BUILD IT: The Star-gazer Micro Camper

This is a great project for beginner builders. If you’ve ever wanted to build your own “something“, this is a great place to start! I will take you from beginning to end and when you’re done you’ll have a backyard camper, or mobile greenhouse, or forest office of your VERY OWN built by your OWN HANDS! This cost me around $1K to build as you see it. You can save nearly $250 if you build this in place and don’t add the wheels and axle. Build on blocks instead. It’s up to you! Materials: 2) 2x4x12 (building hitch, will be laminated and cut to 2.5 x 2.5 x 10’6“)) 5) 2x4x10 (rafters and the 2 side beams that extend beyond the back) 4) 2x4x8 (for underside support and bench support) 6) 2x2x8 (inside trim for stabilizing/attaching walls) 1) 3/4 inch sheet plywood 5) 1/2 inch sheet plywood 10 small rafter ties 1) 7/8 inch ball hitch coupler 2) 3/8 inch x 4 inch bolts with nuts (or whatever is needed for your hitch)
