This Camper Could Be Yours!

[@Rags2Itches]

Congrats Mike on being able to build more than just the first one. A dream once is now a reality!!

[@mikekrabal]

Thanks for watching! It's been a fun ride so far!

[@thomasthompson2084]

Wow those are beautiful great work

[@kimm1780]

The green looks fantastic! I wish I had your skills! Great work!

[@mikekrabal]

Thanks for checking out the new campers!

[@cristag2468]

Agreed,the green is my favorite.

[@lorihowell5188]

These are beautiful ❤

[@brynnegrant3327]

once again, blown away. You have inspired me to build my own this summer. wish me luck!

[@VaultHunterRyRy]

Awesome job, Mike. Love the changes you've made since the prototype. Everything looks great!

[@mcwilliams5065]

Love this! So happy to see this becoming a multiple unit item. I wish you all the luck with the endeavor. Wish I was in a position to store and care for something like this.

[@jeremydunbar8985]

Great job! You should do an attached drop down brace for the air conditioner cover. Make a notch for it to go into on the trailer. That way its hidden when closed and you cant lose it

[@johnwagner800]

Mike, Congratulations, you've come a long way. Looks real good! Sincerely, John Wagner

[@t.c.3027]

Excellent!!, I'm waiting on the fairly longer one with 2 3500lbs carrying capacity! Keep moving forward Pro! I know there was some ultimate reason I subscribed to your channel! Thank a million for all that you do! 💯 🤗👍🏾 🙏🏾...

[@debbielewis6479]

Your campers are beautiful. My husband and I are too old to do a pull behind or much of anything else. 😁 You've certainly done your research and thought each thing through. Well done, sir. 🙂

[@mikekrabal]

Thank you, my friend. I appreciate you having a look at these new campers!

[@lauragosnell2481]

Incredible!

[@shireenbegum9166]

Wow you did the wheels outside version, thats awesome

[@jaymercha3859]

If you use longer inverter wire be sure to use a proper fuse or circuit breaker close to the battery source. Route the longer wire so it in safe place, where nails screw etc are unlikely to damage the wires. Maybe your company is the next Airstream in it's infancy. Love your builds.

[@SomeNameGoesHere]

I'm shocked that rocket camper video hasn't done well. I thought it was great to see a creative build.

[@mikekrabal]

You know, I am very surprised too. I thought it would do a lot better. Thanks for watching this new video!

[@m.gardner6173]

@@mikekrabal I think it didn’t do well due to it being an early video as well as its extreme design. Still way cool!

[@Kumar-i8s3r]

It's a great design and very creative, but it might only attract viewers with kids. The rocket camper doesn't match everyone's taste. The other designs give a cozy cabin in the woods vibe.

[@lomagibson664]

Awesomeness! Sure wish I could get one!! Love them!

[@mikekrabal]

Thanks for checking out the new video!

[@SydBat]

We think your campers are very reasonably priced for the amount of work you have put into them. Our favourite is the green one.

[@MiscMitz]

Awesome! I wonder what a heat pump weighs... Heating and cooling in one...

[@MiscMitz]

Short answer is, too much. There is some progress towards micro heat pumps, but nothing yet...

[@stellabrown7630]

Man I love it so far

[@mikekrabal]

Thanks for checking the new campers out!

[@JuanLuna-gl4ez]

[@movingkindaslow]

A like your campers, Mike, and I don’t think the price is unreasonable considering the amount of work you put into them. Just a couple of suggestions for your web site. You may want to add the weight of the camper, so people know what kind of tow vehicle they need. Also, your location would be useful. Just the State (assuming you’re in the USA) would help. Cheers!

[@mikekrabal]

Those are great tips for the website! Thank you. I am not so tech savvy when it comes the website stuff. I've been slowly working on it for about three weeks. The help is greatly appreciated! I'll update it now.

[@davidsmathers5621]

Nice campers

[@mikekrabal]

Thanks for checking out the new video!

[@theyframedme]

Diaclaimer: Where is the data plate? The vast majority of states in the US require data plates for trailers (the flat beds should have their own showing specs and load requirements) yet when you convert them to campers, an additional data plate is required illistrating dimensions and combined weight/load as well as what weight/load is available in regards to how much more weight the trailer (flatbed) can hold. Additional Data plates can be a sticker/plate/etc. that is placed on the trailer or camper conversion. In my state, you cant sell or buy a conversion camper/trailer without it having said data plate. Check with your local dmv or county regulators office to see if your state requires the same.

[@mikekrabal]

You are 100% correct on that plate. That is, if they were to be sold from a manufacturer. However, in this case, they will be sold under just me. Just a guy with two 'homebuilt' trailers in his garage. These aren't registered or titled under a company. They likely would've been if I could find an insurance company to offer me insurance. Nobody would, so I was forced to do it this way. I did look into those plates you mentioned and manufactures who 'alter' trailers, as I have here for example, do need those plates attached. I have also registered as an alterer, but the insurance companies still don't care. I was planning to do your way. Now, I'm just going to share with the owners the info they need regarding weights and such. How much to load and all that. I'll give them a printout or something. Here, in West Virginia, it's been very easy to register these types of campers. And I have sold two that went to Virginia and Maryland and they didn't have any problems getting registered. I wonder what state your in? Thanks for watching and for the helpful info!

