Thanks for checking out the video and for the suggestion! I have had good and bad luck with glass, acrylic and polycarbonate. In my first build, a friend broke the glass so I said no more glass. On the camper in the video, I broke the acrylic so I tried polycarbonate on my latest build. Then a tarp rubbed against that and scratched the poly all up. I haven't used plexiglass, but if it's scratch proof then I'd try it. In my head, I'm going to try glass again as it's much easier to clean without scratching. Sorry for the long response. This has been on my mind a lot recently as the last thing I have to do to the newest build is clean the poly windows and they are scratching easily... I've been working on it all morning.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for having a look at the camper, Sherry!

Thanks for checking out the build. I have always enjoyed learning. It's great to hear from like minds.

Those are all great suggestions. Thanks for checking out the video!

Makes me feel great to be able to help folks. Thanks for watching and I wish you the best on building that!

Thanks for having a look!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching. It's great to hear from India. Wow!

Thank you, friend! I greatly appreciate the time you spent with the video.

On my most recent build, I used Totalboat epoxy and varnish. I may coat the camper in the video with it as well. Seems to be good stuff. Thanks for watching!

I mostly agree with you. In testing it actually worked better than expected as seen in our follow-up video where it brought the inside temperature from 98F to 76F in an hour. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJ64fa1mm7ytmaM Still, I thought it could be more efficient so I modified it to slide in and out. That modification can be seen in the follow-up video as well. Thanks for watching!

I have built another one and it has a traditinal four-gallon water heater. I decided to use something more conventional since it will be for sale and not for us. Thanks for watching!

To be honest, it just doesn't have that much usage yet. We've been camping a couple times and there's no sign of any moisture damage. Since it's a wooden camper, we keep it under a carport when not in use. It's pretty much always dry. We'll need more miles and more camping to really test it out. Thanks for checking out the build!

Thanks for watching!

I agree there are some improvements that could be made. We primarily just use it for sleeping and showers and enjoy cooking over the campfire. But more storage would be great. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for checking out the videos. It's greatly appreciated, my friend!

Thanks for watching! We have since upgraded to radials and they are rated for over twice the weight of the camper.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching. I believe I'll try glass on the next one. Although I haven't had any issues with the acrylic yet.

Thanks for having a look!

Merry Christmas to you! Thanks for checking out the video!

That's great to hear. I really love how light they are and how long they last as well. Thanks for watching!

Thank you, my friend!

Thanks for checking out our little adventures!

Thanks for watching! The water pump can be seen at 55:06. It's mounted under the A/C in the lower cabinet. All the best on your build!

I think cargo trailer builds are great too. Very practical. I just have a bit more fun building from scratch. One of these days I may do a cargo trailer build. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the tip and for watching! I didn't know that.

Thanks for watching. It's great to hear from Germany!

My best guess for the material above the trailer, as you saw it in the video, is roughly $5k. I don't have an exact number for the build. But $5k is probably close. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for having a look!

Will do!

Thanks for checking out the rocket!

Thank you for your time in viewing multiple videos and commenting. Also thanks for subscribing. That keeps me building and I greatly appreciate that, my friend. I hope to get that Bigfoot done one of these days.

You'd be surprised how many parks might be near you, some areas are free but a picnic table might be all ya get. They all have season passes if you go more than 3 times a year and they're associated with parks all over. Single grandma with a toddler, reserve a cheap motel near park and just hang out in the daytime. In the '80s we'd camp in hatchback Subaru, back seats folded down to make a long bed for 3. In the'90s back of a pick up with a tarp, at dawn I woke to tornado clouds, we were out of the park in 10 minutes, honking to wake everyone up. My husband got a headache bar $20 at a garage sale & more tarps, it was perfect. He bought a used topper for $50 it was nice with windows, we used once, it became the dogs' house stored in the backyard, teens didn't fit. Cold weather we camped in Chevy Caravan put captain seats outside & covered in tarp to keep clean or left at home. One extreme coldsnap we covered the van in tarps and stayed warm all night. Muggy heat Summers we rented $20 screened in porch w/lights, electricity to plug in fan, mini microwave for popcorn or toaster oven, & picnic table inside for playing cards all night, nearby bathroom & shower at Eisenhower park $20 perfect for teens & their friends to keep an eye on them all in 1 place, tuna, beans, PB&J, Ramon, watermelon/fruit- Stopped wasting time, $ on supplies & gear after my husband died.

I enjoyed reading both of your comments as they very much reflect on the simplicity of camping in my youth as well. Thank you for sharing the tips and encouragement as so many will learn that camping with less stuff makes better stories. I have purposely designed my campers to be simple in their equipment to get the spirit of camping out of them. Your stories reminded me of one night we were tent camping along the Shenandoah river. I was a small child and it had rained a lot. It was a warm summer night. We were in a giant army green canvas tent. I literally awoke in a puddle of warm rainwater from our leaky tent. Had to scoot over a couple feet to find dry land. Thanks for sharing and for watching! It's greatly appreciated.

Thanks for watching!

I didn't list the cost in the video. I don't have an exact number, per say. I imagine a build like this with an appropriate 6x10 trailer would begin roughly at $7500 in material and go from there depending on what equipment you install. I had an extremely limited budget so I used a cheap trailer, window A/C and saved where I could. Thanks for watching and the question!

Thanks for having a look!

Thanks for checking out our camping trip!

That's a great idea! Thanks for checking out our videos!
