DIY Camper Cost and Weight !! installing a fridge and heater

- In this video I answer the most asked questions from the camper build video. How much did it cost? How much did it weigh ? I Install a 12 volt fridge . I build a small enclosure for the fridge and insulate around it . Then I install a cheap diesel heater .
don't let the armchair builders get to you, their only projects are in their minds, their mom's won't let them dirty the yard
LOL !! I think that quite often thanks !!
Imagine thinking people giving their opinion ALL have never done anything.
@@Paultimate7 I don’t think ALL have never done anything or even most but I do know people who have done nothing but think they know everything. It seems like the more rude the commenter is normally the more likely they are just trolls . But I have actually had a lot of good ideas and tips pointed out to me by commenters I will never claim to be a expert in anything
Don't need to be a armchair builder. For $5,000 you can get a used nice camper and save yourself a lot of time, that most don't have. This is how he makes money, so of course he builds his own.
@@jimmywhitlow2012 have you really looked at how your nice $5000 camper is built, it's not if it will leak, or shake itself a part but when
That is one hell of a rig you built, and you should be proud of what you have built. You and your family will enjoy for years and years to come. Mad props
Thanks !! I'm hoping so
Use a Hammock instead, cuz they are the best for your back and they are super ez to put up and take-down. I learned that from all the old retired factory worker men whose wives wanted to travel and discovered the best nights sleep they had ever got in years were in fact in Hammocks! And why those who sleep in them are void of back pain issues!@@blackspruce1861
Your edits are really great, Ryan! The refrigerator insulation idea seems "spot-on" and your overall camper design & build is impressive. I appreciate your content, sir! Enjoy ... God Bless you and yours
Thanks !! it always seemed like a good idea to insulate around it but wasn't sure . I'm looking forward to a trip with it to see how it does . you and yours as well !!
Amazing editing on both videos! Very professional! Add music next time? Thanks!
Foresty Forest has also dealt with the fuel pump clicking issue for awhile, and ended up finding a silent(ish) fuel pump from a guy that builds them himself. May be worth checking out.
I'll have to check that out . I think I would be fine but wouldn't want to set up too close to other campers you hate to be the annoying person in the otherwise peaceful camp ground . thanks !
@@blackspruce1861 th-cam.com/video/Xt_Sm0cgvJo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Vs1EDBoj7C4Os493 here’s a link for his video on install and testing it out. Good luck and love the channel brother!
Thanks ! that thing is silent .
I would consider some type of rubber isolator between the fuel pump and the frame. The frame is using the wooden floor as an amplifier. You did a great job on the camper. 👍
I may try that . the mount provided with the fuel pump is a soft rubber but I guess more couldn't hurt .. Thanks !!!
I enjoy your videos! I watched you build this from the beginning, and now I can't wait to see where you go with this. I am a woman, and I like watching people build things. And also, you don't yell.
Awesome !! me too I need to get a camping trip in while there's still leaves on the trees . nope no yelling here ever !
You might want to think about enclosing the bottom of the trailer you could get some tin roof material and enclosed the bottom of it to keep y’all in line from getting ripped off and damaged and corroded just a thought other than that you did a very nice job on the camper build👍You earned this cold beer🍺
I think thats a good idea just a channel of tin around the fuel line and pump would probably be enough . Thanks !!!
Love the recent additions to the camper. We use a 400watt ceramic heater for our teardrop, but I know a few diy teardrop people who use the diesels. For safety for you and yours, I highly recommended a carbon monoxide detector in the camper. Keep up the great videos!
Thanks !! I was planning on looking for a co detector really soon. I actually extended the exhaust pipe a couple inches a few minutes ago . I hope to keep them rolling
This heater needs to vent outside.
@@elsie9649 did you watch the video ? I showed the exhaust and how I ran it
Thanks Ryan !!! I'm subscribed to Brooke Dave and Mickeys channels so why not another Whipple. Great content and also saw your cabin build. Enjoy the camper. Oh by the way if nothing else I've used those heaters for heating up cans of soup as well. Just a thought. Make sure you have a pair of gloves or a pot holder. 😂
hey thanks for subscribing !! I can't wait to get a nice little trip in with it but I think I'll use the stove for cooking my soup lol
you could rubber isolate that fuel pump to get rid of the clicking into the frame
thanks for the tip !
