Simplicity is King in RV/Campers of all kinds. The Kitchen's water system is gravity fed, no pumps, no plumbing/pipes to crack, break or fail. Genius is finding a simpler solution, to more complex systems. Congratulations Brigham on creating a simpler, more efficient teardrop trailer for the masses !
I was thinking that while watching another build. They had the water tank in the front and they fed the water through pumps and tubes underneath, and they had trouble keeping it from leaking everywhere. Seemed better to me, like you said, to gravity feed the water directly from the top. No pumps, no electricity, no tubing needed, and saves time while building.
as much as i love the big high tech expensive van builds cuz they look so comfortable and shit i love these cheap realistic builds just as much specially everything being manual basically so nothing can break it’s just better to have if you do a lot of camping not worrying about things breaking is so good
Several years ago my brother-in-law built a schoolie. When I took my family on a west coast trip and we arrived late at Guadalupe National Park campground and had to sleep in the car because all the camping lots were filled, I began thinking about schoolies. But my oldest son told me, "Dad, what you really want is an overland camper." Once I began the research, I realized my son knew me better than I thought. You made an excellent video on Brigham's great do-it-yourself project. Keep up the great work on these types of low cost do-it-yourself overland campers!!!
Love that this guy genuinely wants to share his experience and help others in making their own dreams possible. This guy's awesome and i love love the camper
The whole point of camping is its supposed to be a cheap getaway. The simplicity and functionality of this camper are superb, and you can tell some clever thinking went into achieving that.
He did an awesome job keeping the cost low, as well as the final outcome. The angles he came up with gave an appealing feel to the eye. Wish I could see it in person, but I think you did it justice.
@@franciscomedinav 15k is definitely a low ball figure! I was just looking at the manufactured ones and their prices are astronomical! I paid less for my house 5 years ago! It’s small 3 bedroom, but I can’t put wheels on it. This guy did everything right, obviously, but when my back isn’t killing me I have the mechanical aptitude and I am already an Internet scout of bargains which have the ability to be incorporated. Why pay $30k+ for a stripped base model that has a huge manufacturer logo on the sides and rear if you can do it yourself… I was impressed that it was built in 4 weeks and it didn’t take away from his living a normal to him life. However, I wouldn’t be doing it for a course grade, so I think it wouldn’t matter if it took 5-6 months and was finished and ready for summer adventures!
When I did poor man's fiberglass I was ok with the seams. I doubled up on all my seams for a peace of mind for leaks. My 5x8 has been through over 12inches of rain and a couple of inches of snow. Awesome build! Welcome to the adventure!
@@shelm-b8p I did the northern tool steel 5x8 trailer. And mine the build weighs 1100 lbs. I used tightbond 3 with my poor man's fiberglass. It's done very well in the 2 years of Minnesota weather.
My husband built our 5x8 PeaPod five years ago. Still using it this year #6. We had to add an RV rubber roof, the top sagged after the first year. However, it's highly efficient at keeping indoor temps around 72 even at 40 degrees outside. Insulation really helps. Added double sided foil to the floor under a square foam flooring. Stopped condensation immediately. A roof fan keeps the air going off a deep cycle battery for an average of three nights. Best of all, our truck maintains a steady 19-20 MPG towing. This style is really energy efficient.
I've seen so many of these builds and this is as unique as they come. I luv the size, the layout aswel as the simplicity. There is an elegance to simplicity with room for growth. What's not to luv? Very sweet in deed. I really want to build one. As a handy man it's tempting just to see if I can. I enjoy the out doors so it would definitely get used. Awesome tear drop, great job on the build. Hope you and family enjoy it for years to come. 👍
This video has changed my mind about building one out of a new cargo trailer. Insulation and 1/4 inch plywood inside and out covered with canvass and glue is light, strong, and weather resistant. I’m inspired… even if I have to buy a new trailer to start, I’ll have less than $3K into it. 👍
The genius idea here is how the water and sink are configured in the kitchen! Wow, brilliant. Why didn't established builders think of this? I also love the little usb fan on the kitchen table. Not only does it provide a breeze when cooking but it keeps flies off of your food too. I do wish, however, the rear door lifted up to provide cover over the kitchen, like on Bean trailers.
