Replacing the Ceiling | Tiny Home Camper Renovation Ep. 3
In this episode of the tiny home camper renovation build, I'm taking apart the original ceiling of my trailer and replacing it with tongue and groove pine boards. I ran into a few issues along the way, but in the end I was able to get it done. Hopefully you enjoy this one. Later!

I'm digging your projects. FYI, with tongue/groove boards, nail through the tongue in at an angle. Then each subsequent board covers the nails. No nail holes 👍🙂

[@TheMagicDesign]

FANTASTIC idea!

[@Theslammedcruze]

To add to this. There are nailers that you can hit with a hammer and they will secure better than just pin nails

[@jesseray9197]

RV tech here, Try using a butt end connector instead of wire nuts, reason is wire nuts are designed for solid wires not stranded and will loosen over time, end connectors are crimped together so you have more of a solid connection.

[@CactusJane]

“Go live…..He’s probably gonna die now” 🤣🤣🤣. That moth was probably nice and warm in the ceiling LOL

[@DatCatface]

I really appreciated that step by step demonstration on how to install the light with the button! So easy and informative. Can't wait to see this finished trailer :)

[@AutisticMorty]

That oscillation tool looks really useful, thanks for the suggestion. Maybe you can make a video discussing the tools you suggest for someone starting in DIY tiny home building...? What's essential vs. what can wait, which brands do you suggest, etc.

[@ashleyb1091]

At some point I would love a tear drop camper. Something small. I would love to see you renovate one of those or buy a just a regular trailer and build a custom one. Your work is beautiful 👍🏽

[@tomjeffrey5875]

great video man i like how you are a single person team (i think) at the moment and still creating top quality builds and putting out top quality videos

[@Dualex_Builds]

Thank you! I am a one man army at the moment trying my best

[@caranich23]

@@Dualex_Builds Do you think you'll ever expand your business and build a team? Love the editing on this video BTW!

[@Dualex_Builds]

@@caranich23 not so sure about a team, but I do want to open a van conversion shop within the next 2 years

[@amityshatraw]

@@Dualex_Builds ya gotta give your cameraman a shout out tho, we saw a glimpse of him in the mirror in this episode... and isn't this his place where you are keeping your RV? Gotta break down and buy some gravel to put under that RV. For sure. It's the right thing to do!!

[@alexwarner2757]

@@Dualex_Builds I'd hit that....up for an opportunity to learn. cuz van life is goals on the west side, the struggle is too real.

[@treytonbuh4720]

Dude i’m loving these projects! I hope to get to the creativity level your at eventually! my first step is a bed frame with drawers. gonna follow your plan from the video you had a while back. Love waking up to new DualEx videos

[@zactivitiesonly]

yo bro timelapsing and keyframing with the 360 cam is golden!

[@joshualowery45]

Can't wait to see how it turns out! I've been watching you for about 8 months now and enjoy every video you put out. Keep up the amazing work bro!

[@mtcreations4218]

I'm always amazed at your renos. I love that you are so confident in your skills and abilities and just go for it when doing demo.

[@bo_arrow]

Next to this Guys dope artistry, he finds the best beats too!

[@jorohern7215]

Great job man, greetings from Mexico

[@janegrey8656]

Really appreciate your videos I just bought myself a Glendale golden falcon presidential series going to turn into a tiny home watching your videos

[@kylebuttineau8207]

I love the work you did, I had similar but went into a different direction. I noticed you used nail. I'd recommend little screws. Easier for taking down sections for any repairs needed, and they do sell a cover-up puddy to blend screws so u don't see them

[@DUribeRedel]

Dope camera effects bro, keep it up 🔥

[@jaquelinepaul7384]

I would like to actually see longer videos and more of you explaining what you’re doing as you go teaching me

[@OneWingDown]

You should put a horse troft as a tub/shower in the bathroom

[@shorty8947]

Dude you are amazing 👏 I am totally hooked on watching your work. You should have a hgtv show !!

[@ah92vi]

Looking to do a Transit Connect conversion soon and need some inspiration. You should make a video with one! Happy Holidays!

[@Dualex_Builds]

I’ve been thinking about doing a tiny van build for a while. Maybe after I finish this trailer I’ll do one 🤔 happy holidays thanks for watching

[@Southgate210]

You make it look so easy man! Great!

[@Tori_Sunshine]

Happy Holidays DualEx Family

[@rulodinepalalord5577]

Mistake with the fan solves with millimg cutter with bottom bearing. So u use frame as a template and milling cutter cuts the same form

[@WisconsinWanderer]

Gott git me a problem solver. Great videos my friend 😊

[@michaelballard17]

Although the multi tool IS amazing. I usually use a router cut that stuff like the fan hole put.

[@shawnfromportland]

looks great! those 360 shots are cool

[@angieclause7564]

Totally missing you latest updates. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and looking forward to your next vid

[@Dualex_Builds]

Happy Hollidays! I’m working on some new videos for this weekend

[@elizabethviator3677]

Love your video! I need to do this for my lil camper but I'm not sure I have enough skill. I certainly don't have all your awesome tools!

