the SUV) I need to be mindful about the weight. I like the way you’re thinking
Cheers, 🍻
Superbly 👏👏👏
Thank you very much ! I am glad you liked it ! Cheers 🖖 Eddie
@@WindyTherapy Liking is too insufficient compare to what I really love it. It's unique.
@@bilmuhalper and the best if the fact I can tow it with the motorcycle or our family SUV
@@WindyTherapy Liking is too insufficient compare to what I really love it. It's unique.
I have seen the technical diagrams and your towing pictures in 2019-2020, if I am not wrong. You already gave the diagram at Triumph Trophy forum site. That was and is still great.
As many people may wonder also i would like to ask what kind of effects occured to the chasis in the course of the time. I guess that maximum weight of the camper plus yours must be less than Maximum load capacity of the TTSE. Or is there any given towing capacity with only rider at some technical specs?
@@bilmuhalper Good question ! I can’t tell if towing will affect the chassis or not but it is important the realize the motorcycle isn’t “carrying” all the weight. The tongue weight is often between 45-55 Lbs while the rest is dispersed onto the trailer axle. The stress is really related to getting it rolling and stopping so I am more concerned about the wear and tear of the clutch and brake pads.
Love it. I was going to get one but opted to just buy a tent.
I hear you ! I still camp with my 2 person tent mainly if I planning to face mountain passes. (My bike is under torqued) Another benefit is the fact I can also tow it with our family car and then my wife comes with me.
Thanks 🙏🏻 for stopping by. Cheers, Eddie
@@WindyTherapy Haven't had time to check out your channel, doing 36,000 mile service on My Royal Enfield Int650. What bike are you using? I was going to pull the Lees-ure Lite with a Triumph Thunderbird LT 1700.
@@MeAndMyRoyalEnfield No worries brother. I have the Triumph Trophy SE which had lots of CC and HP but lower (than most) torque.
I really like your video, I have a FJR yamaha, looks like your bike and was looking at this camper. You showed step-by-step how you put everything up and that really helped. You have helped me make a decision on the camper. Question, what do you use to cool yourself when it gets hot and do you have a waste system you use inside that is portable? Some have used an artic air plug-in for cooling, just curious about what you use. Looks like you have a good time.
Hi Patrick, I am glad it was helpful ! Generally speaking in Western Canada (or USA) it tends to cool down at night so I don’t have problems to sleep. I do have a small USB fan that I use during the day just to circulate the air a bit. Having said that, one of the options for this particular model is an A/C and it’s brackets to attach to the front window. (But you need to be mindful about the extra weight)
Some folks carry a porta potty but I don’t for a couple of reasons. 1) extra weight 2) I prefer to camp in campgrounds with bathrooms 3) If I come across a dispersed camping scenario, I would simply hit the bushes caveman style.
Thanks for stopping by ! More camper videos coming soon. Cheers, Eddie
Five hundred camp sites?? Like a little city!
Indeed it is huge ! I got lost inside twice 😃 Thanks for stopping by my friend
@@WindyTherapy oh my!
Please Can you show some rainy night when there's heavy rain and you stay in this camper.
I don’t have any footage with rain but I will make sure I post it when it happens :)
just bought my first Goldwing trike in Florida, and I‘m considering the LuL as well. It appears it’s the only camper trailer to be setup by handicapped. So far, I’m not sure where to buy one, just a few dealers across the continent. I figure I’ll see when riding North. From your nice video I see a certain sloppiness in the walls, and I’m wondering about robustness of the whole setup in strong winds. Are there hookups for lines along the roof edge in the LuL? Also, I long ago switched to robust and long carpenter steel nails with a claw steel hammer that can go in AND out in any ground.
Hello there ! Yes the LL or Mini Mate were my top 2 favourite options. After the unit is properly setup the walls (fabric walls) are pretty solid and stable. They aren’t as rigid as a solid wall but they certainly don’t flap around. (There’s no need for additional lines) I am sure you will have a blast ! Have a look on some other videos as they may provide additional information. Let me know if you have further questions. Thanks for stopping by, Cheers

Thanks for the dealers‘ list. I’ll find one on my way up north, from Florida towards Alaska. Perhaps I should drop by the manufacturer. Likely has the greatest selection. Thanks again.
You’re welcome. The manufacturer is close to my hometown and they typically don’t have units in stock as they sell like hot cakes. Having said that if your passing by British Columbia, give the LL President a call (Peter Jansen) and I am sure he will do his best to help you. Cheers
Wow I like it. But do they have them in the USA. And can you pull it with a car. And how much does it cost. A lady who likes to camp and have something simple to operate and pull with a car. 😊👍
Hello there ! Yes and Yes ! Below is the list of the dealers in USA and you most certainly can tow it with your car. I use our Nissan Murano when my wife comes as she can’t take long motorcycle trips. (She never liked camping but she loves sleeping on this pop up camper). I decided to buy a new unit because the price of used ones were pretty close to a new unit. (Can$ 7000 approximately Usd 5000)
Oh, and a lady can easily handle it. Thanks for stopping by !

