Take it from someone who lived in a camper for three years while building a house, build a roof over that camper! And the mice will chew all the wires up so make sure it’s sealed up like Ft Knox.
WOW !! I've seen some scary stuff, Andrew - but I think moving that trailer up that mountain takes the cake, Buddy !! I've seen you take some risks, but that one beats them ALL !! Whew !!
I was waiting for the bumper to come off and everything rolling back down and over the hill. Then to make things worst it starts to Rain. Great Job Andrew to you and your Buddy.
I miss Jake... my Yellow Lab that use to follow/lead me in my TJ as I wheeled around much of west (Nor. Cal, CO, Utah etc.) Your dog reminded me of him as I watched this.
23:00 Those Jacks are intended as stabilizers only. Level side to side at the wheels. Level front to back at the tongue. Stabilize at the corners. Do not take the weight off the wheels or you will bend the frame of the trailer. That's why the slide won't go out. Also do not externally support the slide outs. It will damage the mechanisms.
@@edbenson98 From (5:30 - 9:00) i really thought they will completely rip-out the poor Dodge front bumper while strap-towing it with that big-dozer.. ;0)
Same should hold true for the front end of that poor pickup truck. Should have just put a trailer ball on the D4, and done... But, that wouldn't have made a fun video, I guess.
Well, respect to Andrew for what he does but RV's aren't made robust enough for him I don't think. Using a jack-all to force the slides out, he's lucky he didn't put a hole through something. RV's are built light for a reason.
seriously…I understand the desire to make these things light, but they are make of wood that has the qualities of cardboard and pretty much designed to be more disposable than automobiles.
Great video Andrew. I would love to have a place like that. However, being a long time RV owner, you're in for a world of problems if you just leave it without a lot of work to protect it and seal it.
@@lonestar227 yes, prob a probably twisted or who knows what... but like he said, that's out forever.. he just set it and forget it. Someday that trailer will be a hollowed out shell succumbed to the weather and environment to rot there forever... but until then hopefully it's a lot of fun and memories.
Great job getting it up there … I’m in a 318 site campground Pull outs tend to leak !!!! Also with snow on those pullouts u better put legs under the corners …. FYI. Have fun !!!!! Thanks I enjoyed watching you Rob
@ ANDREW: You mentioned the slide being out for life. If you really want this camper to last for many years to come without rotting into the ground, build a large carport over it so rain can never get to the roof or the roof of the slide outs... Rain and snow are the WORST POSSIBLE things to happen to all campers... The sliders are particularly vulnerable. Water getting to anything in these bassards are almost as big of a threat as is fire.. I live in Florida and see constant campers with completely fahked interiors due to roof leaks... Then the ants get going on their feast and you are left with a pile of very expensive crap.... Trust me, build a carport over it and make it big enough to cover about 4 feet beyond all sides.. My buddy had one for decades without any roof issues and it also gave the benefit of shade in the hot months. He said his electric bill dropped by almost 75%.. He also built one with plenty overhang on the front for a large porch..
Never mind. As soon as a few things break down he'll drive over it with a bulldozer and put the scraps in a container. We have all see him doing stuff like that...
AC wants fireproof buildings so I would think steel framework with a steel roof. I want to see that video hauling the steel up the mountain. He’s got all the tools to build a road decent enough to not get mud bogged. Plenty of free bluestone and shale in that area.
Get on the roof and re-chaulk all the seams with Dicor lap sealant, I've owned RV's for a couple of decades now and the best way to keep out water is to regularly check the roof and window seals, small water leaks are never detected until dry rot has set in. Have fun with your new rig!
The stabilizing feet are just to stabilize the trailer. They are not meant to lift or level or support anything. You risk twisting the camper and breaking things. Level the trailer first. Then use the stabilizers to stabilize.
Aaron Anderson: That WAS a nice camper, I just don’t understand why the spare tire was put back on? That camper will NEVER come back off that mountain!!
Me first thinking " towing a camper up a mountain", borrring, second thought, it's a adventure when A.C brushes his teeth in the morning. Content: nearly totals his truck, needs two dozers and his buddy has a nervous breakdown. PRICELESS! Love you Bro.
I was going to comment,but you're thinking the exact same way as me,Towing a camper up a mountain............What could go wrong.Andrew. hold my beer...............
My only thing was IF the bumper had came off the truck all of that camper and truck would have turned into landscape material by time it got to the bottom
Suggestion: if that trailer is staying up there then this spring invest in like 5 gallons of a roof sealant like Tropi-Cool. Like you said in the previous video, the most important thing is the roof and with these RV trailers once they start leaking it's a nightmare.
Used to live in a 35 footer and if you don't seal the roof properly they leak and everything goes to shit, cause they are not built strong. after sealer, might want to consider building a permanent roof over the entire trailer to help protect the roof, also if your gonna keep the sliders out best to also put some blocks under them as well, to keep them more stabilized also.
You can visibly see the sag in the middle and slight buckling in the cladding; I suspect that's why the pop-out was binding. They're built to have the weight on the axels at all times and the entire structure is built around the chassis sagging either side of this. If you don't have the wheels supported, with added snow load you could actually do some very serious damage to all part of the structure inside and out. I build this sort of stuff for a living and see a few totalled by stuff like this every year.
