Its crazy just how many sponsors this man managed to fit inside a video on top of that he promoted that he is selling the camper he built, so he is getting free material, money and selling it to make even more money on top of becoming more popular. Now this is peak efficiency
I find it hard to believe he has 12 grand invested in this build.
@@duanethumudo3967 This. 12k will get you an used RV in decent shape with room for 3 other people. The whole tinyhouse / bus life / teardrop market is just scamming people with too much money.
@@duanethumudo3967 that's 8/9k
@@duanethumudo3967 The whole battery system probably cost close to 5k. if not more
Great for him! He has put in the work that 99.9 % of all people are not willing to do!!!
Noticed a really common mistake when venting your battery box at 18:45-ish. You don't want your intake sitting directly across from your outtake at the same height. This causes dead areas in the airflow. Instead, you want one high and one low. You also only need one fan unless you're specifically trying to create positive pressure inside the box.
That's correct it's very unlikely for people to make mistakes like this he did not think much about the placement of his intakes and outtakes
One fan pulls air in and the other pushes air out. They work really well the outtake of the inverter is near the outtake fan.
@@buildersblueprint Yes, I understand. :-) But fans blow in cones. So by having one blowing in at the same height as one blowing out, you've overlapped the cones and made a cylinder of air running from the intake to the outtake. The air blowing in will blow right out and leave eddies of hot air in all of the corners (especially at the bottom since you've put the holes at the top). Whereas if you had one low and one high, there wouldn't be overlap in the cones, meaning they're working together to mix all the air. But really two fans are unnecessary (though you still want the two holes). Since no two fans ever blow at exactly the same speed, you're either creating positive or negative pressure in the box (depending on which one is slower). Positive pressure would be great in a box containing a propane tank, but otherwise it's just kind of inefficient (it's not bad, per se, just a minor waste of pennies and electricity). Overall, you really want your intake to be low (where the coolest air is) and your outtake to be high (where the hottest air is). Any time you build an air system with two holes, you're creating a river of air between them; if they're at the same height, they really only cool objects in line with them. By varying the height, you create a diagonal which is a longer straight line, meaning it can cover more components. :-)
The intake should be low, and out should be higher because it will push the hotter air naturally up and out.
I’d be more concerned about water ingress. All of the holes added after the fiberglass are the first to leak once that construction adhesive gives way. House adhesives aren’t made to be driven on roads and especially not on dirt trials.
Use Piano Hinges on the doors. I build custom tiny boats and use piano hinges for all my compartment doors. You can find them cheap at Home Depot in multiple sizes.
Also the piano hinges will help prevent wood from warping/bowing in the middle over time.
@@freshwaterfiend6268 youre absolutely correct.
Locktite degrades locknuts plastic inserts, so you may as well have used regular nuts with loctite to bolt the frame together
Shhhh don't tell anyone he won't get a sale....lucky If he finds an idiot for 10k
Skizzor Jacks 😎😎 My man!!! We have a full set on our tent trailer and the difference in sleeping quality is amazing… oh also super stoked right now….I have been trying to put together a build plan for couple weeks now… You just saved me hours 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Sir!
Yea dude they definitely make a huge difference. I wana build another one but bigger so you can stand in it but gotta get some funds first lol. Good luck on your project hope it goes well ✌️
It was a lot of fun to watch! I love how you explain the process and show them in detail 😊
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed the film ❤️
Looks great! Id definitely suggest adding a side awning for small campers like this though. Theres some really nice ones that can fold away into a mounted box, and allow you to basically add an entire screen room to your camper. Really makes it a lot more functional as you then have a sheltered place to be in outside of the sleeping area
Wow, this project is amazing! I can't wait to try it myself. Your step-by-step instructions are super easy to follow
Clean little rig. Seen it posted on marketplace and will definitely make someone a nice sleeper!
Did I see right that you only have the internal wall 1/4" plywood that is fiberglassed in the wheel well?
I admit, I wondered about that as well. That is about the only real problem I personally saw with this build. I would like to know what he did in that area.
