"I love the idea of being alone, disconnected from society." INSTANTLY INSTALLS TV AND AC UNIT IN CAMPER

Smuggling small children has gone to a whole new extent with this certified hood classic!

If you want to make a sturdier version, you can make the next one out of fiberglass. Super tough and extremely light too

“I was super short on time and i could barely make it” places camera on tripod for drive by shots about 10 times adding probably 20 mins to his journey 😂

20 minutes of research would have saved dozens of hours of work. No helmet, no lights, no tools, no tubes, no test rides, and a very good "hold my beer" story :-)

Not only is Chay dedicated, he's also talented like dang that camper is sick

The thing I love most about this vid is that you shared the whole process.... including the failure. So many make it all look so easy, so it's refreshing to see someone showing the bumps in the road (pun intended!)

Awesome ending. I felt your pain the whole way. And when you shared your "rule", made it to the entrance, and was able to lift your camper over the gate I was super impressed. Bravo man!

You're back with another awesome video! You definitely deserve more recognition! I felt so bad when the first camper fell and then the campsite closed. Glad you could finish! 💞

Suggestion for an upgrade which I did to mine - solid tyres on wheelchair wheels, and hitch via the rear wheel axle on the bike rather than the rack position - this will stop it tilting the bike when cornering. I ended up building a monowheel trailer to fit on my motorbike instead though.

Tip: take off and cushion the tv when traveling if you go on bumpy roads. This applies to normal campers too. I’ve broken 2 tvs on one road that was just slightly unpaved.

Man, your last line hit me to the core. I’m currently in the middle of the hardest time in my life and really needed to hear that. It’s definitely going to stick with me for a long time.❤

Bike content now this is what I love for. I love your perseverance on never giving up on these KZfaq goals. Great content

0:28 the flying tent was a nice touch! In the future might be smart to bring a pump on a 50 mile trek! Could also put a spare wheel on the back if you plan to keep using it!

The gate didn’t seem like too much of an obstacle to begin with lol. I thought it would have been much bigger. Idk seems staged at the end.. but good shit. You guys always work so hard.

I have been planning to built something like this. Most content on this subject hide poor performance and failures. This video has been most informative. I will most definitely be adding power and breaking to my trailer. Thank you.

please dont give up, your channel has huge potential and it will definitely explode one day

Dude love your content and whatever obstacles life is throwing you behind the scenes, keep your head up we all love you man and your content

Thank you for sharing this video, it was a real eye opener- i learned a lot and took notes! I am building a bike camper currently- so far only the subframe is complete. When complete, it will have more of a traditional "airstream" look. My day job is in commercial signage, so i have all the free (used) aluminum tubing and sheet i could want at my disposal. Trailer will have solid (not pneumatic) tires and hydraulic brakes. Tow vehicle is a Tern GSD ebike. Floor material will be a sandwich of fiberglassed polypropylene honeycomb and rigid foam. Should tow okay (if I stick to my weight budget) as i occasionally pull a Bikes At Work trailer loaded with 300 pounds.

The amount of dedication was impressive. When the camper fell, I would've gave up. But you didn't, you rebuilt it and even when the campsite was closed, you still didn't give up.

Not going to lie man the quality of your videos has improved soo much!!! I’ve always loved your videos but as of recent the quality has made them so much more entertaining ❤

Drew builds stuff did this too (twice actually), and he did a really good job of making it lighter and more functional while going more in depth explaining it. Granted his was heavier, but I believe that both are really cool. He used aluminum for the base, made it wider, and used different waterproof methods, but had to have an external battery for his bike. If you ever do this again I'd recommend taking some inspiration from drew builds stuff. Both of you have really amazing builds that I'd honestly love to also try to make. Might sound weird that I'd want to make my own, but I feel like I'd love it all the more if I made it exactly perfect just for me.

I don't know why, but I laughed at the tent too hard at 0:13

Thank you for being so inspirational, to never give up and keep trying something that you want to do!

LOVE this video! Keep it going, stay motivated!

I love how inspiring this video is! "On the other side of pain is growth". I love that!

Those cheap wheels are notorious for the bearings loosening up. Taking an adjustable wrench with you would have solved it. Not ideal for regular repairs, but road side like that in a pinch it works great

Your never give up dedication got me here.

