If you decide to make a motor home yourself, you will need some basic knowledge, tools, a lot of patience and even more free time. And, of course, a reliable vehicle for building a camper.

This article contains some pictures of a self-built RV based on a Volkswagen car. Most of the advice can be applied when building motorhomes based on other vehicles.

It is very important to read the next point before you start!

IMPORTANT! Before starting to create a camper with your own hands, it is necessary to legalize the implementation of such a procedure. In this case, you can prevent various legal difficulties. The rules differ depending on the country, so we cannot publish uniform recommendations on this matter.

The first steps

Do-it-yourself mobile home construction consists of the following steps:

  • Outdoor work
  • Internal work
  • Water supply works
  • Gas and electricity
  • Furniture
  • Other

If the van is operated by only two people, there will be really a lot of space. If you are planning a trip of 3 or more people, you need to think over the number of seats. Remember to equip seats with appropriate seat belts.

How many sleeping places do you need? One of the options is the arrangement of a bunk bed for children. If you have enough space under the roof, you can make a "drop-down" bed.

At this stage, you should have a clear plan for the way forward. Sure, you can improvise, but it's much easier to have a well thought out plan on paper.

Outdoor work

The first thing to do when preparing your base vehicle is to thoroughly clean the inside of the car.

At this stage, you also need to think about the shape of the body as a whole. It's time to deal with body damage, rust. Local or complete painting of a car will help.

Typically, vans do not have windows, so you might want to consider installing them. They are needed to provide fresh air and sunlight inside the RV. Windows come in different shapes and sizes, the choice depends on your preferences and body characteristics.

During the construction of a mobile home, you will have to make several holes in the body of the car. These are openings for ventilation, gas outlet (in case of leakage), heater exhaust gases, water fillers, etc. Some of them can be done later, but it is much easier to resolve the issue now if you know exactly where they will be.

Remember to apply a primer wherever bare metal appears to prevent corrosion.

Build your own motorhome the right way!

Internal work

The van will most likely have a bulkhead behind the front seats. Some partitions are fixed with screws, others are welded to the body. The "Bulgarian" will help to solve the problem.

Remember to use protective equipment. Sparks can leave nasty stains on glass that cannot be removed.

The fun begins. The insulating layer is very important as it will protect your camper from outside noise and temperature. There are many materials that can be used. The choice is entirely up to you.

In this case, we used Armaflex material... It should be cut into pieces and glued. The main point is moisture protection. If the insulating material does not protect against moisture ingress, do not use it.

It is necessary to prepare insulation material, lightweight and waterproof plywood, and soft and flexible carpet.

Thicker plywood should be used for the side covers, since furniture will be installed on them in the future.

Use a wide temperature range adhesive or sealant to attach the insulation and carpet to the sidewalls. Because the camper van will be exposed to both freezing temperatures and the hot summer sun. Heating operation will also affect. In the case of using low-quality glue, the work will have to be redone again after a while.

Where to begin? Start covering the RV from the roof to the flooring. First, we mount the insulation and cladding layers on the ceiling, then move on to the side panels.

Use wooden planks on the floor to provide enough insulation space. The battens are fixed to the floor with a suitable sealant. Then a layer of insulation is laid, after which it must be covered with plywood. Plywood is fixed with sealant or screws.

Remember the water supply and the need for electrical cables and gas pipes. Wires and hoses can be routed through insulation or under plywood covers if you already know where all the fixtures will be installed.

Water supply works

A mobile home must have a cold running water supply. For this, two canisters of water are installed under the sink. A submersible pump supplies water to the tap.

If you need warm water, an extra sink or shower, the system will be more complex. Large water tanks can be installed elsewhere, for example, under the van. Hoses will be needed to connect the entire system.

When you make a motorhome yourself, you are only limited by your imagination.

Don't forget about waste water. You can install a suitable tank under the car, or run a hose through the floor to drain water into a portable tank or bucket.

Remember, used water smells bad in summer and freezes in winter. Therefore, you need to get rid of it as soon as possible, so a bucket may be the perfect solution.

How about a toilet? You can install one of the handy portable toilets.

Gas and electricity

IMPORTANT! Gas hoses and electrical wiring must only be installed by qualified personnel! They can pose a serious hazard if incorrectly installed. Build a motorhome yourself, but don't put other people at risk.

Propane in the camper can be used for cooking, heating, as well as connecting the refrigerator. You can do without it by using an electric stove and refrigerator, as well as an autonomous Webasto heater.

The gas cylinder must be stored in a separate place with openings in the bottom. Why should there be holes at the bottom? Because propane is heavier than air, so it will always go down.

It is even possible to make a valve to connect the gas stove outside the vehicle for future cooking outside the van.

Again, build the camper correctly for your own safety!

Electricity is necessary to start all devices designed for 12V. The system consists of a battery, charger / converter, control panel and many wires.

Do not forget about the external connector for charging the motorhome's battery from a regular power supply (110V or 220V). You can also use it at home by charging the battery during winter storage.

In order to determine how much battery capacity you need, you will have to perform simple calculations. Let's say you would use the following:

  • Halogen lamps: 2 × 20W 2 hours a day = 80 Wh
  • Refrigerator: 45W 12 hours a day = 540 Wh

The total power consumption is 620 Wh per day. Now divide 620 Wh by 12V and you get 52Ah. This is your daily power consumption. Typically, a 100Ah battery will last about two days of battery life.

