Looks like a pro to me...

i had drenched the frame and aluminium and the pywood with linseed oil good against water and rust and is natural. everywhere on the trailer. the best is to bath the wood in a big bath tub/container full of linseed oil and it will never rot. as long as possible. mix linseed oil with a bit balsamic turpentine and the wood will absorb it even better.

and the linseed oil still let the wood breathe and harmonize with the weather changes dryness of the air.

spray the inside of the metalframe with linseeed oil too. often the metal rot from the inside out...

Your meticulous work and patience is to be highly commended. Great job.

The details, cinematography, planning, and overall execution are greatly appreciated and well done. Regrettably, what's missing and probably most crucial is the cost. I'm not referring to the total build cost, but specifically, the expenses incurred each time you visited the metalworker for fabrication and welding. How much did each visit cost? What was the total amount on the invoices covering supplies, fabrication, and welding for this episode? Honestly, it gives the impression that money and time are not a concern or limitation in your life. However, for the rest of us (dare I say, for most of us), budgeting finances and managing time is a reality. You are not the only KZreadr who overlooks this aspect, and some viewers may stop watching when they see the price of the steel in episode one of the build or the invoice from the team that handled most of the welding-surely, this had to be several hundred if not thousands of dollars. Would you object to sharing those invoices with us? Thank you either way. Sincerely and Respectfully, Bill

Not meaning to be negative because the guy did such an awesome job. But he made some rather obvious mistakes. Mistakes: 1. Unless he's thinking his trailer will survive Armageddon, he put way too much steel in the frame and subframe. In RVs any way to use less material is done. I used to work at a mobile home manufacturing plant and mobile homes are put together exactly the same way he did it. (Except for the excessive over-engineering).

Deeper thinkers and credible work

As a guy in his twenties who lives with his brother and had our apartment burn down and then was kicked out of our second apartment for the simple reason of the landlord wanting to give the place to her friends. You sir have saved our lives!!!🙏 I've never been unemployed but I've ended up homeless 4 times and I'm done with that. Thank you so much for these videos.

I worked for gem top truck canopies, I could buy metal sheets to build camper! Because metal sweats bad, I put plastic sheeting over wood frame (moisture barrier). Then on outside of plastic sheet, I placed a flat washer on every metal skin screws, creating an air space, so any moisture could drain out, leaving bottom open for drainage! I learned another lesson: always keep weight down as much as possible! An with you diamond plate side your rigs going to be heavy, even before loading it with essentials! Are you sure you don't want that big white rear metal plate on hinges, an not glued down, to life as rain/sun guard? Something else I do, I cover all wood with black choking, so no wood visible, not just two thin beads.

This has always been my thoughts. Especially notice how much a tin roof will condensate an drip without an building paper an eventually fks the paper anyways. So cause of that i couldnt see sense in skinning a teardrop or camper etc. Rather just paint the plywood probably got a better chance if done right a thinned oil sealer a a fill an sand then undercoat oil thrn sand then 3 top coats a acrylic. All the edges gapped up etc.

You do nice work. Very professional. I also enjoy your video presentation. Its a refreshing change from the average verbal slang used by others.

I know this comes late, but you’ll need to isolate the stainless bolts from the aluminum panels to mitigate galvanic corrosion. Especially in northern climates where road salts are used, and along coastal areas. The bolts must be totally isolated electrically from the aluminum.

GOOD TO SEE YOU BACK. TRAILER LOOKING GOOD.

If you have ever experienced a flat on a trailer, the shredded rubber can destroy the fender. In this case it could take out the whole side of the trailer. Just a thought.

Man, you are killing me with the black paint. I think I would have polished the aluminum and maybe sprayed on a clearcoat. But respectfully, that’s just me. When it comes to black paints, people paint motorcycles boats RVs and whatever they can’t think of a good color

Loving your videos, I'm getting ready to build myself a small trailer for weekend trips, I have a question what thickness is the frame tubing? I know the tongue tubing should be at least 2X2 with 1/4" thickness, I know this from past experiences in trailer building. Thanks in advance for your time...Mario

Better than i could do. I see a lot of diy over build. Do you need SS screws or metal sides? But i dont think the tape will work. And some is very expensive. Just my thoughts

I have to say it looks great! Very well put together. My only concern or interest is the stainless fasteners on aluminum. That’s not a good mix for it does cause corrosion over time due to the two different metals reaction to each other.

@crustycurmudgeon2182

2 жыл бұрын

Was wondering the same thing. That's a definite "NO" in a marine environment. "Electrolysis" is the term I often hear about in this regard, and stainless is massively worse than even galvanized steel when it comes to corrosion issues.

@S14zenkiQs

Stainless and aluminum are fine together in this application, in fact most quality Aluminum trailer frames are bolted together with Stainless steel Hurk Bolts because welded joints fail far earlier.

You do so much work making your bottom waterproof, but then the backwall of the fender is so short that i can see the plywood floor. You could easely had made it a few centimeter longer and bolted it to the frame. How did you now protect the plywood from getting wet there in the fender?

Execelent, Thumbs up mate .. I'm doing one very similar in size .. Old skool size 12' x 7' with 59" sides ..the roof is hinged at the front and lifts up at an angle from the rear approx 28" to allow standing room at the rear end of the camper ..
