July 2024 Update: I plan to sell my trailer soon...stay tuned and be sure to message me if interested. Thanks!
Why are you selling it? Very solid build!
@@bbruton77 Onto the next project! Gotta make room and $$. Otherwise I'd hold onto it as it's so versatile.
Solid build. Disclaimer on this comment: I'm looking at building out my own so I'm thinking thru things and trying to think thru how to have unit that is campground friendly and also off grid friendly. I would have flipped the kitchen and any utilities and move the tent entry to the back side of the trailer. If you ever decided to use it in a campground on longer trips, most fire rings and tables will be on the passenger side and electrical will be on the driver. If you get a full hookup site by accident, the sewer would also be on the driver.
One of the best DIY build I’ve seen with all the well thought out features...thank you for sharing
Thank you, I really appreciate that. It's a fun trailer, a lot of fun to build out and make your own.
Great build..I'm in the market for the Scout and you have some awesome ideas in your build! Well done
Thank you, appreciate it. Lots of fun building and using. I plan to do a few more vids on the electrical system, and other components here in the coming months.
Very neat and tidy
I like that
Thank you!
Really enjoyed this follow up. As I mentioned prior, I was looking at one of these and actually did purchase it and I’m picking it up on Sunday so looking over some of the build you did is very intriguing. I really like the blue yeti bat system as I use some of their standalone things now in the kitchen set up was very impressive.
Thank you, I appreciate that. It's a really fun trailer. And a lot of the fun for me was also personalizing it. Really nice shell you get to work with. I hope your build goes smoothly. Enjoy!
Love your build! Giving me inspiration for my own!
Thank you, appreciate it. It's a fun rig, and fun to make it your own.
Love the video and thank you for all the links!
Thank you!
Love it, you did a great job.
Thank you!
Awesome build. Thanks so much for the walk-around. Great ideas!
Thank you! It's a lot of fun

definitely would like to see a follow-up on the electrical.
Absolutely, glad to. I think that's been the most requested so far. I'm planning to publish one toward end of this month or early December. Thanks for your patience.
Finally got the electric video. Thanks for patience: czcams.com/video/PHfbcuK2M80/video.html
Simply amazing man! Great job on the perfect build!
Thank you. Appreciate that! Getting ready to enjoy using it more with the fall season ahead.
If you want to sell it, I’m in the market. Thanks for the build sheet🤙
That is an amaziing rig. Thank you so much for putting together that video.
Thank you, appreciate that. It's a lot of fun.
It’s sad they discontinued the Endless Breeze fan. I’ve been using them for nearly 20 years and my last one just died. There is nothing on the market that compares.
Great walk around, thanks for the video
Thank you, agree. Hoping they'll bring it back at some point
Love this build! Do you have a link for the LED lights you added to the sides and back?
Thanks! Yes, actually those lights from Dream Lighting are the one major item not on Amazon...or at least I couldn't find it (they have a fairly extensive Amazon storefront). Dream Lighting is the vendor, part #13712CA-B and I had to buy them direct from Dream Lighting. They are AMAZING lights...absolutely love them. I think they were about $25ish or so. Here's a link to the product on their site: dreamlightingled.com/led-awning-light/73-39-200mm-led-awning-light-amber-cool-white.html#/11-color-black
Thank you so much for the quick reply and link!
This is what I want to end up with. What is the base weight of the trailer before and after your mods? I can't seem to find that info anywhere.
You know I need to actually put it on a weigh station at some point. I'm estimating mine is probably in the 2.2-2.4K range fully loaded when I travel. Here's a spec sheet on it:
www.smittybilt.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/02/SB_ScoutTrailer_NPA.pdf
What's the info or link for the lights that you have around the trailer (the ones the go from amber to white)? I didn't them listed on your build list. Thanks

I've just started my Scout build. Thanks for the ideas. I have questions on the fender table. Is that part of a KingCamp 2-fold and how is it mounted to the trailer?
Thank you. It's a fun trailer. For the table, basically it's stainless steel table bracket separate from the KingCamp table and you just have to get the placement right so that table rests on fender using the stops/feet on bottom. The brackets take a little getting used to how they lock/unlock at least for me, but you basically push on the table horizontally while lifting and that releases the pressure. Think I had to buy my own stainless fasteners to secure to trailer. It's worked out great though, super solid and don't have to worry about it coming loose even with a lot of weight on it. Will put links below to the parts:

If you need more detailed pics of where everything is mounted, send me message on IG or FB and I'll send the close-up pics over.
@@AdventureRocks Thanks for taking the time to respond. And thanks for the links to the Amazon listings. I've got everything on order. I love your channel and especially the Smittybilt Scout videos. well done.
@@glennraney8827 Thank you, appreciate the feedback! I am working on a few more videos on the tent, awning, and then Scout overall review in next couple weeks.
Does the Blackstone have room to slide in? Looks taller than the existing shelf. Love everything you did!
Thanks! I store the Blackstone in the back compartment in front of fridge... Just barely fits. I store the sink in the drawer there instead when in transit. The kitchen slide will barely fit one of those tiny Zureka camp stoves, so you're right, pretty tight. Would be nice if the griddle could slide in there!
@@AdventureRocks I would love to find one of these for my sons, what site did you find the used one on?
@@nancysavidge7611 surprisingly Craigslist. You can buy new from 4wheelparts and others.
Link to the lights you used? Missed them in the AZ build list. Thanks! Great build!

