TRAILRECON

Brad from TrailRecon Exploring Off-Road Adventures with Patriot Campers

Brad, the creator behind TrailRecon, is a passionate off-road enthusiast who shares his adventures with a global audience through his popular YouTube channel. With years of experience navigating rugged trails, Brad combines his love for the outdoors with a meticulous approach to overland vehicle builds, camping setups, and gear reviews. His channel has become a trusted resource for adventurers looking to explore the wild with the right equipment.

For Brad, off-road trailers have redefined how he travels. “Six years ago, I didn’t think a trailer was for me, but everything changed when I started using one. Now, it’s an essential part of my setup.” Over the years, Brad has relied on Patriot Campers to enhance his adventures, starting with the X3. Known for their durability and off-road capability, Patriot Campers have allowed Brad to explore further, stay longer, and enjoy the comforts of home while camping in remote locations.

In his most recent adventures, Brad’s Patriot Campers X3 GEN2 has been a standout companion. Designed for the demands of overland travel, the X3 complements Brad’s mission of inspiring others to get outside and experience the beauty of the backcountry.

PATRIOT CAMPERS X3 GEN2

“Six years ago, I never thought I’d be using an off-road trailer, but now I can’t imagine adventuring without one,” Brad from TrailRecon shares.

For Brad, the X3 is more than just a trailer—it’s his base for every adventure. “Regina and I have spent so many nights in the X3. Whether it’s raining or freezing, it’s always a comfortable spot to relax and recharge. This new GEN2 model has been completely redesigned, and it’s such an upgrade from the previous version.”

Electric Roof

“The electric roof is a game-changer,” Brad explains. “Setting up used to take a bit of effort, but now you just press a button, and it’s done. Even better, you can do it with the remote. It’s so quick and smooth—it really makes life easier.”

Internal Living Space

“The inside is so well done. The bed is comfortable, the storage is smart, and there’s plenty of room to move around,” Brad says. “We’ve had rainy nights where we just stayed inside, played cards, or had a meal, and it never felt cramped.”

The upgraded cushions and LED lighting add to the experience. “There’s plenty of headroom too, even for someone tall like me. It’s a really nice space to hang out in when you need to.”

Central Locking

“The central locking system is such a great feature,” Brad explains. “No more messing with padlocks or worrying about whether everything is locked up. One button, and it’s all secure. It’s super convenient and gives you peace of mind.”

Canvas and Awning

“The canvas is tough, and the 270-degree awning is brilliant,” Brad says. “We’ve used it in heavy rain, and it holds up great. It’s perfect for cooking or relaxing outside while staying dry.”

Kitchen

“The kitchen redesign is really smart,” Brad says. “It’s easier to set up now, and there’s more table space for cooking or drying dishes. The stainless steel surfaces are tough and easy to clean, and the storage is well thought out.”
The one-handed operation of the kitchen slide is another favourite. “It’s the little things like that which make it so much better.”

Manufacturing

“You can tell how much thought goes into the design and construction,” Brad says. “The materials are durable, and everything feels like it’s built to last. Patriot Campers really knows how to make a tough trailer.”

Storage

“The storage in the X3 is incredible,” Brad says. “There’s space for everything—gear, supplies, you name it. The molle panels are handy, and the drawers and compartments make it easy to keep everything organised.”

Electrical (Redarc TVMS)

“The electrical system is awesome,” Brad says. “The Redarc TVMS makes it so easy to manage power, and I love that I can control everything from my phone. The rock lights are a nice touch too—they’re great for setting up camp at night.”
The 300Ah battery system and solar panel give him confidence on longer trips. “It’s reliable and keeps everything powered up, even when we’re off the grid for days.”

Utilities (Water Tank)

“The 40-gallon water tank is plenty for Regina and me,” Brad says. “I really like the external water fill—it’s easy to access and secure. Having enough water on hand is a big deal, and this setup makes it simple.”

Construction

“This trailer is tough as nails,” Brad says. “From the chassis to the suspension, everything is built to handle the toughest conditions. You can see the care and attention to detail in every part of it.”

“The X3 makes life on the road so much easier,” Brad says. “It’s comfortable, practical, and packed with features that really improve the camping experience.”
