Nice build. The only I would do real different, is make it so I can stand up in it. I'll be darned if I'm going to take on a project of this magnitude, and then not be able to walk upright inside of it. I'm only 5"7', and my wife is less. So 5'9" to 5'10", floor to ceiling would do for me.
I've been watching a lot of channels of people making teardrop designs I'm like why can't somebody just make a square one and then I found this channel perfect finally a square one I'm 61 years young I like it easy to make i don't need a teardrop.
I could be completely wrong, but my guess is teardrop build is more aerodynamic...basically, far less wind resistance, equaling more speed & better gas mileage?
@@Fuzzwankthebear for sure! likewise for a plain, square box...for casual users. but, when it comes to driving across the country, for instance, I'd have to disagree. 😉🙂
Not at all they make products with planned obsolescence so you have to spend more than it's worth to repair or to buy a new one.they know exactly what they are doing
I'm considering turning a aluminum trailer I bought from Lowe's to carry a golf cart behind my van.. into a square camper trailer. 5x10. But I'm going to build the sides at 6foot. I pull behind a van as well... that sometimes the spare room on a light trailer would be so very welcomed....
Just found your channel and I just bought a trailer this so inspiring thank you my brother ,video is such a vibe with the music ,have been wanting to build something just to get away much blessings from the east coast in the sticks shift life Garage
That's great! People think they need everything built in, like electric and sink etc. but I would just have battery lights and a couple jugs of water. And bring a generator for AC if it was hot and a buddy heater for heat. Cook outside.and a cooler for ice cold drinks .
Dude that is awesome! I’ve been looking at trailers because we’re planning on moving away from where I work so I want something I can camp out in during the week. I was actually looking at harbor freight trailers just the other day.
A box for the front of the trailer from harbor freight and one of their quiet generators to go inside the box and you're on your way! Great job, it looks good 👍
VERY NICE JOB, I have plans to do the same on my 5 x 10 with ramp. Will build it on 4x4 skids so I can winch it on and drag it off . I,m contemplatng using insulated garage door panels for sheeting, I like your design.
Nice.. The $ticker $hock for a commercial overland trailer has lead me to build my own. When ever I am done, (haven't started yet, lol) it may not be as pretty but I will have a pretty penny in the bank. Nice build my friend. Thanks for making this video.
@@theoriginaldashriprock In Alaska my brother watched a grizzly rip open a small cabin. But here in Arizona our Black bears seldom get even 250 pounds. However I did see one stand on his back feet and shake a tear drop camper up near Hannagan Meadow. He did not get in but the lady inside sure screamed loudly. These AZ bears are weak, lazy little SOB's and yes a foam and plywood trailer will most likely stop one.
I’d say it’s missing one good element on the outside which was the sheet metal which is about $250 a piece for a 4 x 8‘ in any color you want actually I wanted mine black. This is also a really good project to learn how to do waterproof flooring. This really helped me get a feel for how big these dimensions will be for me wanting a shower, squeezed into a toilet with a shower floor. I’m wanting to find out if I could do a metal frame on top instead of under this is coming from someone who is only done a DIY camera jib. But I also want an underline storage for plumbing, the solar panel set up, a diesel heater, and water supply. Not sure if I’m gonna be able to do that Drew bills RUclips channel toilet incinerator but you can put a keypad lock with a fancy fob like I saw on Amazon. I’m wanting to do foam insulation for mine. I also want to install my solar panel behind scratch proof glass on the roof. That would allow me to install my solar panel controller on the wall like an alarm system. I’m like should I use drywall and should I make everything waterproof? I’m going to coat the plywood and wood frame wall studs ceiling studs in waterproof solution. I even think I wanna install a sunroof for my go sun, pro solar cooker. You can find a solar power sink online somewhere that could pump water from a tank in the underline storage. I’m buying teardrop camper doors and windows so I can perform insulation as I install them. I might not use batteries and use a power generator instead. i’m about 5 foot six and 120 pounds so I don’t really need much to lay flat. not sure if I want a desk or anything on the walls at the moment. just that I’m part Thai and like to use my chopsticks and sit Indian star on the floor on my laptop or Bluetooth keyboard and trackpad connected to a flat screen USB powered device. I’m making mine the shape of this instead of like a teardrop camper because it just helps me not waste all of that square space for aerodynamics. I’m adding reflector insulation on top of the foam. And the windows might be teardrop camper size with the emergency exit hatches maybe. Then I want mirror to on my windows. And there are finally a lot of things you can do with electricity and a solar panel things like plasma lighter for fire starting. I just found underbelly waterproof flag tape to go between the sheet metal and the plywood that I’ll have glass waterproof coating on. Now I believe that what I’m picturing in my head is gonna be manufacturable if I can find out how those Tesla’s solar roofs can be made in a more compact version for campers and RV. My one last question about you using the entire 4 x 8 plywood is if this thing is haulable by a tricycle. something that just doesn’t tip over.
