Great idea! These old pop ups are a dime a dozen. Good way to re-use.

What a GREAT, ORIGINAL idea!! Y'all are AMAZING!! THANKS for sharing....😃😷👣

You're roof idea was spot on! Plus, Character is a given!

You guys were very fun to watch, and you really gave me some great ideas for my project , I'm from sc. Just purchased a old pop up for a hundred bucks ty for your video

There aren't enough thumbs up I can press for this. So talented

That looks ausome ,what a great idea turning a pop up into an actual cabin .I love it gave me a lot of great ideas ,excellent job thanks for sharing Dale

This video deserves way more likes! I'm super impressed by your orderly process for disassembling and designing

Hey hi there guys!! I was suggested this video for i went down the referbished camper rebuilds...i love this idea of the old pop ups getting a new life!! Fantastic...i think everyone in all familys had one of these at one time...lol...great Job you too!!

You two are simply rambunctious! Just when I thought I'd seen every kind of conversion you blew it right out of the water. Am smiling a lot right now. Wow just does not describe the feeling!!

just a great idea! looks like you enjoyed doing the project. Thanks for sharing & enjoy the new hide-a-way

This is my dream with a smaller version! Thank you for this video! 😁💕

DIY’s are the best because you did it your way.🥰

What a great idea! Never thought of making a pop up into a little upright camper!

Mike your a genius. I'm currently converting our pop-up to a hard-side camper. I wanted to use the door from the old camper. I stood the walls today and tomorrow I'm going to see if the slides will work like they did for you. I will be pulling mine around so the build is a bit different but thank you for the content on the door.

Nice job on the little new tiny house that u made. U guys did a great job on that little pop up. Enjoy it for years to come!!!

This is Awesome! Giving me all kinds of new ideas to cheaply (?) improve the shelter situation at my property (read: make the wife hate me.) lol Seriously though, This video series is helping us brainstorm so much. Seems way easier, and affordable than the usual shed-to- cabin setups you see. Thanks Tons!

I love what you did with that camper. It looks great. I'm a new subscriber. I lived in the lower peninsula of Michigan for 7 years and never once ventured over the Mackinaw bridge into the U.P. Heck, I've never even seen the bridge. Now I'm living in Florida and am looking at purchasing a pop up to live in fulltime. I wish I had "his" skills. Excellent craftmanship (and craft-woman-ship too)! Happy trails to you!

Hello friends, I love it. I'll think about converting my pop up too. thanks for sharing your adventure😊

Awesome video. We did this also, spring of 2019. Our tent trailer is a 1967 Nimrod. We incorporated the slide out beds into the construction. We used it a few times last summer, not completely finished. Hope to get it completed this year. Love it!

From one Michigander (I'm in the thumb) to another. Great job you guys.

Loved the video and the energy!! Can’t wait to see more from your channel

Great job you two old dude can still get it done very nice cheers

The triangles would have been great left clear as windows. A lot of work done, hope you can enjoy it soon!

Wow what a great job guys. Can't wait to see part 2 👍🙋😁

Not only is he handy & smart but he's also handsome to boot. You go girl !!!

What a brilliant idea!

Nice video, and you two make a great team

Just my opinion, I have done 3 of these and if you use the original roof it has steel poles in every corner. I jack it up and framed in between the corner poles. I also used 2x3s and saved a ton of weight. Plus all that lumber on the roof could make that very top heavy.

This died came back to life ..popup. Micro home even better second time around .... Thanks for sharing....

You guys did great, turned out nice so far, will be waiting for part 2. :-)

You guys did an awesome job.. I'd rather have that than a new trailer you built it nice. Thumbs up!!

Oh my God it's so cute

Mike is an amazing husband and builder! Ain’t nothing more sexier than a man with a hammer and a plan! 😀! You go girl!

Beautiful 🦋

Lucky that wasn't me. A night in the lumber yard cuz I can't whistle. 😂

Nice job on the build. The sloped roof is genius. I'm doing a new build on a 4 x 8 trailer but mine will have multi-purposes from hauling my golf cart and other things as well as a camper with fold down beds, a bed area slide out, tables, etc. and the roof will be a pop top but with hardboard and poor man's fibergalass so I can lift it with my bad shoulders.It will also have a drop down deck that will be used as a shower room.

Attempting this on my 80s pop up camper. Loved the video as it helps us a lot

I'm doing something similar but I'm beefing up suspension and reinforce frame just a tad using the original roof since it's real light

It looks pretty amazing. Y'all did such a terrific job on your micro camper.

Nice job,not sure why this popped up,but kinda funny as i owned a mobile rv service and the company name was happy campers.retired now and been thinking about doing something like this to use when we go 4 Wheeling.i'm all about repurposing

You can paint the mismatched roofing panels if you care to. Talk to an experienced paint store for a good brand in your area. I painted mine 2 Alaskan winters ago and even with sliding snow, the paint looks great. Good luck

Need to see the finished product!! So cool!

Now go make some great memories is your master piece congrats greetings from NC

another great antique vehicle saved!

I've been thinking about doing something similar. Ty for posting

Wow that popup is looking good especially for amateurs. I want to do that... well anyway I like watching you do it

That plywood was worth a small fortune

So amazing! Who would have thought!!