One of the best DIY teardrop builds I have seen on YT! Gave me lots of ideas for my own future build. I also really feel like I could easily follow along with this video as I do my own build.
I understand the comments and criticisms I saw from some folks, things to remember for other builders. But I wonder how many of those folks have even done their own builds...hmmm? Or are they just the kind of people who always have to be like "well I would have done this..." on everything (there never seems to be a shortage of people like that).
Overall I think this is a great build. Simple, no frills, but functional. Just my opinion.
I'm sry.... but, what???? 12k in materials??
I'd say a good portion of that is the electrical system, batteries aren't cheap
Yea what?! I just finished mine with a steel box frame and 360 insulation with even more accessories and mine came in around 2200$
@@danneradcox1808 that's my only guess. And that seems like HUGE over kill for a teardrop IMO
@@SamTaysProductions it's my best guess, I've never looked into this sort of thing so count me as an uneducated opinion lol
I built mine for about 3 grand, and that included buying tools I didn't have. 12 seems a bit over done.
Good build! I'm glad you welded that frame up. You'll never regret it. Great little squaredrop. Thanks for sharing.
Welding the frame definitely gives me piece of mind. Thanks for watching
I have made three teardrop Style trailers over the years and , I have to hand it to you , I just love how you have built this trailer , You have done all the right things to keep it water proof, clean and simple. Very well done . Just awesome . One thing I do different from you is I always use the 12 negative wire to switches for the lights. Thats so if there ever is a bad connection at a switch there is no live wires to short out. anyhow Great job
@@jayt838 thanks man I really tried my best to make nice as possible. Thanks for watching 🤙
That is honestly one of the coolest builds I've seen on here would have loved to have seen it be painted like green or something but that's just me great work everybody.
Dude this was some great work. All the "know it alls" in here are dumb you did some freaking great work on this camper. Definitely professional
Best build I have ever seen.
Amazing build and video quality as always. Your electrical system is off the charts and definitely high quality / high cost. I'd be curious to see a breakdown.
Awesome video as always thank you so much for making it ❤️
Really well done, and an excellent video. Looking forward to more. thanks
You did a great job building this camper! Great video!
Thank you for watching i’m glad you enjoyed it 😊
The GIRTH is looking super!! Great job guys
Awesome vid! So inspiring and great tips. 👍 ❤
I like how the camper is purpose built as a sleeper nothing too complicated.. the kitchen area makes a nice addition to the camper. Its simplistic yet cozy looking.
So how much does the finished camper weight. It looks like something I would like but I am limited at current time to needing it very light, 1200 pounds which I thing this will exceed. However I could be wrong.
This is an awesome camper ! Such a cool design😍
Thanks so much ❤️
I'm seriously impressed! Your creativity and technical skills are off the charts! This isn't just a camper, it's a masterpiece! 🔨
Wow, thank you! 😊
Great project. I really like the end result. It looks neat.
Thanks for watching I’m glad you enjoyed the film 🙌
Very nice craftsmanship
Build from zero, amazing journey 😊
Beautiful work!! I love every step!! Just Amazing!! ❤💪🙏
Thanks 😊
I made mine for about 2k 😅 these little campers are awesome taking mine out this weekend
Amazing product !! Great collaborative work with everyone involved
This is a much better build than the last one. I wouldn't have wanted to buy the previous one I saw but it's clear you've learned a lot and this one is better by leaps and bounds. I will say that I have concerns about that dump pipe. That thing could get knocked off if the trailer drags the rear overhang. Other than that I don't see any obvious faults. Awesome job.
This is awsome bro Camper of the year🤩
Thanks homie 🙌
Excellent video! thanks for sharing.
@@Beaux864 thanks for watching. New video going up in 1 hour 🤙
I would love to see you renovate an old popup camper. Mad skills bro.
We may do that this summer.
I’m glad you liked the video
Very good good job 👍❤❤❤❤❤
Great project and video! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
For someone who has never built a trailer like this, 12k seems like a lot. For anyone who has built one, they recognize the labor and cost that goes into one. I built an offroad trailer and several people have offered to buy it, or hire me to build them one, but none of those people recognize how much work goes into it.
