I bought this utility trailer for just $200 and challenged myself to build a trailer that was beautiful, functional, and cheap enough to build. With the help of a bit of new material, and a lot of reused scavenged material, I will turn it into a luxurious solo micro RV camper. The camper can probably sleep two, but just barely, if another section was added.

We also outfitted the camper with a Cubic Mini Wood Stove: cubicminiwoods...
The flooring was from Bigelow Flooring: bigelowfloorin...
We used as many salvaged materials as we could, from the parted out garage door sections for the frame, to the windows from an old camper RV we took apart last year. The trim was from an old house we renovated.
The wall sections, trim, and siding are all mechanically fastened with nails or screws and glued with construction adhesive to make sure they don't loosen up when the trailer is hauled on the road.
We added lots of extra features like an outdoor cook station that drops down, interior storage in open wood containers, drop down desk and fold up Murphy bed to free up interior space. The camper is outfitted with interior and exterior lighting, hook spots for cookwear and clothing.

"Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective. and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle.
I know I am 2yrs later but you won this challenge Kevin. I love how you thought of everything a person would need to be off grid and comfortable in the woods.
This book th-cam.com/users/postUgkxT9ExVpR-3A-9rpRqx8vzXKZ3BMMTg_KH does have a lot of great information on the building of sheds, design ideas, building options, etc. The author goes through the steps to build a foundation, framing, roof, even ideas on internal storage and external finishes. The text is easy to follow and understand. There are many sidebars that give tips and advice which most laymen probably wouldn't have considered. The photographs are great quality too. This is a great book and I'd recommend it highly for anyone needing or interested in building a shed.
I like Zack, but his doesn’t hold a candle to yours. You win by a landslide!!!!!!
That is for sure a GIANT CANADIAN LANDSLIDE LOL LMAO. but must say you starting to get all bases covered. But what food store-age EG; 12 volt freezer, 12volt fridge just some more ideas. some place to carry dishes and silver wares. forgot beer also ;-)
There is a fridge/freezer
@@ModernSelfReliance yeah but where is the bath room? (Just kidding) You have a lot of features built in.
I agree Kevin wins hands down, especially for recycling materials. Good job.
Yeah..lol....this one is hands down the winner...ya buddy needs to take some notes.....
Kevin to Kevin.... You clearly won. I love that you repurpose products. Give us all hope that we can create awesome things too!
You win
Hands down, this glamper is just perfect. Its not even about "technology". This one just seems more comfortable, useable, and more "camper"
You win! I enjoyed Zach and his channel, love his prayers and his time with his brother and his daughter.
A nice “throne” can be made from a folding lawn chair. Remove the ribbons from the seat, and fasten on a piece of plywood in their place. A hole in the plywood, and a toilet seat facilitates the “sitting and thinking” part. Place your lined 5 gallon pail under the chair. A roll of TP in a coffee can completes the outfit.

Somebody makes a toilet seat that attaches to a bumper that folds up and out of the way for storage. He could attach one of those to the outside of this micro rv and you could sit a 5 gallon bucket underneath it.
@@pattyroe I’d guess that I would be very sure to have the car keys in my pocket if I were using THAT throne. It would be pretty exciting if someone started to drive it away! ;-)
Self reliance. Thought, ingenuity and knowledge. Not a hodge podge and a ton of money, to still look incomplete. Good job modern self reliance.
That tool was absolutely frightening, it has the power to cut off a limb. You win in the glamper off, awesome little place.
It is a little scary at first. Don't listen to the void.
@@ModernSelfReliance I was imagining it in a mobster movie being used to cut off the finger of someone as punishment lol
Both yours and Zach's were built with heart, obviously to be enjoyed by loved ones. Thanks for ALL the creative and wonderful ideas. Not gonna choose a winner. 🥰
The best camper is the one that gets you out of the daily grind, especially in this pandemic locked up world! I enjoy all your guy's channels (Kevin, Chris, Zack, Greg). Watching from Oregon, USA!
Ditto!
You're definitely the winner by a long shot! So many comfort features that Zack didn't have.
You're the Dr.Frankenstein of the construction world. Finding parts of other projects and creating your own monsters.
😊😊😅. Good Thoughts!
Alex 1 - Hear hear!
You win for your ingenuity. Lots of value in your glamper. You win!
You make my day,your the only TH-camr that makes me laugh out loud. You and Don are the dynamite duo
Of the North.
You win. Zac did a real nice job, but you had the ability to utilize your space to actually sit stand sleep and the water system is innovative. Love it.
You might want to consider getting a door mat that can double as a shower mat. That way you don’t get muddy while you are showering. These additions seem really solid though. Great work as per usual.
