- We bought an Aluminum Trailer Company ATC bumper pull RV. It's the 2513 model. It's also a toy hauler. We'll be taking our Polaris RZR Trail S with us and we'll be taking you along for our trail rides via video! This is our first RV. We plan on it being our last one. We went all out on quality
This is our introduction to our new RV. We tell you a lot about it, not everything, but a lot!
We plan on turning this channel into our travel vlog. We'll be uploading this vlog on a fairly routine schedule. We have trips planned the rest of this year as well as a few early into next year. Our next trip is in September. We'll be headed to the trails of Arkansas and meeting up with a friend that resides there! We hope you SUBSCRIBE and hang out with us on our adventures!

Man that’s nice! I see them all the time at the campground over on the beach and at the Wambaw Trails down the road. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen the inside up close. Very well built in my opinion.
We love it. This trailer will be around long after we're gone. They are very well built. Thanks for checking it out.
We are super stoke with the quality of this rig! We love it!
Thats niiiiiiiiiiceee! Love it..... I modified an enclosed trailer to pull behind my Class A to allow extra bedroom sleeping and toy/hauler as it has flip up bed. Very modern and nice looking trailer guys!
Thanks so much. We love it. What toy are you hauling? Class A sounds super nice and way out of our price range. Also, we didn't want to drive something that big. Ben has to take me to an empty parking lot and teach me how to back it.
I'm nowhere near as handy as you are. Happy that this ATC rig has everything we need without modification! Thanks for checking it out!
Awesome job showing that awesome camper..hard work paying off ..cant wait to see more ..✌️
Gary, thanks so much. We worked all of our lives just for our retirement. I watched my parents live off of the Social Security welfare and I didn't want that for me. We've got more videos coming out, so stay tuned.
Good looking Rig Hope yall enjoy it!!!! Very Nice!
Thanks Ranger!
Now we can go camping with y'all. This will be perfect when we come watch Little Ranger play ball! See you soon brother!
Awesome can't wait !!
That’s an awesome travel trailer.
Thanks so much for the thorough walk-through.
We’re planning on buying one.
Happy Camping!
You're welcome. We love our camper and I think you will enjoy your camper, too. My husband and I love to research everything before we spend the money. There were only a few videos on the ATC, so we decided to do one on ours to help people make a more informed decision. We will be making more once we get it back.
That thing is awesome iam so happy for you guys 🤟
Thanks Mike 🤘
Thanks Mike! We have been saving for an RV for decades. Our dream is finally coming true!
Congratulations!!! We love our 5th wheel. Get a couple months of travel every winter!!!
Thanks man! We plan on at least 3 more trips this year. KH has planned out 4 trips already for 2024. She has at least 6 more in the works as well. When I retire, soon, we will be virtually living in this thing during the summer!
@@ACMEMowing it is awesome to travel. Get to a spot and don’t like it, just move on. For me it is about seeing nature’s beauty. Some pretty cool stuff out there if you slow down and open your eyes. I think we are headed to the pacific coast this winter. Love the ocean!
@@EdenLawnServices I loved camping at Black Mesa State Park. Because we didn't have Internet, I was able to put my phone down and just enjoy the nature and the conversations that we had. It's nice to disconnect once in a while.
Awesome trailer! Lynn and I are probably getting a trailer for next year. Enjoy and be safe!
Thanks so much. That would be awesome for y'all to get a trailer. Maybe we could meet up some day.
That sink faucet will actually pull out a lot farther than that - it's either caught on something underneath or they have the stop pushed up too high on the line. Just pull out your top drawer and take a look!
Thanks for the information. I will do that when we get Freedom back.
Cant wait to see it in person. See ya in 2 weeks
Hellz yeah 👍
See ya soon!
Just got home from virginia
@@musimowingmoreinc9031 I hope your trip was enjoyable.
Congrats on the new home away from home
Thanks so much. We absolutely love it and can't wait to go camping again. We named her "Freedom"
Great, one thing about aluminum is it transfers heat, you can pick up the opposite end of a burning stick, but a piece of aluminum or steel, the unheated end will also be hot.
An awning to cover your trailer would solve your AC issue, which they should make such a thing. Maybe you should create a whole trailer awning and get rich.
So glad you found a good dealer, good dealers should be shouted from the rooftops but bad dealers should be shouted even louder, we need to put the bad ones out of business, same with manufacturers.
I was looking at these but way out of my price range, hopefully it works out for you.
We have the awning on the curb side, but in 106 degree temperatures, the only thing that works is to have 2 air conditioners. ATC definitely builds a quality trailer. We can't wait to get Freedom back. Camping season is right around the corner. Thanks for watching.
CUMMINGS! YOU MADE MY DAY😂😂😂😂
@fozzybear9114 you're welcome 🤣😂
I get on the tail end of your conversations and I get lost in the holes where rabbits run down
@@randalmartin438 😂🤣
That’s one sweet rig
We love it, Rob. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
Oh shit, it is awesome. I am sorry, i am tured from driving most of the day. Coming to you from bristol tn, headed back to arkansas.
Thanks Robert. We love it and can't wait to camp again.
Thanks man! We'll see you in Ark Kansas in a week and a half!
I'm assuming that you meant that your generator uses a gallon of gas per hour. If I'm wrong and you have a 5500 watt generator that only uses one gallon every 24 hours... I'm getting one! 😂
Thanks for pointing that out. The generator uses a gallon per hour, not per day 🤣
That gas pump is such a nice feature! Never saw that on a toy hauler before. Can the bed be used with something like motorcycles in the back or do the toys all need to be taken out?
Hank, yes the gas tank is a nice feature. It holds 35 gallons of gas. If you want to use the happy-Jack system, you will have to take the toys out.
