- My Jeep Gladiator truck camper is almost complete! This video goes over what the camper is built out of and what we have done to keep this truck and camper light, with the weight down as low as possible. What do you think?

Dude can't wait to see it in person this fall! I gotta hit you up to make some plans soon here and see where you cats will be. You should 110% go to the Descend on Bend festival last weekend in August, it's one of the coolest events you'll go to.
I still think you should have added the over the cab sleeper on it like the Tacoma Camper Dude. It's gonna get very cramped in there with 2 people and dogs. Look at "Grizzly N Bear" Videos and see how they live in theirs. And they will admit it's almost too small. But it's still a camper and truck. Best wishes with it. I'll follow you and one of these days we will cross trails! I break too much equipment when I rock crawl to live out of my rig.
Yep.... He didn't have an ole lady when he designed it. Women tend to mess up your plans bro. Good and bad for him I guess.
Totally agree about the cab over👍 And how much serious off grid riding and rock climbing can you do before you destroy the truck, the camper and your gear😬
Idk man. I really can't wait to see this finished out. I can't see any way it not being cab over is going to be big enough to spend any amount of time in
Your enthusiasm is soooo contagious! Thanks for your great videos. Super excited for you and Julie's next adventures.
Good humor, made me smile.
Over the moon happy for you!!
I'm absolutely loving these daily uploads on the camper install. I feel like I'm getting a new camper too haha
I remember the comments the last time you were down there. Everyone was asking if you were going to change your springs for the added weight. Now I can see why you said, you didn't think you needed to. That thing looks super light.
Awesome video Phil
Where do they source the composite wall material from? I’d like to build a light weight tear drop using material like that.
Nice build I saw another one like this but he elevated his roof and had the same wall . Noice build
I think people doubt how small you can go and be comfortable because they are used to living in a bedroom three times the size of your whole moving house. I think this will be perfect for how hard you go on the trails
So close!!!! Pumped for you Phil!
Thanks, this answered all of my questions. Are you doing a cost breakdown?
This has been so long coming. You must be so excited.
3 inches of insulation. You could heat that with two warm bodies. You might have to ventilate with those dogs in there, just to avoid overheating. :)
2003, for our ExpeditionVehicle, we installed:
* adhesive-back acoustic insulation against the wall, a gap, then
* one-inch pink-board, another air-gap, then
* two-inch foil-side poly.
We rarely use the Wave 3 catalytic heater above 40°f outside...
... with an interior 7w x 12 l x 7h, about 700cf.
.
We avoid rising heat loss by zero holes in the roof.
But you go right ahead, install a sky-light over the bed so you can watch the stars as you sleep...
... and learn the special relationship between rain and gravity.
can't wait to see it finished, MOB Squad!
Great tuff camper got wider space with flatbed 3” walls will be warm guessin R-12 insulation with 3 layers in pop-up you will be cozy in cold or hot temperatures 👌😎 I’m Subscribed from BC 🇨🇦
Good looking camper, but a lot smaller than I thought it would be. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Looking good. Have fun at Moore Expo… less than 24 hrs till the full reveal 👍
Looks Awesome!!! Can’t wait to see the completed build!!
Can't wait to see y'all MOBBIN in your new rig!
Really starting to look good man.
Wow! Getting a little closer day by day, THE ANXIETY!! LOL 😆
Can’t wait to seeeeee it in Scottsdale 🤓
Lookin' Sweet!
Finally lol. Looks great. Smaller than I expected though.
It would have been nice to see how the box corners are constructed.
That short bed really limits what space you can play with. 6’ bed is my preference though I compromise with a cab and a half for gear storage and the dog.
I keep saying Tatra 6x6, but nobody listens [chucks pillow at wall in frustration].
Just built a flatbed for my yoda. Followed a bit of overland under budgets flow. Im set on your camper shape. Hows it held up. Hows the tent part doing. What is the dry weight
Duuuuuude. Nice
So what you really needed was a single-cab version of the Gladiator with the same wheelbase, for a more functional camper than using the back seat area for RV components..
How do you fund your adventures? Trust fund? Online job? Does u tube pay the bills?

Yes I am downed to mob
Sicky Sicky Gnar Gnar!!
The turnaround time on this camper isn't doing Bison any favors.
Weight when finished?
First from the Netherlands, greetings, love the build
2nd, another dutch guy but from Utah.
@@Gerbyq groeten uit Nederland. Ben ook een expeditiebox aan het bouwen, echter voor een Iveco Daily 4x4. Vandaar dat ik hem aan het volgen ben…..
@@guidok3762 Nice! success. I heb een paar ouwe Landcruisers... veel hier in Utah aan het overlanded.
@@Gerbyq zag al zoiets op je profiel. Mooi man om daar te wonen.
Zodra de camper klaar is ga ik hem verschepen voor een roadtrip door USA en Canada.
Utah ken ik goed van het mountainbiken, prachtig daar, ook mooi voor Overland met camper.
@@guidok3762 Ja super mooi... US/CA roadtrip sound amazing. Ik heb een Montana omgeving roadtrip geplanned voor deze zomer. Ik MTB veel hier ook! Ik heb een paar jaar in het Nederlandse Cyclo-Cross team gezeten. Lang geleden...
If you dont mind, how much is this build?
Ye old heavy rock trick. LOL
It's cool but to live in seems 2 small. I would have done a cab over. The weight of the cab over is very minimal because it just supports its self and the matress when your driving. Seems like a ton of work for not much space.
😆 ❤
But are you down
You didn't say anything about the composite make up..isbit filing, aluminum, Steel outside? How thick? How's it attached to the foam? Same Qs for inside. Plywood? etc? Etc? INFORM US, DONT JUST ACT LIKE A KID ON A RECORDER.
Freak everyone out and get all your hair and beard cut off the day you finally get your camper!!
Go totally BALD!!! It’s a fresh brand new start!!!
So thick….
I watched the first 5 min of this video. it has nothing about "how to"
Is it going too be big enough for you
