Cargo trailer to camper conversion
Вставка

- This is just a quick on unedited video of my cargo trailer conversion into a camper. I posted another video a while back that was just a slide show of pictures and I had a few people that said they wanted a walkthrough video. Try not to be too critical. This was just a quick walk through unedited video. Please subscribe if you like it :)
I could definitely see this being a trend. RV's are so expensive, and built so cheap...
Already a trend.
Fancy seeing you here! It's Tammie Parrish Miller from STB's channel! I've been looking into doing something similar to this possibly in a few years. I have a friend who lives on BLM land in Arizona full time in one of these. I'm probably gonna go with a camper but who knows? See ya in the classic rock section!
two beer cookie cutter expensive RVs are the worst! Buildout of a workvan, school bus or a cargo trailer is definitely the way to go!
Are they really cheap?
Maybe only the low cost ones are cheaply made.
This is one of the best setups I have seen. It is very neat and adorable! Thank you for sharing!
Dude, pat yourself on the back, good job!
THE PHOENIX .......thank you so much!!
Frickin beautiful doghouse when the mrs. is upset with you
LOL.....Thank you !!!
Michael Skinner awesome
If you're paying for the house, send HER out!🤣🤣🤣
Mobile man cave.
Yea and the nice thing is u can get far away from her.
Great job. Getting supplies and doing everything yourself is the way to go. Give yourself a pat on the back brother. 👍🏼
Thank you, I appreciate that :)
My jaw dropped as soon as you opened the door !! NIIIICE!!
Linda Ellis ..........thank you Linda
My first comment EVER on a UA-cam vidro; AWESOME!
Rosemarie Reynolds ...........thank you so much!!!
Linda Ellis as if see a Nigerian for the first time
As long as you are not talking about when he opened the bathroom door Linda! :D
You can open a side business custom making these for people.
Who’s they lol
I kinda look at this is a jigsaw puzzle
Put me on the list
@Mr. C ua-cam.com/video/Jrru9SHCPqc/v-deo.html
this has to be one of the nicest conversions in this size that I've seen! It looks awesome!
Kathy D .......thank you so much Kathy!!
I just sold my small motorhome and now I miss it. I am almost 70 years old female and did not feel safe towing a car prior to that we had a big truck and 5th wheel. When my husband passed, I could not hook the 5th wheel up and would have to ask friends to do it...no problem on the road, but when I got to wherever I was going, I had to ask someone for help to release the 5th wheel. Your camper is just perfect. Do you happen to know the weight as it is shown and a ball park price? Thanks, Janice
Really nice. That is what I want. Love the colors and love the design!. Now I need to go find a trailer and convert one. Thanks for sharing.
Impressive, I really like the Hot Rod theme. Looks better than what you can buy at a RV dealer.
Love this build out!! You're brave putting your batteries/electrical equitp. right under your water 💧
Really well done! So cute! Love your colors! I've got to put Harbor Freight and Ebay on my list of places to shop.
Very Impressive for not being a carpenter! 👍👍👍😁
About how much was total cost?
Great job! I like how simple and clean it looks. Also you can still use it to haul stuff.
You did a great job on this trailer. I can only see one thing missing and that is screens to keep those pesky little mosquitoes out😁
Great build Sir. May I ask how did you do the ceiling, did you insulate the insulation, it's really neat, did you pull the insulation over the beams, or do each one seperate.. thanks.
Quik Wok this is a really lovely build! I really appreciate how minimal and yet efficient it all is. Do you still have the same 2500 watt generator and do you recommend it? What kind is it?
"Helloooo Ladies!" HA HA HA HA HA - you crack me up. Nice job, by the way.
I despise futons, but I really like what you have done in this trailer.. very clean and bless your heart, a toilet!! I hate seeing cute little conversions, then finding out there is nowhere to pee and a girl will have to go find an outhouse! nope not me.
The removable futon is a great idea, as long as it's comfortable. I could see myself wanting to use this trailer to haul furniture and other large items occasionally.
Beautifully and thoughtfully made. Very innovative! And thank you for not ending every sentence like a question! And not using words like "supercool" and "tons of storage". Guess I'm old, but it's " like" "super" annoying?
Hah!
Yes! It's so annoying to hear people ending every sentence like a question. It's just plain verbal sloppiness. It does seem to be generational. What an indictment (one of many...) of our failed public education system.
also annoying is hearing where people keep their spoons, dishes, etc. please move on to something we care about.
Kelli I like the way you think
You should do that as a business, I work fork an RV accessory manufacturer.
Thanks David! if I had a CNC machine to cut out the pieces faster it might be fun to do.
I’d like to see what it looks like with the bed out/down/open. (Don’t know what term fits) I too love the black and white with red accents. It all reminds me of a 50’s theme diner. Thanks for giving us a peek!
50’s diner theme, as soon As I saw it I thought the same thing.
At 4:46; "I'm not a carpenter" you could of fooled us buddy . Great job!
Gino Garza ..........thank you Gino!!
