- In this video, I test out the Mammoth Overland trailer for the first time! Spent some time taking the trailer off road, using the kitchen and figuring out the kitchen. I love it so far!

Definitely a cool set up
Yeah it’s awesome!
Great vid!
Can’t wait to get ours. And a road trip to woodinville to boot. My wife and I have camped for many years. From tent camping at Baker Lake campground in WA to using a motor home in the Black Hills of SD. Addressing the issue of the heaters we found that a small ceramic heater for about $20 fits the bill. They are quiet and efficient and they heat very well. Looking forward to May!!
It's an awesome piece of kit! I'm so glad that I was able to snag one so early on. I have a 400 watt ceramic heater actually, but it didn't quite do the trick so I need to search around a little more
Can't beat camping this time of year
Agreed!
This past winter I used one 20# propane tank with my propex. Get yourself a -35 sleeping bag . You can use it for extra padding when it's warm. I do this in wi winters
Crawling into that trailer at night is a game changer. We love ours. We bought a 12 volt heated mattress pad and it has been good. Enjoyed the video. That’s a beautiful part of the country you guys live in.
Yeah it really is! I am going to look in to a heated mattress pad/blanket cause I think that is going to be a good solution that won't draw too much power. When did you take delivery of yours?
@@OFFTHEGRIND We don’t have the Mammoth, I was just commenting on a trailer vs tent in general. It took us a bit of time to adjust to pulling one in the tighter areas but it has been worth it. Seriously thinking about upgrading to the mission summit next year.
Oh okay gotcha. Yeah it’s really nice crawling in to a nice dry space at night.
Your new trailer looks like a cool way to go. The sweet potato hash and beef stroganoff are inspiring me to try them 😋
Both solid meals! And yes this trailer is amazing
What a great video and content it is great to see you David & Micheal having such a great time watching both of your videos I have to say seeing you light that jet bolt right under the paper towels kind of made me step back but ever thing was fine I can see A lot of potential in that trailer‘s future I was think for heat in your trailer I would look in too radiant heat like to stuff that they make to keep tile floor warm in the winter time or attaching a heated seat kit to like a piece of tile to get the radiant heat just a thought. But what a nice trailer and the kitchen kick out is great Glad you both had some time to just chill in the woods have a good one
Brian Martin
I’m surprised you’re the first to comment on the jet boil haha. It wasn’t actually close to it, but a bad camera angle. But radiant heat is a good idea. I’ll look in to that for sure
@@OFFTHEGRIND you mite want to add another fire Extinguisher in the kitchen area too
Looking forward to this . . . (Duvall WA)
Hope it didn’t disappoint!
Great trailer and great shooting style. I get my off road teardrop in about 3 weeks and can't wait. Looking forward to more overland exploring with your "square drop" as we call them here in Oz, there's a shortage in this niche on CZcams.
Subbed👌🤟
It really has been a game changer and I’m loving it. It will not be on the channel for the next couple months cause I’m going to areas That are really tight, but I’ll definitely be bringing it back hard as soon as possible
Just found your channel while searching about the Mammoth Overlander Camper. Great channel and now a subscriber.
Much appreciated! More to come with the mammoth as well! Soon
Great video. Congratulations on your new set up. Now you’ll have to plan some really epic meals since you’ve got the full kitchen set up. One thing you may want to consider for sleeping warmer is a 12v electric blanket, I’m sure there’s a 12v socket inside or plug it into a power station. Also I’m sure it’s on your list but you’ll probably want to mount a solar panel on top for extended stays. And to continue rambling there’s a video on the Where’s Wiseman channel (fellow Washingtonians) where they use a small heater plugged into a Bluetti power station to heat their Tear Drop trailer a similar set up may work for you. Tear Drop is a smaller space but if you dedicate a portable power station to a tiny heater and use the house battery to run an electric blanky I bet you’ll be snuggly warm.
Yes, there is 12v plugs in there, plus there is an inverter so I can run 110v house outlet stuff as well. The trailer actually comes with a solar panel. I am considering mounting it, but I camp in the trees a lot of the time, so being able to move it around and chase the sun I think is more valuable in my specific situation. I really think the heated blanket may be the best solution for me. I do DEFINITELY need to get a new sleeping bag though. It's rated for 40* but that is not a comfortable 40.
@@OFFTHEGRIND that’s awesome that it came with a solar panel you could make your own frame for it and store it on the roof then move it around for the best light. I use a flexible panel for charging my power stations and it works awesome, lot cheaper than buying the Jackery or Bluetti panels and it’s made to leave outside. I assume your panel is a hard panel could probably get some aluminum 8020 and make a frame with adjustable legs that stow away for roof storage…. Could even make a CZcams video on it. Definitely get a better sleeping bag though or get a sleeping quilt to toss on the bag when it’s cold. Might want to get some foam board or tiles for the floor too to insulate even more.
Great video! That Mammoth trailer makes a pretty strong argument at the price. It's a bummer that it doesn't offer a diesel heater. That would be SO nice for our cold PNW nights. Especially surprising since it's a local company. Still though, it looks like a SUPER cool trailer.
Anyway, great work and keep the videos coming!