Absolute legend. Been here since 18k back in 2020, keep it going bro 👊

YAYYY ive been waiting for a video for a little while ❤ thank you for posting :) the legend it backkkk i love that he never gives up no matter what ❤❤❤

Definitely some of the best, encouraging and genuine youtube's i've watched so far. And i've been stuck in bed for over a month due to bladder surgery watching youtube.

Mad respect for your dedication guys, you're the best!

Love the video! If you ever decide to upgrade you could use more wheels and the same breaks from those kids bikes on the wheels, just a thought

Love this teardrop build. So many people are doing the bicycle teardrop concept. Smart plan with the foamy shift.

Did you stage the camper falling into the creek? The wheels on the camper that you replaced the kid bike tires with 0:53 aren't the same ones on the camper when you pulled it out of the creek 2:57

Well, I’ve learned quite a few things from this video: 1. Use a motorcycle 2. Bring some tools & a spare wheel 3. Don’t install heavy stuff for a bike to pull.

Oh hey, you're back! I found your channel a couple of weeks ago through your homelessness series. I was afraid maybe you were going to post again but I still subscribed just in case. Glad I did. Have you heard of bucket bikes (by Madsen)? You could probably make something like that for a lot cheaper -- maybe even make a food/drink cart out of it and earn some money. What you came up with is such a cool concept by the way. It's sad that housing is so expensive but I could see this becoming an extreme version of a tiny house. The mindset behind why you made it is definitely a lot more positive though.

I've no clue why your channel hasn't blown up yet. This is awesome

so inspiring how little thought was put into any of this. No worries, just vibes, you gotta respect it.

I'm sorry you had so many problems, however I find it interesting you're a channel that shows the "failures" as well as the success videos. Keep on going!

4:15 you can see his phone fall LOL

Love your dedication and tenacity, but most of all love the overall message of the video, keep it up!! 🤙🏼

Love this channel. The positive messages are awsome.

I often always feel like how you feel all I can say is thank you Che for always managing to make me smile

This was fantastic! With the amount of patience I have, I probably would have quit after the first camper fell in the ditch. 😅

I have been struggling alot cuz I need teeth implants and i always feel like giving up. Your video may not get me new teeth but certainly helps my spirit. Thanks a bunch!

2:43 this is the funniest part 🤣 😂

Love your videos you really put your all into them

You could use tyres that don't require air inside if them Also you have to use 4 wheels so there isn't that much stress

Just keep pushing and know you do more than a lot of people keep going and don't stop

Awesome I love how you picked up the camper and lifted it over the gate. Lol. You did a Beautiful Job On building ❤😂

Where others would have made a simple straightforward video.. y’all took the opportunity to tell a great story. Keep it up gentlemen. Pain is the sweat of success.

After rewatching this, I gotta ask, did the Xbox, TV, and AC survive the fall into the creek?

THE LEGEND IS BACK

“On the other side of pain, is growth” Love the determination at the end💯

The tent theat just went flying 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

I think if there was a longer time frame to build the camper, it would've gone more smoothly as now you have time for prototypes and testing.

5:36 for a few seconds, i thought the bike got stolen

Way to stick with it but hopefully you learned that doing dry runs with new equipment is a good idea :) Finishing a build and planning a long trip with it untested almost always results in teething issues. Also anything much over 100 lbs is a pain to pull with a bike and you should really consider trailer breaks if your going to try. I've been considering makeing something like this myself but the general plan is to tow it around for a few miles around home and spend the night in it in my back yard once before just hitting the open road. I was thinking coroplast instead of foam

Chay makes things I would never do look fun.

Fantastic idea and nicely done, too! It was funny seeing you at the beginning adding TV and xbox to an already super heavy wooden trailer :-) but that is a core of an American way of life 😋 So I am happy you have come to your senses and remake the whole thing the way it is useful and nice.

YASSSS! Way to push your limits! Great mindset that progress is moving forward!

Nice man! Can't wait for the next video. I see this one warmed you up for it. Biking like that on a time crunch, holy crap.

