DIY Bike Trailer Camping

My friends and I built a tiny camper that can be pulled by an e-bike and I took it out camping. The total build weighs approximately 160 pounds and I pulled it with an off the shelf 250 watt bike. Many improvements to come but this was a first test camping trip for it.

[@kinketsu9103]

I am thinking the space behind you when you were sitting down in the camping chair, the original mount point, that could be the "kitchen" or sink anyway and oven toaster. Then stick a little projector somewhere and have a pull down screen in the middle of where you tucked back the bed. So when you want to watch a movie, you sit comfy with your back to the sink and watch stuff while you eat / have a step two. The projector doesnt even need to be in front of the screen, most projectors can be set to rear projection, which means depending on the screen you could have the tiniest of shelves at the far end of the cabin near the frosted window and run it from there. You can get tiny projectors now these days, not all of them great but, I mean, for what you need it for. Glad to see you back man! This thing looks great

Steve use 1 1/2" rigid foam for the inside walls. That should flush up with the framing and then staple cloth onto the walls for a finish. Clean finish for the inside and very well insulated to boot. Edit: Put a small towel bar above your screen window and drape a towel as a blind. Towels have a myriad of uses in a camper. Also remember to distribute the load in the trailer equally, important in a lightweight trailer configuration

[@tommiekelly8680]

If you put a 2x4 cross tie between the studs, and add a 6 inch strip of masonite just above the tie, you have a narrow pantry shelf for catsup, syrup, spices... and maybe make one deep enough for canned goods? Cereal box? A slot for a frying pan? A wire grill for the camp fire? Ziplock bags with chips, rice, coffee?

[@phydeux]

A couple suggestions if you're open to them Steve. The "fifth-wheel" hole would be a great place to mount a small 12V ventilation fan. For the wiring I'd drill through the studs so that A) you don't have to wrap the wire around the stud, and B) they'll be held in place without extra hardware. A 3-4mm hole should be fine. And the "crusty hatch" would actually be a great spot to mount the Jackery behind. Then you'd have easy exterior access to power while protecting the Jackery from the elements. And you could hook the lights to it using a simple 12 adapter/controller module. For the window I'd recommend the vinyl wrap material they use on public transit buses over the windows. It has holes so you can see out, but they're small enough that people can't see in without being right up against the window. And no need for curtains getting in your way. A quick Amazon search turned up "VViViD" wrap sheets for $10-12USD. One would be more than enough. But I have to say I fell out laughing when I saw you pull a popcorn machine out. LAST thing I would have expected to see.

An iPad or whatever for movies with a magnetic mount someplace… maybe add a deepcycle battery(they just seem to last longer for solar and charging) with an inverter to store some energy for charging stuff and powering lights at night? Consider wiring for DC instead of AC like a boat does. Maritime parts can be found cheap for power options and less risky wiring. I think you have a fantastic start already, has a ton of potential. Looks like fun.

Just know Steve that all your subscribers, followers and viewers and I love you and care about you. Your videos are always such a delight to watch.

[@MyName-nx1jj]

Crazy Neighbor is smiling down from paradise😊

[@dannyvee111]

Yay a Steve Wallis video. Doesn't get better than this. It's ok Steve it's understandable why you haven't been uploading. It's just good to see you are still at it. You are always a joy to watch, whatever you come up with. This was another great one.

[@b_mo537]

I’m actually pretty excited for the content to come from this new trailer . Once you got inside my mind went wild with ideas. Your folding out bed would be a must on the opposite wall from the door. You could do something similar with a chair (tbh your fold out seems fine) . You’ll end up wanting something to hang clothes on to keep that in mind . Cooking is what I was really wondering about but that could all be done outside …unless we get some cold weather content at the end of the year 🤔 Steve I love ya man I’ve watched your stuff for years and your content helps me get to sleep most nights and I’m very thankful for that. You’ve also gotten me back into camping and the outdoors and I can’t thank you enough. Best of wishes man and be safe out there this year…gaaa I can taste that popcorn lol

[@AQUPAS]

When the king of stealth camping goes bicycle camping, with a homemade trailer, we are in for a treat! Thanks for uploading Steve!

[@Danvito13]

How can no one turn up for the evening, hotdogs and popcorn and best of all the company of Steve. Keep going Steve, my son and I love watching your videos.

[@notquiteultralight1701]

I just love the fact that Steve’s camplight isn’t a candle lantern or a kerosene lantern or a Coleman lantern…. but a popcorn maker light from a movie theater! 😃😃😃👍🏼 Awesome!!!

[@careystayton2663]

Awesome little camper welcome back missed but i dobunderstand aboutvthe break. As long as you back and having fun keep it coming steve big hugs take care and have fun!!😊❤

[@epicpandemic916]

His enthusiasm when he said " oh! That's perfect" when he sat on the chair in the camper made my day

[@darigger]

I am in a similar spot, Steve. Your perseverance is truly inspirational to me. Thank you for everything you do. I would watch you cook beans on your stove at home. You mean so much to so many. Sorry for your losses, but thank you for your courage.

