Very cool and I look forward to the rest of the build. I kept expecting you to stop at some point, disassemble, glue, and reassemble the structure. When the nail gun came out that was put 'paid' to! Lack of glue really surprised me (I've built wooden boats and rely more on glue than fasteners). Best of luck!
In the interests of tying all the individual pieces together, and easing working stresses on the fasteners, I think I would have used some adhesive to tie skin to framework... it is looking good!
Gluing wood end grain with pocket hole screws on butt joints works good till you stress it. This camper will be experiencing earthquakes on every trip.
What material did you use on the outer walls? Very cool build. And no, not every single joint needs to be glued. If still needs to expand and contract with climate change.
If this is going to weigh over 1000 lbs or 450 kg , you need to change the suspension and at least put LT tires on . And before someone jumps at me with the usual " oh, I've had 1500lbs on the bed of the truck , and it was fine" No , it wasn't fine , you just survived it. It's the combination of weight and bulk and the good old centre of gravity.
@@gregorybowden4460 Glue adds a SHIT TON of strength and I was going to comment the same thing as I am building my own trailer, based on a wooden frame construction as well. I tear the wood fibers out, before the glue lets go in my test samples and a 90deg frame feels a lot more solid, compared to just screws. It is a must imho, to not rely on the screws, especially for rigidity, longevity and noise.

@@syntetyczny its birch, of course its relatively heavy but its also quiet thin... a shelter out of metal wouldnt be much lighter. only thing which is lighter would be sandwich panels but we dont need much more non recycable waste material on our planet... so hes doing a good job.
@@MrSylvester1111 I did constructions from 4-6mm plywood. This material is quite sturdy and light. I'm surprised that people are using 8-10mm plywood. That means that they haven't done their homework properly...
Muito top , sempre tive vontade de montar um bicho desse só que jamais imaginei montar tão prático e simplificado assim top mesmo só não faz quem não quer
That's some fine woodworking skills there. Curious to see the final result in terms of weight. I have not found anything other than regular truck caps or 4wheel's truck topper(420lbs.) that I would find acceptable in a half ton. I'd like no more than 700lbs. in the bed...total, gear and all...(yeah, I know, good luck right...)
I recently made a truck cap (which will become a wedge camper, eventually), that sits on my bed rails and weighs about 50kg. Steel space frame and clad with composite panels. The panels were DIY'ed in the sense that I made them, but as a boatbuilder its standard fare. They're also slightly heavier, as I wanted a plywood core for impact resistance, being a work vehicle. With the right construction, I think you could get a framed slide-in camper shell to be 150kg. Less if you were to make it a monocoque composite.
Yes, you need to use glue or adhesive on all the studs. As you go down the road or trails the structure will twist and flex and all the screws will come loose.
Fascinating watching how you put this together. But I’m wondering just how much more it would cost just seven months from when you built it? With the price of lumber skyrocketing!
Very nice start. Ignore the negative comments. I love the use of the Kregg! 2 questions: 1) Did you think about swapping the pocket hole sides (ex: one set on the top at one end & the other set on the bottom at the other end) or does it matter? Was curious if it would reduce torsion. 2) What is your source for the exterior? I ask as I'm in process of building my own PU camper from Glen-L
I would remove the truck bed and attach the custom camper directly to the frame. Adding strength and lowering the center of gravity and reducing the weight
Inclined to think that the weight of this will make the only way you can get it into the bed of the truck on your own is with an overhead crane and that a minimum of 4 people lifting it will be the only other alternative..
Thomas Maker you’d use those camper lift legs that you put on the 4 corners that lift the trailer a few inches then pull the truck out. Standard for all pickup bed campers.
They are special screws used specifically with the drill gig he is using. They are called Kreg Pocket-hole screws. I bought the gig and screws after watching him do this. My plan is to do just a topper.
@@low225 yeah, the pocket hole screws are a completely different type of screw, specifically designed with a smooth section of shaft below the head and the screw portion at the end, to draw the two pieces of material together. For the outside material he skinned it with, it looks like he used regular "needle point pan head screws"...I'm guessing 1/2" or 3/4", but it looked like he skinned it with regular formica, which is just basic countertop material, and is extremely brittle. I don't see the camper lasting very long if exposed to the elements, but it's fun to watch him slapping stuff together....like a carpenters science experiment LOL!
I don't want to be negative, I want to be constructive. This will fall apart in a few years as each screw augers out, there is no glue. it will be to heavy for a half ton truck, i wouldn't even put it on a 3/4 ton. Once you get it finished, and put anything inside. That Plywood weights a ton. Fiberglass might save the project, then you'd need half of the lumber too. It's one thing to put max weight (which this will be over) suspension.
As a professional woodworker / stair builder. You glue all joints. This thing will not hold together very long. It's a shame to watch him go through all this work only to know it will be falling apart within 2 years
He also better have a 3/4 ton or more. This all wood box would kill a half ton truck. Couldn't tell from the early part of the bid what truck he's got. Edit its a half ton. So he'll be over GVWR. Have to aim for aorund 1000 to 1200 lbs for most half tons and you can't get that with wood. Have to do alumunum frame or thin skin and fiberglass.
looks like a 1500 series ram from another video of his. the box wont kill the truck its the ability to put anything in it. I have been tempted to build something like this over the years to keep it light vimeo.com/15725356
If you've ever taken apart a factory camper, you'll find that they use very little glue and are of the cheeziest manufacturing practices. Almost guaranteeing they will leak and shake apart after a few years use. It takes a pretty big step up to find a well constructed camper.

Thank you for not putting annoying music in the background.

You're obviously talented and you have the right tools for the job. Look forward to seeing it finished.
You know you're watching a master when they make it look so easy. Truly masterful.

Saubere Arbeit Diggi! 😃 Ich bin sehr auf die Fortsetzung gespannt! 😍
😊🤘thanks bro
Wonderful job, mad skills my man. Can't wait to see you using it.
Lots of practice making speaker boxes I would gather.
If there was ever a version of an IKEA slide in camper, this definitely it, the build is very efficient and there's very little in wasted materials
Staggered the supports, good idea
subscribed. Wow! this looks awesome (and so far, light)
What material did you use on the outer walls? Very cool build. And no, not every single joint needs to be glued. If still needs to expand and contract with climate change.
Looks like fun to have the tools, space, know-how!
Really like the paint on the truck

Pretty nice work, dude! The exterior is looking great! 😃

like the gizmo for drilling joints
The sheathing on the exterior provides the reinforcement for the joints. They'll last decades.
Amazing build dude😁 Well done!
I'm curious how will it weight in the end. Good luck!

Very well built camper, I've a question? You seem to use two sheets for the roof, how did you join the seam so that there are no leaks?
Fascinating watching how you put this together. But I’m wondering just how much more it would cost just seven months from when you built it? With the price of lumber skyrocketing!
How original! That is a plexiglass exterior? I too am curious what it will weigh in at. Full amenities? I'm amazed at what I have seen so far. Tony
I'm curious why wouldn't you glue it? before you screwed it? it's just a question looks like an awesome build
Not done yet so stay tuned 😊🤘
If it's Phenolic coated ply like ^ another guy posted, glue doesn't stick to it well.
Well thank you I love learning this stuff 👍
zachary bullfinch
That doesn’t make sense, if glue doesn’t stick to the shell, then those pocket hole joints will have extreme pressure on them!
Way past cool! Thanks.

Nope.
Those are called " Filmsperrholz" or " Siebdruckplatte". Basically Plywood with an outer layer of phenolic resin.
