[@candymcclure2476]

I was totally surprised when you said you built it. It looks every bit as good as a commercially built one. Gramma Candy

[@robertoconnell8153]

B.O.B. Is badass man!! This is almost exactly what I have been thinking of building. I can't wait to check out your build posts. Thanks for the share!!

[@platinumemories]

Exactly what I was looking for. All the ideas I had running around in my head - you did all of them! Woohoo! Thanks

[@mikerobbins5049]

B.O.B. Is very nicely done. Your research and planning payed off. To buy a rig like that is very expensive and your workmanship looks to be top notch as well as your choice of materials

[@TheGratitudeAttitude]

Amazing build... You thought of everything! Love the layout and all the extras you included that add real comfort to a teardrop... I'd much rather have a water heater than the television that was standard with our T@G ... Thanks for sharing your fabulous teardrop! ~ Maria

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

One of the best designs I've seen. You did a great job with the craftsmanship!

[@j.a.b.9976]

Beautiful job! Great ideas though out your build. I bet it's nice to have bunks/couch for the extra room for storage when traveling. You'll have to sit down and tell subscribers about how you went about the build with photos.

[@michaelosborne9135]

Hey guys. Like Bob. And that great campground. Have a good time. Happy trails!

[@titanpat57]

Lots of satisfaction in building your own...although it's always evolving...nice job

[@decastring]

This is an amazing build! You've got some awesome skills!

[@budgetoverland9702]

I have been looking for ideas. For bunk beds. I am stealing this idea. Such an awesome build

[@ZeroToAwesome]

Thanks!

[@SaintPrepper]

Wow!! Best build home built trailer I've seen. Wish you had a build video to go with, but thank you for the content and inspiration!!!

[@Buzz420]

I have the same style but smaller. Bought it for $2100. Needs a bigger axle and tires but it's work in progress & is perfect for my week long fishing trips. Love my little camper

[@johnkaper1129]

Very enjoyable homey video, thank you for sharing and showing us BOB, great!!

[@floridaoverlandexplorer3896]

Looks as nice or nicer than one toy would buy from a teardrop company. Great job!

[@RH-tt1zj]

Nicest one I've seen. And that includes ones built by camper companies. Literally didn't forget or skimp on a thing.

[@icarrrv]

Brilliant. Bigger is definitely better. It's a mistake I will not make again. Looks like a great camper enjoy.

[@jojopuerto]

Nice work! I am really interested in building one myself. Great inspiration!

[@rcsproject627]

Yes an awesome rig. Nice job!!!

[@psfphotography]

That is one of the best little campers I have seen ! Great job !

[@ZeroToAwesome]

Thanks!

[@avocado3748]

Beautiful job, it looks professional

[@daviddunne6222]

Cool video. Bob is awesome. Well done and enjoy it!👍

[@michaelhassell545]

Best DIY camper I've seen in KZbin.... Well done and I feel inspired

[@ZeroToAwesome]

Thank you! The hardest part is planning

[@stevenmcfarlane8831]

Like the double awning. In Scotland we’d need full 360, it’s always raining lol

[@Joeoshea1957]

Better off with a caravan because here in Ireland they would snap offwith the wind

[@hectoralicea3079]

Really nice B.O.B build

[@1950harleycharley]

What a cute couple...gonna watch Bob get built and then I will come back to this video...subscribe too....wow!!! You built Bob from scratch...great great job!!! Wow!

[@DiverNeil22]

OMG best DIY camper i have seen yet!!!!!! Gonna take a lot of cues from BOB!!!!!!! Thanks

[@ZeroToAwesome]

Thanks and good luck with your build!

[@DIYM105Camper]

Bob looks awesome dude great video!

[@BasecampUnbounded]

Very nice build. Great job!

[@CampandCamera]

Very nice rig! Well done!

[@rdlykryk4384]

That's a neat little set up.

[@timburton1715]

Beautiful setup... thanks 🙏🏻 for sharing..,!!

