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.

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.

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.

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

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!
