Red Sky Teardrop Camper Build Ep. 5

We have Walls!!  Episode 5 shows us what we all are wanting to see, an object that resembles a CAMPER!!! It has taken several weekends to get to this point and here it is... hope this video doesn't disappoint!

You can see that we have cut all the biscuit joining cuts, drilled pilot holes for crossmembers and installed a few temporary crossmembers. This should help support the camper while other items are installed and constructed. All the hard work is starting to pay off. 

We determine that at some point a big mistake (though only a fraction of an inch) was made. We cut the floor for the camper just a touch short. We had to fix this by cutting the floor again from another sheet of Baltic Birch. 

Mike also used a new handy tool called the DrillBlock. This tool will aid in getting the pilot holes for the screws pretty close to straight and vertical. You can see this little tool in action in the video above.

Red Sky Teardrop Camper Build Ep. 4

In this episode we change out the spindles on the Timbren axles from the long spindles to short spindles. We test fitted the wheel/tire combo from this original build to insure a good fit. You can see in the video that its a tight fit, but will probably work just fine.

T1E Adventures is a name and logo that comes from a previous company that Mike and myself ran for Radio Control Rock Crawler chassis. These campers are pretty much the same concept but in a larger scale, obviously. 

This was the very first design that T1E RC had. Hopefully in future video releases you will be able to see what Mike was talking about with the TVP style concept. 

Also had a mishap with the GoPro... but you have to watch the video for that story ;)

Red Sky Teardrop Camper Build Ep. 3

 In Episode 3 we are cutting the hole for the window and then cutting the template. We used a top bearing flush router bit to do this. Things went really smooth today on this build for sure. It won't be too long before this will start to look like a camper.

Mike describes the Kreg Track Saw that he uses for cutting straight lines without the use of  a table saw. You can see in the video that Mike decided that the smaller windows will work better in this application. Red Sky Campers uses Baltic Birch plywood for its builds. 

Once the window and door are finally cut, we take another one of the side pieces and place the ones with the holes on top and will use it as template. This template will be used for another camper build as well as possibly my camper build as well. 

Red Sky Teardrop Camper Build Ep. 2

In this episode of the Red Sky Teardrop Camper build we are prepping for the cuts to be made for the doors and windows. These doors and windows will sandwich the camper wall components. We get the holes drawn and then start cutting them out. We used the Kreg track saw and a jig saw for this job.

We didn't cut out the windows due to some size difference then what was originally expected. The door was cut and once we get the window cut we can use this as a template for the other side as well as other camper builds. More on that to come.

Red Sky Teardrop Camper Build Ep. 1

Hello Everyone! This is the first episode of Red Sky's Teardrop Camper build. Today we are installing the Timbren Axle-less Axle system on one of the camper trailer frames. We had previously installed some non-HD axels on a previous camper frame build, so this one went fairly quick and without a hitch.

It was a quick install and the video above shows roughly what we did. I didn't go into details on the installation but will when I start my camper build. Please like the video and subscribe to the channel to see other videos on this build.