Beautiful Workmanship! A nice addition might be propane plumbed to a stove and water-heater.
Labor, good point. I’m going to start charging myself labor on all my home improvement projects and send the bill to my wife. That seems logical …
Good luck with that.
The bill for laundry or whatever else she does will make you broke...
Wait.
She probably has you broke already...
Now you'll just make her mad as well...
I agree 12k is unrealistic, I retail those for less.
This is an awesome camper ! Such a cool design !
Thanks for watching 🙌
That drone shot though. Thing came out amazing man!
Thanks bro 🙌
I'd like to see a bigger back hatch for rain coverage and I'm curious how that thin plastic bottom will hold up against rocks and dirt.
That corrugated plastic is pretty.
With the foam and insulation in there, it feels like it’s as hard as a rock.
Just watched you first trailer build yesterday and watched this one today. This ones iteration is so much more solid. I love the water proofing you did on the bottom of this one. The design for this is way better. The way you did that venting for the electrical box didn't seem like it was complete though. How do you stop the fans from pulling water in when its raining? also I think someone has for sure mentioned it but not having some kind of grommet or protection where those wires go through the wood is going to be a fire risk eventually. Keep up the great work, can't wait for the next one!
Such a great build!! Keep up the videos!
Thanks Freddy. Email your address I’m going to send you a free hat.
Beerrunbus@gmail.com ✌️
One of the best one I have seen build great job bro.😊
Wow I should have waited before I bought my Rubicon 1200 rk from Coleman, it seems to me that u have a better build quality
Thank you for recognizing this. We try really hard to build these campers to the best of our abilities.
Looks great but why did you use a 60A 48V MPPT for a single 200W panel? A 12/24V 20A MPPT would have been much cheaper and would have made no difference.
Very well done
Nice job, both on the build and on documenting it.
@@sbaerman thanks I’m glad you enjoyed the film
By far thee best build 👌🏽
Really appreciate this comment 🙌
You're good! Champion
It’s incredibly nice! Overbuilt, which isn’t a bad thing. Its like the nicest house on the block and it being $200,000 more because its so nice but the average market there is $200,000 less. But some one who appreciates it and can afford a little dispensable cash will buy it just to have the best house on the block, or the best compact sleeping trailer.
Love how you did your subfloor plastic, and in general the whole build is great! The one thing I really dont like is the grey water outlet hanging in the back, I could see that catching on something and in general it looks out of place. These are just my thoughts, great job on the build though!
Another great build! cant wait for the next one!
Thanks 😊
Awesome!
Great video bro!
Appreciate it!
Awesome!! We need some mush!! shirts or hats!
Great build! really like all the different build techniques. 2 quick questions: how much does it weigh?
how much fiberglass/resin was required for this?
Thank you it weighs 1460lbs and we used About a gallon and a half of resin
@@buildersblueprint Thanks! One quick follow up... purchased the plans! nice work... it doesn't mention what weight fiber you used... I've never used fiberglass before... but i understand the weight of the fiber cloth determines how much resin you need... Can you confirm what fiber cloth you used? - Thanks!
Such a clean build❤
Thanks so much ❤️
Well I subscribed because I like the way you doing the videos and the work you're doing keep up the good work
Thanks Homie. I’m glad you enjoyed the film. 🤙
I’ve seen so many campers like this and I would LOVE to get a pod camper and make it high tech but I don’t have money right now so it’s gonna have to wait
Love it, the only one thing I don’t like on any trailer is weak mudguards!!! Every one sits or stands on them at some point so should be strong 👍🏼
I am building a foamy right now . Just finished the trailer and it was already $1500 in materials. Things don't come cheap nowadays. I am looking at $1000 for 2 doors $400 for 2 windows, $500 for fiberglass, $500 for foamboard, plywood and a few 2x2 $150, Fan $250. All and all it will be around $5500 when I am done. No galley. So his $12K with all the bells and whistle's is not unheard of.