I have a 6x10. You gave me some good ideas! Oh, and a magnet fly screen on the door and cross the entire rear cargo doors would work wonders and keep the wife happy. And when the wife's happy,...
Good job, I just don't understand why RV manufactures don't just start with a cargo trailer to begin with, and eliminate all the problems of a traditional wood RV build, with a crap roof. We've had about 6 travel trailers, and if we get to do this again the choices are Scamp/Casita, Cargo Trailer Build, or van build. If you have a golden parachute pension, by all means buy a traditional RV, and pay people to work on it.
Mt Thielsen I have a Forest River Work and Play toy hauler it has a one piece metal roof but this guy did an awesome job I paid 25000 for mine.
I agree. If you want a durable trailer cheap a cargo trailer is a great start. Seems the RV companies could make a RV as durable for a reasonable price. There is a cargo trailer company in Florida that custom makes cargo trailers to be converted, but you have to build the inside. They insulate it, put the windows in, etc, but no furniture. I think it's called weeroll. there are some videos on youtube.
Jim Bo THANKS for mentioning weeroll, I went to their site www.weeroll.com/ and the DESIGN / STRUCTURALLY is SUPERB, after seeing HOW they build theirs I wouldn't even think about using a regular cargo trailer.
Need prints on electrical and plumbing .any availability.or just wing it .
Numa Newbern that’s the route I’m going since I have no skills.
This is a great build. I might copy it. I like the lay out. Only thing I might change is to raise up the couch/bed area to make more storage
Even the over priced RVs that guzzle gas will eventually build better smaller options. People have finally got tired of the bull from every angle it seems and a lot of good will come from this
Is this a 5x12 trailer? That's what I have and am thinking about doing something similar. I like the bathroom idea- especially glassing it into a shower room. Thanks for all the ideas!
Thank you. This is a 6 by 12 trailer
Excellent job! It's like Doctor Who's Tardis, deceptively spacious!
Nice job on the conversion, you really touched all the bases with this build. Love the beer sign!!
Jay A. ..........thanks Jay!!
I've watched a lot of these and this is one of the better conversions.
Thank you! I appreciate that.
Very nice wish my cargo looked that good lol. Nice work. God bless
Awesome job! I'm fixing up a 1971 Trails West Campster and it is nothing like this! What do you mean, you're not a carpenter!!!!!
Excellent build. How much do you have in it all in if I can ask?
completely AMAZING!!!. EXCELLENT JOB
That a Pimp conversion ,nice job👍🏾
This is the nicest and clean looking conversion I have seen yet. Brilliantly done and quite the eye candy as well as functional.
Thank you Sir!!
Super nice! Thanks for sharing! We’re planning to do the same! 😄
Roughly how much money do you think you have put into that build?
Your trailer looks very nice.... amazing really. The most impressive part of your project is the mini-kitchen. You can wash up, clean up and sit down and relax. I also think it's cool that you managed to create some sort of color scheme from the black and white checkerboard floor, to the black futon, white walls and those cool matching appliances in red and silver.
On a more analytical note there are many ways to design or setup a trailer. I have seen one setup like a mobile office, they can be communication hubs, for bugging out or evacuations or for travelling and sleeping. It all depends on what your purpose is. But most are not as stylish as yours is :)
Even the outside graphics match the inner color scheme.
Great job on both the trailer and video. I don't have sound so I would like to know make, model, size , and weight. The layout is simple and efficient.
We do in fact have an extra futon. Hmm....
joe woodchu.... Get is a 6' by 12' interstate LoadRunner trailer and it weighs about 2100 pounds
joe woodchuck turn on captions

The Diamond Hunter I was unaware of that feature.
Nice job! Thanks for sharing!
Nice job, I like all aspects of it. The best thing is you can use it to haul if you need to. Got me thinking now, I could take my bike then just roll it out when parked at campground. Cool.
Nice work. 👍🏽it looks professionally done
Does anybody remember camping without electricity? You don't need all the extra stuff, but it sure is nice.
Mancave on wheels. Love it.
Nice man!! I got severe videos up on my channel of mine in progress
I wonder what kind of insulation he used?
I love to watch these videos and this is the best conversation I've seen and my favourite colours red and black well done.stay safe from Scotland
Wow that is really neat!! I've been wondering about this kinda build.
It's gorgeous! What did you use to insulate the ceiling and walls?
Maybe the best build I’ve seen - totally my style. Nice! Congrats.
OHMYGOH!!!
Very clean build. I like the thoughtfulness you put into it.
Excellent job on your trailer !
Excellent job on your Video !
LIKED/SUBSCRIBED !
It's a beautiful conversion! Well done!!!!!
Thank you for sharing , our plans is to live off grid full time. We can easily live in this.
My cargo trailer the main spot I get leaks is right where you mounted your tv. I hope you don’t have the same problem I did. Cool video awesome project
thank you!! Luckily I don't have any leaks right now (fingers crossed)
Wow, this is a nice set-up you came up with. Now I feel like making my own. Thanks for sharing. John
Thanks for the comment John!! It really was fun to build.
