I'm a disabled veteran. I live in the woods on a lake in Michigan. We travel south whenever nasty weather is forecast. I do Yoga for PTSD and use marijuana. I do carry a Michigan Medical Marijuana License but I avoid being where cannabis is prohibited. I’m a marijuana refugee from Indiana where they lock up veterans with PTSD who use cannabis, so I left. My disability due to a condition known as Functional Neurological Disorder (FND).
I used to be an important person. Now I’m just an old hippie chasing 70 degrees with my hippie girlfriend Debra. Peace and Love. Karma is real.

2019 Chrysler Pacifica Campervan. No van was harmed in making this cheap luxury travel van video :)

2019 Chrysler Pacifica Limited campervan for road trips and other adventures. I had a full-size Chevy van previously and I loved it. But due to the noise and rough ride I had to change to something quieter with more comfortable to decrease my PTSD symptoms. I didn’t alter either van in my conversions. Most of our meals are cooked before we leave home, refrigerated, then reheated in the microwav...

Nice job! Can I ask who your detailer is?? Shines bright...lol .
I was born in Michigan. In AZ now. I built a cargo trailer conversion 5 years ago out of necessity. I was homeless. Houseless now by choice. I’m saving good monies now. Mines different from yours but I love it. I’ve got a 7x14. I put 2” of insulation and finished with redwood and cedar picket fencing. I had to build mine while living in it. I like what you did. I have a couple videos on my channel of my trailer.

