Truck Camper Build 7.0 VLOG - I’m Back!

[@JonnyDIY]

Welcome back, looks great. Cant believe you've kept it so light, but most the weight comes with finishings. You shouldn't ditch all your old videos, just put a disclaimer in the description box of the videos. I never took your videos as instructional, you're just sharing how you did something.

[@EndgameCampers]

Thanks Johnny for your feedback

[@michaelowens5529]

So very happy to see you

[@davidrhp847]

Welcome back. Looks Fantastic! 414 is pretty light.

[@terrykleier5068]

Glad to see you back. This looks great

[@Lonestartroy1]

Glad to see you back. Looking good. 😊

[@athormobileproductions4887]

glad to hear from you again dave

[@raynyhus2026]

Total boat fairing compound works the best and is a waterproof epoxy . It goes on like bondo, sands like bondo, but doesn't expand or contract. Nice build.

[@mgeiger72]

Your builds have been a steady evolution. This one is on another level in design and engineering. Awesome work.

[@EndgameCampers]

Thank you so much

[@dalevandenbussche5004]

I like the cedar siding better than the flat finish but they are both awesome!!

[@1tweneht]

Glad to see you back. Fantastic outside design! Love the angles.

[@davidpatrick1813]

Great to have the weight goal ... helps creativity. .. Nice work

[@jonathanchouinard582]

Oh man, i really like the curves/angles of this one. 6.0 was a little bit "firefly" looking to me (browncoat "serenity" reference) but this version looks aerodynamic but also simple. I love it. Ive been thinking more and more about copying your 4.0 design (non-cabover design) while incorporating some of these new enhancements. Keep up the great work!

[@EndgameCampers]

Thanks. I like it is shaping up too

[@michaelowens5529]

Man that looks stealth

[@denniscoughlin7437]

Wow what an awesome rig

[@MrTgrasshopper]

between Part 4 and this one do you have video? I would a lived to see how you framed that cab over.

[@ShawnRobinson-y9c]

This Camper awesome!!! Are there more build videos? Please upload. Thank you🎉🎉🎉

[@ronweenk]

I'm halfway thru my first build . From your watching your videos, im sure I've overbuilt mine . I'll make those adjustments and try different materials on the next one .

[@EndgameCampers]

Absolutely. Feel free to share pics if wouldn’t mind. I have an email link in my page bio

[@clint983]

Coming along really good Prep work is definitely tedious but worth it in the end.

[@flyovercounty1427]

Howdy - this one is looking good.

[@EndgameCampers]

Thanks

[@Brett_Cook]

Good useful info! I like your clean detailed style!

[@EndgameCampers]

Thanks

[@0HARE]

Very nice work, Dave. I like your focus on just a video diary rather than a “how-to”. I so admire your sense of aesthetics, and your detail oriented build-out. I could really use one of these, built on an 8’ truck bed, with an extended cab cab-over section. It would allow long range touring with a trailer towing a small car and motorcycle. Best of luck to you with the camper builds, and the channel. Good Vibrations

[@EndgameCampers]

Thanks Allen

[@jerrytalley802]

Dave, painted black, it would look like a stealth aircraft. Really nice unit

[@EndgameCampers]

Thanks

[@OOICU812]

Which would probably turn it into a heat sponge too. 😂

[@gemandjayclasing2848]

This is the best yet! Do you work from plans? If so, are the available? Thank you!

[@EndgameCampers]

I don’t have plans for sale. Sorry

[@scottspringer5211]

@@EndgameCampers You should put some together! You have a great design and could make some money and help more people get out building something and camping!

[@jerrytalley802]

Dave, Bondo used to make one for wood repair but seems it was the same color as the auto body type

[@chukobuko]

I am really interested in the build of this camper. Looks incredible and perplexing how it is so much lighter than production made campers. I just am having trouble finding the order to the videos related to 7.0. This one says I am back but I am not finding the videos before this. What is the best way to figure out the order of videos to follow the progression of how you pulled this all off? Again, I am really impressed how this is turning out.

[@mal.814]

I wonder how well leuion (not sure how it's spelled) The thin stuff they use under vinyl plank flooring would work. As long as it's waterproof and wind tight i think leuion would be a great option for cutting down the weight.

[@EndgameCampers]

Not a bad idea; however, that type of plywood is not as strong and is harder to keep straight (it tends to be wavy because it is meant to be bent).

[@mal.814]

@@EndgameCampers should have figured you probably already thought of that option. Was just curious. I plan on building something similar to your 7.0 design. Minus the cool angles I don't think I'm skilled enough to attempt those

[@danhynes2679]

Excellent video and build. How did you configure the multiple angles on the cabover portion?

