TIMELAPSE- DIY Truck Camper - Start to Finish

Timelapse of our truck camper build. This consists of scenes from each episode in my custom truck camper playlist to show the whole build from start to finish in one video. More detailed information can be found in each individual video on my channel.

Finally! Someone who is conscious of weight and not using ten tonnes of plywood and house framing that needs to be waterproofed wth another ten tonnes of

Where are you? I am in BC.

Wow, that's a seriously serious build to take seriously!

What a great looking camper! Looking forward to seeing more this season, brother

[mundodebandeirante]

very good your videos. I'm building a camper and the information is very important.

I mean I guess there's nothing at all wrong with welding the joints after riveting but as a mechanical engineer in the business for 37 years, the welding seems redundant and potentially adds stress to the already riveted joints by over-constraint of the joint. Don't forget, entire airframes for large commercial aircraft are held together by rivets only without the added complexity of welds, principally because of the additional uninspectable variation introduced to metal to metal joints by welding. Having gotten that off my chest, this is still a beautiful, meticulously refined piece of work and kudos to your build skills.

Hmmm, I'm thinking we are seeing the start of a new Camper manufacturing Company. :) Nice rig!

[vfabgarage]

Looks really Good!! Glad I had a chance to help on it!!

[RobMart]

Great job? This is one of the best I've seen!

[onefortheroad]

Nicely done man! Having been mulling over building my own collapsible slide in camper for weekend race getaways with the family and came along your channel. I was thinking along similar lines with construction method so nice to see yours turn out so well. Great job!

[dennisl]

that's a very interesting and unique design. I built one using Dave the sign guy's method and it worked out great, but I like the internal skin idea and you save a lot of money not using tubular framing.

Great video SEAK Adventures! Very cool!

So did you just skin a regular RV door in aluminum? I like the build. Everybody has their own ways of doing things. People don't realize how many hours go into something like this. Then when you aren't working on it you're thinking about it and trying to work on your next problem. I have ADHD so I hyperfixate and then quit before everything is actually finished, once I solve the problems. I got on a mild medication which helped that a lot. Still have hyperfixation but I see projects through for the first time in my life. I'm planning to build my own truck camper in the next few years but I want it to be like a toy hauler truck camper. Big king bed over the truck cab, and an open floor on the bottom part, with a small couch on one side and small kitchen on the other. Still not sure how I'll do the door as a ramp door will be necessary but that won't be practical for tight parking spots. Maybe do a hinge on one vertical side and a heavy duty hinge on the bottom edge and have three or four pins you can use to lock into place one hinge or the other so the door can be used two ways.

Dude Awesome build 😎👍 enjoy it mate 🤘🤘

[peeblestim]

Very impressive, have you had a chance to get it weighed ?

[Ohiostategenerationx]

That's a great job on the build. How much does it weigh? How much was the materials?

[matthewherring]

Would you be able to share weight and cost? Looks fantastic btw, great work!

[maese]

Excellent work. Really like it. The door looks fantastic.
Did you gut out a factory RV door and then put your aluminum on the door?

The issue I have with this camper is how you did the exoskeleton with the inset panels. Do you really trust that it is waterproof or to stay as sealed as it is? Water is a creative force and will figure out how to get into anything.

I see you did the double sided tape and then some sort of glue or caulking. Do you mind sharing what you used? I just don't see that being a wise idea. Cool looking, yes. Waterproof, no. Unless I missed something.

[freemanlin]

Oh my. I love your camper. It’s such a great build. And, I am in New Brunswick too. We are close to Fredericton, you?

[rantk]

Omg that looks awsome and MASSIVE!

Which pickup did you use for it?
Sorry im new to all this and im concerned my future oickup choice will have a bed to small for such projects
