Looks great guys! One caution: The 16ga extension cord you used is rated up to 13 amps or 1430 watts. Most space heaters can run up to 1800 watts so if you try to plug it in, you will overload and overheat the wires. What you can do is buy a 12ga cord and plug that in separately in your campground outlet.

@josephmarino3045 8 ай бұрын
14 gauge extension cord would have been a much better choice. You can use a separate 14-gauge just for the heater or like somebody else said a 12 gauge. I know $$$

@@michelleparks4582 it's not insulated. It is wrapped in Tyvek waterproof plastic, but NO INSULATION. Drywall right and pallet clabbords over 2x2 balloon framing and a steel roof over open beams. It is more insulated than a tent just due to bulk. If they hung foam board instead of drywall...or they stuck foam board in the voids...or they sprayed expanding foam in ...then some insulation. The bus windows are single pane, but safety glass, frames are aluminum...so it is pretty R zero. It is fine for what it is. Most of their builds use drywall qith mud joints and marble tile flooring...yet we never see it a year later after they've bumped over gravel campground roads or boondocked. I'd like to see how those two things really hold up. I wouldn't put either in the rigs...but if they work long term I'd keep an open mind.

Awesome! An improvement to your build would be an extension to fill out the space above the cab. That way you end up with way more space and make it more aerodynamic as well.

And they did everything they could to ensure that the wiring either fails or fails and burns everything done. No grommets or strain relief, no wire staples, wrong type of conductor, concealed junction boxes, no apparent GFCI or AFCI, etc. Oh, and no apparent fusing, unless i just missed it.And those "jack" boards, painted black? I can't wait until someone, probably a kid, walks face first into those or they snag a cyclist. I hope they have lots of insurance.

Oh wait, $4 /gal gas will add about $100 month. Not sure where you plug in for electricity, maybe can rent a campsite for $1500/month. Just hope finances were not the reason for homeless.

The way the camper looks on the outside is cool. I do agree with opportunities to include more storage space in the hidden areas. For camping, to have only a sink, a little couch for the tv & video games & a loft bed, it seems not too functional for anything else. Like cooking. I’d say if you build another one maybe add more stuff.

Awesome build. The only thing I would have done different was make it a little wider and overhang the bedsides a little more to increase the interior width allowing you to make the beds a little wider. Probably something like a 6-8 inches overhang over each side. Also would have eliminated the window where the TV is so the TV could have been wallmounted higher.

Your countertop has me concerned, because if it is pressure-treated, fencing, it could have arsenic in it. Or you might check to see what other chemicals could have been used.

I like to watch videos similar to this occasionally to see creative thinking, and problem-solving. Best wishes.

Honestly, depending on the gauge and the distance, it's probably fine. Most AC units aren't pulling more than 800w, while 500w and 750w heaters are a thing. Almost all cords can handle at least 1000w. As long as the use a gas camp stove instead of electric, I don't see that thing going beyond that 1000w limit.

I would have made the "camper" part base as you did, but then I would add the couch width on to the outside of the base 100% (instead of narrowing the interior room.) A vehicle can be up to 8 feet wide without a special permit. This would increase the size of the overall space, as well as add more room to maneuver the pickup when backing up to load the camper.

They probably wanted to keep it within the frame of the truck to not block off the side view mirrors since, inevitably, your rear view mirror will be blocked by it. Technically, you could install cameras in the truck to negate the issue but that's a rather large expense for a temporary camper. If you were planning to stay in it longer than a few days though, or even live in it as some have suggested as a solution to homelessness, I'd definitely go with your suggestion and take on the extra expense for the cameras to be safe. Bluetooth cameras mounted on each side of the camper itself could also work as security cameras with the help of an extra screen or tablet so extra bonus points if you invest a bit more. 😀👍 They also didn't mention a source of water drainage from the sink. Or how they plan to have water or power if not on a campground. I mean, you'd need some kind of powerful source of electricity to run that air conditioner off grid (especially with that dark roof) and both a clean and grey water tank, plus some kind of toilet solution for if the weather is bad and you can't just go outside. 😒 Plus, where are you going to put your stuff? 🤔 Yes, you can keep some things in the truck but you're going to want a designated spot for at least a bag of clothes each indoors. Technically, you could have the bags on the floor at night and in the top bunk during the day but that might get irritating moving that every day for long periods of time. 😌 The main problem I, personally, have with the build is lack of privacy. Curtains or blinds on the windows and door, please. Unless you're an exhibitionist, you don't want people staring at you while you change, lol. 😅

You guys were raised VERY well. You learned a skill I wish I had. I sure hate that kids don't get this kind of training in school or at home anymore. I'm hoping to get a truck but I really don't like gas hogs or want to end up with a dud. That engine has to last. My goal would be to add a camper on the back😂😂. I'd love one like yours (for only a $1,000.00).

Suggestion: extend the house to the roof of the truck and made there your beds to get more space. Use the same wood pillars to estabilize it. So when you move the truck, you'll have more free space bellow the beds.

And the front of the extension could be made into a shape that is more aerodynamic.

@@lucastostes9460 well, supposed that would just be an empty box just large enough for an extra leg room, perhaps putting a piece of rubber pad between the bottom of the extension and the cockpit roof could spread the load and avoid scratches? i have no experience in car modding though 🤷

Definitely a difference between towload and payload, weight distribution is sketchy too.

Amazing build! My only concern I haven't seen anyone else point out tho is the black supports. Especially at night, those 2x4s sticking out could prove hazardous. People in camp running into them or accidentally hitting one into something while driving just because you forget they're there.

Yes, build over cab in a angular way so that it is aerodynamic. In the end you will get far better gas mileage.

I have four grown sons, and watching you build the camper reminded me of them. Awesome-looking camper. I’d say your beds are a bit narrow, but what is camping without a little discomfort. I’m sure you guys will figure out a way to remedy that, if it bothers you enough.

@FurnitureFan 8 ай бұрын
Also, I was thinking that if they make the beds narrower, they couldn't sleep on their backs, so no snoring would happen 😁 Joking aside, the beds look very stylish as they're shaped. Maybe add hooks for clothes & bedside holders for your phones?

At 70, & being a lady with very limited building skills looks like that it would have to be another lifetime. Great job! Happy trails. 🍁🍂🐾
