Good job
Thanks.
It's nice to see someone actually do something on a build, and show their way of doing things. Most builds on YT are here is before blah blah, here is after, blah blah. Looks like you have an awesome work ethic. That is great.
Well done.
Thanks for the comment and watching.
Thank you for showing how you're doing the build! Very helpful.
The BEST!!! Window installation video I've ever seen on UA-cam wow You really explain a lot not like other videos thank you a great great video. I like the idea that you don't talk about other things. Write to the point one more time a great great great video
I was excited to see a another build video posted from you, hopefully it will get me motivated to finish my own cargo trailer conversion.
Great job showing and explaining your window installation.
This is really good. I appreciate you making these videos.
Thanks for watching Elaine and thank you for the comment.
Good job loving this new camper build series.
Thanks for watching Wendy.
Very nice. You do awesome work Kevin. I love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing.
Good work! I'm getting ready to dive into a 7x16 build. Been gathering ideas and stuff to look out for. Thanks for sharing this. It helps greatly
Thanks for the comment and watching if I can help let know.
@@Robinson-Homestead Thanks Kevin
Window looks great in that side. Nice fit.
The inside trim is usually bigger than the window itself
Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for the update I have no doubt it’s gonna look great when you get finished G-man out
Your doing a real good job Kevin on that trailer.....loks good....CHEERS
I. Like those windows they are perfect size thanks for sharing
Thanks for all the comments JERRY.
Pennsylvania looks nice and green in the background😎
BEAUTIFUL work on the windows! Wish mine turned out so well. I had to do a LOT of caulk to fill in gaps. Yours is beautiful!,,,
Just got to take your time.
Very insightful awsome work
Nice work Kevin! I believe it’s going to turn out nice! Thank you for sharing!
Great job Kevin looking good matey
Great work Kevin!
Always interesting videos that you do Kevin, they just seem to end way to fast. That happens when you enjoy watching something interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Looking good Kevin!!
Great series!
Thank you so much for watching.
For the side steal beams paint them with rustulium to try to avoid rust easy can't hurt anyway
I enjoyed this video. I have the exact same window and I'm taking a break putting it in haha. Hole cut, doesn't fit exact yet. Frustrating. You tought me a better way to do it. I am headed out to try your way. Thanks for the vid !
Just take your time I'm sure you will get it Scott thank you for the comment.
@@Robinson-Homestead well, the window is in. Looks good. Thanks again !
Two things you need to do that he didn't mention one when you put your top and bottom headers in silicone them to the walls so if the window leaks or cold air comes in it won't get moisture past those headers and when you trace it out use the thinnest pencil you can because you'll get a little eighth of a gap between the tracing line and the pencil and your template on the back wall
Thanks for watching
Good job.
Can you add a link to where you got your windows?
You need to be careful sealing the inside. Water could possibly get trapped and cause the frame to rust. And a tip for windows that lack a 1/8" or less from fitting between the 1 x 2 metal tubes is to carefully hammer the clearance open.
Good information thank you.
I use trailers like this all the time. The roof of these get super hot.
That's for sure Ted.
I thought the foil facing on the insulation is supposed to face outward to work properly.
Interesting to see how you do things. Did you put any butyl tape on the outside edge of your window between your window and your outside skin? You should have. Then caulk around the edge. Dicor butyl tape.
Looking good Kevin. Where did you buy the windows from?
Dang how many tubes of caulk did you need to water proof this thing.
Quite a lot , thanks for watching.
When you install your luan inside, you should be able to remove that window spacer.
Could you post the mink to where you bought these windows from? My steal frame is 16 on center and I think these would fit as well?
Man Im glad that trailer is working out, but, I'm still mad about it. Imagine some poor guy bought it and put all his tools inside and then it rained.. not cool
That would not be good.
👍😎
Hey there Kevin, great job!! I got a question for you. If you were to cut a templet again would you use that inside ring or our the window it self?
I would probably do it the same way with the inside ring
How deep is that window? My window is an inch and so is my wall but I can’t get them to reach each other
Hi Kevin, what size are the Windows? Have a 5x8 that I want to install windows! Nice job,very helpful video,
I left a link in the description Gary.
Hi Kevin - thank you for your videos, I learn a lot. Im getting ready to order a 6 x 10, but i was thinking of having more windows for light and fresh air. Your reasons for a couple of small windows are valid - more wall space for storage etc. Now that you've used your trailer, would you do it the same way? Do you still find the cabinet space more valuable than light?
I do like the cabinets but maybe longer windows.
I wish you were my neighbor.
Maybe one day.
Is the space between your studs exactly 14”?
Sorry that was quite a while ago i really don't remember i wish i could help.
Hey Kevin hope all is well...I'm having the hardest time getting those screws to catch from the inside. I know it has to fit in that groove. Any pointers?
OT, we had a really hard time also, just don't give up you will get it thanks for watching.
@@Robinson-Homestead tks much
Should have asked this before. The tin snips you used to cut out the window opening in the aluminum are they straight cut only or did you used a straight cut ans and a left cut for the corners? Thanks, Paul.
I just used a straight cut snips.
Thanks for the reply. I have all three straight, right and left, but just making sure before I dive into this in October. The heat down here in NC has been a bit much and I am doing things on the trailer outside not to leave out the almost daily summertime thunderstorms. I can get a few things done, but the heat doesn't agree with me as much as when I was younger and in better health. You're a good inspiration to get going on this. Thanks, Paul.
It seems like a jigsaw would have been a lot easier.
What is a better trailer this 1 or the runaway ?
The box trailer camper for sure I Love it.
Is it 15in window in 16oc sides?
They are 14x22 Link in the description below the video.
@@Robinson-Homestead thank you
Where did you get your windows I can't find them anywhere
Look on eBay or Amazon.
Kevin, Question? On the insulation, does the foil side go to inside or outside? Why?
CAJUN Jamis foil side toward the living space as a vapor barrier, is what I've always heard.
I think your right Thomas But i'm not sure.
What kind and size screw did you use on the window?
I can't remember sorry Gerald I'm thinking about 3/4 inch.
Will this window work if you have 3/4 plywood walls
Should work fine John.
Dang bud as much as you spent in time , trouble,and supplies . You could bought a trailer with everything already done or a small travel trailer, point was to have a better one than u can buy and it's worse than and old camper redo
Thanks for the comment my friend and for watching.
Too much talking
Thanks for watching