[@markseabaugh4157]

TOTALLY SICK BUILD!!!!! let me guess engineer? ozarks also a great choice! I recently added an accumulator to my water pump certainly w/ the $30. and an olympian catalytic heater would take care of the off grid heating. The bunk/couch is awesome. Thanks for sharing

[@garywray6081]

It’s not exactly my kind of trailer but Wow what a great job and I too got an idea or two from you. I have been struggling to get that great multi purpose piece unit I want. I think I found it with your bunk couch design. I have teens that will come along sometime. I have seen other similar ones but yours is so simple and perfect. Your whole build is great. Put a little dimmer on the galley light next to the switch and it will be perfect. LOL!

[@kerynwoods6068]

G’day mate, great video & bloody nice job with Bob! I’m gathering ideas for my little Getawaymobile

[@ZeroToAwesome]

Good luck! Some of those off-road campers down under were my inspiration. Looks like it all comes full circle!

[@sylviajones4907]

Really like this! Good job.

[@aaronbuildsstuff1760]

Nice trailer setup! Gotta watch out for them Bears!

[@yosup84]

For your light bar on your kitchen, try using some transparent vinyl wrap or tint on it to help reduce the brightness. Maybe an amber color or yellow or red, to preserve your night vision.

[@prepperjonpnw6482]

He was saying it’s not so much the brightness but the amount of power it draws. I would still put an amber or yellowish tint on it though just to keep the bugs away at night.

[@Raykenn1]

Impressive build !

[@jonthebru]

You back very well.

[@lovablepersona5000]

Super nice build! I'm getting ready to start a smaller scale project. You've given me some great ideas.

[@proffd972]

I really like your trailor. The problem with me getting started on building any trailer is that i can't find one that is long enough. You solved that by building your own. Excellent job on the trailer. I wish i had the welding skills you did.

[@gobybike99]

Just saw these and congrats cool camper and build.

[@patbraden4342]

Great job fantastic organization and cute

[@kelliethorne1200]

Sweet build!

[@martintierney6303]

Wow Bob is seriously impressive!! Awsum achievement!! If you ever want to visit Ireland you can stay at my house and help me build Bob 2.0. lol

[@karthik4370]

Awesome build!

[@briandean7206]

Lots of engineering went into that camper. You did a really nice job!

[@matthewfinnigan3862]

Great rig would love to build something like this

[@MrBlair-ft2li]

Beautiful neighborhood. You're living the American Dream :)

[@ZeroToAwesome]

Thanks! You think that’s nice. You should see his collection of Pez Dispensers. This guy has a mint 1981 Chewbacca!

[@jimdavis8804]

Great build.

[@stevealesi489]

Nice build! I love the ambient LEDs. Also, You could rotate that 3 ft LED bar in the back to make it a flood light type thing to light up the area behind the trailer

[@williamprior4525]

Qaa2 ml.

[@heatseekerbus]

Great setup 👍

[@athroop1321]

That thing is sweet! Great setup! I opted for a 17 footer so I have a shitter and a shower.

[@ZeroToAwesome]

Two of my favorite hobbies!

[@williamsnodgrass4723]

Do you have video of this trailer A Throop?

[@hoagiesherlin7732]

You built an awesome rig !!!

[@ZeroToAwesome]

It comes off and I usually remove it. Just forgot to that time!

[@prepperjonpnw6482]

Zero To Awesome what?

[@ZeroToAwesome]

There was a comment about raising the tongue jack wheel more. But now it’s gone...

[@jacmens]

very nice built big thumbs up.

[@ibetrollintheybehatin6857]

I would be worried of some hillbilly thinking this was the new Roswell landing and start shooting with that LED light display!!! LOL Sweet camper!!!

[@ZeroToAwesome]

LOL thanks!

[@gabrieluribe1852]

Nice build, I built one to but no rear kitchen, it's got a rear w/c and inside and outside shower 25 gallon fresh water

[@gabriels32]

very nice job

[@PWlangford1]

Nice set up.

