Talk about holding its value, 50k miles and already seeing 60% of its new retail value on the first day of the auction. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Thank you, Kevin. Man, you're an AWESOME narrator, cameraman, and storyteller. AWESOME Indeed! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. You're living the dream! Many a dream I must say. Being bedridden myself, you've given me the freedom to roam, to breathe, and to be in awe of indescribable beauty. Happy tears as I thank you from my heart of hearts. Bless You & I Hope your turtleback gets top dollar. Pray you, Sarah, and Caroline safe travels, today and every day!
The best walk-around I have viewed in a very long time. Hope you get what you expect for it.
This is seriously the best product video that I have seen in a long time. Well done. Wish I could afford it, I would totally buy it off of you. Keep up the good work.
Best walk around ever and extremely well planned and thought through setup. The Mrs and I have been drooling over ol' TB for the past few years and imagined ourselves spending a few months with it in the Kruger National Park. I can see why you would wanna start your full time adventures with it. Won't be making a bid from South Africa 🤠 but we hope it finds another loving family.
That’s a perfect trailer! It’s been a rough couple weeks without an adventure video! Hope your back soon! You’re the reason I started my adventures and channel! 500 subs is crazy to me! I’m hoping to follow in your footsteps! That’s why I’m working 70+ M-F!!!!
Really innovative, custom made Turtleback Trailer loved it..
Excellent presentation. You explained everything very well.
Great walk through, excited to see what's next for y'all!
Thanks! Glad you found it informative!
speaking of whats next.... do we know whats next Kevin? or is it a surprise??
Always a surprise 😉👍
ok I'll stay tuned 😎
@@LifestyleOverland 🤙🤙
Amazing overview and so many memories to be had with this beautiful rig. Your family is such a huge inspiration to me and my fiancée, looking forward to what comes down the road next for your new adventures! Wishing you all the very best! Whoever is the next lucky owner of her is going to have one amazing piece of adventure
I love the HDPE building material...good to keep in mind ;)
A fantastic camping trailer. I like it more than the Patriot Camper. Can't beat the rear setup of the kitchen and spare wheel.
Canada loves your Channel.
We love Canada! Can't wait to get back!
End of an era......but there´s allways still more to explore. Stay safe and have fun
good luck with the sale!
Can't wait to see what's next guys 👍🏻
You are quite the salesman. :)
Ive watched you and your family in that trailer the last couple years! The new owners will be lucky!! Not sure what your new project is, but I see you guys in a big Ram and a flatbed popup camper! :). I know your love for the Yoda's may never allow that sort of thing, but its kinda perfect for ya! Cheers!!
The want is STRONG!
58 Bids and Sold! Sold! Sold! for $31,034.00 This is fantastic. It shows how well the TB trailer holds its value.
Damn awesome set up good luck with the sale tho should be quick for a damn awesome trailer
Both my wife and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your videos. I have especially enjoyed watching your daughter grow up, as it reminds me of taking my daughter on many hikes and camping trips in Washington. What will you be replacing this trailer with. Best wishes to all of you.
I wish I was articulate as you are. Great video as always.
Great video. Greetings from Costa Rica
Great video showcasing your trailer. All your videos are an inspiration. New trailer on its way? And do you have a vinyl wrap on your 4Runner?
wow... wish we had stuff like this in UK... id be off..👍🇬🇧... What is the plan now? 2 4x4 permanently?
Somebody is going to get a trail proven trailer that has a terrific history!!
My wife and I have been watching your adventures for a couple years now. I'm getting close to retirement and would love to do some overlanding. This trailer looks perfect for the two of us plus our medium sized pups. I have just started looking for equipment. We have an xterra that would likely work with a trailer. But I don't know how much it would cost to build something like what you have there. It looks amazingly well thought out. How much did it cost to build? Did you spec it out? I'll check again for the builder, don't know if I can spring this kind of money tho.
Can I ask what awning set up you did for the camp kitchen? I just picked up my TB trailer last week and I went with an electric rooftop tent, which would not allow me to use a standard 270 awning. My camp kitchen is not covered from the elements and it looks like you came up with a solution.
What kind of tire shine did you use? Those tires look phenomenal
Kevin why did you auction it off ? WOW ! Carolines hair hasn't gotten really long . Her hair is beautiful .
You guys need to try northern Saskatchewan when restrictions are over.
I'm just one eensy lottery victory way from owning this! :)
Yay!
No more Alaskan trip? Is your family growing to auction your trailer off?
Awesome
This has served y'all well. That's for sure.
Absolutely! Ready for another 50k!
Finally get that Motorhome? Don't recall a solution to that debacle...
What are you guys getting next
That trailer has better suspension then my 4runner
Love from India
Baaaaauuuuuuhhhhhhtttt WHATS NEXT!!?? 😂😎
I like your turtleneck how I can get one like this one
show!
Interesting.
If it sells right, you should just keep making them and selling them.
😎👍
Geeze starting bid at a dollar and it’s already going for 20k . Wow great for you guys for sure. I just dont understand that people dont get how ebay works 😂
Reserve met! She's gonna sale now!
Hi rhere! New sub here.. Like the video .look fwd to watching more
Can a 2019 2 door rubicon tow this?
Check your tow ratings and be mindful of your overall weight but many people do indeed tow these with 2 door jeeps 👍
We pull ours with a 4-Door Rubicon and 4:88 gears. Just completed a 6,000 mils trip through Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas. Fuel millage was 10.5 MPG.
حلو ماشاءالله 😍😍
🙋💕
kind of sad...started watching this channel like about 3 years ago cuz it featured a trailer...now what am I to do...
Stay tuned 😉👍
@@LifestyleOverland I will.....hard-sided square-drop something like mine maybe? ... BirdPhish
Why are you guys selling the trailer? We love ours!!! If the current bidder gets this trailer for $20,100 that's well less than half the cost of a new one. At 50,000 mils this trailer is just getting started. Good Luck but seriously why get rid of it?
We want to try a lot of different styles of travel. Has nothing to do with the trailer at all, just need to fund the next build 👍
Wish I could afford it 😪
ผมชอบรายการในข่องคุณมากๆพึ่งเริ่มดูได้สัปดาห์กว่าๆผมอยู่ ประเทศไทย รถที่คุณลากจูงโตโยต้ารุ่นอะไรครับเป็นเบนซิลหรือดีเซลแล้วรถพ่วงคุณราคากี่บาทครับถ้าผมซื้อได้อุปกรณ์ที่ติดรถแบบทุกอย่างเหมือนคุณใหมครับขอทราบราคา
Way to expensive
Should have raffled it instead. That way my $5 ticket could lose to the rich dude who buys 532 tickets just to "play the odds".
Too many legal hoops for raffles and not enough time. 🤷
That’s a perfect trailer! It’s been a rough couple weeks without an adventure video! Hope your back soon! You’re the reason I started my adventures and channel! 500 subs is crazy to me! I’m hoping to follow in your footsteps! That’s why I’m working 70+ M-F!!!!
Sub'd ya'll to help you out
