You honeymoon teardrop is priceless. Instead of replacing it, you're going to have to rebuild it over and over, handing it down to your kids and grandkids ❤
You two are such a wonderful couple. I absolutely love that you both worked on this and adventured together. What an awesome and unique honeymoon ! It's kind of romantic. Very ingeniously built too. And I can see the harmony between the 2 of you. Perhaps working on a project like this and creating solutions together is the perfect marriage preparation. It makes for a real partnership, which in my opinion, is what most often is missing in unhappy marriages and vice versa. Kudos and best wishes for a long and adventurous happy partnership. ❤
The fact that you built it yourself, makes it much more special. The memories will last a life time, a great campfire story to tell your grandchildren. Keep Camping.
First of all CONGRATULATIONS on your Wedding 💗 Beautiful Couple, you did a wonderful job building your camper. I hope to see many more of your adventures. Refreshing couple. God bless you both!
With IG plaguing small travel with glamorous over the top builds I've come to appreciate the simple but functional builds. You gave me some great ideas, awesome build.
Baby Diaper Yellow...you guys are a cute couple and you show such wonderful respect and love toward each other...great example for young couples everywhere....You have done a great job at making an affordable and very functional trailer!!! Great job!!!
When y'all get old and gray you look back on this and remember it as some of the best times of your life you built it yourself you traveled in it and your honeymoon nothing better in life
The bed sheet covering is really clever. Several trailer companies in the 1930s did a similar thing, too. They would glue canvas to the roof, mainly, and then brush a heavy, soaking coat of paint on as waterproofing. It worked really well as I'm sure it does on yours. It's a nice little trailer with a charming interior, and I'm glad I got to see it.
I love how proud they are of their achievement. And rightfully so. This is just a simple trailer, but its nothing beats something that suits your own needs and that you made yourself! Simplicity is key to enjoying your life on your own terms. When I was your age, i bought my first little apartment from money i had saved up. The place was tiny and for the first years, most of the furniture was, shall we say 'improvised', self built, salvaged from attics and basements. Did i mind? No. Was I happy and proud? You bet!
Don’t make excuses for your work! Especially when you did it all yourself and built it for YOU! I’m just finishing up my lil camper build and have learned so much! Great job!
Absolutely adorable! May you a lifetime of health, wealth, happiness, and success together, and all your joint endeavors be sweet, fruitful, and full of life.
So refreshing to see a young couple on the right track. Education, money managing (your mini-RV), and your honeymoon idea. I think your future looks bright. Cheers and happy safe travels! 🙏🏻
Well you kids did a Beautiful job on your build. No doubt that you kids will continue to be Blessed! Love & God Bless y'all on your life Journey! Uncle Jeff!
Congrats on your Marriage and build and honeymoon!! Thx for sharing!!! Me and hubby are married for 20yrs and took our 4th honeymoon like this in a 12ft travel trailer and loved it!!!😉🤣😂 just a couple 🇨🇦travelling 33 US States, and now we want to come back!!!
There’s a new off road teardrop trailer that has a pass through like that! I love it because I need to be able to make my coffee before getting out of bed. Best idea ever! You guys invented it!
Awesome results ... great work! As a retiree, I am in the process of collecting the materials to build myself something quite similar. It's just me and my dog, so we won't need much space. I love the kitchen (and the pass-through snack door!). My van will carry equipment and house the solar array, but sleeping in the camper/Tiny Home is in the plan. Thanks both of you for sharing your great ideas! God Bless
Vans and trailers work very well together. And a pass through cabinet keeps you from having to get out for a snack. Good luck to you on your build. God bless you too!
What a super cute couple .. kinda like the carpenters song ..weve only just begun ..great build .. you will be amazing..good luck pilgrims n happy trails ..😍
I want to tell you something that is awesome y'all did a wonderful job and it's perfect it's exactly what you need and nothing more and that passed through for snacks at night very smart y'all make a great couple and God bless you I wish you many many years of happiness in your little home getaway
Your wife looks just like the beauty on the partridge family show, has she heard that before. Bless your travels and fun lives ahead. Enjoy, great start.
You all are an awesome couple. I love what you have accomplished . I am 60 and have been thinking about building one like you have built here. You both are frugal, the frugal DIY teardrop camper builders, and I think that is so smart. Just like how you explained how you took your honeymoon, very smart. Thank you for sharing.
What a wonderful way to spend time together. Building your own camper together. I have renewed hope for the future of our species after watching your video.
You guys win the prize for cutest couple on all of RUclips. Such wonderful personalities too. I've designed and built 5 trailers over the years...so I think I'm qualified to say that your little trailer is brilliant. The pared-down simplicity is a home run. Awesome job!