Make calculations taking into account the energy consumers you are using. This will help you get the average daily electricity consumption figures.

Gas and electricity are very important issues to consider when building a camper. If you plan to operate a motorhome for traveling far from civilization, autonomy should be maximized. Take your time, think carefully and calculate everything.

Furniture

In this matter, you are also not limited. You can safely realize your dreams. There are many ways to make and install furniture.

Sometimes quite suitable furniture is found at various disassembly, we advise you to search. Quite good offers sometimes appear at online auctions, and furniture is sometimes sold at an affordable price.

You can also design everything from scratch. Some firms sell ready-to-install parts covered with veneer. All you have to do is apply varnish (if necessary) and install furniture. You can also contact a professional who will help you in this matter.

Making a camper with your own hands is not too difficult for an experienced craftsman. But the timing of such a construction can be very delayed due to the constant improvement of the design. In order not to get into such a situation, you should think over the interior in advance, abandoning obviously unnecessary elements. This is especially important when equipping small cars, for example, when creating a home on wheels from a GAZelle with your own hands.

A mobile home has undeniable advantages - comfort, coziness and mobility. Moscow is a bustling city from which you sometimes want to leave. Trailer owners do not have to find a place to sleep, and travel becomes very economical. If earlier it was not possible to use this original housing, you should first familiarize yourself with their classification.

Types of motorhomes and their classification

When choosing the type of future mobile housing, you can be guided by its division by:

  • mind - there are trailed, van or mobile homes combined with a car;
  • class - there are three comfort classes of motorhomes;
  • trailer type - there are trailer trailers, hybrid trailers and fifth-wheel trailers.

If everything is clear with the trailed view of a mobile home, then the difference between a van and a combined caravan is not immediately visible. In the first embodiment, the living space is located in the van of the car and is separated from the driver's seat.

This option is suitable when traveling together, when no one stays in the "house" during the travels. Thanks to this design, it is possible to fit more functional furniture using a blank front wall.

Motorhomes converted from GAZelles or minibuses are exactly combined.

The comfort class can be called conditional. For example, class “A” mobile homes include spacious trailers made on the chassis of large trucks. Outwardly, they resemble a bus, they can have folding structures, but inside they do not differ in functionality from a small apartment.

It should be borne in mind that the driver must have a category "C" license to drive this vehicle.

There is much less space in it, but it is still convenient to travel in them. What is important - you can drive such a car with a category B license if the weight of the car or the total weight of the car with a trailer does not exceed 3.5 tons.

Class "C" indicates the simplest motorhomes. It can be a small trailer or a minibus converted into a camper. There is no separate sleeping place - its function is performed by folding sofas or armchairs. But by equipping such a mini camper with a roof rack, a folding canopy and a set of camping furniture, you can get a comfortable stay with a minimum of costs.

These construction trailers are also called hybrid trailers to distinguish them from simple trailers. Separately, it is necessary to note the Fiveswil trailers, the shape of which is designed for use in conjunction with pickups. Thanks to this, it is possible to reduce the length of the entire caravan, because part of the trailer hangs over the body of the car.

Mistakes in the construction of mobile homes with your own hands

The prices for mobile homes are noticeably biting. Not surprisingly, the desire of the skilled heads of families to save the budget and do everything yourself. It is important to be wise and learn from other people's mistakes:

  • you should not do everything from scrap materials - you will have to live in the house for at least a week and you want to spend your vacation in comfort;
  • serious revision of the body, heating system, wiring will be required - you cannot do without the skills of an auto mechanic;
  • if you still managed to fit a shower and toilet, do not forget about the drain tank - pouring dirty water onto the asphalt or lawn is extremely unethical;
  • it is better not to forget to make a connector for connecting 220V at camping sites, well, and a converter for 12V from a car battery.

Making a trailer in-house

If difficulties do not frighten, and the desire for action is unstoppable, you can try your hand at building a house. And to remake a GAZelle or build a trailer-trailer from scratch - the choice is strictly individual!

DIY GAZelle mobile home

To work you will need a grinder, a welding machine, a hand saw for wood and a lot of patience. The step-by-step modernization of the car looks like this:

  1. The seats are removed from the passenger compartment, the old trim is removed. All metal parts are treated with a special solution to prevent rust. The walls and ceiling are insulated with polyethylene foam, plywood sheets are laid on the floor. All wiring runs under the floor and wall cladding, this should be thought out in advance.
  2. A frame for furniture is welded directly into the body. If it is impossible to set the car straight, you can use a pipe resting its ends against the lower edge of the window openings as a level. After rough welding, the frame is removed and everything is welded, cleaned and again brought inside.
  3. Window openings are pasted over with Carpet. Carpet-pasted ceiling panels are also installed. After finishing the interior trim, you can fix the slats under the mezzanine and mount the furniture frames.
  4. For the front seats, you can make a swivel mechanism. To do this, you need a front hub, for example, from a VAZ and part of a pivot stand. The circuit is pretty simple.
  5. The final stage is the installation of the furniture on the frame, connecting the lighting, installing the pump for the kitchen sink, lining the mezzanine and making minor improvements to the interior. For cooking, you can put a small gas stove on one burner.
  6. Instead of welding the furniture frame, you can use ready-made headsets, reinforcing them from the inside with corners and additional screws. You also need to fix the kitchen to everything - the floor, sofa, wall. This is to protect furniture from loosening when driving on bumpy roads.

