Fitting the POP UP ROOF on the Camper! // Building a Truck Camper Ep.14

[@Ollaris]

Hey everybody! Sorry for the delay, I had some technical difficulties yesterday uploading the video but everything is sorted now. Hope you enjoy it! Have a Great week!

[@rhiantaylor3446]

Thanks for sharing with us. Looking forward to seeing the solar panel install. I would be tempted to isolate the vehicle heater fan supply with two schottky diodes so that you can use it to circulate air when powered from your 12v leisure supply with the ignition otherwise turned off.

[@Ollaris]

The heater fan runs from factory from the leisure battery. I can turn it on any time, the gas furnace doesn’t need to run. But I’m planning to add a roofvent with a built in fan to move even more air.

Always great when a new camper vid comes out. Nice work!

[@Ollaris]

Thanks a lot Jonny!

[@mobilixone1575]

So relaxing to see things coming together. Nice music! A lot of planning we can only guess lies behind, good job!

[@Ollaris]

Thanks, Since the day I started building it this was one of my fears!

[@velocelt]

I'm constantly amazed/seriously-impressed with how you go and reverse engineer the various pieces of this camper build. It's just really fun to watch the way in which you create mini jigs for the various cuts, recreate specialized pieces, etc. Also cool to hear you're putting solar panels on top. Are the solar panels going to be the heavier type, or did you maybe look into or consider the lighter weight flat/flexible panels?

[@Ollaris]

Yes, some people say they are less efficient. I have to do some more research on it.

[@velocelt]

@@Ollaris - You should look into the thin, flexible panels. If you can mount them to a rigid panel, or make a lightweight aluminum frame for them (so they get good airflow around them), then they will be much lighter than the heavier, older style of panels, and in most cases they seem to be cheaper these days. They're also far more durable and less fragile than the older, heavier design of panels. Not sure which brands you might have available in your part of Europe, but one brand of panel is Sunpower and they seem to be getting a lot of use by people in the solar power bicycle community.

[@FishersShop]

Super cool! Love how that top folds up like that. Looking forward to your next one already!

[@Ollaris]

Cheers Drew!

It's really weird seeing another wood hero of KZbin comment on another favorite KZbinr. It's like, you're real or something.

[@FishersShop]

@@williammoore4101 I'm not real, I'm a bot. And by the way... I've been trying to reach you regarding your car's extended warranty..

[@Ollaris]

Thank you! You too!

[@Mr.Stacey-L-SCC]

Fantastic! Nice to see all the headroom you have in the new building.

[@Ollaris]

So much room for activities !😅

[@MrGeroth]

You are doing a excellent job on this camper. Thanks for sharing.

[@Ollaris]

Thank you Gerald!

[@sapelesteve]

Great work on that camper truck roof top Sebastian! However, next time you do a glue up like that you should really use a lot more clamps! 😉😉🤣🤣👍👍

[@Ollaris]

There are never enough clamps!

[@hadrianus2]

Hard work always pays off. Congrats!!

[@Ollaris]

Thanks you!

[@azlandpilotcar4450]

Even better with the audio fixed! Looking forward to the completed camper.

[@Ollaris]

Thanks again! Somehow the second half of the audio was missing after I uploaded the video.

[@TheStrangeAlchemist]

Its starting to look really good :)

Hoffentlich!

[@garagemonkeysan]

Great video. Awesome restoration. One step at a time. Mahalo for sharing! : )

[@Ollaris]

Thanks

[@PaulTaylor-hj7pl]

Are you going to do a article on fitting solar panel .That would be intresting having the pop up roof .

[@Ollaris]

Yes, that’s the plan so far.

[@PaulTaylor-hj7pl]

@@Ollaris I could see the wires from the roof to the charge controller could be a problem.I have a tisher 245 and ive been holding off fitting solar on roof for this reason. Will be intresting to see how you solve the problem.

[@therealemmpunkt]

Danke!

[@Ollaris]

Vielen Dank 🙏!

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Very nice job

[@Ollaris]

Thank you!

[@MichaelKieweg]

Interesting series. I like it lot. Will you show it off, when everything is finished? Maybe on a Maker Faire....

[@Ollaris]

Thanks a lot! Maybe in Germany next year!

[@bobpadilla4077]

I like your video. could show in more detail how you connected the sides folding down on the hinges. I want to cover my camper the same way. thanks. bob from fresno, calif

[@fabianhellwig]

Great and amazing job as always! How is the white roof part attached? Only by its weight? So that it don't flies away when driving or by wind. Thanks you for sharing your cool work, greetings from Chile!

[@euanmb]

amazing work 👍 but every video you make I think I don't have the time, space or skills to restore my own Tischer 232!

[@Ollaris]

It really is a BIG undertaking and a lot of time and money to rebuild one.

[@euanmb]

@@Ollaris I forgot about money!!!

[@paddrivers]

How will it be watertight?

[@Ollaris]

I will be showing that in detail when i have the aluminium roof siding on it. But basically there will be a rubber seal like on car doors that will be sealing the fiberglass pop top to the aluminum roof skin when the top is closed. So basically this would be double sealed.
