Patriot X1 how long does it really take to pack up

[@tbrosow]

great trailer but what a pain to pack up

[@chrispyscampingadventures]

Yes ! That’s why we moved on to a new setup.

[@phs84]

Not bad,
We have the kids room ( 2 kids ) as well, packing up camp including cleaning out camper and packing all our gear away is about 1 hour ish. we take the awnings down and pack in rear but the top cover could certainly take a lot more gear thinking about storing the camping chairs up there as well

Good video awnings R a pain I had a Darche on my Ranger with walls to much work & harder in the rain & wind it would B a lot better if it came with a free standing awning & then I would B interested 😎

Good vid mate, find it takes about 2.5 hours if we have a full set up (ie walls & extensions up), like for you guys its only 20-30 mins for the actual trailer, its all the other crap to pack, eg push bikes, kids beds, toys etc that takes the time. Just have to be realistic about how far we can travel. will get faster when the kids get old enough to help more

How does the awning hold up to
rain? It looks a bit flat so I wondered how it sheds the rain water. Thanks 😊

[@chrispyscampingadventures]

It does pool in the rain so i use to drop every second pole ..

Oh the joys of camping, not bad thanks

[@joshnewbon6873]

How does the x1 go with a wet tent packup? Does the bed or anything else get wet?

[@chrispyscampingadventures]

No the bed doesn’t get wet , I always at home set tent and awning back up and wash it down with fresh water to get the salt , leaves and anything else that’s on canvas.

[@joshnewbon6873]

Yeah thanks, just wondering if we get one and get stuck in the rain is all.

[@chrispyscampingadventures]

@@joshnewbon6873 if it’s raining we just pack it up as normal. The bed area stays dry always. When we get home we unpack it every time and wash it down and let it dry and pack it up then.

[@joshnewbon6873]

@@chrispyscampingadventures cool thanks for the info

[@pbsmick]

Hey you should know that from 04:11 two shifty looking blokes were pinching your stuff lol

[@chrispyscampingadventures]

[@chrispyscampingadventures]

@J M haha no that’s my dad and Uncle Johnnie.

[@CalvinCarrGarland]

Great vid. I just took ownership of a 2017 X1GT in the states. I'm curious, where did you get the lights for the awning? I'm having a hard time finding them.

[@chrispyscampingadventures]

The awning lights are from www.hardkorr.com and www.snowys.com.au sell hardkorr led lights as well.