Why is the pricing on ATC products as illusive as Sasquatch. No one has has or shares the pricing on these completely finished interior haulers. I fear the pricing is most likely double what a toy hauler cost. Would you mind sharing what these options are you chose is priced at ? I kind of feel like that is the most important part of reviewing a product.
It is all aluminum construction, which means that it will last longer than any other toy hauler out there. There is no wood, only composite materials on the inside. They are expensive, but you get what you pay for.
I wish you luck in your travels. Buying an RV was the biggest mistake I ever made. If you are on here long you will see many like me. It’s a money pit that just don’t stop.
I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. We've heard lots of stories about bad frames and how some campers are made poorly, that's why we bought this particular camper. There is no wood in this camper at all, it is all aluminum. Thanks for commenting and checking the video out.
Overall, great video. Helpful info and ideas, but you need a camera with stabilization, maybe a gimbal. Maybe it's my intoxication levels, but I almost got seasick watching. No negativity! Just some critiques
Breachman, thanks for the awesome feedback. I noticed that the camera was not stabilized. Next time, I'll use my other camera with the stabilizer on it. Thanks for watching.
Two AC's are a good idea. If your lucky, ATC might have a hot wire already in place near that vent opening. Is the trailer still 100% aluminum or part Azdel ?
I agree that 2 AC's are better. We went through the hottest part of last summer and realized we need 2. The trailer is 100% aluminum.
@@hanginwithkh2021 A large dealership in Texas puts a second AC in any RV 27 foot or longer. They got tired of customers complaining about inadequate cooling. Dealers commonly sell with only one as it's cheaper for them to buy.
@@T18skyguy our trailer is only 25 feet long. We took it back to the manufacturer because we wanted to get a couple of other things done besides the air conditioner.
Great review of your trailer . Beautiful rig … what is the total length from bumper to hitch ?
Thanks, so glad you liked the review. The total length is 33 feet.
Have you got your 2513 back from the shop yet?
We dropped it off on 23 October. Hoping to get a status update soon. Nothing yet. We expected it to take a while though. The garage modification will take a while. We're also getting a second A/C installed in the bedroom. We're in Oklahoma. We found out last year that the 106 temps were no competition for the single AC unit we opted for when we bought it. It kept things 'livable'....but we like it much cooler. This should do it!
Can I make a suggestion? Ok, thanks! Make a cool avatar, thumbnail or whatever you call it for the channel. A few times I’ve almost missed videos. I’m a visual person and I’ve luckily caught “KH” in the wording in a second or third scroll.
Any suggestions?
@@ACMEMowing Nothing that jumps to mind. I just know the queen has no insignia! It’s muted and nothing catches me to say the queen has a message. Wasn’t to long ago that a man would be accused of ignoring and get beheaded for simply not seeing or hearing her message
Ben has to do all of that because I'm not that tech savvy. Thanks so much for the advice. We still need to figure out an intro, the ending, etc. We will figure it out eventually, after Ben does the ACME videos.
@@thedirtywork😂🤣😂
Standby. Thanks to your comment I got my best guy working on a logo and a new banner for this channel! Thanks for the suggestion Dirty., Sorry I missed the podcast last night. I was in bed by 7pm CST. Old men need more sleeps.
How and what do you use for leveling your ATC? Thanks and safe , enjoyable travels!
@@roberttyminski4203 we use a regular level after we put the legs down. Thanks for watching.
We have some leveling blocks if needed. We use a manual level to verify we get it right!
So is the 100AH Lithium and 200W solar enough? Or do you find yourself charging with the genset? Can the inverter handle the microwave or do you have to run the genset?
For what we've done so far, it's enough. We have not had an overnight yet where we've depended on the solar. We haven't even run the microwave without being hooked up to 50amp. I'm not sure it's even possible. I'll test it out next trip! We're headed to the Black Hills of South Dakota in August! Cannot wait. We do plan to do some boon-docking in the future. I'm betting we will not be satisfied with our current configuration. If it turns out that we enjoy boon-docking we will most likely need to upgrade. It works great keeping all the food in our fridge fresh and cold for days while we travel.
When you run the generator does it stay on that location or so you move it?
The generator stays where it is, we don't move it.
Thank you. Wasn't sure if you would have vibration issues. We hope to be in an atc in the next few months
@@123JumpingJacks you're welcome. The generator can be started from pushing a button on the inside of the RV or you can start it from the generator. Congratulations on getting your ATC in the near future and thanks for watching.
Is the 2513 pre wired from the breaker box to the bedroom vent for an A/C unit ?
We're taking the camper back to the manufacturer for a repair so we can use our gate. At that time, we're going to have another air conditioner installed in the bedroom. We're not sure if it was pre-wired, but we will ask and comment when we get the answer. Thanks for watching our channel.
The 2513 is not pre-wired for a second air conditioner. If you want two air conditioners, you should order them when you place your order for the camper. One of the reasons we took it back to the factory is because we wanted ATC to install it and that way it would be wired into the main control panel.
thank you for the feed back. I'll be going for the 2816 now.@@hanginwithkh2021
@@mancavechronicles2139 we looked at the 2816, but went with the 2513 because we were originally going to pull it with our 2021 Toyota Tundra. Then we decided to buy a Ford F-250 because we didn't want to worry about weight issues. We're super happy with the 2513. You will be so happy you're getting an ATC camper. We love ours.
ya'll have a great channel
@@hanginwithkh2021
I'm sorry it's an Owen
Not sure what you're talking about.
What's an Owen?
@@hanginwithkh2021 well what I said was a sorry it was an Onan Google wanted to put Owen so don't blame me blame Google see I can get that and straight
@@hanginwithkh2021 sorry sometimes I don't either I just ramble leftover from earlier conversations I had from people before