😊❤👍👏👏👏👏👏👏great work! Bestcwishes from Germany🍀🍀🍀🍀💪😊☀️🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@mikekrabal]

It's great to hear from Germany! Thanks for watching!

[@MartinaBrigitteZimmer-Heil]

@mikekrabal Hi😊I would love to buy one, what a pity, that im in Germany. I think yours are the best! Go on with your super work, all the best🍀👏👏👏💪🕊💙🍀☀️👍😊

[@jaymercha3859]

We collect campers but now that we r retired we R not buying anymore. I would have been a buyer 20 years ago though. We love it.

[@m.gardner6173]

have you considered a window mount heat pump instead of just an AC? I would also recommend you look into including solar panels into the roof and base or upgraded unit.

[@mikekrabal]

I have not considered that yet. I will look at them and weigh their features. I don't know much about them, if I'm being honest. Thank you for bringing it to my awarness and thanks for watching.

[@m.gardner6173]

@@mikekrabal the window style heat pumps will be basically the same as your current unit but offer heating too at an additional cost naturally. Solar panels: well, would add about $100 per panel. Could be the less efficient thin “flexible” style for less weight and can glue down with stiff but flexible silicone. Or something similar. I believe you can get 300 watts of 12v up there. This would increase camping flexibility and value in your price point with little additional cost snd labor. In my opinion anyway ;)

[@mikekrabal]

I haven't heard of anyone installing solar that way, but if they are doing it like that these days, I'd entertain the idea. I really don't want to put any holes in the roof. Lots of folks have inquired about solar and I always feel like I'm letting them down when I tell them I won't put it on the roof yet. Good to know there's another way. Thank you for the additional help with the window heat pump, too.

[@m.gardner6173]

@ there are many videos about flexible solar installation on RV’s without holes now. I’m sure you can find some that include later video reviews on how it turned out. Just make sure it is serviceable in some way. Like cutting the silicone or sealant with a utility knife or something. (My advice, like always, is worth what you Paid for it. confirm it yourself 😂)

[@johnthomas3842]

How about a mini split, AC and Heat?

[@mikekrabal]

I think those are great, but they are huge for such a small camper. I am afraid I wouldn't know where to put it. But I do hope to try one in a future build if I ever build a larger camper. Thanks for watching!

[@TiemanJeni]

I didn't see the rocket build.. 😮

[@jaymercha3859]

The main reason your inverter should be close to your batteries, is because heavy Guage wiring is expensive. If you don't mind paying the copper cost, put it as far as you want. I'm an electrician by the way.

[@mikekrabal]

That's awesome to hear that from an electrician. I really went back and forth on it and would've gladly paid the extra for more wire. If one of the buyers wants it moved, I'll gladly do it for them. Thanks for the help and for watching, my friend!

[@carrie4080]

Love it, but why is the lithium battery outside instead of inside?

[@pinky1068]

Amazing work each one is better then the last one. Why do u say not good to live in even if its one person? Also do they all have that back door w/ storage and table I LOVE THAT TOO but u didnt mention it. TYVM GREAT WORK

[@Butchy-t6u]

Trying to win some lottery $$ so I can get one of your new better camper trailers , would be sooooooo neat !

[@user-zo4sh4pl8z]

That is fantastic work! I use an on demand tankless water heater. It works for me. Impressive craftsmanship!

[@sirnubenegra]

How come you don't insulate?

[@mikekrabal]

The floor, ceiling and walls have R-5 foam insulation in them. Thanks for watching!

[@jaymercha3859]

Cargo trailers are also un-insurable. I've made many calls trying to insure mine. If anyone knows where I can insure a cargo trailer please answer here.

[@Trinity1976]

I wish I knew how to do this. I'd never have to stress about living conditions again.

[@mikekrabal]

Thanks for checking out the new video! I hope you never have to stress about that again. I have been homeless, living in a car, twice, for months on end. It was not a good time in life.

[@Trinity1976]

@mikekrabal You are very talented and resourceful!!

[@citytrees1752]

What is your website????? Do we all have to sleuth it? It should be posted in your channel description, in the video description, as a pinned comment, as a stamp throughout your entire video. Buddy, I'm not watching through the whole video to see if you happen to have it in the video somewhere. Thumbs down for not bothering to put your website - where you make SALES - where people can easily find it. Makes me wonder what other obvious things you forgot.

[@mikekrabal]

I didn't forget. As it's just me building, and one build takes four months, I am not truly seeking sales that hard. It would be too overwhelming trying to keep up. I mainly built these so the subscribers can have an opportunity to own one. They have expressed that to me hundreds of times. They come first. You may disagree, but I purposely put the website name near the end so that folks who weren't truly interested would have clicked off by then. If I sell them, great. If I don't that's fine, too. They will be for rent for weekend camps. I'm not too concerned either way. There's no reason to be disrespectful. I'm trying to do a nice thing here.

[@debbielewis6479]

@mikekrabal I answered him with your website, but deleted my response after I saw your comment. I agree with you, there's no need for that person to be disrespectful. 🙂

[@mikekrabal]

Thanks, my friend. I likely wouldn't build that fella a camper anyway. He would be too tough to please haha. I may, however, put the website in the description. That still takes a bit of extra interest to find. I only want to build these for decent folks who truly want one and will take care of it.

[@brynnegrant3327]

Some people just like to get mad at nothing 😂 just got to laugh about it.
