Part 2/7:
Constructing the Walls and Roof
Once the base is established, the construction moves to the walls. The builders carefully cut out sections for the door and windows, creating an inviting structure. For the roof, they used lightweight materials, including skinny boards that contributed only about 3 pounds to the overall weight. A flexible sheet of plywood was then shaped to fit the roof's curvature.
To accommodate the unique bends of the roof, the builders employed a strategy of notching the wood and soaking it in water, allowing for more pliable flexibility in their design. The installation of insulation and electric wiring followed, showcasing the camper’s functional attributes.