Also, leaving them out all the time is sketchy. The roofing needs to be carefully monitored and maintained. If these aren’t moving in and out, ever, perhaps a permanent exoskeleton and roof, out of… oh I dunno… steel maybe 😂
The first half is so hard to watch. Just waiting for disaster. The second half I learned that Andrew needs to keep this guy with him at all times. Somebody to keep him in check from going spastic and destroying everything :-)
Andrew: Consider putting a roof over the camper next summer. The first thing to go is the roof and they are expensive to repair or replace. You want to keep the weather, leaves and branches off of it and it will last a long time. Great video, again. You sure didn’t need the rain when doing the dirt work.
While the obvious practical choice was to put a ball on the little dozer and pull the trailer up, you made the correct content choice to use the dozer to pull on the flimsy bumper hooked to a rattle trap truck hooked to the camper on a steep mountain road. 👌 The only correct channel choice.
It seems like excluding the truck from the equation would have been the way to go, just rig a towbar directly from the trailer to the dozer. It takes a little basic fabrication, but I pull trailers with my track loader all the time.
I can just imagine the look of horror on the old owners face watching his pride and joy being off roaded to its final resting place. I'm guessing the armor all shine on the tires is gone.
@@markw2266 Or the way he leveled it. Yikes those where stabalizer jacks not leveling jacks. He probably tweeked the frame leveling it that way hence why one of the slides got screwed up. That or it bounced out of alignment being dragged up that hill. Ouch.
@@loganholmberg2295 At 14:54 , the left rear of the camper catches a tree while turning, same side as the broken slideout, which might have been part of the problem with the slideout jamming.
First time I've actually sat on the edge of my chair watching Camarata. Pulling that truck and trailor up the mountain was kinda like a suspenseful thriller movie! : ) Enjoyed!
you should come watch me try to build a driveway with a skid steer in my 10 foot drop of a "yard" off the side of a roadbed. nearly flipped it about a dozen times.
What about the poor fellow in the cab of the truck? His heart had to have skipped a couple of beats when Camarata let some of the cable out and nearly snatched the bumper off> LoL
Greetings: Please tell me how I am wrong in suggesting that you route the dozer winch cable down and through the lower tow connector near the bottom of the dozer instead of directly off of the winch cable supply to reduce the cable's pull angle that is raising the truck bumper. I would also consider using that same tree that held the truck while you dozed the turn wider, to also anchor the cable with a pulley until you can establish a usable cable path around the turn. Assuming that turn will remain a part of the uphill path for a while, I would consider using your post-hole digging tools to install a strong pole to use in future heavily loaded uphill pulls. I watched you clear a wide swath to widen the turn, but I did not see the obstruction keeping you from reducing the angle of the turn other right side of the road (rocks maybe).
Love your videos Andrew, you are the embodiment of doing what you can with what you have. HOWEVER, I notice a theme to you, when things start going south you blame the equipment or item. Your towing situation is because you're doing something that was never intended to be used in that manner, and you are taking it to an extreme! Do I agree that things should be engineered better absolutely but you gotta start using that big brain of yours, cause you have shown us you have it!!! Great video to start Monday off with!!! Loved your side by side one as well!!! Keep them coming!!
Love his videos but he really does put himself in some stupid situations that are completely avoidable We obviously all do stupid shit before we learn a lesson, unfortunately Andrews job often involves them being filmed
As @Dale Adkins eluded to; 'snow proofing' & 'mice proofing' might be a priority. During the time you not there, the snow will be building up on those side outs and the mice will love their new home! When you are there you'll be busy fix'n mice damage, shoveling off the roof, and potential snow & water leak damage, chewing into valuable sledding time. With that said, your Ambition is Amazing! What an awesome spot and idea! Cheers Andrew! Thanks for sharing!
Was thinking the same but thinking of the Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane ... lift capacity 20,000 lbs. .... but damn they're expensive to rent ($1.5 million for 12 weeks) and $30-40 million new.
One golden rule for long loads, a large radius is needed to go around bends .. next time use a Snatchblock , attach it to the dozer tow bar with a shackle route the winch wire around the block, that will lower the angle of your wire to pulling instead of pulling and lifting at the same time.. I run a D10 & 11
@@AndrewCamarata I ws talking about the vertical angle. You lift the pulling car's front, reduce steering capability and add strain to the front. The force is less bringing the rig forward but lift the pulling car.
@@AndrewCamarata Yes Andrew, it’s one of those, how much kit to carry around all the time, it’s a real bummer, well you got it done in the end, a superb trailer, you’ll be spending a few boozy nights in that with your friends, hope your truck is not too badly damaged …stay safe 👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧🇬🇧
I'm no expert but wouldn't it have been easier (especially for the pickup) to connect camper to small bulldozer and use both to go up? Looking forward to next video fixing pickup.
Not sure if there's room but couldn't you just put a ball on the dozers hitch? Then chain /rope some old tires onto the blade if the pickup needs pushing
I’ve watched this young man from the first few months he started posting and I tell you he was born to be a CAT skinner. He can make it look easy with that D7.
Man that was hard work - I was straining in my chair with the effort of trying to help get up that hill lol. Andrew’s truck is a couple feet longer after that.
