The camper at the end of this with the birch wood on the slide out and the TVs and the vacuum is totally totally outrageous it is better than anything I’ve ever seen on any small trailer he should really have that design and sell it to people that make campers that bathroom is beautiful
Camp and Camera still building, I’ve posted a bunch of pictures in an album in the diy group, it’s a squaredrop but I’m going to make it match my Jurassic Park Jeep. The album is called The T-Rex Containment Unit 71
Awesome Videos Mike. I just binge watched all three episodes. Your people are lovely, I wish I could have been there - but its just too far from New Zealand hahaha. Lockdown curtailed my summer camping here. Now we are out and we have rainy cold Fall weather. So Im working on another Land Rover to tow my Stealthdrop. This time a Long wheel base so we have oodles more space for carrying toys.
Mike I sure enjoy the DIY trailer builds! Your ear must be low to the ground, because you hear about the coolest builds at camp!!! Your still the "King Of Kool" Here's To 10,000 Subs!!! w.w./Oklahoma
I really like the "cooler on wheels"! What a great idea for the bed. I'm in the planning phase, and might incorporate this design element since my husband rarely goes camping with me.
Again, awesome! We have learned to close the galley every time you leave, or them squirrels have their own party. They like chocolate chip cookies, too. Also, raccoons eat raw chicken, crawfish, everything!
Michael, these interviews are fantastic! These diy camper engineers are brilliant! Thanks for sharing - we got so many ideas and inspiration from watching 😊 blessings, ~ Maria
Just completed a WeeRoll Classic build. Great fun to outfit, build, and now use. Great builds and yes the last one was unbelievable. Thanks for the many tours.
Enjoyed all the DYI Camping videos... maybe next year I'll attempt to make the trip from Oregon and see all the great trailers and fine people who built them. Thanks for sharing sir... was great!
I love the channel. I have built 10 teardrop's over the years and still new design/idea's just never end. I might have to build another one. Still waiting for the cargo trailer build. Thanks for sharing.
This campout sure looked like a lot of fun . Im getting ideas now for my next build . The slide out idea has always been bouncing around in my head , that build was was awesome .
Wow, there were some amazing talented people at that little get together. Amazing little setups I must say. This teardrop things starting to catch on over here inthe UK thank god. I think if you've got the knowhow the do it. One life live it...
Nice new intro! sorry I missed the premier! that foamy would dlow away in our winds uup here in ND soo light! WOW he really fit a full-size camper into a large teardrop that's crazy!! thanks for sharing the builds you where able to get to!
Man! That last camper was amazing...they all were...but especially that last one! I was going to call my wife in here to look at it, but she has already declared that we would be the "Cousin Eddy" of one of those gatherings, so if she saw that one, I might not ever get her to one of those gatherings! LOL! Looks like you guys had a fun weekend.
Mike: It blows me away on how good of a job you do on these videos. I don't know what you do/did for a living, but if it wasn't this stuff -you missed your calling.
@@CampandCamera I was wondering the same thing lastnight while watching your videos untill the sun came up :/ So just curious if its personal I understand. What do you do for a living?
I wish I was a full-time UA-camr! Lol! My day job is quality assurance manager and environmental compliance guy for a manufacturer. It sounds way bigger than it is though. I’m basically the guy that does whatever nobody else wants to!
@@CampandCamera You sound like a Dad lol I get all the Jobs in my house that nobody wants and I am always digging stuff out of our trash that needs to be recycled :) Great job on the videos.
We went to the teardrop outing in Bennett Springs Missouri and decided to go look at campers to get some ideas and solicit some help. When we got back to camp, there was a squirrel on the picnic table putting all his effort into trying to get the lid off my peanut butter jar.
I enjoyed your other videos of this series and learned there are great people who enjoy building campers vs buying one factory made. Only wish you did a walk around of each unit to get a better view of them 👍🏻 thanks for sharing
