Really awesome. I like your interior design/finish very much
Thanks for sharing this DIY truck camper project. This is the perfect project for my grandson and I to work on next summer.
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic great job looks perfect
When i built mine i used fooring for the roof. I was staying in it but had a tarp over it . A raven ate a hole in the top of it. After I replace it with the flooring . I heard a raven try to land on it . He went sliding off of it . The fooring used came from Lowe's for 50 bucks. I went with a wood grain . What gave me the ideal was i went to a rv reapair place looking for a sheet of aluminum. But its Fairbanks Alaska. It took me years to find a ledlight for the inside of the camper . Now i can . But the teck said the side panels for rv looks like flooring . Later i went to a metal roofing company. So i decided to do that . The metal on the truck would add 150 pounds. They buy it by the role . And for 3 dollars a bend i needed 7 different bends. But i had a 1986 gm heavy 3/4 ton with a 454 . So I wasn't worried about weight.
Thanks for sharing. Motivating me to build one just to see if I can do it.
I am glad to see this video show up. I have a Toyota Tundra with an 8' bed and would like to build something similar. I would like to have a roof that pops up with tent/screen material around the back and edges so I can stand up (6'2" tall). I also am a boat builder (hobby) so have experience with epoxy. I also like the idea of making it a shell rather than creating a whole tub style which I think makes for many small unused spaces. Your modular furniture is also a great idea. I did not think about double doors but like that idea as well. Thanks, a very nice job overall.
Nice job and thanks for sharing. I built a full size truck camper but have been thinking about doing a smaller one like this for short trips.
I liked your vidio better than seeing sawing, nailing, gliding and screwing
Nice work
great looking build, seeing your process gives me some ideas to work with, I would lower the front edge even with cab roof than create a rise to the rear door so access would be easy on the head, thanks for putting this video together
Great little build. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Totally outstanding thank you for sharing the build! Safe travels to you, sir!
I love this camper. I was thinking if the back was inside the bed enough to retain the tail gate, it would be harder and more secure for anyone to get in the back. Still have your tailgate to sit in. I have been thinking of getting someone to make me a simple shell made out of wood and add a couple windows then have a friend of mine spray a bed liner over the entire thing and that is all I need for weekend outings. For now just keep dreaming.
Great video! Really makes me want to build one, I like how you made the option to make the bed bigger. Great work!
great work.got a few ideals so i can build mine,thanks
Glad I could help
Very well thought out. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Love this build! You did a great job! Looking forward to seeing how it holds u up!
Me too! Should hold up ok. If I had it to do over again I would make a few things lighter, and also look for a way to make the exterior parts (sides, back, top) modular for easier storage.
Nice build.
Great good job buddy 👏
First time follow your RUclips channel enjoy your day ok 👌 take care and have fun
Very nice! Thanks for doing this for us. I know that it will help me out.
Glad it was helpful!
Clean build
Beautiful
Awesome 😊
I think you did a good job
Thanks
Actually preferred how clear and concise you were with what you showed as opposed to a lengthy rambling build video
Thanks for sharing
Like your way of explaining. Vidios of sawing ,sanding and painting don't do much for me. Good job.
Thanks 👍
Very nice build. You've got me thinking. What is the floor to ceiling/roof top height? Thanks for sharing.
Love it! How heavy is the top portion? And how did you attach it to the bed rails? Did you put anything where the edges of the cap meets the bed/doors to prevent dust?
Can you go freeway speeds with pulled campers or camper shells made out of only 2x4s? I'm curious to ask how safe this is.
Good evening Aaron ! Thank you for sharing this nice looking build ! What was your material cost if available ? Safe travels !
Right around 2000 which includes everything from materials; lumber, epoxy, paint, electrical, etc. It also includes a Bluetti power station and two tri-fold mattresses.
Very nice build. How much does it weigh?
What is the weight? Loved this build
That was my question also:-) I would guess aprox 400 lbs....?
Don't have an exact weight. 400 is probably a pretty good guess. If I had it to do over again I'd shed some weight in a couple of places and probably also find a way to make the shell modular so it could be stored in pieces.
@@adgaffney23 im thinking about building something similar next summer. thinking of using the " foam covered in fiberglass or "poor mans fiberglass" . lots of videos about them here on YT.
Make a bench that slides into receiver hitch
great, how mush was the total material cost
Man, I’d love if you did a huge multi part video series of each step explained like you were talking to a 5 year old lol framed like a house Is lost on me
I feel ya
👍👍
How much does it weigh?
Arden how much does it weigh
Uhm
