Hi all,
My name is Nik. I have the same story as most in that I have been silently browsing your forum for months. I am finally ready to start designing and building a tiny camper. I am currently a senior at Appalachian State studying Industrial Design. For my final senior project I have decided to develop and build a tiny camper. My plan is to build on an old pop up frame. I am fairly familiar with metal and woodwork, and will have access to the shops at school, my internship, and a few tools and a garage of my own. I have 4 months to design and build my camper.
A few specs:
-6x8 floor plan
-sleeps 2 adults and a dog
-interior kitchen
-6 foot ceilings
-toilet? leaning towards composting
-4 seasons camping
-resourceful build (i am still college here, but my budget is around $2000-$2500)
-i would like it to weigh under 1500 lbs. because that is the axle max. of the pop up I tore down
Thanks in advance, I know I will find a lot of answers here.
