Water is one thing - that bloody fine bulldust is another ! A good trip will show up any weaknesses , take some spare tools and straps and have fun breaking her in 🤠
As the owner of a 6 by 4 camper trailer, yours is good. I took a standard 6 by 4 trailer, had a canopy made for it, added King Quiky Rooftop tent and a set of 4 by 4 drawers. I have a 120 amp battery and 40 litres of water in 4 plastic cans. But I like yours. Happy camping. You never know, we just might meet up one day.
You have done a good job. After 20 years in the army I never rolled one. And they do float. I have rowed them down many a river. Strapped Jerry cans on the outside. We called them a 1 ton trailer. I also daisy chained 6 of them together. Well done
As a No5 trailer owner and user, I can say brakes and shocks are game changers. Please do both. I just used oem hilux shock out of the bin at my local peders dealer. They were pretty new at the time.
Looks fantastic Tom I’m very impressed with the finish product only thing I probably would do is change the tow hitch on it and probably do brakes on it
This has been bloody good to watch mate. Great to see someone just havin a go without a $200 000 budget. Just grabbed a couple shirts to help out legend!
well certainly a big difference than the Army trailer, i have towed the basic trailer quite a lot many years ago. just watch the body roll on rough terrain as they will go over! a lithium battery will save you a few kg as well. great build well done..
because that's a landrover trailer it has a fixed lunette eye and the land rovers have a rotating pintle hook which is other way around to normal. normally you have a fixed pintle hook and a rotating lunette eye. the way you're setup both are fixed which won't be an issue unless you get the trailer on a steep enough side angle to bind the hitch, or worse case you roll the tralier and it tips the nissan as well or just breaks the trailer or tow bar.
Here I was pondering on doing a camper trailer out of a hilux tub and you pop up on you tube with this!?!? Must be a sign lol, can’t wait to see what’s next 👍🇦🇺
Just found your channel. Love it. This trailer is awesome. I love it. I have a new (well new to me but second hand) Suzuki Grand Vitara. It’s my daily drive but weekend warrior. Can’t wait to do more off-road stuff. Have done a couple of beach drives and fire roads of our local national parks.
Gr8 job mate, love the build & series. I have never had electric brakes, but I guess they would help control a lot better in slow, steep 4wd decent type scenario’s. Good vids. Cheers
Nice effort mate , I probably would have went a different way with the hitch , I can see circumstances where that is going to drive you utterly nuts banging around. Longer draw bar does make them nicer too tow , I’ve built and rebuilt a few trailers over the years and all of them I extended the draw bar a tad , On my caravan too , my last trip with the big old rechassised caravan it towed like it was on a laser beam for 5000 K’s , I also replaced the old brakes with nice new hydraulic brakes , ( electric would have been nice too) , so much nicer to have good trailer brakes , did you end up fitting brakes ?
Fully sick bro💪🤙🇦🇺. Well done mate looks so good. Been working on my trailer lately can’t wait to get it all workin. Go the brakes mate they make a heap of a difference. Little expensive to set up though.
Awesome job mate. I would definitely get brakes for it as legally it's only allowed to be 750kg fully loaded and if you get pulled over and weighed you'll be up shit creek. But the thing looks tough AF.
heyyy - i followed you on this one with every episode.. and yes, youve done well.. looking at you from all the way in the caribbean... awesome build series bro !!
The trailer looks good dude. I’d be more concerned about dust getting through all your shit with that back seal Unless you goin deep water crossing then it might be a muddy concern
also u could probably do with a bigger tow ball size as the hitch is supposed to cover the ring of the pintle so it can't really move outside of the ball .
Lol had to laugh as the weight for a un braked trailer is 0nly 750 agm (tare) weight. So if your trailer weighed 680kg witch is very heavy for such a small trailer . So by the time you filled your water tanks up plus minus 70kg you can't put more weight into her. Better put that beast of a girl on a strict diet lol. I recently built a 8x5 foot trailer and the sides is 450mm high and it only weighed 340kg. Good luck as it's a real pain to apply for a Vin number. Good luck.
my caravan that sleeps 6 fullly loded with off grid and three mountain bikes and 80 lt water two 9kg gas bottles is only 750 kg not having a dig just saying keep the vids comening
Is it true that coal is for sale?! I saw it on Facebook market place for sale. Such an awesome build. Trailer turned out perfect and looks wicked behind coal.
Sweet bro. Might as well throw some tie downs or rail on the lid so you can strap things to the top of it between the tent. Great project, when the white Ute getting a make over? 👌

