We're finally back to our tiny cabin on the creek for a while and we're so happy to be home! We built our 256 square foot tiny cabin about a year and a half ago, so we're going to do some maintenance and add some new features to make the cabin even more comfortable!
We also reached 2500 subscribers (thank you!), so we wanted to answer some of the recent comments on a few of our videos from the past few months. While we answered them on the channel, we think it will be better to answer them via video to see if it might be more helpful for more people!

Like we said in the video, we may not put out new videos every week while we're visiting our grandkids (but we'll definitely put out shorts!). Once we get back to the cabin we have a lot of projects to complete, so stay tuned! Let us know if there are any projects you might suggest for our cabin - we're all ears!

Keep Cool In Your Cargo Trailer Conversion

We built out our 6x10 cargo trailer conversion over 3 years ago, but didn't include an air conditioner on our first trip out west. It really wasn't necessary as we visited Colorado, Utah and several other states from February to May that year, and there was still plenty of snow on the ground. This past year we traveled from May to September in many of the same areas, so we needed a way to keep ...

      We can't stand up in the 5x8 - in our 6x10 it's about 74" at center, about 70" on the walls (and have to bend down a little to get out the door). Have to say it's nice to be able to stand up in the 6x10, especially when living in it for extended periods!

      No, we didn't use the mule service. I know you have to reserve the mules in advance (can't just decide to do it when you arrive). I also don't know about shipping packs/supplies to the Supai post office. They would have to come in on the helicopter, so you'd definitely have to check on that. Have fun - it was amazing!

      During the 2020 virus thing, we used visqueen with velcro strips to make a vapor barrier to separate areas in the nursing home where I worked. I'm not saying it would be efficient, but it could help to make an easy/inexpensive "wall" to keep it a little cooler. Here's a link to an amazon item that might paint a better picture for you:tinyurl.com/4w9ptd4y - hope it helps!

    My experience with a single hose portable AC was not good in very hot conditions. While blowing out hot air it creates a vacuum pulling in hot air from outside anywhere it can get in. However it does have its place. If it’s not extremely hot outside but hot in the trailer I place it at the door way with the door open and it makes the trailer comfortable. Doing it this way pulls the outside air right into the back of the unit while blowing cold air to the back of the trailer. I plan on changing to a window unit in the future. Happy camping and stay safe out there 🏕️

      @CupcakeandCornbread Місяць тому

      We found that it worked much better when the humidity wasn't an issue. When we used it in Colorado it worked very well, getting down to our desired temp pretty quickly. In Louisiana, it struggled. We don't camp in the south in the summer, so hopefully it will keep working for us where we need it! Thanks for stopping by!

    Just purchased this generator, last night with a full tank it ran out of fuel after 3 hours. I had it plugged into my Toyota coaster and that runs the 12v/240v fridge (Dometic) and I turned on a fan heater. How do I get better fuel consumption? Thanks in advance

    • @CupcakeandCornbread
      @CupcakeandCornbread Місяць тому

      Thanks for sharing! It all depends on what you're pulling from the generator. I don't know what the draw is from your fridge or your fan heater - you'll need to determine the power requirements there. We use ours with a 6x10 cargo trailer, primarily in the winter, to power an electric blanket. We can run it about 10-12 hours with just that. We also use it to recharge our Jackery or Bluetti - that's our primary source of power when camping. It wouldn't power our portable AC unit, so we purchased a larger invertor generator for the summer.

We have a 6x12 with a window unit and while I dont plan on camping when its over 90, the window unit can keep it at about 75 when it is 90 outside. Our trailer is only insulated in the ceiling.

      Lots of possibilities - low compression, bad carburetor, fuel line issue, bad fuel, etc. Best bet (if you're mechanically inclined) is to go through the manual or the manufacturer's website and see what you can figure out (if it's not under warranty). If it's under warranty, follow the directions provided by the store where it was purchased (to bring it in or return to the manufacturer). Hope that helps!