It should not be forgotten that such a modification of the car requires registration with the REO. To do this, you need to write a statement and receive a resolution from the technical department of the traffic police and the protocol of an authorized organization.

Stylish plywood trailer house

If the car has a towbar, it’s a sin not to take advantage of the situation and not make a nice “drop” trailer for spending the night outside the city. For this:

  1. The side walls of the future van are cut and attached to the base. All openings for doors and windows, as well as for lightening the frame, must be cut out in advance, so it is better to think over the drawing well.
  2. Shelves are assembled from the furniture board and installed on the base. The same shelves will serve as the front and rear walls of the van.
  3. A plywood sheet is bent on both sides in the shape of the van above the shelves, and a load-bearing frame made of timber is fixed on top. One side is lifted, giving access to the kitchen.
  4. The top hatch and skylight are cut out. The entire frame is insulated, the wiring is laid.
  5. Everything is glued on top with veneer sheets. When the door and window openings have been cut, you can proceed to the exterior painting and varnishing.
  6. Doors, top hatch and supply and exhaust ventilation are installed. After securing all the fittings, side lights and wheel fenders, you can safely go on a journey!

1. Mobile real estate for your garden.

For real estate for recreation on a suburban summer cottage, sometimes completely unexpected requirements are put forward. For example, more and more often the owners of such houses are looking for ways to make their suburban real estate mobile and put on wheels. ("Do-it-yourself mobile wooden ski house"). (Fig. 1)

This is especially useful for at least two reasons. First, taking houses with them from their vacation, their owners decide the issue of the need to protect it for most of the year. Second, having a mobile home does not even have to acquire a land plot as property, but you can afford to rent a new picturesque corner every time. (Fig. 2)

The first selection of photographs shows a small house made of wood. It is quite possible to build such a house on wheels with your own hands, even in a short period of time. The function of the foundation is performed by a metal base on wheels. A platform with a house attached to the car moves along the roads in any direction. It is thanks to the metal platform that the erected house perfectly tolerates vibrations during movement, and maintains the integrity of the structure and casing for a long time. (Fig. 4)

Particular attention is paid to the lighting of the home on wheels. A large number of windows, as well as a glazed door leaf, contribute to filling a tiny room with daylight until dark. In turn, this provides significant savings in scarce electricity. ("Examples of insulated and self-contained verandas - gazebos", "A country house protected by metal and wood"). (Fig. 6)

The opportunity presented itself to study the method and construction of a mobile home on the example of an embodied project of a dwelling with a total area of ​​about fifteen square meters.

The country house shown in the photo, in fact, made it possible to solve the problem with housing for a young couple who settled in it not only for the summer period, but thanks to the temperate climate decided to live in this house permanently. (Fig. 8)

* The initial stages of building a mobile home. Sketch and platform creation.

At the stage of making a decision to build a mobile home, people, as a rule, already imagine its external and internal design, as well as the approximate dimensions and material of manufacture. Nevertheless, we will devote a few lines of information to this initial stage of the project. ("Several examples of building country houses", "Build a house yourself. We start with the foundation").

As mentioned above, in the construction of a mobile home, however, as in the construction of any other house, a particularly important point is the foundation - the foundation. In this case, a movable platform acts as the foundation, and its base is performed by a metal welded frame.

The dimensions and shape of the metal platform with wheels are purely individual and depend solely on the wishes of the owner. ... (Fig. 10, 11, 12)

You can make such a platform either completely independently or re-plan a purchased caravan or an old car.

It is important to remember that all metal parts will be load-bearing in the structure, therefore, it is necessary to correctly calculate the weight and load of the house installed on them in the future with all the necessary furniture, things and people. All elements of the platform must be carefully sorted out, cleaned and treated with anti-corrosion agents.

* Erection of a wooden frame for the future house. Tools and materials.

This house is built from wood. For its construction, the following list of tools and materials will be required:

1. From materials - board and wooden beams of the required size, sheets of plywood or OSB, insulation (you can use polystyrene, but it is more convenient and better from the point of view of sound insulation to use mineral wool as filling voids in the walls).

2. Prepare a set of carpentry devices, a screwdriver, a drill, jigsaws, grinders from the tools in advance. In the manufacture of such a complex structure, almost the entire basic set of tools used in working with wood can be useful with all the necessary consumables (self-tapping screws, bolts, washers, nails) ("Joiner's tool", "Tool for laying laminate, carpet, parquet", "Drill and a screwdriver "," Power tools. Perforator, jackhammer "," Grinding power tools "," Jigsaws, reciprocating saws, planers, milling machines ").

The process of building a wooden caravan is very similar to the procedure for building a conventional frame house. The construction of a house begins with the assembly of the frame. And the frame is attached to the lower harness, which in this case is fixed not to the foundation, but to a movable metal platform. ("Construction of country dachas, using frame technology", "Low-rise housing construction and design principles", "Building a house using frame-frame technology."). (Fig. 13, 14)

At the stage of fixing the lower trim to the platform, the bottom of the structure is sewn up with OSB plates and waterproofed with a special film. At the same time, it is necessary to lay the electrical wiring to equip the mobile home with warning lamps and headlights. (Fig. 15)

Now you can safely mount the racks in the same way as described in the above article on the construction of a frame house.

