VHB is a long-standing adhesive in all manner of transportation applications...including some in aviation! There's absolutely no worries about Joe's panels coming loose. VHB is an incredible no-weld, no-fastener solution for joining materials; particularly non-porous materials such as the application here of aluminum panels to a steel space frame.

Not bad for your 1st trailer build. Some tips from someone who was in the RV business for 20+ years. 1. If you are going to run water lines, gas lines, installing grey, sewage, and fresh water tanks, you will want to run those underneath your floor and then have them insulated, heated and self-contained (covered). A polyurethane bottom to enclose your plumbing will protect it from the elements, plus give you additional storage space. By placing your tanks above the floor removes a great deal of your living space. 2. Make sure you have room for your power converter, hot water heater, furnace inside the trailer. You can build those into your living areas. I would also consider framing for an air conditioner instead of a fan for the roof. You will be much more comfortable. 3. Make sure that you use windows that will allow you to have an additional escape in case of fire. If your door is blocked, you will still be able to get out. Good luck with your build, it looks great.

We used VHB to repair a friends camper roof. Tree had punched a hole in it. Cleaned down to bare aluminum, made a nice looking patch, used the tape then some camper seal caulk(stuff is way different than normal caulk) and it has lasted 5 years of MN weather so far. Hard to see the patch because his roof has that rubberized roof coating stuff on it and it got a whole new coat to keep other seams from leaking...

If you add rivets later, don't forget to put plastic top hat washers under them so you don't electrically connect the steel to the aluminium, or else you'll get galvanic corrosion. That's an advantage to that tape that you didn't mention.

As long as the surface prep was done correctly (which he did) the VHB tape should actually provide a stronger bond than rivets. It has the benefit of being more flexible than rivets and providing some protection against water intrusion along the seam.

haha... you are right Becky! this is an 'out of Joe's head design. I have several sketches but only general dimensions on those... like width length. But most everything else is just as I go. For example the height was figured to give me a few inches of head room and I just cut all of the uprights to fit that length. then on the back angled section... I held a piece of metal in place until I thought it looked good.. then clamped it in place and measured it... then cut all the angled pieces, etc,.... and so on for the whole thing :)

Hello... First, I'd like to congratulate you on the great work you've done, and would you like to know which white material you used to cover the entire exterior of the trailer?

Omg! Amazing! I'm not sure though if by the time your done that it would have been cheaper doing it this way? Also why so small? I mean to go through all that work and build your own RV ... I would have thought it just would have been bigger. It's ok for a one person fishing, hunting weekend getaway but to camp with more than one for a week or more??? Idk? But it's amazing to see how much work and effort you are putting into it. So nice 😄 I cannot wait to see the finish. Take care and have a great summer 🌞

When I was growing up we stuffed 7 people in one not much bigger than that! You only sleep in it, rst of te time we were on the lake or playing out in the big grass field of the campground.

Mary Brown No, no, no....lol!! That's not the point I was getting too 😉 All I was saying is that since he has so much talent and some supplies were donated, why not make it longer is all? I understand since I live almost fulltime in an RV how an RV is used but to make something so small wouldn't it cost less or the same to have just bought a small travel trailer plus they already come on a trailer bed with hitch and light assembly. That's all! 😁

thanks! Regarding the cost of the build, no , I don't think building one is going to be cheaper than buying a used one. But I like building things and the satisfaction in the process and the end result will be worth it... i hope...lol as for the size, sure, it's not huge but I have to build something that I can pull and want to pull. We currently camp in a 12x12 tent and it's plenty big enough for the 3 of us. this is 7x13 and I think it will be plenty for camping and road trips. besides most of out time is spent outside on those trips anyways :) thanks for checking it out :D joe

homesteadonomics Thank you for answering back 😊I was just wondering is all. I think you've done an amazing job so far. It's something your going to feel amazing about when your camping in it and know that you've made everything 😄I just thought because I have a 22' class c that has about a 7 1/2 ×15 living area that I know when the weather is crap....the walls can close in mighty quick. Lol!! So if I had the opportunity to have a little more interior space...that would be awesome. But you know what's best for you and yours 😉 Good luck and I cannot wait to see it finished 😊 Michelle from Michigan

Great videos. I have been digging and doing research on building my own trailer and this is the first time I have heard of the tape you used. I do not have welding skills, so I will be building my frame entirely out of 2x2s and using either Filon or aluminum sheets for my shell. Do you think the tape will bond as well to wood as it does with metal? Thanks for your input!

Great videos with tons of good information. I've started a build like this myself and I would like to know the sheet thickness of the aluminum skin. Thanks

Hi, Best to Lay a Triangle Steel plate on top . Just behind the ball hitch and " Cover / Weld " Where All the Front Tubes comeTogether ( This Is A High Stress Area !!! ) . This Triangle Plate if Extended Back , Drill a hole and mount your Jack on it ( Bolted ,, Not Welded ) Then If you have to " Replace The Jack " , You Are Not Cutting OR Weaken the Frame .Looking Great .

I do like the idea of being able to replace the jack so I'm definitely leaning towards adding a piece of steel and bolting.... you and a couple others mentioned that and makes total sense :D
