Nice build. I like the front compartment with cabin storage above and the pipe mount jacks in particular. Hope you get many years of enjoyment from that trailer!
@@eviesmith6982 thank you! That’s the plan, but haven’t been about to use it much lately… guess that’s life. Looking forward to more great trips in it.
good job! No annoying music. No unnecessary intros. I like it.
Good deal. The music is just me and my guitar messing around. I notice it might be dubbed a little loud, but can’t change it now. Thanks👍
I just binged all of these videos. Great work. Keep it up.
Great to hear. Thanks. Wilco👍
Love the wood burned look awesome great job from start to finish beautiful.
Very much appreciated! Thank you. Was just discussing fall trip plans in it :)
built like a tank!
Heavy like one too. Haha. Thanks
Looks beautiful.
Thank you!!
Outstanding job!! You went all out when I saw you build the frame.
Thank you! Really appreciate you saying that. It was a fun build for sure.
@@carneraerial looks like you might be a Carpenter? Some good skills!
@@danemmerich6775 not trying to take the last word, but did want to answer… grew up in construction and a household where we had to do everything ourselves. Don’t always know how to do something, but no harm in trying, if we messed something up, usually things can be fixed and you learn something valuable along the way.
Nice work!
Thank you! It was fun
What a beautiful creation, well done to you mate
Thank you for the kind remarks!
I love it! The wood burning looks really good. Thanks keep going man
Thanks! Burning wood that way has been kinda my shop theme for years, so it seemed natural.
i love these
Thank you!!
Awesome
Thank you!
Amazing trailer you built there!
Thank you! I appreciate that! Projects never done.
Just watched your video, awesome job
Thank you!! Very much appreciated
Awesome build!
Thank you!
Awesome!...please tell me about the welder that you used
Sure thing, but I’m not sure what kind of information you’re looking for? I just used an old arc welder, an old Lincoln arc welder 225 amp for most of the build and a miller 140 for the smaller stuff. I have a few other videos on my channel

Great build! I love that you used the space above your front box for interior storage. What kind of hinges did you use for your galley door?
Thanks! The design evolved as the build went on. Those hinges… I was pretty happy when coming across that idea. They are some MORryde HD jeep tailgate hinges that I modified to work.
What did you coat the wood with? Poly, epoxy? Beautiful camper....Well done!
Thank you! Yeah, it’s all coated with epoxy resin, fiber glass in places, and then 7 coats of varnish over the resin.
Good job,great color
Thank you!
That "THEME" music tho!!!!!!! ❤👂"Desperado" shootout scene vibes
Thanks 👍 hit the mail on the head. Was playing around with a Santana type style
Wow very nice job turned out beautifully
Thank you! Was actually just looking in the locker (front storage) planning upgrades. 👍
What kind of stain did you use on the wood. Camper looks awesome! Need a camper tour video now.
It’s actually burned with a torch then coated with epoxy resin and finally varnish. Thank you!! I still have a lot of odds and ends left to finish, but that sounds like a plan, I’ll try to do a tour.
I have an attempt at walk through up now. Just fyi.

Thanks
Fantastic !!! 🙏🥇👍THE MUSIC ❤️ !
Awesome. Thanks. First person to notice the music!
@@carneraerial who is the artist ? Beautiful music !!!
@@EduardoJimenez-rk8nw it’s just me and my guitar feeling a little Santana vibe and fumbling through garageband to record some layers.
@@carneraerial WHAT ???!!!! A CARPENTER AND A MUSICIAN ??? WOW !!! GOD HAS BLESSED YOU NO DOUBT !!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍
@@EduardoJimenez-rk8nw really appreciate the kind words! Straight to the ☺️ heart. Really think we are all blessed in so many ways and can do all sorts of things if we’re just willing to try.
That is a decent sized camp trailer and something I would love to build, how did u get the dark stain in the ply , did you use a torch to burn it? I would love to build one taller and have a shower over the A frame of the drawbar.. but you have done a wonderful job and having the tent off the top makes it suitable for a larger family for sure.
.
Thank you, much appreciated. Yep, the sides I burned with a propane torch then coated with epoxy resin, fiberglass in places, then 7 coats of spar urethane over it all.
That would be neat… could build the shower drain and gray “tank” between the frame.
The trailer was built with the tent in mind from the beginning; 3 kids all about my size need to sleep up there.
Do you have a link for the entry door and windows ?
Sure. Give me a minute. I’ll reply to you and put it in description