nice, simple and solid work, still for cargo and as camping trailer, exactly what I like. What I had done additionally: I would put rubber granulate stripes under the wood. Sooner or later will be there, so it is good, if the wood won`t have water contact too long. Thanks for your video, I really like it :)
Chris this is awesome bro. I plan on building one sometime in the future. I may have some questions along the way. Hope Youre still here to answer them.
By far my favorite build on RUclips. Quick and basic. The only thing that is making me second think my build is, a used 20ft pulled behind camper that needs a little TLC can be bought for close to the same price as a DIY build, plus it already has appliances, water, bathroom Etc.. really on the fence 🤔
I appreciate that!! That is a tough choice for sure, I wanted a camper like that but for me I was limited by my tow vehicle which is why I went this route.
Would you be willing to post the materials used and prints for the trailer online? This looks almost exactly like what I'm wanting to build (with some minor modifications). And, what's the total weight? (I"m assuming you've sold the trailer by now, which is why I'm asking about the designs)
I didn’t officially weigh it but I tried to keep track of the material being used. My best estimate is between 700-800 lbs. tongue weight was about 85 lbs.
When you do this, how high can you go? Like for example... going under bridge overpasses, they aren't all really tall... so is there like a certain height that you don't go above for the top? And I ask this because... the trailer can only be so wide and long, then the only way to save space is to try to go a little bit more height to make up for that, and turn that into shelf space or store space, etc? Thanks.
I think in my case, I could have went a little higher like to 5’ or 6’ but any higher I would need a wider trailer otherwise you’d be top heavy and could create a situation where the trailer could tip
Hey mate awesome build what’s the inside dimensions what’s the height ?I seen she is a 4x8 base just curious on the height and how is it holding up couple years later the wood is all still solid ?
I actually used Rustoleum Rocksolid 6x deck paint. It completely seals and waterproofs. It makes a super rigid surface. The first coat went on really thick and the wood completely absorbed it, then I added a couple more coats for added waterproofing
How does it pull? Does the square front offer up much wind resistance? How does pulling it effect your gas mileage? I'm curious because I am building almost exactly this design and I'm second guessing whether or not to round off the front any.
I went back and forth on rounding the front too. It does pull fine. I didn’t really notice a big drag with the flat front. Rounding the front or doing a v nose might give a bit more space inside. I just went as simple as i could.
Like the build, maybe I'll get a "Round Tuit", and build one myself! Silly question though, no criticism, just curious, Why does everyone put the door on the side? I'm thinking a door in the rear(like the ASCAPE trailers) would be better....my opinion only....
Great design but it's leak city. Don't travel or leave it out in the rain. If you used vinyl siding over tyvek- then wood, it would be 100x better. Also making a curved nose instead of a flat one ,would make it aerodynamic.
I was welding the joints to reinforce the frame. That’s the only change I made to the frame. Everything was still bolted together but welded at those joints.
I’m homeless, living In my car. This would be a Godsend. A roof over my head, a place to actually lay down and get a proper nights sleep… I work, I have a job, just trying to come up with first, last, security for a place, plus utilities deposits, ect, ect, ect…
I used some really inexpensive galvanized steel roof flashing. Works great, a little flimsy but with the right screws, it held strong. I used lathe screws. The doors are tricky. That was one of the last things I built because I didn’t know how to approach it. However, I used 1x4 as the frame, plywood for the outside, 1/8” whiteboard for the inside and used wood glue and wood screws to hold it all together. I also insulated the door with 1/2” foam board.
This may be an opportunity for you to help those who have recently lost everything. A roof over their heads. Great work! I would love ❤️ to buy one from you, only I am one of those who live with family because of a disability. God bless you 🙏 ❤️
Great video, thanks!! How or what mods did you do to the HF trailer? what mph is safe with the HF? i am about to buy one to custom build just like yours only i must go 6ft in height :)
Thanks!! All I did to the frame was have the joints welded. I don’t recall the mph but they are dot compliant tires. So I’d assume that means you are good for freeway speeds up to 65. But I don’t recall the actual number.

