One person bicycle camper

One person pop up bicycle camper.

[@ReefHeater]

this is BEAUTIFUL! imagine pulling this with a bicycle that has a small 4 stroke mounted in the frame! bicycle motor kits start at $200, they just bolt on, or you can build your own, with the right gear! Id like to make a similar set-up! maybe with a small heater or wood camp stove, i live in minnesota, haha! Thanks for the video!

[@damenwhelan3236]

What a wonderful design. Light weight and durable.

[@thefatman5647]

would really liked to have seen this camper being built. Great camper I'm getting a lot of ideas and you've given me the most

[@juellzzdrizzy]

Wow you are amazing! I love it! Finally a spacious stand up one. :)

[@senatorsantor9556]

Excellent,better than all bike campers

[@felixcat9318]

This is a real rarity, a travel cabin in which one can stand up straight! You have made a really nice job of this, the top being light enough to manually raise and the PVC pipes keeping it securely raised. I particularly liked the fixed worktop and sink with tap, and keeping the interior open for living or sleep mode was also a great touch as it maximises the space for whichever activity is taking place at any time. The ability to have a full strip wash and to use one's own toilet in privacy is important and your design allows for that. There are some community homeless shelters making full standing Coroplast travel cabins, but none are as well thought out as yours. Thank you for sharing your excellent design, and in doing so you have greatly added to the Make Your Own Gear (MYOG) knowledge base for a mobile travel cabin/bicycle camper. I would consider making one in three sections in order to make the towing module more compact, streamlined and less susceptible to cross winds. For camping in wind conditions I would remove the quick release wheels and sit the unit directly on the ground, which would hugely increase stability.

[@josephpenzella6690]

my wife is currently in the middle of actually making one of these for us to live off grid until an affordable stable home is opportune for us. we had slept on trains, and house hopped and plus my wife use to live in a single woman shelter that sucked, I had also made sacrifices twice #1 I went into the single men shelter after me finished doing some hard time in prison, #2 we moved to Yonkers Westchester NY i and I definitely refuse to go to/through any shelter proceeding process and being separated from my again after all we have gone through this two years we have been together I will do anything in this world for her and she knows it, that's why she loves me and won't stop doing what she's doing for me! I appreciate my wife for putting up with me through our homelessness and taking great care of me; one day my wife had brought this idea of her to my attention I have to admit that this is a great idea and now we are on the journey to transition to live in one of these bike campers and take back our independence again. I thank god for allowing her to be in my life, I never wanted or needed anything and now we won't be unsheltered or having to worry about being put out on the streets with no where to go.

[@buffyrobinson8075]

I Really Love this Design!!! And had Ideas of more that are similar and or a Take off from this design!!!! Do you design these for the Homeless??? That is the Market for these!!! ***If you can create a funding project through your community, people could donate for these to be built for the Homeless!!! Then,You just set up Shop and Build!!! I Love this One!!! Its one of my Favorite Videos on KZbin!!!😇Thankyou Allen!!!

[@grandmama536]

Super nice! Beautiful!

[@bcgord440]

Dude I love the slide up idea I've been looking up ideas for my own build for days first one I sawlike this

[@deividpuravida]

Es justo lo que había dibujado en planos pero con la puerta en un lateral y la cama diferente, estámuy buena la construcción, felicidades!

[@allenschwartz5344]

Derrick. It is held up with 4 posts made from PVC. Look at about the 19 second mark. I saw your camper. Nice job.

[@renavarges3852]

1 minute is just not enough time to tour everything offered in this camper. You absolutely MUST do another video with audio content please. I love the thought of being able to stand up inside and the amenities included.

[@perrochato9421]

Great idea , I have been looking forward to building something like that for myself . All it needs is a few aerodynamic changes and a little common sense knowledge of the gears on the ol' bike to make it a ride & not a fight . I can tell that it is pretty light also, about as heavy as towing a full shopping cart behind the bike. Keep up the good work.

[@ReefHeater]

Mun a hoo e num right on! some more aero dynamics would be great! i personally would pull it behind a 4stroke motorized bicycle or tricycle.. 100MPG $200 bucks for a kit or build..

[@georgejeckells388]

Great job Mr. Schwartz!I would like to know more on the lift system for the upper section. Do you have a video on it?

[@newnotification30]

Alan and linda are awesome

[@derrickbraden843]

I just made a bicycle caravan! I really like yours. I just uploaded a video. I love the coroplast! I was wondering how you held the top up. Is there a pulley system or lift?