oh.my.god. you two are the cutest, nerdist, white couple i have ever seen. you're both adorable. i hope you have many many adventures together in this camper!
Adorable couple. Live to love and love to live. Living a good life does not have to be expensive. But when you cherish the important things in life (like each other) then you will be much richer than any amount of money can provide.
Amazing little camper build! A couple who may actually be a good match for life's challenges. Such common sense and creativity can be rare. It's people like you that make me think the younger generation will be just fine. Congrats on your awesome DIY camper. Congrats on finding each other as well. Thanks for sharing this video. Safe travels.
Very down home!!! Great video loved how you two handled each other through out you post... great start for your marriage, wish the both of you many years of happiness!!!! Tc from Nevada
Love it! I realized after cramping with my first husband that every couple should put up a tent together before they decide to get married. You guys went way beyond that so I think you'll be just fine!!
Thanks! We think that having to work together before we got married helped us to prepare for the challenges that come up in married life. I wonder if any big adventure will do to test the relationship?
@@hayterhobbies745 I bet it would! As long as it involves challenges and opportunities for disagreement. Bonus if it let's you see how they treat other people :-).
Absolutely LOVE this trailer. "Ramen." Fitting for college. Love it. Few people have a honeymoon story to tell like yours. I remember ads for a "build your own honeymoon trailer" in Popular Mechanics from the 1930's. You're more traditional than you know and have more fun than most.
Awesome project guys!! Its great to see a young couple work together to plan and carry out your adventures in marriage and life. Good luck as you continue life's endevors. Kuddos!!
Wow! Great job guys! Very well thought out. Totally impressed that you did this during such a busy time in your lives! Gives us all hope that you can make and make do on a tight budget.
Excellent job. Given your budget, I'd say you exceeded what would be expected. And, to consider the source, I build campers for a living. My hats off to you.
@@hayterhobbies745 not allowed to film the shop floor. Too many proprietary trade secrets as it were. But if you look up leisure travel vans on you tube we have more than a few promotional videos so you can at least see the finished product. If you ever decide to rebuild it and want some pointers, hit me up, there's lots of stuff I can share.
@@iambeeman1 That's understandable. We'll check them out, and when we get around to trying to convert a van, maybe we'll reach out to you. Thanks for the resource.
Y’all put this up a couple of years ago and I just found it. I grew up in a construction worker family, only managed college with the GI bill. I can honestly say this. Some of your construction skills weren’t the best BUT you did it! That’s fantastic! I’m pretty severely disabled right now and haven’t been able to camp in over 10 years. At 65, I’m going to have to build a camper that meets my needs because they don’t design RVs for wheelchair bound disabled people. But hey, I’m disabled, not dead. I need a temperature controlled space to rest in when I have to go horizontal and a place to safely put my power wheelchair when I’m not in it and it’s charging. Otherwise, my needs are pretty much the same as everyone. I need to experience nature beyond my yard and garden. I’m comfortable in the wild if I have a way to stay warm and cool and I have an internet connection.
Terrific home-built and a wonderful recap of planning and preparing for your life together. Your love for adventure, thinking outside the box, and willingness to support each other's dreams will serve you well through your careers and marriage. 👍💫
Love the simplicity of this design. I like the use of plywood, fabric, glue and paint on the trailer body onto the lightweight Harbor Frieght trailer frame. I know the technique was used to build airplanes for WW1 and up to the beginning of WW2 bc of metal shortages so this would hold up well being towed and bouncing down the road.
You both are wonderful. Great job. Smart and practical. Hope you have many years of joy camping in it. We brought a run a way camper. Love it. Are thinking of building one a bit bigger on old pop up frame.
Really love what you did with that little trailer and make it into a little portable camper you guys did a really awesome job you ought to be proud of yourself you don't find too many people that will do that and especially if you want to take it for your honeymoon I guess that's what you made it for I think. I hope to see more videos in the future keep us posted take care I'm from Sand Lake Michigan
Nice Build. You guys made some real memories that you will remember and share with others for the rest of your lives. I Wish You Both Happiness Forever, God Bless!
I have seen thousands of trailers. For price, simplicity, your's is by far the best I have ever seen. Great job. Well done. Young love.
Thanks! That means a lot. We are glad that we hit out target.
I totally agree! LOVe the set up of the kitchen and the bed area is well thought out also.
@@kellirawlinson3121 Thank you! It was fun to make the kitchen and sleeping area come together for the best us of our space.
Beside being a very cute couple, you both did a great job on the teardrop build.👍

