Hey! Thanks for the comment. No, we actually only sell direct to consumers. Email us at admin@arktocampers.com and we can arrange for one of our customers to show you their trailer. Thanks.

@@arktocampers Thank You

Haha. We do indeed have our limitations. :)

Hey Tyler! Thanks for the comment and the chat at the show! We now sell direct to consumers!

Yep. We realized that. Max 30 amp of charging. So, we offer a separate Victron MPPT controller for those that would like to do the DCDC/Roof solar combo.

@@arktocampers Could also add a Redarc DCDC1240/50

@@KB-jy5hr Indeed. We were, but the Victron provided a more economical price point for the customer, and it's more compact to fit in our small space. And of course, the Victron is no slouch. Pros and cons.

Hahahaha. Great comment. Even better method, that I figured out, is to fold up the forward/right side straight up, not up and to the right. It alleviates a bit of tension on that forward velcro strap.

@arktocampers oh man I could kiss you right now if I liked dudes 🤣

There are plenty out there. They just don't roll back through RUclips videos to leave them.

@@arktocampers Odd they don't do that. I did find one (finally), but it was not a review per se, more like a vid of their trip in your trailer.

@@RevolutionRoad Yep. There are a few reviews on Google and a couple forums.

No, I don't believe so. My twin I suppose. lol

@@arktocampers LOL. The guy looked like you and had a very similar brand new trailer he was breaking in with the wife and three daughters plus friends. It was my first trip out with my trailer and we compared notes over a beer in between campsites.

@@erickaesman4001 Ah yeah. Definitely not me. lol.

Hopefully it works out for you! I started using a slight modification to the 'fold up' technique. And that's when folding up the forward/right side, instead of going up and to the right, just fold straight up on that side, and then continue up and left on the left side. The result is that the fabric isn't at its thickest right under the strap, it's thickest just to the left of the strap, making it slightly easier to tighten that first strap. Good luck!

@@arktocampers I just got back from storage and tried it this way. 100 times better. However, the black receiving strap on the right was just not long enough. Besides the 3" straps i use on the outside of the bag, I use a 1" strap in the hole/opening for the receiving strap. I use my 1" straps to take up the tension , THEN attempt the receiving strap. Next trip out Ill try the folding method instead of the roll to the outside method.

Hey! Unfortunately, no. But we'll be at the PNW event in Oregon!

not for the avage person

Nope. It certainly is not.

You bet. Very expensive to build too. And since we don't assemble in China, like a few of our competitors, labour is not cheap either. These overlanding trailers are certainly not your Jayco type products assembled with staples. ;) Quality comes with a price.

all good built to last

Meh, moderately heavier. Maybe an additional 60lbs. But for a chassis of a trailer, there are no other options that offer better rust proofing. Same reason all the Aussie trailers have it. And no, aluminum frames are not the answer for overlanding applications. Naturally, I cannot speak to your personal experiences, or the quality of the galvanizing done to your steel. Zinc just doesn't rust.

We try!

lol. They can be locked in position at 15 degree increments. The ground in that particular corner was pretty high, so the leg couldn't be locked in a vertical position. The 15 degree position had to do.

Yep, very new. We did the first trailers in March, right after yours. Redarc is a much larger company, with better support, and continuing improvements to their hardware. Just something we wanted to align with as we grew as a company.

Thank you!

Thank you!

They are our custom brackets for our trailer.

Ok great. Thanks for letting us know you’ll pass. Was beginning to wonder.

Thanks! Unfortunately, no. There are 3 windows in the trailer currently. 2 in the pop top roof canvas, and 1 on the sidewall. Plus the window on the entry door. Plenty of light for a small space like this. The windows on the canvas zip open, so airflow is not an issue at all. Feel free to reach out to us with any other questions.

Thanks!

Been fine so far! Naturally, you take a hit on fuel efficiency, but it's been doing fine so far!

You're very welcome! Glad it worked out for you.

Hey Steve. Thanks for the comment. We primarily sell direct to customers across North America. Operational temp range of the Redarc system? For charging: -25c to +60c. Depends on which batteries are in the system.

I forgot to ask, did the refrigerator keep your food from freezing? Thanks!

Hey! Appreciate the comment. Thanks. Heated tank: Depends how aggressively the temps drop below freezing. But the pick up line that runs straight up to the water pump could freeze pretty easily, since it has such a small volume of water to freeze in the pex pipe. Batteries: just depends how many amps your using up. They function the same, but of course, the demand for power is higher in the colder weather. Especially with the heated water tank running 24/7. The lithiums are heated, so you can get away with charging them below freezing. This also all plays into the solar on the roof. In the case of that one trip, I had minimal sun exposure, and the solar would most definitely not recharged me fully from that amount of power useage. Yeah, I'll definitely have to do another video with the walls. Standby!

@@jbud1977 I wasn't out long enough to notice. Since the fridge technically sits on the interior of the trailer and I had the furnace running, I'm guessing the food had a hard time freezing.

Hey! Thanks. It's a pretty killer setup now!

Hey Matt. Thanks for the comment. It's my 3rd unit actually! haha. Yeah, certainly some 'give and take' in designing this unit. And we opted to focus on storage and outdoor living, versus the indoor kitchen thing. As of today, unfortunately, we don't have plans for a new model. Thanks for the compliments! Take care Matt.

Haha. Someone I know told me about it ;)

Good eye! Yep, a couple revisions/updates on the trailer. We'll do a 2024 overview video shortly. I'll mention all these items then.

Hey Robert! Thanks! After leveling the trailer, setup with one hand: 5 minutes. :) I'm excited for you two!

Hey! Funny you say that, I'm just editing a video now. Standby!

Haha, yeah, when it bunches in the middle it's a real pain. Happy that it helped you out!

Oh yeah? Appreciate that. Thank you. You're more than welcome to reach out to us with any questions you may have. admin@arktocampers.com. Or feel free to give us a shout.

Hahaha. Maybe!

You're very welcome! Glad it helped a bit.

Happy it helped out!

Hey Ernesto. About 70lbs.

It's possible, if you have an 8 foot garage. Give us a shout, or email us, and we'll be happy to chat and answer questions. admin@arktocampers.com - 780-722-3822. Take care!

Well, since you’re in town, come on over and see one!

Sounds good! Let us know when you'd like to place your deposit for a build! ☺

Thank you Greg! Well, there sorta is. lol. Outside shower with enclosure, and the included portable toilet (which is usable inside and outside).

Hey! The height of the roof closed (to the top of the roof fan) is 93”. So technically it fits in an 8 foot garage.