[@TheGeorgenc40]

Excellent!

[@paulcanton9827]

You’re on to something there, but the build quality needs to be better. You have given a great idea though.

[@twistedsplinter2156]

Allen, This is pretty awesome, I am looking to try to build one that opens sideways, ie, so it can sleep two. How long did it take you to build this, how heavy is it?

[@woblobsterbeatboxer5124]

Ah the slide up is genius yes mate

[@laur-unstagenameactuallyca1587]

gosh this is so beautiful

[@ericluscombe3272]

you have to do the inside of trailer the funnest part putting shelves lights grab small wall mounted little wood stove stove etc

[@tdaggert]

that looks like coroplast with aluminium siding and pvc frame, am i right?

[@havkki417]

oh so wonderful

[@rogerblueearth7732]

Neat,I like that .G+

[@dltffemtb1978]

now thats a camper i want

[@josephplath8752]

This is exactly what I’m looking for, but can’t seem to find any like it for sale, but I’m afraid to build it and mess it up lol

[@justins.1283]

With the winds where I live that wouldn't be behind you for long but it is novel design.

[@im_moonmann]

Awsome I need one

[@jekekefe5923]

How do you attach the bike to the trailer ? Did you make that piece ?

[@chaliebest5507]

...need geocentrical wheel & ze hu" mechanism to ease towing that 1... lovely ,spacious....

[@christiansaravia7865]

This is awesome, is there a way to get utilities?

[@buck_shot4197]

epic !!! all you need is some power

[@allenschwartz5344]

Steel frame, plywood base and coroplast walls and roof.

[@DavidHakaClaus]

I've watched the videos of both of your bicycle campers, and would like more details. I'd be thrilled with plans if you have them.

[@atworkstation]

Awesome.

[@ReefHeater]

atworkstation imaging traveling with this, and a motorized bicycle! motor kits start at $200 or build your own, the whole set up would probably be around $500, and 100 miles per gallon!

[@coviongreene4123]

I am getting ready to build one for myself and my fiancé, I like the design structure and it is great. Right now I have four metal poles, and one whole bed spring including three light metal poles to start the foundation of our future bicycle camper trailer. It's hard to find currogatedcoroplast in NYC, so can I just stick with only plywood and light metal ? I want metal base for my flooring, I need some help before I mess up my project.

[@bartonknight2254]

Please tell me, how much did it weigh?

[@pinklickpony]

What is the last thing shown for, please? X

[@nathanmciver6496]

Man this is amazing! I really wish the local nasties would stop wasting our time! I have a beutiful girl that might like to know what life would be like when lived and not pestered by dumm polotics! We are trying to build a camper and are running into hassles of old with metal that is easy to get! I'm going to try another store tomorrow and hopfuly they will have some within thier inventory! Really anoying after dealing with all this for way to long! Lifes for the living and people who like to solve problems! Not useless metaling asses

[@johnsonmarquez5244]

How did you make this one?

[@_dah_unknown_artist_outt_d7583]

sup with sum blueprints? ur the only one on the net with diy pop up system....really cool.might i have a chance to build?

[@UFT1]

Can u do a video showing us how you made it including frame. Are u going to add insulation ? Will u show us how it lowers and a video peddling ignore on a windy day. Nice design. Would love to hook this up to ruckus motorscooter or moped or even my bicycle but the bicycle it seemed like it would be too heavy to pull up hill in the wind or even flat road in the wind.

[@ReefHeater]

Resources Are King !!! you,can put a motor on a bicycle easy

[@coviongreene4123]

I love it*

[@frankleonguerrero]

I too would like details to live in it while traveling. Any legalities on Dementions? I may need it as a homeless person. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Blessings

[@johndow9323]

i would like to know more about any issues of wind during riding and parking in public areas with in reason

[@ReefHeater]

John Dow same.. simple aero dynamics in the front could easily be added with more coloplast.. i doubt side winds are too bad, possible improvments in that area... i think parking might be hard, but maybe not bad..

[@ebbje567]

This looks so amazing😍😍What is it made of..wood??

[@felixcat9318]

The material is Coroplast, which is corrugated plastic sheeting. Coroplast is manufactured in various thicknesses, though most use the 4mm thick material to build campers. There are numerous videos on building such campers, but very few of them are designed with full standing height.

