Designing and building this Truck Camper was an awesome challenge for me, especially making that Pop-Top Tent. Holy moly.
I hope you enjoy the video!

Thanks for watching!
I know this was a longer video, but I thought it would be more satisfying to see the whole process in one go.
What do you think?
gro plz make a whole old truck into a camper van or truck plz!
that would be more satisfy love from pakistan❤
Think your right Nice project well exicuted.
One go was good. Just wild that you put this all together. Great work!
Such a well made vid bro ,I have a up grade ,I did for the side walls for the pop up
From the viewers point of view, very satisfying to see a project go from start to finish, so thanks.
Hope you find more such projects in nhe future.
I know few people will appreciate this small detail ,but thank you for putting in the imperial system measurements.
You're the first person to comment on that, thanks for noticing! I'm glad it was appreciated
@@FurtherFabrication Yes, thank you from Oregon.
^ another from Oregon so cool!
I'm Canadian and appreciate the imperial terms too.
Oregon as well (cave junction)
I am a long time fabricator my self. So impressed with your design and workmanship that I bought a set of your reasonably priced plans. Best wishes.
Thank you!
amazing, well explained, kool effects time lapse!!
Awesome!!
This is by far the best pop up camper DIY build I’ve come across. The quality of the recording, the explanation throughout the build, and the fact that it’s made with pretty much majority standard parts from the hardware store is just absolutely incredible. Phenomenal job mate! 👌
Wow, the meticulous planning and detail of this build along with filming and editing… 😅. Well done sir this is months and months of work! Thanks for taking us along for the build.
Thank you! yeah this was months of work all up, so I'm glad it came across in the video
Pro Tip: Use pepper for a spicier build.
hahaha exactly
Pro tip, bring your wife for a warmer night... but for a spicier one, bring your wife's sister.
Funny comment😅
Achoo ‼️
Ghost peppers
I don’t usually watch build videos this long but I’m so impressed by the level of detail in both your build and video production. Love that you explain all your methods and how you went about learning new skills. Fantastic job you’ve done and obvious just how much thought you put into it before you even started. Bloody well done :)
"sewing is really enjoyable" spoken like a true maker!! 👌
Tip: install a elastic band running around the top tent.. it helps in closing the fabric properly
Great idea!
The elastic band (bungy cord) will also help keep the tent material from flapping in the wind. You will sleep much better.
Dude, I'm so happy that I found your channel. The quality of your work is so good. Another beautiful project 👏
Thanks mate!
I was impressed immediately as well. I clicked the "Subscribe All" at the 1:10 time mark, when I noticed the circular saw guide!
Probably the best of videos for this subject I've seen. (and I've been watching a lot) Very professional. Thanks for not playing obnoxious music or using time lapse.
Maybe one thing that popped into my mind when I saw it finished (after noticing how good it looks) - the struts may not be able to withstand side winds. I know commercially made pop tops use struts to lift but use additional pantograph-like supports that hold and lock the roof into place. Maybe look into that.
Even RV awnings bend and break with small gusts. It happened to me and it ruined one of the lift arms. It ripped the rivet through the aluminum. I would not suggest leaving it open when you are away.
Once the top is popped, a rod could be placed at the tall corners to help keep the tent structure tight. The flapping is partly what puts stress on it, besides the noise of the flapping being impossible to sleep through. Also helps prop up the top so reduces some of the stress on the struts if the sides are catching wind like a sail. But yeah, high winds are probably not good for it if you can't park facing into the wind.
Fashion a couple of expanding aluminum poles in the corners of the tall side. This will apply tension and structure. Will also prevent roof from collapsing.
@@ChopperChad good idea. an extendable painting pole would work. Throw a mini tennis ball over the threaded end. I only suggested a rod because I was thinking of something thin and unobtrusive.
Removable X brace at the rear
What a fantastic build - easily the best quality self-built I've seen. Thanks for the video!!
Thank you!
Unbelievable build, craftsmanship and video editing as always! 👏
Definitely recommend adding an anti condensation material to the ceiling and any interior exposed aluminum, as well as an elastic strap around the tent fabric to help it synch inwards when closing. Awesome build!
I just want to say, this is the first video of yours that I've seen and I'm subscribed now. Beyond the build itself, I really appreciate the way you talk about sewing. I see so many people pawning off the sewing onto their wives but instead you acknowledge that it's just another skill and it's good to have more skills. And I really appreciate that
Likewise
Your attention to detail is something to be admired. Also, the tricks you use are very clever. I don't know how I ended up on this video but really enjoyed it!
