You and your father have a great attention to detail with the quality of the construction here! Thank you for sharing your build process.

Thank you!

Great design and thorough bracing should make a very sturdy camper for years to come!

Imagine what you hugs could produce if you had a cnc type tool at your disposal I think there's a company that would "sponsor " a mention n and visual use of machine 🤔

For honey combing the wood for weight savings yet retains its strength. Oh and good job

That would be a neat tool to use. I'd love to be able to honeycomb the wood.

Iv been speed watching, you seem to have done a good job. Did you keep track of your total cost of your build, total time and weight of camper?

Yes, I did. I made a couple of short videos with the total weight and cost if your interested. Here's the link to those videos: kzread.info/head/PLFYcffNUUBj5I9LWDDFP47xSn-JphH5nJ&si=a0nNkw6jd5rVzweE I spent about 2 months building. The first month, I just built on weekends. The 2nd month, I worked on something most days. But unfortunately, I didn't record the total hours it took.

Maybe I missed it, but for the plywood, what is the type and thickness that is used through out your build?

@WanderwithKate

Good question. Sorry if I missed mentioning the thickness. Most of the plywood was 1/4 inch thick birch plywood. For the base of the bed platform that extends over the truck cab and would hold my weight while sleeping, we used a 1/2 inch plywood. And then the extra panels for reinforcement of the bed platform (that we added later) were 1/4 inch plywood again.

Did you rip the 2x4 bed rail piece a little to better accept the clamp?

Sorry about all the comments about the clamps, it’s just been the most difficult thing for me to conceptualize before I full design and implement my build 😅 when I crank mine, which are the ones I ordered from your link, the L bracket is still a good 1/2” into the threads 5:32

My 2x4s have been planed down at this point, so they are thinner then a standard board straight from the store. Then to give myself more overlap with the clamps I did make little groves in the board to seat the clamp into. You can see this in Ep. 5 at 1:54. Hope that helps!