Further, the installed frame racks are sheathed with plates of the selected material (plywood, OSB and chipboard). As in the case of the construction of a conventional frame house, the frame cladding, in addition to its main function, additionally serves as an element that holds the entire frame of the house together. ("Methods for sheathing and insulation of the walls of a frame house."). (Fig. 16, 17, 18)

Sometimes an ordinary board is also used as a rough cladding, which is left with an external decorative layer. This option, despite all its simplicity, is still not desirable due to the fact that the board, in the process of exposure to the environment, reacts more actively to moisture and dry periods, which in turn can negatively affect the integrity of the entire frame.

If, nevertheless, it was decided to use an ordinary board for cladding, then choose a material that is properly dried, and do not forget to scrupulously treat each element with antiseptic and other means that prevent the development of microorganisms and enhance the moisture-resistant characteristics of wood. ("Price antiseptic for wood", "How to cover wood with wood stain", "Wood stain", "Types of varnishes", "Painting tools, brushes, rollers"). (Fig. 19, 20)

Further, the installed frame racks are sheathed with plates of the selected material (plywood, OSB and chipboard). As in the case of the construction of a conventional frame house, the frame cladding, in addition to its main function, additionally serves as an element that holds the entire frame of the house together (Methods for cladding and insulation of the walls of a frame house). Sometimes an ordinary board is also used as a rough cladding, which is left with an external decorative layer.

Experienced travelers know that it is not always possible to sleep comfortably and cheaply. Therefore, during long journeys and having your own car, it is a sin not to buy a towbar and not to pick up a dacha trailer. In fact, this is a house on wheels - such a small number with a kitchen, a toilet ... Well, in general, with all the objects of civilization. In such a "mini-hotel" you can not only comfortably spend the night, but even cook food for several people, and dine there, and most importantly - completely free! And today we will look at how a do-it-yourself caravan trailer is made.

Undercarriage and frame

The main component of any trailer is the frame. It is on it that the entire load falls from the metal body (the frame of the "house"), and from below the bridge, beam and wheels. By the way, you will not have any special difficulties with regard to the chassis, because the design of the trailer does not fundamentally differ from the car system, with the exception of the engine units. Therefore, when making a caravan trailer with your own hands, as a running system, you can completely "rip out" part of the wheels, springs and other suspension parts from an old car. Any car model can be suitable for such a vehicle, be it Volga, Moskvich or Zhiguli.

How to make a caravan trailer with your own hands? Designing rooms

And if the algorithm for designing a trailer-dacha from the usual cargo version practically does not differ at the stages of the structure of the chassis and frame, then difficulties may arise with the body. The fact is that a homemade caravan trailer should really be comfortable and practical, so even on the drawing you need to develop a plan for the design and location of all parts. Indicate where the bedroom, kitchen will be located, and if it is a frame with a length of 5 meters or more, you can additionally install a bathroom. However, remember that each new room entails additional waste, which means that the price of a finished trailer will be significant. Moreover, in order to legally ride in such a coupling, you also need to register this vehicle with the traffic police. And this is at least a few thousand dollars on top. Therefore, do not overload your trailer with unnecessary devices.

Retrofitting option

The most practical option for a home-made trailer is a structure with a built-in frame under the awning on the side (remember the legendary Soviet Skif). When unfolded, it creates a kind of large tent. This significantly reduces the cost of work and the effort spent on it. Such a do-it-yourself cottage trailer is very functional and at the same time easy to use.

Trailer hitch and illumination

At the final stage, it is worth taking care of how the finished structure will be attached to the car's towbar. Also, a homemade caravan trailer should have a pair of brake lights and turn signals. In the center or on the side, think over the location for the license plate and guide the backlight to it, preferably LED. Such a trailer cottage on wheels will definitely be the best hotel for a traveler.

Do-it-yourself cottage trailer from a light trailer

Trailer for car

Those who like to go out of town by car with an overnight stay know that it is not convenient to sleep in the car, so you need to take a caravan trailer with you. This is a house on wheels, you can spend the night in it, cook food, perfectly protect yourself from rain and snow. There you can put a large bed and have a great time. The dacha trailer itself is very convenient.

There are many manufacturers who produce different mobile homes. But they are quite expensive, sometimes even b. at. caravan trailers also cost a lot of money. Therefore, many craftsmen make a dacha trailer with their own hands, inventing their own design. For each individual case, its own type of trailer-cottage.

The advantages of making a caravan trailer with your own hands

Unlike factory caravan trailers, homemade options have their advantages:

  • When you make a trailer-dacha with your own hands, then the soul of the one who made it is felt in it, therefore it is more comfortable in it.
  • By making a caravan trailer yourself, you can make it as convenient as possible for yourself.
  • The main plus is the low cost of production, and the functionality can be maximized.
  • The design is made taking into account the capabilities of the car.

Inexpensive caravan trailer option

The simplest and most inexpensive is the tent trailer. When folded, it looks like a simple light trailer, and when folded out, a tent roof appears above the trailer and a little further from it.

To make such a camper, you need to buy a factory trailer, install fasteners for the base of the tent on it, and also make a folding porch so that you can enter the premises. The main thing here is to make sure that the tent fits to the trailer in size.

In order to equip the intra-tent space, you will need air mattresses and a folding table. This is quite enough for fishermen who went fishing with an overnight stay. 2-3 people can easily sleep in such a tent. But it will be cold in winter, so such a cottage trailer is suitable only for the warm season.