Thank you! haha well I'm glad you ended up here
As a senior Engineering student, a woodworker of 10 years and a person who has lived out of their truck for several months you did an absolutely brilliant job!!
23 words for yourself and only 6 words for the legend...
@@TF-mc6yjgood counting 😊
@@TF-mc6yj 6 more than you gave the legend. You gave twelve just to bitch.
Even though I will most likely never built a pop up camper I really enjoyed this video. I would not be surprised if the build quality puts those other campers to shame.
Liked and subscribed 👍
The attention to detail and the finite skill of your build is astounding! It looks like you bought the camper from an actual camper company. Looks 100% OEM. INCREDIBLE JOB! Thanks for sharing it!
I'm a content creator, I feel like I learned just as much about video editing as I did about tent building by watching this video.
Very impressive brother
Amazing, accurate, precise work, a carpenter, locksmith and tailor all in one. You are a great professional, huge, huge congratulations to you.
What an amazing build and big props for sewing it all together. It can’t have been easy, especially when you want it as good as possible. You smashed it 👏🏻
Thanks mate, yeah sewing the tent was definitely new territory for me!
Just discovered your channel through this video and immediately subscribed. The fact you made this look so easy shows how well you prepared beforehand in the planning stages and CAD, and the final result is really cool. Nicely done
This was the first video of yours I’ve seen and it was super cool! I’ve wanted to get into 3D printing, CAD, and sewing but have been very nervous since I haven’t done it before. This video definitely gave me the motivation to at least try, keep up the good work!
Welcome, glad you enjoyed the vid and it gave you some motivation! yup just one step at a time
Awesome project. I love that you’ve used attainable materials and techniques but built it at such a thorough quality level. I hope this propels your growth to the next level and I look forward to what you come up with next.
Out of all the tons and tons of DIY tent videos I have watched this is by far the most well put together detailed one I have seen. I'm blown away at how cool this tent looks. I really like the black orange and white with the decals. Excellent work!
Very well done. Thank you for sharing all the details.
I have never commented on a RUclips video, but this build was too good not to let you know. I’ve been dreaming of making a wedge style camper just like this as the price of similar style campers on the market are just out of my budget at the moment. Definitely going to be checking out your build plans and hopefully I can build one for my 2000 Ford Ranger in the future. Subscribed! Hope to see more about the camper in the future!
Thank you for the comment! I Hope you you can bring your dream into reality
This was an awesome build! A steal at only $10 for the plans! Do you plan on making any similar designs? Maybe a 4 season insulated version? Would be so cool to see a winter camping montage and having one with one of those tiny wood stoves. Again, Awesome build!
Brilliant work man, ive been waiting for someone to make this kind of build. I've spent months going through rough sketches trying to figure this out. Seeing it in action makes me more confident.
Brilliant! Love your design, and your tenacity. Cheers
Loved your work! I used to build sails for super yachts and sail bags and the only thing id suggest (if you have the right machine) is to use a 3 step zig zag stitch for seams because the weight gets distributed over a larger surface area. That should improve its durability :)
Great job designing and building this camper. Thanks for sharing.
Great Job ! Thx for sharing the bild and the great result !
That camper looks so heckin' CLEAN, incredible job as usual!
This is great. Make sure to bring along some supports for the large open end. I just watched some other videos of them camping in snow and the roof was trying to collapse on them. They called it being eaten by the tent. And I think you should fiberglass it. It will make it more rigid and waterproof.
WOW.
Great design and even better build. I love your attention to detail. Looks awsome, thanks for sharing, and I look forward to seeing it put to use.
Amazing! I often thought about making the same. But now you already did it! Great job! Good to see that we do not need this high-end constructions if we just focus what for we really are planning! Thanks to you for give me a big push to try myself!
How about adding a wind deflector to the truck roof to improve gas mileage? Also, the size of the sewing machine needle is crucial! Great video!
Thinking of doing something similar to this on my full size GMC extended cab pickup, but using my existing bolt together lumber rack as the structural frame and composite DIY panels for the sides and top that are insulated. Nice work, I’ll definitely watch this again before I build mine.
