Looks great guys! One caution: The 16ga extension cord you used is rated up to 13 amps or 1430 watts. Most space heaters can run up to 1800 watts so if you try to plug it in, you will overload and overheat the wires. What you can do is buy a 12ga cord and plug that in separately in your campground outlet.
14 gauge extension cord would have been a much better choice. You can use a separate 14-gauge just for the heater or like somebody else said a 12 gauge. I know $$$
@@michelleparks4582 it's not insulated. It is wrapped in Tyvek waterproof plastic, but NO INSULATION. Drywall right and pallet clabbords over 2x2 balloon framing and a steel roof over open beams. It is more insulated than a tent just due to bulk. If they hung foam board instead of drywall...or they stuck foam board in the voids...or they sprayed expanding foam in ...then some insulation. The bus windows are single pane, but safety glass, frames are aluminum...so it is pretty R zero. It is fine for what it is. Most of their builds use drywall qith mud joints and marble tile flooring...yet we never see it a year later after they've bumped over gravel campground roads or boondocked. I'd like to see how those two things really hold up. I wouldn't put either in the rigs...but if they work long term I'd keep an open mind.
Awesome! An improvement to your build would be an extension to fill out the space above the cab. That way you end up with way more space and make it more aerodynamic as well.
Thats an amazing DIY. Love it. One thing ive learned is that staining your boards (especially for the ceiling) prior to installing them is much easier than staining them once theyre on the ceiling. Same goes for trim
I think what keeps the cost down is the fact that they have amazing DIY skills, so there's no labour costs. Great job, guys! Also I'm worried about what they're going to do when they need to replace the extension cord. Rip up all the walls/ceiling?
I've noticed a pattern with his vids and I have a sinking feeling that this won't be used for long and he'll be making another "tiny home" video in the near future
@@DarkTakanuva Agree. There is no way this thing will last more than a year or two if its moved often. And that wiring job. I didn't see a single part of it that even came close to code.
And they did everything they could to ensure that the wiring either fails or fails and burns everything done. No grommets or strain relief, no wire staples, wrong type of conductor, concealed junction boxes, no apparent GFCI or AFCI, etc. Oh, and no apparent fusing, unless i just missed it.And those "jack" boards, painted black? I can't wait until someone, probably a kid, walks face first into those or they snag a cyclist. I hope they have lots of insurance.
With the lower bed I would’ve made it so it has storage and make a couple legs for support and extend the lower bed out a little bit and have a couple Velcro/ magnetic cushions so that they stay in place :) great build 10/10
I can't believe how many of these idiots, including the builders, can't see that. This is a train wreck waiting to happen. It would make a great stationary doghouse.
as a fellow builder, this is very smart and efficiently made. This is the first build I've been truly impressed by for a long time. Gonna make my own plans to make one too!
Fantastic build! Impressive to bring it in at that price point. I do have one suggestion. Rather than use drywall, use 4x8 plastic panels from the big box store. It's about the same price, it'll save a LOT of weight, and there's no chance of cracking. I'd still use liquid nails, though.
Idk anything about building things, but I sure am nervous for them trying to sleep on those narrow beds. His leg was hanging off the bottom one, and somebody's gonna fall off that top bed during the night. It needs a rail!
you guys should use lighter colors like white, grey etc. because darker colors you used like dark blue and black absorb more heat when the suns out so that means it will be very hot inside
Really impressive- well done guys! I was thinking like another person who posted...that the ideas you shared would be such a potential way to help homeless ppl have a temporary roof while they figured the how-to get back on their feet❤ Amazing skills and speed!
In many cities it is illegal to sleep in your camper even in free parking areas. Its like tenting on public property you’re probably going to be asked to move endlessly
@@lasharonfulmer8194Yeah, it is definitely lacking on that, but some campsites have facilities for that. For everywhere else, a popup tent shower tent, cassette toilet, and a hanging shower bag would be needed as a minimum.
agree! $50,000 truck, plus tax, title, license, insurance, add cost of building or buying a butt ugly homemade camper and you're set ! No more homeless! ! Can just drive down the road 24/7. Oh wait, $4 /gal gas will add about $100 month. Not sure where you plug in for electricity, maybe can rent a campsite for $1500/month. Just hope finances were not the reason for homeless.