Awesome build, we have an old Coleman Rio Grande that is mouse ridden. This gives me a great idea of what to do with it. I did notice that both inlet and exhaust for the heater where below the floor, not sure if anyone has made a comment, but it might be a good idea to get a stainless screen to place over them in order to keep out the mud daubers, and other nest building pests. ... now to add to my 'round tuit' list :)
Thanks!! This was a Colman I don’t remember the model though. Not a bad idea those mud dobbers suck they always fill the ground holes in my garage outlets
Talk about timing I just watched your last video last night and boom new one
Sweet !! that is good timing the last ones been out a little over a month
You and your brother are both such impressive people. Love the project!
Brooke, "Girl in the Woods" is pretty resourceful also...
Thank you so much!
She sure is !!
Do get a carbon monoxide detector and smoke detector too. You probably already did so.
I did !! definitely a good idea !
Maybe it is due to age, but I couldn't manage with a refrigerator on the floor. I would have built a cabinet with a trash can or dirty clothes bin or something under the refrigerator to raise it up.
I use rubber grommets or washers and foam to try and isolate noisy items like water or fuel pumps. I like your reasoning on the plywood. I bought my wood in early fall of one year, let it sit in the sun until rain, then put it around the sides of the garage until early spring, then painted it with deck paint before mounting it to the pontoon frame. It lasted 14 years sitting in the weather before I replaced it with aluminum dock decking.
I know I really wanted it higher but there just wasn't a good space for it . Thanks !!
I am going to get my plywood early and let it dry before I do mine.
I was curious about those diesel heaters, I have a small 16x8 cabin and some days wood stove is just to much heat
It seems to do nice but I think a wall mount propane heater would probably be nicer if you have the room . their quiet , and propane is easy to haul without worrying about spilling it
Thank You for the videos and Information on the project. Really helps me out planning a similar thing.
hey I'm happy its helped . I have one more past this video that is pretty much the finished product
Awesome build,now go out and camp in it!
Thanks !! I know I’m really needing to get a trip in
Looks great. The only true way to learn is to do it. Get your hands dirty. Yes, there are other ways of doing things, and I saw things "I" would do differently but "I'm" not you or any of those other people who were not there when you made it. It looks great and you should be very proud of it. Great job.
Thanks !! thats for sure . I spent a lot of years thinking about how I would build this but didn't learn much till I actually did it . I really am proud of this one
Thanks for the update on the camper. It was great. The freezer in your fridge isn't known to be a friend of ice cream. They are usually open in the back and get alot of fridge cool. Hopefully it will work for you. Great job!❤❤❤
no problem glad you enjoyed it ! yeah probably wishful thinking . I could stand to lay off the ice cream a bit anyways lol . Thanks !!
Love seeing how things are done...especially the on-the-fly adjustments . Thank you for sharing your time and skills !
Stay safe and well !
glad you liked it ! you too !
I agree. Pressure treated wood needs at least a full month of 100 degree weather before you paint it. More time if you can wait.
thats my thought I'll probably paint it in the spring should be plenty dry by then .
This was one of the most informative and enjoyable videos on a camper build. The diesel heater you put in was a good addition to the camper I am a hvac/r guy and those little jet furnaces are are great. The refrigerator you in stalled with the freezer was a great idea; however, the freezer usually does not get cold enough to hold ice cream to temp and that’s because of the sugar content in the ice cream. Looking forward to another adventure with you. Oh, nice shop I would love to have a shop like that.
awesome Thanks !! thats what I was going for because I watched bits and pieces of a few different camper builds and didn't find them very useful . yeah I am pretty impressed by that little heater I wish it was thermostatically controlled but it does put out good heat . well I guess thats ok I really should lay off the ice cream anyways lol .
I don’t know if you did this but all the holes you drilled in the deck should have RTV in them before the bolts went in. The hole you cut for the heater should be sealed too.
