Building My Favorite Camper Yet!

Experience the complete build of my latest, and largest, DIY camper. It's 6X10, sleeps four, has a shower and toilet and a new, experimental way of powering it with Ryobi 40 volt batteries (as well as shore power). Like my other builds, I didn't hold back when using alternative building techniques just to see if I can pull them off. It travels on a Harbor Freight 1720 lb trailer and can be easily unmounted if needed. It's also my first build that's tall enough to stand up in!
MATERIALS LIST BELOW
If you found this video after the release date, we have installed a 3500lb-rated axle and a set of Rainer radials. This helps the build be the safest possible on the road, although we didn't have any issues with the equipment used in the video. We simply upgraded when we could.

I'm a certified RV tech I work mainly with airstream. But your attention to construction and detail is very good, the construction methods are better than most manufacturers sir .I've seen a lot of different types in my yrs of work. Keep up the good work...

That said most RV's are held together by staples and hope and sealed with thoughts and prayers.

Thanks for the audio feedback. If I'm being honest, the beginning of your first sentence made me nervous. I thought you were going to lay into my carpentry. Thanks for going easy on me. There's nothing more intimidating to me than someone who's been building for decades longer than me. I'm trying my best but still very new to camper building. Thanks for checking out the build!

[@debcunninghamphotography7710]

​@@mikekrabalvery nicely done!

[@AdamUnpronounceable]

Couldn't agree more with the sentiment of music. There are moments when music can be good, but KZbin creators often use it too much. The audience doesn't need a constant onslaught of noise. A little exposition on what you're doing, shots that show it and that is all you really need.

[@kingduckford]

I would think a carpenter would object to the use of lap board for bottom wall structure. Those lag bolts aren't very useful, because the wood is the weak point, not eh fastener. Under enough stress, load, or long term shock and wear, the structural failure of the design is the bottom boards splitting, which pine will do.

[@JodiGodsC4E]

I would be interested in a cost video myself.

By the way, you can never go wrong with neutrals (browns, wood tones, etc.) with something like this, as it lends well to the outdoor surroundings. Bravo.

I have to tell you my friend you’re explanation and commentary is so inviting to listen to. You take your time to explain all of the important concerns that you or anybody else would have I thoroughly enjoy your videos and wish you the best of luck. Keep on building my friend. I gEt you’re feeling you are a very calm and nice guy like most people from the south. Here in Canada we are also known for kindness and hospitality but I find people from the south such as yourself to be much more obliging and humble take care be well and I hope the Lord blesses you and your family with all the best things in life.

Sir, you are amazingly talented! What a blessing you are to your family. May God bless you all with not just enough, but more than enough. You said you've always struggled financially, being transparent to your viewers. That speaks highly of your character. Not to be preachy, but God's Word says He gives us the power to get wealth. He has blessed you with gifts that you are using very well. You're cooperating with Him as you do your part. I pray again, may our holy and faithful Heavenly Father bless you and your family with more than enough, in the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen and amen. 🙏 🙏

To start THANK YOU for no music!! I really like how you did the rubber floor in the shower. It gives me ideas for what to do in my bus build. What glue did you use on the fabric. Also I'll be using the osb with quarter ince idea for my table. Thank you so much again for no music. If the video is good like yours it doesn't need music as a distraction.

[@mikekrabal]

Thanks a bunch for the audio feedback. It helps me know how to set up the next video. I simply used Gorilla clear construction adhesive for all of the fabric in the camper. The curtains, the bench seat and the rear ceiling. It's the $13 a tube version. Expensive, but rock solid when it sets up. I wish I could take credit for the roofing rubber. That goes to my stepdad. He's a roofer and recommended it.

Great job. I suggest you use several coats of Rust-Oleum paint & their rubber paint on the outside to protect the wood better from the weather. If you want that natural look, it comes in clear too. Happy travels. ☺️

[@mikekrabal]

Thanks for that! I've hoped folks would help with that suggestion.

The brown is a perfect earth color and blends in with the landscape. It is warm and inviting!

[@mikekrabal]

Thank you for that color feedback! I appreciate it so much.

[@serenitycox217]

I absolutely love the layout of this little thing! Thank you for all of the time and effort it took to share this with us. :)

[@mikekrabal]

Thanks for having a look!

[@RickinAwesome]

I was imagining you mounting to the axle and ripping your garage out 😂😂😂

[@mikekrabal]

Woowee, that wouldn't be good! Thanks for checking out the video.

[@patrickrooney5130]

There is nothing I wouldn't change buddy. I think you did a wonderful job. Well done. See you on the next one 👍

[@mikekrabal]

Thanks sir! I appreciate it!

[@icarlsw34]

would change? lol

[@jeffreyhelman-ow8nj]

Your attention to detail is Phenomenal, Great Work.

