Don't Do What I Did - Teardrop Camper Build

[@koningbolo4700]

This kind of trailer campers are great to use when one is building say an off grid camper in the middle of nowhere and said one wanted to do the occasional 2 day build binger...

[@TheGreatRandom]

As your kids age, they’d love to invite their friends to the mountain cabin. Having this as extra sleeping space / movie hut would be cool. Hope your family visit is going great! ❤

[@HydraMods]

Always been a big fan of your builds. I truly can't thank you enough for doing this kind of content, where you follow up on a project and go over things you'd change, and mistakes that were made! I often see DIYers making projects that look great, but I wonder to myself what mistakes they hid along the way, or how the project holds up over time. Not in a cynical way, I've just made a lot of projects on a DIY level and wonder these things to myself from experience. Love the build, keep up the awesome work man

[@WoodnessGoodness]

❤️❤️❤️

[@tomlorenzen4062]

This build is how I found your channel! Love that trailer.

[@burgler2112]

I think this build video was what made me find your channel a couple years back. It’s been a fun ride. Keep it up!

[@ViktorSarge]

Heck time really moved when I wasn't looking. Nice to see this again.

[@thefirststrike]

You may have had some problems over time, but I still think yours is one of the best builds I have seen. And I have watched dozens/hundreds of these videos in preparation to build my own. I really liked the under neath drawers, that was an awesome idea, and a great way to be able to raise the actual sleeping area up enough to make it wider than the trailer. When the time comes, I will use some of your ideas and techniques on my own build. So thank you for the videos, even if there are some problems. :-) BTW...how fast can you tow it? Supposedly these HF trailers are only rated for up to 45 mph.

[@WoodnessGoodness]

I’ve towed it at around 70MPH no problem BUT I did upgrade the wheels which have a higher speed rating.

[@brandons42472]

Let’s get an update on the horse trailer bar!!!

[@TotalBoat]

It's great to reflect on a build! Helps you improve for the next one :)

[@andyduane3308]

Basically….. watch out for the basically trap. Love your videos! Keep it up!!!

[@TheGreatRandom]

I always loved the inspiration wall made of old car ads. ❤

[@MrKnotWright]

I was wondering what happened to the teardrop, thanks for the update, hopefully some lucky person gets the opportunity to own the Woodness Goodness Teardropness!!

[@TinyCamperCamping]

So weird, I just discovered this channel a few weeks ago. And all I've watched so far was the camper build. Lol

[@allisonwanderland9917]

Wow, time flies! I love total boat, too!

[@koningbolo4700]

Yeah great...Botal Toat

[@davidshumway9639]

Before you tear that apart to rebuilt it, consider "wrapping" it with some sort of waterproof membrane. You could get black, cover the whole top and halfway down the sides or something. You could stretch it as one piece or lap seam it. Whatever. But that would be effective and alot less hassle than tearing it apart and rebuilding it.

[@chriscapaccio3463]

Holy Woodness Ivegotalilcamperness baby!!! That was a great little build brother and occupied us watching you build it, which was probably the main goal in mind. Didn’t your trailer try to run away from you at one time? Maybe you should just set it free lol. I think you should spruce it up and leave it at the cabin so you can keep things there and spend the night while you’re working on it. Keep getting after it big G.

[@JCGible]

Thanks for your update. I like your design. Did it tow nicely down the road?

[@WoodnessGoodness]

Yea it towed well!

[@outdoorsman357]

You will be repairing the damage no matter what,just should have done it sooner then later.but all in all it's a nice biuld.

[@frankensteinracing3520]

First time is always a learning curve. Now you know. If you build another one what to do and what not to do. As for the bedliner smell from the drawer. Park it in the sun obviously on a nice clear day and leave it open generally have found that relieves it.

[@davet.4945]

Looks like you could haul that up to the cabin! What a luxury apartment that would be for the Pack Rats! Rat Air B&B!!

[@my7hik]

Great idea doing the review video. Thank you!

[@carlhaase2950]

I might be interested in the trailer

[@davidperry6716]

Very cool project and learning opportunity! 👊🏻

[@bossman6174]

I wonder where you bought the Epoxy Resin and the fiberglass cloth. I can't find it anywhere for a reasonable price. Btw, I like the build and thanks for the tips.

[@WoodnessGoodness]

I got the rolls off eBay from what I remember. And the epoxy products from totalboat.com

[@LilYeshua]

You could sell the trailer just for the trailer,save the windows and door and scrap the shell. Personally I would've have a aluminum shell frame made and use either RV tin or the other material they build RV's with. I'd add a more aerodynamic front to it with storage space. Back in the sixties my dad made a wooden shelled enclosed luggage carrier out of wood and painted it silver to mount on the Family '67 Chevy Impala station wagon to go and visit my mom's people halfway across the country. When it wasn't being used he kept it stored overhead in the garage.

[@jonharris3476]

I wonder if you did Laminated fiberglass / foam like a boat how that would change the weight / structure.

[@mjo326]

Paper mache is the best possible siding for camping trailers.

[@WoodnessGoodness]

Hehehehehehhe

[@richardofsylmar]

But you can still use it. You could use it up at the cabin and comfortably do sleepovers so you can get even more work done up there on the mountain.

[@nathangreenberg3683]

Could build just like a simple garage roof thing and park it underneath and still use it

[@davidshumway9639]

If you check marketplace you can find resellers of the rigid foam board (probably seconds), for CHEAP

[@24CiViC]

Hindsight is always 20/20 ☺️…I still love the camper, though!

[@BubbysFabShop]

What is the interior decoration on the wall inside by the door ? I just built my first teardrop style camper.

[@WoodnessGoodness]

I used a sealer and old car magazines to create a cool wallpaper

[@BubbysFabShop]

@WoodnessGoodness I absolutely love it because I built mine to do my Drag&Drive events with and that would fit in perfect ,with what I doing with my setup. Thank you for getting back to me

[@adrianbro8220]

What ever happened to the transportable mini cabin build?

[@WoodnessGoodness]

Haha great question. I should do an update video for that too I guess

[@Keasbeysknight]

Yeah, I was wondering where it went and kinda sad we never got to see it used for its intent? Didn't you want it to be a mobile tool shed you could sleep in? I'm assuming for the cabin?

[@WoodnessGoodness]

Yea I thought so too. Just haven’t had the time to be able to fix and damp with it. Got a lot of irons in the fire.

[@ericorange441]

Go get some aluminum sheeting and cover the outside.

[@AndrewPowerTower]

Spare door only makes sense for fire safety, but for such a small space I don't know if it matters. Sucks that it was damaged and you didn't get to really use it.

[@dgallegos1686]

Just put tpo on the top

[@FishingwithCristina]

I would love to purchase it for me but unfortunately I'm flat broke. I'm trying to sell my sailboat to be able to fix my car or get a your one it has a bad transmission

[@jacquelinefilby1842]

It’s a shame after all that work and care on the design that you don’t actually camp! I live in NM so much less moisture and would love to buy it but Virginia is too far. I am sure someone closer will buy. These things sell like hot cakes!

[@ericlohr6036]

what?!?!?!? no sh*tter or shower?!?!? lol! jk. I'll have to check out the build. looks pretty damn nice to me! Nice vid!