House wiring would’ve still been within budget. You seem to love building rolling fire hazards. 😂 Outside of that, it’s amazing! Love the vids. You guys are awesome!
Your countertop has me concerned, because if it is pressure-treated, fencing, it could have arsenic in it. Or you might check to see what other chemicals could have been used. Granted they may not still use arsenic, but at one point in time that was a thing. I did enjoy watching family team work. I like to watch videos similar to this occasionally to see creative thinking, and problem-solving. Best wishes.
Right, I believe pallet wood can also contain various chemicals that maybe aren't fatal but you wouldn't want to eat off. Should be fine for short camping stays.
Many times those pallets waiting behind stores are waiting to go back, on a truck, to the store's warehouse to be reused. It can be considered a theft, so people searching for pallets may want to ask first.
I love that it's not meant to be used in the truck - you can stick it at your fishing spot, camping spot, it could be your duck blind... Awesome idea all around.
Awesome build. The only thing I would have done different was make it a little wider and overhang the bedsides a little more to increase the interior width allowing you to make the beds a little wider. Probably something like a 6-8 inches overhang over each side. Also would have eliminated the window where the TV is so the TV could have been wallmounted higher.
Thanks for this video! I'm currently building a tiny home and just couldn't get around some huge expenses that weren't gonna fit in my budget, but this offered a ton of wonderful ideas to save money.
Fence picket boards are great. I am building a small 12x12 cabin in my backyard. I used fence boarding to do the sides, kinda like you did with the pallets.
Love these cheap build videos! Like you said, extension cord SHOULD NEVER BE ADVISED when running appliances like an AC unit (or in general). I'm curious how that drywall holds up, and the cotton candy insulation is a big yikes for me Dawgs. But if you're just using it a few times a year, great! Love how your ceiling turned out too with the stain
Honestly, depending on the gauge and the distance, it's probably fine. Most AC units aren't pulling more than 800w, while 500w and 750w heaters are a thing. Almost all cords can handle at least 1000w. As long as the use a gas camp stove instead of electric, I don't see that thing going beyond that 1000w limit.
You guys did an amazing job! To add more storage space I would put a shelf above the kitchen sink and counter - like the ones on boats with rails to keep things from falling off. Also mount the TV so you can use the counter space the TV is currently sitting on. Just some thoughts.
It looks fantastic, although I'd be worried about the wiring or lack thereof. If that was redone, I'd definitely put a mini fridge under the countertop. Overall, nice work, guys!
Woah, this is amazing! The work put into this tiny back of the truck house is just amazing! I can't believe all of that was less than $1,000! I bet if you added a black water tank and a fresh water tank to it and a toilet in one of the cabinets, you could live on the road using this! :D
I've been researching and watching videos on how to do this with my truck. This video is by far the best one I've seen and the build cost is 🎯 Great job guys👍
Another amazing build. I am genuinely impressed by the craftsmanship behind each of these builds, as well as the increased quality of each video. Keep it up!
Amazing build! My only concern I haven't seen anyone else point out tho is the black supports. Especially at night, those 2x4s sticking out could prove hazardous. People in camp running into them or accidentally hitting one into something while driving just because you forget they're there.
I would have made the "camper" part base as you did, but then I would add the couch width on to the outside of the base 100% (instead of narrowing the interior room.) A vehicle can be up to 8 feet wide without a special permit. This would increase the size of the overall space, as well as add more room to maneuver the pickup when backing up to load the camper.
