you should put solar panels on the Roof of the camper and charge spare batteries, and take it across the country. That's definitely something I think a lot of viewers would enjoy
Agreed can't believe he didn't!!! I hav solar phone charger solar speaker solar lights all for the bike.. I hav been all about buying everything solar including my generator
Ditch the TV and bring a tablet or laptop with you instead. Use solar panel and 12V power. Also, use the tall end of the camper as a headboard to sit up/lounge on
This is a really nice build! You could easily add about 200 watts of solar on the roof that could add some range to the e-bike / camper and a small power station to run everything inside without having to compromise the range. Using a CIGS type of solar panel would only add about 6 pounds to the camper weight. Great work!
Very cool. I woulda go with the aluminum frame. foam walls with glued 1/8 inch ply, then spray bedliner all to save weight. Other than that? Maybe an awning over the door? So you could sit in the door but be out of the rain. Solar on top? A tiny fold-out butane cooktop for coffee. a couple cuby's for phone n gear. Just ideas. I'm sure you had your own! Too fun man! Way to go! Very nice build.
The trailer motors are a brilliant innovation! I hope commercial builders pick this idea up and start producing bicycle campers like this for sale. There needs to be a thriving bicycle camper industry.
It's also something large RVs should do to make them more easily towable by any vehicle. EVs especially. But all electric RVs are/should be a thing. Motors also work as brakes
imagine you just chilling inside there, you fall asleep, but then suddenly you feel the entire thing moving, then you realise someone robbed your camping bike and unintentionally literally just kidnaped you with them
You could do much more with this idea because a bike without assist can tow up to 300 pounds without much trouble. So, I think you should do another one, that's wider, with a pop out for the bed, a kitchen, a fridge, and a small composting toilet. The one I want to build is about 8 feet long, has a pop out for the bed, enough room for a small seating area and a kitchen, so it's definitely doable, especially if your ebike can tow in excess of 500 pounds.
@@SteveUnperceivedNot sure yet: Maybe a rail system or a hinge with legs to save weight. But the problem, as always is trying to not exceed the 150-200 pounds, so perhaps doing everything in foam painted with truck bed liner would work.
@@SteveUnperceived Will do, let me know if you want to collaborate on some design ideas too. I want to approach everything like it's a spaceship with very strict requirements.
I’m a HUGE fan of bike campers, thanks to that I also found this channel! So glad to see another AMAZING bike camper build... keep it up Chay (and family!) 💙
10 mm Corrugated plastic would have been a better option for the entire cab. Strong enough for even the floor. Only issue with corrugated for the floor would be, it can be slippery when wet or dusty but that 44lb weight for the base would have been substantially lighter Nice job on the trailer and video either way.. Cheers.
Your videos are very fun to watch and they’re really cool, but I think it would be really awesome if you do kinda like a Vlog or like you have to survive two days in the camper. It be really fun to watch you put the camper to the test
I just built one...made it through an entire Canadian winter. I havent put motors on the camper yet, but plan to eventually. It does have solar, LiFePo battery bank, 12v oven and fridge, 12v heater, a desk...it is based off one of those bike trailers people put kids in, a steel tube bed frame, 1x2 lumber skeleton, and a foam laminate skin. Uses 20" sealed bearing bicycle wheels. I am still putting some interior trim pieces on it, but it is otherwise done. I havent tried it yet though. I did build a dual hub motor ebike based on a Trek MTB frame to pull it that has around 3000W of total power should I need it. I figured I would deck the bike out with motors first so when not pulling the camper I still have all that power and torque.
I think you are sleeping at the wrong end. You have less headroom then if you layed down at the bigger end. And a overhanging tv setup too would have made more sense.
You need to look into adding a dovetail to the back of your campers, it will reduce the amount of friction drag that will make these things easier to pull. Just a little lip on the back instead of a shear will do the trick.
Awesome !! Luv it. Especially good for ppl who may not have a DL and Possibly homeless.but just starting off on a New Job with not much money. A Great project
time for a trip into the mountains. put some solar on the roof, add a mount on the front of the trailer to mount a monster battery, add a small rack inside for some groceries and camping gear and go set up a lovely camp
Those 200w solar panels could fit on the roof. They come up to about that size anyway. Figured since you're camped out, it could just let it sit and soak up the sun while giving you some extra range? Side note, I love your videos! I hope you get monetized enough to keep doing awesome stuff and sharing it with us! We love your videos. Always looking forward to your next project.
