1 Bored Clerk's Garage Built Camper

Man it's really looking good. Liking it!

 

Haha! That’s awesome.

 

Thanks!

 

Looks great! You are on the home stretch now!

You can always add some stickers (not stripes!) to help camouflage the wonky spots.

 

My wife and I have talked about the potential for large scale graphics on the outside. We’ll see...

 

We have some nice graphics on our teardrop. A mountain range on the front side, and a compass rose on the rear door.

 

First sticker

 

Nice! We were thinking of a changing landscape as it wraps around the sides of the camper. Haven’t actually designed that yet. I’m guessing it’ll be however it is when it hits the truck bed. Haha

 

Keep it classy, that’s what I always say! Now, where can I order this sticker in say...4’ x 4’?

 

Changing landscape sounds cool.

I'll keep a lookout for that one!

 

Just got a call from my powdercoaters. Parts should be ready by the end of this week! Doesn’t really matter as I don’t need them yet but it’s exciting to get stuff done.

 

Hypervent mattress pad! I found this, randomly, online and figured I’d give it a shot. This goes on the floor with the fabric side up then your mattress goes on top. Supposed to eliminate moisture buildup. I have a plan to provide venting at both ends of the mattress as well so the air can travel a bit. The short wall at the foot of the bed will have some small holes drilled in it at the bottom and the headboard (padded so it’s nice to sit up against) will be spaced 1/4” to allow air behind it as well. Should be good?

Oh, the squiggly bit in the photo is a mess of extruded plastic. Think of it like holding a glue gun in the air and squeezing the trigger.

 

Looks like when my 3D printer doesn't adhere to the print bed and I wake up and check it and there's a pile of plastic mess all over.

 

Haha, I have come in to work to find an entire chamber filled with that! The head just goes to the center of the chamber and has a play doh fun factory party. It’s insane!

 

That'll be cool. We've got a crow on the back hatch of our teardrop

 

Sweet man, movin on up!!

Light almost at the end of the tunnel.

 

Work remains crazy so I couldn’t get to the powdercoaters to pick up my parts. My dad is going to run that errand for me. Thanks dad!



Sanded down the first coat of primer. Lightly sanded with 220grit. I sanded more in some areas because there were some issues that needed to be sanded out. Exterior is ready for its second coat.

I also sanded and patched a few things inside...again. Should be ready for it’s first coat of primer tomorrow! There is going to be A LOT of painting going on tomorrow

 

2nd coat of primer on the exterior!




1st coat of primer on the interior! The no primer areas will be covered with storage solutions so I’m leaving them bare...easier to epoxy to. The floor will get primed/painted after I get the camper mounts dialed in.

 

Man, looking good