I got mine at Dollar Tree
That is an excellent idea!!
I’d also change the shower head to a handheld unit. That way you can wash off your feet or save toilet paper ;-)
A square of plastic or wooden slat material would be a better idea.
@@myfavs253 I was thinking one of those heavy duty recycled tire style mats. Those things are pretty tough and would last a long time in those conditions.
Modern Self Reliance for the win. Really liked all the re-use of many materials, frugal and multipurpose.
It’s been a challenging and busy week for me with the start of the school year right around the corner. Thank you Kevin and Don for today’s awesome video! I appreciate the message of self-reliance having the ability to create awesome quality items without busting the budget. Thanks Boys!!!!
Wowwww! Such a fantastic job! You could use those plastic chip bag clips to keep your shower curtain closed against wind. They come in lime green color. Also I would cut off each corner on the wood that holds your toilet seat, so it does not dig in the legs. You have many wonderful features on here, it is totally awesome.
Another suggestion is to glue or velcro on some rigid plastic, a narrow strip on the bottom of your black out curtains , to keep them from turning up at the bottom. So the weight keeps them down. 😁💙
So impressed! Not only is it a cool build, it’s a highly functional and collapsible working build! So great. Sorry Zach, you’ve been bested!
You are the winner. Yours is a cut above, love it.
Carbon monoxide detector goes down somewhere. And smoke detector goes up. Is like dirt cheap investment that potentially can save your life. Keep up the good work, looks amazing. Best youtuber ever to get inspiration from 😎
Had to look if someone else noticed.
according to the EPA: Because carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air and also because it may be found with warm, rising air, detectors should be placed on a wall about 5 feet above the floor. The detector may be placed on the ceiling. Do not place the detector right next to or over a fireplace or flame-producing appliance
I stand corrected 😁 I just saw many videos on camping with small space enclosures that usually place one smoke detector on the ceiling and the CO detector on the floor ( f ex Buddy heater stoves that have a CO system detection buily into it) and that is why I have suggested the same 😊
@@razvantraian5003 Same here. Now looking at all the recommendations and seems like the consensus is that it goes where the air goes.
I guess in the past the recommended placement was different.
My previous comment mentioned Zack will “be towing a wet sponge”…. Zack’s is now growing MOLD…!!!
YOU WIN
Nice additions to the glamper! Just a friendly suggestion on the coil cause I use one to heat my pool. If you box it in an add a piece of Plexiglas on top it all get hotter even with low sunlight. Great build man!
Winner, for ease of access, comfort and convenience features. spacious build.
I love your camper! You have a brilliant mind and ability to make something from nothing. This little camper has everything you would need. Good job!
I think that you both win. I think that your miniature house is beautiful, really is gorgeous!!! But I do not like stuff hanging on the outside, it just doesn't look pretty.
But yours has more modern commodities, I "ll give you credit for it.
On the other hand, Zack" s little treiler is missing on a lot of stuff, like a shower, windows, etc. But is beautiful and cozy. Everything is tucked away. And he has a big bed, at the end of the trip is what we most need when traveling or camping away from home. I enjoy both of you!!!
I'm looking forward to Zach's episode tonight to submit a new judgment on the updated Glampers!
YOU WIN KEVIN!!! Hands down. His isn’t even close!!
As your build 'fleshed out', I was more and more reminded of Depression Era newsreels showing 'Okies' traveling to California with all sorts of things hung or lashed on an old vehicle. It isn't 'Glamperous' but it seems to be functional and efficient.
The suggestion for an awing thingy and a sliding window at the kitchen to watch your food while cooking and passing, was a good idea.
Ah it just went from a good night to a great night, love your videos.
Hands down, Kevin, you've won the camper build off!
Man, I really love Zack and his camper, but I think I would pick yours because it's not all bed and it's so well lit. But either camper would be a huge step up from what I have now, which is a sleeping bag.
😂😂😂me too!
I just watched both builds (2yrs late) and by far you have Zack beat by a long shot! Your attention to details and the fact you recycled and repurposed so much of your glamper materials is inspirational and truly amazing👍🏻
Thanks for sharing🙂
You have thought of everything. Zac's is good for maybe a night or 2 but yours would last the distance on a longer term Glamping adventure. I really like how you can just step into and walk around in it and it is so multi purpose. In my book you win for sure. I really like your jokes also.
I can't choose a winner. You both made amazing glamper campers! Two winners!
