I recently watched some guy’s video series who lived in a pop-up camper with his wife. They were in their 50’s, based down around South Carolina. Anyway sometime earlier this year they were in a state park campground and someone torched the popup, burned it to the ground, just the steel frame left. The couple was at the ranger station investigating being campground hosts...
Anyway within a week he had built a plywood and 2x2 framed truck camper on his pickup, just with minimal power tools and his own carpentry skills. I think he said he had about $500 in it (no bath, no kitchen). Theres lots of plans and videos about it on YouTube, I spent that motel evening watching several. Most people tend to overbuild weight-wise.
Shows that it can be done by regular folk’.