They are such cool trailers! I really love it. They do have an option for a Propane heater, but I didn't like the one that they chose, so I opted not to get it. I may go back and get it retrofitted if I can't figure a good options out.
And thanks!!
@@OFFTHEGRIND why don't you like the propane heater? Thanks
@@Helloitsmeagain12345 the old option I didn’t like. It had an open flame which I was just not stoked on. The new option is great though!
Propex heater for the trailer and you’ll be dialed
1. How do you like the mammoth a year later?
2. Do you have the propane furnace?
great stuff man. great camera & editing work. awesome scenery. (you're so lucky to live in the great NW instead of the midwest) haha Keep it up young man. If it were a Tundra, i'd give ya a 10. so i'm gonna have to five ya a 9.9. :) Safe travels pal. im a new sub for life.
Thanks so much man! I’m definitely lucky to live in this area. I love it. And I’ll take a 9.9! If vehicle choice is my only downfall, not too bad lol
Buddy heater to keep warm? Bet your Taco gets around 12 mph? Have to check this trailer out.
Thanks
Mammoth has a new option for heat that I’m going to get retro fitted eventually actually. And yeah, pretty much spot on lol
Do you possibly have the recipes for your beef stroganoff and other dishes you create? We’re getting our Mammoth sometime in the next 3 months. So excited to get out and use it. Love your content!
I think I am going to make a video series about this actually. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Deserts!
@@OFFTHEGRIND Awesome! Looking forward to it!
Awesome thanks for sharing. Trailers are a great option in my opinion because it fixes the issue I guarantee 99.9% of overlanders have, they’re all over payload capacity. A trailer takes all the weight away from the vehicle, people put too much crap in the bed or on their vehicle that in an accident an insurance agent would be happy to point that out that it was unsafe being over the vehicle payload capacity and deny you payment.
I honestly have never thought about that but that is a great point. I’m loving the trailer and I’m honestly a little surprised to see how many people are starting to make a switch to some variation of a trailer
Nice trailer. Thinking about getting one. What's the name of the clothing brand you are wearing when you exit the trailer?
Dude the trailer is amazing. I absolutely love it. Hard to go back to an RTT honestly haha. The brand is revolution race
What is your plan for heating options?
Going to look in to a heated blanket. I personally need a better sleeping bag though as well haha
You still liking the mammoth?
Omg I am in love with your trailer. How long did it take for the manufacturer to build your trailer? We're thinking about buying one. Thanks for any information in advance.
Well mine took two months but I was the fifth production trailer. I know that the lead time is closer to 6 months now I believe. But we’ll worth the wait!
@@OFFTHEGRIND Thank you so much for your reply. 😃
I’ve seen videos of people having success staying warm with a heated blanket running on a battery… might be worth a shot.
Yeah that’s something I’m going to look in to. Just want to see what the power draw on them are
I Like that jacket..what brand?
It’s from revolution race
I'm going full time off grid at the end of March. I have watched countless videos on overland trailers and really haven't seen anyone address living off grid in the Southern heat in something like this. I live in Central Texas and it gets very hot here. I will be taking many trips over weekends and during weeks off. Anyone have any answers to how hot these trailers get in the mid of summer in Texas?
I can't speak to that honestly. I know that the one that I have has a liquid evaporator in it, which is essentially an A/C unit. So there are certainly options to keep you cool throughout the night.
so nice.. you have my subscribe… Thank you……..
Does Mammoth Overland have shades for those windows?
Haha no they don’t, but I’m definitely trying to figure out a way to do that
I wrote them about this and they said they are working on a solution. For now, i am thinking i could just get some blackout material and mount it up there.
Having just ordered one, Mammoth misses the mark in mktg. Competitors priced much much higher, have a nice list of standard features. Wonder why propane tank seems to not be plumbed to backend? Are there screens on doors? No mention. One video says 20 gal water another 22gals. They don’t talk about lights, etc
I completely agree. I don’t know why they don’t have a list of features and specs on the website. They have such an amazing product to offer, but don’t seem to be utilizing marketing resources available to them. That said, they’re a small company with a big order list so probably isn’t that big a deal to them
@@OFFTHEGRIND I have a feeling the price will not stay at $22.5K for long.
I think they're smart to take the low key approach, especially for now. With supplies being at best delayed to arrival being uncertain.
They're selling a new product, sorting out processes and trying to develop a customer base. Consumers are largely fickle and unforgiving and I've seen lots of good cottage industry folks get ruined and give up because demand outpaced production. I'm also on the wait list and hoping the timeline is still good for our unit. In the mean time I'm happy to live vicariously through those that have theirs!
Where is this trail located?
North of cle elum
Can you guys make real camp fires up there?
Lil propane ones ain’t enough sometimes
Yeah we can. And we’re definitely in the season where the propane no longer cuts it. Next time out will be a real fire
You guys could have moved the logs instead of driving over them. Guess you did it as a demo but it looked lazy.
It’s dead so there’s really no point in moving them when we have plenty of ground clearance
Trip seems a tad boring. Just constantly moving spots.
That’s the point of overlanding
Just get out and move that log Jeeze.
Why move it when you can drive over it?? More fun that way