Capsule trailer

The base also contains an ordinary light trailer, but the result is a more solid dwelling. These will already be full-fledged walls with a roof. You can even live in such a trailer-dacha for some time. Several windows can be made for convenience. The tent should have all the necessary household items such as a gas stove, dishes and other accessories.

To make such a capsule, the sides of the trailer must be removed. Make guides from a metal corner and weld them to the trailer. Next, you need to make a frame and fix it.

In order for the capsule to have a rounded shape, it must be cut out of special moisture-resistant plywood. In the upper part, you can make a flooring, put doors on the hinges, windows can be made of polycarbonate or plexiglass.

All parts must be sanded, then painted and varnished. In such a capsule 2 people can easily fit.

Trailer-cottage made of wood

If you have a two-axle trailer, you can build a wooden house on its basis. For everything to go smoothly, you need a wooden beam, plywood, metal tiles, a waterproofing film. A frame is first made of a wooden bar. Next is a video where a guy makes a dacha trailer with his own hands:

Then everything needs to be done according to plan:

  • Cover the frame with a waterproofing film and sew up with plywood.
  • The roof must be made of metal tiles, you can also use corrugated board or ondulin.
  • The walls of the house must be covered with a layer of waterproofing, after which the house is finished with clapboard or plastic siding.
  • Put up the door, cut out the windows and furnish the interior to your liking.

This is already a large trailer cottage, which can easily accommodate several people and even a family. You can live in such a dacha from spring to late autumn. In winter it will still be cold in it.

Auto-dacha from the station wagon

If there is an old station wagon car, then it is not necessary to rent it for scrap, you can make a caravan trailer out of it. The main thing is that the back of this station wagon is in good condition. It is necessary to cut off the front of the unnecessary car, and make a trailer from the rear.

First you need to make measurements of the future trailer so that the length is suitable in order to fit comfortably into it. If everything is done correctly, you will end up with a multifunctional trailer in which you can spend the night.

The front part must be reinforced around the perimeter with a rigid frame made of a steel corner, and it is also necessary to sew up the front part with a sheet of iron, nakraynak, or plywood.

In front, in the lower part, you can install a towing hitch, usually it is made from a channel. The door to enter will be the trunk lid, and the side doors can be used for loading things.

So you can even make a dacha trailer yourself with your own hands, the main thing is that there is imagination and a desire to create something so unusual. A mobile home is very convenient, you can always leave the bustle of the city for nature and live in fairly comfortable conditions.

The only problem is that the registration authority may not want to register such a trailer, because it seems to them that it will not comply with the safety standards on the road. Therefore, the easiest way is to take a used caravan trailer and remake it, while keeping the documents.

Own mobile cottage-home on wheels

In Western Europe and the United States, life, travel or vacation in the company of mobile homes has long been widespread. The owners of such houses are not chasing large dimensions. The trend is precisely small mobile homes, but multifunctional so much that they are able to independently filter their own water, generate electricity and heating using solar panels on the roof and so use every centimeter of space that a two-story van with a base area of ​​14 square meters looks quite complete dwelling.

Who is the adherent of life on wheels in a mobile home?

In the west, there is no pronounced preference, however:

  • young people more often use this method not for living, but for travel and recreation, since they traditionally gravitate towards the bustling life of the city and do not need solitude;
  • families in which children are growing up are already more tolerant of such a mobile home, because it is able to solve some financial problems, especially in times of crisis, unemployment and more than high prices for housing maintenance, as well as food;
  • active retirees - they are ideal consumers of mobile home style. Knowing how to drive, they are happy to travel not only in their own country, but also in accessible foreign countries.

Caravan on wheels in Russia

The fashion to use mobile homes has recently come to Russia. The direction is developing very slowly. First of all, because of the cost, because if in the West a house on wheels is really affordable housing in relation to real estate prices, then in Russia such vans are more expensive than a good apartment. In addition, more than half of the country's population lives in a harsh winter, and insulated caravans often cost like 2 apartments.

Mobile homes are conventionally divided into classes that describe the category of roominess, interior content and comfort:

  • class A - looks like a bus and is closest to the usual housing;
  • class B - this includes a trailer fully equipped inside, the berth is located directly in the trailer itself;
  • class C - small-sized, designed for movement on the basis of an SUV or a car, while the car's cabin is transformed into a berth.

The most budgetary option available today is a trailer tent that can be disassembled at the camping site directly around the trailer.

But, if equipped trailer houses are not available for many, then a self-made cottage on wheels is more than a real option.

DIY transforming house

A folding transforming house on wheels of a passenger car will be a structure of a panel house, from which one of the walls along the side can be folded back or removed. In this case, such a house becomes like a large gazebo. Interior amenities include a table, sofas or bed, gas stove and fixed water supply.

Whichever version of the trailer house you choose, your mobile home on wheels with your own hands will become not only a source of pride for the owners for their work, but also give new opportunities to spend the weekend with the family. Indeed, in order to get into nature, it is not necessary to have your own piece of land. It is easy to travel and stay in the most attractive countryside locations.

The most compact, simple and budgetary option is a single axle trailer design. Taking into account the weight restrictions for light trailers in the Russian Federation up to 750 kg, it is necessary to choose a durable and lightweight material.

