    With no insult meant to others who have built a camper in a cargo trailer, this is the smartest and smartest looking conversion that I have ever seen. The kitchen that can be indoors or out, as you please, is incredibly smart AND smooth. It is one of those ideas that, after you see it in action, you wonder why they don’t build all of them that way. Certainly everyone WANTS to do it , but I have never seen it done as if he had built 20 like that and worked out all of the ‘bugs’. The interior looks great, has everything you need and more, it isn’t fussy but is very clean and well built, and it has some extras that would make being stranded for days feel like a vacation. And ALL of that at 1500lbs! A Prius or an Accord can pull up to 2000. Why bother if your suspension can take you way off road but to find a rig that nice that most people could tow with their existing vehicle is the cherry on top. Seriously, the smartest cargo conversion that I have ever seen! Amazing

      @DeathAngelHRA 2 роки тому +9

      Accords can only tow 1000 lbs and Prius are rated from 800 lbs in the early models with a maximum of 1598 lbs. Just because you can pull it, doesn't mean you can stop it when needed.

    • @maobfh
      @maobfh 2 роки тому +20

      @@DeathAngelHRA - that’s too bad. The 2000 Accord and the 2012 Prius were rated at 2000lbs. Had the Accord modified somewhat to handle a bit more, but not much. I made sure it could stop with the load before I hit the super slab. And made sure it could handle reasonable speeds. And stop. Never tried to pull with the Prius as I have a truck to do that kind of thing since ‘06. Frankly, at my age, it is past time that my children or even my oldest grandson do that kind of thing. But I appreciate your instruction as much of the the younger set have not had the benefit of the instruction that were common knowledge before anyone handed their kids the keys to the car in my youth. My kids would roll their eyes at my rules and why did they have to learn to drive a stick or change a flat tire when we had AAA. Having kids of your own makes you smarter so I only had to listen to their complaints about their difficult childhood for about 30-40 years before they started filling the space between their ears while raising kids of their own. My job now is to corrupt their kids and insure the circle continues.

    I am living in my 6x10 utility trailer that is half converted into a tiny home. I'm grateful that I can shower at work and do my laundry there also. I'm currently working on a shower and a pooper so then it will be sufficient to live in. I do have 600 watts of solar and 200ah battery, and then I have a reverse osmosis system, so I'm good for the off grid, and so far, everything is working amazing.

    WOW! Vince made a real gem in such a small trailer. Outstanding DIY build! Each aspect/feature is well designed, with elegant solutions. I particularly like the "pass through" galley, the V-nose utilization, the thoughtful easy access to the wiring (chases, and panels), the clever legs on the pull-out bed platform (notice how they swing under by themselves when he closes it), the nice use of light woods and finishes, the awnings and so much more. Outstanding. And in such a SMALL trailer too! What a gem! Vince is a craftsman. Also notice his organized truck with extra gear.

In the event we have to leave I've set it up in order to fight are way out if nessasary. I am currently building my ford expedition. It's a dedicated bug out truck. 2 years now.
