Suggestions: 1. Windshield defroster/defogger to clear up the windows; 2. small windmill generator to take advantage of windy days to charge; 3. A mount outside your door to connect the thermostat to; 4. RainX wipe over the windows for better visibility in rain/show.

[@LadySaiaFA3]

the funny thing is, he does have a mount on the outside of his camper that he can attach things to, but he may have forgotten about it

[@zloki83]

You have plenty of upgrade options. 1. LED strip lights so you have full control over color and brightness. 2. Trailer hitch to add a mini trailer or storage platform. 3. Fold down tables on the inside or outside. 4. Mounted speakers. 5. Fenders over the wheels.

[@who6339]

Controllable ventilation as placed as high as possible #6 and the biggest one I think is insulation. #7 the temperature difference between the outside and inside are only a few degrees that's a no go. and some type of dehumidifier as the gas heater is the way to go for heat. VERY good podcast.

[@GonzyEVO]

You should add a back up camera just for the fun of it. You should also do a 3 day weekend camp to stress test the longevity of the battery. Food, warmth and entertainment all on the battery until it runs dry. Camp somewhere you could easily retrieve it with a trailer once the battery goes dry. That would be an interesting video.

[@saberalex12]

[@GMaker0507]

For the next upgrade, here are some cool ideas: A) maybe add air conditioning and insulation. B) additional pop out solar panels (maybe they're on a hinge connected to the side). C) GPS or internet

[@craftiebrown]

Was going to comment myself on A. Especially if there's a clear roof, some sort of active cooling will be an absolute must for any summer use.

[@user-bs4zl3gn6n]

Insulation for sure!

[@flyneagle8873]

Bougerv CIGS flexable Solar panels, in my opinion are the Best. Check those out they Rock. I'm using 3 panels, now.

[@SilvaDreams]

I'd also replace that soft plastic he used for the windows with some plexiglass. It's easy enough to get the bend done on top just by heating it gentle and it will self shape.

[@craftiebrown]

@@SilvaDreams Or he could use a rigid peak to hinge the 2 sides. That way they could be opened for ventilation. No bending + moisture control.

[@MBW4449]

You put the teabag in first and then deluge it with the hot water. The sudden blast of hot water gives a much better steep. It has to do with the oils in the tea leaves.

[@Ukiegaming]

I always wanted a friend like you to do all this fun stuff together, thanks for the this channel!!!

[@mikeanderson2730]

I absolutely love these videos! When i was a ten year old boy, my friend and i built a soapbox car (BMW) and had a mini caravan hooked up to it. The caravan was a wooden platform with two wheels and 4 2x2:s that we covered with thick plastic. It, of course was heavy, so we never took it far, but we stole food from moms kitchen and had a small alcohol stove that we cooked bologny and eggs on. Glorious times. This, is the adult version..

[@xprnstr]

I would love to see you build a bigger and lighter version (less wood, more foam). A version in which you can stand. Built in some of your appliances, have a kitchen, air in and outtake, built-in LED lights and heating, more solar panels and some isolation

[@Briellaxmichelle]

Your videos are my fav camping videos. It’s literally the only Instructional videos I can watch thru without skipping thru and seeing your camp trips are awesome! Please keep them coming 😂

[@radisabogdanovic]

300K let's goooo :) and the famous yellow tarp in the thumbnail too, great project as always!

[@QuietNerd]

:D Thank you!

[@madamegaymes]

Dude, you encompass the ultimate CS nerd turned builder. So many screws, no "traditional" joinery, etc. I fucking LOVE it. I live in a bus and did it mostly myself, same style. My electronics are super nice and clean, well thought out and all. Then all my woodwork comes from in-the-moment inspiration with as many fasteners thrown at it as I can to make up for my lack of structural knowledge, lmao. At some point in my life I'm gonna be making a similar vehicle inspired by all these vids, keep up the strange-yet-practical ideas!

[@Jlabs-official]

As someone who is currently developing a multifunctional utility vehicle, Suspension is a must for almost all offroad vehicles. I recommend full double wishbone suspension for the front and rear axles along with a steel frame which combined would allow for a high load capacity and for a wide variety of different terrains that you could cross. I understand that this is a thing that would be better for a second version of the mini cabin, but no mater what you do I love your videos and keep on trucking! 😃

[@richardjoyce1]

9:05 "This thing's pretty cool." Understatement of the year.

[@chrispowell3664]

Thanks for sharing your upgrade. A crank open roof vent would probably help with the trapped moisture when cooking. That could be your next camper upgrade.

[@aldo9923]

I really appreciate how you keep repairability in mind when adding stuff.

[@driiifter]

This thing is freaking awesome! I agree with all the comments saying to upgrade suspension. You never know how bad you need it until your tire/axle explodes and you get stranded, but overall no suspension puts a strain on everything structurally, like wires and bolts and stuff and frame later down the line.

[@Octopilion]

I'm happy to see the tires got fixed

A halogen lamp heater could be good, would only need it on a low setting in you're camper, it would also make a light aswell. Be no condensation or saftey/venting issues

[@rob052771]

I love that you find happiness in the simple things in life, always enjoy your videos!

[@grievingsage1899]

Super cool you got 1% back from solar charging despite it being somewhat underwhelming with respect to that 48v battery. It's a genius addition overall.

[@TheRealAnarchrox]

You're a damned clever chap and I'm loving your builds. Features I would suggest where possible: 1) Headlights just in case you have to get going quickly at night. I'm not sure what wildlife is in your region but if anything there is prone to attacking, it may be useful. 2) I lieu of suspension which would be a nightmare if a job, perhaps a seat with springs like bus and truck drivers have, that could absorb the shock of bumps while driving it. I will admit however I've not considered how this could be done without compromising space. I mention this because you're still young, protect your spine. 3) Polycarbonate instead of vinyl for the main windowed area for added critter security.

[@katchmeifyoucan1131]

[@AlmightyMaeve]

Might I suggest a mini handheld vacuum stored in the camper? So you can easily tidy up after messes (that cotton candy looked so good! I can just picture walking by in the woods seeing a guy in a camper making cotton candy 😅😮 I might be tempted to ask for a blue one 😅😂) . This camper just gets cooler and cooler!

[@theherrin9014]

I would build some large hinged shelves on the exterior to fit the large storage totes you have (maybe one on each side), so when you are setting up camp, you can put the totes on the exterior. I would keep them up parallel with the walls when in transit. You could have either a plug for the cord from the inverter or a pass through gland. It would give you more room inside and give you much better views. Additionally, I think a vent/fan on the roof with a weather guard would be a great addition. Cheers! I enjoy watching your content!

[@PRINCESSDREAMYLYN]

Something you may like to add is a shoe organizer to hang on the wall you can use it to put things in out of the way, i see people in vans use them, some put spices and food stuff dishes like cups and utensils in them and whatever you like. I seen you had some room on the walls they don't take up much space and could offer up more floor space for stretching out and lounging. Just thought I'd suggest it, I really love this camper build and shared it with my daughter. We love it, you're very creative Thank you for sharing♥

[@xitizbhatta6970]

A tiny suggestion from my perspective; next a suspension upgrade;❤️❤️

[@FoxTreeSky]

Suggestion: Add a hook on the outside of the door, the same one used for the solar panels. Then you can use a carabiner hook to hang the temperature receiver outside at all times and won't lose it again.
