One of my favorite all time bumper sticker quotes., I seen some 35 years ago...."If this Campers Rockin', Don't Come Knockin".....Perfect fit for this off road Beauty...Just saying. LOL !!

[@kenmurray4232]

That trailer has its own built in roll cage. Really cool. I like the shifter handles Shawn. Just something a little different.

[@nytrocircus]

Port side is red. Starboard is green. :) Keep the red cans on your right when returning to port.

[@tyendor1952]

Yep, the three R's ... Red Right Return

[@HVACsuccess2007]

I'm an HVAC contractor and we use what's called ductboard that's used insolation, It works perfect and its exactly what you are describing. So easy to install. You will love it

[@HVACsuccess2007]

Its also flexible

[@TylerDuysen]

yep they sell it in 4x8 sheets at lowes and home depot and its fairly cheap and has a really good r rating

[@christophersells9146]

Supper Cool!!! Might want to Calk in place the windows (folding one's) on the ends....I have a 67 trailer..and off road they will bounce out... Looking Rad...

[@pvkj454]

I used it for insulation and sound deadener in my trailer generator compartment. Good stuff.

[@scotthastings5794]

I love your videos and the saying you guys say. "You guys need to pay more attention", "It doesn't break, it'll go right to the bone", "I did this while you weren't paying attention"😂

[@jmowiscoproud]

The slope of the roof is the reason your 2 bars for the upper cabinet measure an inch difference! All in all good day and God Bless

[@leonardvaughn9904]

Yeah that was my first thought roof isn't flat it's a bubble top the one on the right is in the middle at the peak of the bubble

[@cooperbybee4308]

COUNTER BORE SNAP ON HANDLES! Shawn, if you counter bore the opening of the handles to the diameter of the un-threaded size of the shifter you'll be able to screw on them all the way to the bottom of the hole. And there will be a a little shoulder for it to butt up against, firming it all up.

[@vinceimp9581]

It's gonna be like pulling a black hole up obstacles with all that metal in that tank of a trailer, awesome!

[@ezraclements7472]

Never more perfectly stated! Unless it's interior walled and insulated. Should spray foam it and just shave the walls in.

[@kyferez1]

Get a one part spray foam instead. Yes it's gonna cost more, but it will eliminate 5 issues rather than only one. It will stop rattles. It will keep water out. It will prevent drafts. It will insulate. It will prevent the galvonic corrosion if you get a small amount between the steel frame and aluminum shell. It WILL be worth it. I think at most it will cost you 600. If you want to use it to mostly acheive the benefits and reduce cost, you could only spray the joints in the shell and floor, window edges, and areas where shell contacts steel frame, that would likely only cost 250 for a 12-can kit.

[@dirtbillydeluxe]

That sounds like a great idea!

[@billbrown8789]

Mike,Shawn, you guys are a blast 😅😂😂😂

[@ohiomoto]

"Having a bathroom in your camper is kind of like having a..." And this " It's liquid Starburst juice..." GOLD!!! Absolute GOLD!! 😂

[@Tanks-Link]

Not only that but you could build a little ladder to go up on top make you a little rooftop deck it’d be great for hunting, cup of coffee, first thing in the morning, etc. etc.

[@MoaByte-v2z]

No bathroom? Good idea. I don't think the "bricks" would hold up. 😂 I love this project!

[@garybrady9531]

Oh Mike it's gotta have a charcoal grill riding on the back bumper/air tank

[@kevinking3402]

Put a hinged lid on the sink for a table top.

[@jessepitt]

I made a removable insert that doubles as a cutting board.

[@cahammer]

Hey Mike great meeting you today that camper is way cooler in person also we need some more trail ride videos 😊

[@MichaelMaxim-ft5sv]

All your projects were fun to watch today..Great seeing Shawn's family helping today..what are you going to name the camper..Hillbilly Hotel

[@tyendor1952]

Dirtbilly Deluxe

[@UmmmmmmmWhat]

If The Mike and Shawn Show had a mascot, it would be a cartoon smiling bandaged thumb. The logo design winner should win a dozen carton of rockpecker eggs 😂

[@tyendor1952]

Diamond Biller Rock Peckers are an endangered & protected species and it is illegal to remove them or their eggs from their natural habitat.

