I have a "dolly trailer" that I keep my slide in camper on when its not on my truck. It enables me to move the camper around with my tractor or truck anytime without mounting it back on the truck. It also allows me to take the camper anywhere and park it at a campsite if I choose to or tow it around like a bumper pull camper. Very handy to have. I built it 9 or ten years ago and it has been used for three different slide in campers over the years.

This has nothing to do with the pick up camper since you'd have the same problem with anything of any size. This is about your failure to plan for a large enough door. Seems like a much larger door could have been put in the end wall or another 2' on the side walls.

I’d pour a concrete apron in front of the doors so you could roll things like the camper out the door then raise it up to back the truck under, also helps keep dirt and rocks out of the shop

Most folks are not able to afford nearly as much and begin homesteading/country livng on a much lower level of income, even after finding a decent piece of ground to begin on. No doubt you've worked hard all your life to afford to be where you folks are now, and 'good-on' ya. Gives so many of us others something to aspire towards, in some ways. Please keep sharing, k'...

LOL...Family could stay in the barn camper...now that's good planning ahead!

Why not make the door opening larger before you get doors?

Measure twice, cut once.

Lower the camper on the jacks. Get the camper closer to the ground. I would get 2each 8x8x8's to set the camper on and not strain the jacks. If you bump the camper the legs might buckle.....and that would be expensive. Use a pallet in front of the opening to cut down on high steeping. Also add support to the front of the camper if you are truly letting people sleep in the camper. Have you added a solar charger to your building to help keep batteries topped off? If you do, keep the solar cell chest high so it can be cleaned of snow and dust. I installed solar yard lights on my Masonic Lodges building and in my driveway. They were @70$ each. Twisted the head/solar cells a bit towards the sun (if you point the lights east or west) to help with the sun melting snow and the moisture to roll of the cells. THey have remotes so I can change how the lights perform. I like low power mode where the light is on at dusk at @30% and brighten to 100% when they see movement. Or you can have them on bright all the time or low all the time. I get them from china and it takes 3 weeks to get them. The hard part is finding a attachment pole the right size. I added duct tape to my pole to make a tight fit. also used lag bolts to keep the light pointed where I wanted it. Dont want to go work on a light 20 ft off the ground if I can help it.

Having the snow shed in front of your doors is a major design flaw.

Thats why you don't put main doors in the wings of a shop. You put them near roof peaks to have maximun height. You can still add a door. From experience,

Definitely devise a bar to connect the bases of the "front" support to prevent inward/outward torsion.

Great idea using the casters! Would you share some plans?

Careful with storing the camper on those rollers. If it slips off even slightly, you won’t be able to get a truck under it with the way it’s facing.

How are you getting the camper out once the doors are installed?

How interesting! I just finished fabricating custom wheels to fit those jack stands. They were for a customer who wanted to bring his camper in his garage. Shelom Cody.

10:31 it's a very niche market but it looks like it would be directly addressing a concern that everyone has with a camper. Somebody should look into that because I've never developed a physical product lol. Enjoy my idea 😂

I love our camper, but one thing I would not do, is trust the casters. The best I have seen that would work for you, is a wagon/cart platform with industrial casters on each corner. The camper once off the truck can be lowered on to it. Wheeling it around the shop is now not dependent on the legs. Once the leverage of the legs works on the camper, it's a potential for disaster.

Piano doilies would probably work awesome. They are made of cast iron and have a pocket for the piano leggs to sit in so the piano wont fall off when rolling.

I would get some good 8" or 10" heavy duty castors and build some custom dolly platforms (pneumatic wouldn't be bad if you can live with ~300lbs per wheel) . If you really wanted some added stability make an adjustable set of bars (e.g. nested sliding square tube) that can link each pair of together into a rigid frame. If you wanted added insurance while its at rest, you could grab some castors with leveling feet, or build some on each dolly to secure the load rigidly in place. My guess is a good few sets of these would generally be useful for getting all sorts of equipment packed in place.

!measure twice build it right

Cody, go get a cheap used double axle flatbed trailer and put the camper on that for the winter. It will move around easy peazy.

Thankyou for letting me ride along. Take care.

When your overhead doors are installed you may less headroom.

Just like a boat, the best 2 days of owning a camper is the day you buy it and the day you sell it.

Do you plan to do any type of rack system or pallets for storing your implements outside or will they also be stored in the new building?

I think a wagon/cart/dolly would be a very good solution in this case. A tongue on one side that could be connected to a truck or skid loader. With heavy duty casters on all 4 corners. Drop it onto it right outside the shop and wheel it in with the loader or truck then push it as needed by hand.

Have you thought about adding gravel and a lean to on the side of the shop so equipment doesnt get covered by snow.

Not that seeing someone have what they always wanted isn't entertaining but sometimes I do miss the old log home in the woods and stuff like the water tower project and the timber framed cabin (tragic end story) are what got me into this channel. Either way it's a good watch in the morning with my coffee. Seeing that same old fork lift around is nice too. You helped me pick out a Yale for sure.

2:34 no fancy title for the bucket lol

Welp, as a Northeasterner I wouldn't have had my garage doors of my newly built shop on the same side as the slope off the roof! Haha... in humor! But seriously.

What was the attachment you moved after the snowblower? It didn’t say on the screen

never seen a SNOW BROOM before. On the camper - Why not load up about 500 lbs in the bed area, and squat that suspension? with sand bags that would be 5 mins tops. and....those 3 wheel casters really need a BIGGER wheel, just going from 2" to 3" would be huge for ease of movement,

What's the update on the new shop?

I built a small dolly for my camper using 2x2 tubing and plywood. Then I bolted a tongue on it so I can hook it to my truck hitch to move it easier

I didnt realize you were this rich, Calhoon.

I built a 4x8 platform on dumpster wheels when I set my camper on it the bumper of the camper scrapes the ground from their it got rolled into the shop…

I built a frame that looks Iike a furniture dolly and out it on heavy duty casters rated for the weight. It is 4ft x 8ft and the camper will sit down on it in my shop. My shop doors are too low as well so I drop the camper on the concrete pad in front of the shop onto the dolly and then roll it in.
