- Ron Paulk style tool trailer
This is my nearly complete 2020 cargo pro stealth 7x14x7 tandem axel aluminum trailer. 7000 gvw.
I have been working on this intermittently for about 8-9 months. We have been using it for approximately a month . We do small to medium sized remodeling jobs. It has already been a production booster.
I took a lot of ideas from you tubers.
Specifically :
Taken5875. Honestly he was the start down the you tube rabbit hole.
Ron Paulk I bought his plans but modified to suit my needs. Ron’s plans and videos were a huge asset in building my trailer. His methods are undoubtedly tried and true.

Renovations and repair
Sds construction
There are others . They all helped me in planning and designing my trailer/mobile shop. I hope my video helps you.
Feel free to ask me questions. I’ll help as best I can.
I like the he hardware rack that covers the door and love the pullout trays with the routered spaces so shit don’t slide around
Hey there RWCR! This one came back around on my feed and gave it another view. It has been a while! Great video and still loving that trailer. Thanks for the tour
Nice set up one of the best I’ve seen
As a remodeling contractor it’s great to have everything I could ever need on hand and daily organized. Thanks for the compliment and watching the video
OHH MAN!! you took Ron’s Ideas and my ideas then blew them out of the park!! I’m think you’ve re inspired me to build another one. You had a ton of great ideas of your own in there. If I had to pick just one I think The sliding panels for the battery storage was one of my favorite!
Great job!!!! I mean it GREAT job
Wow !! Thank you!! Honestly your trailer specifically started it all for me. Then Ron’s. Mine is not so refined. But it’s effective. I have a couple of more ideas I think you will like. I’ll post a video in a few weeks. You , Ron and all the other guys posting ideas really make you think. Thank you !!! Seriously I would still be working out of the cargo van if I hadn’t seen your video.
Very nice setup, one of my favorite ones on youtube, the cabinet over the door amazing, am definitly going to steal some of your ideas :) great job
Thanks again Benji!!!!
I like the "Real World" Part 😋
Really nice job! Love your battery station with the slides
Love it. I'll be using some of these ideas.
Thanks . It still needs minor tweaking but it’s increased our productivity.
Nice job brother. I got more ideas from you. Thanks
Thanks for checking out my video . I have a few more things to post . I will post them later today.
Super well thought out trailer. Love pull out work surfaces and the battery storage.
Hey thank you!!!
Wow, great job. I'm so thankful you uploaded this. I have been toiling for weeks about ideas and how to make them happen. Most of what i thought of but was unsure would work right here and a few extra ideas to add to my build as well. I can't thank you enough for sharing your ideas with us. Keep up the great work.
Thank you ! It’s been a total game changer for me . There isn’t much I would change about the trailer other than I should’ve ordered a trailer with a larger capacity. I’m presently running at capacity. 7000#’s . 10000# would have been better. Good luck with your build .
Nice work! Could you give a little detail on how you made your electrical cord organizers? Looks like a 3/4" alum section to straddle the plywood, -- but how about the how you are holding it all together?
Thanks . Will try to show in short video soon
Just like my husband's truck and garage. 🤣🤣🤣Hate it when I have to look for something.😆
LOL I bet he knows where everything is
I like the "Real World" Part 😋
Very nicely done! I have always tried to come up with an idea for my side door to be used like yours, but to have a very similar hinging section like you have developed. It gives me inspiration to try out something for my 16' V-nose. That is the one area that needs attention in my trailer. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. It works perfectly and was fairly simple to do.
The whole set up is well done. Your power cord wraps that hang off the edge are very good design. You should either make a separate video out of those or market them.
That is fantastic. I like the placement of the saws and cord reels.
Thanks. A lot of thought went into it. It works perfectly for my remodeling business.
I really like your swinging cabinet
Hey thanks!! We are liking it too so far.
Phenomenal trailer build. I’ve been looking for trailers that take Rons ideas and make their own unique version of it. You definitely did that and I got some great ideas. 🙏
Hey thank you. I’m going to post an updated video with it fine tuned and a few additional updates.
Magnifique organisation ! 👍
Merci
Great video. I think you should really do a deep dive tour on your trailer. I have been a contractor for a long time and I have almost everything you showed. I would have never imagined it could all fit in a 7’x14’ trailer. Definitely the best one I’ve seen and trust me I’ve seen too many to count. I really don’t know why you don’t have way more views because you really have something there and I’m really hard to impress.
Wow thanks! It’s definitely an asset. I’m not 100% done . I will post a deep dive tour then. I’m glad you liked the trailer.
This is such a dope trailer set-up. Most people would never understand the number of hours it takes to plan something like this out. Bravo my friend! Bravo..
Also, If possible, could you do a DIY video on the lizard matt? I'm trying to think of how to incorporate a heating mat/station in my work van to keep caulking, glues etc from freezing up with our NE weather. Thanks!!
Thank you! I literally planned my build for 1 year. Then I built it over 8 months a few hours at a time. I’m nearly complete. Hopefully this week or next. I’m going to do the heated cabinet next and I will post a video of it completed. I’m also in New England and Previously I had a cargo van and I used ridgid boxes with the lizard mats . They don’t produce a ton of heat but enough to keep things from freezing.
