Building A 4x4 Truck Camper | DIY Foam Composite Panel Cabover

Published 2022-07-10
Progress on my DIY truck camper build! I'm building the camper cabover using DIY foam composite panels, fiberglass, and epoxy resin. With the cabover and countertops in place, it's really starting to feel like a camper.

Titebond Wood Glue = amzn.to/3HVKKy6

    I’m so amazed by your creativity, planning, engineering skills, patience, and follow-through. And the forethought to consider all the small details to ensure it will work with the finished product is also very impressive. Keep it up 🤙🏼 I could not envision ever being able to do something like this 😂

    Glad to see your project coming along Matt. I'm sure the R-Factor of your walls is significant. Not to mention, downright strong! You're the only DIY composite panels I've seen and am fascinated by your results!

    Great work Matt. I imagine you’re not taking orders yet for custom builds. Enjoying following every step. I also used the Foamular 1.5” thick all around my truck camper as we winter camp -20 C. We cover the single pane windows with foam insulation plugs. Nothing fancy. Your build is the way to go in my book.

    Cool camper and great ideas. We are looking forward for the next videos
  • @duncdunc76
    Wow! Impressive work Matt! Looks like it's coming along Fibertastically. hehe.
  • I've been contemplating building a light weight pop-up trailer. Watching for how you actually pop the top! I built a panel insert and remove trailer on the lines of the old Apache trailers, with the basis being an old Coleman Pop-up camper. Using mostly 2 inch thick foam coated with poor-man's fiberglass. It works fine and is very light weight. But - takes a while to assemble and disassemble (about 45 minutes). Watching and enjoying your build. Amazing, Matt.
  • I just found your channel. I saw the T100 and had to like and subscribe immediately. All time favorite truck. Wish I never sold my 98.
  • Matt, that's just amazing! Finally got around to watching this episode. Can't wait to see it done and on the road!!