@@carneraerial thank you
Beautiful! What was the final weight on it?
@@keithcarpenter3218 thank you! I appreciate that. I’m not in front of the exact numbers, but about 2200lbs total weight and the state trooper showed about 1700 on the wheels, if i remember right, it’s been a while. But definitely heavier than it needed to be, since i used 3/16 thick metal.
how am I supposed to learn from this!?
There are links in the description to each of the Build videos, for what I managed to record. This video is just a compilation.
just use scrap material lol
very nice build. I just finish a build myself and getting ready to start another one. What are the dimensions of the interior sleep area on yours?
Thanks! What type did you build? Squaredrop? Inside quarters on my are 67.5 inches wide by 79 inches long. That is flood space dimension inside of the walls.
@@carneraerial I built a small 4' x 6 1/2' square drop. I have videos of my build on my channel. My next build for this winter will be a 5x10 with 5' interior Height on timbren axle less suspension on 33" tall tires. Next one will have A/C and heat with running hot water.
@@jaybareadventures Nice! I’ll take a look. I would like to try my hand at a second trailer build, mainly to do the metal again, having learned from this one. But can’t justify the costs. Have fun with it!
@@carneraerial Ya, that is why I am building another one. Tons of fun. Next one will have aluminum composite panels for exterior walls
im an honest commenter it ;
looks great i like the burnt wood look , however and i statre this clearly , your description says built from scrap is this a mistake in spelling and you meant from scratch as throughout the build i did not see anything that resembled scrap material , no rust removal from any metal surfaces no planing of grey weathered timber in fact the only thing i saw was new material being cut up and used in the building of the trailer , though it did turn out good for a box on wheels . look on utube for people who have built camper trailers using scrap such as old box trailer frames and second hand building supplies they picked up from demolition sites and repurposed to make their build then call it buuild from scrap as yours is clearly not built from scrap , even if you had the material lying around in the yard from old projects it can be considered as scrap , but then you see the foundary scale still fresh on metal then its clearly new material nicely dar timber with no greying clearly new ...lol sorry but i am honest still like the plain look of a box on wheel youve cut out all the effort in making a camper practical for your standards i guess ... ohh and if you think im being harsh no , im a metal worker who builds trailers and stuff for people as a hobby / sideline and a tinkerer of all trades car , bike . boats and use to work in construction so enjoy my honesty for what its worth .. sorry thats aussie straight up we dont do bs unless we are joking with our mates but in no way is my commenting aimed to offend ... cheers
Nope, just an iPhone auto correct typo. I don’t put any effort into the descriptions. It was meant to say “scratch”, which was probably pretty obvious. But, I will say that if you’re a builder, you should know its more than a box on wheels… if you’re really able to look and see all the signs from a builders perceptive. Just my defense of this little camper i created ;) As for “building” myself, I’m not just doing it on the side. I grew up in construction, have built pretty much entire houses, commercial buildouts and pretty much you name it, I’ve worked on it to some degree… plumbing, electrical, pools, fiberglassing, rebuild motors, auto restore, Aside from the welding. I had welded some, but not much. There was a steep learning curve there with the stick. The mig was easy, like cheating.
But yeah, no worries. Sorry to lead you down the wrong path of you had been searching for “scrap” builds. I’ll go change it now. Cheers🍻
In North America they say build from scratch when you build something from materials bought in the store OR scrap. It is just saying we did not buy something that was already pre assembled or bought whole. When we say build from SCRAP than what we mean is we build it from scrap materials. Like from the junkyard or from old pallets or whatever scrap. Your comment is valid but it is the cultural difference and the use of language here that makes the difference between countries.