A pine tree is well suited for this purpose:

  • The frame is made of paving stones.
  • The walls are sheathed with plywood, the optimal sheet thickness is recommended at 1 centimeter.
  • Plywood sheets are also used for furniture - tables, beds and shelves.
  • The exterior will be overlapped galvanized steel sheets.

Alternatively, you can use another building material for the front cladding, the main thing is that it has sufficient strength and flexibility.

Between the outer cladding and the frame, a layer of mineral wool, mineral slab or other insulating material should be placed in order to maintain the microclimate inside, especially in hot weather, when, due to the metal cladding, the structure can heat up above 50-60 degrees Celsius inside.

Do-it-yourself trailer-dacha - installation of a mobile house

Installation of the structure is carried out using self-tapping screws, weak points, such as outer corners, are reinforced with a metal corner.

Material protection includes:

  • antiseptic strengthening impregnation for wood material;
  • sealing the seams with a silicone compound for the outer skin;
  • painting the front side.

The dimensions of the trailer can vary, the optimal one can be called 2.3-2.4 x 1.5-1.6 m.

Building a mobile home

The construction of the auto supply takes place in two ways - on the trailer itself, for this, its sides must be dismantled, or at a special stand, followed by installation on the trailer.

Windows are taken into account at the design stage and can be of different configurations - from sliding to folding.

Ventilation is provided by installing a mosquito net. Additionally, you can consider installing a hatch in the ceiling.

A more basic solution would be a mobile home trailer with a two-axle trailer base. The principle and method of manufacturing such a structure is similar to the construction for a trailer on one axle. Of course, more material will be required, so costs will increase proportionally.

Do-it-yourself mini camper trailer-dacha. Detailed plan

Designed for tourists and travelers alike, this project is an extreme weather protection structure, a small affordable self-contained home for the homeless or disaster-affected. The camper can be easily built from structural insulating panels (structural insulating panels) and from commonly available materials. Low cost and super insulated for year round use in extreme weather conditions. It is a mobile home that can be parked anywhere and be a disaster relief home. This small mobile home is also designed for people who play outdoors or are looking for adventure in extreme conditions. Due to its light weight, super insulation, this camper trailer is ideal for people who have kayaks, mountain bikes and other equipment they want to take with them.


This camper is designed for extreme weather conditions and is so well insulated that it can only be heated with body heat or a small heater designed for indoor use. With a white roof and vents, it will stay cool in summer when parked under the trees.





Best of all, the camper is built on the basis of a 120x240 cm trailer, and the material costs for a camper do not exceed $ 1000, depending on the materials used.

Full step-by-step plans are available below.

These blueprints require basic building skills and you take full responsibility for any use of these plans.


1: What makes this camper so special?


Storage cabinets above the foot of the bed with space for a small LED TV or tablet, iPad with speakers or radio and DVD / CD player, or this space underneath can be used for drawers. All devices will be powered by a solar panel located on the front of the van.


The camper has a bed of 100 cm by 205 cm, which is sufficient for two people and very comfortable for one person. Above the headboard, there are open storage shelves and two LED positioning lights for reading. Integrated fold-out table built into the wall by the bed for eating or studying.

The mobile home has a door for easy access and a porthole window, so you can see who is behind the door, but small enough that a person (or bear) cannot break and open the door. There is a window on the opposite side for light and ventilation and a sloping deflector on the roof.

Typically, the walls of a small van are 5 cm thick with insulation and are not designed for extreme weather all year long. In this camper, the walls and roof are 10 cm thick, with thermal insulation (more than in most houses) and this will allow a person to stay warm in cold winters and cool in hot summers. In most cases, only body heat will provide comfort in the camper, but it can also be heated with a small propane heater. White roof to reflect heat, roof ventilation and side window vents for passive cooling. There is room in the outer walls to install a small air conditioner if desired, but if you are parking the camper in the shade of trees, there is no need for an air conditioner.


The camper has a cooking kitchen in the back that includes a sink, chopping board, water canister, propane / butane single burner and space cooler. There is plenty of storage space for canned and dry food, pots and dishes.

You've probably seen other small campers and mobile homes, but you've never seen anything like it because it is made from SIP and has super insulation and strength while keeping towing weight to a minimum.

This caravan is designed to be towed by small cars or trucks, the base of the trailer is 120 × 240 cm, so it can be parked even in a standard parking space. It has a super sturdy 10 cm thick roof with rack and mountings for kayaks, mountain bikes, skis. The roof rack design is included in the blueprints or you could use commercial racks.

The camper trailer is rated for a 100 watt (or less) solar electric panel that attaches to the front of the camper, tilts for better sunlight access, and can be removed and stored in the camper when you travel. The panel has 100 watts and one or two deep cycle batteries and an inverter will provide the power you need for your gadgets such as laptop, mobile phone, window fan, LED lights and even your refrigerator and kitchen utensils.

The camper has a pad on the bow of the trailer, which is used to store a propane tank, batteries and a portable toilet or other items that may be needed for long-term camping or permanent residence.

The camper is specifically designed for extreme weather conditions and is designed for long-term year-round housing for people who can live in the camper for months or years.

The best thing about campere is the ease of crafting from publicly available materials with basic tools and people with basic building skills, so you can make one for yourself or they can be quickly crafted for homeless housing or disaster relief.

Now let's build one! Below are detailed plans and drawings from which you can easily create yourself such a camper.

The drawings include over 60 step-by-step diagrams and are easy to follow. By donating to the development of the site, you can see the full version.