They probably wanted to keep it within the frame of the truck to not block off the side view mirrors since, inevitably, your rear view mirror will be blocked by it. Technically, you could install cameras in the truck to negate the issue but that's a rather large expense for a temporary camper. If you were planning to stay in it longer than a few days though, or even live in it as some have suggested as a solution to homelessness, I'd definitely go with your suggestion and take on the extra expense for the cameras to be safe. Bluetooth cameras mounted on each side of the camper itself could also work as security cameras with the help of an extra screen or tablet so extra bonus points if you invest a bit more. 😀👍 They also didn't mention a source of water drainage from the sink. Or how they plan to have water or power if not on a campground. I mean, you'd need some kind of powerful source of electricity to run that air conditioner off grid (especially with that dark roof) and both a clean and grey water tank, plus some kind of toilet solution for if the weather is bad and you can't just go outside. 😒 Plus, where are you going to put your stuff? 🤔 Yes, you can keep some things in the truck but you're going to want a designated spot for at least a bag of clothes each indoors. Technically, you could have the bags on the floor at night and in the top bunk during the day but that might get irritating moving that every day for long periods of time. 😌 The main problem I, personally, have with the build is lack of privacy. Curtains or blinds on the windows and door, please. Unless you're an exhibitionist, you don't want people staring at you while you change, lol. 😅
I would put a railing on the upper bunk because my brother fell off his while sleeping when he was 16 and wildly messed up his face. Also, a composting toilet would have been a must have for me. Get rid of sink and enclose a tiny bathroom would be my suggestions. For a sink, a plastic tub is all thats needed. I agree with the others about wasted storage under the couch and also installing foldable leg room. Altogether, I absolutely loved watching and the closeness of your family. ❤
Simply amazing! My favorites: the vaulted ceiling and front porch. Two questions: 1) Any height restrictions for truck? 2) Why did you not build over cab?
That's absolutely beautiful and its my dream to have a tiny home that i can travel the world in. I fight depression real bad, then this past year i started perimenapause & on top of that i live n a basement full of mold with an alcoholic husband. Im working really hard to save money to build me a tiny home to start out in to be able to move on with my life. Thank you so much for this video. I'm a new subscriber now. So glad i found y'all's channel..
loved watching your videos they are so inspiring and creative This Channel deserves a million subscribers and likes for the hard work President Chay has put in to Entertaining us Keep up Chay!!!
Absolutely fantastic! So very classy. Truly styling 🎉 Everything you would need & so very handsome (camper is not bad either). Thanks for sharing the build & details. Oh how I wish I was younger. At 70, & being a lady with very limited building skills looks like that it would have to be another lifetime. Great job! Happy trails. 🍁🍂🐾
this has to be one of my favorite channels!! I'm all about hard work!! and although I have CP.. and I can't do this sort of stuff.. (although I would love to) .. my job mostly consists of programming and design.. anyway I love the fact that these dudes are so driven... kudos God bless you ☦️
Suggestion: extend the house to the roof of the truck and made there your beds to get more space. Use the same wood pillars to estabilize it. So when you move the truck, you'll have more free space bellow the beds.
@@lucastostes9460 well, supposed that would just be an empty box just large enough for an extra leg room, perhaps putting a piece of rubber pad between the bottom of the extension and the cockpit roof could spread the load and avoid scratches? i have no experience in car modding though 🤷
I know my comment is one year too late, but I learned this the hard way. I seal any exterior wood before putting it in place. Lay it all out on the ground and spray what will be the back of the boards. Install them and paint the exterior. No warping and minimal splitting. Cute build, though!
So, will the weight of it be okay for the truck and how will it secure to the bed to keep it in place during travel and in super windy weather? Looks pretty good so far.
You can do this build and cut the height by 3 feet and put the second bed over the hallway. As it is, the max speed is 60 mph in low wind and you might get stopped by Police
If you still have it, you might consider adding LED marker lights on the jack support beams. They stick out far enough that somebody could possibly hit them a little if they aren't paying very good attention.
With the amount of work they put in it, it's worth at least that much. With material costs taken out, that's less than $2000 per person (two, sometimes three of them working), for probably more hours than a standard 9-5, over quite a timespan. They are skilled builders so their hour of work is worth a relatively high wage too - they could earn well being employed so it doesn’t make sense to go cheap and then have to deal with customers on top of that. So I'd say even knowing the material costs, it's not just something that's worth $5000+, it _is_ worth $5000+
Chay, always banger after banger. Thoroughly enjoyed. Would love to see a Kansas trip video. Maybe through in some stats with MPG of the truck with/without the camper, and can weigh it at a truck stop scale for like $12. Keep on keepin on 🤙🏼
let me know if you guys would be interested in a video where we drive this thing 1,000+ miles to Kansas!
yes😃

I agree. These beds are too narrow for comfort. No reason for the upper bunk to be so narrow.
