I appreciate the price point while maintaining top tier construction. I think stand-on fenders would be a nice option for a camper of this height when equipped with a roof rack.
Stand-on fenders would have been a major plus. With a strong stand-on fender, Bean would have forced me to buy a Beanstalk 2.0. Guess I'll wait for the Beanstalk 3.0.
This is an exciting announcement. I cannot justify $25k plus for a teardrop trailer. However, I can justify $20k or less. I have never used one but look forward to an Outdoorsy rental experience sooner than later. I do not need much. A comfortable bed, insulated cabin, a trailer hitch for my bikes and some storage space. I know you guys have listened to customer feedback and that is very valuable to me. Thanks for sharing.
Great video and exciting trailer, I wish there was a walk thru though that simply highlighted the base model without all the teases on the options to add. Every video I’ve been able to find has a title highlighting the low starting price but is then filled showing all the optional accessories.
I have looked on your website at these. I think it would be nice to have the big window on the driver’s side and the door with a smaller window on the passenger’s side for a total of 3 windows.
Could you make a half size mattress for those of us who are solo campers? And could you make the Yeti power station optional for those of us who already have a decent power station solution? Maybe just one cut out hole in the side mounted table, which looks really nice by the way. The windows look great too.
Looks great!! I'm looking to buy in the next couple of months. You guys are right up there. Narrowing it down, I am looking at Bean vs Oregon for higher quality and Hiker vs Runaway for lower priced trailers. The funny thing is, the more I look the more confused I get!!!! Just today, someone brought TC Trailers to me......IF I had hair, I think I would be ripping it out!!!!!
Morning Sir.. Here's two questions for you.. I was wondering as we discussed the fenders, as this applies maybe only to me.. Why would I want "Stand On Fenders"? I have a Gorilla 4 step ladder, so I bring it with. Yeah I know, it's one more thing I wouldn't have to bring, but it was $35.00 and I'm not adding anything to the trailers top, so... I also like the "Xtra Table Package" that way your getting the Discada away from the trailer and at the end of the table system.. AND as you mentioned, your view just got better!! As for a safety measure, I wouldn't put anything on the rear hitch unless Bean made it a "frame-through" tube!! If used whether for gear or bikes, it will brake and fall off over time from stress of vibration. I'd rather them extend the platform for bikes or etc. and or make the tongue a bit longer for a "Jack-It" bike rack. Q/? 2: Are you able to take the new awning and move it from Right to Left as you might want? I must say as cool as it is and easy to use, I can come up with a cheaper solution.. God Bless... Hoobilly
This is awesome, all I need is overflow sleeping for my old cabin & I’ve been watching Bean for a while. Don’t need a kitchen or bathroom. But, the kid/dog bunk no longer available?
I'm not sure I'm a camper person yet, but I have been doing my homework. So far, my shortlist include Bean (model to be determined), Vistabule, Timberleaf Pika and Venturist XS. I'm what you would describe as a minimalist camper as some of my camping was done while motorcycling. The style of camping that appeals to me right now include the use of an iKamper Skycamp 3.0 mini on either an Outback or 4Runner. That's why the Bean Stock 2.0 (no RTT needed but still a minimal rig), and the Venturist XS (RTT w/plenty of storage that doesn't ding my tow car payload) appeal to me. As for the galley, I'm in the minority here because I prefer not to have one. I prefer to cook away from sleeping area for a few reasons, such as grease, food debris, cooking odors and bears. Moreover, if you're outside, why be tethered to your trailer? Enjoy the entirety of the open space/view around you! If I could build my dream trailer, it would have the interior/exterior aesthetics of Vistabule (such a beautiful place to be) and the one-piece design of Bean. My check would be in Mark's hand right now! *Bean - Fix that design issue at the rear of the interior cabin (would like to see your standard bunk-bed solution added), get the as-shown here price to $19,500, and you've got yourself a new customer! Oh, and the website needs to addressed too. The thumbnails don't work and I'd like to see an overall better online experience. Thanks and keep up the good work!
