FS: The Ultimate MTB Road Trip Camper

[Roxtar]

OK, something different here.
I am selling the ultimate off-grid camper. Perfect for all your MTB road trip needs.
It is a 23' Fun Finder XT200 Toy Hauler, completely renovated to take you to almost any location with enough solar power and water to keep 2-3 people comfortable for over two weeks, including daily showers.
The toy hauler design allows you to keep the bikes locked up inside whenever you leave camp.

Special Features - All two years old:
*300watt Windy Nation Solar System with MPPT 40amp Controller
*(2) Renogy 200Ahr Deep Cell AGM Batteries
*Renogy 2000watt Inverter, hard wired into camper's 120V system
*88gallon Fresh Water Tank
*Axle Flip creating 4" additional ground clearance
*All Lighting replaced with LED
*Husky 5000# Electric Hitch Jack

Standard Features:
*Full Bathroom with Shower
*Large Kitchen Area with Four Burner Stove, Microwave, and Full Size Refrigerator
*Happijak Electric Bed Lift
*AC, Furnace, and new Hot Water Heater
*Electric Awening

My wife and I spent 10 days camped off-grid at 18 Road in Fruita, each taking daily showers. When we left we still had over 1/3 of our fresh water available.
The solar system fully charges both batteries to 100% each ady, even on cloudy days
At 3600# dry, it tows nicely. We have taken this everywhere; Moab, Sedona, Fruita, Bentonville, Crested Butte, Durango, Salida, Gunnison, etc. Never paying for lodging does not suck.
Way better than a Sprinter or any drivable RV because you can just set up a base camp, drive to wherever you want to go, and never worry about losing your camp site. No driving your "house" into town.
Being a toy hauler, it has a lot more space inside, feeling way less cramped than normal RVs. The electric bed also helps - raise it to the ceiling during the day for more space, bring it down at night to sleep.
This being TGR, I can not post pics. For pics go to PB

That is awesome. That sort of small toy hauler trailer is exactly what I was looking for when I was trailer shopping a few years ago - - electric drop down bed that can be left made up at all times, raise to ceiling to get it out of the way during daytime, lower to comfortable level (no ladder) for sleeping. Giant fresh water tank is ideal for dispersed camping (99% of my camp spots). I'd expect a toy hauler to have burlier frame and axles for holding motorized toys, so it should hold up just fine to a load of water and bicycles.

Did you set up the rear ramp extrance with a screen door? Those make for great ventilation.

Thanks and yes to the screen. Keeps things nice and breezy.
Those are the reasons I went with a toy hauler. They are so much roomier than regular campers, stronger chasis because they are built for hauling, yet light weight for the same reason.
There is a pic in the PB ad that shows it in the rocks at Hartman in Gunnison. I had no qualms over pulling it in there.

Great idea. Sprinter makes sense for that Gypsy dream trip. But for most users a trailer is cheaper to buy insure and maintain. Glwts

[unitofstuff]

That is fucking cool. I bet putting motos in the back wouldn't be any more difficult and no issues with weight either.

[evdog]

That camper looks rad. If I was ever looking for one to base camp out of it would be something like that. Where do bikes go when the bed is lowered?

Bikes get chained (1/2" square links) to a large lug welded to the rear frame where a tarp connects to the camper. This keeps them protected from weather and right below the sleeping quarters.

SOLD

[grskier]

That is exactly what we want once our kids are done camping with us.

nice build, happy to see it sold.

SOLD

What is going to replace this sold unit?

Posting here so I can find it again in the future. Rad rig. Would much prefer to travel in that than in an under powered cramped hundred thousand dollar van with no shitter/shower.</p>

That setup looks like it makes a ton of space to me. One of my buddies has been driving all over taking his kids to BMX races and is looking at getting a van, but the problem is they bring literally 9 bikes (between grownup bikes, BMX race bikes, and ??? - not sure how they get to 9 between 4 people). I saw this and suggested he get a trailer, and it was all "blah blah bad mileage, hard to park."

[ironhippy]

you cannot take 9 bikes for 4 people and then start complaining about cost and in-convinces. He needs a trailer or to downsize.

[Andeh]

Haha, yeah that's what I said.

[Roxtar]

Actually, add a four bike rack to the rear and that rig would easily take 9 bikes. It sold to a local couple who do moto.

I will post pics on PB when I take some.
Its a newer (2021) Winnebago Micro-Mini 1800BH. Its not a toy hauler, but rather a traditional style camper that is more off-road capable with HD torsion axles, larger off-road tires, and a lot of ground clearance. At 22 feet, the 1800BH model is the biggest Micro Mini without a slideout.
It also has full undercarraige covering and tank warmers for true four season use in backcountry ski season.
For bikes, I welded a 2 inch receiver to the rear frame and installed a RockyMounts GuideRail rack.
The rest of the setup is pretty similar to the last one:
I welded and plumbed in an additional 45gal fresh water tank for 81gal total.
I installed a Renogy 3 panel (300Watt) solar system feeding a Renogy 300AHr Lithium battery which pushes a Renogy 3000Watt inverter that I hard-wired into the camper&#39;s 120V system. (lotta 3s in that sentence)
Mrs Roxtar and I took it on its maiden voyage to Salida this past weekend for 5 days and it performed as good as I hoped. It was a tough, rutted, washboard, and rocky road to get to the BLM dispersed site but it pulled through (literally) without issue
The only concern is the smallish 25gal black water tank. We will have to be very mindful with that on extended trips. Upgrading the black tank is a big project that I hope won&#39;t be necessary.

My dad grew up a Michigan farm boy. I wasn&#39;t allowed to get my licence till I could back up a trailer to his accepted level of expertise.

Very cool. Did the old one come with the bed lift motor thing, how is the living space on the new one compare, what is the feasability of keeping something like that cool enough for dogs to hang out on a hot day</p>

[Hopeless Sinner]

^^^Looks like a great setup, hope you enjoy it.

[Roxtar]

Yeah, the toy hauler had the Hapijak electric bed lift. It was super nice for adding space duing the day.
The new one is much tighter living quarters since it isnt designed to accomodate side-by-sides but the space it has works very well. As for keeping things resonably cool-ish during the day, it has two static ceiling vents that I will probably change to reversable fan vents. That would go a long way in pulling hot air out of the camper and good ones are pretty efficient. Hopefully, the solar should be able to power them all day if need be. The battery monitor is nice for that because you can turn everything on and see if its still charging or now discharging.

If it fits your needs, check out the retrofit fans for ceiling vents made by Heng. They install from the inside, no need to break the roof seal. I installed one in the ceiling vent in my trailer bathroom - - I used the cheaper one without the thermostat. Was easy to wire to a nearby ceiling light for power.

They're not as powerful as the Fantastic Fan, but easy to retrofit.

Cool (no pun intended)
