Building a CAMPER FOR MY SNOWMOBILE

Maybe weld a small triangle plate underneath where the weld broke 🤫👍👍👍

[@tophatvideosinc.5858]

Man, the things I'd do to be able to strap that trailer to my arcticat sabercat 900 overbore and rip it down a lake at 122mph.

[@dries-pederjanse6249]

Maybe it's a good idea to add a folding chair in the combination, then you can sit while eating. Also I think that you lose a lot of heat with the current set up, there is much potential.

[@shoutingatclouds1050]

Ok

[@Heyguys819]

I feel like you are going to make a version to pull with the car on that trailer.🤔

[@kathleensauerbrei5199]

I am an 80 year old grandmother that doesn’t know how to build anything. I was bored and looking through KZbin and came across this. I have to admit it was a great watch. and fun. I have one small suggestion I don’t know if it’ll work or if it will help you. Nobody likes getting up for any reason in the middle of the night. So you know how much fuel you need for your lamps overnight. Why not build a metal pan almost like the fire box you made but much smaller that you could fit both of the wick holders on top, that will hold a full night’s fuel? My reasoning is that you room on the bottom and if you position wick holders spaced evenly, the added room around the base will accommodate the extra fuel needed.

The calendar shot on the back of the snowmobile had me laughing! Thanks for putting in the funny moments! And a big thank you for mentioning A Better Tent City. I see a similar issue in my city and hadn't heard of them before.

You need to hold the welder on just a smidge longer at 3:07 as you haven't filled in the puddle divot. The lack of material can lead to cracking.

[@tentpitchr]

Great stuff Drew! Always fun and interesting

[@PhilipPetrunak]

Have the same welder. If you want to remove all spatter, spray the area of your welding with canned canola oil first. Works fantastically.

[@jackfntwist]

Great build indeed! I need one of those now! For the heater using multiple pipe may help grabbing more heat even a little fan at the top. Stay warm! Cheers!

[@nathanielmeade5731]

Perhaps rather then taking out the heater for the summertime you could make an "A/C" that would fit in its place. I don't know how warm Canadian summers are but where I live 104°F (40°C) summers are pretty common.

@@DrewBuildsStuff where abouts in Canada are you?

[@aaronleverton4221]

So, I had a discussion with my son over the design. He wondered why it was so small (narrow) and posited that it's for solo camping, but wondered where your wife would sleep. I agreed that that was probably a good thesis and an excellent caveat. Then we got into physics. He suggested that a small space is easier to heat, which I had to agree with. Then I explained how larger internal volume leads to larger surface area and smaller comparative heat-loss. This was a little harder to explain so I had to make a practical demonstration (thanks, Yr 11 Biology teacher Mr Dick) and now he wants to know if I'm such a genius why we aren't rich. So, thank you Drew, for some true family quality time.

[@rdmevX]

Hey man, awesome video! Love you brother! I just want to confirm about the tempered glass because as far as I know tempered glass always breaks into little cubes and cannot be drilled or cut

[@BlakieTT]

You are so incredibly impressive, dude.

A 4 Blade Stove and Log Burner Fan on top of that burner would circulate hot air perfectly

[@yeetso8788]

Loved how you included the actual camping trip, I loved seeing the build in action

[@TheRedroselongoria]

Have you thought of the possibility of installing some type of reflective insulation type of material cover for the windows since a lot of heat escapes from the windows? I think this would be a simple and easy solution and could be removable

[@bailym]

Seconding this - some thick 100% wool fabric over/around the window and around the door would probably also help to retain heat.

[@thesaltlifemanshow5522]

Kinda funny honestly that I found this dudes channel and happened to see some of the things hes built. Gotta admit this is pretty cool, and reminds me somewhat of the camper me and my buddy built when we were like 10 or so out of an old flat trailer we had and mostly wood. It definitely wasnt light at all but we certainly used it alot. When we were younger it was mainly pulled by the tractors we built and would ride all over the place. Until we graduated up to quads and then we obviously would use them. I can recall times of taking trips down the old remnants of the railroad track that runs through our town hundreds of miles through indiana. Nowadays it's mostly grown over by trees and such but theres still a trail along some parts. We would take it up about 30 miles to the wabash river where there is now a fairly decent campsite setup and would just hang out do some fishing and boating if we had the boat with us. Good times.

[@phoenixrising4073]

Just a small correction: you said it was tempered glass that you drilled etc. That is in fact annealed glass as tempered glass will shatter after cutting into it more than half of its thickness. Either way, great video man, thank you for the upload!

[@DrewBuildsStuff]

Hey! Yes I think you are right, I’ve had a few comments on that now and did a bit more research on it. Learn something everyday ha. Thanks for watching!!

[@buckh6233]

If you can find a way to get a heatsink under the latch on top of that heater & another on the inside bolted together you can probably get more heat outta it. or give it a high/medium/low setting. heatsink & exchanger actively running, only one running, or neither running & just passively putting off heat. Could trim the latch down too to make more space, or weld a loop on it as a grab point & trim it way down

[@mrbravosworkshop]

Hey drew if you got really tricky tile or glass cuts....or drilling them do it under water not too deep but fully submerged....the water takes up all the vibrations which stops the breaking.....I've use this also to cut thin close to edge tile stuff and it works a treat.....love your videos from Australia

[@greencheeksconure]

22:36 will always have me tuned in . Nice one hot stuff👍💪

[@Watson1]

Really enjoyed the video. You need a flexible hitch. One the allows the trailer follow up and down plus side to side. There out there. Otherwise good job. Can’t wait for the next one. Subscribed

[@Twinspinner]

In regards to your worry about that aluminum weld, even if it might be a little unsightly, I personally probably would've bolted a little bracket onto that joint that broke just to add to the integrity of it

[@makapa2u]

nice setup, but aluminum for the hitch arm won't last but a few years of use. the metal will fatigue and crack at the elbows, especially from temp changes and just being dragged behind the bumpy trails

Have you ever thought about making a sterling heat engine? The kind that heat alone can rotate a fan blade to circulate heat. That way rather than most of the heat pooling near the ceiling the sterling heat engine help push it back down towards the floor.

Awesome conversion. I can see some ice fishing in it's future. Thank you for the most enjoyable video.

[@douglasreeves9938]

Great build. Just a thought about a heat source for your heater. A UCO candielier candle lantern puts out up to 5,000 BTU's using 3 9 hour candles. Each candle is about $1.50 USD. You can light only the candles that you might need. I have used them in a one person tent and was really surprised.

That's so good! I love it. I'm hopefully going to buy my own house this year so I'll be able to start doing projects soon which I'm super keen for! Also, once summer rolls around it'd be cool to add a little awning + bracket and perhaps a basket on the back so you can bring things which don't need to be water-proofed (like the aformentioned awning and some camping chares and whatnot). Then go for a big old camping trip! :D

[@Godfreed87]

Hey bro just thought I would suggest making sure that glass jar your using doesn’t break under heat leaking the oil out starting a real fire that won’t be so easy to control or put out!?!? Just if it tries break you could burn your whole trailer down. But everything you’ve done is amazing. Bravo 👍

[@4g63tpowered]

Dude your a damn good fabricator for what you have available to you. Aluminum isn't uniform because it wants preheat. If you use a mig spool gun aluminum likes pre heat. That's why the welds look different throughout. The settings don't match the metal properties. Tig you can get more control of that weld puddle.

Next time, move the skis a little further forward, and make it about 20% bigger. Then you would have something to sell at the R.V. shows.
