We love how light and portable our trailer is. Spend more time exploring or relaxing then setting up the trailer and all the gear that goes along with the bigger rigs.
Hey M & W, here's a request: how about an episode talking about how a Hiker holds up a year later, two years, five years later.... thanks for considering it!!!
Yeah - we're downsizing from an F250 Diesel pulling an Airstream. All I hear as I shop the small trailers is that the wooden walls either rot out out or shake apart. I priced a Bean and with the options we wanted it jumped up to $39,000.00 For a Teardrop???!!! So then the question is: How is a HIker after a few years of use?
@@dalekarraker6851 Ours is still as solid as the day we bought it. We have used it for 3 camping seasons so far, going into our 4th. They recommend checking the seals every year, which we have and have not needed to reseal anything. We have been in some big rain storms and haven't had any leaks. They used to offer a front window, but then started having some leaking issues with that, so are no longer offering the front window.
Can anyone help me with installing that shelf mentioned at the 2:50 mark? We wanted to get it but didn't think it would work well with our dog since she sleeps at the foot of our bed. But she passed away before we got our trailer so now there is room for it. I ain't good with woodwork but trying to learn.
If you are not good at woodworking I would try and reach out to a friend or handy man to help. Have a lip installed prevents things from rolling off and a brace in the middle will support more weight. This is not needed if you plan to just have clothes. You have to be careful not to drill through the side of your trailer with the length of screws.
@@MWDAdventures thanks Matt. I went and looked at how they did the shelves in the galley and have a better idea of how I want to approach it now. Appreciate you getting back to me.
We have it fully outfitted and ready to rent for the 2022 season. If you or someone you know would like to rent it, go to: MWDAdventures.com/rental for more information.
We like seeing the different mods that people do. Nice job with the camper and the video!
I love these walk arounds. My hope is to get either a Hiker or Runaway in a couple yrs when it's just the wife and I.

Another Great Video !!
Thanks for the video! Do you know for max coupler, what dolly/took can be used to move the trailer around when not hooked with the vehicle?

Great idea. We have had ours 3 years but I could find owners at the 5 year marker. The overall company is young.

Thank you for the video! Do you know for max coupler, what dolly/tool can be used to move the trailer around without the vehicle?
We don't have a max coupler, so have not had to come up with a solution for that, sorry

I would like to see a set up start to finish
When you say setup start to finish - the trailer being built or the trailer being set up at camp?
@@MWDAdventures what you need to do to make a comfy safe campsite
T-minus 3 months until we are in our Hiker Trailer.
