Wow, your video was so good. I loved it. I'm 55, single with a dog and am looking at traveling solo camping, bikepacking etc. You inspired me. I love how you explain everything. Never a dull moment. Thank you.

Your vid made me realize how FEW female-led YT channels I have found dealing with overlanding/outdoors. Great to see the women going out on their own to adventures too! Love the trailer, thanks for the tour.

Thanks for the video! I have the Hiker Extreme-Offroad I love it and have been all over the US with it. If I can recommend using pantyhose instead of screen for your AC prep. It keeps even smaller bugs out. I also put a thin piece of wood between the mattress and door so the mattress and bedding doesn't get caught up in the door.

That’s the best breakdown I’ve seen yet on this trailer. Very nice 👍

We bought the AirStream Basecamp a few years back and there really wasn’t that much useable space. So, I sold it for a rooftop tent and I am happy that I did. I am now considering a small teardrop/square drop/adventure trailer. Mostly for organization/storage/and a nice dry place to sleep. It seems the prices for these trailers are all over the place. Hiker trailers let you customize exactly what you want without paying for all the stuff you don’t really want. So, I watched your video and the Hiker Trailer seems well built and inexpensive. I will definitely consider purchasing a Hiker Trailer as we plan to go to the Overland Expo in 2024. Thanks for making this video.

You almost lost me in the beginning as I thought this was going to be about how you threw your back out. I came back though and this was a fantastic video! I'm currently doing research and think that the Hiker is the right move. Your simple layout is exactly what I'm looking for as well so thanks for the tour!! PS Loved your mom/daughter journey 💗

[frenchielvr]

Always inspiring to see a woman going at it alone. Thank you for a great, informational video! Safe travels!

[rustythecat]

I enjoyed your most excellent tour! It was nice to see how you outfitted and use your trailer. Use of your power supply was especially helpful. Two doors is a must! Wish you well in 2024. Life is short, enjoy your life!

[odzieo]

What an excellent video! I love that you included a no nonsense approach to what you like, what you've modded and what you'd suggest. Keep adventuring!

[markadams]

This video is way more useful than the ones make by the company. Thank you and come kayaking in Alaska!

[martinkasemsan]

That deep breath is me every morning when I get up! THank you so much for this video!

I think one of the coolest mods I’ve seen in binging Hiker videos is not a slide out galley shelf, but one that attaches to the edge of the middle shelf and folds up over the galley opening. It folds down and is secured by an L-shaped brace inserted into the rear hitch. Now that I’m thinking about it, you could also do it like a drop-leaf table and allow it to drop down to close off the bottom area of the galley to help keep bugs out when you don’t need the table. I don’t have a Hiker yet but my brain is in full gear in plans of getting one eventually! Nice video. You are inspiring! Keep up the good work! Adventure On!

I'm going to order a trailer here soon, and now I'm really thinking about that open pass through now that I saw your video. Thanks for the insight.

Thanks for the trailer tour. We love our Hiker. Glad to see another Hiker owner enjoying theirs. Happy Adventuring!

Very nice. We had a hard time dedcing between Hiker and Runaway, but ended up with a 6/8 runway. We're both taller / heavier and having a nearly king sized bed is just amazing. We do have AC and we're really thankful for that too. Our 10 year old has a roof top tent mounted on our camper's roof racks. We also have a 8x8 awnings on either side. We also bought the attachable rooms for each side. We usually just attach the one on the driverside if it's just us. It's our kitchen / bathroom / changing room. If my son comes with us, we'll put the other one up for his room... so our little 6x8 camper can be 20x8 when it's fully opened up! We got our rooms from Ironman 4x4 and I'm pretty sure they'd work with your awning, they attach to the poles and go up very easily. Might be a good consideration for you instead of adding hooks and things to make a pvc room. It also adds a nice shelter in poor weather and with the heavy duty zip in floor, we've never to worry about getting stuff wet in there.

I love your set up. I can't wait to buy one. I'm obsessed.

2 thumbs up on your video. Love the simplicity of the trailer.

[angusmacdonald]

Very practical guide, thanks! I’m seriously considering buying this model of Hiker trailer.
