Episode #10 is finally here. In this video I'll show you how I finished the exterior trim on Eddie. Lots of DIY tips are included in the video. A custom trailer requires a custom door. I go step by step on how I created a bespoke door for Eddie.

This is an awesome build! love the workmanship. You're going to have a camper that will last and give you many years of enjoyment!
Thanks Joel
Did not have the opportunity to see the trailer build. Fortunately have got around twenty years in welding and during that time got the experience to actually build wheels and frames for a twenty by five U-haul. From bottom up of frame and electrical work, so have the root knowledge of trailer building and your build will most likely be near my last projects in my life-time, since I'm unfortunately 71 now. If when I had the tools could now save a bit of economics, so welding and carpentry skills my little brother showed and taught me will save me some economics but the solar array learnt just recently. Thank you "Eddie," for all your ideals and definitely the video shots. As Bill and Ted would say, "EXCELLENT!"
your neighbor did a really good job backing in...cool trailer by the way
You can't buy a camper with that kind of quality.... Nice job!
Insane _is_ the membrane!!!!👍👍👍
Eddie is awfully good looking and he expressed the intention of keeping you and your loved ones warm and dry. well done.
You remind me of myself. Everything alone and a workaholic.
There’s something about this that’s aesthetically pleasing to watch!
This is coming out so incredibly man seriously
Eddie is looking great.
Thanks
Glad I seen your videos because I was thinking about building me one but after seeing the right way of doing it I think I will just buy one and build from it.
Nice video on a great builder small little trailer used to get a lot of use out of it
хороший трейлер...отличная работа!!!
Dude that's awesome
This build has been so fun to watch. Can't wait to see how the interior and the other systems are installed.
Thank you
Looking great. Love it. Attention to detail is outstanding. Built better than dealers who rush through assembly. Much applause.
great job, I appreciate all the little details you spent time putting in to make this trailer primo!
Well im glad you did this. We have a early 1964 Scott travel trailer. My brother and I cut it off the Fram. Sadly i couldn't use anything except the frame.
Been lookin at so many TH-cam videos on builds. But nothing i wanted to reproduce.
You did most of what i wanted. But I needed to see it in reality. Very good job. Thanks
I love the look of this trailer your attention to detail is impressive. Great job.🙂🇨🇦👍
Thank you very much!
Now you got me wanting to build one! Good job! I'd seal the door handle and lock screw if you havnt yet.
This is a very good Travel Trailer show and we love it !
Coming along great! Also, very impressive / well thought out design and improve. 👍✅
So much work, but it’s paying off! I am impressed
I hope when you used washers to hold roof edge trim back for water flow that you sealed around the screws to keep the water from getting in that area.
it´s crazy how mutch you can learn by watching this series ! i wouldn´t be surprised if the SUV was also builded , by you , from scratch , Scott ! with this series , you beamed me up :D
Thank you very much!
That is going to look absolutely awesome when it’s done. You do great work. Thx for sharing.
Thanks 👍
wow! This is upper level of the selfmade trailers, pretty nice work
Wow, thank you!
That is a superb buildout! I really like the rugged color contrast look, and the interior layout is perfect as well. Very nice and Look forward to seeing your next project!..
Thanks Todd
Just found your channel. Looks like a great build. Will need to check out more. Nice design elements with the black diamond plate and aluminum sheeting
Grate video Scot good job on the trailer your a very good crafsman you will no doubt have years of Grate use.
Thank you
Nice job Scott. Very sharp. I see you have utilized the SJ style of door latch - a locking deadbolt (but yours doesn't have a key sitting in there lol). I guess you just have to push the lock button to latch it on exit (or turn the thumb thing when inside). I figured a conventional latch would be more suitable for the regular in and out, then use the dead bolt to lock up at night. Having to put in a code every time you open the door from the outside when camping, on crown land with nobody around, that would be annoying to some. (unless you are putting a hydraulic closer on the door so it automatically pulls shut) We'll have to stay tuned to find out. Love the larger wheels, great clearance.
Looks awesome 👍😎
Thanks
You are a professional! I went out and bought a used RV. THE AMT of work you put into this AND THOUGHT, Is staggering. Well done.
Wow, thank you!
AWESOME GREAT JOB BOY.
Love seeing power tools at work...Nice job
Thanks 👍
Hi Friend, I have built two Trimarans (Multihull) and both, for the most part, solo, and I can't think of anything better than Joel Tremblay's comment. Very nice Job.
Lovely job buddy. It's coming on nicely. Good luck with the rest of it.
it's coming along very nicely Scott. It looks awesome.
I go tomorrow to see mine....one year to the day I ordered it!!!
Thanks buddy. You’ll put it to good use 👍
Great Job! That's a life time Trailer! You gave me Ideas about my doors; Thank you!
Glad I could help!
That is one awesome trailer, very good job
It is coming along very nicely. Great Job!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job! It looks fantastic
Thank you very much for the tutorial on doors.
I am really enjoying this build. Well done!
Awesome, thank you!
Wow looking very nice 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks a lot
very good!
Absolutely a cool build! Nice job!
Thank you
Awesome job your doing. Impressive!
Thanks
Nice job Scott!
Thanks! Bern.
Great video Scott
Bravo !
Looks great , very quality skilled build . Just found your channel & watched all the builds
Awesome, thank you!