You can get fire resistant sound dampener panels to put in the area where the heater is. 😊
I used that high tea gasket maker sealant for the heater . and RTV by the wire hole
That’s a lot of money, but the experience of building something with your own hands is priceless❤ do you think I can get a tax break from building a DIY camper?
It was more than I thought I had spent but I totally agree the point was to build one not to save a pile of money and I feel it was more than worth it !!! I don't believe that would be in the tax code no lol
Hope you enjoyed building it as much as I enjoyed watching. Subscribed 🙂👍
Hey welcome to the channel!! I had a good time building it . It was challenging and a bit like solving a puzzle with no picture . I just made some pretty awesome improvements to it and now I’m enjoying camping in it . I’m hoping to have this improvements video up next weekend
Of all the DIY camper builds on TH-cam yours is my favorite. Very beautifully done and looks professional. Perfect light cozy camper that can take you anywhere.
Thanks thats awesome !! I've actually been doing some changes to it , making it more aerodynamic and had the axle swapped out for a 3,500 lb axle . I'll admit when im wrong or at least overly optimistic. I'll feel better knowing it's safer . I'm hoping to have that video up in a week or 2 , and hit the road to do some camping
Nice job! Looks really nice. Also, if it’s cold enough to require the need for heat, no one should complain about a bit of noise. You could always turn it off and be cold lol
Thanks and thats a very good point !!
Thanks and thats a very good point !!
You are quite a craftsman, great job! 👍
At some point, you may want to consider beefing up the axle. I used to have a small mowing trailer with the same rated axle and hit a big pothole and the axle bent big time. The wheel was pointed sideways. The trailer place said that’s too lightly rated an axle and I replaced it with a 2500 lb axle. I know it doesn’t sound like much difference but it was much beefier and I never had another problem
Thanks !! I think I am going to get a 3500 lb axel and springs soon . there's a local welding shop that said they do a lot of swap outs
Great job, really enjoyed it!! Don't let people bother you, the world is full of Monday morning quarterbacks.
Thanks ,I appreciate that!
DIY Plastic hose Hangers. Brilliant!!!!
Thanks !!! I thought it was a good idea!
Thanks so much for showing us how you installed that heater, Ryan. Everybody else just breezes past that like we all know how to do it. Your camper turned out great. Thanks for sharing
no problem ! I really try to show the steps I've noticed what you mean on other videos when looking for info myself for other things I've done .
Very nice job on the camper build. Your attention to detail is rock solid. You should get tons on enjoyment out of that camper. Makes me want to build one but I have too many other projects already. Take care. Looking forward to the next video
Thank you !! so hard to get all the projects caught up lol
I enjoyed it a bunch. Great motivation for all camping lovers. Thanks!
That’s awesome!! Glad you enjoyed it
Great build & Great build price!! Thanks for sharing.
much cheaper to build your own camper then buying. And, most importantly you know the camper systems & build well that if there are any issues you can fix them.
Thanks !!! thats a good point just like building a house you know what you have that way
Why didn't you use a solar power system instead of a battery
I have a solar panel and charge regulator but you still have to have a battery with solar
You can try replacing the fuel pump. I would see what pump Webasto used in big rigs..I never heard one in any of the trucks I drove. That noise would make me nuts.
I camped with it this spring and it really didn't bother me at all
I don't know anything about the heater, though just a suggestion, could the constant noise, thump be caused due to not enough fuel in tank, too much air in tank ? Maybe when you fill it up to 2 1/2 gallons dod you say,,? I have so many questions for you. I totally Respect you and your Talents/Craftsmanship my Friend...
I am new Subscriber to you today, 03/09/24.. I can't wait to watch all your other videos.. You even built a Cabin ? Dang Brother, You are living the Dream. I am forced into retirement long before I was ready, due to health issues all of a sudden.. Hmmm
I enjoyed Remodeling homes for a living, loved it, Miss it Big Time !!