[@ezraclements7472]

That's what I was thinking ​@@tyendor1952

[@josiewayne6004]

starburst juice...!!!! that IS hilarious

[@deshb22]

Glorious Off-Road Trailer CO 😊

[@chrisprattt]

Yeah dad🙌👊out jeep stuff with your ladybugs

[@phantom714]

COOL STUFF! Luxury camping with Rollover protection! You could get ride out a tornado in that thing!

[@jakequaempts5234]

Can’t wait to see the camper in action 🎉

[@lyndonkapoor8823]

Camper is coming along nice Mike 👌 Shaun, love the screw driver handles for the gear shifters! If the handles don't hold up, maybe get some 2 or 3 inch long threaded steel inserts for the handles, to give them more strength.

[@joegraffhobo-elect9128]

I've lived in the high desert, and it didn't snow a lot , but that doesn't mean it wasn't cold out there. Build that trailer. Im paying attention. 😊

[@johnkraemer839]

It's the ceiling sloping down in the back/left side

[@cognitivedissonancecamp6326]

LOL - SEAN - "yea, really hard to walk on over there". Sounds like eyore from Winnie the Pooh. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@glennbayley5863]

The difference is in the roof it is shaped. Don't forget some kind of insulation. Keep your warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Brilliant video was usual.👏👏🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲👍🇬🇧

[@skiqsr]

Making snake bite ends😂😂😂. Remember to under coat with a good tar based sealant. Winch class was great.

[@deancartwright9784]

I used to build Kit camper trailers and work with some buddies to take old ones and fix them for rough area camping. It seems to me that you might think about more steel in all the walls while you are still able to do that easy. Better to have more strength than you think you need. Just a thought. You guys are great and I enjoy You so much!!!!

[@vinamerosa1923]

luv you guys as brothers ... just genuine good dudes making some KZbin... nothing fancy, just real stuff making it work. I think is cool how you decided to make your own channel ... I LOVE RORY ( he is the best recovery guy period ) but he right hand men are also very cool and capable guys ... I prefer the real time record content as it happens .... Mike and Shawn are the real deal for guys working with their hands... We are one my brothers !

[@davidtornow203]

dont forget the camper in the logo

[@Badjak]

I put used tool boxes in my 4x4 ambulance conversion. $100 or less each. I put one vertical for a closet and two under the bed for gear and food storage. They are lightweight and sturdy. Two very important factors for an off-road rv.

[@Badjak]

*truck boxes for tools

[@randalmartin438]

For the mud flaps make a crossbar that goes in the receiver that spreads across the wheelbase put semi mud flaps on them that will stop the rocks and the mud spray

[@jamesmelvin4125]

Love the camper build!

[@kirk467]

Yeah, that square tubing is strong and like you said! No open ends, lasts longer! Looking good Mike!👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻 All the bracing in there will help stabilize the whole structure when you’re on the rocks! Keep the whole top from flexing, the more bracing the better brother and the snow is some heavy stuff from what I hear!

[@cynthialeonard8424]

Hey Mike you should save space and have a hammac that hangs from roof and can be put away during day . To only come out at night to sleep on

[@ford_drivingbuilder4225]

looking great. thats going to be a tank

[@kirk467]

I think the steering on the camper is going to be so cool guys! Yall have to add the camper in the logo with smoke coming out of the stove pipe!

[@jessepitt]

Death Moon is looking good. And heavy 😂. JK, it’s turning out amazing. I’m pretty sure that before you started building the steel frame a strong wind could have destroyed that thing, now it will handle a tornado. Without even budging 😂.