I’m late to the build party, but man… this has been amazing to watch!!
I like it.
Nice job enjoyed your work.
Love your work very creative 👏 👌 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
This looks awesome! I’m excited for the interior
Same here
Love the build. Lumber has a mind of its own. If you ever need to re-build the door due to warpage, etc. You can do the same build but use LVL’s for the lumber. Or weld up thin steel. Steel isn’t hard to learn to weld for someone with your diy skills. If you plan to pay for it, go with aluminum.
Agreed
I like the selection of wheels and tires. That's one thing I've wanted to upgrade on for my 20' trailer. Aluminum rims and these are light truck tires? They look tough
Thumbs up Scott! 👍😁
Thanks 👍
Looking good. Thanks for sharing.
No problem 👍
great skills!
Great job , am amazed
Thank you so much 😀
At first, I was like "Hey, I cd pick up a few tips from this build." Then I was like "This guy could use some help."
A door and frame from salvage camper, modified to be wider and complete with recessed hardware and all the mouldings to keep water out would be a good way to go. Otherwise, great job 👍
Fantastic job really unbelievable! Thank you
Thank you very much!
Outstanding great job 👍👌
Thank you so much 😀
Great Job !!!!
God bless!Awesome job!
Very detailed work. You give importance to every little work. One man show hats off. Waiting to see the final product. All the best. Some day inshallah I will make one for myself. God bless .
Thanks a ton
Love it… great job…. I think I missed where you purchased windows and aluminum….. thanks… Don
Grate video Scot.
looking very nice
Thank you! Cheers!
Good job brother bestrong
Hey man I saw TH-cam video Very nice work I was just wondering how much it cost you to do all of that work I know you put a lot of hours into it We're just wondering💯👍🏾👌🏾
that will be a future video.
Great job 👏
Thank you! 😃
I have been watching this series and your others for a min. My point being you are very humble so being your TH-cam friend I'll say it. My projects never look that good my Friend you have a Picasso esq ability in your construction. If I hadn't seen it from the ground up I would say you ordered it custom from a known dealer. Outstanding work. So when can you fly down here to the states and help me do my DIY. Haha, good stuff bud.
Thanks 👍
Nice to have friends with a hydraulic brake 👍
Looks great
Indeed. Lol.
2:40 dude looks just like silent bob!
Stout and clean looking, might've inspired me to build something with one of my spare trailers. Tire load capacity is really the only variable I haven't learned from you, with your five lugs I imagine it's at least 2000 lb each?
Looks great 👍
Thanks 👍
@@DrenalinAdventures your welcome
Pretty inspiring. Nice work. I love the little interludes in which you explain some of your design or build logic. It is much more useful and instructive than just running the camera. Keep up the great work.
Just out of curiosity, For a one off project like this, where does one purchase sheet aluminum and black diamond plate cost-effectively?
I had to do some research in my area. There was only one company that sold it. Unfortunately the price almost tripled during Covid.
Well Don I love it ❤️
This is great and I am getting a lot of inspiration. It's easy to sit back and knit pick someone elses work but Another criticism: Whats gonna stop water from migrating in to the screw holes between your trim and rubber membrane? You should use screws designed to keep liquid out that have rubber grommets. I think you should have went with a door handle system that activates a latch so that you can keep your door closed with out the deadbolt. I'm sure you figured that out eventually
Great! This is a very nice project and thanks for sharing. Since I am the secretary of building stuff, I can't control my urge to build one for myself. What was the closest $$ estimate of your project cost at that time.
The only thing I can think of that would make that camper bomb proof is if you used steel tubing to frame out your walls,other than that you have one awesome camper! Love the outside kitchen idea,great job!
Thank you
already look better made than the trash put out by most manufacturers.
Awesome build ! I was wondering about the trim gap at the roof. Seems like leaves, small branches and debris would hang up in that small gap.
Not sure. Have to wait and find out.
2:37 => Starring Silent Bob :D
great build, I am curious as to why you used plywood on the floor instead of sheet metal with an auto uncoating on it?
I’d be tempted to 3D print a spacer to fill the window gaps. They design could be split across several prints then assembled and installed as a complete spacer. Material wise I’d use ASA for a combination of strength and UV resistance.
I always put blue masking tape on the bottom slides of my jig saw to avoid scratches...just replace as needed
Do you mind sending me a link to where you purchased the door hinges? Thank you!
Love your videos. Always very informative and great work. Where do you purchase your aluminum sheeting?
Essex metals
As watching you do the door I think I would have had the top alum part come out over the edge so when it rains the water doesn't get inside to rot the wood.
when project managers decide to build an RV...
Very interesting project you have here. How come you didn't use any 3m VHB tape and silicone?
I wonder how sheet vinyl flooring you can buy off a roll at hardware stores would make a great roof covering? Certainly be thick enough, and holds up to foot traffic, but sun might be hard on it. I suppose some roof white would help for sun damage.
you should do this for a living or a side job you are very good at it wish i could.
also you should have used Tyvek on the outside and inside another your walls, floor and ceiling, 1/4" isn't much and makes huge difference, spray in foam between the studs inside the walls, cover that and paint it, also you can use Z strip for an air gap on the inside for some serious insulation, might not seem important but not only is it a good sound dampener/proofer, it insulates on hot days and cold days, so you use less energy to cool or heat.. yessir
Do you have a video on how you installed the insulation?