Honestly thanks for understanding man. Some people just don’t understand how expensive things are these days. Good luck on your build btw 🤙
SWEET TRAILER !❤! Worth it!! Work of Love, And Craftmanship. 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed the film 🤙
Awesome job sir.
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed the film
That is a work of art!! Great workmanship ❤
Thank you very much!
Amazing work.... i really want to try and build my own.
Thanks so much ❤️
Стенки очень тонкие , немного еще утеплить надо, сама работа очень аккуратная и красиво сделана
Awesome job. Really enjoyed this build. Thanks for sharing
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed the film. New video coming out this Saturday. 🙌
Great project especially for the tools you are using. Next step is to get you a router!
uh oh. Better help ad. For anyone wondering someone released a video about better help recently and has also done so a few years ago. so go at your own risk and stay safe
Thanks!
Thank you ❤️❤️
Great job!
G'Day from Australia, this camper is Awesome my friend, totally love it. Great job, i would love one for the wife and myself. 😎🤠👍
Excellent brilliant beautiful 👍👍👍👍😊
Thanks i’m glad you enjoyed the film 😊
Wow! You're good! Quedo muy linda la camper!
Thanks 😊
Really good choice of colors!
Thanks 😊
I love it! Could there be a set of folding legs for the fridge cover to convert it to a table for a cookstove?
Thank you that’s actually not a bad idea
Thing is clean i love it tbh
Thanks homie 🤙
Way to go Tom!
Tom is the man
Like your video 🙏
You are not ruining it by diahrea talk🙏Calm informative.
Professionally filmed, final shot was perfect, work was exquisite. Were you planning on making these for a living? NIce JOB!
Amazing
Excelente trabajo 👍
A wood trailer for $12K is insane. I can get an off road trailer with independent suspension, lift, AC, roof rack, hitch and more for $12K. 😂❤
way way overkill on the batteries, charge controller, inverter.
You have 5000 watts of power, 60 amps worth of charge controller, and 3000 watts of inverter,, paired with a 200 watt panel.
It would take a minimum of 3 days to charge the batteries. You're 75% under your charge controller limit, and 2500~ watts over your inverter limit. This is like large RV power ratings for a teardrop. The fridge is going to use 35-40 watts in small bursts over the span of an hour. The tv is like 50 watts an hour max. The electrical system was more $$$ than the rest of the camper by several times over. I can't think of many use cases where you'd go off grid with it and not run out of potable water within 24 hours. I guess with that wattage you could easily run an induction stove for several days worth of meals.
Edit: actually more like 6000 watts of power.
I can't recall, but was there a shore power connection so that you could charge the batteries? You could get all charged up and the 200-watt solar panel would allow the system to equalize for all the parasitic power that is used from the inverter, etc.
@@aerobiotic I would assume it would be built into that charge controller, I'm pretty sure that costs a few times more than the trailer it's bolted to.
He is using 2 12V 200Ah batteries. That's 4,800 watt hours. At 13:44
You can never have too much power!
A 200W solar panel? That might not be enough. You could expect about 1000 watt hours per day of charging. That would power a fridge, but not much else.
Hello, You did a good job and better than any RV manufacturer would do. AND you did a very good job on your wiring. the front electronics looks like an electronics technician did it..I know, I used to be one.. and appreciate when I see a nice, neat job. Hope you sell it for a good profit!
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed the film ❤️
Great job as always! 👍
Thanks for watching 😊
That wool will settle over time leaving gaps and reducing the insulation efficiencies.
Im off grid and your system is beefier than mine!!! Great setup!!
Thanks we really are trying to make these campers as nice as possible.
Nice job, very impressive
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
bro did so much better than most of these homemade campers on the waterproofing of the underside
Nice build! - Stop using silicone for installation of doors/windows etc. Use butyl.
정말 대단하네. 이걸 만들다니... great job 👏 from 🇰🇷
Thanks 😊
Good Job
Omg, it's beautiful !
Thanks 😊
Looks awesome. What happens when that refrigerator stops working?
Nice work
nice work”s and video hy from Romania