Andrew, maybe you want to consider making a "converter dolly" that allows you to pull a trailer with a ball, 5th wheel or gooseneck with a a piece of heavy equipment without sacrificing a pickup
@@legohead6 no they weren't locked up lol. they were just rolling back. he held the brakes for a second and then visibly let them go again and finished destroying the front end. he also got out with it just idling in neutral later on and it started rolling away just as he got back in. I live in BC Canada and have worked in logging for 10 years. That isn't a "mountain", its a decently wet hilland theres a dozer hooked up😂. if the dodge transfer case grenaded at the bottom of the hill than it makes some sense why he's not just chewing at all with just the rear end, but still either a pretty bunk driver or intentional "content" creation.
@@SWEETSIDER Wide angle cameras do not show inclines very well. There were some moments the dozer was having issues going up without towing the truck/camper. If Andrew says it's steep I believe him.
@@NathanielHatley I own wide angle lens cameras. They don’t lie that much😂. only time the dozer “had trouble” going up was when he was turning and letting one truck chew…. Do you run equipment?? Or just tell people who do how equipment works?? I’ve taken a d4 up a hill so steep you have to turn around and run the blade on the ground so you don’t roll over backwards…. If the 4 was powering out and had a pretty tired engine that’s believable….. but I’ve pulled a loaded off highway logging truck that weighed 90,000 lbs with twisted off driveshaft with a d7 that’s about the same age as that one, it’s not struggling pulling a pickup and bumper pull trailer man🤦🏻♂️. It’s being played up a lot in this video.
Those are stabilizing jacks not lifting jacks. They were never designed or meant to take the weight of the RV. They are just for keeping it from rocking once you have it level. Here's how to level a pull behind travel trailer like your have. 1. Level side to side using blocks under your wheels. 2. Level front to rear with your tongue jack. 3 put down your stabilizer arms. 4 open your slide. You could not get the slide out because you had your entire rig in a big ole bind. Also if you expect that camper to last more than a few years in the snow, you need to build a shelter over it to keep it out of the snow.
looking forward to the repairing frame damage on a dodge pickup video. I would consider putting a roof over the trailer, they won't last as long with the snow load on them constantly
If Andrew thinks modern vehicles are built to a poor standard wait till he experiences modern rv build quality. Impressive undertaking getting that beast up there.
That camper is crazy big with opposing slide outs! Camarata, for all the hard work and determination you have I cant think of a more deserving person than you! You can't take anything with you when you leave this world so ya better enjoy it while your here! Cool video and you got cool friends that'll let you drag them up a mountain! Your all freakin' crazy but so am I, I would have been right in the middle of it with you guys! Be Good or Good at it!!!
When you watch enough of these video's, you know that Andrew will get the job done. Someone will hate on this video without watching his video about every vehicle he has ever owned, which show's how far back he has been re engineering machinery, which was young. I love this channel.
its great to watch him build stuff but this was a bit dumb tbh. why not just build an adapter to hitch the trailer to the bulldozer? far less weight to tow and less things to go wrong. or am i missing something?
@@Genesis23OPB Andrew exposes garbage vehicles of the modern era. Vehicles were built durable in the past, when people wouldn't purchase garbage from factories. Now it's planned obsolescence. Planned obsolescence disposable garbage is what Andrew exposes.
@@unchained20000000 ever thought about that it was his own fault? you would never fix a chain to the winch the way he did, thats common sense. and planed obsolesence is correct in a way, but does not apply here when andrew made the choice by himself to needlessly hitch the pickup between trailer and bulldozer. especially when he obviously didnt need the pickup to place the camper, as he positioned it with the small digger.
A notice of a new AC video is always the best part of my day!! My first though was to reinforce the heck out of the camper tongue and convert it to the same pintle type hitch you use on your equipment trailers. Then install the same mating hitch on the D7 and connect direct... eliminating the weak link which was the Stretch Armstrong pickup. I kept waiting for the hitch to fail and have a Runaway replay like the crane!! Your way was Far More entertaining!!!! 👍👍👍
My thoughts exactly on the hitch. But since it was nice to be able to clear with the D7, I say he should have had the other dozer hooked to the camper instead of the truck. Then you've got a solid frame for the camper's "tow vehicle". I cringed the first time that the winch freewheeled downhill 2 feet and nearly took the bumper off.
Andrew got it done but for those who want to learn, rv's you level them side to side by putting stuff under the wheels then level front to back with the hitch jack. all other jacks are for stabilizing not leveling.
Amazing start to my week, thanks Andrew. Loved when Cody was lab inspecting laid down on the sofa whilst you two sweating it out pushing that compartment out. This video really shows how stubborn to get something done you are. wonderful work ethic!
Great score!! I thought that thing was gonna yard sale down the hill when that bumper started going. If you want it to last, step one is to take your post hole digger up there and build a pole shed roof over it. Step two is stuff it with rodent control. Don't forget to winterize it.
Yeah, rodent control is one thing. Not sure if I had gone with putting it completely under a roof, although that makes sense for sure as it eliminates the load of the snow in winter and keeps away some heat in the summer. But I would recommend putting something on top of the slide outs for sure, as those things are not unlikely to start leaking at some point.
