How to: DIY Wedge Camper

Any more photos? Inside photos?

 

Also I have more on my Instagram @adventure_stat

 

may I ask what this brown bag on the back wall is called?
Looks like a good solution for a problem I didn’t know I have until I saw the bag

 

Haha its the Duluth back seat organizer

 

Purchasing a miter saw for the subframe was crucial for cutting clean angles and accurate lengths. Also an auto-darkening welding helmet is super nice to have as well.

 

I used an Evolution miter saw (comes with a metal cutting blade) to make my cuts. As was mentioned, it's what you use to make all the double bevel cuts line up really well.

I also used a metal corner clamp to keep the 90's at exactly 90°.

A welder is also a must.

 

Price drop to $4,000

 

Curious as to what some have used to cover their foam mattresses. I don't want to use a loose or even fitted sheet, I'd like a zipper option. Any recommendations? My specs are 76" Long, 49.5 Wide, and 3" deep. Thanks for any intel!

Anyone make their own camper on their 1st gen? I've been loosely thinking about it, sounds like a fun project

 

i order my mattress from foambymail and ordered the cover from covers and all. It’s a nice cover.

 

I think that @lightnfast built one a bit back...

 

Still selling? Would be interested in taking a look at it.

 

Yes it's available

 

The rumors are true...

 

Happen to have a build thread I can snoop through?

 

This guy built on on a first gen. I know he was chiming in on this thread but I cant remember his username.

Thanks

 

Thanks, just put my cover order in. Does your trap heat, or breath fairly well?

 

ugh I’ve never really paid attention to that. I have a condensation Mat beneath the mattress. I thinks it’s fairly cool in general.

 

After almost a year of finishing it and 27 nights this thing has gone to Joshua Tree, Olympic, Yosemite and many other places. I'm really glad I did this. It's not perfect but it's great for me and my fiancé. The one thing I will say for those who haven't finished it is put silicone in between the 8020 and the frame. After you put the cork run a line around the outer edge. The cork won't keep all the water out. Thank you all for the input and help along the way. Here are some pictures!
