homesteadonomics What is the name of that sheeting metal you used for the sides & roof of the camper? I don't have the same metal shop supple place here in Florida panhandle. If I find anything like it ...I'm sure it will probably fall under a different brand or name.

Watching this years later since you first posted and it never gets old! I miss your projects filmed in full because you just do a good job and have great ideas… anyways I really loved this, my Dad is nearly 70 and still plays hard by driving from KS to NM and anyways I had to watch this again because he’s looking for a cool teardrop trailer to stay in when on the road and I needed ideas. My personal favorite has been your workshop! I loved the first mitre station and then the cabinets you built! I don’t know why but I’m obsessed with storage and cabinets lol and how you built out this trailer is impressive even including a toilet and then much later when you built your pull out grill station!

Not bad for your 1st trailer build. Some tips from someone who was in the RV business for 20+ years. 1. If you are going to run water lines, gas lines, installing grey, sewage, and fresh water tanks, you will want to run those underneath your floor and then have them insulated, heated and self-contained (covered). A polyurethane bottom to enclose your plumbing will protect it from the elements, plus give you additional storage space. By placing your tanks above the floor removes a great deal of your living space. 2. Make sure you have room for your power converter, hot water heater, furnace inside the trailer. You can build those into your living areas. I would also consider framing for an air conditioner instead of a fan for the roof. You will be much more comfortable. 3. Make sure that you use windows that will allow you to have an additional escape in case of fire. If your door is blocked, you will still be able to get out. Good luck with your build, it looks great.

I bought a tiny 5' X 8' barely used carson enclosed trailer. I made it into a tiny off road camper with a couch bed...it was a fraction of the price of a moby 1. So one thing I forgot to do at the stage you left this video at is adding backing for a grab handlebar the door. And another thing, get a roof fan with a thermostat. You will love it... when it gets really chilly it will automatically turn off. Or if it's summer you can have it kick on above say, 90 degrees. So finally add a couple wall mounted marine fans, if you just need a breeze. Lots of led lights. Looking good!

Joe, I recommend fabricating some kind of plate and welding that to the tongue instead of welding that jack directly to the frame. In my experience, those A-frame tongue jacks get destroyed pretty easily, and for stupid reasons, and it will make sense to be able to just unbolt the old one and bolt on a new one.

I would think the bolt should go down from the top that way if the nut ever came loose bolt wouldn't fall out. Your commentary is always spot on and workmanship is fantastic. Really great work and I love the fact of involving the family. Thanks for sharing your talent and videos, Rodney

I'm curious to see how much it will weigh once it is finished, dont weld the jack, weld a plate and then bolt the jack to the plate. I had to replace a jack that was welded and it was a pain in the butt, I bolted the new jack in so it will be easier to replace if it breaks again. Use tubing to run all your electrical wiring in case you have to modify or replace it in the future.

I'm shooting for low 2k range in weight. It's not going to be a light trailer but I'll be happy if it ends up around the 2100-2250 range. as for the jack, yes I do like the idea of being able to replace the jack so I'm definitely leaning towards adding a piece of steel and bolting.... you and a couple others mentioned that and makes total sense :D

We used VHB to repair a friends camper roof. Tree had punched a hole in it. Cleaned down to bare aluminum, made a nice looking patch, used the tape then some camper seal caulk(stuff is way different than normal caulk) and it has lasted 5 years of MN weather so far. Hard to see the patch because his roof has that rubberized roof coating stuff on it and it got a whole new coat to keep other seams from leaking...

If you add rivets later, don't forget to put plastic top hat washers under them so you don't electrically connect the steel to the aluminium, or else you'll get galvanic corrosion. That's an advantage to that tape that you didn't mention.
@dorvinion
@dorvinion 6 жыл бұрын
As long as the surface prep was done correctly (which he did) the VHB tape should actually provide a stronger bond than rivets. It has the benefit of being more flexible than rivets and providing some protection against water intrusion along the seam.

thanks John! I am happy with it... just wish I had a couple weeks of the windy weather back and turned into more progress... hoping to have it ready by August ;) as for meetups, I've definitely thought about it. The issue is where/when,etc,.... the wife doesn't really want anything at home for obvious reasons. but perhaps maybe something at an IMS might be something I could look into... not sure, but I will think about it!

beautiful welding, I have done something similar. Construction was different. Nothing can compare with the satisfaction of seeing the end product build. It often went more about thinking 5 steps or more in advance before actually building. Somehow you always find something to improve or change.

thanks jannie! yes, thinking about the next few steps is actually the biggest part of this... thinking about how the current implementation will affect future things like cabinets, etc,.

Are you going to add leveling jackets? If so, will they be manual or electric?

Hi Darryl, Yes, I'll be adding some stabilizer jacks... manual most likely. I'm still deciding between some flip down jacks and aluminum A frame style ones. the flip down ones look really cool but the a frame ones seem more reliable... decisions decisions... LOL :)
