    I am admittedly VERY critical of builds, as I have high standards and so many times one sees poorly executed stuff celebrated online... but this is really impressive! If I still had my custom shop I'd be begging you to join our team. Not only was your build well thought out, your own criticisms of your work show an open mind and that you learn as you go. I've got a 5'x10" aluminum trailer I hadn't planned to make into a mini camper, but your project has me really thinking that now I should.
    Great job, you rock!

    I really do admire the professional work you did on your build! I think I need to do what you did and search for "poor man's fiberglass on some of the TD sites to see if there is a good explanation of how it is done. I do agree with you and will purchase my doors and will start looking for a skylight window. I figure that if a young lady like yourself with a pacemaker can do this well certainly a 77 year old geazer ought to be able to to it as well. And fortunately the weather in the Houston area is not as hot as Arizona! It will take me a little longer as I have slowed down. I have read every comment posted and your replies. So I have most of the ideas in my head. But will start putting notes down in a notebook. I think that the canvas idea definitely helps withe weight solution. Thanks and I look forward to your next TD!

    There is a difference between a person who puts just enough work in to get things done vs a trades person, often the level of work is enough to distinguish the two. This level of work done and the overall outcome of the product proves that you did it the right way and put the skill and patience in. A true definition of a trades person is seen through this video, even if this was a one off and you won't make another one for a long time if ever at all. This is excellent work and such a joy to see for numerous reasons. Hope this tear drop sees many adventures and you get as much fun and joy out of it as it was to design and making it yours.

    Risin' up, wheels on the street,
    Put in her time, took her chances.
    Tows the distance, uses tripod feet,
    Just a woman and her build will survive!
    So many builds, happen too fast,
    Your skill, your passion, your glory.
    Switch on the fan, out in the heat
    Cook outside, when your hungry.
    Turn up the Pioneer, play Survivor on the street,
    Just a woman and her build will survive!
    And the last known survivor watching Xī Fāng Bái Hǔ in the night
    And she's watchin' the stars with the eye ... of the tigerrr!!!

    This is a fantastic build. Lots of innovative ideas. Great work on the exterior design & paint. I love the ideas you had for the cooking area like the slide outs, and the rotating stereo. I'm a very large man, so a tear drop is really not my size, but if i were in the market for one, I want one just like this. Congrats on a great project.

    I LOVE your trailer. I have been staring at a lot of videos of teardrops both professionally and amateur (amateurly?) made. Especially of the DIY builds, yours is my favorite. I am inspired to some day make my own, when I get the space, tools and money. Your trailer touches on all the points I've been looking for. Big points for me is your BIG flip up kitchen door, by putting the hinge way up on the curve, the door just flips up that much higher; I'm a tall guy. I love how your cabinet door is actually a swing out shelf for your stove. The pull out sink is great. The turntable stereo is a stroke of genius. Seeing your trailer, I really want to copy it--if you don't mind sharing the blueprints.
    Question: your explanation of the walls was kind of muffled. Did you say it's made of canvas?? If you had to do it again, would you still use the same method for fabricating the walls?

    • @thelwood
      @thelwood  7 лет назад +15

      Thank you for the feedback. The basic shape is from the free ben roy plans (google). And yes! the skin is canvas and I love it!! Canvas, titebondII and paint. Airplanes and boats used to be made this way. It is beautiful and very effective.

    This such a great build this young women is very gifted in building and design. You know it's looks good when it looks factor made. The camper definitely doesn't look like a DIY project. This is by far the best DIY tear drop camper I've seen. Except mayber her other small tear drop camper. She custom built a camper for a man tow with his vintage Vespa Scooter. She built a tear drop camper from foam board. It even looks like a real vintage Vespa Tear Drop Camper. it's a Great looking motorcycle camper.
    People need to watch the video on her channel of the whole build and finished product.
    I'm actually looking for a motorcycle camper now or to DIY a small tear drop for my HD. I love her costum built design vintage style tear drop camper I just don't think my DIY skills are up to par but she has a video showing how she did it all...
    Your one fantastically fabulous designer and builder...
    I love this camper too they are both wonderful I like the little extra room ans storage in this one....
    Question:
    What is the weight of this camper???

  • @ktkt1825
    @ktkt1825 Год назад

    Acrylic paint does not seal against water, however, a sealer on the final coat of a Poly-crylic would be close. After using them once in a bathroom over a faux finish, I could not believe how well the coating managed in high humidity after many years. The water based polys have come a long way since- of course, many floors are done with them now. Amazingly hard and durable- I would highly recommend them.

    The Queen size bed was a smart feature. Excellent job.

    Well done! I like your pull out sink which frees up counter space. Great idea.

    I like the layout of your kitchen area, Well done maximizing the limited area for the sink and stove.
    I am building my micro-camping trailer and trying different layouts for the sink, stove and Coleman power-chill cooler to get it all to fit. I might go with your layout. nice job..

    I'm finding there are MANY different ways to build a teardrop, but YOURS is by far the sweetest. I am struggling with the wiring issue... I've never done that. I was also interested in seeing how you stretched the canvas around corners, etc. for the fiberglass application. Have you started another teardrop yet? I'll follow anything you put up! Thanks!

    Fantastic build! love the canvas idea, I'll bet it's a lot cooler than the tin also. I've been thinking about a camper van, but your teardrop has inspired me! Thank you for sharing your gifts! Great Video!

    great job ! one suggestion, either use a gel cell battery or put in two vents to exhaust the battery fumes. ( one at the top , one at the bottom ) the gel cell is by far the better option, no fumes, no acid, no problems.

      +bos dad Thanks for the tip! I did vent out the back but I like the idea of gel cell!
