    you should put solar panels on the Roof of the camper and charge spare batteries, and take it across the country. That's definitely something I think a lot of viewers would enjoy

    This is a really nice build! You could easily add about 200 watts of solar on the roof that could add some range to the e-bike / camper and a small power station to run everything inside without having to compromise the range. Using a CIGS type of solar panel would only add about 6 pounds to the camper weight. Great work!

    Very cool. I woulda go with the aluminum frame. foam walls with glued 1/8 inch ply, then spray bedliner all to save weight. Other than that? Maybe an awning over the door? So you could sit in the door but be out of the rain. Solar on top? A tiny fold-out butane cooktop for coffee. a couple cuby's for phone n gear.
    Just ideas. I'm sure you had your own! Too fun man! Way to go! Very nice build.

    You could do much more with this idea because a bike without assist can tow up to 300 pounds without much trouble. So, I think you should do another one, that's wider, with a pop out for the bed, a kitchen, a fridge, and a small composting toilet. The one I want to build is about 8 feet long, has a pop out for the bed, enough room for a small seating area and a kitchen, so it's definitely doable, especially if your ebike can tow in excess of 500 pounds.

    I just built one...made it through an entire Canadian winter. I havent put motors on the camper yet, but plan to eventually. It does have solar, LiFePo battery bank, 12v oven and fridge, 12v heater, a desk...it is based off one of those bike trailers people put kids in, a steel tube bed frame, 1x2 lumber skeleton, and a foam laminate skin. Uses 20" sealed bearing bicycle wheels. I am still putting some interior trim pieces on it, but it is otherwise done. I havent tried it yet though. I did build a dual hub motor ebike based on a Trek MTB frame to pull it that has around 3000W of total power should I need it. I figured I would deck the bike out with motors first so when not pulling the camper I still have all that power and torque.

    10 mm Corrugated plastic would have been a better option for the entire cab. Strong enough for even the floor. Only issue with corrugated for the floor would be, it can be slippery when wet or dusty but that 44lb weight for the base would have been substantially lighter Nice job on the trailer and video either way..

    You need to look into adding a dovetail to the back of your campers, it will reduce the amount of friction drag that will make these things easier to pull. Just a little lip on the back instead of a shear will do the trick.

    As a life long cyclist with many tours and trips under my belt, I can say this is a fun looking project. But big to carry and cramped. My best fit for a few friends or with my wife was with a mountaineering style tent and some off the shelf, lightweight backpackers gear. It's lighter, more versatile, less support prone, trouble free, parking easy, and E bikes don't need to pull an e trailer. You just put on panniers and bags. There are cargo trailers if needed. Again, a cool project, I don't see it getting out much or for very far.

Inverter/charger sized to operate small induction cook top, small frig, 12v mattress heating pad, cooling fans, tire pump, charge bike battery, enable 110v charging.
    Next design, consider using 8020 aluminum for the frame, easy mechanical connections. Shape more teardrop, foam walls, exterior use FRP panels with UV infused.
    Add tarp/connections on top for side awning. Don't forget the lawn chair! And spare tubes!

    If you could add like a foot to the back of it (the smallest part) you could make a little garage area to carry a camp stove, or to hide your tires so no one can steal your bike. Or have a way to lock your bike to it at night.
    I also think you could put a little latch for a battery powered reading lamp by your head, and I think your paint job is cute but at first I thought it was gonna be like those 90s turquoise and purple cups

    well done. Interesting choice on the aluminum and wood combo. Great idea for "underbox" dual side wheel support. Would be worth having regen braking from the trailer. Unclear if you put batteries in trailer, but that + solar is enough to make a utility blackout party shack. You could make cutouts on back, front, rear walls to either add more windows or fill with foam for more weight reduction.
    Your hitch needs its own video/episode. You should link to the controllers you used as well. Unclear where you put them.
    Great work on showing what 2000w of power brings to a trailer. You never mentioned total weight though.

    Really nice. Only improvement I can think of is to get a solar panel put on top of it so you can charge your system.

    I like this one better than the previous one. I myself, would solar panel it, another window on the other side and shelves.
