Tour of a Low Budget Tiny Trailer

  • Many of us come into being nomads with very low budgets. With luck, we at least have a reliable car and maybe not much else--so what do we live in--a tent? What we need is a super cheap, super light trailer we can tow with our car so we can sleep comfortably, safely and with very little money--where can we get such a thing?

    @ajf5823 Před rokem +6

    3 years later and this company has grown so much! Unfortunately their prices have too but so has their quality and it’s still a great deal .
    I plan to buy their off road V series and live full time in it. I love how they offer a lot of different options and you can get everything you need and nothing you don’t want

    • @harrymills2770
      @harrymills2770 Před rokem +2

      Yes, the prices went up, but not as much as most others and they started out among the lowest. And it wasn't just price hikes. They improved the materials and construction along the way.
      And you and I are both paying extra for the V-Series features, like the off-road wheels and tires, Timbren suspension and the Max Coupler hitch.
      I like a company that improves the basics rather than just adding frills. The minute a huckster starts in on the galley "everyone's raving about" I tune out. Tell me how it's built, what materials are used, and what components are used.
      I hope you're choosing to live in one and not forced to. A person could really stretch their money living that way. Harder in some ways. Easier in others.

    We bought a RangeRunner in August 2017, couldn't be happier! We love every single thing about this little camper! We live in California and had it shipped sight unseen. Steve and his staff went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and were happy with our purchase. Great company to deal with! Highly recommend :)

  • @brianmcdaid3178
    @brianmcdaid3178 Před 5 lety +6

    I love my CoolCamp XL! This is a great value for the money! Steve and his family are great to work with and produce a quality product. For anyone who just wants to go camping (not glamping) this is the real deal. I pull mine with a 2016 Chevy Impala (1,000 lb towing limit) and it tows straight, stable, and effortlessly. If you are an Android user download the ParkAdvisor app. For Apple users it is AllStays. This is really an excellent app for finding campgrounds.

  • @doingthings1788
    @doingthings1788 Před 6 lety +5

    Great alternative to a tent. We don't own one of these, but we have tent camped A LOT. We got a cab-over camper for our truck now, because the dampness in a tent can cause back pain, ect. And when the people who camp next to you are a problem, you can just drive away. No hassles. Not so with a tent. When it rains tents are muddy and have to be dried out to store (mildew free) If we didn't all ready have the cab-over we would buy one of these. Gas mileage would be better and you can move about without the "fun" of have to put the tent up at every new spot. I think these are well worth considering.

    Hi Bob, Great video. There are a couple of other manufacturers that are offering great value as well. One in in Florida called the "Tiny Camper Company" . The other one is in SC. called "Rustic Trails teardrops". Both company's offer great value for their products. Their trailers are very reasonably priced for those on low income. Thanks again

  • @ohmercy5924
    @ohmercy5924 Před 4 lety +2

    This is stellar. I’m just in the beginning of planning on how to get on the road, considering the different options that I might be able to afford. I’m in that low SS income bracket- $800 mo. I don’t even have a car yet. And I’m flat broke! LOL. My dog has been having chronic ear infections for the last year and a half so every penny goes to the vet.
    Anyway... I had been thinking of doing the mini-van camper as something I might be able to afford. But I just love this. It gives me hope that I’ll be able to do it. The owner seems like a really nice man.

  • @FreemanInColorado

    East coasters, one option for pickup might be to take the Amtrak AutoTrain from Lorton VA to Sanford FL and camp your way back home. The AutoTrain southbound can be very inexpensive in the spring when the snow birds are heading back north. It's quite a ride and one that everyone should do at least once. Good food, friendly fellow passengers and a low stress journey south.

    @rosshussey1723 Před 5 lety +4

    Very informative video, especially listening to the owner explain the different models. My biggest concern is for older people as myself and sleeping on a 4" piece of memory foam. My back just can't stand that. I wonder if there is any other option available for bedding. These campers are primarily used to sleep in and stay out of the weather and afford some type of basic security which a tent does not give. I like the luggage rack option that one can attach an awning to that gives shade and a place to sit to view the campsite and scenery. Will weigh the options and look into purchasing one of these units.