@@alexanderkupke920 One universal guarantee on campers is that the roofs will leak. Usually after extreme roads like pulling it up a mountain where the unit itself is under stress causing all the seams to flex or winter snow weight and ice dams. He probably spent a good chunk of change on that camper. Putting a $5k roof over it with nice over hang for sled parking and dry storage/deck area and to completely eliminate roof leaking possibility is a wise investment. I just hope he did his research and this model is a true four season with better insulation since winter use seems to be intended purpose. Otherwise it's gonna be a wall sweating ice box.
When the construction company i worked for years ago had to get office trailers up onto a mountain before a good road was built the had a tow bar that hooked to the back of 2 of the dozers and they would just pull the trailer up and set it- made it 99% easier
That's the closest I've seen to Andrew getting panicked. Great job with being so creative. It might have been easier to just build a log cabin out of the trees in the area.
Another great vid Mr Andrew also you've made a nice collection of equipment I remember the old days the one excavator skid steer track loader an little dozer an can't forget the orange beast
Hello sorry for the bad google translation always great videos. But be careful with the dog because he is always between two maneuvers with your gear it would be a shame to lose this pretty dog good luck Hello from France
Absolutely gorgeous views man! Also, after watching your videos for years I think that’s the most “frustrated” I think I’ve ever seen you get lol nail biter ride up and that camper is nicer than my apartment!
It always amazes me the effort someone will go to just to have a place away from the homebase even though the homebase is in a setting most people would characterize as a remote wooded area. Not criticizing his decision!
Next time u pull with a winch like that, run the line around the truck anchor point, double back and secure the winch hook back on the dozer. U got enough line to do that twice actually. Fun video
Loved the drone footage at the end. What an amazing property! Be sure to shovel the snow off the roof or it will collapse under the weight. And mice are a big problem. Stay on top of those buggers or the RV will soon be unlivable. I live in an RV full time on a mountain top, so this is from experience.
Just curious when temp outside gets down to freezing you need to winterize that trailer before freezing weather. Could bust pipes from water in water lines. You need special Freon for an RV from a dealership and your manual for sure. Also your awning should not be extended in winter either. Always have your manual on hand. If you also get a lot of snow in your area your slide outs should be in not extended out. We had over a 38 foot trailer (excluding the trailer hitch) and always winterized it in the middle of October. We had a 20 foot slide out in kitchen and living room area plus one in the bedroom. You have a beautiful trailer for sure and I would talk to the repair dept. at an RV dealership that sells that brand and explain about that one slide out not working properly. They will let you know how to fix it and sell or order the parts. We had that happen on our 20 foot slide out and it had something to do with the gear underneath the slide out. Our trailer was brand new and the repair guy said sometimes that happens.
P.S. There should have been a "crank" to manually move that living room slide out with instead of pushing it out. Check your manual because that is what they did with our 20 foot slide out because the gear on that slide out didn't work and had to be replaced OR ask check with Jayco.
Hard way to get up there but It's worth it! Great views, big space and that camper is the ultimate addition. Also I spotted the deckchair space on the right, the one you shared photos on instagram, it's a stunning view! Enjoy it man, thanks for sharing, cheers!

That is a really good post William Degnan! Hi from Zurich Switzerland dude.
This is exactly why I hate campers with sliders. They are very finicky, break often and will leave you with a LOT of damage down the road.
Also with the way the jack linkages work, they have nearly no force when they are barely extended. If they were extended more they would lift more.
i was thinking the same but watching a video me yelling at my screen to take it off all the jack stands did no good lol

The stabilizing feet are just to stabilize the trailer. They are not meant to lift or level or support anything. You risk twisting the camper and breaking things. Level the trailer first. Then use the stabilizers to stabilize.
They’re way beyond that man. Now they’re breaking the camper extensions. 😂
@@piffuzzo Exactly. I was cringing watching that. Was a nice trailer.
And that is why the slide would not move out... The frame is tweak.
Aaron Anderson: That WAS a nice camper, I just don’t understand why the spare tire was put back on? That camper will NEVER come back off that mountain!!
How to ruin a camper and truck in one easy lesson. Not impressed with this bloke.
Now you need a pole shed over the camper to protect it from snow loading on the slide outs with a lean too off the back to store the snow toys under
Me first thinking " towing a camper up a mountain", borrring, second thought, it's a adventure when A.C brushes his teeth in the morning. Content: nearly totals his truck, needs two dozers and his buddy has a nervous breakdown. PRICELESS! Love you Bro.
@Random One I thought the bumper was going to come off!🤣😂
I was going to comment,but you're thinking the exact same way as me,Towing a camper up a mountain............What could go wrong.Andrew. hold my beer...............
@@breenwalshe7667 🤣😂👍
We all already know that Andrew is crazy but much kudos goes out to the driver of the truck. That man has brass gnads!!
😆 needed a BIG pry bar too, im sure
I'm only 9 minutes in and already I'm like "This is the sketchiest stuff, even for Andrew" haha.
I was anxious this entire video.
If you think that. Go through all his videos
@@John98512 15:00 minutes in even Levi was anxious, and he is Andrew's dog!
@@NarfBLAST That's Cody. Levi is in heaven.
My only thing was IF the bumper had came off the truck all of that camper and truck would have turned into landscape material by time it got to the bottom
Suggestion: if that trailer is staying up there then this spring invest in like 5 gallons of a roof sealant like Tropi-Cool. Like you said in the previous video, the most important thing is the roof and with these RV trailers once they start leaking it's a nightmare.
