The Hiker was a great choice, becoming part of an HOA, not so much. Some options are a great addition, but many can be had for much less than what Hiker charges to install ( although I think they make a great camper, that’s why I own one 😋 ). For example, “Adventuring with Amanda” has one of my favorite ideas for camp showers, or just getting a frig that plugs into your vehicle’s cigarette lighter and has the capacity for multiple day stays. The 5 x 10 is really nice, that extra foot can make a big difference ( I have a 5x9). Thanks for posting.
Hi Twoweary, will have to check out Adventuring with Amanda. The 5x10 is a great size for us. Thanks for posting!
Thank You for the props! Happy Adventures! #GetOutside
Sorry we just saw your reply, RUclips held onto it for some reason. You're welcome!
Congrats and welcome to the Hiker family. Those flood lights are very bright so when they are on at night it looks like a UFO is landing. I installed a dimmer to make the light little bit less disturbing. Add PWM dimmer to the ring light, you will love it. Great source for HIker stuff on www.youtube.com/@MWDAdventures
Sorry for the late reply, RUclips held onto your comment for some reason. Going to check that out, thank you!
There are boxes for the top of the fridge box top that fit perfectly up there. They are in a set of 3.
Hello Campfirestories, thanks for the info. Will look for those
We have used that same fridge for 2 years now. Works amazing, we used it non-stop on a 9 month trip with zero issues.
Hi Jay and Eleinne! It seems to be built really solid. We figured we camp maybe 6 or more times a year. Even if it lasted one or two years, cheaper to replace than a Dometic. Glad to hear how well it performs! Have a great day!
Thanks for sharing! @adventuresofthememorymakers is another channel for teardrop owners. They have a Bushwhacker, but any teardrop owner would love their hacks, tips, and modifications.
Awesome, thank you so much!
WOW, that seems like a cool way to go glamping! Thanks for the tour; I can't wait for the next trip!
We're still working on the interior and the galley, so we will be excited to show our progress soon. Was that a good picture of Dan? Ha ha ha
Yes Dan is quite the dapper fellow
DIY Outdoor Life and Playing with Sticks are good Podcasts also
Thank you so much for the suggestions, will definitely check them out!
"Orange Julius"
Ha ha ha, I like it!!!
Our garage opening height is 81inches. Have you measured the height of the trailer+awning? Will it clear 81" opening. Thanksnfornthe video
Hello, I just measured the 270 awning and its height was 80 inches from garage floor to the top. We were also shown on the mounting bracket, that it could be lowered by about an inch if you drop it down to the second holes.
Hope that helps
@@PinayAndtheWhiteGuy thank you!
You're welcome! We'd be glad to help if you need anymore measurements or questions. Have a great day
@@PinayAndtheWhiteGuy another question... how did you add the curt Jack's? I could not find them on the builder
On the XL, they were called "Rear Stabilizer Jacks" and were part of the base Model. We did not have to get them added on
Next time show the inside, that's what 99% of people want
We will be showing the inside and the galley during our upcoming camping trip. It wasn't ready when I filmed this. Thank you for your comment
Nice video and channel. Now subbed! I have a channel too dedicated to my Hiker Trailer experiences. Check it out as I put more content out. Kyle
Awesome, thanks Kyle. Looking forward to watching your videos!