It's crazy how quick weight adds up. Looking forward to the next video series installing brakes and upgrading the capacity! :p
Spoiler alert
For Americans: Weight is roughly 1550 lbs. Which is super light. My full size camper weighs over 7,000 pounds.
Awesome to see it fully complete and the content to come with it. Keep up the great work on the channel! 👌🏼

You should make your own camper company because what you’ve made is world class 🔥
Congratulations mate it’s definitely been an exciting build to watch. now get out there and enjoy it you and the family deserve it bud 🍻
Amazing achievement mate, you should be super-proud. Can't wait to see what you have for us next!
Congratulations. It awesome. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend.
This man setting standards! Love the build mate !
Yo, cheers legend! 🤘🤘
@@RoamLyfe anytime mate, you put a lot into it! Incredible build
So happy with the finished product. 😍

That's a cool looking ute too, mate. The cops in WA give us yellow stickers (unroadworthy) if the tyres extend beyond the flares. It sucks...

very good your videos. I'm building a camper and the information is very important.

Really enjoyed this series mate. It’s inspired my daughter and I to start building something similar together 👍🏻
If it was me, id put the tent under the frame and use that frame for a boat loader for a tinnie or kayaks or bikes 🤷♂️ thats imo
Fully sick bro💪🤙🇦🇺. Well done mate looks so good. Been working on my trailer lately can’t wait to get it all workin. Go the brakes mate they make a heap of a difference. Little expensive to set up though.
Thanks mate!! They are super expensive but I reckon it needs them hey!
I was surprised how heavy it is considering my MDC 2012 camper is unbraked from the factory. Makes me think I need to weigh it and get it braked
Looks sick brah, chuck some of that foam seal between the tailgate and that classy table
That is an awesome bit of kit mate! Looking forward to more builds 👍
Good stuff. Just for clarity it's a pintle hook and lunette ring. But you can call it a donut if you want 😉
Far out what an awesome series, looks bloody perfect 👍
Paint petrol cans same colour as grey cab 👍🏼
The hard Yakka paid off. Great job mate 👍
Thanks mate!
Awesome job mate. I would definitely get brakes for it as legally it's only allowed to be 750kg fully loaded and if you get pulled over and weighed you'll be up shit creek. But the thing looks tough AF.
Hi mate. Absolutely brilliant job, you should be proud of yourself. Give Diesel a pat for me.....!!!!!
Thanks Malcolm! Appreciate that mate!
Looks mad!. Good job🤙🇦🇺
Thanks mate!!
heyyy - i followed you on this one with every episode.. and yes, youve done well.. looking at you from all the way in the caribbean... awesome build series bro !!
Looks great man
should try some of that spray on ceramic spray might help the trailer with water
@12:43 680t!
Looks awesome, great setup, would love to have a camper like that for our trips away 🇳🇿
Nice job mate, good to see it finished!
Can’t wait to see how it goes for a trip and with a new hitch, I know those pintles can be noisey as f. 🤙🏼
Thanks mate! So keen to get it out with a new hitch!
@@RoamLyfe are you selling your patrol because i saw an add for cole on fb market
He said 680 Tone hahaha its Kgs mate but good video can't wait to see it on the tracks and camping!!!!
Yeah haha I know it was just a bit of sarcasm haha
Thanks mate!!!
This camper build has been awesome mate!
Finally the trailer is sitting loud and proud behind coal
Yeww!!
Looks awesome mate.
But don’t loose that pin that holds your hitch down.
Looking forward to the next build 👍🏽
Why don’t you look for a treg hitch on market place. You can pick them up pretty cheap on there.
Look 👀 out big red lol
you should move the trailer spare tyre to coal and free up some extra weight on the trailer 👌
💂great job well done 👏👏👏 just swap pintal to army brake pintal 👍 🍻 💂
The trailer looks good dude. I’d be more concerned about dust getting through all your shit with that back seal Unless you goin deep water crossing then it might be a muddy concern
Fkn ya. That's one bad a** trailer. Cool👍
enjoyed the build mate, well done, looks awesome behind Coal
Followed From Start Love The Trailer You Done A Awesome Job. 👏🏾👌🏾
Thanks for sticken around!! 🤘
Looks mint man, great job.
Awesome build! Really enjoyed the build videos.
mate you gotta swap those wheels for the same as you have on your car. Then it will be a matched combo!
Love all the videos mate 🤟🏽 keep it up!
My guess was 687kg's! Haha pretty close!
$35 is a bloody robbery! 😮
Yeah , inflation mate , I remember wheat used cost 20 bucks for semi , but here we are today.
Great looking rig !
Should get some shocks
Awesome trailer mate. Shame you sold the trol.
Great job on the trailer👍I’d be changing that hitch though.
Badass man
hey what brand is your front box thank you looks great
Love the trailer. Not a fan of the hitch.
Doing the same to mine at the moment. What did you paint it with?
Thought the lead looked too short
620kg
Ad during your video was McHitch auto Coupling System from Lithgow. Looks great
I seen those mchitches not badly priced too!
@@RoamLyfe 👍
When the trailer has more flex than a 79 😂
Excellent love your trailer
Why you selling the car? I saw you listed it on Facebook marketplace
Would be cool if you got a custom half canopy
Looks good mate
What’s the measurement from the ground to the top of the rear door. I’m looking at doing something similar but with a lift off canopy
Your Trailer looks like a dream! Just curious what was the build budget?
Love it
please dont rap ever again!😆
Don’t tell me my rap career is already over 😅
looks like u need a gen y hitch to lower the draw bar height and angle so u got correct tow ball weight . looks great tho ! still watching!
also imo ur hitch receiver toungue is too long and has too much wobble play in it ..
also u could probably do with a bigger tow ball size as the hitch is supposed to cover the ring of the pintle so it can't really move outside of the ball .
yeah weight is very reasonable for what you have .
looks sick ! overall ! have to go take it camping soon !
you need to talk about cost and insurance valve etc next video . well done congrats on ur build
I’ll guessing 630 mate, look great 👍🏼
Great job, trailer looks amazing👍
Thanks Adam!!
Love that build mate. Well done.🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️🍺👍
Looks great, job well done 👌

