I do not debate the quality of the product at all, I have seen them in person, however they are extremely expensive and over priced. Clearly they are selling and making money but there are other products out there they are built just as good but they are not over pricing their product. Today that problem is, overlanding trailers are popular so prices are going up just because of that, not because of the product, but the companies that don't fall to that are the companies more people are going with. To many companies worry about the high-end profit. I know a lot of people that like your product but they "would never spend that much money on one" .. They are more expensive then a full RV trailer or 5th wheel is some cases.
I ordered a new X3 this year and it has been the WORST EXPERIENCE with a company in my entire life! The worst quality control ever. Camper delivered with ITEM MISSING, TRAILER BRAKES NOT WORKING, Water Tanks Leaking, Hand brake not adjusted, and to TOP it off. the Tent Leaks when it Rains! Then they wanted "Tickets opened" for DAY ONE Issues. Months later still not resolved!
Well built by the looks pity the Gen1 owners are not as well looked after with after sales issues. I would have liked to upgrade to a Gen2 but due to patriots after sales service/support… probably not gonna happen. Its all well and good when your the one holding the mic, I don’t see patriot address any complaints or comments made. Ppl Justin can say what he wants about how good they are, it’s true they are good. It’s when something goes wrong that Patriot does not look after its clients. Sad really for a company who states it all about being Australian.
Hello, with love from Japan. I would like to know if Patriot Camper has stopped selling truck bed trays. Also, I'm looking forward to the evolution of Toy Hauler to GEN2. thank you.
I have to say that this video by FAR has been the most informative video yet. Awesome presentation, I'm glad I put a down payment on the X2 Tourer model👍
Great video and excellent dedication to quality, I genuinely wish I could afford one. But as a consumer, I still can’t justify up to $93k for an X3 when I can get an Austack Simpson for $20k or even a full Hybrid caravan for $50k. We’re in a cost of living crisis, you guys need to figure out how to make your product cheaper as opposed to how to make it better (it’s clearly already better).
I've watched this video several times and perhaps a little late to the party, but as an engineer, Patriot Campers hands down make the best camper trailer on the market. As a great believer in supporting Australian made, you definitely tick that box. As far as I'm concerned, worth every cent and after seeing this video, my upgrade from the Patriot MY22 X1 will definitely be the Patriot X1 Gen2 (when the timing is right). Right now, I love my X1 Gen1: the quality, the performance, the features, the aesthetics are impeccable. You're a premium manufacturer making premium products, which is the only reason I bought my first camper trailer, after tenting for 30 years, from Patriot Campers. I hope nothing changes with your business model just because some people think your product is expensive but coming from the automotive industry our mantra used to be "Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten". Don't change a thing Justin.
Hi Justin, all our smash repair methods on the alloy structure of a Tesla uses riveting and chemical bonding. The strength of modern 2k adhesives is mind blowing, you will tear the metal before the adhesive lets go. Hand made is expensive, low volume and high quality equals a premium price just look at high end car manufactures. BTW I loved seeing the "skeleton" of your trailers, just a tradie thing.
Hey, Justin! Can you manufacture something basic at lower cost so young people can afford it? maybe even modular so customers can upgrade when they want it.
Yeah like something like the ModBox...or I think its the Chameleon trailer which is modular. It would be cool but would it be worth the outlay to get a small portion of the small camper trailer scene?
@@daddydavo8357 I would grab customers while they are young so they come back for premium products later. with the car prices these days plus accessories and insurance that have gone up it's unlikely that any 20-year-old could spend another 50k+ on the trailer.
There's plenty of lower cost campers out there. Especially used. These guys are clearly aimed at the upper end of the market. I would say that a $70k plus camper trailer is beyond most people's reach, not just young people.
These are awesome, no doubt. Probably the best quality camper out there, or one of. But, whether it's worth it or not, is up to the individual. Not everyone has 60-90k to throw on one of those, or needs it. But if money was no object, then you can't really beat a patriot. Really like the focus on Australian products and manufacturing.
This is great. I hope that one day Patriot looks at slide on campers. I’m sure the team’s ingenuity would be able to sort a few of the problems that exist in that segment, and deliver a product that I feel is sorely needed (and I would pay top dollar for)
Definitely "Worth the Cost". Patriot's commitment to quality at all stages and continuous refinement of the product is most impressive. As they say: quality will be remembered long after the price is forgotten.