@ab2abblank607 on the production unit (blue) we made the shelf larger and could accommodate a child. We will be offering the children's bunk that you see on our other models on this one as well. Stay tuned!
@@cinner-binner - Sound great. I look forward to seeing it. Hate I missed the boat on the Bean Stock 1.0. That was special. Would take the 1.0 with a window, birch trim, slide out interior drawers, and without the galley in a heartbeat! Sigh... Anyway, thanks!
I'm impressed, it's very well thought out. I love the outdoor kitchen. This is a great addition to the family, but a little too late for me. All the existing Beans, were knocked off my list because of their weight and price. This new design is great, but I ordered a squaredrop last October. I'm still a Bean fan though.
We do not offer renting in house but some Bean owners rent their trailers on sites like Outdoorsy: Check it out! :) beantrailer.com/bean-trailer-rentals/
Kitchen seems a bit excessive setup and teardown. Can you buy this trailer without any kitchen at all and save some money? Also will these sleep me my wife and two kids (4/12)?
As someone who has spent a lot of time in tents, this is definitely not the same thing! This is a comfortable refined cabin. Tents are loud, hot and uncomfortable.
There should not be so many options. They should be standard equipment except for trivial items readily and economically substituted. That would be truthful and not like offering a car with no wheels or engine.
The hook is...."starts at $15,999". If you want to add anything you're probably looking at $20K, at least. Mr. BEAN, when you mention add ons, give the price for god's sake.
What options do you value? There is a bunch to configure it with as little or as much as you want. If you have all your own camping gear and want to stay way below $20K, do that. If you want to load it up, the average is about $22K. "The hook" is that you get Bean quality, a one piece fiberglass shell, composite walls/floor, quality components, an off road worthy frame and suspension for $16K. You cant get that anywhere else. Signed, Mr. Bean
Ran the pricing configurator and the trailer in this video is $25,391. Without the almost $10k in Upgrades shown, it basically becomes a hard-sided tent on wheels (for $16,000) with one access door (back to the old climb-over for couples), no cook space, no cooler/frig capacity, no outside covered areas, no heat, very little electrical capacity and no propane capacity. So marketing the trailer in this video as some sort of innovative game-changing budget camper is pretty misleading. It is a stripped down version of their other campers which gets you in the door at $16k and then requires you to buy back all of the items you see in this video to make it even a remotely self-contained, fully-featured camping trailer (still no cooktop or dedicated kitchen storage.) I'm guessing that people's gut assessment of the value of this camper would be different if they showed a Bean Stock 2.0 without: Underframe Table Package ($995), Shelf Mounted Table ($495), Discada ($499), Iceco frig ($859), 2 LP tanks ($590), Front Cubby ($795 Upgrade), Key Holder & Cup Holder Package ($50 Upgrade), Rear Storage Accent Lighting ($175 Upgrade), Driver's Side Door & Artic Tern Window ($1500 Upgrade) Roof Rack with Low Profile Crossbars, ($795 Upgrade), 23Zero Peregrine 180 Degree Awning ($799 Upgrade) Alubox Pro 157 ($595 Upgrade), Spare Tire & Mount ($395 Upgrade) Goal Zero Yeti 1500x 2000 Watt Power Station ($850 Upgrade)
This trailer is not for everyone. Those who value cheap RV grade components, plywood and aluminum skin trailers with flimsy frames and suspension, have lots of other options out there in the market. This is for people who value a one piece fiberglass shell, composite walls/floor, an off road worthy frame and suspension and Bean quality and fit and finish. A lot of our prospective customers have their own camping stuff and wanted a Bean at a lower price. That is who this is for. They can get as much or as little of those options as they want. Plus there are cheaper option available for awnings, frigs, box, etc. At the end of the day, our Stock 2.0 customers will have the most durable, refined and capable trailer on the market for the money. You cant get a trailer with that construction and those options you listed for that price and that is a fact.
Yeah, you caught us! We listened to our customers and keep our base price low for customers that just want a quality build but have all their own gear. We made affordable options available that will give you a nice build for less than $20K. You guys are some amazing Sherlock Holmes! @@Lex-Rex