I Applaud your Skills, Honestly. You save yourself big $$ doing it all yourself. Just tough to find a cheap couple acres to build a small tiny house for one or two people to enjoy life.. Happy for you. God Bless you and your family. Amen
Big Jim New Hampshire USA aka Boston Strong
hey thanks for subscribing !! I'm sorry to hear about your health problems . I've watched a couple videos that explain it . the pump is basically a piston that goes back and forth and makes a thump when it does. land prices seem to be getting pretty bad homes were already out of control but now it seems land is following suite. it doesn't help that these scum bag investment companies are send ing letters to every one that owns a few acres trying to buy up everything they can . I've had low ball offers from a company in California and Colorado and I live in Michigan .I sure hope you can find a good couple acres god bless you nd yours as well
Heater shouldn't be THAT noisy dood
from my understanding they all are its the fuel pump that makes all that noise
I think you meant dude not dood
Nice job on your build. You might want to take watch this video “Taylor Coach 16’ frame to road” on TH-cam. This Timelapse clip may provide some build ideas if you’re planning another build, or your followers may benefit. My 14’ Taylor weighs 1,475 pounds and is 21 years old, still going strong. The floors have an aluminum barrier with plywood flooring laid on top and the roof is also covered with aluminum sheet. They’ve been custom building these coaches since the late sixties. I hope you find their build process to be of interest.
I was inspired by your video to consider trying a diy build.
Thanks I'll have to check it out !! Thats awesome no better compliment than inspiring someone !!!I just did a bunch of improvements to the camper that video will be up at 3:30 today if you'd like to see more
Hi. Im from PR. Where you bough a 12v fridge. Thanks. Sorry for my english😂. Your works its awsome
Hi , I bought the fridge at an RV surplus store. Thank you I'm really happy you enjoyed it !!
People commenting on the brake situation is confusing to me. Almost every utility trailer sold up to #3500 single axle, does not have brakes. I'm actually surprised yours had them.
Anyhow, really nice job!
Thanks ! I'm really happy this has breaks myself it saves a lot of wear on my trucks breaks
I've watched numerous videos on these , I have Maine friends on lobsterboats using them. Hail to the Chinese. I prefer the Moo Lang Tais to the Ho- Chi -Mihns. More thrust power. I saw a guy heating his house bedroom with one, but he put an extendo PVC pipe on the muffler and installed a computer fan in it that was powered by a 5 Watt Panel and a battery that I think also ran the Deisel unit. The pipe kept the initial startup fumes from blowing back into the house window, making wifey scream. So you'd have like a 3 foot pipe propped up at an angle. Yes, remove it for the drive home. Duh. Silver metallic HVAC Heat tape is my new trim thing on bikes etc. You could make like 3/4" strips to trim the corner edges of the boxes, it would look so dope. Even when wrinkled, you can smooth it down awesomely with a scissor handle or something. I made a chainguard with one. Versus 24.99 for a "snakeskin". Oh and it would look great on the heat guard behind the purple Girlie Stove in the cabin. No more sharp edges . Okay I'll stop with that.
It does work pretty good . honestly if I had more space I would prefer a propane heater mainly because diesel sticks and so does the exhaust . its not a purple stove its a dark red color lol
Really nice!!! Take us along for your first camping trip!!! 🌲💚🌲 Make sure you have a strong lock on the door... happy trails!💚
Thanks !!!! I've actually had it out for a short spring trip , but I'm planning to get another trip in this moth so hopefully I'll get some good footage
Was it wet from chemicals or from it being outside..if it was from the chemicals,you wouldn't have gotten mold if you would have painted it BUT it really don't matter that much if you paint it with marine grade..it would have been nice to insulate the floor though..LOOKS GOOD..about how many man hrs did you spend building it?..including the female help hrs?
its the chemicals but still moisture. I'm not really sure . I would guess a couple weeks if it was more condensed
Good luck with the DC fridge, but my experience is that they draw a LOT of battery power with a large battery barely able to power one overnight, but maybe the tech has improved. Propane works much better, with the large fridge/freezer in our new camper drawing a little under a pound of propane a day. Again good luck!
Thanks , yeah I have my doubts on it too but I thought I would give it a try so I don't have to do any venting through the wall for a fridge .