When do you plan on launching Patriot Boats? Don't even begin to tell me you haven't kicked plans around on a custom tinny for the boat rack on the TH. Let alone a 589 or 610 sized general purpose, aluminium, family boat. With all you've learned over the years. I know you've got the design knowledge and manufacturing capabilty in-house.
Justin, from one Aussie manufacturer to another well done I take my hat off to you. While we work in slightly different areas of our industry I can see and understand the time and money that goes into product development. Well done.
At first watching him explain the trailer and the testing I was like are most of the weld points yellow to highlight the craftsmanship but then remembered if they did a destructive test then it was yellow for weld inspection with the penetrating dye. But seeing the frame like it is shows why patriot camper is worth the price tag.
There is no doubt that Patriot Campers are one of the best trailers out there. Q: have you guys been in discussions around building a small caravan with a small bathroom/toilet? I think that would kill the Chinese market with their own brands.
That was interesting, lot’s of rubbish utility trailers in the Aussie market. Maybe you should dip a toe in that sector. Compare with say Ifor Williams.
After seeing many broken trailers out bush & building a couple of trailers myself it was easy to see the superior engineering in a Patriot trailer & it’s given me the confidence to take our X1 anywhere the car can go
They are absolutely worth the price tag. Best camper trailer by a mile. Ours is 6 years old it’s been everywhere and still not once has it let us down or any breakages. Keep up the good work Patriot.
Awesome that you have explained the process and how much goes into making a Patriot camper. Love that it’s Aussie made, wouldn’t buy one but it’s awesome.
You still regularly see people comment how how these trailers are “overpriced” but honestly, have a look at the r&d, the quality, the construction methods and the Australian made mantra and you can soon see the costs adding up. Yes they’re expensive but overpriced…I don’t think so.
Just spotted patriot campers at area 51. Rumor has it their stelth version comes out in 2025. It will have a hover function and is undetectable to radar.
You guys are an amazing bunch of Aussies. Great product, great innovation and design. All the details in the finished product speaks volumes. Can't wait to get my hands on the Gen2 and test it out with the fam. Well done Patriot Campers team. Proud to be Aussie.
As an Aussie I'm proud of what Patriot Campers represents for Australian manufacturing. Well done Justin and team Patriot. P.s... looking forward to being a proud owner of a Gen 2 X2 later in the year and having the best in Australian camper trailers. Well done guys 🎉
Fantastic video Justin, great insight and impressive overview of technologies and investments your making to push and modernise your products and the market. It’s rare you get to see so much innovation, can only be matter of time before you start offering carbon fibre….. great stuff chap, and the info on the fabrication techniques applied and powder coating - fascinating - bearded nerd, Gandalf of PCorp 😂😂
in 20 years time, there will just be one giant building there for Patriot group, covering all of the Gold Coast! "Number one Camper Trailer, CNC, Plasma Cutting, 3d metal printing joint in the world!"
Absolutely bonkers how amazing ur products are … I beg you please bring back the pcor canopies and super tourers … I miss them … Especially that option for a complete baller rig that just works together Also dope vid mate
Thanks for going into such great detail of what makes your overlander rigs so special. I have followed Brad's (Trail Recon on YT) travels with a couple of your trailers. I was surprised to hear you use Deutsch connectors! Believe it or not, way back in the early 1970's I worked for, and received my Toolmaker (tool & die) certificate from the local Deutsch Company plant, which was the largest employer in my area at the time. I'm sure it was the same Deutsch Company, founded by Alex Deutsch not long after WWII ended, although the company logo seems to no longer be in use. And yes, I helped build and maintain tooling for their huge variety of mostly aircraft and space grade connectors, including the 155 pin connectors.
Great to see this. First time I have seen the structural integrity of the camper. Always seen and thought the finished product were great. But seeing the chassis, R&D and manufacturing side was good.
There's plenty of welding in aerospace, but generally CRES and titanium. Some aluminium, but that gets baked afterwards for stress relief. You're correct when you say aircraft are predominantly assembled with fasteners of various types.
Bloody proud these trailers are made in Australia, definitely the best quality it’s the sort of trailer that you can hand down through the family it would last that long! I would love to be a proud Patriot owner ,again not overpriced but out of reach of the average Aussie like myself. The amount of time it would take me to save to afford one of these I’ve lost years of just getting out there, yes with a Chinese trailer but I will never stop trying to win one of these would be a dream come true. Keep innovating Patriot family🏕️