Love that maiden voyage camper from Michigan! But a potty I would have in that roomy camper. Great job! Wait!! Sherman from Alabama (my home state), I must connect with you! That camper is calling my name! Excellent job doesn't say it right! Congratulations! What's your tow vehicle?
I'm a motocamper (Harley/ trailer), and I'm planning a foamie too! A goldwing is perfect, and,able to pull the heavies, like Timeouts or Rollahomes. I want foam for the lightness, as I'm more of a performance rider, and she's a modified torque monster, but still just 2 cylinders. I'm collecting ideas from these sites and plan to build (totally budgeted) over my Harder Fate 4x4 trailer I use now with a cartopper. I'm thinking NO plywood, but a light frame covered with the 1-1/2" foam, and a bit of a low roof tear, with 2 side doors and a rear galley hatch. A bucket for a sink with drain hose, second bucket rides inside for waste removal, a manual pump. I've built and used Penny stoves and alcohol, so we're used to those and an old foldable stove rack to cook on. Our 4 man, 4 season tent will still deploy next to the tear, a vestibule tarp connecting to hold gear, and it'll serve as a covered porch. I liked the guy with the galley hatch with canvas sides for protection; not sure I'll want more, like an overhead, but that's 550 cord and tarp easy. I've set up and taken down tents in the rain, but to just open a door and hop my 68yr old butt in? FABULOUS! One thing I'll keep ready is an inside door to the galley and some kind of reachable munchies. No use starving in a storm! Loud lights save lives! My.hawg has 17 lights plus blue LED's under the tank to light up all the chrome, like a Chinese circus. I expect I'll make the wagon visible as well, melting channels with a woodburner for wires, covered with lightweight wallboard mud and the fibreglass. God Bless LED's! Hope I gave something back, love your content too brah!
@@CampandCamera When I finally get started I'll be videotaping it. Gotta set up a channel; I have other random videos out there too - not nearly enough.
Hi. I am new to your channel and I love it! Awesome stuff. I am about to open my own business making these mini campers. I love all the ideas. Great stuff and I hope to make it to. gathering soon after COVID 19. Thank you.
Bravo Michael you are a great ambassador to the DIY'ERS. That was a great finale. Great builds. Have you given any thought about the upper peninsula gathering .
I love all the DIY trailers you showed at the gathering I have been wanting to build my own camper and have done up drawings on what i want it to look like and then I see the DIY masterclass camper and i love it i just know it would be to big for my 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport to pull the one thing i have not been able to find is a tear drop with a pop up roof top to give you more head room and that is what i want on mine i found a place to make the canvas for me the only thing is I have people tell me it is a lot of trouble because of the leaks it will have do you know of any one that has done something like that on a DIY that can maybe help me out
I have been checking out your videos for the past few days and I was wondering if you have a video on all the tools you will need for a DYI build for a teardrop trailer and possibly links for the tools? Ive seen a few other videos of people building but the video is choppy and you cant hear them half the time so you are at the top of my list of DYI teardrop build videos.
I did a tool video a long time ago, but it badly needs to be updated. Here’s the link, but I REALLY need to redo this one: ua-cam.com/video/YBZ_GGhNNoA/v-deo.html
Interesting, plz take ur time and focus more on the many details. I enjoyed the subject but wanted more content, time spent on more of features. There was so much thete, like a buffet, yet it felt like a drive thru. Great ideas and builds from that event. Thanks for sharing.
I was wondering if these people r wiling to take a contract to build a similar camper for possible customers. I would like a camper like the last one built for a larger guy that just isn't found out in market.
Thank you for a very nice video. I read the comments and believe that most followers would like a more detailed tour at SHERMAN'S camper! I do too. I looked him up on UA-cam and Google, but he didn't publish. Maybe you could reach out to him and ask him to tell a bit more.
