I built our TT just the way we wanted it and for a purpose that we use it for. I had a commit posted on you tube about how I should have built it. I don't understand How somebody can criticize the person that has a enough experience to build this and not think it had been thought out. Any way it reminds me how many people will tell the welder how to weld when hes the guy with the welder.Any way heres the commit as posted Really

"good job i guess. well put together but why go through all that to make a cookie cutter bs travel trailer you can buy. disappointing it was not more unique. like more homey materials .? and built more self sustainable, rain catch ,solar, compost toilet ect. the way it was built limits it to lame ass rv parks for power and sewage. once again well built but the world need to be away with anything cookie cutter".

Personally, I think you did a Fantastic job on the camper. Not so much when it comes to music selection for a video.:D

Nice job on the trailer .....Maybe the guy who posted a negitive responce works in the RV industry and he feels threatend because because of the junk he builds and sells if for a lot more.

The only part of the video I didn't like was the music. But not everyone likes my music either 😉


Yeah - I had to hit the mute button after about 30 seconds. 🙂

Thanks all, the year I built it I was lucky with it being hot and no rain as most of the fab. was out side.I started @ sun up and worked until dark or I couldn't stand.The lawn chair was important as the sun moved I need some shade and a place to rest.I still use the same lawn chair I hope it will last as long as my projects last.

Thanks for sharing! Would I have done somethings a little differently. Yes, because I am me. You built it your way because you are you. (Deep words here). Meanwhile, as I watched the video I admired the craftsmanship,knowledge, and experience to have pulled this off. Great job! I was beginning the think that the lawn chair was going to be a part of the decor.

Bingo. Some folks will ohh and ahh....some will honestly offer constructive criticism and good ideas based on the fact that you may not have thought of everything. Others are just nuts.
Kind of like... well, this site...

This is not a common cookie cutter TT. Sure, it may look like any other camper, but from the looks of it, was built correctly and soundly. Much better than most assembly built models. Enjoy it and ignore the jealous nut jobs.
Experience without good judgment is worthless; good judgment without experience is still good judgment!

I just followed your video link. Outstanding job! Good for you and thanks for sharing. You have done a quality job, took the time to do it right and your efforts will reward you for a long time to come. Enjoy the camper. The "skill" to do what you have done is well respected amongst those of us who know what it takes and you have it.

The rude person, let it go, ban/delete it. The lack of respect does not even justify a response. I know it feels like a face slap, had it happen to me before, but "you" know what you have and it is good. Get rid of the jerk response and go have fun camping. There is more good folks out there then the few miss aligned ones.

A retirement project is to do what you have done, just a bigger camper. OK, where did you get the paneling? Elkhart area surplus?

Thanks

After considering all the hours it takes to rebuild one, my 69 Boles Aero sits in the side yard. Look inside ot once in awhile.

Sounds like this person had an alternative agenda - possibly an environmental zealot.

YouTube has a lot of people who go from video to video just posting insults to stir up trouble. I just delete, ban, and go on, or if it is something fairly controversial, I block comments.

It is pretty amazing of how much time people have on their hands just to go around trolling so many vids.

You posted it for the whole world to see and comment. It might not be his cup of tea...so what, move on....I would have commented on the music instead of the build tho:W

Just watched the video. Very nice job. Cannot believe it only cost $5k. That is reason enough to build you own.

YouTube is the realm of many mind-sucking teens and losers that delight in stirring up trouble. I've seen your rig and it is nothing short of an excellent build, both in design and execution. Hey, even Orville and Wilbur had detractors.

Another thing is what I call the "Solitaire Factor". If you ever become lost, break out a deck of cards and play some Solitaire. Someone is sure to come by and tell you how to play the next card.
