[@billmiller7138]

[@HKRXPRS]

You can visibly see the sag in the middle and slight buckling in the cladding; I suspect that's why the pop-out was binding. They're built to have the weight on the axels at all times and the entire structure is built around the chassis sagging either side of this. If you don't have the wheels supported, with added snow load you could actually do some very serious damage to all part of the structure inside and out. I build this sort of stuff for a living and see a few totalled by stuff like this every year.

[@Oilcruzer]

Also, leaving them out all the time is sketchy. The roofing needs to be carefully monitored and maintained. If these aren’t moving in and out, ever, perhaps a permanent exoskeleton and roof, out of… oh I dunno… steel maybe 😂

[@douggalt]

Great video Andrew. I would love to have a place like that. However, being a long time RV owner, you're in for a world of problems if you just leave it without a lot of work to protect it and seal it.

Got that right. Not to mention he probably broke the slide out. So much for his "luxury".

@@lonestar227 yes, prob a probably twisted or who knows what... but like he said, that's out forever.. he just set it and forget it.

[@williamdegnan4718]

23:00 Those Jacks are intended as stabilizers only. Level side to side at the wheels. Level front to back at the tongue. Stabilize at the corners. Do not take the weight off the wheels or you will bend the frame of the trailer. That's why the slide won't go out. Also do not externally support the slide outs. It will damage the mechanisms.

Also with the way the jack linkages work, they have nearly no force when they are barely extended. If they were extended more they would lift more.

Well, respect to Andrew for what he does but RV's aren't made robust enough for him I don't think. Using a jack-all to force the slides out, he's lucky he didn't put a hole through something. RV's are built light for a reason.

[@SteveP-vm1uc]

@ ANDREW: You mentioned the slide being out for life. If you really want this camper to last for many years to come without rotting into the ground, build a large carport over it so rain can never get to the roof or the roof of the slide outs... Rain and snow are the WORST POSSIBLE things to happen to all campers... The sliders are particularly vulnerable. Water getting to anything in these bassards are almost as big of a threat as is fire.. I live in Florida and see constant campers with completely fahked interiors due to roof leaks... Then the ants get going on their feast and you are left with a pile of very expensive crap.... Trust me, build a carport over it and make it big enough to cover about 4 feet beyond all sides.. My buddy had one for decades without any roof issues and it also gave the benefit of shade in the hot months. He said his electric bill dropped by almost 75%.. He also built one with plenty overhang on the front for a large porch..

Used to live in a 35 footer and if you don't seal the roof properly they leak and everything goes to shit, cause they are not built strong. after sealer, might want to consider building a permanent roof over the entire trailer to help protect the roof, also if your gonna keep the sliders out best to also put some blocks under them as well, to keep them more stabilized also.

[@tubefreek869]

This was awesome, as always. I know a couple ppl have said it already but your wheels being off the ground flexed the camper which pinched the slideout. Put some cribbing under the center to alleviate this. Also as mentioned camper roofs arent built to withstand crap, so shovel often or better yet build a roof over it like a carport then you'll never have to worry.

[@pjcd7016]

Get on the roof and re-chaulk all the seams with Dicor lap sealant, I've owned RV's for a couple of decades now and the best way to keep out water is to regularly check the roof and window seals, small water leaks are never detected until dry rot has set in. Have fun with your new rig!

As @Dale Adkins eluded to; 'snow proofing' & 'mice proofing' might be a priority. During the time you not there, the snow will be building up on those side outs and the mice will love their new home! When you are there you'll be busy fix'n mice damage, shoveling off the roof, and potential snow & water leak damage, chewing into valuable sledding time. With that said, your Ambition is Amazing! What an awesome spot and idea! Cheers Andrew! Thanks for sharing!

When the construction company i worked for years ago had to get office trailers up onto a mountain before a good road was built the had a tow bar that hooked to the back of 2 of the dozers and they would just pull the trailer up and set it- made it 99% easier

I’ve watched this young man from the first few months he started posting and I tell you he was born to be a CAT skinner. He can make it look easy with that D7.

