Thank you for sharing Bev.

You aren’t even done and this is already the best build quality of a removable truck bed camper I’ve seen.

I believe YOU can do anything. Looking forward to seeing this through.

This young man is amazing

"If it's not one thing or another!", Now this creativity has me wanting to contruct my own travel trailer with the exception of the trailer frame, tires, & suspension! Thanks DualEx for all your DIY's projects w/basically detailed instructions!

Thank you for wearing safety glasses. Your setting a great example to the people. Most people don't wear them & they will get a sliver of wood/medal in there eye & then there spending thousands of dollars & time @ the ER. Your a leader of the pack. Great job & Thank you very much, "Chris"tina from Missouri

NEW SUBSCRIBER, and excited! I don’t know where you have been. I’m 64 years old and pretty darn handy. We grew up dirt poor that’s probably why I know how to work on stuff. I love what you said. I didn’t know anything about XYZ till I started doing it ..something along that line. Superior teaching skills. Learning to do stuff yourselves is sometimes finding the right person on KZread that can teach. I just started learning how to rivet and work with aluminum… It is surprisingly forgiving and easy to work with. Thank you and I’m looking forward to learning a lot from your videos, my friend.

I really enjoy watching this.young man remodeling these vehicles. He is so creative in everything do, it's amazing.

loving the chill music

I'm so happy to see you switching to a different medium material.

Easily one of the most practical, inspirational, intuitive, and instructive videos on KZread. Gotta gitterdone on an older (mature) Chevy 1/2 ton. Thanks!

Showing how creative you are is exceptional. Just from taking some courses and now offering others to learn. You are amazing!

Fantastic job working around the limitations of tools at hand! I've been thinking about making a camper for my truck and decided to check out how other people have gone about it. Your video is my favorite so far on this topic.

they make an acid flux for the alum soldering that when properly applied it really makes it go easier and a better bond, I'm a retired machinist/repair guy and we had the expert come out back in the day and demonstrate the way to make sure the customer had best possible product, no call backs

HF has a decent air gun for pop rivets not too expensive, they hold up pretty well, mine is about 15 years old and still no sign of quitting. saves your fatigue factor on the big jobs

I find your method of brazing the joints with the aluminium filler rods to strengthen them in addition to the riveted 'L' brackets to be quite inspired thinking! Your method of filing a vee channel at the joints to allow a greater bonded surface area is also very clever. Likewise, cutting a channel in the sheet metal to bend it rather than shear it gives a stronger, waterproof and neater result. Your meticulously precise detailing and suberb craftsmanship are evident in everything that you have done and are a joy to see. You inspire your viewers to construct for themselves and give excellent and informative information. Thank you for taking the time to produce excellent videos, I will use your riveting and brazing technique in the fabrication of my amphibious bicycle camper (including the use of Sikaflex to bond the sheet aluminium to the frame before it is riveted).

I love to see you work and try new things. Can't wait to see Part 2!

Your can do attitude is evident!!! So glad to see young men "stretching" their wings and broadening their horizons and building up their skill set!!!

Dude is slick...so much talent. Great work

I love the intelligent forethought to your design. I look forward to seeing your progress.

Love this idea! Don't know if you were planning on doing it but you should also "weld" the corners to help support them since they were cut. They will be the first tings to go after some time. Keep it up and can't wait to see how it turns out

Love this, I've built 3 wooden campers. 2 tow campers and one truck camper. I'm about to start my 4th and I may just go Aluminum! Great job

You are fantastic! I will try this out too, thank you so much! I love how you use the file in one direction. So many guys do the filing back and forth, your technique is great.

It's a little more expensive, but using huck bolts instead of rivets would make it a lot stronger/more rigid. Curious as to how you intend to mount the camper frame to your box - stake hole pockets, or clamps to the bed rails? Also, maybe consider some sort of foam or rubber gasket between the camper frame and your bed rails.

I’ll take a look into the huck bolts. Thanks for the tip! I’m going to be starting off with truck bed “C” clamps and eventually using bolts to hold the camper down to the truck bed

you need access to both sides for Huck bolts, but yeah they're way stronger.

damn... this is giving me ideas.. a bed frame made out of 1x1 aluminum with a geometrical design

Dualex we’ve been waiting and anticipating!!! Perfection, can’t wait to see the rest of the series! Well worth the wait 😁

Looking really good can't wait to see more of the build.

This looks absolutely legit! Sick job so far man. I can’t wait to see what you put in it electronics wise!

I am planning to build a tiny home on a one ton flat deck. I found your channel and I am impressed with your work. I used to be a welder 50 years ago and I plan to use a tig, but your gas technique looks good. Good luck in the future.

WOW! this looks awesome!! I can see you incorporating aluminum in future van/camper builds. Hey, we saw how your progression with wood turned out so it’s only natural to move onto aluminum. At least to keep weight down, if nothing else. AWESOME JOB!

thanks

This build is incredible! Pure genius! And you’ve done a beautiful job with the videography and editing. I have to admit that I watched your final walkthrough video first so I know how it ends. Amazing!

