- After two years of testing, I finally did a review video for my camper. Don’t worry I didn’t get real in-depth it’s not every nut and bolt were talking about. Just the basic concept. If you want to stick around, at the end there’s a tutorial on how I put it together.
Wow. You shocked me with the pullout. Ingenious design.
sorry for your loss, This is just what I've been looking for! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you and you’re welcome.
Fantastic Build very unique yet simple design. She may be gone but she will always be with you and your son. You will feel her presence. Thank you for sharing.
Greetings:
Seen video on 5/20/20
Sorry for your lost 🙏
I too lost my wife of 53 years in 2018.
Stay busy. I'll be 99 in a couple days. Still drive and camp. From Los Angeles. Good day
PS: believe me, you will see her again!
Mr. Hahn thank you 🙏🏻
God bless
I am sorry for your loss. Sadly I totally understand. Great camper.
Neat, my dad had a homebuilt plywood camper on a 49 ford f1. He had a passage directly from the cab into the camper. We traveled around the U.S. and Mexico in it when I was little.
That’s an awesome memory thank you for sharing.
Wow. That must have been amazing
Coolest thing I’ve seen yet. Slide out camper. I love that idea. Made me write this it was such a cool idea. Lol. I seen it was small I said dam that’s small. Then he opens the tail gate and slides it out. That was cool as hell.
Edited part. Ok in hide sight I can’t figure for the life of me how to insulate that slide out feature. I would need some draw slides and those are like 1/2 inch each side. It would ultimately make the inside more narrow. Also unless the box that slides out is inside then you wouldn’t be able to have anything permanent in it.
Also if this is only for you, why the bunk bed? Your using up to much space for bedding. If you can sleep on top, bottom becomes desk or sofa facing wall with tv. Put a fridge in the corner next to the couch and throw a solar panel on top.
I really like ur camper. I love how it pulls out to be longer. Very cool idea.
Good prototype …next one will be better I’m sure. Keep at it my friend.
I just built me a cab over camper. It's all recycled stuff, mainly from a 50s park model . I love your simple yet useful and creative ideas. Can't wait to see your new build.
How did you happen on your parts...I have 2003 chevy silverado I want to put one on.
I've been milling over the idea of building a camper shell or camp trailer. I've worked with fiberglass and epoxy a fair amount and like that you'll be using it on your next build. The slide-out was a nice surprise as I am 6'-5" and have had complex imaginings on how to build expanding spaces using pull outs, swing outs, slide outs, pop ups, and stacking. Fun stuff!
If you use epoxy resin, cut rite wax paper is a must. J&J baby powder mixes with epoxy resin to make a good stitching/fairing compound (mix it to a peanut butter consistency). Use wax paper to work resin in tough spots by laying it and leaving it on the spot that needs attention, do what is needed through the wax paper, then let the epoxy set up before pulling off the wax paper. If adding more resin to the area where the wax paper was, wipe it with acetone and give a light sanding to clear any residue. Use cut-rite wax paper though. It's pretty cheap and the cheaper stuff is just frustrating.
Thanks for the tip 👍🏻
I'm sure glad that I found your video.... I've recently been wanting to build a slide in truck bed camper with the same design as yours... I've been browsing videos and have seen alot of different projects. But they all seem to drag on and on and go into crazy technical detail... I like the style and build of your camper. Simple, durable and to the point.... Love to see more.
Thank you so much.
KISS principle “Keep It Simple & Stupid.”
My condolences for your loss. Nice camper build.
I'd been thinking about that pull-out idea for an inside shower/bathroom space, and when I saw you pull that out, it was an immediate, "Yes!!"
That sounds like a great idea I might incorporate that on my next build.
Great prototype. Can’t wait for camper 2.0. My deepest condolences.
Great video. Thank you for sharing. Sorry for your loss.
That camper makes your truck look like a big red boot 👢
But if it works it ain't stupid,
Nice 👍
great job. probably the most space and wood efficient camper out there!
Thanks
When I built my teardrop I put masonite on the curved roof and covered that with aluminum. Nice video. Great info. Thanks.
Doris Keil-Shamieh I’m thinking I want to build a trailer next. It will have some type of lifting roof. So towing height will be equivalent to my truck. Set up height will be tall enough to stand in, no longer than 10’.
@@Cypheroutside We built a mega teardrop in 2018 which is built on a pop up camper chassis. Good luck with your new build!
Very sorry for your loss. Nice build, creative & complete. Travel safely, God bless.
Exellent build my friend..... Very usefull and practical. Thank you for sharing your camper build, big shout out to you from México.
Awesome design very good I really enjoyed your video and I really like what you did very good
Thanks
Well done and very creative
Thank you
I like the idea of the slide out.
First and foremost I am terribly sorry for your loss. Second, your camper is full of great ideas. I am designing a camper for my 6.5 foot bed F150. I hope you dont mind me borrowing your slide idea...
Thank you very much I share my ideas with the world so all can benefit so enjoy good luck with your build.
Awesome build. Like it fits in with tailgate closed and then slide out with tailgate open
Clever build mate, l like it very much, it’s a credit to you for it’s simplicity. Sorry for your loss. Life goes on and it is good that you and your son are carrying on with the camping bug and enjoying the great outdoors. I just discovered your channel and l also subscribed. I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos. I have a 1990 F150 4WD fitted with an aluminium tray. After watching your build on the slide on camper, l may just build something similar for my F150. I think your idea is absolutely brilliant, thanks for sharing. Brian from...Down Under. (Australia) 🇦🇺🦘👍😊
Thanks for the encouragement. I try to keep things to the KISS principle keep it simple & stupid.