He's probably going to build a castle on top of it.
Maybe he’ll build a roof and small garage type thing for his snow mobiles
Getting mine rebuilt as I type this from a water leak $5400 to fix a 5 year old trailer !!!
We should start planting the seed in Andrew about getting Cody a female and start raising pups.
They’d be very desirable
Used to live in a 35 footer and if you don't seal the roof properly they leak and everything goes to shit, cause they are not built strong. after sealer, might want to consider building a permanent roof over the entire trailer to help protect the roof, also if your gonna keep the sliders out best to also put some blocks under them as well, to keep them more stabilized also.
I love how the D-7 is working so light that the winch cable doesn’t really even straighten out.
It doesn't look like the same could be said for the Dodge anymore though. Paint it yellow, it's a banana.
@@aland7236 good one lol
@@aland7236 with andrew owning it the motor probably runs as strong as the day it came off the lot
You can visibly see the sag in the middle and slight buckling in the cladding; I suspect that's why the pop-out was binding. They're built to have the weight on the axels at all times and the entire structure is built around the chassis sagging either side of this. If you don't have the wheels supported, with added snow load you could actually do some very serious damage to all part of the structure inside and out. I build this sort of stuff for a living and see a few totalled by stuff like this every year.
Also, leaving them out all the time is sketchy. The roofing needs to be carefully monitored and maintained. If these aren’t moving in and out, ever, perhaps a permanent exoskeleton and roof, out of… oh I dunno… steel maybe 😂
Another nail-biting, edge of the chair episode, brought to you by Andy "Sky Crane" Camarata. An awesome display of raw torque.
Andrew is the new Clarkson, lol
The first half is so hard to watch. Just waiting for disaster. The second half I learned that Andrew needs to keep this guy with him at all times. Somebody to keep him in check from going spastic and destroying everything :-)
Couldn't said it any better he was ready to rip that slide out just to get it out surprised he didn't say .let me go get the dozer an Pull it out lol
I was on pins and needles the entire time he pulled the truck/camper up the hill. Crazy stuff! I love it!
Same
I thought it might go over the edge
Andrew: Consider putting a roof over the camper next summer. The first thing to go is the roof and they are expensive to repair or replace. You want to keep the weather, leaves and branches off of it and it will last a long time. Great video, again. You sure didn’t need the rain when doing the dirt work.
And don’t park it under trees, or at a campground downstream from a dam.
The new bumper will be awesome. This is good stuff. I love the “can do” spirit.
"This camper was well looked after by the previous owner" .. then it met Andrew, lol !!!
Very happy to see Andrew over a million subs. If I could only pick one RUclipsr to watch the rest of my life, it'd be this guy
Amen to that
While the obvious practical choice was to put a ball on the little dozer and pull the trailer up, you made the correct content choice to use the dozer to pull on the flimsy bumper hooked to a rattle trap truck hooked to the camper on a steep mountain road. 👌 The only correct channel choice.
It seems like excluding the truck from the equation would have been the way to go, just rig a towbar directly from the trailer to the dozer. It takes a little basic fabrication, but I pull trailers with my track loader all the time.
😂😂” the people took really good care of it”. Then I dragged it up a mountain.
I can just imagine the look of horror on the old owners face watching his pride and joy being off roaded to its final resting place. I'm guessing the armor all shine on the tires is gone.
@@markw2266 😂
@@markw2266 Or the way he leveled it. Yikes those where stabalizer jacks not leveling jacks. He probably tweeked the frame leveling it that way hence why one of the slides got screwed up. That or it bounced out of alignment being dragged up that hill. Ouch.
@@loganholmberg2295 Exactly what I thought. Slide wouldn't go out because something is twisted or bent... like the frame of the thing.
@@loganholmberg2295 At 14:54 , the left rear of the camper catches a tree while turning, same side as the broken slideout, which might have been part of the problem with the slideout jamming.
First time I've actually sat on the edge of my chair watching Camarata. Pulling that truck and trailor up the mountain was kinda like a suspenseful thriller movie! : ) Enjoyed!
you should come watch me try to build a driveway with a skid steer in my 10 foot drop of a "yard" off the side of a roadbed. nearly flipped it about a dozen times.
What about the poor fellow in the cab of the truck? His heart had to have skipped a couple of beats when Camarata let some of the cable out and nearly snatched the bumper off> LoL
definitely a nail biter!!!
I made it through without fast forwarding! The guy in truck cab gets gets bravery award.
TTtinyhome
Greetings:
Please tell me how I am wrong in suggesting that you route the dozer winch cable down and through the lower tow connector near the bottom of the dozer instead of directly off of the winch cable supply to reduce the cable's pull angle that is raising the truck bumper.
I would also consider using that same tree that held the truck while you dozed the turn wider, to also anchor the cable with a pulley until you can establish a usable cable path around the turn.
Assuming that turn will remain a part of the uphill path for a while, I would consider using your post-hole digging tools to install a strong pole to use in future heavily loaded uphill pulls. I watched you clear a wide swath to widen the turn, but I did not see the obstruction keeping you from reducing the angle of the turn other right side of the road (rocks maybe).