I see two things that you may want to address. The TV next to wood stove. You should put a heat protect separator between stove and tv. Also you may want to make two poles with tie downs for the front of awning. Wind will whip the awning quite a bit. Otherwise it looks great. God Bless
Strong wind might lift you and your glamper and carry you "a la Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz" all the way to us here in Spokane WA! That, my friend, would be awesome. Especially if Don was with you 😁❤
Two Thumbs Up! We were thinking the same thing!
The awning will sail in the wind without better framing and outside edge supports.
Concrete filled PVC with screw eye is a easy weight.
My husband and I really like your glamper and could easily see us using it. We feel you win.
I liked it before but the extras are great. Would love to camp in it any day.
A storage box for the buckets, awning tools etc. above the water tank?
Need to do a glamping collab and just get a bunch of homemade campers out on a trip. That would be fun to watch.
15 gallons = 120 pounds. Interesting video. Consider mounting the black hose over the entire surface of the roof and cover with a plastic sheet to trap heat. Do you have any plans to permanently mount the Jackery solar panels to the roof? They could cover the solar water heater and improve efficiency of both. Thanks for sharing this video. We need to see a video of you and your wife glamping for a weekend. Wishing you another blessed week. Cheers
125.1
You won the 1st round, and you throttled Zach on this 2nd round. I'm not sure you missed anything and I can't wait to see this in action. Congratulations and God bless.
Add magnets or something to your shower curtain
This is the most woodchuck thing I've ever seen. I love it.
Roll your blinds “under”. They will stay closed better when unrolled.
That's a good idea.
Damn, what a simple solution. I was slightly annoyed by the curling when they were down and I was thinking about how he could have bottom straps or something. But simpler is often better!
Apply tape magnets to underside edge of floor mat window covers and to the window frame for a more air tight fit. Comes on a roll like tape does. Can also be done with Velcro.
I much prefer this one, as you can sit properly in it, and I like the wood burner too. You win.
It’s very nice. I want to see the looks from people as you ride by. I think you should call it “the snail” because it looks like you’re carrying your house behind you.
Micro Camper... NOT a Doll House... Got it... Love it!!!
Excuse me... Glamper?
You win!
I've followed Zach since he was on alone and I'm not afraid to admit you won. You blew him away. Sorry Zachary.
Ship this to Greg Ovens before winter. It would make a great test and the best videos for it. It's definely rocky Mountain ready!
I see an opportunity for a three way luxury survival challenge. Wooded beardsman, Zach in their glampers and Greg Ovens in his teepee. How long can they survive they can't take any food but can use anything that they can use anything from their provided shelters. Fall would be perfect, during hunting season. You did an incredible job with this, beats Zach hands down. Thanks for sharing.
Can I use my phone to order-in?
@@ModernSelfReliance Once the camera is off who will know?
The challenge between you and Zack is no competition. Yours is better!
Just love it💕. So many really clever thoughtful additions. Can’t even imagine a better escape module. Wish it was mine. Yours is the winner hands down. Bless Don for his company and all his help
I love both of the shows but you win!!!!
In such a small space, you are going to need a vent to allow an air intake for the small stove. A tiny vent to the outside would do it.
Open a window a tiny bit and tada! venting. LOL
No question, you won. Looks really cozy. Well done.
The only thing you need to add is a magnetic strip to hold the shower curtain closed.
Or just overlap the curtain on the hooks😊
Buy a little level that you can stick to the outside of the glamper. That way you know for sure when it’s level. I love watching you build this. Coming up with all of these cool ideas & adding to it. I think that would be awesome to go out & truly camp. Great job!!!! I think the next project should be you & Zach building one together from scratch. Between the both of you I could only imagine how fantastic that would be.
just use a pool noodle around the rim of the bucket instead of the seat
I was thinking put the pool noodle on the bucket and then connect the toilet seat to the pool noodle so you could have a lid on it for multiple day compost toilet type application.
I do believe the clear glamping winner is you sir. YOU WON!
Would be good to make a small mini-deck (something like a pallet) as a floor for the shower -- so you aren't standing in the mud after running the water.
Tarp
Gotta love Zack’s effort, but you win hands down
Your build is far more superior from the start. . . But Zach's time with his daughter in his build is priceless!
His improvement still didn't match up to yours. . . It's also Sasquatch/Bigfoot proof compared to his 😄
Kevin, you are a carpenter and Zack is a fisherman!