The camper was originally designed to be easy to assemble, inexpensive, and protected from the extreme weather of the holidaymaker. This camper is light enough to be towed by a regular car or pickup and travels in tight spaces.

DIY trailer trailer idea

The craving for travel sits in almost all of us. Some implement it by buying a full-fledged mobile home, while others make trailers with their own hands. We invite you to look at the wonderful trailer, which is made from an ordinary car trailer. See how the trailer has changed.

Initially, only the frame remained from the trailer. All other parts were removed as unnecessary.

Then a wooden base was installed on the frame.

The installation of the walls has begun.

The doors were cut.

The roof is mounted.

This is what the trailer looked like before painting.

The interior of the trailer.

Communities ›Do It Yourself› Blog ›Caravan Walls Set (Materials, Technology). DIY off-road tourist trailer - part 7

Hello friends!
Summer was over, I was in a hurry to complete the frame before the rains came, therefore I did not post information and video for a long time. My caravan has already been put on the wheel, and even managed to roll to the Lipetsk region to test it in the field.

I'll get to the story about the tests, but I can only note that the tests went very well! I'm really happy! Fuel consumption for a car on the highway is 9-9.5 liters. coupled with a caravan, without a caravan 8-8.5 liters. depends on how you press the pedal. City with a caravan 13 y. without caravan 10-11 y. Well, okay, I'm not going to tell everything here, otherwise it won't be interesting later! :)))

Let's go back to the topic of the homemade mobile home. After I finished the floors, I proceeded to build the walls. In order for the walls to stand straight, I first set the back wall and put the side walls against the back wall. When everything came together on a diagonal measurement, I put up the front wall and began to cover the roof so that the walls would not come loose. Then I put a partition between the passenger compartment and the luggage compartment. And then it occurred to me to make one more extra bed, instead of huge lockers, where there will be nothing to put so much.

Off-road mobile home. The back wall is installed.

Off-road trailer: the side walls were installed and the future forms of the caravan were determined.

It took me 3 sheets of 15mm plywood for one wall. Each sheet weighs 25kg, which is 75kg in a compartment. This is, in principle, not much, but all the same, excess weight is not needed, and it is better to fill the perforated areas with Polinor sprayed insulation rather than leave 15mm. plywood. The thermal insulation coefficient of Polynor is an order of magnitude higher than that of plywood, therefore, by perforating the walls, I kill two birds with one stone. 1. I make the structure lighter, 2. The mobile home will be warmer. Well, all this is not to the detriment of the rigidity of the frame, since there are two partitions in front (outer wall + luggage compartment partition). In addition to the walls, inside, in the middle of the module there will be two additional reinforcements, I will talk about them a little later. Such a structure will not allow the walls to loosen on strong bumps and even protect the frame from a strong lateral impact, for example, against a tree. Those. having received a good side impact, without such reinforcement, the frame can lead a little in the opposite direction, which will further lead to the swing of the frame, gaps will appear and the caravan will gradually begin to simply collapse, and so that this does not happen, I have provided for different types of reinforcement. I will tell and show about this later.
After perforating the walls, which I performed with a jigsaw right on the spot, I proceeded to pasting the outer wall with 0.4mm galvanized sheet, gluing it onto the SoudaFlex 40 FC polyurethane sealant. When perforating, it is important to understand how the sheets will be laid down so that the joints of the sheets do not fall into the perforated places and a void does not form there.

Self-made mobile home: work went on to perforate the walls to facilitate construction.

But before pasting the walls with a galvanized sheet, I attached 20x40 aluminum profiles vertically inside. The aim was to give rigidity to the frame, so that the windows and the door sat in a frame from the profile, so that with further finishing and additional reinforcement of the frame, it would be possible to attach to something. Also, this method helps to fasten together the sheets themselves, the size of which is 152x152. Two of which lay down in length + superstructure above them to reach the desired height in the caravan.

Pasting a motor home with galvanized sheet 0.4mm

Separately, I will also shoot a video outside to show the places where the walls are attached to the frame, so that it is clear how and in what places I reinforced the walls in order to avoid swinging.

The caravan's locker is fitted with a 200Amh battery.

Expedition trailer. - DRIVE2

So we dangle ...

So, after another trip to Karelia, I caught fire with the construction of an expedition trailer. I got tired of turning the whole shmurdyk in the car every evening to make a sleeping place, and in the morning I put everything out again.
The brief TK looked like this:
We sleep, cook and eat in the trailer. We transport tourist belongings (tents, sleeping bags, awnings, etc.), food, chainsaws, stoves, etc. with maximum protection from moisture. Boat, motor, catch and other smelly luggage-in a separate volume.
We hide under an awning from heat and precipitation. The trailer should not limit the geometric passability. Preparation of the bed and the kitchen should take a minimum time (up to 5 minutes).
And most importantly, do it yourself using scrap materials in the garage.
I studied the very scant information on the internet, figured out our experience of autotravel.
We built it with a friend, not AnVir, of course, but for ourselves.
Surprisingly, wherever we stop with our trailer, fellow citizens have a huge number of questions, from the primitive "why?" to pleasing ears and pride "how?"
Why-already wrote.
How-here:

www.uazpatriot.ru/forum/v.....ewtopic.php?f=153&t=21174

I will add that due to systematic merciless exploitation, the trailer is in the stage of constant modernization.