[@Strangernightg]

I wonder why you stopped making videos Alan . 8 year's ago was the last time that you uploaded a video and I wish you were still making videos because I needed to ask you something .

[@oldjohnboy1]

clever

[@pudge9837]

I see several disadvantages and advantages. It must be a terrible biking experience to bike against the wind. On the other hand, if the wind is at your back it acts as a sail and pushes you along. Terrible in the winter and great in the summer. You know you can have a bed in there without wasting the space of a bed. Solution: Hammock works inside and outside. You know you can have power for electrical stuff in there. Solution: Roll up Solar Panels on roof. Use two 6 volt battery's and flashlight bulbs for lights. Cooking : A good Freznal Lenz pointed at an iron plate you put your pot on will do the job for cooking/boiling/frying your food. Looks like you have enough room to pack a plastic chair and put Some gear in that shack. I suppose you will need a live bait trap to catch your food. Peanut butter works great and so does carrots. A good fishing pole with minimal tackle should help you for food and is fun too. For those long bike tours you can weld a pole on your bike and make a small wind sail that can be adjusted. FOR WATER just get one of those water bottles that filter pond water to drinkable water. The push down on kind. Fits neatly on your bike. BATHING: A good plastic pan and a washcloth with a bar of soap. WHERE TO GO: By law you can stay in parks but you have only 3 days and have to move to another location in the park or another park. Rest stops a couple of days by law. Wall marts let you stay for a week or more only if you are gone in the day time hours. A friends back yard. Some churches will let you stay for ONLY 1 day tucked away in the back and NOT on Events. Un marked land is only OK until you get kicked off of, may be a bit confronting issues. Learn to hide in the bush. Parking Lots depends on the owners discretion. Wildlife refuge area's has a 3 day limit by law only in designated area's. IN THE DESERT no one cares what you do or where you stay. Lots of unclaimed desert land to stay a long while residence. BY LAW squatters rights. The only one you can hurt is yourself. Ideal conditions for this kind of living is in the very south like Louisiana, Nevada, Texas, Florida, South Mississippi and parts of California. These area's are best for hunting animals bore pigs, alligators and carp that are considered a troublesome to the environment to name a few. You can hunt fish these things down there without a license and some with a license. Free food, if you can catch it.

[@ReefHeater]

pudge Hey i appreciate your input!! what do you think about a small tent-style wood stove for heat and cooking.., they are cheap and really small, made for hot tents/tipis, and come with chineys... i live in minnesota, and want to move to northern MN. as for aero dynamics.. the front end could easily be modified with more coloplast, to make a mlor aero dynamic nose... as for the bicycle... i am looking to use a motorized bicycle, with a 4 stroke engine... i may buy a kit online for $200-$400 but i will probably build a kit myself.. pretty simple... 100+MPG... no worries about fighting the weight or wind or hills... i would have good brakes though... beyond that, i love this design, parking is an issue, but you can go stealth with this pretty easy... in national forests, you can dispersed camp for 2 weeks in one spot, then legally you must move to another spot at least 1 mile away or something.. but often times, depending where you stay, no one tells you to move, and when they do, its no problem... i plan to go to superior national forest, for a few weeks. i would love to at least.. friends houses, walmart, etc, can probably go on a neighborhood street for 1 night... hey thanks for your earlier input and would like to brainstorm a bit more!

[@naronmccormick3244]

What's the total weight?

[@jerridmurphy3112]

Allen Schwartz can you please please send me the plans to make this. I would really appreciate it. It would help me out alot

[@pooddescrewch8718]

Wind ?

[@artes3d]

genial eres un duro en diseño esa es la idea que estoy desarrollando pero me falta algunos detalles que no son tan faciles es decir como tu diseño pero desarmable y que se vuelva a armar en 5 minutos que pueda desarmarlo y subir las partes a un apartamento de 3 piso y que sea de ese material pero unido con lamina plastica resistente apenas tenga el diseño comienzo a construirlo gracias

[@RogueReplicant]

Y tu quieres jalar tu camper con bicicleta o motocicleta? De que dimensiones al estar desarmado y desarmado? Me interesa tu proyecto pues pienso construir algo semejante.

[@RogueReplicant]

+RogueReplicant Armado/desarmado

[@philharris349]

Weight?

[@melindawilliams1529]

It looks higher later in the video than at the beginning. How's that? Creative

[@stuartcR]

Cool

[@opfipip3711]

In Germany you are not allowed more width than 1 meter.