Didn't get a real clear view of your heater fuel pump but maybe a small piece of closed cell foam sandwiched between the pump body and the mounting spot would reduce the thumping sound? Nice little rig you built. Wish I would have kept more of my Dad's woodworking tools after he passed. Good luck from a fellow Michigander.
yeah I might do something like that maybe wrap t in something . Thanks !!
My girlfriend’s kid has been “building his house” like forever, and we’d really just like some privacy. Do you think he could temporarily live in one of these? Like this actual one? Thanks Ryan!
LOL leave mikes mom out of this . LOL
Holy crap that is the coolest . Bravo. Hey dude I wanna send you a doc .PDF from the Munising Deeds office that takes 3 minutes to read , and parts of it are rather hilarious and absurd, you might have even read it already. I need some street advice from all you guys . Can you post an email address, then just delete that after you receive it. I've compiled advice from You, Dave and Brooke. Thanks
thanks !!! I've been looking for property somewhere around there but still haven't found the right piece . well I did once but it sold fast . you can send it o rdwhipple@yahoo.com I don't know if I'll have the greatest advice or not though
I think your build is awesome I know very little about building campers being a woman, but I would love to be able to do what you have done. I would be proud of myself if I did it half as good as you have. Loved watching you make this camper. Well done 👏
Thank you , I'm really happy you enjoyed it !!
It looked like you installed the fuel filter the wrong way, the visible clear side goes towards the tank. Also to quiet the fuel pump place a thick chunk of rubber between the pump and frame,, 3/8" or more thickness. Over all a super job on everything. Oh, and a little sink would not hurt with like a 3 gallon tank.
The most that comes with it is actually a soft probably 3/8 thick rubber . I took it camping the spring and the noise really wasn't that bad at all .
Love the channel - you and dave and brooke put out fantastic common sense content
awesome !! thanks ! I really try to keep it simple and useful
Subbed and liked, Awesome build it gave me many ideas. One idea for you, you could coat the bottom of your floor ply under the camper in rhino truck bed liner. Not only will it protect your floor, it adds a slight amount of insulation factor and noise dampening. Cheap and easy mod. Keep it comin brother
Thanks and thanks for the sub! That might be what I'll use I should get that figured out pretty soon spring is right around the corner .
I really thought the BIGGEST question would be.... Where do you hide a Porta-potty?... 😂
I guess you could but if I'm going camping with a camper there should at least be an out house
You Sir are an inspiration. You definitely have some skills. Really enjoyed watching your journey. : )
I appreciate that! I'm happy you enjoyed it !! I'm currently working on some improvements to it so hopefully I'll have a new video on the camper soon
To help quiet the pump down. You might wanna try putting rubber isolaters. Between the bolts that have it bolted to your frame
yeah I might do something like that . the mount that comes with it is actually a thick rubber mount
Where'd you get that table leg? I need one just like it. To quiet the fuel pump, you can use some isolation mounts. They're just bigger rubber mounts.
I bought it at Forbes Rv surplus in Traverse city , but I would guess most RV surplus stores would have them
That’s a really nice well built camper.
My parents had a 1960 camper & well loved.
Thanks !! wow thats a classic now
I know this video.
Was 6 months ago on those heaters.The fuel pumps do make noise.But amazon sells one that is more quieter and it's fifty seven dollars for it
honestly I used it a couple weeks ago and it didn't bother me at all
You need fire proofing wall around the stove Top and Easy to clean. Good job. Just a reminder Not criticizing.
Thanks !! I plan to add something
Great job! U figured it all out and know your camper inside and out. Pat yourself on the back. Enjoyed your videos!
Thanks !! that is one nice thing about building your own after you're done you know exactly what you have . glad you liked them thanks again !!
That fuel pump banging would drive me crazy fairly quickly.
you know I though so too , but I used it on a trip this spring and it didn't bother me at all . in fact it almost helped me get to sleep . the part I don't like is that it's not thermostatically controlled just high and low with a bit between and it gets too hot
Concerning the diesel heater...you may want to replace the fuel line with a quality one. Also if you look hard enough on the internet, you can find a much quieter fuel pump. I've seen videos where that fuel line would fail.