Everything has an early 60's look, even the young couple.
Beautiful camper!

Thanks! And I couldn't agree more. When we worked together on this project, we knew that we would be able to work together in our marriage.
The fact that you built it yourself, makes it much more special. The memories will last a life time, a great campfire story to tell your grandchildren. Keep Camping.
Yeah, I agree! Let's hope our grandchildren like camping as much as we do. We'll certainly have to have a bigger camper to take them though!
You guys are rad! My wife, 10 year old daughter and I frequently camp in a trailer not much bigger than yours. Simple is never stupid.. cheers!
Thanks for the compliment! How do you manage with a kid? We are definitely going to have to upgrade once one comes along for us.
Hammock
"Ramen trailer" >>> love that characterization. 😂😂
Me too! And" the build was marriage counseling"
Thanks guys! You know budgets are tight in college. At least we didn’t have to eat Ramen in the trailer! 🤣
Lovely teardrop. It will last for years, a good decision vs a “normal” honeymoon.
I wish you all of the best for your future.
Barry P It sure will! I’d take the experience I gained here over a cookie-cutter honeymoon any day.
First of all CONGRATULATIONS on your Wedding 💗 Beautiful Couple, you did a wonderful job building your camper. I hope to see many more of your adventures. Refreshing couple. God bless you both!

Great! We were glad to share it with you.
Don’t make excuses for your work! Especially when you did it all yourself and built it for YOU! I’m just finishing up my lil camper build and have learned so much! Great job!
You guy's spent 19 days together in that little camper. And your still together. You guy's will stay together forever.
Absolutely adorable!

“Perfect is the enemy of good enough.” Y’all got the job done and didn’t break the bank. Really like that you reused the latch. Well done.
There’s a new off road teardrop trailer that has a pass through like that! I love it because I need to be able to make my coffee before getting out of bed. Best idea ever! You guys invented it!
I don't know that we invented it, but if Beth hadn't suggested it, we would have been snackless!

I designed and built a pickup truck camper once. After watching your video, I am totally impressed with your build.
Your wife looks just like the beauty on the partridge family show, has she heard that before. Bless your travels and fun lives ahead. Enjoy, great start.
She hasn't heard that before, but I can agree that she is a beauty. Thanks!
you chaps look so happy, you filled me with joy, thank you
You're welcome! Our pleasure!
Thanks for sharing. You created and fulfilled a dream that will stay with you forever.A very practical way of venturing without breaking the budget

I love this already and I have only watched the start. It looks simple and easy to build. You guys are such a sweet couple.
oh.my.god. you two are the cutest, nerdist, white couple i have ever seen. you're both adorable. i hope you have many many adventures together in this camper!
Cute couple with a cute camper.
(Although adding a emergency camp-potty and a deep cycle battery would be a couple of inexpensive items to ad :)
Cool way to start a marriage! Congrats and I hope you keep traveling! ✌
Thanks!
Love love love your little camper!! You guts have soo many memories that noone else have! You rock guys! Stay happy for life!
Thanks! We will certainly stay happy as long as we're working together!
For lighting give the "Luci Light" a try. Solar charged ( I put mine on the car dashboard when traveling) and they give great light for hours.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Excellent job building your camper on a budget. It's not the most beautiful, but very functional and I love it! May God Bless you both!
Yall did a outstanding job
Thanks!
Thanks for the tour of your camper and sharing your story! Your innovations have given me many ideas.
Adorable couple. Live to love and love to live. Living a good life does not have to be expensive. But when you cherish the important things in life (like each other) then you will be much richer than any amount of money can provide.
So true! Thanks for watching!
Fantastic build guys.
Memoirs are forever : )
Thanks!
All because two people fell in love. Nice build. Congratulations.
I love it!!
Normal is relative. Everyone is someone else's weirdo. 🤪
Ain't that the truth. To me everyone else is weird. 😂
Lol, great quote! I realized years ago that no matter how great we might be, "we're all someone's a**hole." But I like your quote better 😀
Only a weirdo would say that!
;)

Most important part of the trailer, and by far the most key thing for a happy wife... THE SNACK HOLE. LOLOL. She got so excited about it. Awesome.
The Ramon trailer equivalent lol🤣 you got me! I luv the ingenuity. You did what you had todo at a cost effective budget. Enjoy it! 👍👍
It's a very nice build excellent shape design. And it gives me super great ideas on my bucket list build
Thank you! We had many ideas for the shape but were glad where we landed on it.
My wife and I also did a National Park road trip for our honeymoon. It was such a great time. You guys are awesome
Great story....nice build, congrats on both the camper and being newlyweds. Enjoy.
Thank you! Three years and going strong!
Wow you kids are great . What a good experience ! Great job !
Thank you!
You guys are awesome. I love you guys and your camper.for me that thing was just perfect. I hope you're both still enjoying your little camper.
