I have run my camper through one year. It is working great. I have it outside plugged in this winter. The coldest we have seen it is 15 below. The camper was toasty with the small heater in the pictures on low. The propane heater will keep it warm at zero for two weeks.
We went to Texas this summer. It was over 100 and the air conditioner kept it cool. It runs on a 2000 watt generator.
All told I am very pleased with the results. I am starting to build these for others. I have one in the shop for a rancher. He is going to use it for his cow camp in the mountains.

The windows are awning. You can have them open during a rain shower and get very little water inside.

Wow James that is really nice. Too nice for me. Can you make one with a helicopter blade on top so I can get it where I need it?

So how much money do you have in it and what does it weigh?

That came out so great. Even the stairs are custom. Did you hunt from it?

It weighs 6300#. It is very comparable to other 25' campers.

yes i am going to start building to sell. I have one in the shop now for a cattle rancher. He is going to use it as a cow camp.

What will your price range be? Going to stick with the one model and same options? Any thoughts on adding a garage option for atv's and gear?

Reminds me of those tiny homes. Incredible what they fit into those things.

It will be around $32,000.00. I will know better after I finish the one I am working on. The first one I spent a lot of time figuring out. I am keeping track of every minute I work on it and every dime I spend. We will finish this one by the end of Feb. I will post some pictures of the second one when we finish.

No the benches stay. A bed there would make it impossible to get out of the bed on top without crawling over it. Stomp your boots off on the porch.

Dang that is sweet! The attention to detail is amazing. I love the copper pipe too, you said you rolled it by hand right?

I couldn't buy the size of pipe I needed so I made one out of sheet copper.