[@prepperjonpnw6482]

Great job! Awesome home build. I was hoping you would cover the materials used. The outside looks like stainless steel and inside birch plywood. I think everyone watching and commenting is hoping for plans and materials list lol. You could probably make some $$ for the plans etc. I know I’d pay for them lol. Or just post someway that is downloadable for free. I think all of us are very impressed and a bit envious lol Cheers mate and happy trails

[@ZeroToAwesome]

Check out the tnttt thread in the description. All the plans, parts used, etc. are in there. The outside is aluminum and the inside is birch. Plans are on pages 1 and 3 of the thread. www.tnttt.com/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=66631

[@thomasdipaolo2349]

Very cool trailer

[@corax2012]

The shelf extending fore and aft of the wheel well is a good idea for extra storage, etc. It doesn't make the camper any wider since the wheels stick out anyway.

[@ZeroToAwesome]

Makes a good place to quickly strap down an ez up and hit the road!

[@SteveBoyer10]

So nice. I'd buy one if I could.

[@TexasFamilyCamping]

I want so badly to build my own to sleep 4, but I am not a welder. This trailer is amazing.

[@ZeroToAwesome]

Check out www.tnttt.com for lots of ideas that don’t require welding. Some people convert a utility trailer or even use cargo trailers as a base

[@albion2742]

That's brilliant.

[@mlangfordcamper]

This is the best one in a while, I have built a few but not this nice.

[@modelnutty6503]

4 of those Peltier chip air cooling units might be enough and save space plus weight, about 1000-1200 BTU worth from 12V and 30 amps. roll down movie screen and a little 12v 640x480 (native) projector would be pretty cool for inside, or for use outside a 5ft screen. 14 gallons not too bad if "showering" minimalist style, two small pans for soap+ sponge and rinse+sponge with less than 1/2 gallon, been there too.

[@ZeroToAwesome]

I like the screen idea!

[@debsmalltownfriendly7557]

Fantastic build! 💙

[@donutplanetstudio8866]

AMAZING ONE🍻

[@TashieJ.]

wow..very nice

[@johnroddy8756]

A credit I know having built a 8 by 4 one myself like yours boltic berch inside.The axe i be worried in case some nut ,would do you harm especially at night.You cant be carefull enough

[@neilmarshall4927]

I realize this video is old, but it's awesome. I just subscribed

[@ZeroToAwesome]

Age is just a number, thanks for the compliment!!

[@oldschooldiy3240]

Nice!

[@AndrewSmith-xp9ls]

Great build! Having trouble finding build details? I’m trying to piece together from different plans to do what I like. There are some things I like about your build!

[@AndrewSmith-xp9ls]

I went to tapatalk but could find those details

[@MrMaxine1959]

I like Bob. I like the couch idea, good for the dogs bed. Side awning keeps the heat off the sides. I don’t see what you need the generator for.

[@ZeroToAwesome]

The generator is just for heat or a/c since they require 110v

[@mre3120]

I’m impressed I hop mine comes out like yours . I would like to know how you built the door for galley to keep water out . Info on that would be appreciated and have you had any leaks on it .

[@ZeroToAwesome]

No leaks! I used a hurricane hinge and t-mounding from vintage technologies. Check out my tnttt thread in the description for more details. Lots of other good hatch info on that site too.

[@bkl8804]

What a beauty! So professional. Id love to see pictures of "what not". Btw, can you angle the LED bar outwards so it can be used to light up the camp site if needed?

[@ZeroToAwesome]

You could rotate the light but you might need a ladder to get to the screws that loosen it. Maybe sit on someone’s shoulders? And there’s a video of whatnot now! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGXIZZyVZrGVqc0

[@tomloguidice8380]

Very nice rig maybe if you dont already make them ad sell them.

[@raysboatingandadventure1277]

Great video

[@ZeroToAwesome]

Thank you!

[@RH-tt1zj]

Make the bunk top lean out a little and the bottom slide out some so you don't have to sit completely vertical and it is more comfortable.

[@ZeroToAwesome]

It is angled a little. Probably hard to see in the video though

[@danshively5253]

Nice.

[@chadmiller5778]

Love it! Can you please give me more information on the awning? I don't think I missed it in the comments. Thanks

[@ZeroToAwesome]

They’re ARB 2500s. I’ve had a couple poles damaged in high winds but the great part is you can get replacement parts from 4 wheel parts for cheap. Pro tip I learned from another camper: use dog tether stakes to tie them down and you won’t have to worry about broken poles!

