    Before going into a rant about how efficient and aesthetically pleasing this build is, I have to mention how really humble and down to earth this man is…too few and far between- agree with other comments, best build I’ve seen for the size

    • @marlenen6130
      @marlenen6130 3 роки тому +3

      If you mostly need the potty at night to just pee, try a urinal bottle. I found one on Amazon for under $12, it’s very compact and I can just dump it out in the morning. I spray it with cleaner/disinfectant, stuff a paper towel in it and store it in handy dedicated “zipper shoe bag” (super handy bags with a loop to hang on anything). Traveled from North of Seattle to Mesa Az last month with my 72 year old mom in my Aliner and she was happily surprised how easy it was to pee (several tines a night, then you may need to dump it, I use a laundry bottle). We didn’t take my porta potty cuz we knew we wouldn’t be wild camping, but have toilets available everywhere.

    Excellent build. Lots of great ideas that we could use in our box truck. When it comes to build outs, it's good to use things like 1 x 1 and 2 x 2 and hollow core doors. Folks sometimes forget that they need to build an aircraft, not a tank.

    I love the conversion camper. I just halftop buy a 5x8 today and was looking at UA-cam when I ran across this video. I was shocked when I saw the gentleman’s shirt. He was in the Coast Guard just like myself. I’m a 30 year veteran, now retired. I have a Jeep Wrangler unlimited to use as my tow vehicle. So I had to keep the trailer I choose small. I love the way he customize everything. It is unbelievable. I wish that there was a way that I could actually get Intouch with him to ask so questions if I run into a brick wall. But Bravo Zulu to my fellow Coastie on a job excellently done.

    I love that dark wood countertop, so spacious and beautiful. A smart man if he has a Berkey Water Filter, this is the best portable solution for clean water. It even takes out arsenic and fluoride if you add the white filters. I would urge everyone to get the arsenic filters as Los Angeles and other cities have high arsenic levels in tap water.
    A creative bed solution and all the bedding too. So much space for pillows, sheets, blankets, towels, bulky items like sweaters. Clever to make a second wall. The wood cabinets are lovely and have an artistic look to them, and they are real wood not MDF. The spice rack is spacious and so nice to have! Looks great.
    The solid roof rack with solar mounted is also good for not overheating solar panels and allowing air flow below. I would add a fairing in front so wind does not lift them up when driving and there is no risk of shearing off or wind damage with time.
    What an incredible number of skills you need to build out a trailer like this. He made his own cabinets, all that electrical work, plumbing, weight distribution, welding of roof rack, simply amazing. Well done, and I envy your skills. This is a functional, roomy trailer with lovely handmade features. Your wife is a lucky woman! Thanks for the tour.

    Saw this on Jonnie's Journey (I think that was what she calls her channel), but here I get to see much more. Curt certainly has packed a lot into a small cargo trailer and with so many great ideas here... from a freezer set to not freeze, in addition to one that does. So many ways to keep it lighter, but not detracting from the quality of the cabinetry. Repurposing all the things he did, my way of doing things. Modifying the 25 year old dish rack into a spice rack, beautiful! The only thing I don't like is containers used for gray tanks. It apparently works for them. Best wishes and safe travels.

    Good job! You have thought out your design well and made it fully functional to your needs. I would like to do something similar that will accommodate my ultra classic.
