Respect to whoever was behind the camera. Way above average standard.

I love this build, I have been watching DIY overland builds for about a year now, and the modularity of this one is fantastic, and would eliminate the need for two trailers, two sets of trailer licenses etc. Great job!!!

Great build and well thought out design. I love that it is removable from the trailer, too.

I like the simplicity and neat design. Building cabinets and adding a bunch of stuff just makes it harder to maintain and repair or upgrade. It's good. I like it.

Clean simple and well executed. I like that you didnt' go nuts with features and overload it. Great trailer choice.

Well now I KNOW my droid phone is listening to me. We watched a couple of DIY tear drop builds today and I remarked "I don't know why someone wouldn't just build a box on skids to slip into a 5x8 landscape trailer." I even looked up the Sure-Trac site and local dealer. Take a few hours for dinner, come back to the 'puter, and here you are! Nice idea and build!

Well done! Looks and probably functions better than a new teardrop. I’m Impressed! Nothing like custom!

Nice job on your camper build, I'm glad to see people starting to make campers that can come off the trailer. That's the way it should always have been for all campers. I liked your awnings and those doors you purchased.

Black and orange complements each other and looks great.

Very nice trailer. Looks so relaxing. I also built a low cost square drop olive green trailer military style with Pinto hitch. Built the frame and all from scratch which was fun. The cabin is a 5x8, but 6.5 x8 if axles length is added in for stability. It's a self sufficient unit with solar, 1500 watt invertor, shore power, generator electrical, and propane. If needed, it also has a small wood fire vented mini stove. Built in Interior lights with outside spot light controlled from inside due to spending lots of time in bear country. Made the door with a window, totally insulated with styrofoam. All the sliding opening windows, A small galley in the rear. It's also fairly high with lots of clearance with military trailer tires. Also put in little luxuries such as phone charge outlets, stereo, and two ways. All cooking is done outside though. Had lots of good knowledgeable help. Love going to places and looking at other trailers. It's like an idea factory. Also love the rear door on yours. The two main differences between yours and mine is the slight foot length inward angle at the rear for ditches etc but sadly, I used frame lag bolts instead of the cable idea which I like. Really nice build you did. Thank you for showing your build to us.

Great build! You certainly have something there to be proud of. I like your simplicity in your choices in regard to amenities. My wife would love the color. She has an orange jeep and we can always find it in the parking lots.

Thats a sweet build. I like the height. Much nicer than most builds I seen on KZfaq.

This is really well thought out and the most functional ones I've seen. Great job!!

This is too cool, congrats on the great build.

Nice camper, leaving your trailer to having a duel purpose. I’m into everything except the entrances of climbing over steel side railing. Being a little older I’d need to build an attachable side step to enter safely. Great job👍

Excellent build. It has been a thought of mine for a long time to have a trailer like yours with a slide in camper. I wondered about doors that make you climb over the trailer sides, you don't seem to have any difficulty. Yours is the first of this concept I have seen on KZfaq, and exceptionally well done.

I really like the idea of the camper pod’s removable from the trailer!

Great build. You do good work. My only additions would have been a max air vent and A/C unit. Thanks for sharing the build.

Very Creative, Very Clever, and looks Very Comfy Too! Awesome job to the both of you! I also think it’s pretty damn cool, that you decided to take it apon yourselves to actually take on constructing something like this , that not too many people out there are doing …So!.. “KEEP ON! KEEPIN ON”!

I'm glad you explained what you can do with the level. I was on the edge of my seat in suspense.

Looks great. I've been working on one nearly identical with solar for power. I like the idea on securing to the trailer. I've been back and forth on the best way to do it myself and like what you've done.

Nice, simple design, & clean. Well executed!

Gives me some really good ideas! But I would definitely go with an air conditioner, and larger windows. Much larger!

Clean, simple and effective!! Love it.

You've done a great job with your camper. Looks very nice

Great build simple yet totally functional and looks very comfortable. A great platform for anyone to copy then modify to fit their personal needs.

Before i even watched this video i had the same idea to get a trailer and put on a camperpod on top. Therefor i don't alter the trailer and it stays same for the technical control we have here in Belgium. Thanks for the awesome video. Happy camping

Hi there, very nice build, clean & simple. As you mentioned somewhere, there are not many ideas reg removable 'pods' , I am looking forward to the loading- unloading video. Hopefully you'll get the chance to weight both the trailer and the pod.

you guys are the best. been looking for this kind of design. i think we are brothers from another mother. ANSWERED ALL MY QUESTIONS. MY CONFIDENCE LEVEL IS COMPLETE

turned out great, smart idea to make it removable for sure.

ooo a flip down table on the sides would be super handy for cooking and stuff

I like this far better than most teardrops. More room means not feeling like you're sleeping in a coffin.

Fantastic job guys. Enjoyed that.

