    Thanks for sharing the build info and your design. I am recently retired and considering doing something similar to be able to do some traveling around the country for a while. I too will be pulling mine with a 1/2 ton pickup (that also has a cab height camper shell on it).

    i like it...got me thinking now hahah........i would make 4 arms, holding high lift jacks that stick outside the trailer so you can just drive the trailer out or the trailer in...simple.
    good job mate

  • @dennisrocker
    @dennisrocker Місяць тому

    That's jam up. I'm about your size, maybe a tad heavier. I don't want anything that I use to seem flimsy. Having been an exhibit builder introduced me to many handy concepts of mobility. You do fine work and planning.

    Nice camper! I live in GA so I would have to have a window unit in stalled in mine (if I were ever to build one)

  • @johnhood3611
    @johnhood3611 9 місяців тому

    Nice camper build! Don't know whether you have any insulation in the roof. Also, as you have a rear door, what happens when you have rain (or snow) and you want to access the rear store? Without an awning, I guess you get wet. I did come across a fan-fold awning that would open from its store along one side of the camper and provide a 270degree covered area. Otherwise I guess you could have a shorter fold out than you have along the sides of your existing camper. Great job, guys!

    What are your thoughts on making a similar camper pod 6 feet tall to be able to stand in it? Do you think it will create excessive wind resistance or instability. Weight wont be an issue since my utility trailer is aluminum and only 550 lbs.

    If want light for camper at nite use the small solar walk way lights the ones that stick in the ground just charge and use inside no eletric needed...And find a red light for out side pourch lite and for inside light will not attract bugs or wake other person up when go to the potty or something ...

    Is that a full or queen size tri-fold mattress?

    • @LivingOurAmericanDream
      @LivingOurAmericanDream  9 місяців тому +1

      Had a queen but it rubbed the sides too much to fold up easily so this is a full.

    How is the living quarters attached to the trailer?

    • @LivingOurAmericanDream
      @LivingOurAmericanDream  10 місяців тому +1

      Great question. The original design used two 1/4” steel cables attached though the bottom skids of the pod and wrapped around the main trailer frame. Just last week I modified the design to utilize four large steel bolts and brackets on the pod. I will be posting a video on this in the future.

    Nice build! Looks fun. What power source are you using? Battery, inverter, etc? Any solar? Thanks from N. FL

    • @LivingOurAmericanDream

      Right now just shore power. Planning a trip to Yellowstone next year and will be implementing batteries.

    I know that the camper is ten feet long, but how long is the sleeping area, please? I am guessing 84 inches based on the mattress size and room at the end.

    Your mattress link is going to an unavailable product. You might want to update that if you’re an Amazon affiliate.

  • @ericwhite5655
    @ericwhite5655 13 днів тому

    Anyone who thinks that attachment method has problems no idea the strength of steel cables. Even 1/4 steel cables have like 5000lbs break force depending on grade so with 2 that's 10000 lbs. I guarantee if you're in a wreck bad enough to snap those then the trailer frame itself would probably break first.

    • @LivingOurAmericanDream
      @LivingOurAmericanDream  13 днів тому

      Thank you!
      The only issue I had with that method was the pod would slide up to an inch during transit sometimes. Due to that and my OCD, I invented a different attachment method using the stake pockets in the trailer and some custom made brackets on the pod subframe. It works awesome and there is zero movement in any direction.
      Thank for watching!

    An idea which I’m sure you thought of solar panels on the roof and brackets to hold water jugs and fuel jugs also

    • @jenniferj7588
      @jenniferj7588 4 місяці тому

      Just put water jugs in vehical with you and just get solar setup that does not need to be installed on roof no holes to leak ...Put Extra fuel on truck or jeep not on camper better idea.. Just my 2 cents ....

    • @jenniferj7588
      @jenniferj7588 4 місяці тому

      You can leave camper in shade and put solar in the sun away from camper keeps camper from roasting during the day less to cool down at nite ....

      Yeah, there’s insulation around the entire sleeping quarters. For the back door, yes, no awning there. Those 270 degree units are slick but very expensive. Also, I didn’t find on that would cover both sides and the back in the co figuration I have so I went with individuals. Works great for us.
