A couple tips on installing corrugated metal siding. You should lap the ‘bumps’ by two, not one. Use a pre-cut pine scalloped stiffener (they sell them) under your line of screws and finally use longer gasketed screws and enter the screw at the Top of the ‘bump’ not the valley and you have less leaks. Cheers🎉

I watched your 1st day out of the house and living in your truck and I loved it. So now i've started with your 1st video to catch up. Proud of you, wish you luck and happiness and may God take care of you while you travel. Enjoy all that you do and do it all. Life is short and your dream to live in your truck and travel is a wonderful idea.

You should feel really proud of yourself, this is amazing you have great talent . The camper came out very nice and its definately something towards bigger things for you. Thank you for letting us get to see you build it. Its really amazing.

Can’t wait to see more vids of you traveling and using this awesome build!

I really like how you invested in this with the tar and just everything. Very smart to put that cash in it up front so you can have more piece of mind!

You did a very nice job! You've also motivated me to make one myself. Thank you!

Your carpentry skillz look great, the only thing that scares me is the final build weight! Looks like it will weigh as much as your truck 😂. No matter what stay safe and keep well!

J 0 seconds ago When I was your age, I had my face glued to the screen of a gaming console. I didn't learn this kind of building talent until I became a home owner (10 years ago). We have 3 boys (in grade school). It's been a dream of mine to help them with project like this, one day. Good for you, young man. (always wear disposable clothing + gloves when working with paint/tar/sealant)

You worked so hard, proud of you😢❤

should have screw the roof panels. on the high ribs, the lower one going to hold water longer, look at it, and see what I'm saying, other than that awesome build, Brah. , oh yeah one other thing, could put a window right where you could open your rear window and talk to passengers in the camper,

might be a good idea to put some plastic or rubber feet under the bottom to keep the wood off the bed floor , this helps against the wood rotting fron sitting in a puddle it build like a woodframe house meaning its going to be pretty heavy to lug around on the back of the truck , take a look at the size of wood they use on full size rv's its about a quarter that and they get the rigidity out of the outer shell and the cabinets inside

My camper was 1100lbs empty but I bought a 2017 Cache Slide in truck camper built in Alaska. I don't even have a roof fan (intake or exhaust) but I do have an AC/Heater on top that runs off 120V and my Honda 2000 will run it.

That counter top looks incredible! Can't wait to see more!

You did an amazing job ! I love your camper🥰 Our first camper was a slide in the truck like yours, we had so much fun in it. Hope you have many fun adventures in your camper. Be safe and God Bless 🙏🏻

Been watching your videos for the past 3 weeks (when they come out) but just now went back to your older videos, this is very impressive 👍

Great job on your build. Be sure to add a carbon monoxide detector if you plan on running a Mr Buddy type heater. Be safe and enjoy your adventures!

Great job! I am impressed. Your parents must be so proud of you.

You did a great job building your camper! You showed no fear of it tipping when I was thinking it would. First when it was setting on top of those stools and then balancing on those little legs. I guess you had them on tight and right. Amazing fast and dedicated work. I just subscribed. Waiting for your next visit with us. I'm from Central Okla.

Very cool. Makes me homesick.

If this his first time building DIY camper; he did a great job.

This is awesome dude! Looks amazing! Very well done! I envy you.

awsome build, lots of space!! and strong

Very nice build, nice quality video. Can't wait for your adventures!

This was pretty cool 😎 I don’t know technical terms and measurements but my dad was a master carpenter and your very talented!! This is awesome

Well done. Great vid. I like how you're not afraid to show some of the mistakes along the way :)

DUDE. You built your own camper. Mad respect man. You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain. I loved your perceived fly by the seat of your pants approach. I PICK YOU FOR MY TEAM. That epoxy on the wood pops HARD! I like the use of the acoustic panels. Glad you weighed everything out. I am curious what total cost was of materials...you are very clever dahling! Cheers, @Andrew Ryan POV

Well done young man you should be proud of yourself

Glücklich und Stolz! Das ist das Beste am Selbstbau.

Nice work, Andrew!

This was a great time-lapse build and it came out nice. Now that your living in the camper I know space is finite and a luxury. Have you considered taking the tops of the bench sides and adding hinges to fully utilize the cargo capacity between the frame and truck bed?

Fair play to you, it certainly looks capable to do the job you require it to do. watching you from the UK

I give you a lot of credit, Nice Job. Good luck have fun 😎👍

Looks awesome! Killer job brother 👍

Very nice build, you made it solid and it looks great

great job filming this! got it done quick

I just ran into your video and you are awesome and very talented! Great build! I’m a subscriber! ❤️

Great build, beautiful inside.❤️🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼✌🏼

Impressive!

Truly inspiring

Wow...very impressive!

You did an amazing job man, wow! 👍🏽🌹

Wow... incredible., well done 🎉😊

Did you put patch n seal on all nails/screws?😱🤷🏽‍♀️

Very talented young man. Wish I had a camper truck ….gonna take some savings :)

Pretty freaking cool bro. Subscribed! I love seeing builds like this and people living on the road. Those craftsmanship skills are rare to see! Interested on the total cost it took to build this?

This was amazing 🎉

I am proud of you, Andrew Ryan POV 👏

You got some mad skills!