That is an AWESOME trailer!!! Well Done!!! Great video also!!!
great job mate looks amazing! very nice indeed!
i've gotta a trailer similar to yours without the modification,,,since day one of ownership i wanted to do what you've done....great job,man
this thing is sweet! thank you for sharing.
Wow never seen a cargo trailer converted to a camper. 👍👍 genius! Thanks for the walk thru, getting ideas 💡 for my camper build
Absolutely beautiful job! Looks great!
That’s a good trailer
CARAVAN AND MOTORHOME ADVENTURES .....thank you!
Bret Pierson your welcome
You could replace the mirror on the bathroom door with a fold down kitchen counter top for more countertop. Nice and simple with everything one needs!
Really like that idea.
since my last comment of your build I have seen at least 50 other conversions and your is by far the BEST layout and interior design of anything out there.... WELL DONE Sir!!!
Thank you So much! I appreciate that!
Great finds and great deals. Was that a picture of your pet squirrel? You've done a awesome build. Love your color scheme, checkerboard floors remind me of the 50's great choice. Enjoy your travels 🇺🇸
Thanks Tamara!! LOL.....No not a pet...haha
Nice. Thanks for posting this. I going to do my own in the future.
thank you Jim.....post pics of the progress :)
That looks great! I love the colors and styling. I hope your sink never has a leak with those open electronics though
Into The Mystery ⓭ ....... thank you!! I may have to make some modifications
I like your color scheme. Even your bungee cords match 😄. It really is adorable
Thank you!!
Beautiful job nice 👍
And still room for one dirt bike! Love it man, nice job!!
Exactly my thoughts.
Very nice, it's a job well done. Simplicity with a little flair!
I like the setup really really really really cute simple but it's got everything you need once that showers in there
Thank you!!
4k subscribers, and 20k likes. Nice 👍🏻 also, sweet build, and can I have that microwave 😅
FYI: I saw this video some time ago and used the solar motion lights on my cargo trailer. I didn't like that I had to use a straight pin to disable the lights every time I travelled at night. I came up what is, to me, a great idea. I opened up the unit and added a waterproof 12v push On-Off switch to the light lead. Now I can just reach up and turn on or off for traveling. PM and I can send a pic.
The ones that I put on did have a button to turn them off when traveling at night. I cannot remember what brand they were. I just kept looking on Amazon for something in the description that said they had an On/Off switch. Safe Travels :)
What a great job. So we'll built. I'm a retired carpenter , going to buy a 2 Axel so I can load my Harley.
Hope mine looks as good as yours .
Thanks ,u put jayco to shame.
Thank you for the great comment! I hope you have as much fun with your build as I did with mine. It's very satisfying once you start making some good progress. Good luck :)
You did a terrific job! All the basics and room to haul stuff. I converted a horse trailer and don't quite have the width you do. Good choice.
Nice little camper build!
Really nice. Love the colors and your layout.
Nicely done man You did excellent all you need to do now is just figure what you need and how much you can live with out and then leave the sticks and bricks behind you have the home on wheels paid for
Really nice, dude. Two axles would be much better and safer, but great job. The john looks great.
That's just so amazing! My hats off to you! Great job! I've dreamed of doing something like that for years and never did. You did it! Congrats!!!
Trust me. Owner of six RV's. You just saved yourself gobs of money because the RV industry is a huge joke. And a money pit. Good job dude.
Thanks Tye!
Excellent work and good usage of the small space. Just wondering, when you use the toilet, how much legroom you have when you close the door? The potty appears too close to the door, but maybe it's just the camera's perspective issue.
Thank you and Great question! I am 6'1" and weigh about 240. I had plenty of leg room while doing my business as well as doing the paperwork.
Really nice set-up; thanks for sharing!
When I see a converted utility trailer (angled front) I wonder if there's units available with the door installed onto the drivers side angled wall versus the side (or diy to move it)?
I always thought that nose, though aerodynamic (kind of), is nearly useless space. ;-)
great job. i like this a lot ,wish i had the know how to do my own.
wow this is cool I like it
Nice...like the fact you put a shitter and shower in there , Not having to go outside on a cold night and not having to hear the wife complain about peeing in the woods...excellent. Plus the screen on the door- yeah.
You can use a water trough off of ebay for about 40 bucks for a shower pan.
Nice job on your lil" trailer.
I very much like what you have done.
Thank you !!
Bret Pierson how cute...but I have that exact futon and holy crap, it's UNCOMFORTABLE.
Jennifer King .........haha....yes, it is not the most comfortable. We have an air mattress that we put on it most of the time. We store the air mattress and the sleeping bags behind the futon.
Bret Pierson thats a great idea.... i was thinking of doing the same thing.
You did a really nice job on this project.
Paper towels were on backwards, other than that, fantastic job!!
haha.....Thank you!!
Lol..OCD much?
Hahaha!!
I noticed that also. Great job on your design and build.
OMG.... Now ya gotta check the roll of toilet paper. LOL
Very Nice Thank You =Cosmo