I've heard that the fuel line isn't very good sounds like a project for this summer . yeah I might eventually change the pump
I wouldn't paint underside. Hell pontoon boats builders leave the plywood unpainted. My pontoon is a 06 no rot anywhere. Just my opinion. Great job.
I think im going to since its going to get all that mud and sand from back roads . thanks !
Im completely hooked and you and Dave’s (BushRadical) build videos!!!! I noticed in this one that you have a hand held band saw mounted….. can you tell me about what you did?
thats awesome!! I actually mounted it the same way he mounted his so I'll just give you the link to his video on mounting it
th-cam.com/video/KX7FnqjkhyM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-Vtqa9_uZoGbJblV
Awesome build. You wouldn't happen to have a link to the diesel heater? Me and the GF are wanting to do a similar build with a older utility trailer I've had for years.
Thanks !! I don't but it's pretty easy to find . just google Vevor diesel heater they have a few different models
I built my own camper on a ten by sixteen utility Trailer. I even put a bathroom in it it's nice. The reason I built my own is I looked at All the ones you can buy and didn't like any of them. The new ones you can buy are all so cheap made They're junk.
sweet !! I've heard that they are cheaply made but I've never owned one so I don't know
You can get better fuel pumps to get quieter ones. Those heaters typically come with a relatively cheap one and that knocking is usually due to that.
Yeah I should look into that . Thanks!!
I have a question about the diesel heater. Can you use an off-road diesel in it? Typically cheaper and has better performance than the diesel you put in your truck.
I'm not sure . Honestly if i were to choose a different fuel I would go with kerosene for less smelly exauhst outside . but I didn't know if thats fine to run in it either
They make those round hole saws that you can add on to your drill, similar to the ones you use to create holes for a door handle, just realized after I put this up that you said it, anyways what a brilliant build🎉
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it !!
So your CCC (the difference between your UVR and your GVWR) is 100 lbs or 400 lbs? Consider that when loading up for a trip. And its called butyl tape in the industry.
I think I'm going to buy a 3500 lb axle and have a welding shop swap it out . and I will probably do some kind of up date video for that . I want the extra peace of mind
You can get a quieter heater pump for $45. or so on line. A third of the cost of the unit, but probably worth it, depending on application.
yeah I'll probably check into it thanks !!
Really good information. Helps me decide if I want to do this. Would have liked to have seen video footage of the entire finished interior though.
Thanks !! well you're in luck because I did another video on it and have it all finished uphere's a link to that . th-cam.com/video/2GaUwcLtRpU/w-d-xo.html
Maybe you can mount your pump with rubber , to act as insulators. Should quite it down ,it’s because you mounted on metal frame.
the mount that comes with it is actually soft thick rubber
❤❤❤Love this!!!❤❤❤ I was told not to use the fuel line that comes with the heater. I guess they break down and eventually leak.
Thanks !! I hope it lasts a while I really don't feel like replacing it .
I ve seen other TH-camrs put the fuel pump inside a small pelican case with foam to dampen the sound. I wondered if it makes any heat, would it get hot
I’ve thought about doing that too. I’m not sure if it would get hot or not . One guy told me they don’t but I would have to try myself to be sure
Been wanting to do this for a while. I think you have encouraged me to get started. About time to start looking for a trailer. Great video and thanks for sharing!
awesome ! its quite a project but pretty cool at the same time
@@blackspruce1861 you did a great job!
Thanks !!
The clicking is the ignitor. firing off. that how mine works in my truck.
oh . I watched a couple videos they were saying its the fuel pump . either way it is a bit loud good thing there's not usually a lot of other campers in the late fall .
I got used to it after a few nights on the road.
I could sleep through it
Put that pump in pool noodle... tie that down with bungie cords... should help with the clicky-clacky
that could be a quite easy fix ! thanks for the idea !
The fuel pump noisy problem mounting it in rubber and mounting the rubber with other screws, ps put spacer between mounting......
Thanks!
3M makes a heavy loop and hook adhering set that works for things like LCD display you had.
