      great video. if you are curious about bicycle campers you should search for "Fahrradwohnwagen" (german translation for bicycle camper) or "Fahrradwohnwagen Treffen" ---bicycle camper meetup" you can find tons of videos of people building vlogging and doing meetups with bicycle campers.

    It was an excellent video, well done!!!!
    2 THINGS TO MENTION :
    1. I believe you can add two more smaller wheels in the front, so that it wont hit the road or anything and probably add a lot of stability.
    2. Prolly you'll gotta paint the exterior with wooden paint so that the creases don't show that much .
    KEEP UP THE NICE WORK HOSER 🤟

    You did an amazing job! I'd recommend some lightweight trim to act as a bit of bumper all the way around the trailer to prevent anymore little accidents from doing damage to the shell. I also recommend a small swiveling wheel or two on the front of the camper to keep it from dragging when you hit a bump.

    • @j.b.9581
      @j.b.9581 Год назад +3

      The small swivel wheel is a BRILLIANT idea. A swivel wheel would not only keep the front of the bike trailer off the ground, it would help during turns. @DavidRule, are you reading this??

    Few obvious alterations to make this better. 1 - the hitch needs to raise the front up. 2 - parking legs/chocks that allow for levelling to keep it from moving when it is being used. 3 - sealant around the inside (especially the front edge - you can see daylight). But its a great design and brilliant video. I even like the ad section 😂

    Entertaining though the camper isn’t leveled when riding, it’s clearly uneven when riding.

Other than that minor error which can be fixed, not too bad.

    The bear was my favorite part of the video. I'm like 7 videos in on my david rule binge and the bear was a nice wake me up. Love your content! 🤣🤗

    It needs a wheel on the front cos it's nearly dragging, it'd also mean it would be stable without the bike when you want to park it. Maybe get one of those big castors.

    About a decade ago I built myself a tiny one person caravan. The first few times I used it I woke up with a bad headache. I determined that there was not enough airflow and a buildup of CO2. A small 12V fan from an old computer power supply solved that problem. It also got rid of the condensation on the inside of the roof.

    here in Italy there are speed limitators on the ground that could break that beauty in a second, it was the only thing i could think watching you carring it around, since it was so low in the front
