Building the Walls & Ceiling for my Pop up Rooftop Tent | Overland Truck Camper ep. 6
In this episode of the overland truck camper build series, I build the walls and ceiling of the pop up wedge style rooftop tent. I protected the wood on the ceiling of the interior with indoor polyurethane and I used exterior truck bed coating on the roof in order to ensure the maximum level of durability while keeping the tent structure as lightweight as possible. I also installed the roof vent and skylight in this episode and I end off the video there and will be finishing this pop up truck camper build in the next episode. Hopefully you enjoy this one. Later!

You used butyl instead of silicon 👌🏻 but you should use it with the screws to so you waterproof the holes. Here in sweden its allways raining so on my job we use more butyl than we need on the caravans / RVs and then peel the butyl that sticks out 😊 keep up the good work 💪🏻

This is looking awesome! Have you considered Dicor's LAP sealant for the fan and skylight? it may be a bit more robust than butyl tape. I use it on my RV wherever I can, and use ProFlex on every seam. Both are fantastic.

2:12 starts the actual video. Also you might think about eternabond tape around your ceiling fan/vent and skylight, that will help keep the water out in conjunction with the butyl tape you used. That and/or Dicor. Use EVERYTHING you can to seal against water. Might even consider using "Red Guard" on all your wood pieces.

@bnicholson5341 2 жыл бұрын

I’m not sure if it was the video angle, but did the skylight fit? Also, owning a clamshell style RTT, over engineer the weather proofing. There’s something about that hinge being exposed to highway speed winds, and rain that makes the water run in ways that are hard to predict. And even if it doesnt get inside the living portion, it can get stuck between the seal and canvas leading to mildew. You’ve got mad skills and are an inspiration! Keep getting it!

I just discovered your channel and am impressed by your work! I noticed that you haven't been reinforcing the joints on the tubing. Is that because this isn't going to bear as much weight or did you learn that the brazing is strong enough? I'm considering something like this for my Dakota so I'll be learning from you.

Bro!! Love the channel and your work; very talented and all your episodes are informative and entertaining!! I do have a question about the solar setup you are going with. I briefly saw you placed a flexible solar panel on the roof with it looks like Duct Tape. I’ve had quite a few of those flexible panels and they need at least an inch of clearance to breath or they will over heat and not work. If it is temporary, cool, but over time you will notice a drop in its ability and eventually stop working all together. Thanks for listening and keep up the good work!!!