Use wing nuts and make the box removable just incase you need to use the trailer for anything or for maintenance ease.

I love the simplicity I am getting older and just need a sleeping box with ac and a bed more comfortable than sleeping in a tent on the ground.
Facts
I'm going to hire this guy to build my camp trailer, Look how fast he works!
Excellent !
I also built mine at 4'x4'x8' rectangular.
I wasn't worried about aerodynamics either because I pull it behind a van anyway

Nice for a weekend trip. I like the simplicity. It actually has all kinds of accessories. Like a little bag awning or something. Well done.
I love the bolt lock on the door, but the hinge screws are on the outside. And the smoke detector kinda made me chuckle.
Same thought I had. I wondered why he didn't just put a thin strip of wood to at least hide it to make it look a little less obvious.

Badass only thing I would change is the hinge for the door has all the screws exposed I can unscrew them and go right in
Good point lol. I had plans to cover them with trim but that’s a valid point - things to remember on the next one

Lol blueprints? Its just a fucking piece of shit box on a shit trailer
Great Job and great video! What size trailer was it?
4x8
Can probably fit a fouton in the space. If you add more space around the wheel you can add a counter and more space. Probably only 12 inch tho.
That camper is $40,000 at a RV dealer. Great job!!
How did the paint an wood hold up? As far as pealing an the wood cracking
Great build! I’m doing a pop up camper converted to a hard side salon on my channel.
Thank u. this was fun to see.
Nice job 👍 😎
Why don’t you add a slight pitch to the roof so it’s about 5 feet in total Height?

Awesome job. I’m in the process of building one myself. What brand/type or rubber paint do you use for the roof? Thank you
I believe it was rustoleum rocksolid deck coat that was the 6x thickness. It creates a waterproof barrier.
Ok I will look into that. Thank you very much and stay safe
Why not aerodynamic to help with pulling?
How well does it tow nice clean build
hey buddy, thanks for the video . any chance you can share the blueprint and total material list ?
I did make another video with explanations and materials. I don’t have blueprints unfortunately..
That’s sweet! Do you have build detail?❤
Hey mate awesome build what’s the inside dimensions what’s the height ?I seen she is a 4x8 base just curious on the height and how is it holding up couple years later the wood is all still solid ?
😅Wouldn't you just love having this guy for a neighbor?
What kind of screws do you use , the type and size, I have a 4x8 hf, and I need to do an enclosed cargo trailer im in orem located thanks 🙂
I used structural screws for framing. I also used structural bolts to hold the wood to the metal frame. I think it was 3” screws. And 4.5” bolts.
Using those screws did you have any edge or end splitting? Did you counter sink and/or predrill for the screws?
About how much does it weight just curious. I like the design. Thinking about doing it on a northern tools 5x8
Almost exactly like mine.
Nice work🔥🔥🔥What type of weather seal paint did you use for the roof?
I actually used Rustoleum Rocksolid 6x deck paint. It completely seals and waterproofs. It makes a super rigid surface. The first coat went on really thick and the wood completely absorbed it, then I added a couple more coats for added waterproofing

I thought about adding a rear access door as well- having two might be better in the long run.
Could you send me a list of the materials you used?
Custom SquareTop 🤟
Great design but it's leak city. Don't travel or leave it out in the rain. If you used vinyl siding over tyvek- then wood, it would be 100x better. Also making a curved nose instead of a flat one ,would make it aerodynamic.
Sharp! How much does it weigh?
Roughly 750-850lbs
@@rudysquest pretty light. Cool, thank you
This dude works fast !!!! 🙀
He must not be paid by the hour🤷♂️
Can you comfortably take that going 60mph pulse?
What are the measurements of the door and window and where did you get them from?
1 window is 24x36 and the other is 24x24. I had to custom make the door. I think it was something like 36 tall by 24 or 26 wide.
Really nice, but with no undercoating, the bottom is going to rot out. Unless of course you never drive it on wet roads.

does the 1200$ include the trailer also?
beautiful dude.. what did you use for the inside walls? was that plywood?
@@F-N-C Thanks! It was a hardboard from Home Depot. “Hardboard Thrifty White Tile Board”
What kind of welding was needed on the frame?
We welded the joints to help with rigidity since it’s a bolt together frame.

What is the stuff you used on the corners of the trailer? I'm having a hard time figuring out how to build a door on mine
I used some really inexpensive galvanized steel roof flashing. Works great, a little flimsy but with the right screws, it held strong. I used lathe screws. The doors are tricky. That was one of the last things I built because I didn’t know how to approach it.
