Writer transforms apartment bedroom into creative office
I moved my office from a 77 sq.ft. backyard shack with no insulation to a nice-sized apartment bedroom. In the process, I built a wall-to-wall bookcase. All DIY modifications are renter-friendly.

Nice door solution.
Love your build
Do you show how to do it right in purchased plans?
I show measurements specific to my truck (but easily adjusted to your own needs) and how everything is assembled step-by-step
What lens did you use?
Sigma 24-70
@@brandoconklin Thank you! Great video btw
Be $1300 now
Link isnt working
Fixed. Thanks for the heads up
She likes it that's what counts.
R u Jewish?
WOW, so everything you do inside you will be hunched over? I'll pass.
I am very impressed. I would never have thought of using cedar fence boards. 👍
Tour starts at 4:13.
You sound just like Aaron Paul. Great work!!!!!!!!!
What product are you using for the wet look?
I just discovered your camper build and was so impressed with your creativity. Are the plans still available?
Hey thanks! Yes, the link is in the description or you can find them on my website www.brandoconklin.com/diy-truck-camper
@@brandoconklin , I tried to open the link and it says the page has moved or been deleted.
@@wildrebel2368 Sorry for the troubles! The link should be working now. brando-conklin.myshopify.com/cart/39528129495194:1?channel=buy_button
Awesome. Thank you for the reply. I did have a question. Did you ever state how much the camper weighs? I will building to fit in a 2018 Chevy Colorado. Was just curious the weight. Thanks again.
@@wildrebel2368 estimated 350lbs or so, not exactly sire
what you are doing is a tough build, I have built over 200 teardrops and I have found its best not to over think things, you don't need to have such drastic angles to shed water because the truck won't be perfectly level especially when you store it, "keep it simple" and the build we be more enjoyable. keep it up :)
Thanks! It’s been 4 years since I finished this build. Was a great experience and the camper is still holding up well!
He must be a millwright by profesion
Is it slippery?
Very nice build. Especially for a young not carpenter or woodworker. Might think about cheap (harbor freight) solar & small battery system. A little power is always nice.
Great Build. always, Tommy🤠
I wonder how much this would cost in 2024 Debating on building this or something similar Or just buying a ARE camper and sleeping in that when I go camp hahaha
It's way better to have the tailgate that you can close like you did. Plus you can get a locking tailgate replacement handle.
Those are door hinges but you mounted them totally wrong. You're supposed to mortise one side into the jamb and the other side into the door. Look at any door in your house Anyone can just unscrew them.
Actually, you're wrong. Those are exterior gate hinges. Thanks for your concerns!
@@brandoconklin still face screwed. Not blind screwed so it's a security risk is what I'm saying.
How do you get it in the truck? The jacks alone would cost $800.
By hand. Watch my other video
Brads 😂 better screw that bad boy together!
I did
My god this is so amazing I’m glad I found your page!!! I’m based in northern Cali and want to build my own on my Tacoma and this inspired me so much🥰🥰🥰
Very clever, but standing up is important.
Superbe travail
Very cool 😎👍
I've watched several of your videos and I really like your tub design and the arches for the roof. The bedliner looks good. I'm in the early planning stages of designing a camping pod that will slide into my 7x13 Karavan utility trailer. I'll be "painting" the entire exterior with bedliner. Good looking camper!
Thanks for the kind words! My design is heavily inspired by (if not a replica of) the original camper by @ENDGAME. You should check his videos out, and good luck with your build!
How did the liner hold up?
Perfectly
Perfect symmetry! Looks great. I'll be using your wing brace/reinforcement on my design. I'm in the early planning stages of designing a camping pod that will slide into my 7x13 Karavan utility trailer. 🤓👍💯
Fantastic videos!
Not picking tge great job you did but just a comment. Most truck campers I’ve seen have a turn buckle to tighten up snug to the truck. I’m sure it won’t go anywhere but if you were to have an accident, would your connectors hold up? Just a tip, you did a good job on your build.
Cool setup dude
Hey man great video series! I'm grateful that you credited Endgame for the original series on this type of build. I picked up your build plans and they are helping quite a bit with my version of this build. The main difference for me is that I live in my truck full time so this tiny camper will need to be insulated and have a few more amenities. The point is, I wouldn't be as far along in planning as i am without your help, so thank you! And again, thank you for giving credit to Endgame. There is a video out there that the dude bit your build and has a shit ton of views, and the creator chose not to give any credit back to you or Endgame or anyone.. anyway thanks again for making this - cheers!
Thanks grabbing the plans! I would love to see your build once you're done. Been cool to see the different variations people have done with them.
@@brandoconklin Yo!! Thanks for the reply man! I am super tempted to film it too and throw it up on here - although I have actually 0 filming/editing skills :) Thanks again for the motivation and for making a great video series 🤙🏼
@@BorderlineWanderings I had zero building skills and filmed it anyway haha. If it can help someone else build their own it's all worth it, in my opinion. Good luck and feel free to hit me up if you have any questions.
Quick question you may have said this and i missed it but, do your unit rest on the sides of the truck or is there a gap there and it only sits on the bottom ? I heard someone say somewhere that it should not sit on the sides but can't recall who. Just wondering what your take was. Thanks in advance
Yeah, it sits directly on top of my rails. Couldn't tell you which way is best, but mine has shown no issues with direct contact.
@@brandoconklin Thanks , sounds like the best way for stability to me as well
How did you secure the camper to the front of the truck bed?
Looks like an awesome build Just subscribed will be watching this as I plan on building something similar
This is cool I love it
This is great I’ve seen two other UA-camrs apparently use your blueprints , but they didn’t mention them ???
Good job
Good job
Seriously great job !!!
Amazing job !!!
Dude nice job, myself I'd recommend 2 things; extend it over the cab (storage, not sleeping) plus higher head room right to the cab and extend it out to the end of the tailgate. Then you can set up a drop down table (bed) at the back and have room for a kitchenette (2 gas burners & ice box) and maybe a small stand-up wardrobe across from it.... : )
Definitely going for a cabover on the next build!
what size truck bed do you have
I wonder what the table materials cost .. not the top itself.. the rest of it??? Is that a 911 or what model Porsche ... great runners.
2 years go that cost $800. Now probably $2000+ inflation is crazy 😅
Hi,How can I get those windows? I like that style, thanks for the video
Awsome
