Building a DIY wooden truck camper In 10 minutes - Full time Lapse

[@aarondonaldson4164]

Looks a big like a coffin for Hagrid from the top, but hands down one of the most beautiful campers I've seen online. Gorgeous.

[@romeong5218]

I thought I'm the only one seeing it.

[@johnsilvers5883]

That's what I thought. Hilarious 😂

[@esschuele6336]

I immediately thought it was a massive casket (not a toe pincher coffin) driving down the road overhead. Amazing build.

[@sulblazer]

I thought that just from the thumbnail. Well at least he'll not need to buy one when the time comes.

This isn't a camper. It's a work of art!

Wow, dude how does this not have more views? this is the best camper build on YT! Put out more vids!

Lol no it's not,this thing is not aerodynamic at all!

There's no bed, no storage, no bathroom.

[@TheAngryCamper]

don't ever let me hear you say that you are not a carpenter or a tradesman ever again, got it? You kicked this things ass in a big way, hats off!!!!!

[@ianazariah]

eye eye captin' but the term I like to use these days is craftsman. sure I might now have a specialty but ill figure it out and make it awesome! thanks so much for the kind words! I checked your page, where is the angry camper i wanna see a video!

Just found this. Just WOW! I am 62 years old, Widower. Wife of 41 years passed away 2 years ago. Just bought a 1994 GMC 3/4 ton, long wheel base Truck. One owner, 74,000 original miles & it will be 30 years old next year! I am planning to hit the road & travel (hunt/fish) the USA. You have definitely inspired that Dream. Thanks for sharing this video. Wish me luck!

[@ianazariah]

This is one of the most heartwarming comments I have gotten! Sounds like you have set yourself up right do some some exploring and to get out in the world. I’m sorry for your loss but I hope that in creating a mobile rig to truck around the ole USA You will find everything you are looking for the the places you least expect. I wish you all the luck but something tells me that your the kind of person who creates there own luck and you just need to let it all happen! Happy trails wherever the road takes you

beautiful camper build and congrats on being in the book

[@ianazariah]

thanks so much that was a huge honor

[@Ty-nc9ew]

I've been doing research on building one for the back of my ranger, super glad I found your vid!!

[@ianazariah]

this comment right here is why i made the video. I wish there was something like this when i was starting so I decided to make it happen for others!

[@Ty-nc9ew]

Heck yeah man haha that's great! Very unique design compared to the rest I've seen, what was your inspiration?

[@ianazariah]

@@Ty-nc9ew initially it was the first edition of lloyds book as well as really loving the work of Jay Nelson who makes incredible campers. essentially seeing others do these amazing things and thinking. why not me? I could do that with enough focus and effort. and so I did.

[@Ty-nc9ew]

That's totally freaking awesome! Hell yeah bro 🤣 I hope I can make one soon! I'll come back and comment and leave a link if I do! ☺️

[@TruckHouseLife]

Nice due! Well executed!

[@ianazariah]

Ehhhh! So awesome for you to stop by and watch. I actually watched a few of your videos before I started my build so it’s rad to see the community here. Also aren’t you in the rolling homes book as well? Big fan of your rig as well I will build on a diesel rig next

[@ianazariah]

Also just *finally* subscribed to your channel, as now I suppose I’m seeing that matters 😂

[@TruckHouseLife]

@@ianazariah yeah man, I think I made it into that book, haven't seen it in person yet lol. Maybe cya on the road and good luck with the diesel find!

[@kennethrogers1129]

Wow, very nice. Great tip for exterior siding

[@jrambo7495]

Oh,so stressful? You have access to a freaking shop,tools, and lots of help! If that's the case, then everyone could build one!!

[@ianazariah]

Love the insight. so valid. not like I spent months learning new skills and doing thing off camera over 3 times to get them right. but alas it all cause I had access to a space and tools anyone can purchase.

[@isaacturnerit]

This thing is so coool!!! How much did it weigh?

[@TheEriccurtis]

By far the coolest DIY camper build , the round windows everywhere is such a great look.

[@Chris-ut6eq]

Very unique build, happy the algorithm led me here. Wish you many happy adventures with your new camper.

[@ianazariah]

Ehh the algo can do wonders sometimes gald you found it!

[@WilliamsSkilliams]

Hell yeah!! Awesome, creative, well crafted build. Loved the montage of Travle pictures at the end.

[@ianazariah]

ehhh thanks so much, thought it would be good to show it doing its thing in the wild. aint no pavement princess!

[@MelissaKing-vm8sm]

This is a very nice build. A tip just so the viewer can hear YOU better, no music. But what great ideas!!

[@ianazariah]

thanks so much! thought id add something cause I sure dont like listeneing to myself.

[@kathyroark9561]

Beautiful job. I am building a gypsy camper. Scared to death! Saw a couple great ideas here. Ty!

[@ianazariah]

so in my experience I find if something terrifies you then your on the right path. when we are least comfortable we learn the most.

[@dreamlookautodetailingauto3353]

AMAZING BUILD!

[@ianazariah]

Thanks so much roger, Really stoked on how much people have enjoyed watching us make this.

[@timerickson7056]

The only thing I would suggest Is that a front window driving on the freeway in the rain you are approaching hurricane force weather beating on far longer than any big money storm window system in Florida will ever take .

[@ianazariah]

Hey not sure if you heard near the end there that the camper has been on the road for 2 years now, and that i used high tensile silicone to put them in place. So I think that its good to go as I done 120 in rain storms a number of time. but you are correct that if someone is not thinking things thru they could be in trouble... we on the other hand are fine.

[@goodgoat3096]

Hard coated Plexiglass / acrylic or even better Polycarbonate / Lexan would have been a better choice for the windows, more expensive but with much higher scratch resistance. Also, the epoxy degrades from UV radiation and needs spar varnish for protection. This is the most beautiful truck camper that I have seen, much like the gorgeous cedar strip canoes and kayaks. A work of art! Thanks for the video.
