OBM, you are a textbook example of the words attention to detail. This is such a great video series and you're doing quite a service to those who really want a weekend project combined with a finished product that they can use for years to come to build life long memories. As always my friend, be safe in your build and thanks so much for sharing.
Great video. Enjoy a lot more the length of this one. Also there is benefits at your end when you go beyond the 10 min length with the UA-cam algorithm. You're a very talented person and your teaching skills are amazing. Thanks for the content!
I really like the idea of using aluminum for under the lid, gonna have to do that when I get around to the interior build of mine. Looking good, always happy to see new videos, and just realized that we ended up using the same tail lights on your first camper.
Hey DR! Using the aluminum instead of a 1 x 2 (or something like that) still gives plenty of room underneath to put things in and out of, PLUS... I think it looks way better! :)
I’m actually going to suspend my build this weekend and round up the materials . The way you are building this thing is Quality ! I will e mail for the plans .
Awesome! No need to rush the build, once you get materials and the drawings, and you have a plan... the build will go pretty quick! :) Glad you stopped by to check out the videos!
Thank you Matt! No... no plans for a 10' just yet. I might have to sit down and do a little design work as I do get requests for wider and longer teardrop. Thank you for watching!
OBM, the storage panel under the cooler is a great idea. Have you had any issues when you filled the cooler with items and the weight of the cooler affecting the aluminum? Even with the wooden lid, I'm thinking that the weight might cause bending, drooping, or loosening the screws. Any issues since it's been a few years?
Hello! Since there is a drawer for the cooler directly above the storage area, no weight actually comes in contact with the lid. I am confident that even without the drawer, the aluminum support for the storage lid is plenty strong enough to support the weight of a full cooler, given the fact the aluminum is 1/8" and secured with a ba-zillion screws! :) Thanks for checking it out and the comment!
Hi Danny... currently the price for the plans are $15 I 've included the link below for you if you are interested... www.paypal.me/OregonBatman97741/15
As usual thats well thought out Al. I am about 3/4 through with the one I am building 8x6 5' 6" high. Weight will be around 900 -1200 lb I think. I will have to get heavier springs.What weight springs do you suggest.
Hi George! Hoping to see some pictures of your build sometime soon! I'm thinking if you keep the springs around the 2000# mark, that will give room for some payload and travel. I'm sort of partial to the torsion axles myself... but I don't do a lot of off road camping yet or would be thinking of using the springs.
@@OregonBatman So about 1000lb each side is what I am thinking, had to slow down the build, I think my shoulder needs a rebuild. Had shots but still bloody painful.
I have very much enjoyed your videos about both trailers so far! Why did you choose to use the aluminum strips to hold the lids up? Could you have used 1x2” wood instead?
Hi Rick! Thanks for watching! I decided on the aluminum as it is only 1/8" thick. The storage under is 3-1/2" deep, so if I used a 1 x 2, I would be losing just a bit of space to get things in and out of the storage area. Trying to make the best use of space as possible. Hope that helps! Cheers!
@@OregonBatman okay cool, i was planning a full time build, do you have the design in a CAD file? Btw, the build quality and level of detail in the video is a big credit to you.
@@len8417 Thank you! No CAD files unfortunately.... I kinda keep those for myself. But all of the hard work is done and it won't take much time at all to build Thanks again for the comment!
@@OregonBatman Thanks for the maths. We have in Germany the old dimension Pfund which means pound, where 2 Pfund equals exactly 1 kg. So its almost like lbs (almost 1/2). Therefore I have to give a few.;-)

Thanks Donald!
Good video. You solved a couple of my design issues on how to finish off rear bottom of hatch. Thank You. Regards Mick.
Awesome! That's good news... thank you for taking time to watch!

nice job,as always! Please say hello to Jack!
Thank you Carlos! I will... :)
Incredibly detailed videos. Really nice work. Do you happen to have a plan for a 10 ft trailer?
Thank you Matt! No... no plans for a 10' just yet. I might have to sit down and do a little design work as I do get requests for wider and longer teardrop. Thank you for watching!
Great video!
Thank you sir!!
Do you use a table saw for cutting the cabinet components? I'm wondering how to make uniform cuts with a circular saw.
For a majority of the parts I used a table saw... for hole cut outs and leaning up edges, I used a router. That gives me the cleanest cut

Sounds about right George! Wishing you a speedy recovery my friend! Take it easy on the shoulder!
Good job
can you tell me where I bought windows and doors
Thank you Saleh! I purchased doors and windows from Affordable RVing www.affordablervparts.com/ Great people!
Thanks my friend 🤗
You are very welcome!

Thank ya Rick! See ya next week! :)
Great job. Lot of screws.
Thank ya Jim Bo!
@OregonBatman How long was the build in Total?
took me a year.... will take you a month or two, unless you make a video step-by-step :)

Hi there, how can I buy the plans?
Payment came through and sent you the plans! Thank you! Happy Building!
@@OregonBatman It´s Done... Thank you! Best wishes from Brazil.
Are these plans for sale? I cant wait to get started?!
Just emailed them to you John.....
Great video, better than the others, which were also good. Do you have a rough estimate how heavy the camper will be?
Thanks DocM! I am taking a guess that it will weigh in at around 1000# when finished... I'll do final weigh-in once completed! Thanks again!
@@OregonBatman Because I am a metric German: 1000 lbs?
Well sir... that looks like it comes out to about 453.59 KG... give or take a few! :)
@@OregonBatman Thanks for the maths. We have in Germany the old dimension Pfund which means pound, where 2 Pfund equals exactly 1 kg. So its almost like lbs (almost 1/2). Therefore I have to give a few.;-)
Ahhhh... I looked it up, and it looks like converting pounds to pfund is 1000 pounds equals 907.18474 pfund. That sound about right?