Yes, totally agree. Too narrow and a slat bed always comes in handy.

Wow, you guys did all that for less than 900 bucks is insane! What a great video and would love to see you guys camp in it in your future content! ❤🙌💪
Great job! I’d want a rail for that upper bunk, but all in all the camper looks like a hit! And for the price… wow!
That’s what I was thinking too. I’ve woken up having done a 180 before, definitely would need a rail!

Completely agree, re the too narrow beds ~ can imagine them rolling over in their sleep & tumbling onto the floor. 😮
…Or put a bed over the truck’s cab, then you would have had more living space and not have to sleep alone possibly.

Oh definitely but that would be a more involved build than simply widening the sides.
the beds could definitely be foldable without losing any space during the day. Absolutely agree for the tv, such a waste of space

Thanks for this video! I'm currently building a tiny home and just couldn't get around some huge expenses that weren't gonna fit in my budget, but this offered a ton of wonderful ideas to save money.
This is not just a low cost camper, It's a good looking one as well. Now we need to see how well it works.

I’m surprised that you are in a mini camper on the back of a truck. For less than $900, it turned out great! 10/10!
even before you painted it the pallet siding looked really good.
Simply amazing! My favorites: the vaulted ceiling and front porch.
Two questions:
1) Any height restrictions for truck?
2) Why did you not build over cab?
Yes, build over cab in a angular way so that it is aerodynamic. In the end you will get far better gas mileage.
Excited! What keeps the house secure if patio fence is on tailgate? Or is it removable when driving? Considering Dutch door maybe.

Can you believe they made all this for less than what most iPhones cost these days?
But an iphone is way more powerfull then that camper 😂😂😂
well they don't have to pay for labor since well... they did it themselves
@dolphinhispanic no gouging monthly fees either
Don’t act like the top of the line Samsung doesn’t cost 1k plus and still gets destroyed by an iPhone 12
@notvcs not even an iPhone 14 or 15 can compare to any Samsung fold series or an S23! 😂😂😂 do some research man???
Who is watching this for fun 😂
Stockton ca, drinking coffee before the wife and kids wake up 😂, very fun and exciting love it

That's absolutely beautiful and its my dream to have a tiny home that i can travel the world in. I fight depression real bad, then this past year i started perimenapause & on top of that i live n a basement full of mold with an alcoholic husband. Im working really hard to save money to build me a tiny home to start out in to be able to move on with my life. Thank you so much for this video. I'm a new subscriber now. So glad i found y'all's channel..
loved watching your videos they are so inspiring and creative
This Channel deserves a million subscribers and likes for the hard work President Chay has put in to Entertaining us Keep up Chay!!!
1,000 for materials. 15-20k in labor.
Can we mention how hard he works just to entertain us?
And how he thieves?
how does he thieve? @@RespondsToOnlyLosers
Yeah just to entertain us right
@@RespondsToOnlyLosersbro what
Great entertainment and no wonder you have 677k subs!
You guys should get the truck weighed and then go back and weigh it with the camper. I’m kind of interested to see how much it actually weighs
Definitely a difference between towload and payload, weight distribution is sketchy too.
Great build. If you don’t want your water to taste like a garden hose. Get the white RV hose a huge difference.
Absolutely fantastic! So very classy. Truly styling 🎉 Everything you would need & so very handsome (camper is not bad either). Thanks for sharing the build & details. Oh how I wish I was younger. At 70, & being a lady with very limited building skills looks like that it would have to be another lifetime. Great job! Happy trails. 🍁🍂🐾
Where’s th toilet💀💀
I was hoping when he opened the kitchen cabinet a portable came out
Bruh they use public bathrooms bcz it would take up extra room
At the camp place
@@23nilsDxbit’s called a camp site
That’s literally saying where is the toilet and the tent☠️
this has to be one of my favorite channels!! I'm all about hard work!!
and although I have CP.. and I can't do this sort of stuff.. (although I would love to) .. my job mostly consists of programming and design.. anyway I love the fact that these dudes are so driven... kudos
God bless you ☦️
Suggestion: extend the house to the roof of the truck and made there your beds to get more space. Use the same wood pillars to estabilize it. So when you move the truck, you'll have more free space bellow the beds.