[@jilbertb]

That's not a moon. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@jessepitt]

@@jilbertb It’s going to orbit the Death Star so…

[@gregsommer5805]

hinged wooden cover for window and be able to prop it open so it doubles as an awning

[@clivehorridge]

Just love Mike’s justified optimism, “…you’ll see, it’s going to be awesome…” good on you Mike, keep it coming ❤️🇷🇴

[@albertorozco5981]

I love this build. Only off road camper of its kind. 🤘

[@brockryan3405]

Closed cell spray insulation! Will form to the shape of the walls.

[@kurtwerner4258]

This has been my new favorite channel for a while now. 😊

[@StuArts-Kustoms]

I'm really enjoying this build. I'd suggest aluminium composite paneling for the inside, just check the fire rating for whatever you use in there.

[@leolines6024]

When you tore out all the wood you basically took all of the light weight shear strength supporting the entire trailer. Now your adding tons of weight that your buggie will not be able to pull up the obstacles. You need to find another trailer and start over but do not take all the wood and insulation out. Even the bed and counter were adding shear support. When you go to salt lake for the off road expo go see a trailer manufacturer and talk to them.

[@marklar7551]

Get a DeWalt bi direction laser level. Your roof has a pitch, hence the inch difference. Pop your magnet laser up, putthe line where you want, measure your cut, and Bob's your uncle. 👽🗿👽🗿👽

[@ezraclements7472]

Go build pyramids

[@maxironpaw]

Maybe the sticker can have a Rat Fink-themed caricature of Mike and Sean driving their respective rigs. Time to channel Big Daddy.

[@Derf1313]

Nice progress, on all the projects! Over the decades I've used Styrofoam for insulation, but for small & odd shapes, I've offered low ball prices for the broken sheets at the lumber yards (once offered $15 for a couple of sheets worth, they agreed, but said I had to take ALL the broken sheets! Ended up with a large pile in my storage barn, lol! Took years to use it up...). Thanx !

[@dirtbillydeluxe]

That's an excellent idea!!!!

[@zigzagrambo]

Wood stove is good by the door because it will dry your boots and shit which you will leave by the door

[@Wesley-uo3rn]

Thx for the video. Keep up the great work. I'm sending my reservation for the off-road camper rental. 😂

[@brianrydzeski6108]

@Shawn My mind says Red for Rear wheel-shifter; green for the front wheel-shifter. You do you. As always, I enjoy your videos.

[@buddyrobinson3514]

I would sprayfoam the inside, adds rigidity and some strength too

[@bobross4237]

Spray in urethane foam insulation. It will tighten all rattles up and give you a really solid trailer. You can buy a do it yourself kit at lowes or HD. Looking good!

[@rsaldivar4218]

You don’t want the stove right next to a window or door… looking good! 👍🏼

[@jimfarris9671]

Thank you for sharing with us that was very interesting. I cannot wait to see it when it gets finished. You guys do a great job.

[@Gowherejeepsgo]

Awsome work mike with the camper cant wait to see it in the mtns, shawn cool idea with the shifters its alwasy sweet to see what personal things ppl customize there rigs with. Thanks for sharing

[@ezraclements7472]

Dude I built for a company that we built the assembly lines for Boeing jets we didn't 45 our ends we kept our square because it's easier and it's faster. We didn't build the jets just the tools they used to build them. From assembly lines down to desks.

[@twodogsyyc6729]

Amazing build buddy. Have you considered one if the small Diesel heaters? They've come a long way and work amazing. Low power low fuel consumption. I use 8kw one to heat a 27x9 trailer at -30C. I luv both of your guys ttail rigs. Shawn's buggy needs a name!!

[@petersgrayson]

Have a look at premium ropes splicing videos, they will teach you to splice anything to anything. Splicing UHMHMPE isn't hard, but their are couple rules to do it right. A fid is x21 rope diameter and you need to bury 3 fid lengths to have 100% strength. The last fid length of bitter end must be a gentle taper, UHMHMPE hates changing size (aka hard step from bitter end or the tail bury hanging out etc).