If this doesn’t do as well as we hope it does then js do this but ride it coast to coast from NYC to La👀 js make sure ur have a backpack or sum to store spare wheels or someone near u at all times in case u need to reconstruct the trailer to be able to complete it

Yep, never use walmart bikes for anything- they break insanely quickly and are very poorly set up. It looked like the loose wheel was a loose hub, which wasn't due to your building skills at all. With some better wheels and tyres (and maybe insulation for colder nights) this would be amazing though and is a really cool build!

I watched this completely randomly and I'm so glad I did. Surprisingly inspirational!

"On the other side of pain, is growth"....that is soooo TRUE!!! Wise words my friend, wise words for sure.

"Im sure most of you have gone through some hard times in your life. But trust me, on the other side of pain is growth" -President Chay

Chay is finally back!!

I'm literally having a bad day and your advice comforts me. Thank you

Thx man I really needed this

I can't believe he decided to go 50 miles without a bike pump, patch kit or extra tube!

At 6:17 it’s not the wheel that’s loose it’s the bearings, since the wheel came from a cheap bike it probably wasn’t assembled right from the factory.

2:05 don't beat yourself on about. By quickly disconnecting the camper from your bike, you saved yourself from danger. She was going down and if you didn't, the situation would have been worse.

This popped up in my feed and I decided to take a break from studying. Dude. You're such a good content creator - I'm subscribing!

Yeah, you realized you wanted to build a new trailer so you dropped your old one in the ditch for more clicks. It was hilarious 😂

Cool idea! Curious if bicycle helmets are required in your jurisdiction. Might be worth noting in the description how important helmets are whenever sharing the road with vehicles.

One way i look at what others call failure is i discovered a process that doesnt work. Sometimes those are great moments because it allows you to step back and refocus/revisit your objective/pivot your strategy. Bruce lee once said that failure is a state of mind.

"And I hate tents" precedes to throw the tent

At 5:31 i thought the bike got stolen 💀

Does this build work with a normal bike? If so how would I try to build something similar to this? I like this idea

Got to hand it to you, you stuck it out. Kudos to you buddy! Thats how epic things are done: against the odds!

So awesome! Congratulations! Well done! 🎉

This is a certified hood classic

He was so genuinely happy and surprised to see you😂❤️

i really needed to see this in such a time in my life thanks man

Nice you haven’t uploaded in a while!

Looks a lot like drew builds stuff

I loved this what a great video thanks for the positive message at the end

My son and I loved the ending. Awesome job on not giving up no matter what.

If you cycle an average of 25 miles per hour, as you say at 4:10 . And you say the camping spot is 51 miles away. How can you have cycled for 6 hours and still not be there? You could cycle that distance in 2 hours. And which electric bicycle has enough power to cycle for 6 hours? I mean, I think it's kind of fake. But who am I to say that.

Haha

0:12 the tent in the background 🤣🤣👏👏

Thanks for inspiring me o build my own camper thanks love your video 👍

I feel so bad for this guy he did this for us to watch for 10 minutes let’s just think how hard this was and give hi and a clapp

Did you stage the camper falling in the creek because....

Seen some of your videos brother. All are very dedicated and Passionate to what you guys love doing. And I'm watching more! 😁

Long time ago I made a bike camper out of a pair of trikes, one was a more modern E Bike conversion, while the “camper” was made from my grandparents old 70s-80s era trikes In trailer mode it connected to the e bike with a Y yoke that hooked up to a large eye bolt i have welded to the ebike and to the front wheel yoke of the trailer. The handlebar of the trailer was turned 90 degree and half cur away, with the front handle acting as a goose neck for brake cables to the trailer wheels (really helpful on those down slopes) The seat of the trailer had been cut away so that the cargo area could be slid forward during travel When deployed as a camper the cargo area is slid back and fold down legs provide stability. For added stability it can also bolt onto the back area of the E Bike by removing its basket. The “camper itself is simply a assembled floor and an A-frame in which US Army shelter halves bolt onto BUT its what I’ve always been most comfortable with and i long learned to modify it with extra layers of shelter halves, rain proof tarp, bug netting , even movers blankets , and while I dont have a air conditioner the ridge pole can be threaded into a a length of dryer hose that is perforated and end in a small but very efficient battery powered ventilation fan. ALL of which can run off of the extra batteries that the trailer bike carries to greatly extend the range of the E bike
