Building A Military Grade Camper From Start To Finish

[@Sarah-rd1qy]

To say you are amazing is such an understatement. You are the Michael Jordan of DIY. God has blessed you. Thank you for the great video.

[@buildersblueprint]

@@Sarah-rd1qy wow thank you this is probably one of the best comments I’ve ever received more videos coming soon❤️

[@alex_crist]

As a first time viewer of your channel, I thoroughly enjoyed this video because of the quality of the shots, editing, and your engineering prowess. I didn't have any expectations going into it, but as it went on I took notice of all of these things and realized I stumbled on a gem of a channel. Earned a sub today.

[@SatisfyingVidsonyt]

finally the camper vids are back I remeber way back you used to make them for the homeless I saw one on my fyp and watch you every since

[@buildersblueprint]

Thank you I really appreciate it. Let me know how you like it.

[@SatisfyingVidsonyt]

@@buildersblueprint like it? nah man I love it good job man

[@buildersblueprint]

@ wow thanks man❤️❤️

[@denniscarreno5882]

Nice build guys! No chatting straight to the point…well done!

[@buildersblueprint]

🙌🙌 appreciate that!

[@ChasingOurSolitude]

Great job guys, my wife and I built ours during the pandemic and we love it. Well done and looks awesome!!!

[@andyanderson6958]

Sir you did 1 heck of a job, and you should be proud of what you have accomplished, just add an awning, and it will be perfect......

[@MM-jn2ny]

Hands down the nicest DIY camper ive seen so far. Well put together

[@rickybobby786]

Awesome! Wish I had the time, skills, and money to do this. If I did, I’d follow this video. Thanks for sharing!

[@numberoneappgames]

You all did a good job. Great craftsmanship throughout!!

[@buildersblueprint]

@@numberoneappgames thanks ❤️

[@kitblue3194]

Just popped in to have a hearty chuckle at the "military-grade" title.

[@terryclay6668]

That is one of absolute best and beautiful home professional builds I have seen. That was a well planned out and executed build. Great video also. Thanks for posting it.

[@verifedup3062]

The only thing I would add is Redguard ~10x coat on plywood before Raptor spray. Excellent build!!!

[@danielandrewgrant]

I like it when you narrate. 😁

[@buildersblueprint]

Many more videos coming soon❤️

[@brucejones1867]

Great build and great video documenting your progress. Very cool camper. Thanks for sharing.

[@davidvossel8042]

Dude! Really nice! I’m doing a build on an ironton 5x8 as well. Interesting technique with how you mounted the walls on the frame’s side rails like that. I might end up doing mine similar now. Learned something! You probably already thought this through way more than me but one thing to point out just in case. When I was doing research on pairing larger wheels on the axle, people were pointing out that spacers are dangerous for some reason. Something about it causing more pressure on the bolts. I don’t really get it, but I chickened out and bought a new axle that was wider off etrailer. Love the videos man, you’re killing it!

[@buildersblueprint]

Really how far have you gotten on the build? The spacers didn’t seem to ruin much, but I will say that it is probably safer to just replace the axle or at least the wheel spindle.

[@davidvossel8042]

​@@buildersblueprint I'm probably half way through. Kinda stalled out right now because it's so cold and the adhesive i want to use for some of the wall panels needs to be above 45 degrees for 24 hours to cure. I wish I had thought the timing through more on that. I ended up welding 2ft on the end of the frame and moving the axle back a bit to make it a 5x10. Trying to make it sleep 3 people. my wife really wanted that classic curved teardrop profile which is a challenge to get right. anyway, watched the video again. Love how you capture all the important details in such a condensed amount of time. Great presentation. Your doors are so legit as well. I gotta up my game 😄

[@buildersblueprint]

@ yeah the weather definitely sucks right now I’m building a tiny home and I’ve been on standby because of the weather. Feel free to check out part one and part two. I recommend you to buy the doors. They are quite challenging to build. But good luck on your build man. Keep me updated on how it goes. ✌️

[@americanadventureoutdoors4213]

Awesome work man . That turned out bad ass !!

[@bodie9201]

Being in the military knowing that "military grade" just means the cheapest bidder.

[@JAC13]

came her to say that😂

[@crs9796]

the cheapest bidder who can deliver to the required standard. It does not mean it IS cheap.

[@northMOFN]

@@crs9796 And what is the military's required standard for "trailer, camping, homebuilt?"

[@benjamingamache6441]

...and doesn't make it grunt proof.

[@JedielHernandez-ju5bv]

We need more of these

[@pervysage3604]

Pretty epic build man, the attention to detail is intense, and I see what you doing and trying to imagine how I'd handle all the little details. And the answer is.... I wouldn't I'd just leave the screw holes, wouldn't bother with the near looking ceiling, or the trim. :D I was wondering how you were going to keep water from the wheels ruining the underside of the camper, and I like how you handled it with the resin and fiberglass coating. Just 1 small suggestion, you should think about an extension for the top. IIRC you have a smaller son, and you could build a pop out area, to give him his own sleeping area, up above, and during transport it would collapse down into the main area, then when your ready to camp you pop it up, and lock it in place with with steel flat bar or something. (like you have areas for the flat bar to slide through and lock into, and the pop up room rests on those flat bars. IF that makes sense.).