30:17 " The people kept really good care of this thing . " Hopefully they never see this video . Full points for getting it there .
That’s funny
Ha
Love your videos Andrew, you are the embodiment of doing what you can with what you have. HOWEVER, I notice a theme to you, when things start going south you blame the equipment or item. Your towing situation is because you're doing something that was never intended to be used in that manner, and you are taking it to an extreme! Do I agree that things should be engineered better absolutely but you gotta start using that big brain of yours, cause you have shown us you have it!!! Great video to start Monday off with!!! Loved your side by side one as well!!! Keep them coming!!
Love his videos but he really does put himself in some stupid situations that are completely avoidable
We obviously all do stupid shit before we learn a lesson, unfortunately Andrews job often involves them being filmed
Can't believe I'm up at four in the morning (west coast) This will make it better. Thanks Andrew!
Lunch 🥗 time in Sweden 🇸🇪
5 for me in Canada
@@carver370z5 5 for me too in US in MS
Same here, SoCal.
Like the pull up the mountain. Like the C7 pull in the steeper grades. Like the camper. Like the land. Love Cody.
As @Dale Adkins eluded to; 'snow proofing' & 'mice proofing' might be a priority. During the time you not there, the snow will be building up on those side outs and the mice will love their new home! When you are there you'll be busy fix'n mice damage, shoveling off the roof, and potential snow & water leak damage, chewing into valuable sledding time. With that said, your Ambition is Amazing! What an awesome spot and idea! Cheers Andrew! Thanks for sharing!
This would have been a lot easier with a Chinook. Ever look into used ones by you?
Was thinking the same but thinking of the Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane ... lift capacity 20,000 lbs. .... but damn they're expensive to rent ($1.5 million for 12 weeks) and $30-40 million new.
Andrew is always finding a bargain, there must be one out there that needs a bit of TLK, that Andrew gives to all his machines.
@@craigsowers8456 If you could rent it by the hour it would only be $744. Would have definitely been worth it ;)
even at 2-3k an hour it would have still been worth it considering the material and manhours invested othervise
A jetranger is $500 hour plus ferry , the closest skycrane could be on the west coast.
One golden rule for long loads, a large radius is needed to go around bends .. next time use a Snatchblock , attach it to the dozer tow bar with a shackle route the winch wire around the block, that will lower the angle of your wire to pulling instead of pulling and lifting at the same time.. I run a D10 & 11
That's it. Wrong parallelogram of forces.
I have a big snatch block there, I almost went and got it, but then I just widened the turn area
@@AndrewCamarata I ws talking about the vertical angle. You lift the pulling car's front, reduce steering capability and add strain to the front. The force is less bringing the rig forward but lift the pulling car.
@@AndrewCamarata Yes Andrew, it’s one of those, how much kit to carry around all the time, it’s a real bummer, well you got it done in the end, a superb trailer, you’ll be spending a few boozy nights in that with your friends, hope your truck is not too badly damaged …stay safe 👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧🇬🇧

Bloody hell.
Talk about OFF GRID living.

Thanks Andrew, this has to be in the top ten of all your videos. Lots of suspense. What a Monday morning surprise. Thank you for sharing this.
It's easy to forget all the effort that goes into filming while doing work at the same time.
I'm no expert but wouldn't it have been easier (especially for the pickup) to connect camper to small bulldozer and use both to go up?
Looking forward to next video fixing pickup.
I thought the same thing. One at a time, Andrew.
Was thinking the exact same. A hour maybe two, jerry rig/weld a tow bar to the dozer and you're golden. But that would'nt have been fun to watch
Not sure if there's room but couldn't you just put a ball on the dozers hitch? Then chain /rope some old tires onto the blade if the pickup needs pushing
Sometimes I wonder about that boy. Lol
Yep... sitting here watching, wondering what possible point the pickup served here except being a middle man to get beat up.
This is one of my favorite videos. That is a real nice camper The stabilizer jacks are not for leveling. Awesome video
Absolutely loved it -- what a place - - your empire is growing - - keep it up Andrew - good luck in all you do
When that trailer was born it had no idea where it would end up. I am amazed you got that up there without destroying it. Well done.
I’ve watched this young man from the first few months he started posting and I tell you he was born to be a CAT skinner. He can make it look easy with that D7.
That Ole 7 sounded gooooood..firing up!!
Man that was hard work - I was straining in my chair with the effort of trying to help get up that hill lol. Andrew’s truck is a couple feet longer after that.
Title should have been How to Stretch A Dodge Truck.
Andrew, maybe you want to consider making a "converter dolly" that allows you to pull a trailer with a ball, 5th wheel or gooseneck with a a piece of heavy equipment without sacrificing a pickup
or just use the pickups power and brakes too😂 or is the pickup 2wd with no working brakes??
@@SWEETSIDER gravity was no match for the pickups traction. all the wheels were locked up it was sliding backwards.
@@legohead6 no they weren't locked up lol. they were just rolling back. he held the brakes for a second and then visibly let them go again and finished destroying the front end. he also got out with it just idling in neutral later on and it started rolling away just as he got back in.
I live in BC Canada and have worked in logging for 10 years. That isn't a "mountain", its a decently wet hilland theres a dozer hooked up😂. if the dodge transfer case grenaded at the bottom of the hill than it makes some sense why he's not just chewing at all with just the rear end, but still either a pretty bunk driver or intentional "content" creation.
