great video. if you are curious about bicycle campers you should search for "Fahrradwohnwagen" (german translation for bicycle camper) or "Fahrradwohnwagen Treffen" ---bicycle camper meetup" you can find tons of videos of people building vlogging and doing meetups with bicycle campers.

[@anestispolitis]

It was an excellent video, well done!!!! 2 THINGS TO MENTION : 1. I believe you can add two more smaller wheels in the front, so that it wont hit the road or anything and probably add a lot of stability. 2. Prolly you'll gotta paint the exterior with wooden paint so that the creases don't show that much . KEEP UP THE NICE WORK HOSER 🤟

[@uribove]

The front is VERY low to the ground indeed... Here in europe we have very frequent speed bumps/ramps/ That bike would be DESTROYED by those

[@devashishtambade9593]

Put Caster wheels up front also have a good metal bracket which will connect to rod of seat rather than seat which will not take toll on your seat ...

[@renaenolen8461]

Yeah, I was concerned about how close the front end was to the ground.

[@eekee6034]

It's be destroyed off-road too. Just shortening the gooseneck should be fine.

[@tarriverrunningco6665]

No one is a fan of sponsor ads, but I give you credit for the most unique way of adding sponsor content I’ve seen. A double of yourself over the video content is a brilliant idea.

[@davidmrule]

For sure, just trying to make a living! But I want to make sure I’m putting extra effort into them to keep the energy going.

[@BritneyLeigh24720]

I appreciate that you picked a sponsor that might help some of your viewers. Props on your choice of sponsor.

@@davidmrule This is just the third video of yours that I have watched. You are not afraid of BEING yourself. You are funky (izzit OK to use a word from the 70's??), funny, love corny jokes, and toss a in a bit of self criticism. You are human, and not trying to be something you are not. Keep it up. You make the journey fun.

Just came back from a 5 hour flight and now I can finally chill with a David Rule video ❤

[@davidmrule]

Yay! I edited a good chunk of this on a 12 hour flight!

[@jrewillis]

Few obvious alterations to make this better. 1 - the hitch needs to raise the front up. 2 - parking legs/chocks that allow for levelling to keep it from moving when it is being used. 3 - sealant around the inside (especially the front edge - you can see daylight). But its a great design and brilliant video. I even like the ad section 😂

[@valcori666]

the whole time i couldn't stop looking at how low the front end was and was thinking "hope ya didn't hit any pot holes, DIPS or random speed bumps" lol But amazing work!!!

[@andyhuang3266]

As a Canadian, i can fully confirm that David is fluent in our language

[@fjolliff6308]

You did an amazing job! I'd recommend some lightweight trim to act as a bit of bumper all the way around the trailer to prevent anymore little accidents from doing damage to the shell. I also recommend a small swiveling wheel or two on the front of the camper to keep it from dragging when you hit a bump.

[@j.b.9581]

The small swivel wheel is a BRILLIANT idea. A swivel wheel would not only keep the front of the bike trailer off the ground, it would help during turns. @DavidRule, are you reading this??

[@Earthgal1964]

I just found your channel and I have to say, you are brilliant!! You're smart, witty, and loaded with charm & talent! Kudos to your parents for raising such an amazing young man! I enjoyed this video and can't wait to go back and watch your other videos!!! 💛💙💜💚

[@Earthgal1964]

The front sits a little low, but Great Build.

[@DoorsDylan]

The front side of the camper is dangerously low to the ground i suggest adding more wheels to the front

[@Kirious]

Painting the light color on the inside was a great idea, it will make it feel bigger despite being small. Then you just do a wood trim and accents to make it feel cozier!

[@Alex-The-Engineer.]

you should have put some training wheels or just small wheels on the front so it does not drag on the ground

[@dennymcevoy]

Wow I'm super impressed! Great channel. Fun to watch and very educational for non carpenters like myself who love woodworking. BTW, I'm Canadian and that was a great accent Bud!

I love the trailer. I miss Pinedale as I am from Cody and lived in Casper and Rock Springs (I know)… i camped north of Merna all the time… but I transferred with the job to Texas (I know again) so I just ride my bikes since I retired (I am 63)… building a trailer like yours is damn tempting. Awesome build and video… Yeehaw!

[@Hotdog09.420]

Anyone else find these videos fascinating, like what’s the next build? Awesome builds cheesy greasy jokes but it builds character no pun intended!!!

My channel is a place where the builds are good and the jokes are bad. That’s just how we like it 💪

Hey Grandpa ! :) The frog symbolizes a French girl ( like me) who just made it to Wyoming. Thanks for all the great content

[@CoquiUnlimitedOfficial]

Entertaining though the camper isn’t leveled when riding, it’s clearly uneven when riding. During the entire time I’m trying to figure-out how it didn’t break with just a pothole or even a stick, not to mention how you were able to sleep in it. Other than that minor error which can be fixed, not too bad.

[@Lquicx.mm2]

Always the greatest content I’ve ever seen! Keep up this good work 🥳

[@thepinky9876]

For future builds, I'd recommend building the camper and THEN placing the wheels so the wheels sat along a more balanced fulcrum point - it wouldn't sag so dangerously close to the ground at the front end.

[@peteroconnell5936]

About a decade ago I built myself a tiny one person caravan. The first few times I used it I woke up with a bad headache. I determined that there was not enough airflow and a buildup of CO2. A small 12V fan from an old computer power supply solved that problem. It also got rid of the condensation on the inside of the roof.
