Happy tip see your dream realized. Getting the family out of doors together is the real goal. You've succeeded in giving everyone some very nice memories. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like a pretty good set up...looking fwd to watching this build. I've been thinking about something like this for my little trailer. 🦌

[@mervinortiz5634]

Very nice !!

[@mikebravek3771]

Great camper and family fun. I got some good ideas from your video

[@curtesamoangelos5995]

Watching from Yosemite Kentucky. Looks like you all had a great vacation.

[@sylviaverrill6681]

Matt, Jon V. Here. I see you are out and about! Enjoy.

[@donaldfuller4625]

Very nice setup! We just returned home from a week in the UP. We rented an off-road teardrop. (5x8) We drive a Tacoma and loved how easy a small trailer pulls, and we loved not setting up a tent. Our favorite day was swimming at Miners beach. Lake Superior was super calm. Thanks for your videos!

[@LivingOurAmericanDream]

Awesome! Miners beach is very nice. A few years ago we were in the area and hiked to Elliot Falls (eastern end of the beach). The water was a bit rough and very cold when we were there. We are really starting to love the new camper. So much so that I potentially see another build in the future! Thanks for watching.

Brooklyn, Mi here. Love our state parks. Orchard Beach is one of our favs along with Straits just across the bridge.

[@ljaysperspective1775]

Looks like a great set up. Nicely done👍

[@hans2637]

I really enjoy watching all your videos of Camper build series, we have 3 kids as well 2 Boys an 1 Girl, and planning on building the same size camper just with a foldable rack on top for pop up tent for our kids, we live in Chihuahua Mexico, and we have many nice spots where we can camp, so your Videos really inspired me to do this, if I proceed to make 1 I’ll share with you guys, God bless you and your family,

[@LivingOurAmericanDream]

Fantastic! Good luck with your build and I look forward to seeing it!

[@markall8641]

Very nice! Have been watching your build/ camping videos for sometime. Live in Lansing, Michigan and we love the Harrisville State park! It’s our favorite park. Just got back from Beaverton, Mi. It’s a city park very small sites. We will be headed to Harrisville State park next month for our second and Last camping trip of the year. I would enjoy knowing more about your camper and have been debating building one myself. Thinking of a 5-5.5’ x 9-10’ in size with a kitchen in back. Will be just leaving on trailer and not removing it.

[@Mickey_McD]

Wow, great campsite on the lake! A great family outing.

[@vxphan2601]

Beautiful family. I love your camper. If I am going to build a camper then I will copy your excellent design. Thank you for sharing the knowledge

[@liviubutnaru9503]

Nice job❤

[@AnAmericanCouple]

You guys are a lot like us! ( we have a few years on you.) we have a micro micro teardrop, 475 lbs. loader. We pull it with our 1973 MG Midget. just subscribed. look forward to seeing you on the roadway of life. Glenn and Jane An American Couple.

[@LivingOurAmericanDream]

Thanks!

[@tomdunkle3407]

Looks real nice! Any idea what the weight of the camper unit would be?

[@LivingOurAmericanDream]

I’m guessing the pod is around 1500 making the setup on the trailer around 3000

[@arielsantos4916]

Vc poderia modificar essa tampa traseira fazer ela inteira abrindo pra cima já uns assim

[@davidmaslanka3145]

NICE JOB! I really like your idea and plan to try to replicate it with my utility trailer. Only question is...how much of a pain is it to climb over the side tail when getting in/out?

[@LivingOurAmericanDream]

For me it’s not bad at all. I am 6’1”. My wife uses a small stool and has no issues. She is 5’9”.

[@codeman99-dev]

6:33 & 8:32 You changed tents?

[@LivingOurAmericanDream]

We had two tents for that trip, one larger and one smaller, for the kids to stay in. We chose their tent size based on the size of the camp site we had and we didn’t really know until we got there. Good observation!

[@martinrios5401]

How do you fasten the box to the trailer ?

[@LivingOurAmericanDream]

There are cables built into the sub frame that wrap around the trailer frame and connect using turn buckles.

[@barbarawalker3620]

👍👍👍❤❤

[@joshbrown5938]

Have you had any issues with it leaking on you

[@LivingOurAmericanDream]

No issues so far.

[@seandyke4363]

Do you know the dry weight please?

[@LivingOurAmericanDream]

DIY Squaredrop Camper - What does it Weigh?? kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHKpq2Nmlrl-o9U

[@Hasan-uc7hc]

👍👍👍🌹

[@MrOppie93]

How many hours would you estimate it took you to build this

[@LivingOurAmericanDream]

I did not keep track of hours, but I worked a few hours a few days a week for a few months. Haha…I know that doesn’t answer you question, but the simplicity in this design could be built by anyone. Thanks.

[@SgtCude59]

You might need to learn that if you put to much weight on the back it want pull right

[@LivingOurAmericanDream]

Definitely true. I've since corrected that issue simply by placing the pod further to the front of the trailer. In my case, I have about 6 inches of leeway to work with on placement front to back and in the beginning I had it placed all the way to the rear. Coming forward 4 inches gave me a great balance of tongue weight. Thanks for watching!

[@MichaelSmith-os1pp]

OK disregard my question on the other video