Thanks for the tour, it's a nice setup. Thank you for your service and the sacrifices you have made. Some of us actually appreciate it.
That’s almost exactly how we’ve done ours! We opted for no water system because we can haul enough water for our needs for a weekend or so. It makes it simple for winterizing the unit. We even have the half umbrella for our awning. Our ac unit is stuck in the escape window as we need it. The way it’s designed, if you have to use the escape window you flip a couple levers and the ac will fall out onto the ground. That umbrella we have is held on by those quick fist clamps. Like the over landers use for axes and shovels. It’s also how we have the tv antenna mounted. Takes about five minutes to put away. Not too fancy inside either. Don’t cook in there unless it’s pouring rain outside.
Is your trailer insulated?
@@bigjoe2458 Yes factory installed
Nice set up.
Why not buy a small travel trailer? I bet you paid more than what it would've cost to get a travel trailer
@@nana-l5v6s This cost way less than travel trailers. Plus it’s a lot more durable. I heard so much about problems getting serviced too. Plus the resale value of quality cargo trailers is good.
Did you happen to make a video of the install for the ac
I find what you've created interesting, on several levels. I have property near the southwest coast of Nova Scotia. I've used for camping in the past. I would like to upgrade to something more secure than a tent. Additionally. I own the same truck you have. I live in Louisiana, it is a long drive. Do you feel confident wile towing on the interstate ? What mpg do you get ? Have tried changing the power stations from the truck ? Would I be correct to assume, you use the gas generator to charge the power stations, when plug in is not available ? I don't want to spend alot on a large power station with extra batteries, only to find that they won't accept power from the generator. Thank you for your service.
@@normansimonsen1203 The Ridgeline pulls this trailer fine on the highway. I think I get 13 or 14 mpg. Adding a tonneau cover on the truck added 2 mpg. I actually have 3 small power stations. I really like Pecron. I have two of them each has 1200 watt inverter. I paid less than $300 each. I did this because with two, if one has problems I still have the second unit. This was a choice over one larger. I charge usually just by plugging in at home or the campground. I have the generator also in case I’m not able to plug-in and the batteries are low. I run everything off the batteries except heat and AC. Charging from the truck would work if I had a DC to DC charger. I haven’t needed it so I haven’t invested in that. I have boondocked before in Arizona but it’s not our thing. We like state parks but mostly use COE campgrounds. It’s worth the $15 per night to have electric hookups and usually water.
Very nice build! I certainly enjoyed the tour. Thank you for posting!
I'm just curious as to why you felt it necessary to let everybody know that you are a disabled veteran. video has nothing to do with the military or being disabled
Same reason as everything else I said, it’s just a part of who I am.
The above comment really caught me off guard as it was just so out of place and unnecessary. I will counter with THANK YOU for your service.
@@healthcoachrene7351 don't you get tired of credit Seekers
you always have the option of skipping the video if offends you. why did you feel the need to comment? what were you hoping to achieve? do you think any one of us give a sh1t what you think? "Remain Silent and be thought a fool. Or, open your mouth and remove all doubt", Abraham Lincoln
@@williamhudson4938 Cool your jets Johnny. No one is offended. It was a simple question. I suspect you have other issues in life and may want to spend less time on RUclips.
Nice trailer and setup, Terry! Is that a 6x12? Seems bigger but 7x14 usually have double axle?
It’s 6 1/2 x 12. I had it built with a foot of extra height so we can stand. The 12 feet doesn’t include the V nose. I wanted single axle. I’m glad I did because of maintenance expenses for the bearings, tires, etc. Most I’ve seen seem to be 6 wide. I think the extra half foot of width seems to add a lot more room.
@@TerryMoore420 6.5x12, ok. I've not seen one that size before. Very nice. I really like my single axle 6x10. So many are quick to recommend double axle for safety but that extra axle does add weight and complexity.
They only need two tires to replace instead of four and they’re sometimes cheaper going through tolls. :) I’m really happy with the size of mine. I could’ve worked with a 6x10 too.
Nice cargo. I am converting ours right now
Hey Terry, the moment you said.."Hi, my name is Terry, and I'm a disabled veteran." I had to subscribe. My Dad was Terry and a disabled Vietnam veteran. Thank you for your service! And also because I redo trailers and campers. And I love camping/visiting Michigan. Smart thinking on your projects. You are not old! You are wise and well seasoned. God bless!
Cheers Fellow Michigander!! Lapeer here. Thank you for your service, Sir!! I'm converting a 8.5x20 Car Hauler. Kitchen and Bath in the front, Sleeping and chock for Street Cruiser Motorcycle in the back. Wife and I just finish installing 75% of Knotty Cedar ceiling tonight. Hopefully we'll finish it up tomorrow! We have been camping in ours as we build it out. So I can totally relate to your "build as you use it" situation! Our's has been a work in progress, for sure. The CTC community is so awesome!! Every build can be specific to each persons needs! I have a 5 gallon plastic jerry-can and hose you are welcome to if you're ever up this way! We used it as our Greywater until I installed a tank underneath. There are some great CTC groups on fakebook if you are ever looking for ideas! Nice Trailer!! CHEERS!! Be safe, see ya on the road!
Wish you were here to help this disabled (bone cancer) old woman with just a simple build.
Well done! I certainly enjoyed your video. Lots of good ideas !
I like the setup. What is the MPG with the Ridgeline and cargo camper? I have a 23 Ridgeline and just curious as to what you are getting.
Honestly I can’t recall. I think I get 14 towing and 21 not towing. I tow between 60 and 70 mph, usually 65. Not towing I run 75 mph.
I also have a 2020 Ridgeline and tow a similar sized trailer, 17.8 miles per gallon. Without the trailer 22.4 mpg.
I had to like and subscribe just because of your communication style. Why did you get rid of the diesel heater?
We didn’t get rid of it. I just took it out. I almost exclusively use my trailer to escape nasty Michigan winter weather. We go to Alabama or Mississippi a lot between November to May. We stay at COE campgrounds where we plug in and use electric heat. I run a Wave 3 propane heater while driving between campgrounds, but only when it’s below 55 or so. We never use the propane while we’re inside. The diesel heater worked great if I was going to be in below freezing temperatures a lot. But I’d need more experience using it effectively. I’m thinking of ideas what to do with it now. I’m thinking of installing it in a container to sit outside with a hose blowing heat up through the floor.
Umbrella is good idea
My trailer has 12" extra height. I had a 180 awning but couldn't reach it without a ladder. Umbrella works perfect. Takes only seconds to setup.
How did you hang the cabinets?
Screwed them to the wall studs.