The 2022 gathering will also be at the Edgar Evins SP. it’s a really cool place being able to camp on a porch. It will likely be in April. I’ll announce it a few months ahead of time.
@@CampandCamera Thank you, We are currently starting our build and would like to try and make it next year. We plan to be in that area in May but that could change. Thanks again, Having a blast watching all your videos of the events.
Hey, I’m 16 and I’m really interested in building one of my own. I’ve got the tools and space, but I just am worried about how much it would cost. I think I just would want a simple one to take out with a couple friends, so nothing too bad. Is there a certain type that would be simpler or cheaper? Thanks!
Sounds like a fun project is on the horizon! You can build a basic teardrop affordably. I’d look around and try to find an old beat up pop-up camper that someone is willing to let go of to pull the frame from. With a little work, pop-up frames make great teardrop frames. For the box, just use 3/4” plywood and cover it with “Poor mans fiberglass.” Google that term. You don’t really need a bunch of fancy electrical stuff in it, so a basic 12v marine battery and a couple 12v outlets could get you by. I would still recommend buying either a fantastic fan or Maxxfan for the roof. It’s an essential item in warm weather. Lastly, be sure to join the “DIY Teardrop Campers Community” Facebook group. Lots of help there. Good luck!!
Does Sherman have a blog or whatever where he has pictures of his camper? I want to build one like this, i was looking on internet some hour and this is what i need. Thx
@@CampandCamera loving the videos and I'm sold! I want to start a build on a harbor freight frame, they have a deal for the 1195 lb trailer for 269. Should I go with this or hold off until the 1720lb trailer goes on sale. I'm dieing to get started, but would like your opinion, thanks!
Definitely hold off for the 1,720lb trailer! Also, you’ll want to put larger wheels/tires on it. Another option would be to acquire an old pop up camper for a couple hundred bucks and take it down to the frame, then cut away the extra width. You’ll also have a bunch of parts to use!
@@CampandCamera well that makes it even better i wish he made a build series like yours id be subscribing for sure. Now i gotta redraw plans for mine i never thought of a recessed floor well my weekends planned now lol
The camper at the end of this with the birch wood on the slide out and the TVs and the vacuum is totally totally outrageous it is better than anything I’ve ever seen on any small trailer he should really have that design and sell it to people that make campers that bathroom is beautiful
I have never seen a teardrop with a shower NICE!
That last one is on a whole other level, calling the builder a master is a truly well deserved accolade.
Yep, the last trailer is quite impressive!
That last camper was nicer than anything I've seen from a factory
Indeed!
Great job Sherman you really showed your skills on this camper !!!!!
What a wonderful event!
The Cobra kit was amazing! Incredibly brilliant!
A Big happy family!
Can't wait to build mine and meet all the great people in this community
Some awesome campers. Would of loved to have seen the foam camper. Light and affordable. Door looks good.
That last camper is absolutely amazing! As always great video!
Thank you!
Excellent Video! Thank You.
I love the square tear drop
What an awesome way to end a series of videos! I again want to thank you for attending and covering our event. Hope to see you next year in Arkansas!
Thank you very much
Awesome craftsmanship, all around.
You and your channel were the inspiration that prompted me to build my camper, thank you!
That’s awesome!! What did you build?
Camp and Camera still building, I’ve posted a bunch of pictures in an album in the diy group, it’s a squaredrop but I’m going to make it match my Jurassic Park Jeep. The album is called The T-Rex Containment Unit 71
Now that would be cool!
Awesome Videos Mike. I just binge watched all three episodes. Your people are lovely, I wish I could have been there - but its just too far from New Zealand hahaha. Lockdown curtailed my summer camping here. Now we are out and we have rainy cold Fall weather. So Im working on another Land Rover to tow my Stealthdrop.

