I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! Just happened to bump into one of your videos around 6pm my time in Oregon and then when I looked up at the clock it was 12:26am! What can I say, I felt like a sponge soaking up all the knowledge/ information possible. I have never seen any of your videos before tonight and cant wait to see your next post! Thank you so much for being so inspirational and helpful! Your videos are so engaging and fun! I really enjoy the music and your tips! I just got a trailer the exact size and was hoping to find something like your videos on "How to" and this is perfect! Thank you again!! Looking forward to the next new video! I feel like your that TV show that folks can't get enough of ~ I'm like IM DYING for next week's episode on the inside of the tiny home! :P
you probably dont care but if you are bored like me during the covid times then you can stream all the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my gf recently xD
The buddy heaters are great. They are also extremely efficient (ceramic heat element) so they can be used indoors as long as there is a tiny bit of ventilation. I have used them for many years in my short bus, campers, etc. Your wood burning stove is actually more deadly (but I know you will vent that, so really just making a point) and a CO detector is so important with those. Many of my bus-friends have had their CO detectors go off because there was a leak or slight blockage in their stove vents.
Also, the propane is a moist heat so you WILL get frost and ice INSIDE your windows! haha I have had to scrape the inside of my bus windshield on super cold days.
It's 34 Cel today... Blazin Hot.. I'm kinda wishin for those cooler days... Judging by ur thermometer it' warming up pretty good... anywhoo love your video... and your excellent wood working skills
Low oxygen is not nearly as dangerous as carbon monoxide poisoning. Fortunately, there are battery operated carbon monoxide detectors available nowadays. There is no reason to use a propane heater in a closed space without a carbon monoxide detector. That said, there should always be a bit of ventilation when a propane heater is being used.
Such a lovely little vardo. Great job. I would not put plastic in mine though. Rather have the abode breathing, I think that is a healthier way of living. Some kind of felt barrier would be better maybe?
I really enjoyed watching your work and I have learned a lot of things from you so please continue doing more of your excellent work. Many thanks to Jason
That heater is 100% safe to use in your camper. I used to live in Alaska and we used those heaters extensively in ice huts when we were ice fishing. They are catalytic heaters and produce NO carton monoxide. Additionally, Canada and the U.S. require them to have oxygen depletion sensors that shut off the unit when oxygen levels are too low. Of course you should never rely on that as the sole safety measure. Leaving the window or door open a bit is good. As insurance, you could also add two adjustable vents (one high and one one low on opposite walls) which you can open or close to ensure adequate ventilation when using the heater.
I am building a Vardo myself and I will be using 4 deep cycle batteries with an 3000 watt inverter for the little bit of 120 I will be needing. The rest will be 12 volt lighting and whatever else I need. I will be using a charge controller and 2 solar panels giving 600 watt charging capacity from two solar panels. The controller and panels are available from Amazon as a kit. The batteries are of course from Canadian Tire. I live in Saskatchewan. I presume you live someplace near Kitchener when you said who built your windows.
I love the design but me being a big more practical and not having very good woodworking skills I would probably go down the path of straight walls which would make my task a bit easier lol. I still love the design of the roof and would definitely stick with that. because you have designed a larger than average trailer/tiny home etc I think the mains wiring done properly is a definite must but som e 12 volt LED lighting as well for being off grid..
Yeah, I'm looking at two options. Everything available is overkill for this size but I figure regardless of what I go with I don't need to keep it running.
Not sure exactly what insulation you are using but have read polystyrene & electrical cable PVC insulation react over a number of years making the insulation brittle. Nice work by the way.
I tried but it wouldn't come off. After getting your comment I tried again with a knife and found the black plastic was glued to the bottom. Fits better now. Thanks
In this video: We begin ruining a good thing. FYI you'd have gotten way, way more bang for buck by insulating the ceiling instead of walls. Why didn't you use cut nails when building?
Don't put plastic in the walls it's not an intelligent idea as a vapor barrier, you will cause condensation and the moisture that ends up between the plastic and the insulation will make your insulation mould.
Sorry about the out of focus footage... hope you enjoy the video.

Looking fantastic. I'm looking forward to seeing it finished 😊
You and me both! Still so much to do.
There's these neat little butterfly twist vents that you can get.
I have a couple of buddy heaters and they have low oxygen shutoff valves. Really like your vardo and appreciate the craftsmanship.
Yeah, I was looking at the buddy but it was way overkill for the size. This little cabin is only 50 sq. ft.

Great and clean job done at this stage ! Thanks for sharing .
Thanks for watching!
Nice job!

Looking good👍
Waiting for next video
Superb build! Thank you very much for taking the time to share it with us!
So uh, yea... I liked this video too.
looks good
Thank you

I really want to build one of these in the spring
It's a lot of work but also a lot of fun.
Looking great, Jason. I wonder if one of those little boat wood stoves would be too warm.🤔
Yeah, I'm looking at two options. Everything available is overkill for this size but I figure regardless of what I go with I don't need to keep it running.
Good job. Mike from Vista California.
Awesome! Thank you!
Heard good things about wool insulation.i would have had a skyline put in.but its beautiful
That would be nice. I'm leaving my roof vacant until I can put in the chimney and possibly a solar panel.
Why not do a 12 volt battery system in also add Solar panel.
I’d put the moister barrier on the outside to keep moisture from getting in….
Not sure exactly what insulation you are using but have read polystyrene & electrical cable PVC insulation react over a number of years making the insulation brittle. Nice work by the way.
take the black bottom off of the propane canister for better stability.
I tried but it wouldn't come off. After getting your comment I tried again with a knife and found the black plastic was glued to the bottom. Fits better now. Thanks
@@TrailguidePictures glad to have helped! i am thoroughly enjoying your build videos!
Jason, did you find a cost difference using foam instead of fiberglass insulation?
the Jackery Solar generator look in to it no need for wires in your cabin
I've heard before that 1 person = 100 Watts of heat.
Why not insulate the ceiling?
I might down the road but I would like to keep the wood panel and beam look. I'll see how it goes without it first.

Dear Pauline.Thank You.What would You suggest for this App?
Could have done without the irritating background music.
Turn the volume down then 🙄