[@chrisfriemel392]

Looks alot like sorghum hallow rd. Really close to my house where you were camping!

[@ZeroToAwesome]

It was!!

[@cartsquads47]

Very nice build, I'm in the process of building a camper, where did you buy your side latches for your folding Bunk / Couch?

[@ZeroToAwesome]

Small secret- approximately 1/3 of bob came from amazon. JR Products 20655 Universal Bolt Latch - Nickel www.amazon.com/dp/B002UC8P9Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_OqqwCbR3EXRNK

[@BigPrada9603]

I was reading your write up and it's awesome! Do you have a ballpark figure for the build?

[@ZeroToAwesome]

Thanks! About $12k

[@chadrossiter8432]

I like your build do you happin to have any saved blueprints?

[@rodneypardensr5703]

Chick-Fil-A is a great place to start an outing.

[@jesse7055]

Awesome build man, does the aircon work ok without having full external ventilation?

[@ZeroToAwesome]

So far so good! It’s ran for 3 days straight in 100 degree heat without issue before

[@jdpenterprises1]

Very nice! Would you consider rental of bob by the hour?

[@jdpenterprises1]

I was hoping one of your family members was part of the deal.

[@805steve4]

Great job building and showing BOB. How big is he? After looking at your plan at tnttt, it looks like BOBs cabin is 5' x 12" ?

[@ZeroToAwesome]

Yep, you got it. Cabin is 5’x12’ and the whole trailer is 16’ long.

[@web3036]

great job luv it, it's worth 30k looking at what you get for 20k now a days....

[@MonaLisa-pn9bu]

Great little camper. One question I have to ask... you have a toilet stashed somewhere?

[@ZeroToAwesome]

Lol! There is a fold up bag style camp toilet stashed in the toolbox. You could probably stuff a chemical toilet in there if you wanted but I didn’t want to have to deal with cleaning it out.

[@MonaLisa-pn9bu]

@@ZeroToAwesome ha ha, thanks for your response! It's always the first thing I wonder because I don't like walking more than 20 feet to some dark place in the woods to use a hole in the ground. I did that when I was young and camped in tents and sleeping bags... I'm old now and want my toilet IN THE CAMPER with a minimal amount of spiders and things. ha ha ha

[@yepme6484]

I like your trailer

[@wernerzwiener5830]

18:50 Make your jockey wheel higher!

[@jsolomo5]

I’m obsessed with your build! Great job. Exactly what I need for a family of four with 2 under 2! Love your doors. Where did you source these from?

[@ZeroToAwesome]

Thanks! The doors came from vintage technologies. They have a lot of good stuff for teardrops

[@jsolomo5]

@@ZeroToAwesome Thanks!!! Much appreciated.

[@nu-waveutilitytrailers3308]

Where did you get the paneling for the interior and the paneling for your Cabinetry nice camper thanks in advance

[@ZeroToAwesome]

From Fort Worth plywood co. It’s their Russian birch

[@mattokane3069]

How do you find the AC work hidden inside the camper (NOT MOUNTED IN THE TRADITIONAL WAY) - Does it work ok? Great Build by the way - like the bunks, might use that idea.

[@ZeroToAwesome]

Works great! I ran it for 3 days straight in 100 degree heat with no issues. If I were to do it again I’d make the hatch a little bigger and ditch the pc fans.

[@mattokane3069]

@@ZeroToAwesome Did you find the PC Fans are not needed ?

[@ZeroToAwesome]

If you leave the pc fans off the a/c exhaust fan blows them just as fast as when they’re on. So yeah, I don’t think they’re necessary. I’d just enlarge the opening a little bit for piece of mind.

[@locostbamboo]

I love this build! BOB is a 10 footer, right? What was the box you used for the shower? I’m hoping to build a mini version of what you’ve done and my wife has requested your shower. Thanks for the great video and build!

[@ZeroToAwesome]

He’s 12’ and I made the shower box out of 16ga sheet metal, a hinge, and a latch. There’s some pics in the tnttt thread in the description. And thanks!

[@rcooper44537]

Hey! I'm in the middle of a teardrop build. Could you please tell me where you got your cabinet hardware? Those black latches are great.