Nice build! I would love to learn more about the wood table that you have on the fender and the brackets you used to secure it. Additionally, do you have a link for the multi color lights you used?
Thank you, appreciate it! For table I used one already made as I like the bamboo look, but you can of course make your own. Below are the parts I used. Basically it's stainless steel table bracket and you just have to get the placement right so that table rests on fender using the stops/feet on bottom. The brackets take a little getting used to how they lock/unlock at least for me, but you basically push on the table horizontally while lifting and that releases the pressure.

I am looking at getting the blackstone 17" for my set up but were do you store it when not in use?
Mine fits in the rear storage, driver side tray furthest in. I've got just enough room for the griddle with lid/cover turned sideways and then a 12V compressor fridge on that slide/tray.
Love it
Thank you
What lights are those the Amber and white lights? Are they on amazon
Thanks! Yes, they are recently added on Amazon and have a 5% off coupon right now:

I am about 90% on acquiring the Scout. Do you know the maximum width of the spare tire holder? I have 285 MTs on my Runner and want to carry my full size spare on the trailer. You mentioned your height at about 6ft, can you walk under the awning without ducking at full height? Great video, thanks for the detailed walk around!
Thank you. Yes it is 13-3/8" on spare tire holder. I've got my awning mount set just a little lower closer to 6'6", so I can just barely walk under it without ducking factoring in the pitch. You can of course raise height too. My mount is fabricated, but uses the existing OEM stake pockets. The OEM one can adjust up and down as well. The Scout is a great value overall, a lot of fun.
How did you install 270 awning? Thanks for the video!
Sure, no problem. I took out the OEM awning tubes that came with it (just the part that inserts into the pockets for the RTT structure). Then I took plain tubular steel same diameter, 24" in length and fabricated them to fit inside the pockets with the adjustment holes/pins. Then I mounted the awning right to the same square tubes at top...no additional L brackets or anything else...so back of 270 degree awning (extruded aluminum) is sandwiched right against the same square tubes. I made small square cut-outs in the tube on back side to give access to the bolts for awning and then used plastic covers designed for tubular steel to cover the square holes to finish it out. Not sure if all that makes sense in words. I plan to eventually come back and do a review on awning so maybe I can do some close-ups to make it more clear. It looks real clean though and fits nicely against unit.
@@AdventureRocks thank you so much. Very helpful!
What the link for the trailer build

Have anything solar for charging your bluette?
Not yet, but maybe in future 😃 Should be easy to add a panel if needed. For 1-2 day trips I don't think I'll need it, but I could see for longer trips it'd be super helpful to have a portable setup.
Where do you store the Blackstone? It’s too big for the stove slider.
Fits right behind fridge in back on the tray
@@AdventureRocksawesome. I’m looking at the same type of setup but, until you, I’d never seen anyone put a blackstone in the stove slide. Just looking at how the 17” fit on your rig, I’m the guessing the 22” will work as well.
@@thesandmanii8109 the position of the rubber feet on the bottom of the griddle makes all the difference as it allows it to overhang on the drawer platform. Works great though!
how did you mount your Tracks?
Just bungees...nothing fancy - amzn.to/48QyrzX
I would have liked to make use of the mounts included with them, but they were too narrow/far in compared to my posts. If the track manufacturer would have made them a bit more versatile to clip in anywhere in the tracks then that would have been a lot nicer. So far though 4x on ea hold it fine going down highway.
How is the trailer doing? any updates?
Thank you for asking. Yes, enjoying it. Planning on circling back here in next month with more detailed videos and reviews on components. It's a fun trailer, a lot of value.
After seeing your video I started looking and found a great slightly used Smittybilt scout trailer. I replaced the SB RTT with a Tuff Stuff overland Alpha tent with the Annex and 270 awning. @@AdventureRocks
Very nice! @@greywolf97883 ...the used ones are incredible value. A lot of fun to personalize.
Total cost??
Full retail would be $17.7K to date, not factoring in time of course and discounts/sales.
Mind sharing how much you paid for the original used unit prior to your additions? Simply as a point of reference for others posted for sale. Thanks.
@@whitneylaw1054 Brand new, the Smittybilt Scout runs about $9-9.5K with shipping & taxes factored in (unassembled). Used they go anywhere from $7-9K for barebones kit, and of course depending on condition. Outfitted and completed, I've seen them fetch as high as $30K with higher-end equipment on board. Otherwise once you get over $30K, probably more going to see the Patriot, Turtleback, etc. trailers.