[@jerrytalley802]

Dave, one person could live in one of these with your off grid setup. Love the design, light weight, foam insulation. Did you coat one of your others with Bedliner? Can’t remember, thanks

[@EndgameCampers]

Yes, 7.0. Thanks

[@danneydavis8010]

Can you go into more about how you keep the rain out . ( What you use )

[@EndgameCampers]

Check out my other vids on this build

[@jamesa9281]

What type of playwood do you use for the extior skin? Also what type of finish are you putting on in it? Also awesome build 🤙🏻

[@danielbuckflooring4477]

Hello sir, would you mind showing me how you made the AC cover and how its mounted and removes ?

[@EndgameCampers]

Sure, I’ll try to do a video today

[@tmgtrapmobgodz]

Mr. Dave. Question. What made you go with all wood studs? Why not metal studs? And why quarter outer walls? I've used metal 1" studs and 1/4 outer walls for 15 years for builds.....or I buy 16 grad metal sheets for outer walls depending on the buyer....saving 3 pounds....I really like your hard work and consistency. Keep up the great work. Definitely inspiring

[@EndgameCampers]

Wood is my medium and it has been good to me.

[@jerrytalley802]

Dave, I’ve watched all your builds, but can’t remember if you’ve shared about how many hours you have on average for one of these units? I know it’s different for this style vs the cedar ones that you’re more used to building, but just curious?

[@EndgameCampers]

About 400-500 hours.

[@jerrytalley802]

Thanks

[@debraroth4724]

Loooking very nice. Do you use 2x2 for framing? Some places look like plywood or 1x2.

[@EndgameCampers]

I laminate 5/8 thick cedar sections together

[@debraroth4724]

@@EndgameCampers do you have a website to purchase building plans?

[@davidpatrick1813]

I wonder if a light (ER) racing green

[@Justasified]

Can you share what paint/coating you used? I may have missed it... Just starting my build and I love your videos and am getting lots of good ideas!!

[@EndgameCampers]

Durabak 18 smooth… thanks!

[@Justasified]

Awesome, thanks! Is that color tan or orange?

[@EndgameCampers]

Tan

[@ironjohn36]

what type of plywood are you using? any fiberglassing or it s all polyurethane over wood?

[@dwightsilva5874]

Love how big cabover is. What happened to Instagram account?

[@nhmtnguy3802]

Good news

[@natureofthesupernatural8058]

Hey Dave awesome! The outside will be just paint? What you think on metal sheets over plywood?

[@EndgameCampers]

It’s a polyurethane based coating. I may have referred to it as paint, but it is a lot more durable. Metal sheets are not needed and would just add weight. Thanks for watching

[@marleneibarracapezza4894]

How much weight can the cab over hold?

[@EndgameCampers]

Two adults of average weight have been in that section without issue

[@mikeknowlden9617]

​@EndgameCampers I wish you explained the cantilever/weight issue. 2 adults is ( per the FAA LOL) approximately 450 lbs. Now extend that over the cab some 3ish ft and that's alot to over come structurally. How is that accomplished?

[@dalevandenbussche5004]

I’ve never seen if you ever give a total cost of your builds !! Of course not labor cost but initial cost of materials and components?

[@EndgameCampers]

I don’t really calculate that info. I know a lot of people want to know, but I don’t want to know how much I spent! Lol

[@marcclayborn8189]

Wow good Job new sub here I wonder how much would you will you sell this one for if you are going to sell?

[@EndgameCampers]

Thanks for the sub! Unfortunately, this one is not available to purchase.

[@warrenbenton9033]

Did you glue and screw the only on or glue and nail the ply on? Thanks.

[@EndgameCampers]

Glue and nail mostly

[@warrenbenton9033]

@@EndgameCampers Was there a reason you didnt use screws? or more you just had nails. I'm just trying to decide what I use on mine for best results. Thanks.

[@amadei2]

​@@warrenbenton9033Screw is not resistant to side-to-side movement/shearing. Nail is a better option, but more annoying in my opinion

[@ericjohnsen8358]

Are these available for purchase from you? If so, what is the average cost?

[@EndgameCampers]

They are not. I’m sorry. Thanks for watching

[@robertmacleod2286]

How will you get it out of the garage??

[@EndgameCampers]

It is light enough to slide. Check my later videos - it is now on the truck.

[@bkunneke]

You got away from cedar fence pickets?

[@EndgameCampers]

Just for this build. I made another camper like this once prior.
