    I've seen a lot of builds, but honestly from top to bottom this is clearly one of the best. Well thought out design and the attention to detail is amazing. Very nice!

  • @agingwheels
    @agingwheels Před 6 lety +151

    One thing you did incredibly well is the design. The whole thing looks incredibly professional. Your material cost looks fairly high, but I suspect you had easy access to most of the supplies from the sign business. Excellent work overall. Much more pleasing to the eye than giant steel and wood contraption.

    @tanandadensmore Před 6 lety +1

    One of the best DIY campers I've seen.. I am shamelessly going to borrow ideas from yours to make my own.. I've got a Chevy Colorado with a 5'2" bed and this general idea is about 80% of what I think I'm going to do.

  • @dennisl1059
    @dennisl1059 Před rokem

    Building with the aluminum and 3m tape is genius! i used your idea to make a hardtop for a popup truck camper that lost it's top. it's still solid and water tight going on five years!

    What a great quality build! Before I moved into my camper van I started my life as a nomad in a micro camper that I pulled behind my Toyota Corolla and I loved it, but THIS is perfect! Great job!

    • @MC-hs4mf
      @MC-hs4mf Před 6 lety

      CoolCat Carolena any issues staying at rv parks?? I know a few years ago campers had to be a certain age or newer and they may even turn you away if it was an eye sore.

    • @coolcatcarolena4951
      @coolcatcarolena4951 Před 6 lety +1

      C. M. I always boondock and both my van and camper are well maintained (the van is a 1994, but the camper is only a few yrs old- you can see both rigs on my channel) In the past 4yrs I've only stayed at RV park twice and didn't have problems either time.

    This is an AMAZING setup.

  • @Linda-9037

    I brouse the Internet everyday for small portable living spaces...Your design is the most compact, comfortable, functional, attractive, well planned and accesssable I have seen after viewing thousands of ideas...I love it!! If you could make this affordable to the average person, find a way to put it on and remove it with one person capabiity and with good marketing, I believe millions of people would love to own it. I know you made it just for you....but many of us would buy one if you chose to create a business producing and selling these. I think so....

    • @davethesignguy4414
      @davethesignguy4414  Před 6 lety

    Nice quality build. We all have different needs and ideas, I am planning to remove the bed of a regular cab F-150 4x4 and custom build a fiberglass enclosure to the frame, then build a trailer of similar size. Mobility will be awesome and the room and privacy of two separate interiors will be very comfortable.
