We love the trailer but would’ve loved for it to be a bit bigger! This one is 16ft, 20 ft would be perfect.

@DirtyJakTheDustyBean Yeah, we all tend to make that mistake at least once.

The Sportsman does most things better (power steering, ride quality, additional options, etc) but the Suzuki’s have been as advertised for their quality so far for the first 2 1/2 years on em. We’re split on a few things with the King Quad but due to the power steering alone won’t be purchasing them again when the time comes (unless Suzuki improves this drastically).

lol, thanks for stopping by.

That’s what we’re thinking. We have two RBM tents and are thinking after they each get used for a bit doing a review on how well they performed overall.

@@DirtyJakTheDustyBean That would be great! It's a huge investment. Want to see how these hold up in some real weather!

Thanks for dropping by. Please feel free to watch our trip videos!

Thanks for watching!

Even on a huge sale they are pretty expensive for sure. We didn’t know all the things we would need at first and are learning pretty quick. Having the solar cord extension and a junction box for the solar panels to go into then to the generator will be on the list in the future. For now this system works great.

lol, the electric kind!

No issue with that, a bit squeaky at times otherwise nothing out of the ordinary.

Great area to do so much! Thanks, done a lot there but haven’t hunted there yet- hopefully soon.

Thank you!

lol, the tent is a pretty easy to set up and is large enough to almost have a cabin/yurt feel to it. Thanks for watching

Thanks will look into that!

It is a huge tent for sure!

You better really be ready to do a lot of camping, if so might just be worth it. If you use it a lot you just might end up saving Money compared to renting hotel rooms, homes, etc.

Prety affordable tbh.

@noknockbluey You guys realize it just a wad of vinyl right!?!?!?

It is expensive for sure, if you’re going a lot then maybe it can be justified in price as it’s sooooo much cheaper than renting a place.

lol, yep just some vinyl and fabric. For our situation it has worked very well as rentals have got so expensive and hard to get.

Thank you! So far we love these inflatable tents.

We didn’t have any issue with the tent smelling like smoke. The stove exhaust well and the tent is vented just in case a little smoke drifts in while loading more wood in the stove.

Thanks for stopping by! The rug is 8’x10’. Here is the Amazon link for the rug: amzn.to/3M7IQhf

@@DirtyJakTheDustyBean Great, thanks for the swift response,, great video!! Hope you enjoyed the setup

Thank you! We had the wheel chocks before this and thought they were great, we like these a bit more as they are a bit more versatile.

That’s a bit above what we know how to diagnose.

I could definitely see some of that being very nice for the right use. We were looking very strong at the trailer attachments, specifications as well as trailer quality. This trailer has more than met our expectations on quality but we are finding we are quickly outgrowing it. Next time a little longer and has to have the capability of holding a large front toolbox. Thanks for watching!

So much to do in the area, we didn’t realize the hiking was there just stumbled on it. That would’ve been a site to see someone riding the sink holes back in the day. Thanks for watching!

Sorry to hear about this.

With one trip on it: the 250 wh ICECO battery is nice to have but only going to last so long - figuring 12-24 hours. It’s nice when charging another battery, day trips, moving the cooler around (setting up camp, etc). Depending on the batteries you use the 250wh ICECO may not be comparable to some of the latest and greatest out there. We were glad we had it. The cooler performed very well for us on a four day camping trip. The cooler easily ran on a smaller electric power station, the 250 wh Iceco battery and a larger 2000 wh power station. The cooler only seemed to use a bit more power draw in the heat of the day. It was pretty quiet and easy to use. So far one trip in and we like it, we shall see as we use it more and more.

@@DirtyJakTheDustyBean ok thanks for the update

Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching

Forgot about that one, would be nice for major storms also! Thanks for watching

Thank you!

Good question, we like the Koala for cooler/cold weather more as it has the two rooms and we find we spend a lot more time in it in the cold. The Octopus is our go to (as of now anyway) in the warmer weather and if we want to have great views outside the tent (rivers, snow, forest, mountains, etc) as this tent tends to let the outside in better. With having these for a little bit now we would be happy with either but maybe lean towards the Octopus a bit more if we had to pick just one today.

lol, thanks Jay! Took a 4 day camping trip with it and loved it!

@@DirtyJakTheDustyBean Remember when we used to bury our 5 gal water jugs in the ground so we could get a drink of water that was under 100 degrees? Come a long way Sir!

We sure have!

Thank You! Been thinking about checking the temp that way, may do it on the next trip out with it.

Thank you!

Lol, go to approximately 13.20 and it looks to hold very close to 72 beers at one time.

Haha! I was 2 mins away from that point in the video when you replied 😂😂

We loved it and had a great time around the flooding! We gave a Quick Look at Clear Lake and Jackson and hope to make it to those in the future. We love the area from Black Lake, Atalanta down to Mio/Lewiston.

