In this video we start building the Fiberglass and PVC bike camper. The purpose of this build is to test some design ideas - primarily the suitability of fiberglass and PVC pipe for creating a lightweight but extremely durable structure.
I live on Kauai and there is not really any opportunity to do a road trip with this so it will be donated to a houseless person.

Thanks so much for this, I want to build a bike camper so badly but I want it to be lightweight and affordable I think this may be the perfect solution for me. Thank you

I am homeless . I made a bicycle camper and had it stolen , along with everything except 2 sets of clothes . I am in need of another camper but , this time I want it to have a wagon assembly for easier towing . Not having tools or a place to build is a huge set back . I like the video ~ Alan

Planning to build a camper for my bike, I settled on pvc for low weight, which led m3 to your video for ideas. My design will be different than yours, and while you do have a good design, your one massive flaw was melting the pipe to flatten it. You took something that wasastrong shape, and made a huge breaking point. Long term, that won't last at all. Better to find another method that doesn't require deformity of the pipe. I chose to go with metal covers for outlets. I'll cut the Grove and use them to mount the wheels. The walls I plan to use Coloplast, with a little bit of plexiglass for the floor, for strength. My design is also a little bit more compact that yours, at 3ft wide an 7.5ft long. At this stage, that is subject to change however. Soon I will buy the pipes n build a test frame. If I lime what I see, I'll buy the plexiglass for the floor an the Coloplast for the walls. With the parts I've selected, it around be super lightweight, which is a requirement as I already have an easy 40lbs of gear.

def a different way of doing it i was skeptical but after seeing it its pretty good. not sure how old this is but just wanting to know how its holding up. 1 other quick 1 why did you choose such big diameter pvc. I would think the black 1 and a 1\2" is stronger im thinking i'm going to go with the black 1.5" ill let you know how it turns out

The project is on hold while my son recovers from surgery. I built a bike trailer from PVC and learned that 2" schedule 40 was the best size. Good luck with your build!

question for you how come you like doing things the hard way lol. I am a drywall boarder so when i see things like the way you are doing fiberglass why after puting sheets down theres a foot or 2 that gap in between that needs to be put in if yo put the first 2 down first the gap will be at the end so what eversover hanging you cut off way easier then cutting a shprt piece and having to mak sure both ends fit lol.

Sheetrock = cheap, fiberglass = expensive.

How much did this cost you sugar I'm actually looking for something like this to build and give out to homeless people where we live we have a homeless problem in my town and my family wants to make as many as we can with our budget that will give them a shelter of their own

I am still building it so will share that info when it is done. One thing for sure is that making them from fiberglass is much more expensive than making them from coroplast (political sign material).

Super excited to see this project. Your previous pvc bike trailer inspired my design. Check out my camper build on my channel. Will you be giving this to the same homeless guy as before?

Heading there now! Not sure who will get this one... they have to be willing to go on RU-vid and talk a little about it.
