Score high in all categories thus far, but you get BONUS mad lad points for not closing the rear off to early in the build. Either that was a genius part of the original plan, or a happy little accident, leaving the back open for finishing the interior is going to be WAAAY easier.
Camper looks great. Some folks say to iron the painter's drop cloths before you use it to help smooth out the wrinkles from it being folded up. Looking forward to seeing you finish the inside.
I'd like to make a suggestion for your videos.The nature shots at the beginning are beautiful but the edit cuts are too fast. Double or triple the time of each shot and you'll set a much better aesthetic.
Great video man 👍 I don't know much about diy and camper builds plus I've never done it yet but I'm sure it must've been knowledgeable and helpful for those who do it
Liked the video and almost made 3/4 of the way through it, but the "music" was driving me up a wall! Switch from 33 1/3 rpm to 45 rpm on your record player or something...
I made mine with rich mans fiberglass using epoxy. Theres advantages to wood glue. Such as it shrinks to like a 4th of its weight. I built it with foam and nearly no wood.
That's awesome. I was originally going to do just foam and epoxy but wasn't sure how a camper this size would hold up just foam though. Was yours a similar size?
@@Tjeppx mine is 6.7 wide 8 feet long and 6"4 tall on the inside. So it's pretty decently big. Using thicker foam gives better rigidity and so does coating the inside and outside. That makes a huge difference. It seems kinda ridiculous to build it out of foam but it is quite strong. It does become more flexible when the walls get hot but it's not bad.
2 gallons of epoxy cost $80. I am not sure how you could save anything. use one material instead of 3. One porcedure instead of 3, faster stronger... Could someone explain the benefit?
I believe so. I used this technique based off multiple TH-camrs, but one I can direct you to in this case would be The L Wood by Lucy. She does a great job explaining the process using foam.

That's gotta feel so good to have it your own construction. Nice looking too.
Thank you! It really does, plus I’ll know just how to fix it if something go wrong 😂
When you're like me doing/planning projects....it's great to watch someone else work their ass off with chill music as I sit on the couch ;)

Hahaha, had to be part of the original plan in order to fit the floor in and get exact measurements for the doors once on the truck 👍

Great job. Can’t wait to see the finish and trim out.
Daddy why does the man wear his hat backwards in the house? Because there's no sunshine indoors 😂😂😂 Great looking camper BTW, nice job!
The hat also helped prevent the glue from getting in my hair. Don't think titebond 2 works well as hair gel 😆
That s a nice looking camper.
well done. i learned something today . thanks
Awesome video, nice work….
looks great!

Appreciate it!
imagine a rhino bed liner on that
Cool build but put the dang cover on that electrical panel before it kills you...

The seam you're referring to is called a hem

Any idea if pmf works on the smooth film of polyisocyanurate foamboard.... it's R value is 6.5/ in rather than 5/in pinkboard

Nice videos, dude. I just might have to copy you
It’s fun, go for it!
Est ce que tu dilue la colle avec de l’eau?
Oui
Combien de pourcentage ?
Next time buy a steamer and steam the wrinkles out before applying the canvas.
Good idea. Forgot to mention I threw the canvas in the washer and dryer before applying which took most wrinkles out. Then the iron did the rest.
I wonder how it would work to work from the bottom up.
How many gal of glue did this take?
Used about 2-3 gallons