Man that was hard work - I was straining in my chair with the effort of trying to help get up that hill lol. Andrew’s truck is a couple feet longer after that.

I love watching Andrew Camarata, he is persistent & consistent, which both qualities are what's needed to get the job done.

[@died4us590]

When you watch enough of these video's, you know that Andrew will get the job done. Someone will hate on this video without watching his video about every vehicle he has ever owned, which show's how far back he has been re engineering machinery, which was young. I love this channel.

[@Genesis23OPB]

its great to watch him build stuff but this was a bit dumb tbh. why not just build an adapter to hitch the trailer to the bulldozer? far less weight to tow and less things to go wrong. or am i missing something?

[@unchained20000000]

@@Genesis23OPB Andrew exposes garbage vehicles of the modern era. Vehicles were built durable in the past, when people wouldn't purchase garbage from factories. Now it's planned obsolescence. Planned obsolescence disposable garbage is what Andrew exposes.

[@Genesis23OPB]

@@unchained20000000 ever thought about that it was his own fault? you would never fix a chain to the winch the way he did, thats common sense. and planed obsolesence is correct in a way, but does not apply here when andrew made the choice by himself to needlessly hitch the pickup between trailer and bulldozer. especially when he obviously didnt need the pickup to place the camper, as he positioned it with the small digger.

[@nomad1ne]

I had butterflies 🦋🦋🦋 in my stomach watching you pull that truck and camper up the muddy mountain road. That guy trusted 🤝Andrew with his life🤯🙏... Wooooow.. Great video! In suspense until the end👍🏼✌

[@jacobclayson2372]

its videos like these that give me the upmost respect for Andrew :)

[@honkingdonk3981]

That's the closest I've seen to Andrew getting panicked. Great job with being so creative. It might have been easier to just build a log cabin out of the trees in the area.

[@stevewhyte8476]

pissed off !!

[@bostoncarpenter4317]

Or a hitch attachment for the bulldozer to pull it up

[@bostoncarpenter4317]

But that wouldn't make a great video lol

@@bostoncarpenter4317 That's what I was thinking too. But you're right there's not as much entertainment in doing it that way

You're such a complete human. Work hard, play hard. Everyone needs that balance in life, few actually achieve it.

[@FlatThunder]

Haha I never the bigger challenge would be that slide out! I think the jacks are meant just to be stabilizers not necessary lifting. Awesome setup! 👍

[@tomm2873]

looking forward to the repairing frame damage on a dodge pickup video. I would consider putting a roof over the trailer, they won't last as long with the snow load on them constantly

[@awelonstudio]

I'm no expert but wouldn't it have been easier (especially for the pickup) to connect camper to small bulldozer and use both to go up? Looking forward to next video fixing pickup.

[@tittyskillet3413]

I thought the same thing. One at a time, Andrew.

[@vastianocara1792]

Was thinking the exact same. A hour maybe two, jerry rig/weld a tow bar to the dozer and you're golden. But that would'nt have been fun to watch

[@animenut69]

Not sure if there's room but couldn't you just put a ball on the dozers hitch? Then chain /rope some old tires onto the blade if the pickup needs pushing

[@nathanscott7910]

Sometimes I wonder about that boy. Lol

[@pinecone01]

Yep... sitting here watching, wondering what possible point the pickup served here except being a middle man to get beat up.

Love your videos Andrew, you are the embodiment of doing what you can with what you have. HOWEVER, I notice a theme to you, when things start going south you blame the equipment or item. Your towing situation is because you're doing something that was never intended to be used in that manner, and you are taking it to an extreme! Do I agree that things should be engineered better absolutely but you gotta start using that big brain of yours, cause you have shown us you have it!!! Great video to start Monday off with!!! Loved your side by side one as well!!! Keep them coming!!

[@MAVORlC]

Love his videos but he really does put himself in some stupid situations that are completely avoidable We obviously all do stupid shit before we learn a lesson, unfortunately Andrews job often involves them being filmed