Yes Brigham has some design features other companies could benefit from. He now works for Bean so he gets that nice overhead coverage whenever he wants now.
@@PlayingwithSticks I know! ❤Earlier today I saw Brigham talking about Bean trailers. Amazing. Well, Bean hired the best. A real thinker. I hope they incorporate his ideas into future trailers.
@@freedom4survival I just checked out the Bean Stalker. It looks masterful. I really think it would be brilliant coupled with the forthcoming Tesla Cybertruck or a Rivian. Hopefully, Bean is already preparing for this new wave of electric vehicles. I have no clue to as to what changes or options should be integrated one way or the other. The simpler the Bean is, the better, obviously. Maybe the Bean is perfect as it is, but then, nothing is perfect.
This build is incredible!! I am looking to build something like this and really appreciate all the tips and design ideas! Love this whole build and it inspires me to build my own instead of paying so much to buy something already done. Thanks again!!
this was awesome... maybe only $2000, but his skills and abilities are priceless, pure talent, you cant buy his skill set.... well done man, I really enjoyed your build, practical camper to say the least..
Alway enjoy watching a DIY after the fact video. My budget is low so most branded campers are out of my reach. Love to see more videos like this! Thank you.
That kitchen setup is pure simplistic genius! Especially the angled cupboards and the elevated water jug/collapsible sink. Well done, my good bearded sir. 👍
What I like too is that the water container can be turned around to face the inside for making a cup of tea or cup a soup ( instant ) if the weather turns wet and cold, also, a little single burner would fit on the inside shelf. Any used cups ( paper/plastic in this case ) can be dumped through the through hatch into the bucket/sink and dealt with later when the weather is more hospitable. Great job!
Innovative, simple, rugged and great resourcefulness in obtaining materials and components and clever cost cutting repurposing pf everyday items!!! A realistic result while containing the budget!
This guy built exactly what I've been invisioning in my head for many months now. My trouble is that I have 5 kids. I've put this idea on the back burner because I can't fit them all into something like this. Then I saw how Scout campers let's you put a roof tent on with a passthrough! That has brought a new spark to this idea. With a big enough roof tent that has a passthrough cut into it, I can fit my whole basketball team!!
Yep that’s the plan. My next truck build will have a wedge style camper and that will allow me to put the tent on the trailer. When I’ve got older kids Ill just throw them up there.
Yes, we shot this in Utah. Really cool fun fact, after this video Bean Trailer hired Brigham to work for their company. I just saw him this weekend working the Bean booth at the OverlandExpo
I love everything about this, including the colour. That kitchen is so practical and spacious, and I really like how solid everything looks and sounds.
Thanks for encouraging Brigham. I’m hopeful we will see him working at a small camper company soon. I think he will make a great hire for a teardrop or Overland company.
I think it would be great if he could find the wherewithal to start up his own company. If he could push out 1 a month and keep the price reasonable ($12-15k ?) even with the crazy cost of materials I think he would do ok. But working for someone else would probably be more practical with a young family ( needing health benefits and all ) Good luck to Brigham what ever direction he goes.
Gorgeous build. Really giving me some ideas for building my own tear drop. Haven't seen anyone build one like I want but all of them are giving me good ideas on how to incorporate things on my build for a family of 3!
When I saw the pass through, I immediately thought about turning the water jug around at night or whenever you're in the cab. That way you don't have to get out to get a drink of water. I like the design. I think I would incorporate straps of some kind in order to keep the water jug secure in that position if you were driving, so you don't have to pull it down all the time.
That is pretty impressive. I might have added some LED tail lights and running lights, but there are a lot of good design choices in this build. I have never heard of poormans fiberglass before, but I will remember it for sure.
All the lighting on the trailer are LED. Even though they look like standard trailer lighting they are LEDs, these where just budget friendly compared to other LED lights. That's why I went with these ones.
Very useful video. Here's my tip: If you use a roll of paper towels outdoors, try Visa Signature Cloth. They do not unroll in the wind or if you drop them, and they are an excellent paper towel.
