This is the sixth video in our series about how to build a tiny camper trailer. I show you how to add interior walls to your square drop camper. Micro campers and teardrop trailers have become super popular lately. Having a warm place to sleep at night makes camping much more enjoyable, especially with little ones. Speaking of little ones, they can get extremely messy and dirty in the great outdoors. The FRP panels we use for this camper make cleanup a breeze. I highly suggest using FRP panels for your build.

Love the music selection!!
Thanks Bo! I'll keep that in mind for the next one.
Let's Do THIS!!!
Love how this camper turned out!
Definitely worth the long nights in the shop finishing it.
Nice! I’ve been keeping a look out for the next episode of the build, great job on the build!
Thanks so much for your support Thomas. Sometimes it is hard to find time to edit the episodes, which is why I am so inconsistent with posting. I appreciate those of you supporting me anyway!
Excellent video man! I've got a trailer that I'm gonna build your exact floor plan on. Thanks for the awesome vids.
Awesome! Thank you! Let me know if you have any questions.
Ayo! Today is literally my birthday! You did this just for me I know it! Lol
Josh, just for you! Happy Birthday!
It’s looking good! If you have to cut any more large sheets, you might want to try getting a large panel of solid foam insulation and laying that under the sheet you’re cutting. It’s way easier and much more solid than messing with scrap wood and no worries of the blade hitting cement.
That's a great idea. If I build another, I'll definitely go that route. Thanks for the tip!
It's very interesting
Thank you!
Personally vs frp I prefer the use of 3.6mm ply as you can use a braid nailer to fix in place plus glue. I tend to prefer a 4.way stretch carpet on the walls (green carpet on the ceiling with a blue on the sides always looks sweet imo.
Interesting idea! Thanks for the insight. The FRP, while a little hard to work with, is SUPER easy to clean, which was important to me. Thanks for watching!
I like how you saved on weight and glued the FRP to the interior...My cargo trailer is aluminum on steel 'Z' bracing and the inside plywood is half the strength of the wall...
I'm a big fan of the FRP. If you have the supports/insulation for it to be glued to, it is fantastic stuff. Real easy to clean, and no need for paint touch ups.
@@FunkeAdventures I used FRP on my clg. but it's screwed on with self tapping TEK screws. really clean install...
Hey mate! Looks great!
Would you happen to have a diagram/measurements of the camper?
Wanting to do this myself and I love the shape/size/layout of yours.
Cheers from down under!
Hey! Thanks so much for watching and subscribing. I appreciate the support. If you give me a couple of weeks, I'll try to get a diagram together to help you out. But I can also give you some rough numbers now.
The camper/trailer base is 5 feet by 8 feet. The back wall that separates the cabin from the galley is set in the perfect spot to fit a queen sized mattress. So that back wall is 80 inches back from the front wall. I would find what mattress you are going to use and then just use the exact measurement of the length of the mattress. The notch in the front upper section is 1 foot down and 1 foot back.
That gives you a rough layout of dimensions, but I will see what I can do to get you a more detailed explanation in a couple of weeks. Thanks again!
@@FunkeAdventures thanks so much!
Happy camping :)
Would you use FRP For the outside panels as well?
Definitely. Some people use a type of FRP called Filon. I would be interested in using that on a future build.
Word to the wise. Just tilt your mattress up against the wall for storage and put a few moisture absorbers for gun safes in there. You'll thank me later.
That's a great recommendation. Thanks Sloan!
How tall are your sidewalls?
4 feet tall. The exterior sidewalls are made of 4 x 8 sheets of 3/4 inch plywood. The interior sidewalls are probably 44 inches tall (because of insulation, flooring, and ceiling materials).
