    Beware of scammers! These types of videos are feeding grounds for the grimy parasites of the earth. Do not believe any comments or messages from anyone other than @WanderTears. There are no spelling variations (underscores, dashes, numbers, etc) to our name on any platform. Parasites - if you are reading this - I know your struggles. To climb out of the hole your are in is a challenge but we all believe in you. There is a better way.

    I just got done visiting some of my family on the Navajo Reservation for a couple nights (that is 3 hours away from where I currently live) and something like this would be perfect for visits like I just did, which include many miles of remote dirt roads that see little maintenance.

    This camper is great. We're looking at getting/making one ourselves someday which would allow us to extend our camping season up here in the PNW.

    I keep seeing Wander Tears recommended in the small camper community and it looks great! Excited to see this build and what else you do in the future!

    Impressive as it is convincing! I love the walkthroughs of the CAD screen showing the drawings and the build out step by step. Impressive close ups, chill/clear commentary/explanations, and awesome relationship in action. Y’all rock! On a final note, I would draw a parallel to using open source software. I am certain this approach will gain feedback and iteration that will result in higher reliability, higher function, and put a lot of value on final product.

      I also received an email that I was the winner of the giveaway, but i also saw a post that the winner is announced on 25-dec. I guess there is some glitch and/or learning going on. No worries, stuff happens. Just glad to be part of this!

    Absolutely perfect design. I was 1 week away from completing my first teardrop for my wife and girls to use as our getaway pod…and then our house burned down and got the camper too. We are putting pieces of our lives back together but building another teardrop had to move down the list of priorities. Winning a giveaway like this would be incredible and give us the chance to get outdoors again where we find peace and tranquility. Awesome ideas guys.

    So I just bought my first new truck. My dream has been to buy, or build a trailer like this. I love how open you guys are about building one, and not just selling your product. If I were to have one I would use it to go to Yellowstone, or even down to the Oregon coast.

    • @WanderTears

    I'd take it pretty much everywhere I go. I live in Alabama and love to hunt, fish, camp, and scuba dive. I see it making frequent trips to the Alabama and Florida coast as well as lots of Florida fresh water inland springs for Scuba adventures, because hotels get waaayyyyy too expensive to stay in all the time and I'm too old for a tent and sleeping bag. It would also visit many state parks and Rock Climbing sites around the Southeast, as my oldest daughter loves Rock Climbing and I thoroughly enjoy seeing her happy!! Love your builds!!

    First off, thank you for doing this! I will be heading out of state 1st of the yr and have been looking into every possible way to lessen the cost of working out of state while sending money back to my family to pay the bills. This would help me so much by not having to rent, use a long stay hotel, or come up with the means to build this myself. Win or not, someone will be blessed. Thanks again for this opportunity!

    I love the passion and amount of effort you both put back into the DIY camper community. I would love to build my own one day and your channel and website have been an excellent starting point. Who knows if I'll ever get a chance to own one but I can always live vicariously through your channel!

    Absolutely love this DIY camper build series! The Rambler design looks both rugged and practical, perfect for off-road adventures without breaking the bank. The step-by-step guide is super helpful, especially the SketchUp tutorial and assembly process on the Ironton trailer frame. It’s inspiring to see a project like this come together on a budget under $5K! Thanks for the in-depth breakdown, and fingers crossed for the giveaway - this camper would be a dream to own! Keep up the awesome work!

    @gregmoen8299 28 днів тому

    It would be a good addition to show the completed camper and maybe a compare and contrast between this and your other campers. Having a camper like this would be dandy because it would be a great place to store the equipment so that you can just go when you have some time.

    Teardrop campers are so cool. I bought plans to build one, but I don't know if I will get it built. I like that they are more manageable and don't need a $70,000 truck to pull. I also like that they are small enough that you have to go outside while camping.