That would have been a good way to go .
That's an awesome camper you built, but no sink or toilet, guess only so much you can fit in a small space. Nice to at least have a place to wash your face, or dishes
Thanks !! yeah its a pretty small camper , and most of the places I would dare to pull a camper would at least have an outhouse . you can always wash your face and hands with a big bowl of water . I'm so used to tent camping I don't need much lol
One little trick when installing hoses over nipples is to dip the end of the hose in rubbing alcohol. The hose will slide right on the nipple. Works for rubber grips on bicycle handlebar s also . Great build. I learn new ways of doing things with every project.
Really , I will definitely have to remember that trick I had a heck of a time getting that hose on ! Thanks!!!
Nice job on the camper. Please get yourself a CO2 detector now that you installed a diesel heater.
Thanks !! already have
Awesome camper!!
Thanks !!
Do yourself a favor and wrap the fuel pump in insulation or some type of foam, it’ll deaden the sound almost 100%
awesome !! I will definitely be doing that !
Super job
From Pakistan
Thank you !! I just got done watching the River Runner on Netflix where they kayak the Indus River in Pakistan thats some rugged landscape and crazy whitewater !
Maybe if you can install some sound isolation between the pump and the frame.
Just a thought. Wolf mama
thanks ! I think I may build a box to put it in and pack it with insulation
Very nice good job.
Thank you very much!
That diesel heater pump noise is annoying. There might be a way to enclose it with sound deadening material plus physically isolating it from the trailer frame
I agree . I'm leaning that way too
bravo. elle est magnifique. En France, on fait pareil et on rajoute des panneaux solaires pour l'electricité...
Merci !! je suis heureux que vous ayez apprécié ! Je pourrais ajouter une de ces lampes à mouvement solaires du côté du camping-car. j'en ai déjà un côté bûcher et je l'adore.
@@blackspruce1861 oui j'ai regardé la vidéo de la construction du hangar et j'ai vu que vous aviez un panneau solaire... c'est très utile avec la station d’énergie, c'est plutôt tout terrain quoi. Moi même j'ai acheté deux caravanes à rénover (de 1971 et de 1978) et je compte faire des vidéos youtube pour montrer comment je les ai renovées. c'est pour cela que je regarde toutes les vidéos de fabrication de vans aménagés ou de réhabilitation de vieilles caravanes. En France, il faut faire attention car il y a une législation qu'il faut respecter pour pouvoir rouler sur la route avec nos caravanes réhabilitées ou lorsqu'on utilise une remorque refabriquée. Sinon il y a un projet de Tiny house et une tente de toit pour voiture...
I knew...that was the reason for not painting the plywood right away. I did the same with a deck I built.
A LOT of people didn't !!! thats the way to go though I believe
The diesel doesn’t smell or maybe I can’t? But I put a top feed tank as the bottom fuel output lines suck and usually leak hence diesel smell
you must be immune to the smell . I can't stand the exhaust or the just the smell of the fuel itself .
Randy, same input. Using short piece of heater hose as mount/spacer would help w thumping noise
Thanks ! thats the first time i've heard of using heater hose for a spacer sounds like a good idea . My name's actually Ryan . not thats a big deal or anything I haven't really introduced myself much since my first few videos
Thanks for another great video. Such a nice little camper. Im sure both of you will enjoy it especially when you you find the cause of the ticking in your heater, and fix it like you do any problem you have to do. Then, your wife will sleep cozy. See you on your next visit. From Central Oklahoma
Thanks !! I'm really looking forward to getting a trip in
Why didn't you add a bathroom with shower, now in the middle of the night if you have to go outside? Not for me if would of build around the bathroom lol!
everyone has there preferences in a camper
Nice job. Maybe insulation around the fuel pump.
Thanks !! I've since used it and it really doesn't bug me
The sound of that pump is horrid. 100% needs sound dampening later and rubber offsets
yeah its a bit annoying lol
Good jobRyan.
Thanks dutch
You can run the 12 volt system from a high rate charger from 120 volt or 4 panel solar system on the roof.
I could but in this build I really didn’t want any holes through the roof