I love the little trailer. The "Poor man's fibreglass" brought back memories of my Grandad doing something similar to their old bondwood caravan where he painted the van and while the paint was still wet he put canvas over it then put more paint over the top of the canvas. This made the caravan waterproof again. The van had been built in the 1940's, early 1950's and Grandad had to do this re-waterproofing in the late 1970's. It worked well. It's nice to see something similar that is working for this build.
Amazing build thanks for sharing. Love the idea of keeping the cost way down. From my experience out there in all conditions you really need a maxfan and solar which will extend your range of comfort and usability.
this is really nicely done, definitely keeping this in my back pocket. working on a army base the wood bins are full with the same wood he used and most of this trailerm they are small pieces but long enough for a trailer like this, and no bullet holes in most of them.
And that patience! I have found when I’m working on a camping project sometimes I will pay the extra cash just so I can get out camping quicker. Really neat to see him not give in like me. Haha
Very impressive! I have such admiration for people who can build a whole camper from scratch, wow! That is not an easy job and requires many skills. Titebond is a PVA (Poly Vinyl Acetate) Glue. I did not know you could coat wood with it to make a waterproof seal. Modge Podge used in crafting is also a form of PVA glue. If you use this same concept with strips of wood, you make a roll top desk cover. Building is such fun! Camera stabilizer with batteries? I thought they were some sort of tripod. I learned something new. I need one too! Thanks for a lovely tour! The color is so nice. So glad its not camo or dark olive or khaki. This is a fun orange color.
Seriously, well done, my man. That's an awesome work you have done, amazing in reducing costs. Maybe should make these for living. I am sure there would be a lot of buyers.
I love it!! Shape is about the same as my plan, construction very similar. During my research prior to building, I always look for the little innovations and hints from people who have altready done it. Thanks for sharing.
Nice rig, and relatively inexpensive. I was initially thinking of a teardrop, but your design inspires me to possibly rethink the direction I was initially going in. I have the trailer frame already, and I think a square drop would suit the build better than a teardrop. Happy camping!
I keep coming back to this video. 4 times over last year. 14:40 Love this build and I want one. I'm not much of a builder though and luck the space. Maybe I'll have a SquareDrop someday. What ever happened to Brigham and his camper career?
Check out this video you are going to love it Ultimate Offroad Adventure: Exploring the Bean Squared Trailer ua-cam.com/video/-Tlo02fPnLc/v-deo.html we just shot this video a few weeks ago and Brigham is the star of the show. Just after filming the original video with us, Brigham got an interview with Bean Trailer. They absolutely love him over there. The trailer that you were going to see in the video was built by Brigham. he did an amazing job.
Expect to double your budget if you don't own a lot of tools or supplies. I've been hunting for cheap supplies and tools in the past 2 years in order to keep my build under $2K-3K. I purchased 7 sheets of 3/4" finished maple plywood on CL for ~$200. A brand new trailer aluminum 5x8' trailer on northern tools for $600 (current price of the trailer is $850) after the $100 coupon, which I used to purchase a set of ratcheting wrenches . The cost of high quality cordless tools (Dewalt & Milwaukee, and etc..) for around $2K. I'm LMAO & crying at the same time but the self-satisfaction is priceless. You know what they say...hobbies are expensive.
Fantastic work! I started building one over the winter but haven't worked on it in months. Got the frame rolling with Timbren suspension but need to build the space. Got some great inspiration from this video. Thanks for doing it.
Yes! Luck and patience. Having that kind of patient says a lot about Brigham. It’s so tempting to just push through and spend the extra money so you can get out camping sooner.
Is there a place to get plans for this build? Great job and looking to do something very similar, figured I would start with something proven to be easy and functional.
the kitchen could also be cool with a slide out countertop. then you could have the cabinets be full sized / straight across and not lose the overhead work space. I suppose in that case, you might want a small retractable awning over the back, so you could comfortably use the kitchen in the rain and have some shade when it's brutally hot.
I really like the story and the build esp the kitchen! Surprising how similar our overall shape design came out to be haha finished mine a few months ago.