[@thomasx1003]

Gotta love steve his positivity is so contagious. No matter how depressed or sad I am, his videos always relax and cheer me up. Keep up the good content, man.

[@BarryZuckercorn1212]

Thanks, Steve! Your videos are how I end my days on a relaxed, peaceful and very human note. Many thanks🙏🏼

[@campingwithsteve]

Thanks so much. 🍻

[@pragmaticplatypus]

Seems like every time I'm about to have an anxiety attack, Steve comes through with a video to calm me down and remind me I'll be ok. It's like he knows... We all love you so much Steve.

[@johnschuster1770]

You cracked me up when you started pulling out a popcorn popper and a hotdog warmer. Solar panels could fit on the roof. A 12-volt NiCad battery in the overhang space. Foam panels for insulation in the walls and ceiling. A small 12 v fan for air circulation on the ceiling corner.

[@sharonbraselton3135]

Or soar fan ventilation like biats yaght

[@michaeldowns5270]

Get one of those safety triangles to warn traffic of slow camper!

[@Kate.turtle.lady1]

I actually lost my dad a little over a year ago but one thing that he and I used to enjoy talking about where your videos. We both found your channel at different times. And it was kind of funny that neither of us knew that the other was watching these videos until probably a year and a half before he passed. So thank you you are awesome

[@robertgullickson8758]

I’d suggest just spray painting the frame inside. It’s a good place to mount stuff. Run your wires in the corners. They’ll tuck in nicely. I can’t imagine the wheel bearings lasting very long. You might need an upgrade someday Solar seems like a great addition for future use. And maybe a flashing strobe light in the back while traveling. That’s a nice project Steve. Can’t wait to see what’s next 😃

[@bAc0nBoY755]

Very good ideas, can't agree more!

[@QuintusAntonious]

He should also have a second exit. The back should probably fold down too for easier access, serving dual purpose.

[@MRWHOO99]

Steve your wife and Glenn are so proud of you carrying on with your life, not to mention a inspiration to the rest of us,we love your content but we love you as a person, can't say enough,stay strong, from Highlands County Florida, peace brother 😊

[@liamogle6287]

Steve, look into anything Cork for insulating the inside. That way it's decorative, and you don't need to cover it up with a panel and gives you more room inside.

[@sophies9274]

i can't comprehend what this man has grieved in the last two years or so and is still ongoing

[@thealkymyst]

Sometimes going forward is the grief process. Sometimes staying still is.

[@Classycanuck]

So happy to see a new video from Steve!

[@chrisaddottasmith9943]

The overhang part needs to be the “kitchen” space. There’s already a sink hole! It is perfectly sized. Can’t wait to watch it progress!

[@raymondduck6492]

And he could install a second vent right above it.

[@hellerhs]

Omg, what a cool little camper, great video Steve!

[@brendaerickson678]

You are correct. It is a beautiful contraption built by beautiful people to fulfill one wonderful man’s dream. So glad to have you back. Great video, Steve.

[@JameelMohamedOnGoogle]

This and a beer is a perfect way to end my Thursday. Thanks Steve!

[@opossumgrylls3275]

I had a vodka, but otherwise agree.

[@NEBE0]

The man, the myth, the legend! Steve is back!

[@exuberance3973]

That little space where the fifth wheel hole is, you could refit it with a little portable camping stove and a cutlery/condiment store. It’ll be out of the way and I think would be neat

[@ArdFarkable]

THAT'S SO FREAKIN COOL!!!!!! Imagine a bunch of buddies each with their own bike and trailer tent! It'd be like a mini portable no vehicle campground!

[@quirkygirlboss]

Right!! It's environmentally friendly too!

[@Maddie2u]

And no huge cost for gas....no carbon'ated air🙄

[@raycharles5245]

Don't give up Steve I pray you never give up your a very loved person and i speak for every viewer we appreciate you !

[@PhantomKangaroo91]

I look forward to the bike trailer saga. Seeing it years from now loaded with stickers. Lots of "buffed out" marks.

[@C0ZMICWIZARD]

Exactly my thoughts! 😂

[@harolddotson4756]

Steve Sir: Just a suggestion , the bicycle is fine I’m sure it’s great, but if you might want to upgrade a little bit, go with electric trike , it has a basket for extra batteries or supplies for as you travel and it can make a 5th wheel hookup and not hinder your travel. A couple solar panels on top of the hunker down charge controller to charge for the trike .

[@notgonnahappen7899]

Nothing brightens my day more than a new Steve video!!! Though I am then sadden by the thought that Crazy Neighbor is gone and he couldn't help with this project like we all knew he would have.