Sorry about missing the camping season. This year has been crazy! The Land Rover sounds cool!
Some good ideas here. I have to join this group.
wow that unit with the slide is amazing.
More awesome campers! My favorite is the last one, with the bathroom and slide out.
It was awesome!
Your wife is absolutely adorable. You are a very lucky man. Congratulations
I’m definitely blessed.
Mike I sure enjoy the DIY trailer builds! Your ear must be low to the ground, because you hear about the coolest builds at camp!!! Your still the "King Of Kool"
Here's To
10,000 Subs!!!

Thank you! I sure enjoy making these videos.
We have done a number of Tearjerkers gatherings. Lots of fun.
Tearjerkers are a great group!
I really like the "cooler on wheels"! What a great idea for the bed. I'm in the planning phase, and might incorporate this design element since my husband rarely goes camping with me.
Again, awesome! We have learned to close the galley every time you leave, or them squirrels have their own party. They like chocolate chip cookies, too. Also, raccoons eat raw chicken, crawfish, everything!
I’m glad it wasn’t a raccoon on bear!

We’d love to see you there! Next spring, the gathering will be in Arkansas.
Sweet! Keep me posted, I'll try my best to make it! (a lot closer!) :)
Great job Mike... every video I watch, just makes me want to start another build.
Thank you! I want to do one also. I don’t know why, but it’s addictive!
It definitely is! Especially when you get new ideas!
Love this! I live 30 minutes from Murphy
Once again thank you so very much for your video’s. You have inspired me to look into building my own.
You’re very welcome. Fingers crossed that you’ll build one too!
Another fantastic video. Nice Job.
Greatly enjoyed your videos, relaxed and very informative. Cheers Steve
Thank you!

Kool video and great work 👍
you did a awesome job. it looks like a factory unite good work

Good luck on your build!!
Another great video Michael!
Thanks so much!
Hey Sherman! West Point checking in! Awesome build!
One day I’ll have the courage build one of theses ... great video
You can do it. It’s not as hard as you’d think. Keep it simple and you’ll be fine. Go for it!!
Wow, there were some amazing talented people at that little get together. Amazing little setups I must say. This teardrop things starting to catch on over here inthe UK thank god. I think if you've got the knowhow the do it. One life live it...
Teardrops are becoming a movement!
Can't wait for the September meet up!
@coal city bubble makers in the UP of Michigan
Nice new intro! sorry I missed the premier! that foamy would dlow away in our winds uup here in ND soo light! WOW he really fit a full-size camper into a large teardrop that's crazy!! thanks for sharing the builds you where able to get to!
Thanks! I wish I could have toured them all. I watched your video earlier. Looks like you’re getting close to having your frame chopped down.
Another great video from Mike!!!
Thanks man!
Last camper was on point. Manufacturers out there better take note. Wonder if that guy would take orders!
I couldn’t have said it better!
thanks very much good job
Thank you!
I love the last one
The last one was incredible!
Excellent series makes me want to finish mine. Some very good examples what can be built and not bought
These builders were very talented!

@@CampandCamera were you able to make it to the Bennett Springs outing?
@@jeffgrippen3987 Not this year. We’re saving vacation days for the CRA event in Indiana.
Each one was cool in its own way but that last one really was on a different level. Hoping to make it out with ours sometime.
I hope we cross paths at a gathering.
great show... i live canada , quebec... thanks for many tips...
Amazing Videos Thank you !!!
Thanks for watching!
Last camper was really beautiful...not what I would consider a tear drop though it has that shape. It's a full RV trailer.

Thank you!
Another great video! Saw John Miller there but didn't see a tour of his Dragon Lair...
This episode predates the Lair. I hope to see it sometime though.
I sure would love to build one. Got some ideas, but too many other things I got to take care of and not enough money. Some day though. 👍
The day will come!

Hey Mike next time you have an event at Cumberland Mountain State Park let me know. I don't have a tear drop but would love to vivst!
Sure thing!
If you’re looking for motorcycle sized towable camper ideas, look up the Idaho bedroll. Maybe you can make it sized for 2 .
I really like that last teardrop with that bathroom and shower combination don't judge a book by it's cover buddy just kidding
For sure!
May god bless America and the great people who makes it the great place it is!
I was sure born in the wrong country...
We’re blessed to be here.

For your motorcycle trailer ......................Have you seen "Kompact Kamp Mini mate" ? only 260lbs
Hmmm, I’ll check it out!
The 6x8 might just be the perfect size , heck 6x10 might be better ? What do yall think ?
Great video! Where can someone find the tent canopy used with the red teardrop?
I’m not sure of the brand, but like you, am impressed with it! I just Googled “Teardrop Camper Canopy” and similar units came up.

Definitely hold off for the 1,720lb trailer! Also, you’ll want to put larger wheels/tires on it. Another option would be to acquire an old pop up camper for a couple hundred bucks and take it down to the frame, then cut away the extra width. You’ll also have a bunch of parts to use!

Visit the “DIY Teardrop Campers Community” on Facebook. Lots of great ideas there. Some use utility trailers, gutted pop-ups, etc.
That last one was really nice , was it 5 ft tall inside? Hard to tell from video but thats an awesome floor plan
It’s an incredible build!
@@CampandCamera was it 5 foot inside?
It was 6 foot tall inside, but the floor was recessed below the frame.
