Introducing the Star-gazer Micro Camper

This is a great project for beginner builders. If you’ve ever wanted to build your own “something“, this is a great place to start! I will take you from beginning to end and when you’re done you’ll have a backyard camper, or mobile greenhouse, or forest office of your VERY OWN built by your OWN HANDS! This cost me around $1K to build as you see it. You can save nearly $250 if you build this in place and don’t add the wheels and axle. Build on blocks instead. It’s up to you!