Just beautiful. Lovely work!

Can’t wait to see more!

This is borderline genius. I have a couple of projects in mind that will go next level with this technique. Great stuff!

Seeing a new upload from you made my morning.

This is exactly what I've been looking for to fabricate a lightweight topper for my work truck. Thanks for making this vid; you've got a new subscriber.

Great job looking forward to the next phase to see how it all ends up .

You, my dear, have amazing sic skills…already I can’t wait to see the next videos! It turned out better than I imagined, great job!💕

So cool. Great job. Always look forward to your builds. Thanks for sharing.

I love binge watching his videos because i am learning a lot..

Looks great. You may want to consider panel bond for the panel to frame connection in addition to rivets. Will seal and add a lot or rigidity. Great job.

Sweet. Can't wait!

Keep up the great work! Watching with great interest and you work away through your projects.

BRILLIANT MATE...

Super talented individual and I know I'm a crashman and I know I'm a crashman 50 years

Ánimo! Seguro que queda genial!

the biggest issue I see being possible is water proof-mess, especially now that you're up north and will have snow/ice to deal with. But looks really nice so far.

This is going to be so sick. Can't wait to see more

My favorite DIY builder. Great work man.

I'm always impressed with what you do!

OMG!!! I love, love, love this.

Smart. Looks alright in my book. can't wait to see where this goes!

Can’t wait to see the finished look 👏👍🙌🙏

Muito legal!!Vou fazer p minha caminhonete aqui no Brasil.

This is just what I would like to build for my Tundru!

Dude!! Very impressive! Your understanding of the geometry involved in building the frame and bending the diamond plate so it fits exactly right is impressive. Great start to the build. On to the next video. Thank you!

Dude, your desire to learn and creativity is inspiring. Love it! Keep up the badass learning and growth brother!

Respect

Really nice work young man, you serve as a great inspiration to all of us that follow your project vidoes. Keep up the great work.

Nice..... always a pleasure to watch and learn from someone who's learning as well as teaching.....easy on the 👀 too 😏

80/20 for the win. Lot easier and even more configurable for this purpose.

Well done Sir!

When you said 50LBS ......that definitely makes me rethink getting a fiberglass shell.......btw The dog in the video is essential. Lol DIY mascot.....

Looks amazing, was impressed with the trailer build. this is also great

Absolutely loved this build, glad I found the channel!

You are so talented, you never cease to impress. 👍🏾👍🏾

I enjoy watching you try different methods for building these campers and thought the ultimate bed was great in the first van. Just to throw something out there - the old Rialta RVs had a nifty bathroom that slid out - take a peek at some of the KZreads on them - each side has a release button, handles, and you pull the wall forward on sliders. Just an idea that may spawn more creative stuff.

Very Clean!

Looks nice. You have the most creative mind.

Great job on the build keep up the good work.

Beautiful work 👍🏽

Thank you for the inspiration to try something new as I an planning something like your build on my Jeep Gladiator.

Man I’m a contractor been running a company for 8 years and I have to say your work is very very clean!!!! Keep it up and if your interested in building houses and wanna learn some great advice from Larry haun and the you tube channel essential worker!!!

Well done.

Awesome build! Video gave me a few ideas and incentive to do in aluminum rather than wood. Thanks so much. Great video

You rock with your creative & industrious abilities -love your builds and am enjoying this concept with a canopy & rooftop tent idea -exactly what I want to do but more of a foam canopy/rooftop camper for my small truck but would love to try your idea of brazing the aluminum tubing & use your methods -thanks for making it look so inviting to try -awesome work 🎉

Dude, well done! You gave me some great insight and ideas to use as tools in my own build. Thank you for sharing.

Your fab work is off the chain! Awesome content!

Awesome job! Looks great!

Very cool design!

I began to love your work from the beginning. Remember to put a rubber seal between the truck n camper. You can also bend your tubing 90 by cutting a 45 then bend it like you did the metal siding then add a 90 to the inside like you did. I was also thinking of getting a older 8ft aluminum camper n cutting it down. I have a truck like your's.

great stuff, love your dedication man. Keep it up

Your work is great 👍. Thanks for posting your projects ! 😃✌️

Fabulous idea!

I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us b

always taking it up a notch bro love these

This is really cool and i like the design

Nice work and the corners look real nice.

Very very impressed

Hey, that’s a great idea for the truck! Keep your creative juices flowing…👍🏽

I’ve been waiting for this 🙌🏼🔥

Very nicely done. I built an aluminum no weld camper using t-slot aluminum aka 80/20, expensive stuff but very strong. Had I seen this video first, I would have used your method.

Awesome project

Very nice!!! Aluminum is most awesome stuff!

That is awesome, who would've thought.....

well done thats alot more work than most people know

Dude bravo! That turned out extremely well and looks great on your truck. Kinda reminds me of a Diamondback tonneau cover.