[@kirk467]

Another bed and frame will help support it as well! You can only do so much at a time my friend, I definitely understand that with the price of everything these days!

[@Bigdaddyslasher]

Looking good guys

[@kirk467]

I put an eight ball on the top of my walking cane! I don’t know about half of a cue ball because of the feel of it Shawn, the cut edges would be kinda uncomfortable to use as a shifter brother! Maybe put some lock-tite on the threads! Thanks for sharing Mike and Shawn! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👌🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@DirtyDiezel]

I think your logo should be your heads with huge mud tires underneath, kinda like you are the trucks lol easy to print shirts or stitch hats. Your heads could be like the drawings you get at the carnival with exaggerated facial features

[@dirtbillydeluxe]

I like it!

[@DirtyDiezel]

you guys have excellent smiles so it works well @@dirtbillydeluxe

[@Tanks-Link]

Yeah, when I did mine insulation board, I bought the inch and a quarter 4x8 by sheets at Home Depot. Wasn’t that expensive

[@lonnymossey525]

Hey bud you should look into using bathroom sheeting for walls, I don't remember what it's called but it's made of plastic of some sort and it's water proof, already finished face and they make edge strips and seam channel for install and it can be screwed on or glued 👍👍👍

[@HVACsuccess2007]

Mike, you are awesome. Keep up the good work. One day I will drive over to say hello.

[@kevbev1524]

Snow = recoveries 🎉❤ Stay safe

[@obroberts6533]

Mike, Shawn you guys are smokin it, taikuu for the class update on your projects..

[@TheOldaz1]

Certainly a different way to go about making a camper, but you do what you do and it works and that's what's important. If it lasts a few years and you get a heap of use/fun out of it, then well done.

[@adamdrake-brockman1889]

I hope you will insulate. You'll be very cold and will lose the heat from the fire really fast. Looking good though

[@craigbowley6783]

You could always make your own "tool boxes"

[@chiefvilla3167]

But Shana thought you was Navajo not Cherokee. The turtle shell.🤟🏽🤙🏽 🤜🏽💥🐢🤛🏽.

[@kirk467]

I like the idea about the cartoon buggy but the blazer should be hooked up on the off road camper Mike and Shawn! I’m not an artist but I think that would be really cool!

[@gz4896]

Im thinking that the places you ride and the supports you have in place would slowly tear the camper apart because of 3/4 square tubing ,your fine end to end and side to side but you should consider corner to corner supports to officially call it bullet proof ? I dont know just saying look how a wooden roof truss is built , love all your shows the whole gang

[@Kyle-ev4fk]

good stuff fellers

[@billkissler]

Hey guys love your show Love Rory and all the videos that you guys make Love dirt Billy deluxe just wanted you to know that I've rebuilt a few RVs of wood of course but what I found is that that hard board insulation doesn't allow the RV to breathe and condensation forms and rots out the wood paneling and anything else that's wood just wanted you to know before you made the same mistake I did I had to tear it all out and put bat insulation in it so there was still some air flow keep up the good work and God bless you

[@moretoliving2236]

Learning how to splice a rope or a winch line is an invaluable skill to have. I have never had to splice a winch line yet but I constantly splice rope to put loops or connect rope. Those vampire straw things with wire grabbers really help pushing and pulling in between strands and then it sits there and under tension it gets even stronger. I would also suggest wrapping the splice with electrical tape or shrink wrap or even hog rings or something but simple splice is good enough too.

[@Merv-Bob]

Off-Road Camper name: 'Imperial Star Transport'. Cheers, Mark

[@RichSaglin]

An idea for the hillbillies is having shawn in wile pulling the camper w/ mike up a mountain

[@GrizzlyPath]

Very cool Shawn, showing how to put an eye in. I stole one of my wife’s crochet needles to use to make eyes.

