Homeless man here. I have the luxury of living in my truck. One thing I have learned real quick is that truck liner can be painted on. This has added a bit of color, heat resistance, and protection to my truck bed, and to the roof of my truck. Perhaps something similar would be prudent for future designs.

[@khione8044]

I really liked this one! It was cool! 🥰 But one issue. The waterproof plastic was attached to the inside, which wasn't painted, and no silicone was used to prevent a waterproof barrier between this layer. Which means that any rain hitting the waterproof plastic, is gonna drip down the edge, and into the interior where the wood will eventually start to rot. It's not a bad design, but needs a few minor improvements.

[@buildersblueprint]

I appreciate the comment. It did rain and the inside did not get wet at all. Unfortunately, we were not able to record it because we were at West Marine. But thanks for watching and God bless.

[@cherylbarrett3443]

It seems like the tent fabric needs to lap over the sides of the camper. I have a motorcycle camper, and it does have such an overlap to keep the rain out.

[@khione8044]

@@cherylbarrett3443 Yes, I agree! 👍

[@lynne8755]

I think a tarp would fix that issue. He could even use it for extra shade.

[@brucemcfarling6594]

@@lynne8755 Yes, a tarp is the first thing I thought of when I looked at this. It would also allow cooking with an alcohol or other camping cookstove out of the rain on an rainy day without risking carbon monoxide inside the camper.

I love all your videos, but I like these ones the most. Dear hearts, you are amazing! The tiny homes are such a wonderful idea and a blessing to the homeless, one at a time, my sweets, one at a time! I don't know if you already have tried this, but probably if you go to home depot or lowes, and tell them of what you are doing for the homeless, hopefully they can donate some of the materials to build more tiny homes. May God continue blessing you, so you can continue blessing others as well.

The problem with the tent material being placed on the inside can easily be solved by placing a secondary waterproof tarp on the system. Also include rope and metal poles and some tent stakes, maybe a hammer and he waterproof will be all set. God bless you for what you are doing to help other!!!

[@efxnoise]

Ive built my share of things while living outside. A problem these nice campers will have to deal with is theft. Making it not stick out or draw attention is important. People see something nice and they are drawn to it for the wrong reasons. Are they lockable? Any lock can be compromised but locks will prevent opportunity theft and also will slow entry of someone trying to get in. Adding an alarm with a fob($16) on amazon or a window/door alarm. Nobody moves when someone elses alarm goes off but for your own stuff, an alarm tells you someone is messing with your stuff, handle it. Happy i found this channel.

As the guy said it it's true you're awesome 💯❤️😇🙏💪🙌✌️😎 👍

[@CoquiUnlimitedOfficial]

I’m super happy to FINALLY see someone implement the same idea I’ve had to a growing homeless problem where the government takes away from the very same people people like yourself have provided for them. With this alternative they can move it with them and even leave it at work stationed and no government or sanitation problem. Excellent! 👍🏻 Hope to see other’s implement this alternative as well in helping out the homeless or themselves.

[@Itried20takennames]

I wish, but where exactly do you put it? I don’t think many employers or their neighboring businesses would want a person essentially camping in their parking lot. And even is so….you would need to have an employer, which many do, but not all. Not being negative and a nice thing, but the tricky part of any housing alternatives for the homeless is the “where,.” If you have a place… almost anything will work (tent, yurt, van, old RV, tiny home, etc) but in reality, although most people say they want to help the homeless, most also want the encampments or shelters to be someplace OTHER than their own neighborhood.

[@user-jp5nc8zf7m]

@@Itried20takennames There is individual action, then there is collective action. You can't do one without the other. This is great, I'm going to try it myself. But the end is always to get homes. We have a local organization, I'm going to try building one of these, then try to get the homeless organization. This is the easiest best design I've seen, and I've seen businesses step up for homelessness. The real problem is governments. Micro homes are the best solution to that, this is a first step til a micro home. Which frankly is all anybody needs.

[@jawarholol4651]

I like the way that you think and GJ endeavoring to help

[@brendatroy2843]

BEER RUN BUS. This is the way homeless people should be blessed. At least they have some shelter and a way to Transport any where they need to go. Maybe next time you and your friends help build another bike camper, Be sure to also give them a bicycle repair kit too

[@notanomad9320]

Nicely done and if I was homeless this would be the perfect set up BUT most homeless people I've seen collect way too much junk. Would be interesting to follow up with him in a couple months. I would mounted the solar panel on the roof and then have it where you can angle it towards the sun. You could start a business offering something like this for cycle tourist.

It’s an amazing idea and a wonderful way of helping people, just worth to to do a small change in the future builds: the waterproof material on the sides should be bolted outside of the box on the bottom cause whatever it will be the rain water or the morning condensation, it will flow inside the camper when it’s positioned like this. Great job!

[@hokehinson5987]

Outstanding! Now consider using armored 1" foam board for top and partially on sides. Using cotton duck cloth adhere foam board sandwiched between a coat of latext gripper paint. It's becomes very strong. Coating both sides even stronger... Cut the side planks in half. Put armored foam along the top edges. Great idea you have there...saving even alittle weight goes along wait on cycle campers...since you have 2"X2" slats you can getby using 1/4" plywood for bottom can weather proof using cloth Nd gripper paint. Once all glued & fastened together very strong....cheers

[@cherriemater]

Oh I wish you could have installed the fabric to the outside of the camper rather than inside along that rail. The water may sit in a pocket between the canvas, and wall and when he folds it down soak the inside. Perhaps you accounted for that by having that slight overhang of the corrugated roof? Anyway ... grateful for what you do and how you are blessing to those around you.

This is the best homeless camper I've found since finding various designs on KZbin about an hour ago. I love the pop-up feature that lowers center of gravity & prevents WIND from tipping it over when traveling. I'd probably prefer to use it just as a base to set a TENT up on. Then, remove the floor of the tent to be able to access food & supplies stored in the base while I'm in the tent!

[@artman133]

I agree, I love the design which has both a low center of gravity and low lateral windage. I think that one could lower the weight with some creativity but the basic design is so far my favorite. The materials and technique fit the need perfectly for these traveling angels.

You should try camping in the rain in one of these first. The attachment of the tent fabric INSIDE the side is likely to have rain running down the fabric and INTO the cabin. You'll either need a redesign or spray the hell out of the fabric with silicon water proofing. Also, was the insect netting ATTACHED to the side fabric? Looked like it was blowing loosely. I also suggest painting EVERY surface of the wood BEFORE attaching them together, as water will wick in between where you couldn't get paint to. Love your sentiments, though!