And the front of the extension could be made into a shape that is more aerodynamic.
Exactly, I was a little surprised they didnt do that too. Basically making it looking like a fancy camper.
@@Eric-dh5pf Good idea
whats going to support that though? the painted truck roof? just dont worry about the scratching and denting the roof i guess lol
@@lucastostes9460 well, supposed that would just be an empty box just large enough for an extra leg room, perhaps putting a piece of rubber pad between the bottom of the extension and the cockpit roof could spread the load and avoid scratches?
i have no experience in car modding though 🤷
To be honest, I wouldnt call it "luxury", but its truly amazing, and certainly could be.
I know my comment is one year too late, but I learned this the hard way. I seal any exterior wood before putting it in place. Lay it all out on the ground and spray what will be the back of the boards. Install them and paint the exterior. No warping and minimal splitting. Cute build, though!
Chay can literally make anything! So underrated it’s insane 👍
team work is the drame
UA-camr: this camper is less than $1000!
also the guy's workshop/garage:
Maybe the could have built it at your mom's section 8 house. Her boyfriend could help while he's out on parole.
You guys did a fantastic job. Nothing is impossible when you set your mind to it. You’ve got to have faith. Great video guys. Thanks.
Your channel growth recently has been insane. Keep up the grind Chay!
You guys are amazing. I love how you work together and such a good vibe. Wish I had siblings like you guys.
My dad would love you guys the way you guys recycled wood off the pallets! Very resourceful keep up the good videos❤
the work this man does is amazing just appreciate what he is doing that shows what makes him happy
So, will the weight of it be okay for the truck and how will it secure to the bed to keep it in place during travel and in super windy weather? Looks pretty good so far.
You can do this build and cut the height by 3 feet and put the second bed over the hallway. As it is, the max speed is 60 mph in low wind and you might get stopped by Police
If you still have it, you might consider adding LED marker lights on the jack support beams. They stick out far enough that somebody could possibly hit them a little if they aren't paying very good attention.
It looks like something people would pay at least 5k for, it looks so professional, you guys are such good builders
With the amount of work they put in it, it's worth at least that much. With material costs taken out, that's less than $2000 per person (two, sometimes three of them working), for probably more hours than a standard 9-5, over quite a timespan. They are skilled builders so their hour of work is worth a relatively high wage too - they could earn well being employed so it doesn’t make sense to go cheap and then have to deal with customers on top of that.
So I'd say even knowing the material costs, it's not just something that's worth $5000+, it _is_ worth $5000+
This man deserves a million subscribers for the hard work and dedication he puts in his videos
Did you bolt it in?
Strap it to the truck bed?
Wind an bumps would shake it apart
I would think if not held secure
This is one of those things that you think, “I want to do that”.
The work this guy does just makes me wanna do new stuff.
You make everything seem so easy and doable. My dad could do everything but he’d say no to electric. I love your vids. Keep them coming
Can you guys build me a tiny house? No, seriously?!
I was thinking the same thing when I watched the video
I love watching these videos. He is so creative with his builds
I cannot get enough of him and his brother!!!!!
@@SuzyQ89🏳️🌈⁉️
It’s a lot easier and nicer looking if you stain the wood before hanging it up, it’s what me and my grandpa do. Awesome video by the way!!!!
I love these building videos. It’s inspiring and makes me want to learn
You come up with the best stuff. I just can’t say anything my mind is blown 10/10 build style
Chay, always banger after banger. Thoroughly enjoyed. Would love to see a Kansas trip video. Maybe through in some stats with MPG of the truck with/without the camper, and can weigh it at a truck stop scale for like $12. Keep on keepin on 🤙🏼