[@LarsDennert]

Cabinets are usually no more than 24 deep and upper 12 to keep your head from bonking. Foam board insulation is probably in 14 or 22 stud widths for less cutting. You might be able to slit it for curves. Luan maybe to cover.

[@1944chevytruck]

looking good!... Put Aluminum checker plate across front of your trailer to protect it...

[@yvonnedavis1622]

You need Luan for the walls super thin wood

[@Greedy-gaming]

10:24 facts very strong for the ❄️

[@not-fishing4730]

Another approach is to keep it simple. A tub for a sink, no plumbing, not a lot of fancy fixtures, wiring or whatnot. Long ago Sailors learned that fancy gadgets go bad and just use the basics for a better sail.

[@glennbayley5863]

Take them Wheeling some of the trails you go are spectacular.

[@littleoldlady1863]

Hi I am very happy you are back again I really love your show can you do more new show for all of us please thank you so much we will be waiting for you ok love Lorilee xoxoxoxox 😊😊😊😊😊

[@stephenpoe2037]

Good Combo Video ! You guys are always busy ! Thanks for sharing !

[@jeremynelson8496]

You guys have the craziest content ever. I love it!

[@randyengle7691]

Hey, remind us again about why you’d want/need to suck the front end down while wheeling? Camper is coming along fast now. Keep at it!

[@Mister510]

You suck the front down with the winch so there's no droop travel when climbing steep stuff. Doing so helps to keep the front tires on the rocks, and let's you climb much steeper obstacles without flipping over backwards.

[@donlum9128]

Good work guys. I'll be through Moab Wednesday. Planning on going to Off Road Expo. Glad to see the snow. Be safe

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Weld a bar across the front of each seat, that's dropped the thickness of the table, so it sets in solid. I think the framework has come out great. Thanks for the tutorial of reweaving the rope Shawn.

[@davebaker489]

I keep wondering if I should mention this but... You do know that aluminum and steel aren't compatible don't you ? A chemical reaction will occur as well as holes in the aluminum. Just say n. I used to haul gas tankers and we had to use a median material between the steel frame and the tanker rails. Many times simple duct tape would work to keep the 2 from touching. You likely already know this ...but just incase, I had to say something. Dave Nova Scotia.

[@dustymojave]

2 elements present in your rust belt area that are conducive to bimetallic corrosion which are not present in the Utah desert. Constant humidity and salt spray from the road. I live in the Mojave Desert of California and my offroad race buggy built in the 1970s has plenty of aluminum on steel that has no such corrosion. Floor panel, skidplates, firewall, front interior panel. Been there near 50 years. There are some minor spots where they've chafed and there is mild surface rust on the steel. No bimetallic corrosion.

[@jeffclark2725]

Yea,but this is the Mike and Shawn channel, everything works out for them

[@homerreeves7039]

I really don't think he's worried about such things lol

[@PapaBear143]

Pretty informative, thanks Mike & Shawn!

[@MichaelMaxim-ft5sv]

I didn't

[@alecfromminnenowhere2089]

You're winning... Could you use a spray foam for the interior? Seats are a must. If it's shitty outside people want to get in and sit in campers out of the weather.

[@sceneshopdemovideos2873]

Seeing you weld upwards on that tube without burning through just made me realize how thick that is. I’m starting to see what y’all were talking about with a second small moon. Have you considered 16ga tube? We use it in theatre a lot for moving scenery. It is about as strong as the 2x2 wood you took out (before it rotted) and fairly light. I wouldn’t make a roll cage from it but I’m assuming you aren’t planning to ride in the camper. It’s also fairly cheap being so thin.

[@steven.h0629]

27:58 passing it on .. She *was* doing fine 👍😎✊

[@mph6502]

Mike and Shawn Show kicking some butt getting stuff done! Awesome job guys!

[@willmorton6800]

It looks like the roof isn't flat, so one side may actually be lower than the other side for the cabinet.
