Great video. Looking to get a trailer next year and this was helpful
LOVE your cushions! Did you cover the existing or replace them entirely?
These were great tips and comparisons!!! Thanks!
love your vibes do yall snowboard or skateboard? i sense that in you
You tow with a 4 runner……All I hear from Facebook is you should not tow with anything less than a truck……How does it tow/setup
Great video.
Does the 4runner struggle towing this?
Great Video… Tell Brett I said Hi..
If you aren’t charging while towing you need to set up for dc/dc charging. Easiest way to keep charged.
What was your trailering set up like? Did you use a towing stabilizer hitch? If so? which one?
Hold on girl: if you went out in a van for a couple of days and hated it immediately counts.
Great video! I just signed the paperwork on a Basecamp 16X today! (Towing w/ my 4Runner!) and will be living in it full-time within a couple months. I was going through the van vs. Basecamp thing myself for quite a while. The two things that really pushed me to get the Basecamp were more space (able to keep bikes in the 4Runner w/out impacting living space), and the ability to detach and drive the 4Runner separately. Maybe I’ll run into you out there!
What a great video, especially about the benefits of being detachable and having space for each other! 👏🏻
Really interesting video! Would love to see a comparison on expenses: trainer life vs. apartment life – like the "what I spend in a week" but comparing the two – would be interesting.
Thank you! This video was do helpful. I am currently trying to decided If I should do a trailer or trade my suv for a van.
Based on experience, what works you say is more gas friendly?
just bought a 23 trailer
