Nice. I would had painted it to match the truck.

Hell to the yeah! Good job.

With the locking latch that you have chosen, please keep in mind the potential for people to be mischievous...when you are going inside for the night, be sure to put the lock into the clasp to prevent someone from putting the clasp onto the eyebolt and "inconveniencing" you. Very nice simple build.

Very cool, I'm looking to do a camper on my 1 ton flat bed so this helps tons, thanks!

Very cool camper, I like the design! I've been weighing my options and really like this set up

nice

Very neat!!! I built a mini camper on a trailer a few years ago. I love seeing different ideas and styles, GREAT job!!

Brian Geist Thank you sir!

I’m thinking about building one, I like the shelf idea, I think I’ll have to incorporate that into my build,

Kick ass and awesome . You could put storage drawers in the floor. I'm going to build one soon.

Hi . Great channel, project & semi finished truck camper.

Awesome build. How did you load it in?

HOW do you load it and off-load it? Nice Job. I want to build one for my Toyota Tacoma long bed.

What's the approximate weight and cost? Nice build!

you could make it so it fits on a uhaul railer or the back of a truck bed.dual purpose build.you could pull it behind a car on a small triler or in a truck box.

I like it. I like it A LOT! Wheels be a turning....🤔

What trim did you use around for the roof??

Suggestions : use netting to hold stuff on shelf...………..put a piece of plywood on the floor that hinges 1/2 way up the bed ; gets bedding out of th way so you can put toys or coolers while traveling , you might want to put a huge drawer the size of the bed floor under the bed .

Thanks! Good ideas.

the best part is that it fits your sons jeep :). i didnt angle my roof because i figured that the roads arent very level :)

What did you use for the roof how did you Seal it.

You can put a truck rubber mat under and the camper won't move. Great job

That's a good idea, but it would make it almost impossible to load, since I slide it in.

I want to build one on my step side Ford Ranger

This is a cool build man. We should park LoveHut4Life near it one day and do a video or 2

Thanks! I don’t see why tite bond 3 wouldn’t work, I used 2, because I seen that it worked good. I’m not sure about the rhino liner.

So question I want to build one like this after you cover the wood with the canvas what glue did you use and do you just paint it after and your good to go?

@rowerwet

Poor man's fiberglass doesn't need glue, find some exterior house paint from the oops rack, roll it on super thick, then lay the canvas into the paint and smooth it out. Fill the fabric with more coats of paint until it remains shiny wet after a few minutes, then paint with the color you want He used titebond II wood glue

Would you use titebond 2 or titebond 3 now on the cotton

Where did you get the windows, and what model are they?

From an RV dealership. One is a Lippert, the other is a Winnebago.

could you post the messurements or the plans for the build?

Get some gas struts for your door, that would be awesome.

How is this holding up? I'm curious because Titebond 3 is the exterior glue and you said you used Titebond 2.

@Dicks4x4Garage

I think they are both exterior, but it’s holding up well. Still using it.

@@Dicks4x4Garage Good to know. Thanks man.

I could have built two frames with all the lumber. It way to heavy wood. Seriously, those beams could have been half the thickness and you still would have a strong and solid structure foundation.

I believe you would have gotten more space, a lighter build and more usage had you built it as a cap. Definitely would have more floor space. Just have the tailgate but up to it, lock the tailgate from inside with a pin. Nice looking build, but I think you are selling yourself short.

Where does everybody source their windows and doors. I would like to find a door that is 48-60” tall max.

Also...looking for good dome type lights that work off aa or aaa batteries with built in switches. Wish I could find those solar powered one piece exterior lights but with a switch instead of a sensor. May have to modify stuff. Funny thing is that I am an electrician, but don’t want to complicate my future build with a charge controller, large battery, large solar panel, wiring, water pump etc. Just something like the micro campers that are no wider than the bed of my 1/2 ton pickups, with a comfy bed, insulation, basic storage and so on for mostly solo 1-4 night trips.

We just use battery powered tap lights for interior lighting, I got them at harbor freight, they have three levels and swivel to aim the beam. I build my own windows, search for "Wiley window"

as long u ike t all that matters

Looks heavy

Why not save the labor on toutside, instead of sanding, glueing, use spray on or roll on, bed liner, ur choice of color, use aluminum angle to do all edges it’s 3m putty type weather sealer, no fabric, no sanding, no gluing, Shalom!

@Dicks4x4Garage

It’s a good thought and I had thought of that as well. After some research I found that people who used it on micro trailers had problems with it no sticking to the wood and basically creating a shell on the exterior that overtime started to crack.
