I am homeless . I made a bicycle camper and had it stolen , along with everything except 2 sets of clothes . I am in need of another camper but , this time I want it to have a wagon assembly for easier towing . Not having tools or a place to build is a huge set back . I like the video ~ Alan
Thanks so much for this, I want to build a bike camper so badly but I want it to be lightweight and affordable I think this may be the perfect solution for me. Thank you
Planning to build a camper for my bike, I settled on pvc for low weight, which led m3 to your video for ideas. My design will be different than yours, and while you do have a good design, your one massive flaw was melting the pipe to flatten it. You took something that wasastrong shape, and made a huge breaking point. Long term, that won't last at all. Better to find another method that doesn't require deformity of the pipe. I chose to go with metal covers for outlets. I'll cut the Grove and use them to mount the wheels. The walls I plan to use Coloplast, with a little bit of plexiglass for the floor, for strength. My design is also a little bit more compact that yours, at 3ft wide an 7.5ft long. At this stage, that is subject to change however. Soon I will buy the pipes n build a test frame. If I lime what I see, I'll buy the plexiglass for the floor an the Coloplast for the walls. With the parts I've selected, it around be super lightweight, which is a requirement as I already have an easy 40lbs of gear.
I did think that flattering the pipe could cause structural weakness in future.... but glassing it should take care of it to strengthen it. I thought of a board (2×4, 2x6) across the frame and pipe clamped to tubes... then glassed... Would be good, perhaps stronger... idk for sure... Thank you for the pvc - glass idea for a frame.... best so far imho I refer to the all fiberglass stingrays 68 - 81 ??? The unibody fiberglass frame provides torsion and an internal flexible frame that has benefits...
The goal, due to the tropical climate I live in, was to use no wood or metal. The fiberglass and PVC has held up to several years of intense use so it is sound. A 2x4 would not have made it this long in this climate. Metal rusts quickly here as well.
@@DIYKauai interesting... thank you for your ideas.... great series... I've learned alot.... still dreaming I mostly watch your videos without volume..... where are you.? Meaning location..... I think of building a foam box and then glass inside and out.... Any ideas for a frame and attachment of wheels? I think of a solid axle.... ( I would also like to avoid wood metal.... unless I glass over the wood wheel mount) Thanks a bunch.... obviously you have so much info.... I will have to listen more... I guess I'm asking if you have suggestions for a 4" foam box... one piece contiguous frame and attaching wheels, possibly solid axle..... Oh... haha... from your channel... Hawaii haha.... Also... what do you think of a camper trailer with a thin garage for dismantled (wheels removed) bicycle..... AND ...the camper made to look like a DUMPSTER... Haha... for stealth.????? Whaddya think???
question for you how come you like doing things the hard way lol. I am a drywall boarder so when i see things like the way you are doing fiberglass why after puting sheets down theres a foot or 2 that gap in between that needs to be put in if yo put the first 2 down first the gap will be at the end so what eversover hanging you cut off way easier then cutting a shprt piece and having to mak sure both ends fit lol.
def a different way of doing it i was skeptical but after seeing it its pretty good. not sure how old this is but just wanting to know how its holding up. 1 other quick 1 why did you choose such big diameter pvc. I would think the black 1 and a 1\2" is stronger im thinking i'm going to go with the black 1.5" ill let you know how it turns out
The project is on hold while my son recovers from surgery. I built a bike trailer from PVC and learned that 2" schedule 40 was the best size. Good luck with your build!
@@DIYKauai thats how it always works eh right after you have done it sorry about your kid hope hes going to be good i look forward to seeing it built im going to fiberclass over that 2" or what ever foam.
Super excited to see this project. Your previous pvc bike trailer inspired my design. Check out my camper build on my channel. Will you be giving this to the same homeless guy as before?
epoxy is very expensive its bloody nuts i bought what I thought was 2 gallons off amazon cheapest i found was $125 and its not 2 gallons its 1 because epoxy is 1 gallon hardener is 1 gallon so its actually 1 gallon.

@@Moment-14 Interesting ideas, give them a try and let us know how they work out!

Sheetrock = cheap, fiberglass = expensive.

iam homeless since four years... and start planing building my own bicle camper... BUT FOR THIS HERE IAM TOO LATE:::
@@COACTUSFECI75 it's all about the materials that you have available where you are
I have a good design too, i can share it to you!

Heading there now! Not sure who will get this one... they have to be willing to go on RUclips and talk a little about it.

@@ericluscombe3272 I am using laminating resin so is a little cheaper.
To bad it's not legal to ride on any bike,or roadway! The universal width regulation is 36 inches wide!!!
