    I wish my dad was still alive, I could show him this video and he would say, ok, let's build one. He was super handy and loved working with wood. Thanks for a great video I hope to build one soon.

      I'm still gonna build one with my Dad!
      He passed back in 2019.
      Whenever I'm working on something, he's always there to keep me motivated, to never quit when things get tough! 💪😭😂
      Every project I work on is in his memory! 😊
      I know I will never be as great of a man, or as knowledgeable, but my Father sure did give me a helluva work ethic!🎉😅
      He always loved camping and he owned an old 70s green Superior RV.😂😂
      My mother and I miss him very much, but we survive pretty good, allthings considered!
      Anyways.... Awesome build and will be using some of these techniques in my own future build!
      Thanks much! 👍

    Love watching people build things like this. Great job. When I have the space I’ll build one myself. I personally prefer a trailer frame with a wishbone to the hitch and I think I’ll try to use as little timber as possible. Going with Fibreglass and carbon fibre wherever possible. Quick, strong, light and waterproof.

    I'm totally new to any type of "from scratch" construction. I fixed some bathroom walls in my old house that rotted, but otherwise nothing. I see a LOT of great pointers that I can use. I bought the trailer for $800, it was a tear drop that was rotted. Tore it down to the trailer. I have SO many questions because I get a LOT of advice, but all from people whom have never built one. Beyond that, I don't know tools so forgive my ignorance. I see you did the inside FIRST, then outside when adding the roof/ceiling. I would appreciate any/all feedback you could give! :)
    This looks EXACTLY like the shape of mine! :). I do not have extra cash to spare, so I'm going as economical as I can, but still want it to be
    free of leaks.
    1) What is the gun with the hose attached and what is in it? Is that a nail gun or some type of adhesive gun?
    2) Did you undercoat the plywood underneath with anything?

    • @DIYTearDropJay
      @DIYTearDropJay  11 месяцев назад

      I have a complete build playlist of this exact camper here on RUclips. It's several videos but I explained everything. You will find a link to that playlist below. I use marine grade or exterior grade plywood so I don't coat the underside. If you want to do that, I recommend a quality exterior house paint. The bottom only sees water when it rains while traveling. The nail gun I use is just a cheap, Harbor Freight pneumatic nail/staple gun combo. I use 3/4 inch crown staples in the gun. I recommend you join DIY Teardrop Campers Community on Facebook (my group) There are alot of helpful members in that group. You can send me a Private message on Facebook you have any more questions Thanks for watching and BUILD ON!

    @RyanWattersRyanWatters Год назад +1

    So cool. Some questions if you’re cool with it:
    1. What’s the white material (and thickness) you used to cover the sides.
    2 And what kind of adhesive did you use to adhere it to the plywood?
    3. Did you use marine grade plywood?

    • @DIYTearDropJay
      @DIYTearDropJay  Год назад +1

      The skin is called filon. No glue, I floated it. The trim, doors, windows and anything else secured to, or going through the camper is enough to secure it. I used exterior grade plywood. Thanks for watching! Build on!

      I saw it a year after it was built and it spent that year in Texas. I saw it in Arkansas and the decals were fine. That said, this camper was built for a homeless Texas woman and I seriously doubt she cares if the decals get bubbles in them. She received this camper for FREE. The decals were her choice. I appreciate your insight and thank you for watching!