Bean Stock 2.0 starts at $16k, averages about $22k and can go as high $30k depending on options. Is that clear enough for you? @@Lex-Rex
We understand everyone has different goals when they purchase a camper. Our top priority is to never compromise quality, and quality always costs a little more.
It is all about what you value. Bean values interior space, composite walls and a one piece fiberglass shell for durability. If by nicer you mean stained plywood interior walls, and a thin aluminum skin screwed and glued together covered by an aluminum trim piece then yes, they are cozy. May be you can make the Bean more cozy with some needlepoint pillows with a cute trailer stitched into it and a doormat that says "Welcome"
@@mark-di5pf I go back and forth on the love and attraction to a well crafted wood trailer (your cautions correct and noted). A well made one (High Camp comes to mind) would hold up reasonably well with care. But this Bean Stock 2.0 really has me thinking. The price is really good. The interior space is just so nice. And while I first saw the lack of a galley and thought "Hell no!" your cook table solution is really well thought out and makes for a very reasonable option. Going to check you guys out in Austin in April. (But alas, looks like you're only schedule to bring a Black Bean to that show :( Bring out a Bean Stock 2.0 if at all possible!

The options you see in this video will bring the total to about $25k. Almost everything is an option except for the base structure.
@@CatNash007 - True. I priced one out and it came to $22K.
Just echoing what everyone said on price. The options can definitely push the price up. I price one out and mine came to around $22k as well.
That is a absolute rip off. You guys are crazy if you paying that.
@@SGTSLACKASS I agree it is expensive. What alternatives would you recommend?
Great video and exciting trailer, I wish there was a walk thru though that simply highlighted the base model without all the teases on the options to add. Every video I’ve been able to find has a title highlighting the low starting price but is then filled showing all the optional accessories.
You all are moving in a great direction! Thanks for making this more accessible to a wider variety of consumers!
We're excited to open the doors, without compromising quality of course :)
If you can make a slide out bunk for a kid where that shelf is I would absolutely buy one.
the revised back shelf is a perfect bunk with the back cushions. We are also testing our existing bunk it the new trailer. Stay tuned!
Good deal. The larger the bunk the better!@@mark-di5pf
I saw one with that on RUclips channel "Playing with Sticks" The kids loved it!!!

Lots of options. 🤔I want Drew as an option to come with the trailer! HOTTIE!!!
I'll put in a good word ;)
I wish the kitchen portions were standard. That cost adds up quick
Drew - can you explain how you secure the ICECO from vandals
The Iceco APL 55 is secured to the rack and the fridge is lockable.
Can you add the floor opening to have table seating inside? Love the simpler design and no galley.
Excellent presentation consise thoughts well spoken
This is awesome, all I need is overflow sleeping for my old cabin & I’ve been watching Bean for a while. Don’t need a kitchen or bathroom. But, the kid/dog bunk no longer available?

Absolute game changer. Great design. Definitely a future buyer of this trailer.
Is there an option for an air conditioner? I live in South Texas 🥵
Yeah sure. Okay sir that will be an extra 10k.😆
Love this trailer set up with the options and being more affordable
Love this unit. Keep coming hack to watch. Only wish the transportation fee wasn't so high with the third parties.
Nice quality presentation.
Drew is the best in the game :)
Can you purchase the discotta rack and mount separate?
Why limit certain options to your various trailer models?
would be nice if it was wider, wide as wheel tracks.

I too have a squaredrop. When I look at the Bean videos it gets me considering one.
Ever thought of a….. Bean Winter teardrop? Inside cooking.
We have an amazing model we're planning to release at Overland Expo MTN West this year!

What’s the least expense model with a cassette toilet?

A shoe box.
Is there an option to rent them for a period of time??
We do not offer renting in house but some Bean owners rent their trailers on sites like Outdoorsy:
Check it out! :)
beantrailer.com/bean-trailer-rentals/
Is there an electrical outlet, that is connected to the Goal Zero power source, at the front of the camper to power the fridge? Thanks
yes
will a residential queen mattress (10 inch thick) fit in any of the Beans?
Brilliant!!!
Thanks John!
I noticed what looked like a heater in one of your posted pictures, what do you recommend for winter camping in this? Propane or Electric etc.
Looks awesome
removing the galley was a smart idea. I'd rather have an AC where that rear window is though.
Love it!
Would the inside table option work in this model?
no floor storage so no inside table.
Is it insulated?
How much can the rear hitch haul?
200 lbs
Unfortunately it still prices out around $26k once you’re ready to go.
Does this have A/C?
The portable Ecoflow is an awesome option! :)
Where can I find this bean trailer?
We sell factory-direct in Salt Lake City, Utah. Give us a call :)