@@SWEETSIDER Wide angle cameras do not show inclines very well. There were some moments the dozer was having issues going up without towing the truck/camper. If Andrew says it's steep I believe him.
@@NathanielHatley I own wide angle lens cameras. They don’t lie that much😂. only time the dozer “had trouble” going up was when he was turning and letting one truck chew…. Do you run equipment?? Or just tell people who do how equipment works?? I’ve taken a d4 up a hill so steep you have to turn around and run the blade on the ground so you don’t roll over backwards…. If the 4 was powering out and had a pretty tired engine that’s believable….. but I’ve pulled a loaded off highway logging truck that weighed 90,000 lbs with twisted off driveshaft with a d7 that’s about the same age as that one, it’s not struggling pulling a pickup and bumper pull trailer man🤦🏻♂️. It’s being played up a lot in this video.
When I read the title, I knew this video was going to be a "white knuckle" adventure and it delivered 10x.
Those are stabilizing jacks not lifting jacks. They were never designed or meant to take the weight of the RV. They are just for keeping it from rocking once you have it level. Here's how to level a pull behind travel trailer like your have. 1. Level side to side using blocks under your wheels. 2. Level front to rear with your tongue jack. 3 put down your stabilizer arms. 4 open your slide. You could not get the slide out because you had your entire rig in a big ole bind.
Also if you expect that camper to last more than a few years in the snow, you need to build a shelter over it to keep it out of the snow.
looking forward to the repairing frame damage on a dodge pickup video. I would consider putting a roof over the trailer, they won't last as long with the snow load on them constantly
That camper does look freaking fancy, nice spot for the night!
Only needs to extend once.
If Andrew thinks modern vehicles are built to a poor standard wait till he experiences modern rv build quality. Impressive undertaking getting that beast up there.
That camper is crazy big with opposing slide outs! Camarata, for all the hard work and determination you have I cant think of a more deserving person than you! You can't take anything with you when you leave this world so ya better enjoy it while your here! Cool video and you got cool friends that'll let you drag them up a mountain! Your all freakin' crazy but so am I, I would have been right in the middle of it with you guys! Be Good or Good at it!!!

I love watching Andrew Camarata, he is persistent & consistent, which both qualities are what's needed to get the job done.
When you watch enough of these video's, you know that Andrew will get the job done. Someone will hate on this video without watching his video about every vehicle he has ever owned, which show's how far back he has been re engineering machinery, which was young. I love this channel.
its great to watch him build stuff but this was a bit dumb tbh. why not just build an adapter to hitch the trailer to the bulldozer? far less weight to tow and less things to go wrong.
or am i missing something?
@@Genesis23OPB Andrew exposes garbage vehicles of the modern era. Vehicles were built durable in the past, when people wouldn't purchase garbage from factories. Now it's planned obsolescence. Planned obsolescence disposable garbage is what Andrew exposes.
@@unchained20000000 ever thought about that it was his own fault? you would never fix a chain to the winch the way he did, thats common sense. and planed obsolesence is correct in a way, but does not apply here when andrew made the choice by himself to needlessly hitch the pickup between trailer and bulldozer. especially when he obviously didnt need the pickup to place the camper, as he positioned it with the small digger.
Great way to start MONDAY!
Agreed
Allen you can tear up a lot of shit jerkin around on it like that.
LCN didn't know you were a fan. Good to see you here.
Looks like Camarata is "Throwin it down"
Actually a great way to start MONDAY!!
Not only do you do the coolest things but you make some of the best content on the internet! Living the DREAM
Man, you’ve been putting them out lately, what a pleasant surprise
A notice of a new AC video is always the best part of my day!! My first though was to reinforce the heck out of the camper tongue and convert it to the same pintle type hitch you use on your equipment trailers. Then install the same mating hitch on the D7 and connect direct... eliminating the weak link which was the Stretch Armstrong pickup. I kept waiting for the hitch to fail and have a Runaway replay like the crane!!
Your way was Far More entertaining!!!! 👍👍👍
a pintle hitch is a excellent idea, I was thinking the same thing.
ruclips.net/video/2jwwVtN8dHA/видео.html .............
I absolutely love videos where he just takes us along with whatever he’s doing. Keep doing that please and upload a bit more if you can
Me too
Totally love that caravan/trailer and the location! Beautiful! Thanks for another superb video, Andrew!
You need to tighten the left track on the D7 before it walks off on you. Another helpful thing, put a hitch on the dozer to pull the trailers with.
I was expecting it to jump track at every turn.
I like the dogs response at 15:03
My thoughts exactly on the hitch. But since it was nice to be able to clear with the D7, I say he should have had the other dozer hooked to the camper instead of the truck. Then you've got a solid frame for the camper's "tow vehicle". I cringed the first time that the winch freewheeled downhill 2 feet and nearly took the bumper off.
Hitch on the D-4
When Andrew says “that should be good “. He means It will be ok I’ll just fix what breaks
ruclips.net/video/2jwwVtN8dHA/видео.html .............
Andrew got it done but for those who want to learn, rv's you level them side to side by putting stuff under the wheels then level front to back with the hitch jack. all other jacks are for stabilizing not leveling.
