Wondering if anyone has ever built their own micro camper or square/tear drop camper. Thinking about building one with a kayak rack on top.
Micro camper
- Thread starter Rackseeker
- Start date
I seen several pop-up camper that people made it solid.
Finally got started toward the end of June. A work in process, I guess. Hoping to be finished by first of October.
Buying pre manufactured door & windows?
And what is your estimated budget on the build?
Yea, the door is a 30"x36", the windows are 15"x30". Depending on which route I go for the exterior coating I shouldn't go over $3k. The MDO plywood purchase hurt.
Some stuff I saved money on like primer and paint, by using just out of date MILSPEC paint for the frame and axle. Take off wheels off a Toyota 4Runner . So I can use the spare on my truck if needed. It was cheaper to change the hubs to six lug than buy a spare wheel and tire. Also don't have to mount a spare on the trailer.
Heck yea, that'll be perfect when you get done. I don't trust my welding skills enough for frame work. I'd be driving down the road and hit a bump and it would explode like a piñata lol.
Man that looks great! Wish I had those skills.

It's cool to see a craftsman who takes pride in his work. Seems like that's not as common these days.
Looks awesome!
Portable pout-house, haha.

Cool project. Any updates?
Haven't got to work on it a whole lot. I had a couple honey do's to finish I had started. I did make a change, I moved the entrance door to the rear, to make it easier loading things in it and getting in and out of it. I'm going to make a step that will just plug in the receiver hitch just below the door. I have all the structural framing finished. Wiring will be next.
