DIY TRUCK CAMPER / DODGE DAKOTA / PART 1 

Welcome to the World of SixPac campers. They built using the same system. Good job. Bob

The gloved hand under the plywood while sawing made me cringe…. But great video!

I have a dodge Dakota 99 I use it for welding... Nice 👍🏼

Great job love your video and I never thought about insulation on the floor I thought about it on the walls and the ceiling and never the floors great job guys great job

The part I like, and attracted me the quickest, was how the (I don't know how to explain it well) the part that goes lateral just above the side of the truck bed: the walls. I like the fact that it was cantilevered, with two uprights per side. That makes me think it's a lot stronger than everybody else's type of build. And won't shake apart as bad going down the road. I have drawn up plans for at least three or four different slide-in campers. I've yet to build one. I did turn a huge school bus into a motorhome, with my father's help. And he and I built an RV from a step van. I currently live in a sleeping room. I don't have access to a place to work on such a project, or I would build one for my pickup truck. There's another build on here, that also is by a father-son team. My favorite part of that slide-in camper is the top-hinged, rear, half-size door. "Truck home Switzerland" (all one word) is the name. I thank you for the some good videos.

The build and music! Tip top!!

I just started my truck camping its so much fun.This video is big help in my future projects or up grade on my camper.

Right away I new it was not Canada -- we cant find straight lumber 😂 The 2nd clue it was not North America - metric! Canada is metric but we still do alot of building in Imperial. 3rd clue it was European - torq head screws - nice, but no one using them here that Ive seen. Looking good - I would have glued and screwed! Looking forward to next vid 😁 Cheers

Aswesome ! Love to see creativity become a true genuine and unique reality in the making of camper shell ..let, your mind guide your own sweet ideas..great work !!

very good your videos. I'm building a camper and the information is very important.

Very clean

Bud, never cut with your fingers on the underside of something. They will go missing. I've been a carpenter for over 40 years, trust me.

Beautiful

Sweet! I’m making a truck camper my self … so far a 20 part video series lol… still lots to come … nice build

Well made!

bien...........................hermoso.

What has surprised me is only using screws? I've built a lot of projects in my life including boats and always used screws and glue. Screws come loose.....

It would be much better if the loud rock music was turned down and more voice explaining the build

Ottimo lavoro bravo 👏👍🎞

Good tune. Justin Johnson?

좋은 것 배웁니다

Why the 350 blocks? Just curious

Awesome music. Thanks so very very very much for sharing this knowledge and wisdoms with me 🇨🇱❤️

nice foam lining on the bottom, i would assume thats for insulation

I have a 99’ 45” between the wheel wells. It’s older so I wanna cut the wheel wells back an inch on both sides so I can fit a ready made camper. 6.5’ bed. Idk if all truck campers are 8’ or 6.5’ Gutted they weigh around 800-1100 lbs.

Did you frame with 2x2’s or 2x1’s?

Nice job, to me using glue give more structural rigidity

Did you use non treated ply? Any advantages in using treated ply like a H3.2?

I just build A diy camper. I forgot to think about got to secure it to the bed!!! How does your secure yours?? I need advice?

Hi, ein super Projekt. Mit deinen Videos als Vorlage traue ich mir den Selbstbsu jetzt auch zu 👍 Eine Frage noch was für ein Holz hast du benutzt und welche größe / Maße haben die Latten. Bei welchem Herstellern hast du die Fenster gefunden?

Like the video it would be nice to have you comment on what you are doing instead of the music

Way too much electric guitar. Too many close ups of cutting, drilling etc instead of showing the overall build. I couldn't figure out where you were in the build.

Don't use Pu or SIKA ? Already heavyweight! Woods not traded against moistures etc.

Доброго времени суток! Я из России звать меня Леонид. Понравилась ваша работа!!! Подскажите сколько весом получился кемпинг. Магу ли я сделать такой же на авто прицеп???

Is this the 6' Dakota bed your building? How can I get your prototype?

no glue //?

Awesome build!! Considering doing one myself, do you by chance have rough lumber list and or total cost

The music is unbearable. Otherwise it's very interesting.

Hola muy bueno el vídeo pero sería MEJOR que lo traduscan en Castellano y pondríamos entender mejor ....TRADUSCAN TRADUSCAN

How do you like american trucks?

I would not wear gloves when sawing blade could snag it and grab your hand

What is the thickness of wood please

Glue???

Hi

Moin, eine Frage zum TÜV, gilt der Aufbau als " Ladung " und wie weit darf er hinten überstehen? Ich will bei meinem Ranger die Ladeklappe mitbenutzen

belo projeto sou brasileiro estou fazendo algo parecido so e para colocar em uma clássica pickupi 1975 esta sendo preparada restaurada para viajar brasil a fora,,,poderia me falar que tipo de madeira e esta que esta usando para fazer a estrutura do camper abração e boa sorte!!!

Next time please lower the music 🎶 please

Confusing to the point of distraction! Jumping from a cut or measure every few seconds might be good for teenagers with empty heads but definitely NOT the way to make things coherent!

Диз нечего не показал ! или показал чтоб не поняли !

Music is utterly annoying....WHY?>?

P

the music is so annoying

I gave the video a thumbs down,...because of the music,...could have done without it.

Thumbs down for background music.

I cant watch this to many mistakes.

Your Rock And Roll ruined the video. If I want go to a concert I will.

Only thing I'm worried about wood is rattling or breaking over time from bumps. Thinking of doing mine with a metal frame.

Been watching a lot of videos on how to build your own truck bed camper I think people are missing something why not start with a ladder rack and build off of that and then you got the whole bed of the truck for space

Dude needs to learn how to snap a line.

Proper

Using 2x2 for the studs?

4:07 , do you really consider that, the best spot to put your left hand?

I didn't like watching him cut the plywood with his hands under the wood not smart. And I wonder how he is going to stop the rain from damaging the wood that will fall down the tail gate and cab. He has over hang on the sides of the bed but not front or back.
