Hi Dave, Hi Cindy. Hope you are keeping well.......Loved the last two videos....really impressed with the cabin, it is truly awesome, and great ingenuity in getting it loaded on the trailer. Cant wait to see you and Cindy on your first adventure, and seeing the cabin on the road, I am sure it will get some admiring looks for sure. Really well done Dave......Peace and blessings ☺
Thanks so much!
That was so awesome Dave.😂 Once you explained your thoughts, it was easy to see what you planned to do. Bravo. 👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it
Looking great 👍 have a good week 😊
A working mind makes the physical work easier! And of course with the right tools! Very nice!😊
You makes everything look so easy. You got alot of good idea,s up in your head my friend. Awesome work on the build . Looking forward to your trip on the road with it. Great video as always. Take her easy.
Thanks 👍
Fantastic Job, i just love your helper Cindy.
Now the next adventure to come. I cant wait to see whats next. Take care
Thanks Heather ...hope all is well with you
Well done sir. For a minute there I thought you were going to pull a prank and have a fake piece fly off the front when you were pulling on it. I have a hard time telling when you are joking or not..LOL. Well planned and executed. Well done.😎
Very, very adorable!❤👍
Great job.
😂😂😂.... Ahhhh Cindy! Why would you ever doubt him...the face of doubt!!!!!.. Lololol... Great job Dave!
Thanks Helen lol
Awesomeness ❤
Looking ready for a trip 🥳
Us too!
hi Cindy and David, Ah finally, here we are! I can't wait to see the first destination, wherever we're going? Haha! This camping house is simply magnificent. I'm very happy for the rest of you to see you experience this and that you share it with the rest of us. Thank you and have a good trip!
We are sure looking forward to some adventures in it ....thanks for watching
That's awesome. You did it 👏 Have a great weekend !🌺
Thank you! You too!
❤ looks great! Just in time for camping season!
You are a a wonder to figure this out. I sat here expecting doom and desruction. But it worked.👍
That was cool... never had any doubt lol
Lol! We'll both watch later. Funny intro. 🤣
Hey Sparky! Your camp looks great 👍! If you were to put dish soap on the floor of your trailer that camp would've slid on almost by itself. I watched guys putting a house on a foundation one time and they put dish soap on the timbers the house slid on. The had to put the bucket of the excavator up to keep the house from sliding right off the foundation.
Nice to see. Wasn't sure exactly how you were going to load. Typically, the camper is raised high enough to drive under and then lower, but I can understand how unstable that could be without the 4 corner supports. Demonstration of your ingenuity once again. (I feel better asking you to fix my tractor now that most of the camper work is behind you.)
Thanks Garry ...Ill be out to see you in a few days when your blades get here
I design mine to come off and on the trailer quite easy. This way the trailer can be used for moving things like atv’s, snow machines, wood, supplies etc. the tiny home can also drop onto other trailers easy and be dropped on blocks if I get property. I also made mine standing height and put a 2 foot 45 on the back like an earth roamer so it’s more off-road worthy and won’t bang or drag in the back when going over uneven ground.
Good job ! My Canadian brother
Should have put the winch cable under the bar and not over it.. That might have been why the winch was struggling a little bit.. But awesome video.. And a pretty assistant.. Your a lucky man..
The only reason the cable was over the bar was to keep it from hitting the wire connections on the winch when I tensioned it up.The battery i was running it off was around half charged....12.3 volts when i started pulling it on .With a full charged battery it would have slid on very easily .thanks for watching
AWESOME job! Looks fantastic!👍
Thank you! Cheers!
We used the dual hitch to add a bike rack with our teardrop - which we no longer have. Worked well.
that would work well !! Im using a drop hitch now and it sits nice and level with a 4 inch drop on the hitch .
What a unit
nice work
A piece of pump pipe would work really well also. It then could be moved by hand after it was on
Thats true ....i thought of that after it was loaded ...could have rolled it on a small diameter pipe on the trailer
thank you for showing this video great job
You are very welcome
Good job you the man
Thanks
Awesome job, it looks great. Intro was great too lol.
Great find on the trailer. Great job getting loaded 😅
Can’t argue with the result, but I would have used a couple broom handles as rollers instead of soapy water. With all that tension on the cable, I kept waiting for the eye bolt to evacuate the camper timber.
It wasn't really that much tension ...the battery ii was running the winch off of was only half charged when I started ....the rollers would have helped a lot though ....
Mornin Dave ….you know what, as far as your video quality is concerned..it may just be me …but I don’t pay much if any attention to how good or bad the quality is ..I’m paying more attention to what your up to each week..just stay the course 👍👍😀😀
Now you have enough room for a small porch on the front and can add steps
3 pcs of 2in Schedule 40 pvc under the skids and you could push it right on by leapfrogging the pipe.. used this method for moving 1000 lb hot tubs with ease.
Great idea ...if it had been harder to slide on I would have used some sort of pipe as rollers .....it went on easily as it was ....
Don't forget to bolt the camper to the trailer hihihi
Yes lol it will be secured well
You and Cindy are so darn cute together!❤
Good job Dave.
B.t.w....
When you gonna marry that gal?!
I'd like a invitation.
that space on the deck in front of the wheel wells is crying out for a box built there for storage or for housing the diesel heater . Also consider putting a little platform/steps that are in the back where a hinged set of stairs can flip up during travel and give a little more room on your "deck" when the trailer is deployed. Are you doing a little solar setup inside this thing?
Great ideas ...the cabin has an electrical system installed with a lifepo4 battery also ...
@@sparkys506adventures4 I was thinking of that lipo when I suggested a solar setup. I actually have a couple 230w panels you could maybe have but unfortunately they may be a little too big and also they are currently in ontario and may be a while before I get up to NB.
@@Edrichmond Thanks for the offer ...i actually have a nice portable 200 watt Allpowers brand that came with a power station I have and will use as a backup ....
Concerned should you have both of the lines from the wrench to cabin run under the rail of the trailer. I thought one on top as you had ran risk of the wire putting tension on the rail or rail causing the wire to thin out.
The upper cable was stationary not sliding on the steel .... I had the cable there because when I ran it straight back it was going to rub on the winch control wires ......it worked out fine lol
You do that to container
You’re just about ready for the open road. You will turn some heads as you drive by. What a riot! I’m looking forward to your first trip. Your neighbours have to be getting a kick out of this project. Fun video, see ya next time.
It definitely gets some attention just sitting in the yard lol
Just wondering 🤔, (and I don’t know the answer) it seems to me the cabin is not centered over the axel. What does that do for your tongue weight?Or, is it insignificant that short distance over center??
You don't want your load centered on a trailer you always want it more at the front of trailer ....if there isn't enough tongue weight the trailer will sway bad at speed. I was first concerned it may not be far enough to the front but I think it will be fine. But also when a trailer is designed properly the axle is 60% of the total distance back.....if the total length if 10 feet the axle should be 6 feet back .....
@@sparkys506adventures4sounds good.
I knew too far back is a problem, but wasn’t sure what too much forward would do.
Looking forward to your future adventures.
Why didn’t you just build a camper onto the trailer?
At first I planned on using the trailer for other things so I was going to load it and unload it when needed ...but decided to get a dedicated trailer to keep it on .
@@sparkys506adventures4great idea, a lot less chance for a problem and you will not have to concern yourself every time you travel!👍
Great engineering on pulling the Trailer n Truck instead of the Camper.
Looking forward to your first trip in it.
Looking great 👍 have a good week 😊
