An unbelievable amount of thought , planning and precision organization has gone into this homemade rig . The owner is meticulous and very precise in every way as you listen to his description of his awesome camper. Thanks for sharing... be safe and be well. 🚐💨

@thomaskessinger2114 4 года назад

Dave, this is so impressive! I just love how easily accessible everything is. Good call having a drawer just for the electrical system, so that way, repairs can be made with plenty of space to reach around in. The woodwork is absolutely fantastic, especially the door. The sink is brilliant, being able to remove to tank to fill again and again as well as the motorcycle oil pan drain, again, easily removable to dump the waste water. It's also neat with how you can just fold up the bed in order to use the truck for cargo purposes. Excellent use of space too! You did such nice work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@goinrowin2946 4 года назад

Wow! That’s a nice build. The oil drain pan for a sink is very clever. Thanks for sharing.

@ry2456 3 года назад

‘‘This is a prettier, slightly more fancy version of what I want to build for weekend to week long solo (without the family) exploration trips to recover from daily life. I realized that some other guys look forward to long hunting trips to recoup etc. Just because I never caught the hunting bug doesn’t mean I can’t do similar. Yes a tent works, but if I am not backpacking, why spend all the time and hassle setting up tents etc.

@SeagoGuitarist 4 года назад

That sink solution is such a smart idea. There's a lot of efficency in this man's build but I've seen so many people with camper converts that take up obnoxious amounts of space and require extreme amounts of faff for a countertop sink. This makes it seem like a waste of time. Easily transportable and takes up very little space. Cool!

This is a beautiful, compact, comfortable and cosy little Travel Cabin with everything for good living contained within its gorgeous walls! The ergonomics are great and details like the fresh and grey water system and slide out electrical cabinet are extremely neat, likewise the wide door and lifting bed panel giving access to the load deck! It's lovely to see such a uniquely distinctive and well outfitted Travel Cabin that's off road capable and I couldn't imagine a nicer base camp than this to boondock in.

@dianeadkins1281 3 года назад

My dad built one like this when I was a kid back in the 60's so us kids would be safe and warm when traveling to Louisiana to visit my mom's sister it was just the shell no cabinets or kitchen, some guy saw it and stopped by to ask to buy it dad needed the money so he sold it, ever sense home made campers were being seen

@spacepilot12 2 года назад

Nice! The new hybrid Ford maverick pickup coming out should be a top seller...but there are no truck campers that will fit. It gets 40mpg, so you don't want to destroy that, and with a 1500 pound load limit so it can't be too heavy. It has a 400 watt 110 volt power plug. This would be perfect! Now someone needs to manufacture them for those of us that aren't as talented.

@ChristinaColoradoan 4 года назад

@carolhewett3756 4 года назад

The 5 day Coleman ice chest is equal to a $500.00 Yeti plus if you kept your ice in clean containers, you've got drinking water when it melts. If you are traveling you are stopping at a gas station with ice at least 2x a day. A Dometic is not necessary if you are on a tight budget.

@MaureenTheTemp 4 года назад

This is an amazing build, like that he thought about making the camper aerodynamic and thought about being able to still haul large items. And the water setup is genius.

In addition to micing his guests, he needs to reduce the volume of the interlude music. The music was too loud and the guest too quiet.

If I had a channel I would encourage them to show their rigs, THEN I would have them get in and demonstrate their daily activity such as getting around in the rig, setting up and getting into the bed so we can see the true energy that goes into the logistics and size comparison of their rig/bed etc.

@30smsuperstrat 3 года назад

Just a FYI on building wood campers like this. Look up the history of the old woody cars. Jay Leno has some real good info on them. No matter how well you seal wood it changes with humidity and temperature. You will get shrinkage and expansion in normal conditions. In extreme conditions it may be troublesome. Just something to consider.

@Rick_Sanchez_C137_ 3 года назад

SMSuperstrat unless you epoxy the whole thing inside and out... (IF you plan on doing that, build it in the desert with wood dried out to the desert standard so that you have no humidity sealed inside the epoxy). There is a build on RU-vid, a guy built a RV on an old truck chassis... he said it worked perfectly because he “built it like a boat.” He was in the right path, lots of 50 year old wood or wood and fiberglass boat hulls out there still floating....

@secondact7151 4 года назад

@@joelincolnlincoln6315 We will all get it, but the personal and socially responsible thing is to not be part of the first wave that can overwhelm the medical community and the morticians. Why would you want to be an early virus adopter? Let the medical community find and fine tune treatments. Why would you want to unknowingly bring home death to your family? All the media and government hype saying this only effects those other people (older, pre existing, fat, etc) was just so you wouldn't panic and sell your stocks and stop spending money and crash their economy before they sold their stocks. Don't be an early adopter. Listen between the media narrative.

Cozy build for weekend getaway.. ya sink is good if you dump it regularly, otherwise it will stink, better to just use a tub under water and just toss outside when finished. Cleaner, easier, and with no smells... otherwise keep bleach and swish around to clean regularly. Thanks for the video nice to see this truck camper option, and all the storeage options.

Dani Adams Hi Yes that's probably a better alternative. Do you also have a camper and if so which one ?

@RolandoNispiros 4 года назад

@markconger8049 4 года назад

To the gentleman who is featured in the video - you should really consider making plans available for your build. If you have some alternate configurations make those available as well. I believe you could sell those. Maybe make an overall summary plan available for free and sell the detailed one with measurements and materials list. Also, include your power design. The statement made about vehicle alternator charging being better than solar needs to be pointed out in the plans because people probably think just the opposite. Great build!

The cedar wood exterior looks great, but I would opt for a more traditional camper fiberglass or aluminum exterior which would be more weather resistant, but also less "conspicuous" when it comes to bored law enforcement, but more importantly prying eyes and thieves. Also, it would be much lighter.