[@Larry93215]

Must Be Heavy

[@UFT1]

Can u make the build plans downloadable to .pdf ? What Is the height of each of the 2 pieces ?

[@AnthonyRizzo2]

It looks like coroplast was used for the walls. PVC was used for the bones and aluminium was used for the base.

[@laniegonewild]

Is it heavy, what would lightest strongest materials be if rice were not an object?

[@ReefHeater]

Lanie Peterson honestly it is light... probably as heavy as a full bike trailer with load of groeries..

[@eliasvanloon5649]

what material did you use to create the camper?

[@ReefHeater]

Elias Van Loon steel trailer frame, plywood floor base, coloplast walls and roof, pvc pipe supports... imagine this setup being pulled behind a motorized bicycle!

[@stuffstuff2846]

That has got to be a bit h to peddle in the wind

[@justinbarney6286]

Your construction is superb, but on a social stand-point... 1.) I think I'd want something that isn't going to topple when making a sharp turn or at a gust of wind over 10 mph. 2.) When I pull over to go to bed, I want something that won't require me to carry a gun. 3.) When you take a dump, do it in a container that seals it's odor. Animals will pick up on it in a heartbeat. Or pop-a-squat at least 10 ft. from your dwelling and bury it at least 2 ft. deep. 4.) Beware of hills! ...going up AND coming down. 5.) Depending on where your riding, other passing motorists will share their extensive language skills, especially those pertaining to the use of profanity & vulgarities. Not-to-mention it will enhance their aim when it comes to empty and full beer bottles, as well as anything else they may have readily available. ...I-myself have had a motorist throw a 15" wrench at me and I wasn't traveling with something that made them think: "Oh look a broad-side of a barn".

[@saraysorme8194]

I bet that's a shed to move

[@walterjunior1992]

😎👍👊👏👏👏🙏

[@dustinetzwiler9572]

I want it how much is it

[@MR210035]

HOW MUCK DID IT COST O BUILD.

[@ReefHeater]

MEGA THICK cheap... maybe 200,bucks idk, not much more... no WAY it was over 500 .... Id assume around 200... maybe cheaper!!

[@amethystarcher2758]

Doesn't look stable but it is way more than what I can do

[@ThoughtCrimeCriminal]

Pretty cool but not very aerodynamic tho

[@StefanVerstappen]

Good luck biking into a 10mph head wind towing that parachute.

[@pudge9837]

+Stefan Verstappen Exactly.

[@ReefHeater]

put a small motor kit on,your bicycle....

[@Velobike]

Why cycle into a headwind when you can simply stop, make a cup of tea and relax. I think the point of these mini caravans is you can wait out the weather in comfort. What's the hurry after all? It ain't the Tour de France. :)

[@williambrown961]

Holy fucking game changer

[@ReefHeater]

William Brown exactly! imagine this pulled behind a motorized bicycle! i wanna made that set up and travel around!!

[@hernandezruby6912]

Does anyone know how much this would all cost.?

[@ReefHeater]

Ruby Hernandez my bet is around 200

[@ReefHeater]

Ruby Hernandez 500 tops

[@SANTORSOLAMARTIN]

jajjjjajaja , nice cx!!

[@vidalroman2213]

No no you got to set it a video

[@jimmysteep2813]

can you make me one

Jimmy Steep same, haha ill pay for it

[@anthonyspanos6161]

IMPRACTICAL KNAIVE SOLUTIONS FOR A MINUTE FRACTION OF PEOPLE WHO CAN BIKE AND CARRY A TRAILER AND LIVE IN A COUNTRY WHERE THEY CAN SHORTLY REACH AN ERA TO CAMP AND THIS IS OT PROHIBITED BY THE POLICE. IN ADDITION, THIS CONTRUPTION IS VERY VULNERABLE FOR THIVES AND MUGGERS

[@mayurdudhane3821]

Dont shit in camper van rest ol video is good...

[@scrappyfunk]

looks very heavy.. good luck going downhill..

[@ReefHeater]

Chuck Rogers its made put of pvc and the same material they make political yard signs, its very light weight, especially compared to using wood panels

[@jansveen]

That's why this guy made the trailer, and you are just sitting at home on your heavy arse with nothing but crap to write about something you can't comprehend

[@Natsumi666]

How can you move that with a bike.... no way, not even a motorcycle XDDD