It's still not priced for the normal person.
Over engineered and definitely overpriced. Let's not forget we're camping folks. $40k less will buy you the exact same outdoors experience.

$93k is a house mortgage….thanks but no thanks,not for those lil things

Find a way to make the camper more affordable not by making it cheaper quality ,volume of sales and manufacturing speed.

Hand made is expensive, low volume and high quality equals a premium price just look at high end car manufactures. BTW I loved seeing the "skeleton" of your trailers, just a tradie thing.
Great video and demonstrated product knowledge. Love the honesty in the video, so rare to see that on other channels.
Why no Victorian suppliers/outlets?
Hey, Justin! Can you manufacture something basic at lower cost so young people can afford it? maybe even modular so customers can upgrade when they want it.
Yeah like something like the ModBox...or I think its the Chameleon trailer which is modular. It would be cool but would it be worth the outlay to get a small portion of the small camper trailer scene?
4WD supacentre, or MDC.
Buy one of them for cheap.
@@mini_steve Why would you buy China poor quality product if we got local manufacturers.

Australian designed, engineered and manufactured. Unlike the many Chinese crap boxes that seem to be everywhere

lol. Yeah you keep telling yourself that.
Rubbish! The high cost of Australian products have nothing to do with quality.

When are you going to make the Patriot camper to fit on the back of over four-wheel drive so we don't need a trailer trailer
Justin, from one Aussie manufacturer to another well done I take my hat off to you. While we work in slightly different areas of our industry I can see and understand the time and money that goes into product development. Well done.

Staying in our lane for now, but never say never 😉

Nope! This its Aussie made therefore its better than other is rubbish!

When rivet the 2 panels, how thick can the PU sealant be after that.
To still funktion?
Awesome insight and a look under the covers of a bullet proof camper! Well done team!!
Great info - good to see all this detail and Aussie manufacturing

Would be awesome if you made a full-blown 2 Axel off-road caravan 😊 something unique with your signature 😊
Im 6ft 4 in height am i going to fit under the awning comfortably?
They are nice, but waaay too much money.
I work for Australian tube mills 👌 good to see your using Aussie made
Do you distribute in South Africa?
Awesome that you have explained the process and how much goes into making a Patriot camper. Love that it’s Aussie made, wouldn’t buy one but it’s awesome.

ive had 5 patriot campers now, best trailer out there. i will tell anyone who listens! haha
Good video, makes me want to buy one. Love the passion for Australian made and quality.
Great vid, thank you!! I am blown away by how little set up and take-down time is required with these too...fantastic design. Cheers
There's plenty of welding in aerospace, but generally CRES and titanium. Some aluminium, but that gets baked afterwards for stress relief.
You're correct when you say aircraft are predominantly assembled with fasteners of various types.
Incredible product
Serious professional
Extremely impressive Justin
Brilliant!!!
I've got two questions:
* Do you have a Victorian dealer yet?
* Do you have an awning wall kit for the Gen 2 X3 yet?
Working on both 😉
@@patriotcampers thanks, do you have an approximate eta?
Also, when are you going to start putting 2000w inverters in them?
SO GOOD!
i see the craftsmanship and the high quality, yet I don't see the money.
These trailers look so good.
amazing product, i hope the sales take off for you guys
Top Of The Line Units for sure!!