man is the ute sold? i saw it for sale. what the reason for selling it?
Loved this series keep it up brother
Thanks mate!!
my caravan that sleeps 6 fullly loded with off grid and three mountain bikes and 80 lt water two 9kg gas bottles is only 750 kg not having a dig just saying keep the vids comening
Hi there, new to the chanel, nice diy's. What wheels ( rims ) are you running on the ute and trailer ?
Looks fucking mint mate. Best trailer build series I've seen for sure
Thanks Judd! 🤘🤘
How much did the trailer cost all up?
Hey mate i loved how u make this and it inspired me to start planning out my own kinda camping rig, how much did this all cost you? Cheers
Thanks mate! Was around about 6-7k 🙌
Is it true that coal is for sale?! I saw it on Facebook market place for sale. Such an awesome build. Trailer turned out perfect and looks wicked behind coal.
Sweet bro. Might as well throw some tie downs or rail on the lid so you can strap things to the top of it between the tent. Great project, when the white Ute getting a make over? 👌
Yeah great idea!! Thank you!
weird question but if its for the family, were is ther baby gonna sit to go on trips if you take coal?
Family car inbound haha
Mate, with the price of diesel what it is right now that heavy pull up the road made my eyes water!
What size are the tyres?
Trailer looks smick 👍
Thanks mate!!
It looks mint 👌
When you doing the hard tracks
Well done mate , looks bloody awesome tc :)
Thank you Pete!
it's so small putting a canopy on tray would have given more space.