Dude I’m super impressed, when I first saw the Thumb Nail I was saying oh he just repurposed the last camper but you proved wrong. Awesome job. Keep it up.
What are you on about? It’s the creator coming up with the ideas you could start a youtube channel almost anywhere and be successful if you’re lucky and put the hours in.
@@Bgdnbhjggyu look, the point is it’s bs that America is the best place to start a youtube channel many great youtubers like pewdiepie didn’t start in the USA.
Add solar panels on the top. Removable, extension cables, to enable parking in the shade. Add a Tesla Model S battery module, about 55 pounds, you will have plenty of power. Inverter/charger sized to operate small induction cook top, small frig, 12v mattress heating pad, cooling fans, tire pump, charge bike battery, enable 110v charging. Next design, consider using 8020 aluminum for the frame, easy mechanical connections. Shape more teardrop, foam walls, exterior use FRP panels with UV infused. Add tarp/connections on top for side awning. Don't forget the lawn chair! And spare tubes!
You made a (single person) car camper and now you’re doing it for a bike!That’s so cool and I appreciate the time and effort you guys put into these videos! I can’t believe you can make these videos so quick❤
Chay, I completely understand that these projects take such a long time to create but man you gotta be active on the channel dude. Not only that but mix it up every once in awhile like your old videos. These type of videos get you your million subs but it will fizzle out if you don’t try new things.
The bicycle is an extra link in this system. If you attach a steering wheel to the camper, joystick controls, and display the image from the front camera on the TV screen, then you can move around simply lying down inside.
Love it, but you mounted the camper backwards on the bike. If you turn it around it would be more aerodynamic. If you go fast, you will be fighting against the wind.😅
Dang 600k+ subs? I always expected when your channel was under 10k that you're gonna be big and you are now! Tho i don't watch most of your vids anymore but it is inspiring that you have come this far. Keep it up.
As a life long cyclist with many tours and trips under my belt, I can say this is a fun looking project. But big to carry and cramped. My best fit for a few friends or with my wife was with a mountaineering style tent and some off the shelf, lightweight backpackers gear. It's lighter, more versatile, less support prone, trouble free, parking easy, and E bikes don't need to pull an e trailer. You just put on panniers and bags. There are cargo trailers if needed. Again, a cool project, I don't see it getting out much or for very far.
Great build. I wanna make one with solar panels and the ability to charge the trailer and the bike. I've been coming up with supper light generators using weed eater motors. It would be sick to get this thing to shtf off grid standards. Thanks for some truly innovative ideas...
Great job dude getting to 1 million subscribers is a difficult challenge I believe once you get to 1 million you’re go from 1 million to 10 million a lot faster then 0 to 1 million it’s like a snowball the more the snowball grows the more snow it will pick up and it will grow faster.
I love you guys I learn so just watching you. I'm going too build a sleeping box in the back of my truck you all has helped me so much. Much love to yall.
This was awesome! You folks could sell plans for this, y'know? Definitely like the idea of solar panels and you could add a strap/buckle netting under the bedding so you could attach it to the ceiling while travelling to utilize the full footprint for longer camping trip items. Just a thought since you don't have the wall height for a horizontal Murphy bed situation.
Really impressive build and the end result really awesome. Looking forward for the next project. Keep up the good work. Greetings from a fellow ebiker in Finland
About a decade ago I built myself a tiny one person caravan. The first few times I used it I woke up with a bad headache. I determined that there was not enough airflow and a buildup of CO2. A small 12V fan from an old computer power supply solved that problem. It also got rid of the condensation on the inside of the roof.
yea you should add like little upgrades like solar panels and a game system or something with the tv, also you should make a series of you going around the US and staying in cool resorts
Its great! Like others have said, solar panels on top would be awesome, ans i would definitely add a little fan and roof vent for air circulation. Dual entry may also be nice..
Love the idea....now how about a tiny battery bank and a flex solar unit to charge the bike back up and have for the TV and phone charger..plus extend the range or enough for a small hot plate.
It's so cool... But I have to spoil it for you... in some states it would be considered a separate electric vehicle... and they could take it away from you... not to mention that it's medium to long trips like 500 km by motorcycle, where is there a solar battery, where is the stove, where is the fridge 😅 more like a 20 km trip around the city to a restaurant
I would put a solar panel on the roof so you get power from the sun and put a connection so if you are in an area where you can plug the trailer in it can not only charge the batteries in the trailer but the e-bike. Where is the storage for other things such as food and a way to cook the food you have with you? Really cool trailer.
