Wow you have given me so many Inspirations for my future teardrop build! My biggest thing is I want to learn the aluminum skinning good because that is what makes it pop and look like one you bought off a dealer! You had way more info than many people do! So you obviously really look like you know what you're doing, can I ask why a Kreg Jig? And why use glue(nails or gorrilla?) and Nails (brad?) instead of screws everywhere?

@SouthernGinger 3 жыл бұрын

Oh good happy to inspire you to try something new and different. Pocket holes are your friend in cabinetry style work. It's very hard to line everything up from the outside and screw from there so I used pocket holes from the inside if that makes sense. As far as glue and brads, depending on what I was trying to do or hide I would use either one. No glue was used on the cabinetry work but I did use glue to hold down the wood ceiling and roof because I wanted as much support as possible. Also used brads there so they would not be noticeable when you're sleeping and staring at the ceiling haha. Cheers and good luck!

Brother where to start? First, how did I miss this - awesomeness! Second: The tactical tool vest: must have (along with my fac tape measure on the front because I write everything down on it), third: the orange highlights inside the wheels are a great touch. 4th: you know when you open the new phone box and it is so built to spec the phone has trouble coming out until the air pressure equalizes? Yeah, that's your Colman stove storage! Really outstanding...but I am a LITTLE disappointed you didn't CNC some special highlights into the cabinetry or the like. But that's a quibble: awesome build, awesome editing and video production. This was Really Cool!!!

Very very cool. I redid an old German camper and I definitely know about having blood sweat and tears into something. This is really beautiful. Can I just ask about the black paint? Why black? Does it get hot in there as a result? How's the humidity in the trailer when parked at home? I'm genuinely interested because I'm tired of the boring traditional camper colors. Beige, white, grey, burgundy,... Boooooring colors.