Can you sleep 2 in this. Looking for one for me and the wife. Like the quick setup
Hi Bill ! Yes, it has a double size bed inside. (As long you guys dont mind to get cozy) I will be shooting a video shortly to highlight the interior features so please stay tuned. Thanks for stopping by. Cheers, Eddie 🙏
Wow I’m digging your setup and let’s talk about that very colorful rug you pulled out in front of your camper? Wow that’s thing is pretty bright and I dig it.
How much do you think your overall load weight is that your pulling?
I’ve built a small cargo trailer to pull behind my motorcycle and I believe it comes in weighing about 350lbs total weight loaded and yes your absolutely correct weight means everything.
My wife and I went on an 11 state, 8,000 mile 30 day motorcycle ride pulling our trailer. The motorcycle starved for power going against the wind in North Dakota as we ended up getting like 25 mpg. Normally it’s about 35-40 mpg with trailer in tow.
I’d like to know more about the rear storage under the trailer. Where did you purchase it?
Maybe you can do a video on the specs of the trailer and what you’ve added to it and how and what you pack in and on it? That would be something I’m sure a lot of us viewers would love to watch.
So I’ve subscribed so I can view that video! 😜✌🏽
Thanks for sharing.
First and foremost, welcome to channel and thanks for subscribing. I really appreciated it.
I am an Austin Powers fan so the camper name is Shaggin so the colourful mat complements the 70’ decor! 😂
The dry weight (with the options I picked) is about 380 lbs then adding my gear, I was reaching 450lbs which honestly was too much for my motorcycle to safely pull it. ( my triumph trophy has lots of HP and CCs but lacks torque mainly to face hills or mountain passes. I recently went over my gear and removed some items that weren’t a must. I haven’t stopped at a Hwy scale recently but I weighed the items I removed and I managed to cut down 20 lbs. So …..The total weight should be around 420 lbs
The unit came with the rear aluminum storage (one of the options I chose because it helps to reduce the tongue weight by adding some items into it) ? I have a friend that is a dealer in Saskatchewan and can likely ship it to USA. Info below 👇

That’s a great idea ! I will create a video about the specs and how I am packing ! Thank you 🙏🏻
Good🥝
Thank you 😋
just fyi the tabs on the corner of the campy are for the end pole to slip through, keeps it the corner down and from flapp'in around
Oh ! I shall check this out buddy ! Thanks a lot for the feedback. We are always learning something new in our community. ✌
Do the tent walls seal to keep bugs out? If not, perhaps affixing a metal strip to the hard walls and using magnets against the lower tent walls would work?
Hi Rose ! Yes, they work very well (windows and doors) as is. The doors have a strip of Velcro all the way across the bottom that does the trick. I have another video (Excel Pop Up Camper Tour) where you can see that a bit better.
Thanks for stopping by. Cheers, Eddie
Hi Windy,
I’m planning on either the Excel II or the Mini Mate, leaning toward the Excel. How well does your Triumph pull it? How does your fuel efficiency change when towing?
Hello Tom,
I will list a video below where I talk about my riding observations including the fuel economy. Having said that, you will burn more gas mainly when riding in the city (stop and go are a bugger) but in the hwy once you're up to speed isn't too bad. (I would say it will increase the fuel consumption between 20-35% based on the comments above)

Both campers are great but the Excel as you probably know, it is heavier. What kind of bike do you have ? Torque is more important than CC's
Thanks for stopping by, cheers, Eddie
@@WindyTherapy
I have a 2021 Honda Goldwing DCT Tour. It’s a six cylinder 1833cc horizontally opposed engine. The specs say it develops 125 hp and 125 ft-lbs torque. I previously pulled a Harbor Freight Tag-a-long trailer behind my 106 CI V-Twin Victory (about 100 hp and 100 ft-lbs) and couldn’t feel it, but the Excel is a much larger trailer and I wondered if you could feel it much.
I’ve enjoyed your videos, especially the camping ones. There are a lot of good Mini-Mate videos, but not as many Excel videos.
🙂😎
Thank you 🙏🏻 very much
How does that camper do in the wind once set up? I live in 'Berta and it gets windy here sometimes.
Hey bud ! Not bad actually. I can’t honestly say that I faced nasty winds or windstorms but the unit is pretty “planted”after you set it up. Worse case I would just put the awning down but other than that it shouldn’t be an issue in the prairies
Thanks for stopping by
Is there enough room to squeeze a couple sleeping bags on floor? I want to camp with kids and have a light camper to pull behind a Scion.
Good question ! Sadly not …. There space by the “foyer” is about 3’x3’ (unless they are small kids) but ….. what some people so is to buy what the factory calls as “Add a room” which gets zippered on the awning creating a full enclosed area where it can be used as a massive living space.
The scion wouldn’t have any issues towing it !
Thanks for stopping by. (I have a video where you can see the interior a bit better) Cheers, Eddie