Great idea... like the on.. off and still have a trailer for multi use... great work... Michigan here... i may have to build one myself... Happy cramping

This is a neat package! I have considered doing something much like this. But a slightly different configuration. To gain additional interior room, I would bump out the sides a bit over the side top rails to extend the width to nearly the outside of the fenders. Then maybe add running boards to the sides of the trailer in front of and or behind the wheels for additional storage capacity of items which always seem to find themselves coming along and taking up space inside of the camper. Things like tools, shovels, axes, buckets, blocks, nicknacks or whatever.

That looks awesome . Hope you have many trips with it . We built a trailer just to carry all our camping gear and kayaks but you don't sleep in it . Also added a bike rack to the rear . Took it to Arizona and Utah in April . Had a great time . Good luck with yours .

Terrific build, you did a great job.

Very nice build and idea for making it removable!

Very nice build to the both of you. Been looking to build my own for a couple of years now but wanting a good design to follow and so far yours is tops!

Nice job! Really like the idea of a removable unit. Very nice👍

That’s awesome! Nice build man!

Lovely build! Great work.

Love your shirt! I'm originally from Detroit. Grew up there then late 80s early 90s we moved north for obvious reasons and now I'm in the PNW but Michigan is still home.

Nice design. Simple but very efficient.

Your video came up as a KZfaq recommendation. Looks like you did a good job. Pretty good idea about making it removable.

What a great Idea I like it. more room and multi purpose.

Man that is such a great build. Good to see another Michigander on KZfaq.

Nice size trailer and very practical ..building the teardrop is time intensive with the curved components . I would be happy with a totally square design and have a seperate section attached to front on the A frame which is tapered and shaped for better wind resistance and giving room for batteries, and storage for other components loike camp toilet and even a water tank . But definitely an awesome design !!!!

Really nice job, bro. Love the orange paint too. Looks pro!

Nice looking camper. Love the design

Beautiful built. Very practical

Now that's smart, removable off trailer.

Really like a lot of your ideas. Love the orange color. Like the back storage that’s not a kitchen, never liked the rear kitchens. Great job thank you for sharing.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing, happy trails.

This is what I've been looking for, thanks for the ideas.

Great video! Love how you built this camper.

Nice camper pod, well done!

Excellent build 👍 Thank you for shearing 👍 Safe and happy travels 🙏❤️🙏 Love from Iceland 🇮🇸 🦋🦋🦋

I love this build. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for this. A realistic build, have fun

Thanks for showing us the inside

Your rock!!! This is the best concept I have seen. I will look more into this. I would like to build one myself, sky is the limit for customization.

Very cool camper. Very well thought out.

Pretty slick. Simple too.

Great job, don't let anyone tell you different.

Very creative, nicely done.

Very slick, well done guys.

Perfect! So well done - Thanks!

Beautiful,human creativity!

Great vid, I like the simple design. I have almost the same trailer, so this would work pretty well for what I need - carrying a sunfish sailboat atop the camper.

Very cool excellent job!!! You should be very proud!!

Awesome build and video!

impressive build, good stuff, some one taught you great skills and you applied them in this build.

Nice job! I also considered doing a removable pod, but scored a great deal on a frame. Building a traditional style teardrop. Keep us updated on how the raptor liner holds up. I saw another brand used on an expedition homebuilt, and the wood expansion/contraction caused TONS of little splits in the liner. It just didn't have any elasticity. I love the option for some future builds I have in mind, but obviously it needs to hold up!

Sure appreciate the lead on Vintage Technologies. Been looking for a reasonably priced window for some time.

Just came across your channel! Very cool trailer you made! Congrats on this amazing accomplishment :-) Really love the fact that you can take it off and use the trailer for other things!

Very nice, I have many questions but I too want to go back and watch your process

Great camper build!

Been thinking of doing something similar. This is very inspirational thanks!

Wow that’s awesome love the mattress then turn into couch that is slick I need one of those for the back of my pick up truck camper appreciate you sharing awesome job on the build I did it, I subscribed I’ll be watching for more super cool

Great build !!!

I'm about to start on one for my 6x8 trailer. I like your ideas a lot.

Alot of nice ideas, the best ( for me at least ) the color. Love that orange. It's the color of mine also.

Nice video, your very talented man, your trailer looks great, works well for you!

Very nice! Great video! Great sleep pod!

Well done I really like your design on it.

Simple and efficient, sweet setup ❤

Very good build, thanks for the video.

Nice trailer looks like you did a good job building it? And then with the other trailer, good idea! Right on that's the way to do it!

I've been thinking of doing one of these for a couple years now. Basically the same ideas you have for the most part. Thanks for the vid! I'm from Shelby twp MI.

Thanks for sharing and nice build!

Nice build there brother 👌. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

I have the same trailer and have been wanting to do something very similar! You just motivated me! Thanks!

it looks great, I like the bed couch setup too and the headroom inside, plus 2 side doors

Nicely done video and nice build.

Absolutely fabulous build thanks for sharing.

this is the best i've ever seen

This is pretty slick!

Nice build ! I've been considering building one basically like it . Thank you much.✌
