I appreciate it! I'm glad you like the content.

Yes, I've had a few people ask. However they're not super detailed, just laid out on graph paper, which might be enough..

Thank you!

I got them from etrailer, www.etrailer.com/Camper-Jacks/Brophy/CJ74.html

Haha, thanks!

Customer built around $6-7K. For diy: $1500ish.

Well…potentially. Send me an email through my channel!

Haha! Really? How come?!

Thanks!!

You bet!

Thanks a bunch!

I get that, mounted jacks would be nicer, but they can add time and weight too. This works for now, thanks for commenting!

ruclips.net/user/shortsicauU7fFqts?feature=share I'll need to get a better view with antenna.

There isn't. So far it's been fine, but I might add one on the next. There are also some small openings around the door and tailgate that can allow some air to pass.

Thanks!

Thanks! Here's one update. I planned to raise it by lifting the ceiling from inside with a support, then using 4 bolts on each corner to hold it. Or, usually I'll be with someone to lift from the outside. Unfortunately though, I lost interest in this build. Ultimately it's too small, and the gaps are more than I want to deal with. But if someone else wants to continue with the idea, more power to them!

Haha! I have an electric fly swatter that I use when we get inside for the night and close the door. There are small open cracks around the door and tailgate. You could add foam or something to seal it off. But it hasn't been a big challenge for me!

Thank you! Not exactly, but potentially!

It's just shy of four feet hanging outside, but the bed portion is the full 4 feet wide.

Haha! Thanks! I have another good implementation with the larger cabover design that I thought of to extend the bed space within the 4x8' sheets of plywood and still make it work. All about creative problem solving!

Thanks!

Thanks man! I appreciate!

Hey there! Thank you!!

I'll be excited to see the popup. I like that the unibody construction means a cabover bed could rest right on the roof of the cab and stretch the whole length keeping more of the tiny bed for living space. I also found that a load in the back of my hybrid maverick that included a crate 60" tall and 30" wide dropped my gas mileage from 37+ to 21 at 80mph so a popup instead of a standup should save lots of gas.​@ScottsMiniCampers

Yeah, of this camper it's a full width of a sheet of plywood, 4 feet!

@@ScottsMiniCampers thanks

Sure! Thanks, you bet! Yeah if you sleep up top, the whole bottom is completely open for storage or whatever you want!

Haha, good point!

Nice! I'll consider that! Overall I'm pretty pleased with the build and strength, thanks!

Glad you like it!

Thanks! I'll try to look into that more.

primer and exterior grade paint, a few coats. Also, exterior caulking for all the seams, knots, and gaps.

Thanks! I used primer and exterior grade paint, a few coats. Also, exterior caulking for all the seams, knots, and gaps.

Thanks! I have several build requests...but not enough time..

You bet! There's a few minor gaps due to curvature of the wood that create a few minor gaps between the truck bed top and bottom of the wood camper frame. For that, I just used truck shell seal. It's $7 on amazon and it's a nice roll of 1.5" wide foam to create a seal. Then clamping the camper down closes the gaps. I hope that helps! amzn.to/3XoQYB6

@@ScottsMiniCampers Exactly the answer!

Good question! It actually doesn't. The mirrors sit below the camper so I have a pretty good field of view behind me!

@@ScottsMiniCampers I watch all the videos you posted on this topper build and I was impressed with what you have done One more question did you use 1/2 or 3/4 inch plywood on this project. ?

@@georgemoorcroft6835 Thank you! I use 3/8" plywood for the majority of all my builds to be lightweight and strengthen it with split 2x3's.

Nice build! Congratulations! ..do you know the weight?

@@MarcRademacher Thanks! ruclips.net/video/A4Bixz-7pUM/видео.html

Well, thanks! I don't have one currently, but might be taking custom build requests. Send me an email!

Hey, let me tell you more. Watch my other videos. Last year, I built a very similar camper and took it 1200 miles round trip to Yellowstone and averaged 32 mpg on the whole trip! You can’t beat that! This one is only slightly larger! Also, that camper only weighed 180 pounds!

I think you have great ideas for a Maverick camper. I am using some of them to build my own. I have two 2023 Maverick,a hybrid and a AWD.

Your latest one is close to what I am building except mine will have the tub so will be free standing. Don't know if the sidewalls are sturdy enough. Plus I like to be able to use it in either one of my Maverick. Need to find a good solution for camper jacks using two jacks is not too stable. Likely go with three or four. Planning to go to Newfoundland this summer with the camper.

That’s awesome! I’m glad you like it! That’s cool, I’d like to see what you come up with! The sidewalls have been fine for me, on this new one I added a 2x3 for extra strength, I also increased the lower sheet of plywood the camper rests on from 3/8 to 1/2”. With those improvements, among several others, this new camper will be excellent! Also, you may have seen the tripod jacks I use. There designed for truck campers, I bought them new from etrailer for around $550. They have worked very well and I love them! Also, you probably already know, but be prepared for how much extra potential weight adding the base will be. My new camper I expect will weigh around 230 pounds, without a base. Anyways, that’s exciting and I hope it goes well for you!

That’s awesome!

Good idea - thanks!

You bet! This if my hobby and I really enjoy it! Yeah, I'm not a fan of that little curve, but I've gotten around it by increasing the height of the camper sides by about 1", so it lifts above that little curve.

Not on this camper, all the weight rests on the floor of the truck bed. Just on my recent topper campers do I clamp/rest the weight to the sides of the truck bed.

Cool! The length on this camper overhang was about 18" on the exterior with 12" going into the camper, for a 30" wide bed. However, I'm building another camper right now that has an exterior overhang of about 38-40" and 8-10" on the interior for a 2 person bed. I'm also using 3'4" plywood and extra support to handle it. Good luck with yours!
