Your lightweight, eye catching and well equipped camper looks to be very accommodating, whether for a few days or a few months. You've found that much sought balance between weight, bulk, practicality (on or off your truck) style and cost, and in doing so have created this elegantly simple, simply elegant travel cabin. Your build will inspire others to consider the benefits of a light yet strong design and to keep it simple, without missing out on comfort, hygiene and self contained practicality.

Little boat builders go through this debate a lot: use expensive marine plywood, or use basic construction plywood and encapsulate it someway. Fiberglass, though good, is messy and a lot of work. Here are a few techniques used to extend wood life. Exterior poly. Exterior house paint will go a long way to protect the wood from sun and rain. Easy to reapply and change. Houses been using it a long time. 2-part Epoxy boat paint. Fiberglass just the joints where rain gets between the plys. Replace bad panels as they fail - use good screws with good heads. Pre-seal all edges. Money saved buying construction grade plywood, wait till it fails and build another one.

For about the same weight as t 11 you can use plywood, foam, craft sanded interior plywood you get insulation and extra strength in one

The back door was a little less than two feet wide. Sorry, I can be more specific. I just kind of fitted it to the truck as I went. I don’t have the truck cap anymore, I used all the wood and parts to build a skoolie camper out of a short bus, video to come in the next couple of weeks.

Damn it’s not water proof :( I’m currently building my own slide in camper and the exterior walls will be the thinnest sheet of aluminum so no leaks.

Wish there was a better look at how it attaches to the truck...
@hollijacobs78586 жыл бұрын
Haha, blame my husband, he video taped my tour. I used four big aluminum truck cap clamps, four bully clamps (Google them) and bolted it to wood in the 2x4 slots of the truck bed. 10 points of attachment. Probably overkill! :-)

Would you make one for me for 1,000 bucks? Serious question

Tempting offer, but with some basic tools and hours of research you can make your own.

Nice Job-Very Attractive. How do You get the camper on and off You truck? Can You lift it off with some help or do You use jacks? How thick is the sidewall paneling and the the roof? What kind of stain did You use?
@hollijacobs78584 жыл бұрын
I made huge sawhorses and drove under them. Two people could lift up the front or the back. Lift up set on saw horses ..repeat and drive out. Walls 1/4 inch, and roof 1/2 I think.

@@hollijacobs7858 Thanks for Your prompt reply. I assume the stain You used did a good job of waterproofing the wood and the scent didn't linger or could be smelled inside. If You happen to remember the brand of the stain please reply back.