Nice, yeah having a pre-existing frame to build is a good head start
Do make a video and share please 🎉
What a joy to watch, so many good ideas and workarounds....really a project to be proud of
Quality build! Thank you for sharing 😊
Excellent, if I had a truck I'd be researching local suppliers now. Just finished a laser cutter build using your videos as inspiration could not ask for a better resource.
Awesome, congrats on finishing your build! glad I was able to help out
“Aluminum”? “Math”?
Much valuable learning here. I’m hoping to build a Canopy with a Hard-Shell Tent on top and there’s some useful hints in this video.
Haha I'm just losing syllables left and right! A hard-side version would be very cool, glad you could pick up some info
Glad I was not the only one triggered by ALUMINIUM. Yelling at the telly where are you from…… why pander to the yanks.
This is beautiful! Thanks for sharing
Lots of terrific ideas, and inspiration. Thanks.
Highest quality build, explanation and video for a DIY build that I have ever seen! BE PROUD, BE VERY PROUD!!!
Great job! It went out really nice! Thank you!
Absolutely amazing! Really enjoyed watching the full process.
Very beautiful, thank you for sharing your great ideas.
Great job, very detailed in both design and video reporting.
Thank you!
Thank you for a great video! Good, original design, light-weight and practical! You've explained things succinctly, without compromising tips for beginners.
Absolutely brilliant. Love it!!!
You, sir, are an brilliantly talented, patient, genius!! FANTASTIC! Safe travels.
Precision and talent made it exceptional viewing.
Thankyou for the inspiration 😊
The amount of care and precision made this build so satisfying to watch. I love that you created your own lock and sticker. Absolutely brilliant! Tbh I planned on skipping through your video and you ended up capturing me with your attention to detail and zoned in shots. Well done sir! Beautiful camper!
Great project. So stoked to see a fellow kiwi building awesome stuff in the diy styles. I love seeing the familiarity of your tools, glues etc that we don’t get by other international RUclipsrs out there. Even your Ranger and garage door opener are the same! 😊
This was remarkable. I initially thought “I’ll watch this as I have a ranger and I’m desperate to get a roof top tent and this may give me not only economic benefits but options for utilising space” about 10mins in I’m thinking “yeah this fella has skills. He can competently design, fabricate, construct. Just leave it Dazzer” I wasn’t wrong, i can’t do what you do, except for the sewing. I’ve learnt to see last year to pimp up some of my tents and it is so satisfying making stuff.
Wow that planning and application is on point. You are one amazing dude. I have a mini van and was thinking of making the same. I hope you make a project for a minivan so that I can just get hints and points from that project 🙏 Thank you for the inspiration!
That's exactly what I was looking for. I was planning to build a small offroad capable camp top for my Ranger. You saved me a lot of time on the drawing board. Thanks! I will buy your plan.
You did an AMAZING job, both in design as well as practical function ..... Much respect !!!!
Watching this was a real beauty, thanx, you are a master of your craftmanship. Love it!
What a Great job you did Thanks for sharing
Love this! ❤
You have some amazing skills. From woodwork to aluminium cutting to sewing to video editing. Fantastic.
class work !!!!! love it !!
Well done mate. Good on ya. Thanks.
Perfect! I love it
Awesome built ❤love it. Thanks for sharing
Finally a good video from the beginning with all that pain you faced! Loved that.
I've been missing your uploads! Always concise and impressive. You're the reason that I built my first CNC.
Thanks mate! hey that's so cool, I'm sorry I led you down the rabbit hole haha
You're awesome!!!! What a lot of work, and fine termination. Congrats!!!
Absolutely brilliant work mate thanks for sharing such a fantastic project. results are amazing
I don't comment much, but I wanted to say this is some of the best diy frame build ideas that I have seen in any of the camper, tiny house or caravan builds I have watched. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you RUclips algorithm for the gem of a video, actually watched the video all of the way through, the craftsmanship you displayed is top notch and everything turned out so good! Well done for coming in so cheap too!
Awesome. It's incredible that all build by yourself, even the sewing job. Thanks for filming all the details of your design, I believe it will inspire more great DIY work that we my never image.
Simply... Nicely Done!!
absolutely stunning! so inspiring!
Awesome build thanks for sharing 👍🇨🇦
Amazing work. great job. I've been toying around with the idea of putting a popup on my 1989 suburban and you're detailed video reveal a lot. thank you
Just awesome!!