That's why the slide wouldn't go out. I used to repair RVs and they aren't meant to be off there wheels lol to much flex
I thought this when I saw it. Its binding from the bow/twist in the frame.
It probably also didn't help that the stacked cribbage was so tall. It didn't let the arms get down into an angle where they were more effective.
@@kevind5508 unless you put a lot of blocks underneath and use many Jack's to place the blocks to reduce the chance of bending the frame.
Man you have busted my nerves. Lol, the dude in the truck has got more balls than a pool table, crazy....
Amazing start to my week, thanks Andrew. Loved when Cody was lab inspecting laid down on the sofa whilst you two sweating it out pushing that compartment out. This video really shows how stubborn to get something done you are. wonderful work ethic!
I didn’t realise I could hold my breath that long till I watched this Video, great job as always Andrew
Great score!! I thought that thing was gonna yard sale down the hill when that bumper started going. If you want it to last, step one is to take your post hole digger up there and build a pole shed roof over it. Step two is stuff it with rodent control. Don't forget to winterize it.
ruclips.net/video/2jwwVtN8dHA/видео.html .............
ruclips.net/video/2jwwVtN8dHA/видео.html .............
Yeah, rodent control is one thing. Not sure if I had gone with putting it completely under a roof, although that makes sense for sure as it eliminates the load of the snow in winter and keeps away some heat in the summer. But I would recommend putting something on top of the slide outs for sure, as those things are not unlikely to start leaking at some point.
@@alexanderkupke920 One universal guarantee on campers is that the roofs will leak. Usually after extreme roads like pulling it up a mountain where the unit itself is under stress causing all the seams to flex or winter snow weight and ice dams. He probably spent a good chunk of change on that camper. Putting a $5k roof over it with nice over hang for sled parking and dry storage/deck area and to completely eliminate roof leaking possibility is a wise investment. I just hope he did his research and this model is a true four season with better insulation since winter use seems to be intended purpose. Otherwise it's gonna be a wall sweating ice box.
@@alexanderkupke920 mxkkskskskd
When the construction company i worked for years ago had to get office trailers up onto a mountain before a good road was built the had a tow bar that hooked to the back of 2 of the dozers and they would just pull the trailer up and set it- made it 99% easier
Andrew is one of the few who could post a video about tying his boot laces and there will be 40k views in 3 hours. Always good content!
That's the closest I've seen to Andrew getting panicked. Great job with being so creative. It might have been easier to just build a log cabin out of the trees in the area.
pissed off !!
Or a hitch attachment for the bulldozer to pull it up
But that wouldn't make a great video lol
@@bostoncarpenter4317 That's what I was thinking too. But you're right there's not as much entertainment in doing it that way

Hello
sorry for the bad google translation
always great videos.
But be careful with the dog because he is always between two maneuvers with your gear it would be a shame to lose this pretty dog
good luck Hello from France
Absolutely gorgeous views man! Also, after watching your videos for years I think that’s the most “frustrated” I think I’ve ever seen you get lol nail biter ride up and that camper is nicer than my apartment!
It always amazes me the effort someone will go to just to have a place away from the homebase even though the homebase is in a setting most people would characterize as a remote wooded area. Not criticizing his decision!
It’s all about a basecamp for snowmobiling and maybe atv riding….I’m guessing.
That's a nice set up. Thanks for bringing us along.
Next time u pull with a winch like that, run the line around the truck anchor point, double back and secure the winch hook back on the dozer. U got enough line to do that twice actually. Fun video
Great video...every time I see Cody I think what an amazing dog.......and how fast he runs.......
Loved the drone footage at the end. What an amazing property! Be sure to shovel the snow off the roof or it will collapse under the weight. And mice are a big problem. Stay on top of those buggers or the RV will soon be unlivable. I live in an RV full time on a mountain top, so this is from experience.
Dosnt have to be the mountain tops there everywhere
Unlivable will be soon lol

A Right Bumper Ripping Episode
I see the spam bots got andrew too.
Just curious when temp outside gets down to freezing you need to winterize that trailer before freezing weather. Could bust pipes from water in water lines. You need special Freon for an RV from a dealership and your manual for sure. Also your awning should not be extended in winter either. Always have your manual on hand. If you also get a lot of snow in your area your slide outs should be in not extended out. We had over a 38 foot trailer (excluding the trailer hitch) and always winterized it in the middle of October. We had a 20 foot slide out in kitchen and living room area plus one in the bedroom. You have a beautiful trailer for sure and I would talk to the repair dept. at an RV dealership that sells that brand and explain about that one slide out not working properly. They will let you know how to fix it and sell or order the parts. We had that happen on our 20 foot slide out and it had something to do with the gear underneath the slide out. Our trailer was brand new and the repair guy said sometimes that happens.
P.S. There should have been a "crank" to manually move that living room slide out with instead of pushing it out. Check your manual because that is what they did with our 20 foot slide out because the gear on that slide out didn't work and had to be replaced OR ask check with Jayco.
Well, that was just a little bit more excitement than I had planned on having on a Monday morning!
Hard way to get up there but It's worth it! Great views, big space and that camper is the ultimate addition. Also I spotted the deckchair space on the right, the one you shared photos on instagram, it's a stunning view! Enjoy it man, thanks for sharing, cheers!
