DIY Overland Camper Shell for $250 - Poor Man Fiberglass foamie truck camper cover shell

This is how I build a truck camper shell using a process called poor mans fiberglass for my Jeep Gladiator. In total I spent around $250 to build the whole cover and the whole cover weighs only 25lb! This process uses glue, canvas and paint to achieve a similar effect that true fiberglass would. But unlike true fiberglass, this process is cheap! The cover was designed to fit under a @JcrOffroad adventure rack carrying a roof top tent. I am a maker and DIY is a core principle of my life. That being said please don't take anything I do as certain truth, the best way to complete a task or even necessarily safe. A huge shout-out to this video that contained most of the critical tips I learned! https://youtu.be/S3JIyhbdi-Q 0:00 - Intro 0:30 - Build starts 5:29 - Using ceiling spackle as body filler 8:07 - First fitup 9:47 - Beginning the glueup 11:23 - Ironing on the canvas 14:34 - Painting the canvas 21:15 - Examining a sample showing bad material interraction 24:37 - Final fitup 25:36 - Attaching the rear door 28:40 - How we mount the tent 29:37 - Moving the tent from the trailer to the truck 30:55 - Cost breakdown 32:41 - Outro
