Today is Part 4 of the DIY Truck Camper / Utility Shell Project. In the video I'll show how I welded the aluminum door frame, added hardware, hinges, insulation, aluminum 'skin' and installed the rear access door on the truck camper.
Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any questions you might have!
-Joe
Also, a big thank you to Industrial Metal Supply for partnering with me on this project and supplying the metal that you'll see me using along the way!

Thank you Joe for the kind words about Dad. He would always remind us to check out what you were up to and shared in many ideas/projects you had. He was a great man. Next time you're in Utah let me know, I'd love to treat you and your family to lunch. Maybe a Firehouse tour. Thanks again Joe, you are a class act sir.

@homesteadonomics 4 месяца назад

Your dad was an incredible man and you kids and his grandkids are proof of the wonderful legacy he’s left. I know he’s looking down warmly upon all his Drew family😊🙏

@BigSkyAtNight 4 месяца назад

Thank you so much for the dedication/tribute Joe. He loved corresponding with you and watching what you’re up too. You’re definitely a kindred spirit ❤. He was also very proud of you & everything you’ve done. You absolutely are an honorary Drew 😁.

@homesteadonomics 4 месяца назад

Well it was the least I could do. I so appreciated chatting with him over the years, hearing all of his ideas and also hearing him dote on his kids and grandkids! Your dad was a special man and I know he is looking down on his family with so much love!

Just a suggestion: You could put a strip of weatherproof LED tape...or even a battery powered LED bar...in the recess above the door to have lighting to get up/in & down/out at night. Some of the battery powered bars only come on at night and have motion activation and can be recharged easily with USB power. My sincere condolences for the loss of your friend and to his family. He sounds like he was a really awesome guy.

Mr. Joe, I am happy to say that you did a awesome job on your work/camping storage unit. It looks great just like all of your other projects that you have done on RU-vid. The pictures that you showed looks like you had a very good family time, and I am happy to say God has blessed you and your family. I am also sorry that you lost a friend and longtime subscriber. Thank you for sharing and God Bless you and your family. 🥰👍👍👍👍👍(🌹🐞🦂🌵)

Lol Love the first comment. 😂 Hey howdy y'@ll, what up peeps! Big shout out to my second home and love- Arizona and my homies! I really appreciate all the help my momma n family received on this cancer journey! We are Cured!!! Thank you! Joe, you continually impress this viewer ( and all viewers, I think that passerby on here) with your diligence, creativity, work ethic, and passion. Very awesome. Now if only we could get another live in there 😂. Cmon y'all, help me out here. Live👏, live👏, live👏,.....🤪 P.S. very beautiful tribute and my condolences to the family.🧸🌹

@homesteadonomics 4 месяца назад

Wow…I’m so glad to hear about your mom and you being cancer free! Blessings to you both! As for another live….it will come. I just keep coming up with excuses i guess…haha. But if you keep reminding I will eventually get to it😊🙏

@DannySawyer60 4 месяца назад

This is the very subject that I've been waiting on, going back and forth on what type of door to use on my build, security is the main concern, Appreciate the videos!

@homesteadonomics 4 месяца назад

Glad this was pertinent to your build! I’m very happy with how it came out…..BUT, depending on the size of your build I’d also look on eBay or used sites for RV doors. That’s what I used on my travel trailer project and was pretty much a turn key install and I didn’t have to finagle with making that large hand lockset fit….because one was already installed🤪

@fredjordway5211 4 месяца назад

You are a real craftsman. I'm waiting for you to build an airplane, and gyroplane. I know you could ! You use the VHB tape on the camper skins, could it be used to hold a roof top carrier on the camper at highway speeds ? How does the 3M VHB tape compare with EternaBond tape ? Do you have any plans for a roof top carrier to support a solar panel and perhaps a solar water heater ?

@catgynt9148 4 месяца назад

Another great episode in your series. Question, in your next installment can you show if access ladder is folded up with the tale gate closed? From the camera angle I cannot determine if there is sufficient room to close the gate with the ladder attached. Great photos of your family and your road trip. Thanks for sharing them with us. Wishing you and your family a blessed week filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather. Peace brother

@bryanford1139 4 месяца назад

5:37 Beauty of a job here dude! buuuut..sorry to be the bearer of bad news fella... If you've used stainless steel hardware for those hinges and such without anti-seize (thought I saw blue locktite)...you're likely never going to be able to remove them without breaking most of them. SS hardware generally will gall when you go to reverse it off. Hopefully you get lucky.

@CKKnifeandTool Месяц назад

Like the hat. Would have been nice to connect while you were up this way. The build looks good. What boot you sporting by the way? I been wearing Danners for quite a while because I like how the slip in and stay snug.

@markb.1259 4 месяца назад

Very nice dedication Joe! Sorry for the loss of your friend. Do you plan to create some type of lock to lock the tailgate from being closed? It would be a bad situation for some punk to quietly close your tailgate while y'all were closed inside the camper.

@jaystewart9947 4 месяца назад

@dsmmike95 4 месяца назад

Looks grate so where do i places my order for one? Lol. Was it hard to learn to weld aluminum?

@homesteadonomics 4 месяца назад

Thank you! And yes it does take more time to getting the hang of aluminum versus steel which is easier to get a good weld, in my opinion. Which is why I did the main frame out of steel. But for smaller projects like this door I find it worth the extra hassle.

@milanagel 4 месяца назад

Great Job Joe. Loving it. What settings do you use for welding the Alu? And do you use gas to weld the Alu? You make it look so simple.

@johnhunter273 4 месяца назад

Awesome build! Do you have a step to make the jump into the camper?

@garywillis3617 4 месяца назад

This thing is turning out great! I do have a question about something that I may have missed. How do you secure the camper to the truck?

@TheMotor29 4 месяца назад

just thought...was a solid stainless piano hinge ever a consideration for the door instead of several hinges?

@weedwacker1716 4 месяца назад

Got any plans related to security? Just going to go with the old hasp and padlock?

@homesteadonomics 4 месяца назад

For the door itself? It’s got a lock in the RV latch…which isn’t bombproof for sure…haha. The outside compartment doors will ultimately be eliminated as entry points once the tool compartments get built… so there won’t be access via those. But I don’t know really for sure. So I’m definitely open to ideas too if you don’t mind throwing them my way.😊👍

@ozmanfidaar6311 3 месяца назад

Nice work, brother. Curious how much the camper weights? Thanks!

@조아유-o3w 4 месяца назад

👍

@Pinned-ys2po 4 месяца назад

Noticed you’re using an aluminum spool gun on the door. What was the reasoning for doing the camper frame out of steel when you could’ve used that spool gun and done it out of aluminum?

@homesteadonomics 4 месяца назад

Mostly just because steel is more forgiving to get good welds and I’m more confident with that structurally speaking. Getting good penetrating welds with aluminum is a little more tricky and if no done correctly can result in welds that will weaken easily with vibration. So for smaller projects and non structural things I’m more confident with the spool gun. But for the large framing it’s just more of a comfort factor. Additionally when considering weight, it actually isn’t all that much when you consider the 14/16ga steel I used versus the 1/8” thick wall aluminum tubing I would use. But eventually I’ll start doing larger things out of aluminum😊👍

Hi man! That is an absolutely gorgeous door you made. I have a couple of questions: 1. What is the material of the door frame? IS it aluminum? 2. What kind of welder do use to weld this aluminum frame? Thank you!
