    This little place is a real cutie! I love the decor and the layout! It looks so cozy and comfy. Awesome tv set up and I like the openness and simplicity of the drop down tables. They also show that if you have a good eye and sense of style, you can make anything look great!

    • @billanddeb
      @billanddeb  Місяць тому +1

      We've covered this subject in the past. Private campgrounds generally do not accept Cargo Trailer Conversions. However, Deb and I have found a couple here and there that do. That's why 99% of the time we stay in US Army Corp of Engineer campgrounds and State Parks. No hassle there. In fact, we prefer these types of campgrounds for a multitude of reasons. First and foremost,,,,,,,price. If you're 62 and over, you qualify for the America The Beautiful Senior Pass which gets you a 50% discount at all federally managed campgrounds. A typical COE site is rarely more than $30 per night, and with the Senior Pass that equates to $15 per night. Most have water and electric at the site, and some have sewer at the site. In addition, you're not crammed in like sardines, and, most of these campgrounds are next to a beautiful river or lake.

  • @daveholte7658
    @daveholte7658 2 місяці тому

    Interesting videos. I don’t see any of them mention or discuss the main # 1 feature of any build
    That is torsion axles and Vault Hubs.
    Pulling these trailers all over the roads, leaf springs that break and old school packing bearings is never fun
    I may need to do a Cargo Conversion instead of those over rated expensive RVs..

    • @billanddeb
      @billanddeb  2 місяці тому +1

      A few of our walk thru videos have featured those with torsion axles. The biggest issue I've seen is inadequate ground clearance. I have yet to hear anyone say they can be adjusted for higher ground clearance. Low ground clearance creates a multitude of issues when it comes to sewer drains, etc. In addition, those torsion axles I have seen on Cargo Trailer Conversions have the same spindles and bearings with quick lube hubs.

    • @richscott2952