[@mikekrabal]

Thanks for watching!

[@deborahbonner2282]

Without a doubt one of the best well planned, articulated & executed videos I’ve seen. I’m not one of your normal demographic viewers (age 72 female who used to camp occasionally) but thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the build. Your end product was wonderful! Thanks!

[@mikekrabal]

Thanks for having a look at the build. I appreciate it big time!

[@drewsiph18]

Solid video, the speed of it was perfect in my opinion. Nice build!

[@mikekrabal]

Thanks for having a look at the build!

[@pipmuser9619]

Fantastic build and I love the quiet(music free) video! You really should do more of these, I hope you get the chance! Thank you for sharing.

[@mikekrabal]

Thanks for that feedback. I greatly appreciate it!

[@sawyerallen6576]

Good day kind Sir. I have been watching your progress on your cabin. Your motivation and drive is insane. You should be very proud of the hard work that you have done. I'm sure, no matter of his location, your Father is watching, and feeling very proud of his son. I also enjoy your humor. I have sat here many times, cracking up! I believe that watching you build your cabin, is very motivating. All young men should have the determination that you secure. Be prepared for the slew of single women that will be drawn to the Love Shack. "Build it, and they will come!!! 😊 Keep up the great work. Doug Lobdell Jr

[@mikekrabal]

Thank you, Doug! I appreciate you haivng a look at the camper. I got a kick out of your humor as well!

[@kimberleyclayton6875]

I chose your video as my Saturday night entertainment and loved every minute of it. You did a great job.

[@mikekrabal]

Thank you! That means a lot and I appreciate your time very much!

[@mojo7493]

I'm a woman and have never built a thing, but I watched this from beginning to end in amazement. Your commentary was thoughtful, and the trailer AMAZING!! You have a real talent for building and video creation❤

[@mikekrabal]

Thanks for having a look!

[@mswetra2610]

Me too! My husband is very handy, I'm sending him this video😂 I'd help.

[@MJAP_]

knee pads when youre working on your knees brotha. you can thank me later when you get older.

[@mikekrabal]

I know you ain't lying. Thanks for watching!

[@NorCal-yeti]

A freaking Men= Amen. I thought the same thing when I saw him working on his knees. Lol

[@NorCal-yeti]

Good job 👍

[@mikekrabal]

@@NorCal-yeti Thanks for watching!

[@milesbrown8016]

That caravan is a really thorough build. Well done. Happy camping…

[@007gunlogo]

So enjoyable..and without the music...calming, to watch. Congrats on your great project. I can imagine you and family enjoying many cozy evenings in your custom made cocoon.

[@mikekrabal]

Thanks for having a look!

[@tignim8994]

The earth tone colors are very nice. I love the natural lighting everywhere. You did great, and I hope you and your family enjoy your newly built camper. 🇨🇦

[@mikekrabal]

Thanks, my friend! I appreciate the color feedback.

[@regor2102]

Very Nice. Good well done.

[@mikekrabal]

Thanks for watching!

[@claren4643]

You know, you might have learned a bit more in your schooling than think. You communicate so beautifully. You're a natural teacher, I think. Somewhere you learned that beautiful blend of creativity, planning and implementing that is essential to move from learning into implementing. You are eager to both teach & learn. All of these things are the beautiful qualities of a lifelong learner...some of it god-given/self-taught, but I would imagine that somewhere along the line those abilities were introduced/honed a bit/introduced as possible/encouraged. At any rate... what wonderful work you have done here on so many levels. Bravo!

[@claren4643]

P.S. Gosh I loved so many things...the shower curtain rod was an especial favorite!

[@mikekrabal]

Thank you for having a look at the video. It means a lot!

[@Fieltrom]

Loved it. Aircon at front. Protrude as much as you like, highway winds. Outside storage on the A frame, gas,batteries,aircon,storage.

[@liftspirit]

What. Beautiful job! You are so sweet! God Bless you and your family.

[@mikekrabal]

Thanks for checking out the camper!

[@better_than_nothing]

Beautiful camper. If you really want to up your builds, quit using those scotch locks on your electrical. In my experience, and I have a bit of it, they always fail.

[@mikekrabal]

Thanks for the tip. I'm so new to electrical that I don't know what works yet. I appreciate it! Thanks for watching!

[@willschultz5452]

Yes those things are nothing but trouble for sure

[@CarrieRay]

You are an amazing carpenter and builder!! Beautiful !🎉

[@mikekrabal]

Thanks for having a look!

[@Dogsnark]

This was so fun to watch! I love your inventiveness. I once built my own house so I can appreciate the time, effort, and problem -solving your project entailed. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Happy camping!

[@mikekrabal]

Thanks for checking out the build!
