Man Builds DIY Truck Camper for ONLY $800 | Start to Finish by @brandoconklin

This project was a rebellion against the ordinary: a truck bed transformed into a mobile sanctuary. The main goal? To prove that with sheer determination and a willingness to learn on the fly, even a complete novice can build a home on wheels. Over 51 days and 200+ hours, mistakes became lessons and raw materials turned into purpose. Brando measured, cut, glued, and reinforced every inch, each step a small victory in the art of self-reliance. The final result is a rugged, lightweight camper that doesn’t just shield you from the elements, it's all about growth and the thrill of reinventing himself.

Very nice design and build. The only thing I would have changed is the door openings. I would never allow those doors to be locked from the outside without the ability to unlock them from the inside. You never know when someone could come by and lock you inside from that setup. I would make the closings from the inside so I could control who can opens the doors while I was inside... Other than that, it looks cozy and comfy too...

That Cat shows some most excellent skills. Cool little camper.
Now trade in the short bed for an 8’er and do it all over again. Then you can stretch out to snooze. Plus you could put in a 2 seater table an electric cooler plus a single burner hot plate or propane burner stove. Then take your sweetheart for a weekend getaway.

Your craftsmanship is admirable, engineering spot on; personally, I would never build something I could not stand upright in. But I'm only 5' 7" . 😅

Perfect for camping while trout fishing. Excellent build.

Simple and functional. Very good job!😊

[WilliamGunnells]

nice work. I have watched other videos and by the time they are done you can't remove the camper, and or too heavy, or too large. Its hard to strike the right balance on a budget

Dad built one in sections. Could put together and take apart in about 15 min. Aluminum outside. Paneled interior. No kitchen. Just sleeping areas

Great Job! Definitely need to be proud of yourself with this one, and you most certainly had some awesome role models growing up 👏🏼💯

amazing craftsmanship and attention to detail plus an eye for beauty

I think a layer of good house wrap under the siding, or over the frame, would have been beneficial. HECK THE ROOF TOO .

What's to keep from someone locking you in? Your locks make that very easy to do.

For having no experience, he sure got to use some nice Festool and SawStop tools.

$800 in wood priceless as regards his craft . well done young man.

Nice little camper although I would have added insulation to the inside so that it could be used in winter. I would have made the bed smaller to allow more room to prep food and eat and install a small heat source. Some storage space would be good.

Looks like a mini-poon barn. Have fun getting lucky and rolling in the hay.
