How I Built A DIY Tear Drop Camper From Start To Finish 

I find it hard to believe he has 12 grand invested in this build.

@@duanethumudo3967 He cheeped out on everything except for the batteries and the electronics that go with them. The two batteries alonle was 1200 dollars and the electronics was another 500 to 700 dollars.

That's correct it's very unlikely for people to make mistakes like this he did not think much about the placement of his intakes and outtakes

One fan pulls air in and the other pushes air out. They work really well the outtake of the inverter is near the outtake fan.

@@buildersblueprint Yes, I understand. :-) But fans blow in cones. So by having one blowing in at the same height as one blowing out, you've overlapped the cones and made a cylinder of air running from the intake to the outtake. The air blowing in will blow right out and leave eddies of hot air in all of the corners (especially at the bottom since you've put the holes at the top). Whereas if you had one low and one high, there wouldn't be overlap in the cones, meaning they're working together to mix all the air. But really two fans are unnecessary (though you still want the two holes). Since no two fans ever blow at exactly the same speed, you're either creating positive or negative pressure in the box (depending on which one is slower). Positive pressure would be great in a box containing a propane tank, but otherwise it's just kind of inefficient (it's not bad, per se, just a minor waste of pennies and electricity). Overall, you really want your intake to be low (where the coolest air is) and your outtake to be high (where the hottest air is). Any time you build an air system with two holes, you're creating a river of air between them; if they're at the same height, they really only cool objects in line with them. By varying the height, you create a diagonal which is a longer straight line, meaning it can cover more components. :-)

The intake should be low, and out should be higher because it will push the hotter air naturally up and out.

I’d be more concerned about water ingress. All of the holes added after the fiberglass are the first to leak once that construction adhesive gives way. House adhesives aren’t made to be driven on roads and especially not on dirt trials.

Thanks. I’m glad you enjoyed it

Thanks we really are trying to make these campers as nice as possible.

That corrugated plastic is pretty. With the foam and insulation in there, it feels like it’s as hard as a rock.

Thanks 😊

Thanks bro 🙌

Thank you for recognizing this. We try really hard to build these campers to the best of our abilities.

Thanks. If you look in the final part we did add a 120v outlet in the kitchen

Thanks for the info. The stuff we use is called levelx and have had no issues with it for years. I’ll try butyl tape next time. ✌️

Thanks 😊

🤙

Thank you it weighs 1460lbs and we used About a gallon and a half of resin

@@buildersblueprint Thanks! One quick follow up... purchased the plans! nice work... it doesn't mention what weight fiber you used... I've never used fiberglass before... but i understand the weight of the fiber cloth determines how much resin you need... Can you confirm what fiber cloth you used? - Thanks!

Love it thanks ❤️

Thank you Nathan. Email your address im going to send you a free hat and sticker. ✌️

I can't recall, but was there a shore power connection so that you could charge the batteries? You could get all charged up and the 200-watt solar panel would allow the system to equalize for all the parasitic power that is used from the inverter, etc.

@@aerobiotic I would assume it would be built into that charge controller, I'm pretty sure that costs a few times more than the trailer it's bolted to.

Thanks 😊

Thanks homie 🤙

Good info I was not aware of this. We try to stay up to date with everything we do especially the electrical system. I’ll definitely look into it. Thanks ✌️

Thanks 😊 This camper is selling for 14k

Correct this is because if we want to add more solar in the future, we will not have to change the solar controller

We posted pictures on our Instagram if you would like to see more it’s beerrunbus. Next time we will film much more.

We absolutely did good eye for noticing the vent covers just hadn’t come in yet and we really wanted to get the video posted

I'd say a good portion of that is the electrical system, batteries aren't cheap

Yea what?! I just finished mine with a steel box frame and 360 insulation with even more accessories and mine came in around 2200$

@@danneradcox1808 that's my only guess. And that seems like HUGE over kill for a teardrop IMO

@@SamTaysProductions it's my best guess, I've never looked into this sort of thing so count me as an uneducated opinion lol

I built mine for about 3 grand, and that included buying tools I didn't have. 12 seems a bit over done.

Thanks. We spent just under 12k