In good weather it takes just a few minutes to deflate, roll up and put away (let’s say 10 minutes). When it’s cold out the tent gets stiff and harder to work with then it will take 15-25 minutes and not roll up as good and hard to get in bag.

Kik

Hi thanks for watching! We did a quick video on the stove when we got it, so far has been a very nice stove.

Depends on the trail for sure. Most of these trails during our visits were pretty well maintained and fun to ride. There is definitely some other areas in the State that have great riding places that are also pretty well maintained.

Thank you for watching! Nice campground, lake and trails!

We were impressed with the routes during our stay, they were excellent. The 50 inch or less were whooped pretty bad almost the whole trail, were there in early to Mid June 2024.

@@DirtyJakTheDustyBean he headed up that first week of June so I’m really surprised it was that bad. I groom trails too so I’m always watching your videos for your reviews! Loggers is amazing for dinner too great atmosphere and great prices food.

@@Lupis1437 I got off the trail as the whoops were starting to get to me. The local restaurants were fantastic, very fun area. We don't get to that area much, usually more north but absolutely loved the campground and all the people we met during our stay -- great group of people for sure!

@@Lupis1437 Thank you for watching our videos!

Foldable step stool works perfectly for us. We can open and close the windows and put the lights up after the tent is fully inflated.

We took it on a trip and it got cold and snowed and did not lose any air! We have watched videos where these tents have lost air so may happen to us in the future or upcoming winter.

Thank you Jay! We think about you and your family often! Would love to cruise in your off road vehicle one day! Beautiful scenery in your area!

@@DirtyJakTheDustyBean Would totally love that Brotha!

Funny you say that about the coolers, we just ordered a electric fridge (Ice Co) and a portable power station from Jackery. Were hoping this can help us get off grid a little easier for a little longer! The area was 10/10 for the routes (maybe dirt bikes but not positive on that) but the 50 inch or less were not good at all during our stay. We would go back for the camping, restaurants as we had a great time but the riding on ATV's if you like 50 inch or less was toward the bottom compared to other 50 inch or less. The routes we exceptional (maybe we caught some grooming, who knows) so we had a great time riding overall. Clear Lake is on our list for sure, not sure if we will get there before they shut down this year, hopefully we do.

@@DirtyJakTheDustyBean we have a cabin in St. Helen which has a lot of awesome 50” trails so sometimes we go places and they aren’t as good! If you’re ever in the St. Helen area just PM we and we can ride with you guys!!

@@redkelly8552we love St. Helen. We need to make our way there soon.

Thanks Scott! Haven’t rode in Ohio yet actually never caught our radar to ride there. It came up to put together a ride last year while out on the trails (your channel came up in the discussion) but we didn’t do it as we figured we were not a big enough channel to swing that. Maybe we try it this year, who knows….

@@DirtyJakTheDustyBean I had some reliability issues with my quad last year with close to 5,000 miles. A problem prevented us from riding on our annual June 2023 trip. Lucky we had the canoe and could paddle the Manistee in its place! Anyway, I did not want to risk other trips that would potentially cause problems for others. Earlier this month, I purchased a second quad, a 2022 Canam 650 XT with 67 miles for about half the price of new. I am back in the game!

Thank you! Will do

Thank you! We are hoping to get out and meet more people in the camping/off roading community. So far we join other groups rides and maybe someday will be able to have a camping/riding weekend if we grow enough!

It is very rare to see a bear for us overall, we have had them in the campgrounds north of Newberry otherwise other than a quick glimpse nothing in many years. We keep all our food in our car when we’re not using it just to be on the safe side. Last year people on the campsite across from us had a bear come to their site and take their food that was left out on the picnic table. For us out on the trails way off the beaten path we watch out for Moose a bit more as we don’t want to stumble on one in a tight trail.

@DirtyJakTheDustyBean Ok, thank you so much for your response. We really like the octopus tent and are really considering purchasing it. We had a beautiful travel trailer and decided to sell after 6 yrs. Although we loved it, they are a lot of maintenance and can get quite costly, so we sold it. We are missing camping so much that we have been researching inflatable tents, and so far, the octopus is our favorite.

@denisedelgado5515 ​​⁠so far we love it! We do have a link in the description below the video if you choose to purchase it- will help you or us at some point (lol- we are new at this). There is good and bad for both campers and tents. One thing we love about the tent is when we’re not using it we don’t have to worry about it at all (no maintenance, no insurance, storage fees, etc). It sits in our basement until we go out again. Been great, almost kinda puts everyone who has been in it in awe!

We were also, lol! A couple of years later and still love this system!

Thank you!

No issue at all, easy dirt road leads to trailhead parking lot.