Simplicity is King in RV/Campers of all kinds. The Kitchen's water system is gravity fed, no pumps, no plumbing/pipes to crack, break or fail.

That angle in the galley cupboards is brilliant. I have not seen that on any other camper and I will definitely be stealing that for my build.
...ditto..
As a fellow garage door guy who has been day dreaming about a mini trailer lately, I absolutely love the repurposed door hardware
Thanks man! It works well

Hey buddy, for the future, the saying is, “peace of mind,” not, “a piece of mind.” 👍 Safe travels!
I've been a woodworker for a number of years and you my friend did an amazing job on that trailer.

I love the split doors in the back. Placement of the pass through/water jug and collapsible sink is fantastic! Very nice build! 💙
We agree. Brigham did a great job.

What an amazing piece of design! His ideas makes everyone say "I should have thought of that!"
This is exactly what I was planning to build. Great to see it's been done with a great video of it.
I'm already plotting and scheming a foamie version of this.

@@PlayingwithSticks Rough Country, it’s pretty nice so far, definitely see a mattress upgrade soon.

The cost of high quality cordless tools (Dewalt & Milwaukee, and etc..) for around $2K. I'm LMAO & crying at the same time but the self-satisfaction is priceless. You know what they say...hobbies are expensive.
Fantastic work! I started building one over the winter but haven't worked on it in months. Got the frame rolling with Timbren suspension but need to build the space. Got some great inspiration from this video. Thanks for doing it.
We are huge fans of the Timbren suspension. Even on a non-off-road build they really smooth out the ride
Really creative build. Thanks for showing this.
That is brilliant and the perfect shade of orange!
He built it right. He should be very proud. He could sell that for $20k easily. He lucked out on finding the parts at such a reasonable price.
Yes! Luck and patience. Having that kind of patient says a lot about Brigham. It’s so tempting to just push through and spend the extra money so you can get out camping sooner.
A really great interview and a really great camper! I love the cozy interior and especially the pass-through! ~ Maria
Thanks Maria! I just loved his comment about the pass through. Providing breakfast for his wife in the morning. That’s the words of a great man!
Thanks for sharing this build. Still remember this event and meeting you there. Cheers!
Is there a place to get plans for this build? Great job and looking to do something very similar, figured I would start with something proven to be easy and functional.
This is incredible. Thank you so much for sharing the build info and tips.
Awesome design. Makes me want to build one now.
What a great informative video!
Poor man's fiberglass ❣️❣️❣️💪😍
Thanks for sharing! Very cool build
Yes very creative and you got it done!!! 😎
the kitchen could also be cool with a slide out countertop. then you could have the cabinets be full sized / straight across and not lose the overhead work space. I suppose in that case, you might want a small retractable awning over the back, so you could comfortably use the kitchen in the rain and have some shade when it's brutally hot.
I like your creativity David!
I really like the story and the build esp the kitchen! Surprising how similar our overall shape design came out to be haha finished mine a few months ago.
I just got a ton of great ideas for my upcoming build!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
This is a smart guy
Hi mate…. Love your work… I’m in Australia and wanting to build my own… do you have some measurements… cheers Rick
Nice work! Outstanding build!
awesome. got many great ideas from you. thanks
Brigham is awesome!
Thanks dude!
Absolutely love this camper idea!!!
Glad you like it!
Very impressive! I'd love to build one of these myself one day.
Very nice build
I really like how much simple things you used.
The Budget is amazing
bravo on the design, angled corner cabinets, salvage frame, all good. let us know how it's holding up after 10 years
Beautiful! Thank you! Great job and thanks for sharing
Really nice build. Lots of great features.
Very nice Chanel. Arrive in the right moment. Thank you
Great build. Been working on mine for about 2 months now and I cant wait to be done.
these are some serious pearls on budget building, that poor mans fiberglass tip is probably gonna save me a few hundred alone
Nice job. We love our tiny cargo camper - it's just so practical for us.
This is a masterpiece, bravo sir
WOW! I'd really love one of these.
Awesome job. Looking to build one of my own. Very helpful and got some great ideas.
