Such a nice truck camper. You can be sure nobody else has one like this!

@homesteadonomics Ай бұрын

Thank you so very much! It is definitely one of a kind because I rarely make plans and just build as I go…. So there is quite literally no set of plans that goes with this 🤪 And the closer I get to figuring a sleeping setup, the more I realize I haven’t left myself a whole lot of wiggle room…. Which only helps to guarantee that nobody will copy it and it’ll stay one of a kind🤦‍♂️🤣

@homesteadonomics Ай бұрын

Thank you very much! I like them too. Been using them for well over 20 years and I believe they are a great value/price tool. Some folks will try and knock on them from time to time…. But I just remind them that the screw doesn’t care what drove it, the wood doesn’t care what turned the blade that cut it, etc,. And I built more than a few things with them😉 They get the job done and I think they do a great job!

Great video. I find it interesting that you had good service from the Bluetti as another man I follow on you tube had issues with his in the 120 volt operation, he said it would not power his small chop saw. He did say it worked fine as a 12 volt power supply

@homesteadonomics Ай бұрын

I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve had good experience with both units. As a matter of fact I was just using my AC200 the other day to transfer water on the back of my property because I didn’t want to be this one all scratched up for the video. But I’ll probably be showing it again when I add to this camper and be able to show it in operation powering the 12V lights, etc

Have you ever considered doing classes at your place on the skills you show, like welding and such?

@homesteadonomics Ай бұрын

Honestly it’s something I’ve considered a LOT. I enjoy the hands on, face to face style of education/learning very much. And it’s been asked so many times. But my wife has concerns of how to vet people to make sure no ‘weirdos’ got signed up….haha Which I think would actually be an extremely rare possibility. But being that it is at my home and where my girls are also at, it is a valid concern. Now if I was a single guy with no family at home I’d be all in. But I don’t want to rule it out completely as I know other folks have done classes and workshops at their properties and have had great experiences and many of the attendees end up making lots of friends too. So I guess ‘todays’ answer is no…. But I’m glad you brought it up because it is something I think I’d enjoy doing😊👍

@catgynt9148 Ай бұрын

Thanks for this update. I noticed that you door opens out rather than in; a small insecurity opportunity to lock someone inside by closing the truck tailgate. If trapped inside can you get out through a window or can you remove door hinges from inside? Wishing you and your family a blessed week filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings together. Peace brother

@homesteadonomics Ай бұрын

Yes, that is something that will be addressed for sure. Most especially when I get to thinking about the sleeping arrangement aspects. My initial thoughts are to have a bar that slides out from the lower section of the base that can be retracted from the inside. But I’m not 100% of that design just yet. But until then I’ve got other options. The door window can have the screen removed to reach out and work the tailgate handle, the side windows could be kicked out, or also the pop up roof can be opened to climb out from as well.

Preaching to the choir maybe. I'm more concerned about the future 50 caliber mount this build may need to support in the future. It will probably handle it though.

@toddshook1765 Ай бұрын

Thank you for showing the build. Really nice. What’s plan for pop up roof? I see you’re a fan of Ryobi tools. Been looking at replacing some of my older “ Master Mechanic “Nicad battery tools that don’t hold charge. Been using corded tools and battery pack to work on my 3acres.

@homesteadonomics Ай бұрын

Yes I’ve been using ryobis for over 20 years now. Was given a starter pack by my in laws when I got married and have used them over since. I find them to be the best value/price out there. Especially the batteries…. BUT you gotta shop when Home Depot has the Ryobi days. There is a usually a $99 offer for free tool with purchase of a 2x4ah battery set.

@chadjeror6046 Ай бұрын

Awesome job. What’s your next project?

@homesteadonomics Ай бұрын

Well, there will certainly be a few more videos on the camper…. Solar, 12V, bed conversion, etc,… But I’d like to tackle some tower things I’ve been wanting to get too. So maybe a garden ahade structure, or one for the goats…. But I’ve also got some shop things that have been on my mind too… oh yes, I’ve been meaning to do a livestream too. So I’ll have to think on it a bit. So I guess nothing super specific yet🤪

@cleokey Ай бұрын

Well done again! You mentioned solar on the roof in the future. Will that be as the same unit as the trailer you built in the past?

@homesteadonomics Ай бұрын

Thank you! As for the solar….I’m not sure just yet. But probably a 200w or 100w solid panel. On The travel trailer project I used two 185w sunflare flexible panels. But I think that’d be overkill on something like this as the travel trailer has the fridge to run and needs the extra. But i haven’t made a definitely decision just yet…. So the options are still open. Which sometimes isn’t a good thing for my mind🤪

@shakaama 22 күн бұрын

Hey I thought of you immediately. My friend is suggesting, after I saw it said vegas you need $92,000/yr to live, as a single man, that I instead buy some land and plop a "tiny house" on it, and showed me a Shed, converted into a tiny house. What do you think? and of course I don't have your skills, but I guess I could watch your stuff to learn it for real this time?

@me-sm7cu Ай бұрын

Question. Will you be able to charge the power supply from your truck while driving, maybe from the seven pin bumper outlet? Good video.

@homesteadonomics Ай бұрын

So I have thought about that as I’m eventually going to have to wire in a separate plug so I can plug the camper in as well as the trailer. And I’d route that up into the inside part of one of the truck bed sides. But I think the future solar panel on the roof is going to do well to keep it topped off. So I guess I’ll probably need to evaluate the fuses that control the trailer power and see if it might create too much of a draw when the camper is being towed or not

@offairhead Ай бұрын

Seeing that your door opens outward, I worry that you’ll be in there sleeping and someone will come along and close your tailgate and you’ll be stuck.

@homesteadonomics Ай бұрын

Yes, it’s something that I’ve been thinking about. And when I get to making the sleeping arrangement I’ll address that. Probably a bar or something slides from inside to prevent the tailgate from being closed. But in the interim I can reach through the door window and open the gate latch. Or if need be I can exit out the roof pop up or side windows.
