What do you think the roof load would be? Could it hold a rooftop tent and a couple kids, say like 800lbs?
@ChilledBeans 10 күн бұрын
I can give you my gut feel, but I don't have official engineering test results for this... My gut feel is that it would have absolutelly no problem carrying rooftop tent. I'm 200 lbs, and I walk in the middle of the roof and it doesn't move a bit. My roof is 18mm ply, sitting on top of inner ply walls, sitting on top of 30mm struts all glued up. Remember, the rooftop tent would be sitting on roof racks, which only apply weight on the side walls. That being said, I would suggest you weld some extra plates under the frame sides that would sit under your side walls - effectivelly making side walls sit on top of those plates. This is one thing i would do on mine if i wanted to be 100% sure about large amount of weight. Also you have to make sure your total weight with all the load (the roof top tent etc), doesn't exceed total trailer's registered legal capacity. You'll need to make sure your suspenssion is specked for that weight etc. Good luck

What size sheets of plywood did you use for those wall and did you use 1 or 2 pieces each wall
@ChilledBeans 21 күн бұрын
Have a look at my other longer video of how I built this trailer... i may have snippets showing how i joined it. But i used standard 2.4 x 1.2 m plywood sheets. I had to extend both in height and in length. This was pretty straight forward, i added extra layer of thiner ply under the joins ... as a cross member struts. All glued up. I only had to extend length by a bit, like 0.6m roughly, and height even less than that.

This is awesome to see an australian video of a camper build - Did you consider using an existing trailer as a base?
@ChilledBeans Ай бұрын
Thank you. I did, and I probably would in the future but it was tricky to find the specific base to suit my needs. Also I didn't want to deal with hidden issues or rust. I wanted to make sure i have solid base to suit my exact requirements. Also, building the frame (if you can weld) was fun and it wasn't as hard.
@tazanelli Ай бұрын
@@ChilledBeans yeah sorry, watched the video again shortly after my comment and got my answer. I cannot weld, but I have seen some places selling custom trailer bases around the $1500 mark so might go down that route.
@ChilledBeans Ай бұрын
@@tazanelli yes, if you don't weld, then it's a no brainer... buying an existing base would be the simplest and most effective option. WHen you chose a base frame, consider where you would place the water tank... base frame clearance from the ground... size of A frame if you want to put tool box etc.

good warning. Were your rails at all loose in the seat clamp?
@ChilledBeans 2 ай бұрын
That's a great question. They were very firm, definitelly not loose. The rails remained locked in, which is why i got cut up by the sharp plastic only. Otherwise if they were loose there would be more rough metal exposed, or i could have got impaled by the post. I was really lucky that it didn't get my arteries either, so I could get back to the car and hospital without bleeding to death. Stay safe.

I can't believe that comes in under 750kg. All that heavy gauge steel, layers of thick plywood, 60kg of water, ... They are often built with much lighter steel frame and composite foam/polycarbonate panels to get in under that weight and have enough left over for all your camping kit.

You are right. I'm pretty sure i mentioned somewhere, at least in another video, and many comment responses that the tare weight is 920 kg.

Thinking about using aluminum for mine. With the option of bolting it all together. Do you think that would work or do you know anyone who’s used aluminum for these ??
@ChilledBeans 4 ай бұрын
I have not come across anything like that. I've seen people build camper trailers using aluinium, but welding it. But not bike rack. Bike racks need to carry load (quite precious cargo), so my gut feel is that bolting alluminium doesn't sound quite as reliable to me. I haven't even seen any commercial alluminium bike racks... all the heavy duty ones I see around are steel. I would suggest to approach some sort of fabrication engineer for advice on this. Good luck

Yes because there is the door on the other side. I never really felt like I need an extra window. But it is slightly heavy... 920kg, very strong but a bit heavier than if i used composite panels.

@astrawally8448 5 ай бұрын
The movement of the wheel is a common issue with leaf springs. Another is left-right loading imbalance, which causes excessive left-right tilt in the trailer, causing the inner tops of the wheels on the heavy side to tilt in towards the the trailer frame. The rear door on these less tall campers can be improved by creating an L shaped (viewed from the side) rear door and hinging from the top side of the camper (just under your rear roof rack). It is more complicated but gives you a lot more head room. Keep up the good work.
@astrawally8448 5 ай бұрын
Mate, brilliant build and turned out awesome. A few questions and thoughts: 1. Why did you choose a wooden frame for the cabin vs say using RHS or square steel tube? I am debating this point right now and interested in your views and experience. 2. Double ply walls - understand you needed the structural integrity, but did you consider a laminated or hollow core approach using thinner ply on the outer (8-12mm), then borders/bracing for the insulation layer, then another thinner play or faced laminate on the inner layer? Not saying you did it wrong, but I saw a lot of wastage and effort in cutting out your inner ply. 3. Did you consider the aluminium composite sheeting rather than plywood for the walls? 4. I love the shelfing layout - I will likely steal your ideas :) 5. How did you get front - rear balance? This has to be one of the best camper build videos out there, really good you focussed on how you built it and not showing off what you built.
