      great video. if you are curious about bicycle campers you should search for "Fahrradwohnwagen" (german translation for bicycle camper) or "Fahrradwohnwagen Treffen" ---bicycle camper meetup" you can find tons of videos of people building vlogging and doing meetups with bicycle campers.

    It was an excellent video, well done!!!!
    2 THINGS TO MENTION :
    1. I believe you can add two more smaller wheels in the front, so that it wont hit the road or anything and probably add a lot of stability.
    2. Prolly you'll gotta paint the exterior with wooden paint so that the creases don't show that much .
    KEEP UP THE NICE WORK HOSER 🤟

    Few obvious alterations to make this better. 1 - the hitch needs to raise the front up. 2 - parking legs/chocks that allow for levelling to keep it from moving when it is being used. 3 - sealant around the inside (especially the front edge - you can see daylight). But its a great design and brilliant video. I even like the ad section 😂

  • @fjolliff6308
    @fjolliff6308 Рік тому +20

    You did an amazing job! I'd recommend some lightweight trim to act as a bit of bumper all the way around the trailer to prevent anymore little accidents from doing damage to the shell. I also recommend a small swiveling wheel or two on the front of the camper to keep it from dragging when you hit a bump.

    • @j.b.9581
      @j.b.9581 Рік тому +3

      The small swivel wheel is a BRILLIANT idea. A swivel wheel would not only keep the front of the bike trailer off the ground, it would help during turns. @DavidRule, are you reading this??

    Entertaining though the camper isn’t leveled when riding, it’s clearly uneven when riding. During the entire time I’m trying to figure-out how it didn’t break with just a pothole or even a stick, not to mention how you were able to sleep in it. Other than that minor error which can be fixed, not too bad.
