WE HAVE A STRUCTURE!
In this episode, I erect the upper-portion of my DIY truck camper structure, which sits above my Toyota Tacoma bed line.
Thank you to everyone who has been watching. It's really cool to get messages that some of you have begun builds of your own!

DISCLAIMER: My designs are based off Casual Turtle Campers and the YT user @ENDGAME. I am a complete beginner when it comes to woodworking. After finding @ENDGAME's channel, I became obsessed with the idea of building my own, and set out to do so, knowing it wouldn't be easy, but still believing it possible. My goal with this series is to hopefully show others (with zero experience, like me) that building a truck camper is possible no matter where your resources lie.

Having built houses, camps and a few slide- in campers with no blueprints over the years found that if you're not making mistakes you're not learning. I make them every day. Great job nice to see young folks trying hard and learning how to work it out and not giving up .

what you are doing is a tough build, I have built over 200 teardrops and I have found its best not to over think things, you don't need to have such drastic angles to shed water because the truck won't be perfectly level especially when you store it, "keep it simple" and the build we be more enjoyable. keep it up :)

Thanks! It’s been 4 years since I finished this build. Was a great experience and the camper is still holding up well!

@Hunterhunter-ir9nz 3 года назад

You did a great job. You don’t need to apologize! Everyone screws up. The pro’s are just better at hiding or fixing it!

I've watched several of your videos and I really like your tub design and the arches for the roof. The bedliner looks good. I'm in the early planning stages of designing a camping pod that will slide into my 7x13 Karavan utility trailer. I'll be "painting" the entire exterior with bedliner. Good looking camper!

Thanks for the kind words! My design is heavily inspired by (if not a replica of) the original camper by @ENDGAME. You should check his videos out, and good luck with your build!

Perfect symmetry! Looks great. I'll be using your wing brace/reinforcement on my design. I'm in the early planning stages of designing a camping pod that will slide into my 7x13 Karavan utility trailer. 🤓👍💯

I commend you good sir for documenting and building. I can barely mange just building my build let alone film and edit lol

@brandoconklin 3 года назад

Much appreciated! It has been difficult at times, but fun as well. Hoping others can learn from my successes and mistakes in their own builds.

@smwon1 4 дня назад

Do you show how to do it right in purchased plans?

@brandoconklin 4 дня назад

I show measurements specific to my truck (but easily adjusted to your own needs) and how everything is assembled step-by-step

Next time you build 1. Frame 2. Siding...simple.

@geographyinaction7814 3 года назад

I'm not doing a frame. Plywood, plywood bulkheads and a fiberglass skin just like they build wooden boats; lighter, stronger, more weatherproof.

@harmondraws 3 года назад

@@geographyinaction7814 can i see your build because i want to build something like this soon but i was planning on following these videos

@timtim-ef7xu 3 года назад

Unless I'm not understanding the issue...could pocket holes have worked? So as to not penetrate the plywood tub but still attach to it via the inside framing.

@brandoconklin 3 года назад

They sure could have (I believe), but, honestly, I'm not sure the idea even popped into my head at the time. Thinking about it now, I probably would have done the same thing I did end up doing, only because I wouldn't have wanted the pocket holes to show; and because I have no experience with filling (or making them), that idea might have seemed more complicated to me at the time. In the end, this was the solution that made the most sense to me, a complete novice. But great advice for anyone else who follows! Thanks, Tim!

@brandoconklin 3 года назад

I just remembered: I did try pocket holes when I came to the point of attaching my wall studs; but because they were 1.5"x1.5", I was only able to use one pocket hole, otherwise screws would have collided in the center, and just one wasn't enough strength.
