Thanks for watching guys! I’d love to get your feed back and ideas for this build! Feel free to drop some comments and let the ideas flow!

I enjoyed all your previous camper builds so I can tell you I am excited to watch this new project/series!!

Looking forward to the build journey. Thanks for taking the time to share it with us!

This is going to be epic! Can’t wait for the plans to be available.

We'll always watch whatever you build! Thanks for sharing your welding thought process, too! Can't wait to watch it all come together.

Looking forward to your upcoming project can't wait

Great series- thx

Discovered because of the 80. Enjoyed the last pod trailer. This looks along the lines of that trailer?

Best of luck with the build. I’m looking forward to watching !

Your design looks great! I'm excited to see the finished project.

Looking forward to this build. You have a great plan for it

I really enjoyed your micro camper build and I'm planning to build something very similar myself. I look forward to this series as well.

Best of luck to you!👍🏽. I am about to start my trailer camper build. Thanks for the inspiration

Sick!

I followed the same path a couple years ago, excited to learn TIG welding to build an aluminum cap for my truck, with the same results as you. I gave up. Though I have plans in the future to try again. Looking forward to following along.

This looks super sweet I’m excited to see everything you implement! I’m very far from an expert so take this with a grain of salt but I also used MiG aluminum for my first project recently and definitely really struggled compared to steel. I found the welder settings were far more particular than steel where I can mostly adjust on the fly but by the end of the project I had become somewhat competent especially after writing down what settings I had gotten decent welds for each joint type as well as each wall thickness. Like you I had decent looking welds pretty much right out the gate on flat bar and if I could do it over I would have tried to get all my settings dialed for each and all joint types as well as material thicknesses that would be used in the project especially for the thinner stuff. All that being said I’ve had no problems with the even my worst looking welds and definitely think MiG is a good choice.

looks good! i got an F150 that i have the base built for. the plan was to design it in a way that the pop up top could be removed when not in use and the base is a truck rack for hauling stuff. life happened and im still figuring it out, but looking forward on how you plan to tackle some of the design challenges and put your own spin on it.

Please share the software name for the drawing (model sketch)

Very cool, John! I'm totally excited about this build. Should make for very compelling content. Thanks for sharing with all of us. PS- Including a link to your website on the channel might direct more traffic to merch. Humbly sayin 😉

Really interested in watching this series; I’ve also been intrigued by learning aluminum MIG welding with a spool gun. You’re giving me encouragement to give it a try. Is that model you’re showing built in Sketchup? Do you model it on the iPad or or in the computer and just display it there for the video? I’ve tried teaching myself Sketchup but can’t quite get the hang of it. Would welcome if you have any helpful resources for learning it or whatever programs you’re using. I think a lot of my own builds would be modeled similarly. Keep it up man!

Love the design you going with. Just wondering what software are you using on the iPad? Thx

This is going to be good! What program on the IPad are you using for the design?

What is that program you use to lay out your designs?

Just curious, Why are you going from an off road trailer to a truck camper?

Are you done yet? 😜
