I’m a 64 year old arthritic, mobility impaired, woman. I am not now nor have I ever been builder or repairer of anything bigger than a trinket box. I loved this video. No fancy technical jargon, no fast forward through what you were doing. And you explained everything you did and why. This was an excellent teaching video.

This is truly one of the best DIY videos that I've ever seen on KZbin. You don't have an extravagant workshop loaded with $500k worth of expensive tools. You don't have 15 people helping you with the build. The process is shown in real time from a good angle, where viewers can get a good look at what you're doing. Absolutely perfect and the camper came out great!

To LIVINMONTES. Both you and your son are a GREAT TEAM. Life is just random - even if people have any disabilities, they still have things to ACHIEVE. So you need to find how to do them! I'm writing music for a video, but am Dyspractic - so I can't get the hang of any instruments, except KEYBOARDS. However, if you notice, many musicians DO play everything through a keyboard these days as a matter of course. No massive amount of instruments to drag around from place, and no big orchestra to have to find space forbon a stage either. So no- one will know my "secret" problems anyway! SORTED! And with your practical mind, you are also just the ideal Dad your capable son needs, too!

@@blackspruce1861 I have some bags I got at a hardware store that are like family size tea bags but with peppermint, spearmint and what all in them. I used to leave them in my last car, on a pie plate on the floor, to keep the chipmunks from infesting and eating my air system and filter. They work well, are not toxic and do not smell like mothballs. If you hate the mint it dissipates pretty fast as long as it isn't mint oiling the flooring. I thought my nice minty car was a great return on not replacing filters and having acorns vacuumed out or blown at me when the fan was turned on. Much better than checking and changing the snap traps, decon or whatever. My cousin swears by peppermint oil spray.

Personally id see if could get away with no wood and just use aluminum frame with sytrofoam board for ultimate light weight. Ive seen homless shelters made out of them they put out for the homeless in the winter here in the city , they seem to insulte really well, and add some plastic sidng for more weather proofing and youre good, Id be planning to haul it using an eletric bike so id be even more weight consiouse is the reason and this could be a real light weigh solution.

I worked for a mobile home company back in the late 60s. (Fleetwood) Some of the large trailers uses 2x2 lumber for the side walls and 2x4 lumber in the front wall. The roof was 2x6 tapered to the edges to allow a bit of roof pitch. The trick to keeping the walls in place was a cap strip all the way around the trailer and some of the larger units used steel strapping to reinforce around windows. I think you did a great job, especially using glue and screws. The big trailers were all just nailed together by hand.

I would double check the load capacity on the springs/suspension. Just to make sure you're not putting way more on them than they were designed for. It may not seem like much weight, but it adds up quickly. Especially when you start loading gear, etc in it. * Since it was an older trailer to start with, those springs, bushings, etc may not have been in all that great of shape and they might possibly be Chinese springs. We see a lot of boat trailer springs break because they came from overseas and it's usually a horrific crash in the road. Which obviously you would never want to risk. Fortunately new springs and hardware aren't terribly expensive. But definitely a cool project you've done there.

I love the build - simple yet eloquent. You don't see those things intersect too often. You never mentioned costs to anything, I can imagine already that this wasn't too crazy but I would be curious to know about the cost and location of the supplier for the doors and windows. I might not be able to do a 'tiny house' or 'cabin build' BUT...grabbing a run down pop-up and giving it a face lift would definitely fit the budget and my constraints of not having much land to store it and/or to build on. Thanks for inspiring the creative side of my brain!

That came out really sharp. At first I thought it was too small. But you fit a lot inside and kept a clear flow to get to all areas. I really like the floating camper stove setup. There is room on the front and back so if you decide to add a bike rack, or strap down extra gear. It can be done easily. Can't wait for it to rain. You could always take a water hose to it just to test out the windows.

I am a truck driver who pulls flatbed. Ive delivered lots of lumber, siding, and such to various travel trailer builders. Yours appears to be a lot nicer than many of them. I've seen that they dont predrill nail/screw holes. If the 2x2 splits, I guess they figure its inside the wall.

Glued, screwed, marine grade plywood, Stainless Steel screws, lots of putty, WOW! You built it like I build things. Great job. . The only thing that made me shudder is the use of at least one plastic wire connector. I have never had a soldered and shrink wrapped connection fail, but I have replaced a lot of plastic wire connectors someone else put in. . You did a great job on the video and the sound quality was fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

​@@blackspruce1861i'm going to do a small camper, and I agree, no roof leaks ever! That's my plan. I'm going to go get flat sheets of painted roofing metal from a manufacturer for the whole roof. Then instead of plywood, i'm going to fiber reinforce some polyfoam sprayed onto the underside of the metal for a solid supertight roofcap. I'll shave off excess, and have a roof I can stand on and last 40 years.

I hear ya. I forgot about the rubber roofing. Definitely an issue for holes for solar ! I’m sure you’ll come up with a solution. It’s relatively narrow. Maybe a bracket down on the sides suspending the panel/panels. But then there’s snow load. Who knows ?!?! 😂. Take care bud