DIY home on wheels. A trailer for tourism and recreation with your own hands. Do-it-yourself trailer-dacha. Motorhome ...

Do-it-yourself kitchen set made of chipboard - Do-it-yourself kitchen set - making a kitchen set (+ photo)

This type of rest and travel option is used by lovers of freedom and independence from tickets and flights. It is a good solution to have both a car and a home on a vacation trip. Thanks to the presence of a mobile home, a family can travel in comfortable conditions and stop wherever and whenever they want, without reference to time. Camping sites gained their popularity at the beginning of the 20th century.

DIY home on wheels

Through such an independent vacation, you can see those places on the way to your destination that not accessible from plane or train... In addition, camping during renovation of an apartment or construction of a house on the site can serve as temporary housing. You can also rent a camper van when there are no travel plans.

The cost of such a pleasure is rather big, some options reach the price of an ordinary apartment, but to save money, you can create a camping or motorhome yourself.

Options for large campsites are being converted from buses and oversized vans, but this is too expensive for those who do not mind spending a lot of money on such mega-comfort.

Camping options

There are three budget options for self-taught people:

To build a motorhome with your own hands, you need:

  1. Have wheels.
  2. Visually draw a plan of a camping house, drawings - this is one of the main points in creating a mini motorhome.

When drawing up a plan, you need to think through all those comfort details that are in an ordinary apartment.

Internal communications of the motorhome

As in any regular campsite house too need communications- This is electricity, water, gas, toilet and possibly a shower. Without these amenities, mobile housing will not be comfortable. In order to have light in the camp, it is advisable to purchase a battery with a battery and a device for recharging. It is worthwhile to think over the internal wiring well in advance. It is necessary to take into account the external connectors when charging and the fact that they have different capacities.

It is easier to use a conventional bucket to drain waste through a hose hidden in the floor, by placing it under the body of your RV. Kitchen water can be stored in large containers by immersing pumps in them to supply it to the tap. To drain the used water, a reservoir is also used inside or outside the room. A small shower can be set up as a mixer tap, for example, above the sink.

Unfortunately, it will not work to build a usual toilet in a mobile home, since there is no place and it is difficult to drain waste constantly. A dry closet is perfect here.

The camping lighting system will require :

  • battery;
  • charger;
  • wiring.

What is needed to heat your motorhome?.

At the ready of an autonomous heater, you can purchase a battery and a gas cylinder, because it will also come in handy in the kitchen and the operation of the refrigerator. You should not use a lot of electrical appliances and equipment for two reasons - this is an additional power consumption and a load on the wiring, since this is a small room compared to a house. The services of an electrician should be used when working with gas, since it is extremely risky to do it yourself if you are not an electrician.

Interior arrangement of the camping

Ventilation system.

It is also important to deal with ventilation so as not to clog the room with odors.

The location of the holes is important as it is best not to expose them in plain sight for reasons of beauty. It is best to place them at the bottom of the walls above the floor, you can also put a gas cylinder there.

Furniture.

Practicality and compactness when arranging furniture is a guarantee of comfort in a camping, given the small space, as well as the layout. Folding or pull-out berths, tables with attached stools and everything in that spirit will create the necessary comfort and the desire to relax in a self-made motorhome. There are special compact headsets on sale, but if there is a desire and time, it is quite possible to make furniture on your own using old boards, tabletops, and for a sofa and chairs, you can take seats from the same car or old wheels can also be converted into chairs or stools.

Carpenter at the campsite.

In such a dwelling, if it is one-story, it is recommended to make two windows so that you do not have to consume electrics during the day. It is better to make the door double-winged so that it does not sag and the wind does not blow into the room.

Minibus or caravan, let's look at the principle of transforming each one.

To start transforming a Gazelle minibus into a camping, you need to clear the body, remove the seats and upholstery, make holes for windows and a valve for gas supply:

Body preparation

To process the body you need:

  • against corrosion, a primer is applied inside, and then you need to insulate the walls, floor and ceiling with thermal insulation;
  • cover with plywood or carpet;
  • what glue and plywood need to be of good quality so that the insulation will serve you for a long time;
  • after the stage of warming, you can proceed to electricity and gas, then go to the kitchen, think over a place for the sink and oven, install water tanks, a bathroom and at the end arrange the rest of the furniture for rest, beds, chairs or stools, cabinets and shelves, depending on what is available space.

A house from a trailer is different in that there are only wheels and you need to do everything from scratch, like on a plot, first build a box - the future room.

Lodging from a trailer is done as follows:

To make a roof for a motorhome, you need :

  • assemble a frame from supporting structures - beams, if you want a triangular roof;
  • further, we sheathe it with plywood;
  • you need to cover it with a water-repellent material.

After that, a rain gutter can be made and attached to the back wall from the outside and from the inside to drain waste. You also need to veneer the outer walls. Internal wiring and thermal insulation must be covered with fiberboard and then the stage of manufacturing one or two doors.

To protect the tree from drying out, and pests, you need to cover the outside and inside of the wall with a primer, apply a layer of paint on top. For an aesthetic look, you need to close the threaded holes and also paint. All these procedures will reliably protect the house from the influence of external harmful factors. At the end of the work, since this is a trailer, you need to install the headlights and fenders.

This kind of mobile homes fall into three categories:

Travel in your homemade RV, of course nice and comfortable... However, you need to decide for yourself whether you can independently master all the work on the construction of a motorhome.