You did think outside the box. Nice shelter for camping :)
I'm working on a pass a pass through channel from my pickup truck into my camper. So you could sleep with your feet sticking in the cabin and pick up some space you definitely need some sort of accordion connection between between your camper and the cab of your truck
Cool idea are you removing the back window or just dealing with the little slide?
@@Cypheroutside my truck is a 2003 four-cylinder Ford Ranger I'm going to make it a fabric accordion connection that I can glue to both glue and clamp onto the the pickup a also might use magnets to hold it on
Although I want to make one wider than the normal truck bed the one-eyed the other Ford Ranger has an inverted V like a A-Frame setup which should hold a lot of solar panels and be easy to insulate on the outside of the inverted V
Sorry for your loss. Nice camper.
Excellent job. Thank you
Awesome space saving camper!!! I have a smaller pickup, a Nissan frontier crew-cab with a 4.5 ft truck bed. so something like this ticks all the boxes i am looking for. would love to see more on this build in the future, and should you post your blueprints for it.
I’ll do my best to put pictures of my drawings but I’m not an engineer so blueprints are kind of tough.
Can’t wait to see camper 2.0!!!
Great vid man. This is a everyday guys build. I built my skoolie in a very similar manner.
pulls slide out over tailgate 🤯 ... nice build!
Good idea and nice job!
Well done, much respect! Have you thought of fastening some filing cabinet type roller glides to aid in pulling out your extension compartment? It would make for a nice smooth fluid pullout. I’m also curious to know what insulation and process you used to sandwich it between the inner/outer walls?
Great video!
Thanks for the tip. as far as the insulation used. I used great stuff. It comes in a can under pressure. I drilled a small quarter inch hole in the center of the iner-wall between my studs and begin filling. Make sure you tape up the ends of the walls so the foam doesn’t escape as it expands. then at the end you can poke a hole in the tape and fill the edge of the wall better. As for the ceiling. I had originally planned on putting paneling on the ceiling, however I never did. So I ended up using a roll of the silver bubble wrap. I just stapled into place, then put the tapestry up over it. I did this because being a wooden structure it needed a place to breathe especially near the joints as condensation became an issue. If you were going to do your own build make sure you put in plenty of vents. Thanks for watching have a great day.
Nice build!!
Good looking rig/happy trials
Awesome build. I'm sorry about your wife.
my teenager always asked for rides evrywhere, then i built my own truck cap and he hasnt asked for a ride since ... :)
That is kind of a draw back they don’t make you look cool.
@@Cypheroutside hahaha well i guess its in the eye of the beholder.. great vids mate and sorry bout your wife, i hope peace has found you and your son. good day sir
You don't need much to enjoy the great outdoors. My condolences on the passing of ur spouse.
I'm planning to do my own DIY truck camper, though with a different construction method. I was wondering why you decided to make the back a slide-out rather than just making the box a solid seven feet in length and just leave the tailgate down. Is there a state regulation at play there?
ZombieTex there are times I like to pull a trailer with a small boat on it. Not to mention the added maneuverability when I’m in the back country. Also my F150 with the extra cab has a tendency to keep its nose in the air and the extra 2 feet hanging off the back really causes that to happen. All reasons for the backslide. However if I did it again I would definitely build in a slide system or hinge rolling system just to make it a smoother transition.
ZombieTex there are times I hall a trailer and I like the additional maneuverability on the back roads.
Badass build!
I was thinking with my family at deer camp that tail gate might come up in the middle of the night lol
If the slide is out it’s impossible for the tailgate to close. I’ve got some crazy friends that would definitely try to lock me in if it could. 😁
Well done man
I enjoyed your video.
Vent was a bonus
Very nice ! 👍🏽
Kool Build👍🤙🤙
That's awsome .Very cool
cool camper man
nice job
Unusal camper. But great!
HOW ABOUT BOILING HOT WATER
Boiling hot water works and is the preferred method. However the means to create enough boiled water and two cover my boards is something I do not possess.
Love it!
Couldn't one use flexible 1/4 inch luan doubled up to form the bended portion?
Yes you could and if I did it again that what I would use.
U have some good ideas
mister z thank you
Great job!Can you please help me build one?I can pay good , Thanks, shan
美国农场美国留学,移民,投资 I am in Oregon I’m not sure where you are but I don’t believe one would ship very well.
👍👍👍👍👍
This love maroon
I like it
at first I said, that looks uncomfortable., then you pulled the back slide out
Lmao!
Todo está ahyno se que Pasadoh e 9 meses antes del coronavirus gracias
Well, i can tell I don't want to see this guys videos under 60 seconds. I've had just about enough of soft people walking around with guns to make them selves feel less afraid or worse. After jan 6th, I'm just had all I can stand of all of you.
Sorry you feel this way but, the area I was in has had several Mountain Lion attacks. I appreciate your position.
What’s with the gun , if your scared of your native animals stay at home in the city were you belong
Tweekers
Too basic
nice build. I love the NO over cab bed campers. Not many of them though.
I would like to do a build similar to this ir a Capri Cowboy. Make the top a hard top popup maybe. So your still getting aerodynamics when traveling. Like a Alaskan camper. But a model of the capri cowboy or rayzr FB camper.
I have also toyed with the idea of a hard side pop up. I couldn’t find the video to give you the link. there’s a guy who made the whole lid, lift like a hatchback and had hard walls that came up with it. I thought about doing something like that but I decided to build a teardrop instead.
