🚐 Dude RV’s Drop Box Build Update | Framing Done + Winch Installed!

Good morning! So yesterday, you know, I know there's a lot of YouTube creators out there that are actually shooting and building all at the same time. I struggle with that. I really do because I'm in my head designing the project and the video. I know the video is the project because either I'm designing that. I have so many projects I got overloaded and so focusing is a challenge. I'm focusing on a video while I'm focusing on building an RV for instance because I don't have a plan. I don't work with plans. I wing it. We're just designing on the fly. So I've got it all framed out or not all framed out. I still have to put some support structures up here. I have found a really good resource for material and I'll be picking that up probably tomorrow. The panel for the roof and a couple of interior panels and I've got some panels that I remembered. I remembered I got over half the wall outside wall material. Anyway, we're framed up. Rough frame. I'm still going to come in giving a lot of consideration and when I built the bed for the RV because it was open framework. I used a bunch of gussets and it really helped square things up and it adds a whole lot of structural stability. So I think I'm going to put gussets on all four corner posts and then one up here. That way when we have the stuff on the roof it'll be super stout. I've made another. All right, so I got the little window goes here. I'm going to have tail lights. So I have the trailer has has tail lights but I'm going to put some about like that so that that's at eye level because the trailer lights are down low. I found a really good price on these. A pack of two for like 12 bucks. So I'm going to replace both. This one does not work anymore. So I'm going to put two new tail lights on the trailer. Here's how it comes. You get them in three different colors. They come in two packs of two. I didn't realize that. So now I have four more. That's okay. I'll use them for something. New tail axle there. Oh, so when we when I first started working out here on my land and did not have a tractor I needed to drag some stuff out of the woods and so I bought a little ATV winch and receiver mount. Well, I've been wanting to do this kind of project for a very long time and about a year ago we were driving around and yappy saw a little trailer so we stopped and I scored a trailer and that trailer some guy had built to haul his ATV. He had fabricated this winch mount. I'm like oh that's great. It had a hand crank. I said well I got a little I'll put that on there. So this is going to be powered through the seven way. I have another container right now. Control is in that ammo can. Another ammo can I'm going to mount here with the tray and that will hold the controller. The reason is because this is on the tilt. So when I pull that pin that box goes up. So here's here's the I have another another product. I'm taking the casters as you saw from the other. I'm thinking I'm just gonna make a big big dolly so that tilts all the way up. Oh let me show you. Just like that. So I have the winch but that's a problem I didn't anticipate right there. I might have to lose my ammo can. This was this was just a my intention is to use the tractor to pick that up and shut it down. The tractor will pick up a thousand pounds so I should be able to pick that up without any issue. But in worst case scenario I can make that work. I'm not sure there would need I need to do a I need to do some engineering on it. All right but anyway so while I'm waiting on the guy to show up I'm gonna continue doing some wiring and gusseting and getting ready to skin it. Stay tuned. I have a hot tub. This is the next day. If you ever decide to buy a hot spring spa pay attention to the sub panel. Because I didn't. I thought I knew what I was doing but I had no clue and ended up having to by the seat of my pants fabricate a whole special hot spring spa sub panel that'll fit on that post. Anyway we're talking about RV camping. We're not talking about hot tubs. I have got my framing done. Now this is all recycled lumber just so you know except for the new sheet of plywood that daddy had in his shop. Today I went to the local lumber yard and I scored in their cull material. I got a sheet of half-inch plywood. Looks like somebody was parking their car on top of it but that's okay because I'm gonna cover it with oil-based paint. We're gonna put it on the roof. I got two sheets of 4x8 beadboard. I'm excited about that and I already have two 4x8 sheets of plywood siding in the green box so I'm gonna I'm gonna be a little creative with with the beadboard. I don't think that I think part one of these sheets is gonna be outside and one of them is gonna be inside. Not sure what's gonna wear yet but we're coming along. Starting to pull pull some wires. I mentioned I'm gonna have tail lights back here. Yep so that's where we are with the progress. I went and put in gussets on all corners and man that thing is solid. I have no concerns about putting the kayak up on top of that. Although I've had a development in a good kind of way and I may not be putting a rack on top of this after all. It may just end up with solar panels because I've got a roof mount AC unit on the way. Yeah that's gonna make things different. Interesting. All right.
