    I too am an electrician that appreciates someone that cares about how "clean" the wires look.

      I concur as a lectricon. Very workman like manor. This camper is awesome. Quality and detail without feeling like you drug a mobile home with you. Looks functional while still allowing you to utilize the outdoors since that is why you left home.

    What a lovely little Travel Cabin you've created, simple, yet entirely capable of the necessities of safety, security, warmth, beds, seats, and somewhere to prepare food and cook and to take care of personal hygiene requirements.
    You have every reason to be proud of your wiring, as a former motorcycle mechanic and electrician, I recognise good wiring when I (rarely) see it, and you've carried out a beautiful installation.
    Your Travel Cabin is light, airy and elegantly simple and simply elegant!

    Your camper works for what you and it’s functional. It’s also very sturdy. I am looking forward to hearing more of what you have to add to your comments I like the size of the bed. Obviously the cooler works very well.👍

  • @normdolbeck1053
    @normdolbeck1053 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The only thing I have to say is, thank you for making this video, I also have an F-150, & would love a camper like this, so I don't have to modify the suspension, very well done, I love the power box, most people would just through the wires in there & think that's good enough, this gives me the inspiration to start my own project camper, thank you.....

    In my industry your electrical work falls under what we call "workmanship standards", also pride in what you build. Yes Sir, your electrical work is indeed something you should be proud to show off, it looks great! Fantastic series and to see the final product is awesome. Someday you will have lessons learned what you would have done different so please share those when you have a few thousand camping trips under your belt lol! Looks great, enjoy your success!

    @johnwhite362 19 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Thanks for your camper build It's been a great help to me...I have a Ridgeline, my son, a Ford. Your dimensions helped me to design for both. The whole "step" with power was very helpful and smart. Editorial comment.. I'd rather hear "...ignorant," uninformed, rather then "...stupid," possessed of low intelligence. You do not possess low intelligence, and you gained knowledge through the process.
    You are wise in changing your design to meet your purpose.
    Enjoy the journey.

    Idiots would call you an idiot for starting like you did. But real men and real people know that it’s and adventure and learning experience. Only idiots don’t try.
    You are awesome and it looks great. Just wish I could get past the nay sayers. I will, just matter of time.
    My plan is to first buy a used slide in and modify it.

  • @warrenscorner
    @warrenscorner 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Awesome job on the camper! I also like the look of a neat electrical panel. Very professional! I would have put a bathroom in but that’s my preference. I’ve been trying to sell our truck camper because it doesn’t have a shower. We need to be completely self sufficient during this coronavirus bullshit. Maybe I could just add one? Remodel a truck camper?

  • @marcbrunton1164
    @marcbrunton1164 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    YOU are 100% inspirational. I wish I could build something like this camper. Now understanding this is a slide in model, how much more work would it take to use the space on the drivers side rear of wheel well to install a cassette toilet/shower combo? Great video, thanks again.

  • @richardalberts3151

    Love the camper and the video! Both are very well done 👍 the only thing I would have done slightly different is the floating table. I would have made it mountable outside to facilitate outdoor cooking. That being said I’m more of an overlander style camper and I don’t care for campgrounds with picnic tables and the extra amenities.

    As far as it being small...I want to build one for myself for those just me trips. Similar, but no over cab. Also, set up with just solar, and possibly charging from the truck also. Ac would be the biggest thing to figure out. This would not go to campgrounds. Love your quality build and your respectable presentation!

  • @DG-ti4qc
    @DG-ti4qc 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Overall design you nailed it! IMHO (and I wish I could build what you did.) The interior is way more spartan than one I saw where he didn't do the bed over cab. He did an impressive interior layout in a way small space. Sink porta potty exc. Its on the youtubes so I'm sure you've seen or can find it. Awesome job over man. Very impressive!

    Awesome build!! I am designing one myself to build and yours gave me a lot of great ideas. I really like the material you used. I think honestly the only thing I'm going to do differently is going to be the roof. I plan on using a pop up style roof to make it have a lower profile while on the truck.

  • @m1carbine-ibm423

    Your not stupid. Give yourself more credit. Life is a learning issue. The way you built your camper is very nice. Good build quality. And yes. You paid good attention to weight. From the start. Your outlook on life is good.
    Camping is not about going to a camp ground. Push some buttons. Slide outs come out.
    And you never see the people.
    Its about 2 things.
    1. FAMILY
    2. OUTDOORS

  • @coherantbliss3483
    @coherantbliss3483 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I like it...I like the simple clean design (simplicity!). I'm a fabricator and built 2 custom street rods, a custom Jeep, a custom 76 step-side 4x4 chevy and now a 1 ton dually 4x4 flatbed. I'm a retired custom cabinet shop owner too...and this camper looks European...simple, clean and usable. The only thing I'd have done different is add more rivets...but that's just who I am :). You built it for the weekend getaway...load the food and go. Very nice indeed. Pat yourself on the back buddy. Most naysayers don't actually build anything...except their own laziness lol. I hope you have a lot of wonderful memories.
    EDIT: May I ask what the brand/model number is for your jacks? I'm thinking about building a camper for my dually flatbed. Thanks!