[@jonpark3855]

use butyl tape to seal door & window frames- butyl tape does not rely on adhesive action to create seal like silicone caulk

[@johnstup4479]

Cool little camper! You got some skills.

[@buildersblueprint]

@@johnstup4479 thanks John 🙌

[@auliamuhammadrachmadie8889]

Beautifully done

[@buildersblueprint]

Appreciate it ❤️

[@808NoH8]

This is cool. Wish we could use a camper to camp anywhere, but there are only a few places in the mountain you can do that. All the beaches are tent camping.

[@RevBTB]

what makes this (or anything, honestly) military grade?

[@Nowuries01]

Was wondering the same thing. Evidently safari brown and black accents

[@GoHappyThoughts]

So beautiful im literally crying right now ❤️😍

[@MrSafetyForever]

What a phenomenal compact solution! Take Care

[@tamergoes]

Love this thing. Next project is installing some trailer brakes on it!

[@buildersblueprint]

Thanks. Check out the tiny home I’m currently working on

[@JakeSweeper]

Funny thing some folks forget about "Military Grade" is that, whatever it is, it's built by the lowest bidder.

[@AutieTortie]

So what? Meeting the spec at the lowest cost is ideal. That is what you want. Why would you want to pay more for something that also meets the spec if there is a cheaper option?

[@Koritan]

Nice build and great set up. Do you know how much it weighs?

[@jrzmazda3]

Awesome build! Did you ever reopen the holes in the electrical compartment to cool the batteries?? It looks like they got covered during the fiberglassing.

[@gardencity3558]

Defiitely better build than my RV LOL!

[@robertkosovich1232]

NICE build !!!

[@buildersblueprint]

Thanks 🙌

[@doober3757]

Should’ve made a chase for the tail light wiring and future wiring accessories.

[@mussydesign7933]

Beautiful, well done!

[@Timbodacious]

wow it came out really nice! too small for all that wood though, make a foamie version and after you skin it with fiberglass take it to get a thick coat of rhino liner on it you will save 50% or more weight on the trailer. this would take me 2 years and it took you two months haha

[@terryhodges5850]

Would be awesome for fall camping. And maybe the winter if you have a little heater for there but I see no air conditioning so summer would be a little rough

[@yassine_nice7216]

Great job i like it ❤

[@buildersblueprint]

Thanks ❤️

[@MrJames_1]

Looks solid. Would have enjoyed seeing someone inside it when done to gauge livability/size. Great job nonetheless 👍🤩

[@buildersblueprint]

Thanks maybe next time we’ll add a person inside of it so you can see the perspective of the size.

How much cost you to make,and how much od new From the factory? Thanks

[@rumantokoh789]

how long takes time u made it sirr

[@TravisBell-q1w]

What make it military grade is it the quality of the durability or the cost effectiveness

[@AutieTortie]

Neither of which determines "military grade"

[@julian4914]

Absolutely amazing sir.. Omgoodness

Wow, thanks! ❤️

[@skyhawk21]

I need one for me a disabled vet!

[@marknaylor1810]

That's a lovely caravan but where's the cooker

[@martywilsonlife]

200 watt solar? Is that enough for that behemoth power system?

[@AutieTortie]

Not even close. That panel would deliver ~10A on an ideal day. The battery pack is 400Ah. So charging at 0,025C which is probably lower than the required current for a trickle charge. But that battery pack and inverter combo is mega, mega overkill for a tiny trailer like that. I would have added 100Ah of battery with maybe a 1000W inverter. No need for anything bigger than that in a trailer so small. Besides a 200W panel would charge a 100Ah battery at about 0,1C which should provide a tiny bit of trickle charge.

[@crs9796]

8.48 OMG... a great little build will burn to the ground because you don't want to use a slightly longer wire connection to avoid a future direct short with lithium batteries. Please separate those cables.

[@Surfmus]

Nice! But overkilled on the batteries, solar system, etc. for a micro camper.

[@michael-kb5ld]

It would be nice if you broke down the cost to a comparable mass market camper

[@getlosttoday4045]

What was the final weight?

[@buildersblueprint]

1510 pounds

[@syn4057]

Very beautiful and well built camper. I don’t think I’d call this military grade. Most things made for the military, are made by the lowest bidder. When we here mil-spec or military grade, we think cheaply made; not always the worst made, but cheaply made.

[@lillen06]

You don't need to get it registerd and have a license plate?

Yes we do

[@scott32570]

Painting something tan does not make it military-grade. Nothing about this build is military-grade in the slightest.

[@rand8530]

Military grade is a ridiculous term. I'm an army veteran. The military buys from the lowest bidder, and we get poor quality.

Congratulations, you fell for the engagement bait

whose military? What type of grade. There is good enough at lowest cost and there is Build it so it can keep fighting after getting hammered. But, still fantastic build and better than I can do.

This is not possible built in Poland because certification of this construction is very expensive end cost lot of $$$.
