Well folks...this is the BIG ONE! In this episode, I build out my door, which as a first time builder with zero experience, was my proudest achievement during this build. Then, we move on to finish the roof with a nice colored paint; and, finally, we LOAD the camper onto the Tacoma truck bed!
As mentioned in the video, THIS IS NOT MY LAST VIDEO of the series. From here, I will post videos detailing the interior build; how I sealed the exterior for moisture; film a full tour of the finished product; a Q&A of what I would do differently; and continue to keep you all updated as I take the Wagon Cabin out into the real world to overland, so I can then relay back how she's holding up over time.
In sum: I got the idea of building this camper back in April of 2020 from YouTube user @ENDGAME. Seeing his camper was all it took to plant the seeds for what became my COVID quarantine project. On July 27th, I showed up to my friend's wood shop with ZERO experience, and left 51 days later with over 200+ hours experience, and my finished homemade camper to show for it.
This series has been nothing more than to show my journey and hopefully encourage others to take on a project of their own, no matter where their resources or skillsets lie. If you want it bad enough, you WILL make it work!
