Homemade Camper! A Rocketship Micro Camper!

#camper #camping #diycamper #homemadecamper
For the DIY camper builders and the homemade camper builders, here's a micro camper/tiny camper disguised as a rocketship! It has a bunch of new camper design ideas, from hundreds of blinking led lights in the fuselage to a 22-gallon pvc water tank. It's a new way of thinking about mini camper builds. I built it in 108 days over the summer of 2022. This video is a complete tour.

My daughter and I saw this on I-81 going North in Tennessee last week. I couldn't get a photo cause I was driving, but we had to look it up.

[@mikekrabal]

That's neat! Thanks for checking out the rocket!

[@torisloan8652]

This is one of the most unique DIY campers I’ve ever seen! I love the lights, and the way my jaw dropped at the water “tank” idea. I’m getting lots of inspiration from your videos!

[@mikekrabal]

Thanks for checking out the video! I'll be releasing a new video on Saturday, showing my latest build. I hope you'll check it out. Thanks again!

WOW... that's so cool TFS Be Blessed

A super exciting camper for kids even parked in the driveway

[@mikekrabal]

Thanks for having a look at the rocket!

[@sdnlawrence5640]

Cool. Kids would think that is fun. Want to sleep in it in the backyard.

Love the water tank

[@mikekrabal]

Thanks for checking out the video! I appreciate the support.

[@mattguam1903]

Yup! Great idea.

[@rebecca7766]

This is so creative and fun, with a very thoughtful design!

[@mikekrabal]

Thanks for checking out the rocket!

[@towerjunkie19]

Cool build. I love the nose cone. Any kid would love to sleep inside under the stars. I’m wondering if the stars in the nose cone light up also

[@mikekrabal]

The stars in the cone were just painted on. If I could do it again, I'd probably make them LEDs somehow.

[@ViKee010]

So creative. I love it!❤️ Great job!🏆🫡👏👏👏

Great job Mike! From the nose-cone storage to the round table base, I love it! And I'm sure it's aerodynamic... A starship 'hangar' over the galley and voila! My conversion camper has Solar750w Inverter for - 5K btu AC, TV, AM/FM - CD/DVD, & lights.

[@mikekrabal]

Thank you, sir. I'm grateful for your appreciation of the details. Sounds like you have a solid solar setup for all of your camping needs.

[@johnw65]

Thanks Mike, I subscribed back when I watched your camper build and heard about the wreck at work and your patch job... (The sliding hinges jogged my memory) The 4'x6' V-Nose is my bugout plan. Capable off grid and 3500 lb axle is solid! My 2009 Scion XD pulls the 1500 lbs and gets 28mpg with a tailwind...

[@mikekrabal]

That's some great gas mileage. It would be great to see a photo of that unit. You have a solid plan!

[@johnw65]

Mileage is a tribute to Toyota. Otherwise, the camper's a continuing work in progress. I'm adding to it often... I have many stills but have never uploaded anything to KZbin.

[@maryusa8526]

Just so adorable! 😊👍

[@mikekrabal]

Freaking awesome

[@renerene7510]

Rope to lower the door and hold on to when exiting and to lift / close it (like on airplanes)

[@mikekrabal]

Good idea! We ended up putting gas struts on it and made it a lift-up style door. Took a couple days of fabrication. Thanks for checking out the video!

[@Sol-Cutta]

Whats likelihood of getting legionaires from the water tank being that way or any design in general ???

[@mikekrabal]

Until you just mentioned it, I had never heard of legionaires. I hope there's a product out there to put in the tanks that would sanitize them.

[@ameliabaker424]

Can you show how it has held up after camping with it for some time?

[@mikekrabal]

I'd like to do one of those videos. I'd say it needs a few more trips under its belt yet. We took it to Kentucky (20 hours round trip). Did well. Thanks for watching!

[@365kps2]

Nice

[@mikekrabal]

Thanks for checking out the video!

[@johningardia2088]

It is very creative. Maybe a bit to small though.

[@mikekrabal]

Thanks for checking out the rocket!

[@garygerard4290]

too damm cool, I'll bet you had a hell of a tree house as a kid 😆

[@mikekrabal]

I hope you don't mind a long response. We sure did. About 13 years old, me and the other river rat, trailer park kids built a 3 story treehouse. We salvaged wood from the piles the floods left, asked around for material and used anything we could find. The first floor was about 8 feet off the ground. The second floor might have been 14 foot up and the third floor was about 20 feet up. We found a huge roll of steel cable and made two ziplines coming from the second floor. We used bicycle handlebars as a thing to hold onto. We cut a notch into the crossbar to slip over the cable, dipped the handlebar in some motor oil, and launched off the second floor holding the bars. So much fun. Today, there's just two boards left hanging from where the third floor used to be on that old maple. Thanks for checking out the video!

[@garygerard4290]

that sounded great! I had a tree house as a kid, a small half way up 'landing' about 8 feet off the ground that had a fireman's pole. Now days all kids do is play the video game - Build a Tree House 😆😆😆

[@mikekrabal]

A fireman's pole! That's excellent! Yes, kids. Go build a treehouse!
