Thank you so very much! It is definitely one of a kind because I rarely make plans and just build as I go…. So there is quite literally no set of plans that goes with this 🤪 And the closer I get to figuring a sleeping setup, the more I realize I haven’t left myself a whole lot of wiggle room…. Which only helps to guarantee that nobody will copy it and it’ll stay one of a kind🤦♂️🤣

Thank you very much! I like them too. Been using them for well over 20 years and I believe they are a great value/price tool. Some folks will try and knock on them from time to time…. But I just remind them that the screw doesn’t care what drove it, the wood doesn’t care what turned the blade that cut it, etc,. And I built more than a few things with them😉 They get the job done and I think they do a great job!

But I’ll probably be showing it again when I add to this camper and be able to show it in operation powering the 12V lights, etc

Honestly it’s something I’ve considered a LOT. I enjoy the hands on, face to face style of education/learning very much. And it’s been asked so many times. But my wife has concerns of how to vet people to make sure no ‘weirdos’ got signed up….haha Which I think would actually be an extremely rare possibility. But being that it is at my home and where my girls are also at, it is a valid concern. Now if I was a single guy with no family at home I’d be all in. But I don’t want to rule it out completely as I know other folks have done classes and workshops at their properties and have had great experiences and many of the attendees end up making lots of friends too. So I guess ‘todays’ answer is no…. But I’m glad you brought it up because it is something I think I’d enjoy doing😊👍

Thanks for this update. I noticed that you door opens out rather than in; a small insecurity opportunity to lock someone inside by closing the truck tailgate. If trapped inside can you get out through a window or can you remove door hinges from inside? Wishing you and your family a blessed week filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings together. Peace brother
@homesteadonomics
Ай бұрын
Yes, that is something that will be addressed for sure. Most especially when I get to thinking about the sleeping arrangement aspects. My initial thoughts are to have a bar that slides out from the lower section of the base that can be retracted from the inside. But I’m not 100% of that design just yet. But until then I’ve got other options. The door window can have the screen removed to reach out and work the tailgate handle, the side windows could be kicked out, or also the pop up roof can be opened to climb out from as well.

Thank you! As for the solar….I’m not sure just yet. But probably a 200w or 100w solid panel. On The travel trailer project I used two 185w sunflare flexible panels. But I think that’d be overkill on something like this as the travel trailer has the fridge to run and needs the extra. But i haven’t made a definitely decision just yet…. So the options are still open. Which sometimes isn’t a good thing for my mind🤪

Hey I thought of you immediately. My friend is suggesting, after I saw it said vegas you need $92,000/yr to live, as a single man, that I instead buy some land and plop a "tiny house" on it, and showed me a Shed, converted into a tiny house. What do you think? and of course I don't have your skills, but I guess I could watch your stuff to learn it for real this time?

Question. Will you be able to charge the power supply from your truck while driving, maybe from the seven pin bumper outlet? Good video.
@homesteadonomics
Ай бұрын
So I have thought about that as I’m eventually going to have to wire in a separate plug so I can plug the camper in as well as the trailer. And I’d route that up into the inside part of one of the truck bed sides. But I think the future solar panel on the roof is going to do well to keep it topped off. So I guess I’ll probably need to evaluate the fuses that control the trailer power and see if it might create too much of a draw when the camper is being towed or not

Yes, it’s something that I’ve been thinking about. And when I get to making the sleeping arrangement I’ll address that. Probably a bar or something slides from inside to prevent the tailgate from being closed. But in the interim I can reach through the door window and open the gate latch. Or if need be I can exit out the roof pop up or side windows.