Thank you for sharing you are a creative thinking talented Carpenter>
Thanks for the kind words. I simply adapted what works for me to someone else’s ideas. I’m not so sure I would have come up with it without first seeing what others had done first.
Very kewl I got so much ideas for my trailer on this
I have some other thoughts that you may like . I’ll be posting a completed video by the first of the year.
Your trailer set up is the best i've seen here on you tube, and it's great to see you give credit for ideas to other's for your master piece ! You said in reply to a question about the cost of the plywood used to build this ( about $ 2000 ) was that before or after covid 2020 ?
Hey Thank you!!! The birch plywood was about $65/ sheet.
I love your setup! Awesome ideas. I especially like the Stanley organizer rack with the diagonal sliding restraint. Would you share how you configured that? What hardware did you use for the sliding catches?
Thanks. The sliding catches are just 1/2” bolts with a piece of pex over them to act as a sleeve to make them slide easily. The slots are cut on a 45 degree angle. It’s fairly simple. However there was a little trial and error.
@@realworldcarpentryremodeli5868 Cool idea. How does it stay in the "up" position? Are the slots notched?
@@iamschwenke I cut the slots a 1/16” larger than the pex then made the end have a small indent that it drops on. Just enough so it holds in place. It’s kinda hard to describe. Maybe I’ll do a short video tomorrow with close up shots .
I uploaded a short video. It should help.
@@realworldcarpentryremodeli5868 Hey, thanks. Totally see it now. Again, great job!
Wow! What an innovative set-up. Your bat-cave secret side entrance had me at hello! You really have a slew of great ideas packed in here. Do you have schematics for sale? Seriously… I’ve run out of room in my current trailer and have been looking for one with these exact dimensions and great ideas for a set up -found it!! Many of your ideas would work perfectly. Thanks for sharing.
Hey thanks for the kind words. I did have some drawings but they got lost in the shuffle. Besides that they didn’t represent what actually got built. I purchased the Ron Paulk plans and modified to suit my needs. The hardware door works great although I need to make adjustments to the wheels to make it open a little easier. Other than that it works as you would want it to.
You my friend have a lot of tools in a compact trailer. I really like the trays you made. I have a cutting board like that in my small galley kitchen and i love it. I am really interested to hear how the lizard mat works. The bearded builder from you tube put a lp furnace in his trailer and said he only needed one or 3 LP tanks a month to heat the entire trailer to 60 all winter long and we live in a cold climate. He added 1” of XPS to the inside however.
I considered doing what jack did in his trailer. However I really didn’t have room for the lp gas tank. I squeezed something in every square inch. I used lizard mats in my cargo van for years. They don’t get super hot . Just warm enough to keep things from freezing or going bad and they use very little energy.
@@realworldcarpentryremodeli5868 a clever idea I just might steal. In my next trailer build (7x14 or 8x12) I would like to include a small heated area for caulk and chemicals and paints and thought about plug-in heat tape but like the mat concept. I have never used one so it never occured to me. I do not know if I can pull off what Jack (BB) pulled off with the propane heater but would love to actually heat the entire trailer if truth be said.
Yeah I would have liked to do full heat but it wasn’t in the cards this time. Maybe the next one in 5 or so years.
Howdy RWCR! Very cool trailer build out. All kinds of great ideas and modifications from other trailer build-outs to the point that your trailer is unique! I especially like the hinged cabinet that gives you man-door access! Question: around minute 3:13 you mention a dewalt battery power connector/adapter that runs your lights if you are not hooked up to shore power. Any chance you can tell me how to find that? Take care and again, great job. Thanks for sharing and for the mention in the description. I look forward to your next video.
Hey Steve. Thanks you!! Love your channel. Watched it a lot while building mine. This is the one I bought off Amazon.

@@realworldcarpentryremodeli5868 thank you much!
Did you add the plywood to the ceiling of your trailer or did it come that way? If you added the ply what fasteners did you use to attach it to the roof?
mannn just when i thought i had my ideas ready for my trailer i come across this awesome video. Thanks for the video, You did a great job. if you had to guess how much would you guess it cost for all the plywood used to make all the cabinets and shelves???
Hey thanks . It’s been a total game changer. I spent about $2000 on plywood. All paint grade birch plywood.
Thanks for the tour!
The small parts swing cabinet and the pull out work surfaces are very impressive! Did you use the light weight plywood Ron Paulk is so excited about?
@@louisokrent4717 hi thanks. No I didn’t use light weight plywood. I tried getting it but it’s really hard to get here and very expensive. I used standard d3 paint grade birch.
Nice set up. Where did you fine the battery adapter to run your lights. Thanks
Hi thanks. It’s a 20v generic battery adapter for dewalt batteries. I bought it on Amazon.
Great trailer. Might be better than Ron’s.
Wow thanks . Best compliment yet! I think for my purposes it is. But it’s definitely not as polished. He’s got it down to a science and mine wouldn’t be what it is without his and a bunch of other you tubers .
Do you still find your paulk compact smart bench a necessity?
I don’t use it daily however I do use it . It comes in super handy on larger interior trim jobs
Where is the GPS locator so you can find it when someone hooks up and takes the trailer.
It’s in there. I use the dewalt gps alarm and tracker. Not sure it’s completely necessary. We live in a very safe area and I don’t leave the trailer on sites. But you can never be too cautious.
