Building My Favorite Camper Yet!

Experience the complete build of my latest, and largest, DIY camper. It's 6X10, sleeps four, has a shower and toilet and a new, experimental way of powering it with Ryobi 40 volt batteries (as well as shore power). Like my other builds, I didn't hold back when using alternative building techniques just to see if I can pull them off. It travels on a Harbor Freight 1720 lb trailer and can be easily unmounted if needed. It's also my first build that's tall enough to stand up in!

MATERIALS LIST BELOW

If you found this video after the release date, we have installed a 3500lb-rated axle and a set of Rainer radials. This helps the build be the safest possible on the road, although we didn't have any issues with the equipment used in the video. We simply upgraded when we could.

Stop criticizing yourself. You’re doing something that most folks would never attempt. I enjoy watching you build and figure things out. PS hello from a fellow WV’an!

I'm a certified RV tech I work mainly with airstream. But your attention to construction and detail is very good, the construction methods are better than most manufacturers sir .I've seen a lot of different types in my yrs of work. Keep up the good work...

As a carpenter for 40 years now it’s good to see younger folks working with wood and as a carpenter that tried videoing the making of one of my projects, my hat is doffed. Thank you for NOT using filler music in your videos. That YouTube hamster music drives me crazy. Cheers.

My family camped a lot in the 60's. My Dad finally bought a small trailer to keep my Mom from sleeping on the ground in a tent. I can imagine us being perfectly happy in this trailer. Wonderful work, Sir. I enjoyed watching all the way through.

The sped up "ahhhh" as he sits down at 13:15 is hilarious to me

Don't repaint - your trailer looks GREAT. Your love for your project really shows.

Wanna know what I thought at the end of the video while you were showing how it looks? "that looks like a place you'd make a lot of great memories with your family and friends in". First time I thought that after watching one of these, I think that says it all. Awesome work, sir.

Great job! I love your shower curtain rod! The exterior is grand! Love the wooden mountain look! Perfect! Your reading this from a lady that lived 18yrs in mobile homes..In 2 states. New York and last Ohio. Then a total of 5yrs living out of my 1991 Dodge Caravan. Finally I had enough money and better job to live indoors. So you can take my word.. Your a gifted gentlemen! Stay Humble. Ohio/Northeast 😊

As a retired carpenter. You get my seal of approval. 👍 You should do a video on the break down of cost .
