[@Threeheadsrk]

Beautiful barn/shop

[@campingboy9213]

Great job. What an amazing work space you have.

Hold part with foot while cutting allows for yoga and other activities

Converting a 1993 Hardbody 4x4 to an RV. Just gotta decide; walk through or removable.

[@WotanSkyFather]

Getting there!

[@roboxx11]

Great project, I'm watching and looking forward to the next parts. What is the lifespan of such a wooden structure in off-road terrain, did you have a problem with stiffness during your first project?

[@TruckHomeSwitzerland]

Hey thanks! i have never done any crazy offroad besides some bumpy gravel roads or a steep bank to get to a spot. i don't see a problem in stiffness.. there are plenty of wooden camper builds out there (pretty similar to mine) and seem to do the job.

[@malcolmnicholls3376]

Like. But I think I'd rather use a hand saw for some of those cuts. 🤔

[@amadei2]

Im curious why you didn't use nails ? Nails are much more resistant to shearing, which happen alot in a moving camper

[@Patagonia-lh3bw]

Hermosa, puedo preguntar de que espesor son las placas del forro ? . Algun día quiero hacer una

[@shaneBella]

Nice job ? did you use marine ply ? Or just standard ply?

[@RobMart2000]

Looks great. How wide did you build it and how tall is it. Been thinking about building one. THX

[@TruckHomeSwitzerland]

Hey, it's 190cm tall and wide. Interior height little over 183cm ish..

[@info_basic]

Sehr geiles Projekt und kommt richtig gut👍 darf ich fragen woher du das Holz beziehst?

[@TruckHomeSwitzerland]

Hey danke. Kantholz von einer Sägerei nähe Kloten und die Platten über den Schreiner vom Dorf.

[@info_basic]

Merci fürd Antwort! Bin an einem ähnlichen Projekt und Input ist immer gut:) Noch eine Frage: jetzt wo du die Wand- und Deckenplatten dran hast, ist das ganze ja schon relativ schwer. Wie bringst du nun das Fiberglas am Boden auf? Kippst du es 90 Grad oder bockst du es irgendwie auf?

[@TruckHomeSwitzerland]

Gerne doch ;) schau dir EP2 an das wird deine frage beantworten.. Gruss

[@user-nc1ks1sf8k]

Im curious aswell, how has it held up against torsion while driving, how did you mount to the deck, and how is it weather sealed?

[@TruckHomeSwitzerland]

i never had any flex/torsion issues with my last diy campers, this one is built even stronger. its tied down to the frame by 4 ratched straps (see in part4). the complete camper is wrapped in 2 layers of fiberglas.

[@RichardTorresOfficial]

What's the total weight of the camper so far with framing and plywood?

[@TruckHomeSwitzerland]

hey. around 500kg dry, this is with 6 windows, 350w solar, fridge, toilet, bed and electrics. i assume less than 400kg only framing, plywood and fiberglass.

[@warrenbenton9033]

Did you glue and screw ply on? or glue and nail ply on? thanks.

[@TruckHomeSwitzerland]

Glue and screw

[@jwiereng]

@@TruckHomeSwitzerland looks like small screws. What size screw did you use? 2x 19 mm?

Qu’est ce que tu mets sur tes visses
