Nice .. I’m making a truck camper too… yours is coming along nicely

It is looking good. Looking forward to more.

I love how you often used square dimensions for your support members. Keeps the math simple. Also, the extra length of your wood screws will add strength and prevent movement of the screws. Very clean build compared to others I've seen.

Hopp Aarau ! Beau travail et bonnes salutations de la part d'un Welsch ;-)

Awesome

Dude keep going, I need to see more of this build. Maybe explain some stuff, give some Dimensions, I'm excited to see where this build is going, so far it looks great...

Nice Dakota build. I was wondering why you offset certain beams from each other in the main structure.

@mikeredhead2894

The reason to offset certain frame members is simply to have a straight line of sight for the screw to enter, rather than toenailing on an angle.

Ok. Obviously these guys did great work. Absolutely awesome. The majority of builds I've seen on KZread really look disposable. This one by far is the most labor intensive, I have no idea what the structure weighs, it does appear to be a little on the heavier side. All in all. Fantastic job guys 👍

Hey mike, thank you so much. We put a lot of effort into this build and we still do.. The camper has has been on the road for around 20'000km and we're doing fine. With the added solar system and compressor coolbox we are looking at around 550kg total. This includes everything besides food, water and clothing.

Is that fiberglass with plain paint over the top? Veey few builders use it. I think it would be better than just plywood.

better swiss folk music than what u have in the background.!

I have a 2007 Dakota and am looking for ideas. Thanks for posting. Next time, lose the music.

Looking good - finally some glue😍👍 Are the screws used self taping or are you predrilling? Armaflex is interesting looking, a bit expensive here in canada but environmentally friendly. Cheers

i did not predrill anything so far. The armaflex stuff is really pricey too over here. i used armaflex in my first diy camper too and it really does its job.

Desculpa minha ignorância, mas é resistente a chuva ? O que eu vi todos até agora e feita de estrutura metálica

De quel façon tu attache ton campeur à ton camion ?

No glue?

Boa noite qual foi o peso final camper terminado

For all that wood, you may have to upgrade your brakes and suspension.

What size wood is that

that's going to be heavy

Should have use woodglue "lots if it "& sheet metal support at corners

Quanto ficou pesando no final

Do you have an end result on the finished weight of of the camper

Hey, yes we do. Empty weight (camper, diesel heater, electricals + battery) around 350kg. We then added all the things you need like kitchen boxes, gas cookers, cooler, matress ect, this adds up to around 450kg.

With enough vibration from road driving, those joints would come loose eventually.

Isn’t it too heavy?

@TruckHomeSwitzerland

2 жыл бұрын

It would be too heavy when fully loaded.. but i removed the rear bench and middle seat in the cab, overroll bars, tailgate and trailer hitch. This gives me 130 kg extra. The empty camper is around 360kg.

For my American friends it’s 775lbs total weight he added to his truck

2x3s would be less weight.

Nice work. Music is unbearable though.

It will not last long, the cost of this work is the same as metal

Very annoying bgm.
