Maker’s edtion

We think the fastest way to bring our shell system to market is by empowering the Makers. Once you’ve proven your ability at building one of these campers, we’ll show you how to become a builder and/or parts cutter for others. I think this will be a great way for Makers to generate a revenue stream for a side hustle, home based business, or even setting up a shop for manufacturing. I will eventually start to charge a licensing fee for designs leveraging my patent, but right now that is getting waived while I get this whole thing off the ground. The time to get in early is now, and the best way to secure your spot is by filling out the I’m Interested form.

The engineer I hired suggested I use CNC cut plywood to prototype the first models of Truck Camper Hybrid. This didn’t sit well with me at first since the market was frowning upon using wood in campers due to the wood rotting when wet. However, my engineer assured me that engineered plywood done right would last a long time. Once I started doing my own research I started to see our niche. A fully customizable truck camper just as light as fiberglass, inexpensive, and manufacturable on a hobbyist CNC machine. The secret sauce to making this all work came down to sealing the camper. Just like a house made out of wood, if the water can be kept out then the camper could last longer than the truck it sits on. In the spirit of DIY, we tested a few DIY paint solutions but in the end we learned that the sealing is best left to the professionals. Line-X is a two part system that dries in 6 seconds when leaving the spray gun. This allows a 1/8+ inch coating, and is flexible unlike an epoxy. For a little bit more, they can color match the camper to your truck.