Very nice build
I have a 6 x 12 cargo. Question: did you screw the etracks into the steel frame or just the particle board sides? I like the simple style, same here.
Factory installed. They're screwed into the frame.
Nice job. Looks like it has everything you need. I like the John and Yoko pictures! We have been working on ours for over 3 years and love it. Enjoy!!
Awesome setup, would be perfect for camping 🏕
Watched your video, went to go subscribe... and... I was already subscribed! Haha. I think you should upload more often. :D
I had no idea a minivan could pull a trailer like that - what' s the vehicle tow rating and what's the loaded weight of the trailer ? thanks.
Love this setup and am interested in doing something similar. Are you happy with ProLine? Do you know the weight of your trailer? Does it have brakes? Does your Pacifica have anything special installed to help with towing? How well does it tow through mountains? Sorry for all the questions but I haven't found too many people talking about towing a trailer of this size with a minivan which is what I'm wanting to do as well. But I'm a little worried about the toll it might take on my van.
It towed well but my trailer is very light and I had electrical brakes installed. A couple weeks ago I traded the Pacifica for a Honda Ridgeline. I don't notice much difference.
How much do you have into the trailer with the rv door ?
Great job
May I know where can i got the bed
Sorry I don't remember
Nice setup. I'm planning on doing something similar with my Pontiac Montana, with just a single bed. If you turn your phone sideways, you'll get a wide picture, so you can just point rather than whip the camera back and forth, which really is hard on the eyes. You might run your battery down running the fridge from the car. Your Jackery has pass-through charging, so you can have it plugged in at the back and have your fridge plugged into the 12 V (cigarette lighter) plug on it. That way, when you turn the car off, your fridge will keep on running. That frees up your front plug for a USB plug for your phone to use Google maps. I'd get lost without it if I didn't save maps at home for trips. I don't use data unless I'm desperately lost. :) Jon in rural BC, Canada
Thanks much for the video. Did you use a double bed mattress? TIA
Nice trailer, I got mine last Nov. Rayn from pro line will hook you up.
Do a video of your van towing it would like to see how it does. What kind of mileage you get.

We both have pee bottles. We do have the sink and ability to cleanup. I'm working on a shower stall idea in my head. We have a bucket toilet for emergency (unused). Basically we always park with bathroom access. We go to COE campgrounds a lot, rest areas along the path, or Planet Fitness. We use PF for showers when we are wandering and not wanting to sit still at a campground. We've never gone two days without a shower.
@@TerryMoore420 Good To Go & Good To Know!!! Still You Be Safe & Live& Prosper Long 👍😃👍🖖!!!
Love it, I just bought a 2019 Pacifica to pull my WeeRoll cargo trailer 10’x6’ love seeing how you are using yours. How much does your MPG drop by towing the trailer???
It drops about 10mpg. I had a foot of extra height when I ordered the trailer. I looked at WeeRoll but they're wait was too long at the time. I love their trailers.
I drive 62 mph and get 17 mpg
Sweet build! Go Sabres! 😁😎🇺🇲🍻
I’m confused did you do the entire build?
I didn't do anything major myself. Most of the important stuff was ordered from the factory. I got cheap cabinets from Menards and screwed them to the frame. That was the only "build" I think.
How does that vehicle tow that trailer?. What kind mpg are you getting?
I drive 62 and get about 17 mpg
I love the concept of your trailer! Could i ask if that hatch of the AC is 24" x 24"? I looked at the company's website and that seemed to be the size? Also, how did you mount the drawer slides? Sorry for all the questions, it is a great solution to an issue I have been researching:)
Correct. It was an old desk drawer and I installed it to open backwards. The hatch functions like an awning for the AC
Kool little camper build you have everything you need. One question,did you insulate before putting on the press board and if so what type insulation. Thanks and good luck
Factory insulated.
You do not really need much. I would paint the walls and floor asap to get ride of the wood smell.
I don't really have a wood smell. The problem is I can't decide what I want to do yet to the walls and floor. I need to paint first with that kiltz stuff, whatever that is, according to a handyman friend of mine.
How many days or weeks do you spend living in this camper?
We spent 6 weeks in Arizona last winter. We usually go a couple weeks at a time.
You don’t want come to SW Mississippi now … this summer has been so hot 🥵 104 now … I wish we stayed in the mountains as we were the first part of spring/summer but we came back home july 1 ‘23
I'm hoping to spend time there in January and February to escape Michigan severe weather. It's beautiful here in the summer. But I never would plan to be there in the summer. The humidity in the summer around the gulf is equally as uncomfortable as winter storms in Michigan.
@@TerryMoore420 come on down there’s a towards the west us called Clear Springs off hwy 84 that has camp sites elec and water only … I think $13/ night with senior rate also to the east us at lake Mary Crawford .. we are about 2-3 hours from the gulf coast Other areas around too