[@eduardonaranjo87]

I like your videos man, thanks I want to make a humble observation, I think you should work top first and then the bottom, you did a great job with the floor

[@nyc-brooklyngirl8340]

You did a really beautiful job. I love it. I'm a new subscriber. Please, Please 🙏 do a video on wiring lights inside an RV/camper. Like How to run wirings from your viewpoint. There are not that many videos in-depth on this.

[@jonathandehart4947]

I build custom truck bed camper for a living and we use trimming router bits to do stuff like cut for vents and stuff best tool in my opinion. Would love to send you pics of work I have done and get your opinion on them.

[@ronsincere]

I see you DualEx... Tune in.

[@redlion2473]

Always great videos🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@theodoreesawjr.8352]

Absolutely Fabulous!!!!!

[@belicevelasquez]

I love we are apart of this journey with you. Keep up the good work! 👍

[@ahhsick0]

Re-do a ROOF, new windows and re-panel on my inside walls.... I need to do mine 😅😌

[@jeffreyjacobs6072]

What about installing a reflective between the new ceiling and joists?

[@callummarc4049]

Love your content man, keep it up

[@Dualex_Builds]

Will do thank you!

[@lp9361]

You're mind is appreciated Dualex! I was hoping that you created another van build with a BATHROOM and SHOWER. I just know it would be genius and completely unheard of with your touch on it. *fingers crossed*

[@iamprovolone]

Ayyyeee the problem solver!!

[@zrinkamaiden8575]

awesome channel & dope tools! greetings from Croatia 👋🏻

[@bobbicatton]

Nice ceiling! What an improvement👍 I'm looking forward to seeing your furniture ideas for this one.

Excellent work, great videos. Love your enthusiasm.

[@RhondaLeeAcoustically]

Love the ceiling! Way to get that workout in too, guys! 😉

[@thetravellingpicker5096]

Nice quality craftsmanship. Well done!

[@Npc2thousand]

Dude the oscilator is the best! I did the same thing covering my vent. Wish i would have known about the locking planks at the time, but just went with plywood underlayment(cheap option) and moisture resistant primer for walls/ceiling.

[@est1981LA]

Bro, I like how you reppin 315lb on bench during the outro, esp after basically working shoulders all day doing the ceiling. Beast.

[@lauratibbles6598]

Great video demonstration I’m learning so much about what I can do to my own camper thank you Dual for sharing ❤️❤️🌈🌈🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@alleenthornton5225]

Love watching your videos, masterful renovations & buildings. But I wondered why you did the floor before the ceiling? Thanks!

[@fly_on_a_wall5829]

Watching you take the ceiling out without gloves at first was nerve wracking.

[@mariahm.7199]

I love your videos! Can you tell us cost and stuff total? So if we want to do something like this we have a round about idea of how much to save? (:

[@glorionemurray9901]

Great video. I have a question. Why didn't you replace the insulation?

[@beatdizzy]

Bottle openers were problem solvers in our house for a while...

[@gmommcmittens5707]

As OG "demolishHer" eye protectors and gloves, which are sometimes hard to work with, are vital, just saying.

[@jasongilman7270]

Nice job man. Is this another one to sell? We are 3/4 of the way done with our bus conversion and always looking for more storage ideas. Keep up the good work.

[@aareooon2964]

watching you drop an elbow on your ceiling just because you dont like it gives me hope for my camper

[@tWz4462]

Hey Dualex.. Eye protection.. please 👍

[@gregbowl2426]

First off, I like your videos, thumbs up. I'm just not into nailing against gravity on ceiling pieces, road vibration likes to shake it apart. Now, if this camper / tiny home is not intended to go over the road anymore, OK, I guess. Then there's the use of wire nuts. I hate wire nuts. Coming from the yacht world, wire nuts are a big no. At the least, properly crimped butt connections, solder & shrinkwrap, etc. Plus, that original wire looked sketchy. My "Land Yacht" got core utilities overhauled rhe same as my cruising sailboat. The standards are higher in the yacht world then the trailer / RV world. Finally, the "Bespoke" buying thing is kinda like unnecessary consumerism, I get it, it's a sponsor, but still...

[@dovydaskrampas6884]

Finally ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@grandma_d]

Good day, as always I’m enjoying your creative and informative builds. You bring back many memories of watching my Dad build dwellings, woof shops and home renovations for so many years. May I ask, is a Saws all the same thing as the reciprocating took you et al call the “ Fixer upper”?

[@mohamedzulkifly8966]

Its a yellow colour Nail Gun.... Damn! I thought it was some kind of laser gun from star wars movie😊

[@DatsAhVibe]

Found your channel today by accident so now that I’ve watched all your videos I moved on to someone else’s….. it was a double decker bus so I had high hopes… I’m now waiting to see if you can show them how it’s done 😭😭😭

[@samwilkins4569]

This vid is two weeks old bro...where you at!?

[@davidbaron6647]

Nice, I seen it was raining,, looks like no leaks on the camper?

[@NeilM1]

Another great vid. Have you considered putting a window in the front of the camper?

[@a1fromday158]

Ran into your Channel on the humble I think it’s cool what you’re doing we need more brother like yourself tbh. What state are you in so I can com book you for one of those completed vans?

[@paytonhamill3652]

You’ve done a couple of these builds, I’m tryna to get one and I was wondering if I can get a couple of tips?

[@dieselmonster]

What about vapor barrier?