Do you have a mattress or memory foam pad in bed area of tent?
How do you keep it from someone stealing it if you are out exploring. Any way to lock the hitch or tires?
Hi there ! I use a self inflating 4” ThermaRest mondoking mattress. It is not cheap but doesn’t leak and is insulated and comfy. (If you check the video called “Top 5 luxury items” you will have a chance to see it. There are other options such as a foam mattress or memory foam but they add more weight to the trailer. Thanks for watching! Cheers 🍻
I never had issues but I do have hitch locks 🔐 ( for when riding or parked) but honestly the trailer insurance gives me more peace of mind.
And as an additional bonus I can also tow it with our Nissan Murano
Ill go memory foam. I cannot sleep on blow up anything well at all.
I’ve searched but haven’t found information on how to pack camping equipment into the Excel II Leisure Lite camper. How do you pack your camper? What are the maximum dimensions and where?
I will be working on it shortly! Hang in there ! Cheers, Eddie
Try bungee cords for awning tie downs.
@@ShaughnGray I just bought a set last week but haven’t had a chance to use it. I am sure if will take things easier ! Thanks a lot for the tip we’re definitely in sync.
So what does the canopy attach to on the trailer? You just pulled it over the edge. But does it latch on to anything to keep the wind from blowing it around?
Hi Vicky !
The awning gets connected to the camper by a thick zipper. You don’t need to remove it but I typically do.
Thanks for stopping by. Cheers Eddie
The awning installation starts around 9:00 minutes
@WindyTherapy cool that is good to know.
does the trailers braking system work with your bikes abs system, or does the trailer force you to loose control in a panic stop situation
I am sorry for the late reply but I was in Brazil.
No, there’s no electric brakes as it may add additional hazards if the trailer tries to brake out of sync from the bike. Based on that the bike brakes are taking the extra load when I am braking. I make sure I keep enough distance between the bike and the vehicle ahead of me and gear down to slow down. (Typically not an issue on the highway)
I have a video where I talk about towing and braking
Thanks for stopping by
Just out of curiosity. Does the popup have a washroom/black tank?
Hi Patricia, no, it doesn’t have a washroom but some people buy those portable ones. (There’s space for it )
Another cool point about this pop up camper is the fact you can tow it with a motorcycle or a small car or SUV. (I towed few times with my Nissan Murano)
Thank you very much for subscribing. Let me know if you have more questions, I will be glad to help.
Welcome a board ! Eddie
we looking at this one have you been happy with it since you bought it and if you dont mind what was the price because i cant find any info on this unit
Hi there ! Yes, 100% happy and satisfied. 🙌 I bought a new unit about a year ago through a distributor even knowing I live 1.5 hours from the manufacturing plant. (The dealer had one in stock and I would had to wait 4-5 weeks from the manufacturer) At that time the basic unit was about Can$ 7000 plus another 800 or so for the accessories. ( the used ones were almost the same price so I decided to bite the bullet and get a new one) Whereabouts do you live ? I may be able to help.
@@WindyTherapy i live in alberta brooks Just out side Calgary

Hermoso
Gracias amigo !
Not sure how to upload a photo or two of the devices we have for protecting the rack.
Hi there ! I got your picture through my instagram account and your idea looks great ! I will steal your idea for the next season. Thanks for sharing it and subscribing to the channel. All the best as always
Rough cost? Can it be fitted to a KLR 650 S for towing?
Hi Steve, it was about CAD 8,2000 new back in 2018. No the KLR won’t have enough torque nor weight to handle it. The torque is important to haul it (mine is already borderline with 90ft.lbs) but most importantly the bike needs to be at least 20-30% heavier than the trailer otherwise the trailer will take over.
You may want to check the mini mate which is a bit smaller and lighter.
What does the inside look like? Wanted to see how much room you had.
Hi Jim !! Below is a video where I show the interior. Thanks for watching. Cheers Eddie

Let me know if you have further questions
Where can I find this unit or one like it? Is online the only place?
Let me know whereabouts you live and I will tell you the closest spot ! Cheers 🍻
@@WindyTherapy I live in Missouri USA and I’ve seen these trailers on my CZcams but it seems like they’re mostly in New England or Canada. I saw a man who had one shipped but it came slightly damaged. He fixed his, I’m not that handy lol
Do you bring mosquito netting for your "patio"?
There is an OEM screen room that you can add but that’s an additional weight that I am not willing to take. If you’re towing with a vehicle then I would definitely recommend.
As far as keeping the mosquitos and bugs away, I use a Thermacell that works well. (If you want to learn more about check my video called top “5 luxury camping items”)
Thanks for watching Rose !
What is the max speed you pull this?
Hi Sean ! The highway speeds aren’t an issue (as I can’t even feel it) but typically stay on the speed limit or 10 over maximum.
Thanks for stopping by ! Cheers
Pulling ant trailer kills the fun on a ride. I did a couple of times but hated it.
It isn’t for everyone that’s for sure. Having said that, It isn’t much different from my normal riding style. (I am not a knee dragger)