I watched Zack's part 2 and I was pretty excited to see that he addressed some weatherproofing issues, but in the end, I still feel like you won. Yours is more versatile and practical. His has the really cool, huge bed/lounge and the video/video game setup, but for me that's not important. Yours takes the cake with running water and a portopooper. I thoroughly enjoyed both of your builds, but hands down, you're definitely the winner
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL JOB!! ZACK BETTER SPEND A BUNCH TO CATCH UP!! GOD BLESS ALL
You are hilarious Kevin... you are the winner regardless... although you need a peephole for bear while on throne lol... now you need to build a few more World's Best Campers to rent out for tourist or whom ever
Nah... Those things can be sold with just a bill of sale. Meaning.. Someone can cross state lines, disappear with your camper and register them in their name and you are out of a camper. Unless you are able to hide a good GPS module in the camper and they don't find it and toss it.
You’ve got everything, including the kitchen sink 😉
Yours wins by a landslide, great job!!!
The battery jump starter is amazing, glad you have some things to help you in whatever scenario you may find yourself in.. God bless!
Both are very nice campers. I like yours because of repurposing materials. Both are fine examples of workmanship but I vote for your camper as the winner.
You win! I love the jacks. Shower curtain is wonderful too!
Carbon dioxide monitor should be down near the floor. It's heavier than air.
It detects carbon monoxide and it is lighter than air so he is good.
Carbon dioxide is heavier than air, but carbon monoxide isn't.
Carbon dioxide is a small part of the air we breathe and heavier than oxygen. The detector is for carbon monoxide which is lighter than air. Thank you for that nugget because I enjoyed the research part. Took me a while to clock u were talking about dioxide. My reading needs a detector!
Kevin’s Glamper wins... hands down
off topic, but, speaking of showers, I have an indoor and outdoor, I prefer outdoors during warm weather, don't ask me why- I haven't a clue. Probably because it cuts down on cleaning the indoor shower
Air flow
Yes love an outdoor shower. So much better than indoors
Make a little wood slat floor mat that mounts to the wall beside the shower. Place the mat on the ground before the shower and keep your feet clean from the muddy ground. Rinse it off and hang when done. It can also be used at the door to keep the inside clean. May also need a heat shield between the FP and plastic TV. Nice build.
Your camper is more convenient and comfortable. You win..
Ingenious, absolutely ingenious. You’ve got the knack!
You are the winner by far. Zack is a local boy here in Maine, but you beat the hell out of his 🥲 tear drop 🤣
Screens is a win. Those jacks also aren't so shabby. :) OK, that is pure awesomeness...
Add a mirror for shaving at the shower with a cover over it so it doesn't break. Also... toilet paper holder!! THEN it's perfect! lol. this is so awesome. We love your video's!!!
4 Star camping ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Your camper is Best little camper i ever seen!
Delight! Your the Shakespeare of precision / inventive carpentry, the David Cooperfield of mystifying multi-purposing and the CS Lewis of understated unassuming humour! In a word, delightful! I'm sure there's a more masculine word form which expresses my sentiments but off the top of my head, there you have it! Thanks for this! Love it!
Wow! I might have to put that on my wall!
@@ModernSelfReliance YES! That's probably a good idea, b/c life, real day to day life, has a way of kicking the "S" (the first "S" you talked about), out of us! And we need to remember that we are valuable and loved, even when we mess up!
You did it again! You're the man, @Modern Self Reliance! Fowler's Makery and Mischief got spanked by your Glamper, lol!! I like the added features. I'm sure Mrs. @The Wooded Beardsman is gonna love it! You win hands down! Awesome work, Kevin!
This is definitely the better glamper. Very cool!
You win 👍 Fowler's is good, but your overall creativity & how you mainly use repurposed materials on your projects is fantastic🏆 Great tiny house!
You Win! That glamper is sweet! I would love to have that for my hunting land!
You win. It's not even close. That thing would look sweet in my backyard. I could use a man cave!
I love that you just do stuff. No plans? No problem! You just get out there and see what works! If it breaks you'll fix it, but if it works then you just built something amazing! Much love, my man!
That's the plan!
I sub to both you and Fowler and have seen both glampers. While I like both, I think yours is the winner. I am all about that rustic cabin feel.
two different camper.. a simple camper and the portable camper... i love both of u.. it about how u create a better one.. a cheap or expensive..
Thank you for part 2, shared with several. Family and friends…I’m Canadian but from The other end of the country….if I was any younger I would be doing this too
Kevin, your Glamper Camper is the Champer!
Modern self reliance for sure!
You win Kevin! Fantastic build.
I LOVE YOUR CAMPER
You win , Zack still has no water .
You got the full glamp kickin with that shower . He built a nice teardrop but yours is
More minihouse with all amenities.
made a micro camper from a s250 military radio shack mounted on a hmmwv trailer i.d. 6' 4" x7'. made the same screens, carpeted floor and two small beds on either side. lots of questions when we go camping. folks seem to love it. happy camping !
