      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.

    • @chickenfriedsteak9330

      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?

  • @cornelj
    @cornelj Месяц назад

    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.

    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?

    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.

    • @rudysquest
      @rudysquest  2 года назад +9

      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.

    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.

    What are the measurements of the door and window and where did you get them from?

    • @rudysquest
      @rudysquest  2 года назад

      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.

    What kind of welding was needed on the frame?

    • @rudysquest
      @rudysquest  Год назад

      We welded the joints to help with rigidity since it’s a bolt together frame.

      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.

    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

    • @rudysquest
      @rudysquest  2 года назад +5

      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.

    • @rudysquest
      @rudysquest  10 месяцев назад +1

      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.
