    There’s something to be said about building up something yourself that takes you places. Keeps you cool when it’s hot, dry when it’s wet and warm when it’s cold.

    Leave the trim red. Painting them white would actually take away from the look and that much white would bother you after awhile. 8f those are wire chases, everytime you had to get into them, if they were white, would show and you would have to paint them again because white shows dirt or finger smudges.
    A simple curtain could hide the ramp door. You might consider a lift bed system in place of the Murphy bed That way you could have it at a more comfortable height and you could store it at the ceiling. I think putting something on the wheel well is a great idea. Since you want a fireplace, put an electric fireplace on top of the wheel well and build a mantel around it. I thought where you put the condenser unit was a brilliant idea. Good job.

When our family was growing up, we told our kids they could bring whatever they wanted provided it fit into their backpacks (with their clothes etc.) & they would be responsible for carrying their backpacks all weekend. We explored all over Europe via train with that rule. Apparently, our daughters thought it was a good idea because they used it two weekends ago with their own kids/teens when they went skiing.

    Nice build! More 'on-grid' than I am doing my 20' toy hauler, but it looks like it fits your needs well. I would totally leave the corner panels RED. All that white (walls/ceiling) needs an accent color to break it up. I'd paint the stools red and a couple other things for an accent color. But my fav color is red, so I'm already bias!! LOL

    • @BuildYourOwnAdventure
      @BuildYourOwnAdventure  2 роки тому +3

      My next step will be upgrading components for off grid. We mostly camp in campgrounds, so it’s not really needed, but I would really like to have the freedom if we wanted to boondock more in the future. I agree that the red accent helps break things up! Thanks for watching!

    I suspected you'd need to make a change on the fresh water tanks. If and when you use them for a boondocking expedition, you'll notice a big change. For what we do, i have the vents open all the time because I don't haul water in the rig. I'll set up boondocking in Quartzsite then get water in my spare tanks so I never have to move. I can sit for months on end, theoretically of course. Great build, it looks great, and you seem to have enjoyed to process much more than I did. Good luck and happy travels.

    • @BuildYourOwnAdventure
      @BuildYourOwnAdventure  2 роки тому +2

      You were right! I thought the vents were causing issues while I was filling my tanks but I believe it’s caused by the fill line going directly into the first tank. I’ve still got a few changes to make but overall they get the job done. I’ve had a blast with our build and I’m ready to start another. Thanks for watching and happy travels to you as well.

    I would get rid of the basket on the end of the kitchen counters and make a flip up counter there.
    So you give up counter space for undercounter space. Oh that makes alot of sense.
    And I would much rather have an RV stove than having a huge oven taking up counter space.

    To preserve the underside wood floor just paint it with used auto oil like paint. It will waterproof the wood enough to make it water resistant but still be able to wick excess moisture away.

Live edge floating tv mantel. Live edge custom tables and shelves. Live edge counter top in bathroom everything on the inside is base on Mid evil 1900s. I've got the counter top hung with old zusty log chain with a Live running stream. Saloon doors for bathroom and bedroom. I really like it but its heavy.

    I’m doing a bus conversion; 7.5’x29’. How much solar do y’all use when you boondock - or do you know? Do you have a gas generator? I have 1 kiddo who I homeschool, and they want tv/vcr/dvd and a small portable evaporative cooler. I’m trying to decide if I can fit a 45-60 watt fridge with it. Any suggestions?
    I love the open shelving with baskets! My kid and I are designing that for ours, especially the kitchen. Do y’all keep your canned goods in them? How well does that work?
    Thanks for the tour! Very helpful and insightful for ideas! :)

    • @BuildYourOwnAdventure
      @BuildYourOwnAdventure  2 роки тому

      Thanks for the comment. Sounds like you have an awesome project ahead of you! We don't have solar on our trailer yet. I hope to add that down the road, we just haven't gotten there yet. We do run a gas generator when we boondock. We run a Champion 4650 Inverter generator. It's probably overkill for our trailer, but it will run everything and then some. Depending on the wattage your cooler pulls, you could possibly get away with a smaller inverter generator, like a 2000 watt. You will need to look at the tags on any electric items that you would like to run and see what wattage it's rated for. Then add all of those numbers up to get your total wattage. This will give you an idea of what size generator to purchase. Solar is a different animal and I'm not versed enough in it to help you there. Check out Will Prowse on UA-cam and he will teach you all you need to know.
      We do keep canned goods in our kitchen baskets, and it works well.