Wow this is an awesome use of a pop up! I never thought of using it like this ... Can't wait to see part 2! Hint Hint ;)

Great job guys🙏💙☯️♾️☮️🕉️

labor of love! that was a great project and what a payback when finished....

when cutting metal, take a circular saw, reverse the blade (wood cutting) and it cuts right through the metal.

Very cool build

I have always wanted to do this with my old pop up but do it with aluminum because it would be entirely too heavy to pull around with all of that wood for my vehicle but nice job

Really nice job!

SO cute!

Nice going Mikey. Tick tock , tick tock retirement's calling.

As you guys had mentioned "road worthy" before moving it thru the yard, I had thought you guys had plans to take it on the road, and I cringed. Thoughts of what that axle was rated for and a good stiff crosswind were terrifying. Then I read the comments and thankfully found out that you guys had planned for it just being on the property. Whew! I felt I dodged a bullet there cuz I drive a tractor/trailer for a living and did NOT want to share the road with that! I enjoyed it tho! I hope to do something like this with my wife and myself soon, as I'm approaching the mid-century marker. Loved how you both had so much fun, and I'm certain there were some frustrating moments edited out as well! Ha! Thanks for sharing!

I recently picked up a "Freebie" of my own... Carpenter Ants DESTROYED the All the Canvas, but the 'Utilities' were still in good shape....so here comes the RE-MOD

I like it..you certainly built it to handle the snow..

most campers like me go to the Smoky mountains for all the fall months

Fantastic video

Congrats that looks much better👍👍

Love your little cabin!

You all worked fast! Great job.

Awesome build

Good job

Great idea

New Sub; Dryden, MI Really Cool! Our Family Camper since the late 90s has reached its end, It's a 8/10 Family: I was looking into doing something of this nature to pull up to Grandpas\Dads\Now My Property in Tustin until I can figure out what to build on the small property which had a single wide trailer since the '60s: its been vacant property for a while now.

That thing will be so heavy .hope the axle is rated to your favor. Good luck.

I would love to see more people try this, it would be worth trying with an aluminum frame shed added to part of it's over all structure. Just curious how that would fare.

Cool build. Nice

I like it. I would have kept it lighter weight by reusing the old roof on a new alittle less weight frame... an found some tent canvas to redo that on the sidewalls like before halfway up to the hard fiberglass roof...

Loved this...any more videos

PALAMINO, kool, got one too.

Cool build! Glad its not out on the road tho and I hope people watching dont try to build one expecting it to go cross country. Its probably 7 times heavier than it was rated for.

Awesome, thanks for sharing

I turned an old pop up into a mobile chicken coop. I can load it up to take the birds to the processor. They don't have to spend time smashed into small crates before going to freezer camp giving them a much better end.

Subscriber #661. Didn't want to be the triple 6er. Love from Florida. ♥️🎈♥️

What is the finished weight of your camper? All that wood looks heavy but the metal roof is a good idea. I just hope your axle can handle it.

Great video and inspiration. I have a camper I plan to remodel and was thinking shed roof also.

How does the trailer hold up under the weight of the wood (dry weight and loaded) ? TYVM

I love it. I would have done it different but that's kinda the point right?

Cool build and idea....question is did you have to do anything to the stock trailer axle to safely support all the extra weight from the wood ? ...and was it hard to secure the wood from moving back and forth like typical pop up campers do....thanks

Very kool

Nice

My question is can a tires handled that much weight second question is have you guys taken this out and does it tilt or is it balanced I mean how did you balance it out I'm about to do the same thing that's why I'm asking

Great job

How was the weight when you finished, does the popup frame support this well?

Did about the same project used 2 by 2 lumber to keep the weight down the tires and axel are way overloaded with all the 2 by 4's might be top heavy. A very nice job tho....

Love the way you reused all the windows and slides uncle mike I see where I get my ingenuity from! It must have rubbed off on me a little when we were kids! Lol love the videos keep them coming! Love the DIY stuff, you both are so creative so what’s the next project after you have your little Micro camper getaway done? We could always use a few extra hands on our bus build. Looking forward to some cooler weather so we can get back to work on our build. Hint hint... lol

Great, good idea. Interesting video. But I am very worried that this trailer is not designed for such a weight, you really overload it. I'm afraid for you if you go out on it on freeway

How has it helped up with weather, Highway use, etc? We have a pop up that the canvas is shot and we’re looking to build it up to something similar to this!

Love the job you are doing but I would not tow very far as the axle rating and tire rating are overloaded. Fine for a fixed location with just moving a mile or two.

I'm a roofer. Y'all need high temp underlayment for the steel roof

I was going to comment on the excessively loud music and the vertical recording of the video but everyone else beat me to it! Really folk's, I enjoy your content! Keep making videos! Just turn the camera a little bit and get rid of the background music, you don't need it!!

A cement blade in your skill saw makes it easy to cut metal.

Don’t the critters come in from underneath as well? I may have missed the solution to plugging underneath?? Alllll holes. They do an amazing bit of damage don’t they? Great bidro

Hi, this is genius and gorgeous transformation 👏🌸. What type of wood are you guys using if I may ask. Not sure if I missed it.. Thank you in advance :)

How is your build holding up? I would like to do something similar.
