Its crazy just how many sponsors this man managed to fit inside a video on top of that he promoted that he is selling the camper he built, so he is getting free material, money and selling it to make even more money on top of becoming more popular. Now this is peak efficiency

Noticed a really common mistake when venting your battery box at 18:45-ish. You don't want your intake sitting directly across from your outtake at the same height. This causes dead areas in the airflow. Instead, you want one high and one low. You also only need one fan unless you're specifically trying to create positive pressure inside the box.

That's correct it's very unlikely for people to make mistakes like this he did not think much about the placement of his intakes and outtakes

One fan pulls air in and the other pushes air out. They work really well the outtake of the inverter is near the outtake fan.

@@buildersblueprint Yes, I understand. :-) But fans blow in cones. So by having one blowing in at the same height as one blowing out, you've overlapped the cones and made a cylinder of air running from the intake to the outtake. The air blowing in will blow right out and leave eddies of hot air in all of the corners (especially at the bottom since you've put the holes at the top). Whereas if you had one low and one high, there wouldn't be overlap in the cones, meaning they're working together to mix all the air. But really two fans are unnecessary (though you still want the two holes). Since no two fans ever blow at exactly the same speed, you're either creating positive or negative pressure in the box (depending on which one is slower). Positive pressure would be great in a box containing a propane tank, but otherwise it's just kind of inefficient (it's not bad, per se, just a minor waste of pennies and electricity). Overall, you really want your intake to be low (where the coolest air is) and your outtake to be high (where the hottest air is). Any time you build an air system with two holes, you're creating a river of air between them; if they're at the same height, they really only cool objects in line with them. By varying the height, you create a diagonal which is a longer straight line, meaning it can cover more components. :-)

The intake should be low, and out should be higher because it will push the hotter air naturally up and out.

I’d be more concerned about water ingress. All of the holes added after the fiberglass are the first to leak once that construction adhesive gives way. House adhesives aren’t made to be driven on roads and especially not on dirt trials.
Just about every electrical component, water tanks, fridge, etc needs rubber isolators. You also needed a grommet on every single wire penetration. Trailers vibrate and ride soooo much rougher than actual campers or conversion vans. Also, almost nothing you installed is easily serviceable without ripping into the wood. Looks very nice though.
Looks great! Id definitely suggest adding a side awning for small campers like this though. Theres some really nice ones that can fold away into a mounted box, and allow you to basically add an entire screen room to your camper. Really makes it a lot more functional as you then have a sheltered place to be in outside of the sleeping area
I'm seriously impressed! Your creativity and technical skills are off the charts! This isn't just a camper, it's a masterpiece! 🔨

Just watched you first trailer build yesterday and watched this one today. This ones iteration is so much more solid. I love the water proofing you did on the bottom of this one. The design for this is way better. The way you did that venting for the electrical box didn't seem like it was complete though. How do you stop the fans from pulling water in when its raining? also I think someone has for sure mentioned it but not having some kind of grommet or protection where those wires go through the wood is going to be a fire risk eventually. Keep up the great work, can't wait for the next one!

But some one who appreciates it and can afford a little dispensable cash will buy it just to have the best house on the block, or the best compact sleeping trailer.

Thank you for recognizing this. We try really hard to build these campers to the best of our abilities.
way way overkill on the batteries, charge controller, inverter. You have 5000 watts of power, 60 amps worth of charge controller, and 3000 watts of inverter,, paired with a 200 watt panel. It would take a minimum of 3 days to charge the batteries. You're 75% under your charge controller limit, and 2500~ watts over your inverter limit. This is like large RV power ratings for a teardrop. The fridge is going to use 35-40 watts in small bursts over the span of an hour. The tv is like 50 watts an hour max. The electrical system was more $$$ than the rest of the camper by several times over. I can't think of many use cases where you'd go off grid with it and not run out of potable water within 24 hours. I guess with that wattage you could easily run an induction stove for several days worth of meals. Edit: actually more like 6000 watts of power.

I can't recall, but was there a shore power connection so that you could charge the batteries? You could get all charged up and the 200-watt solar panel would allow the system to equalize for all the parasitic power that is used from the inverter, etc.

Just 2.5 minutes in, and I’m already conquered. There is a dude who knows how to work, well-read amongst better practices. I don’t think I’ll finish the video right away (as I am myself working in my shop, I « watch » YT videos that can be 100% listened too.). I’m gonna like this, and come back to it in 2-3 years, when I should be ready to build mine. With a little luck, there will be a « 1000 hours use of my DIY-Pro trailer-camper ». It reminds me of what YT is still the best at, despite their absurd code of conduct (beige is the new « coooooolor »; « unaliving » means « dying » essentially, but with a twist of Old Fashioned Republicanism) : the sharing of meaningful experiences and skills.
Nice to see how much these things cost when done right and arent using massive amounts of free hardware! Cheers

Do you prefer the rear door of this one or the black one you made. Seems like the black one opens higher
You did commit a cardinal sin for electricians, you put electrical wires covered inside insulation. For LED indicators, LED position lights and LED break lights it should be fine, the wires from the solar panel however could become a problem, the insulation was lighter in the roof tho; if you start using amperage on the covered wires the heat the wires generate will have nowhere to go and it will accumulate until in worst and rare cases a fire breaks out. There are both plastic and metal tubes/channels for electrical wires that are supposed to be used for this, they leave some space for the wires to release their heat and get rid of it using a natural flow from convection. Really excellent otherwise.