Awesome job! Remember if you use Mr. Buddy heater, it will put condensation in your rig.

looks very heavy, I am not knocking your build but I would have looked towards European designs of vehicles using modular panels, I personally would have gone for quarter-inch ply insulation sandwiched between another piece of quarter-inch ply glued screwed together to make panels with your ideas on how to build you would have one strong lightweight camper. Keep up your great work to inspire others.

Wow! You have some serious skills. Just found your channel and enjoyed watching the build. Incredible job...New subscriber here.

Awesome 🤘🍻🤘

You are doing a beautiful job with your project

Awesome build young man :) I built a camping rig last summer maybe run into you on the road one day,

I give you props for living this life. Wish I could but 57 I should be getting settled not staring over. We will see what life brings my way. Good Luck to you from Pa. Dawn is how you pronounce my name.

Great job enjoy your heard job

Did you already have some build experience. Puttin this together looks like second nature to you

Be proud of the amazing home you've built, I wouldn't have half the skills to get something like that accomplished lol

Well done young man! Greetings from down under Australia 🇦🇺….

Great work love 👍🏾🇬🇧💙

I know I don't know you but lord I'm proud for you.... You did a great job on that camper or tiny house whichever one you want to call it but nevertheless it turned out so good... You have a great time and be safe out there...... KSF

great work!!!!

You are so cool 😚 skilled and talented

Very nice job 👍👍

Absolute master of the diagonal screw

Very nice build. It'll be warm for sure! I'd like to know the weight of your truck with and without the camper.

Привет , Андрюха! Отличный кемпер! Удачи в путешествиях)))

TIP YOU NEEDED TO ADD TARE PAPER TO THE WOOD BEFORE THE METAL SO THE WOOD WOULDN'T ROUT

2:37 they don’t build palms like they used to🤣🤣

Almost perfect…. Just missing the waterproof house wrap stuff under the siding? I’ve seen houses being built and i aways saw that stuff on it.

💜

You have an Amazon wishlist or anything? Somewhere we could buy you batteries

Awesome

Watching from Alberta Canada 🇨🇦

Love this video not a lot of useless chatter❤

you must have taken shop in school. fantastic job!

I have been watching your channel and commenting. I just watched the first video. Amazing skill you hzve. I'm more of a bulldozer! Everything I touch breaks.

Fantastic 🇺🇲🇺🇲

That’s Amazing makes me want to build me One…..I get a Truck 2 Ton or a van either way I’d enjoy Life Period 😊

That has to be the most overbuilt truck camper in the world.

Какой же ты молодец! Классный получился домик!

This looks cool, but can’t imagine the truck being able to handle that much weight your adding on. How are you supporting this new structure. Changed up your suspension system I’m guessing.

Good on you! How you strap it on, as in where & to what? And do you need a permit for it? Kudos from Australia 👍

I'm surprised you used that fiberglass / plastic corrugated roofing material. Seems really vulnerable to breakage by road debris, hail, etc. How is it holding up? How did the weight of the camper balance out with your max cargo weight of the vehicle? 1480 was before you did the interior. What was the max cargo capacity of the truck?

Nice job..but why building it raised on platform? Wouldn't it have been easier to build it on the ground? Just asking

Just watching your build I was wondering how tall is it I’m am looking into building my own and need ideas

Great job but way to heavy for my little LS can you make another with liter weight material I'm not smart enough to come up with it on my own but I'm good at copying.

Awesome build! Do you know how much weight it totaled out to?

Hail from Taiwan !

Doorknobs or handle🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

Looks like it’s gonna be really heavy

How much more weight is added to your van, I would worry about the ongoing weight use on the axel, and how much less mileage would you get do you know, as my son is so interested in doing the same thing, he doesn't see the other issues that can be involved.

Hey brother I was wondering if you could go into details like how much did it cost you more or less because I have a Ford ranger that I would like to put a little camper in the back but money is so tight that I don’t even know how to start I saw how you saw it did the side framing and that’s why I was holding me up because I didn’t know how that overlap lip was gonna hold onto all that weight🙏🏻Once I build mine I will send you a video because I’ve been watching this video of over 30 times and I would like to do my framing like you did yours God bless you thank you

Those egg crate foam? Are you turning your little home into a music studio?

How long are the side measuring from the fender outwards???? I’m building mine now as we speak Thanks to you my brother

Wonder how much you spent to build it???

That’s a 1/2ton(1000lb) truck,your dry weight is 1500,that’s even before you added more stuff to the build,and I’m not even talking making it move in ready. I’d keep an eye on suspension stuff and most definitely brakes. Either way,looks good. Good luck man. I’m about to sell my 1500 Sierra for a 3/4 for weight reasons for my DIY camper

... ya might want to remake your door, to open as one door, and as two door latched together on the inside [part of it opening above the closed tailgate] [or even maybe an egress door, in the door itself, so ya could possible squeeze out]... LOL, IF i was a mean person camping, THEN i "might" flip your tailgate up, while you are inside. [egress exit??] ...the window is a long way down.

Sorry to ask all the questions is your truck a 2500 or 3500 and how long is the truck bed ...I would love to build a small camper but my truck bed is only 5 feet 6 inches and I have a 1500 ram need to build a light camper

How you going to anchor it to the truck?
