6X12 V-Nose Cargo Trailer Conversion for 4
Просмотров 94 тыс.6 лет назад
This is a small and simple cargo trailer conversion for a family of 4. I have not done anything like this before and I learned a ton! Most everything I learned was from tnttt.com Please let me know if you would like video details of certain elements of the build. I know some of the video gets dark and the AC takes over on the audio. I apologize. There is a gap in the build videos, I am working ...

Put battery in box, weld metal box to frame. Or put a metal box on each side above wheels. Tools and such. Great storage

*Solid, **Fastly.Cool** and gets the job done. For rooms where window-mounted air conditioning is not an option, this works very well. Easy set up, rapid cooling, and great design.*
Thank you!
Nice Job!
I like the doors opening up.
Nice but can u show how the lock work on the bed
I made a video on how to move the bed up and down. This is the link ruclips.net/video/sOjjxNZNIr4/видео.html is that what you mean by lock?
Really nice build the up and down bed ideas hard to pull off in a trailer but you did a great job on that also.
Another good thing is you can remove the whole bed if kids aren’t going. Great idea.
Perfect
Perfect
I just bought a 6x12 trailer that looks almost exactly like yours, including the V-nose and metal on front. The only difference is mine has barn doors on the back. I'm getting ideas.
I'm so excited for you! Lots of options for barn doors too. You probably have designs in mind off of your must haves. The greatest thing of a build is that it is personal. Stick to what you want and go with it!
@@donplata2813 Thanks Don. I am going to start out simply by loading it with my existing camping equipment, and go from there. I have lots of good gear that I can use without even starting the conversion, such as a cot, a 12V freezer, gas stoves and much more. All that equipment had been stuffed into my minivan before. Now I will be able to stretch out a lot. I'm excited too! The biggest freedom is being able to keep all my gear in the trailer and just hook up to go camping. Before, I had to load everything into my empty minivan, and removing it all when I returned home. I'll be camping within the next couple of weeks!
@@hargieboo that's perfect! That way you enjoy it right away and build as needed!
Merry Christmas. I'm currently building a very similar bed design in my 6x12. Would very much appreciate information on your dinette table that I assume folds down, rests level with the two benches and forms the middle section of the lower bed? Can you send details on purchasing the table please?
We used the same brand base as this. www.amazon.com/dp/B07X3W7HM6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_H6l6Fb26YJVKA . The adjustable feet couldn't take the weight of the 30x60 table. We took the adjustable feet off and planed down a 2x2 to the thickness we needed for each leg. The mechanism worked great, however required two people to put up and down since the table top was so heavy. This was the table top we used. www.amazon.com/dp/B0049FSDL0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_ccm6FbD4EFWFS?psc=1 It was thick. So perhaps a thinner table top or two tables together would be lighter. Let me know what other questions you have. Merry Christmas!
@@donplata2813 Wow, great help, thanks!
are you using romex cable?
Yes 12 gauge for branches and 10 gauge for the 30 amp RV input
Did You Ever have this trailer Weighed? Curious on what it weighs . And what is the tow vehicle?
2460 fully loaded with gear. Santa Fe 6 cylinder tow rating 5k#
@@donplata2813 Thanks !
Very very cool setup... Awesome
Do you mind me asking how tall you are? I’m 6’ and wondering if 69” is enough to sleep comfortably. I obviously don’t sleep perfectly straight.
I am 5'7". My toes and head touch laying straight out. If you use the last two feet that I used for storage as part of the bed it would be a standard queen size bed.
Don Plata Cool. Thanks!
The banjo music is really annoying. pete.
Nice! But can it be done by one person? I need something I can raise lower myself.
I have done it by myself. I just have to move to each corner on at a time.
Thanks for the tour ..
What size AC are you putting on your conversion trailer?
Brisk Air II 13500 BTU
Great trailer. What is the total weight of it?
2430 pounds with all gear inside also
Love your design! That what's great about a cargo trailer, it's you own personal blueprint to do whatever you want? We did one too! Took 12 trips this summer. 400 watt of solar in ours, runs everything! Saved a lot on hotel fees..Check it out...ruclips.net/video/7X504bgRMKU/видео.html
Nice elevator bed idea.
You incorporate the best aspects of simple, light and practical construction to create a very ergonomic, comfortable and welcoming travel cabin with a light and airy atmosphere. Your bicycle garage secures against theft, vandalism and weather whilst being fully accessible yet completely unobtrusive. Your excellent bed systems makes the most use of space whilst simultaneously taking up the least amount of it, something rarely achieved! Your storage lockers, cabinets, drawers and under counter space will contain all you'd ever need to bring on a trip. Your high standards of workmanship on a good quality cargo trailer gives you a custom built travel cabin of superb value and of higher quality than most RV and travel trailers on the market, ensuring your family many years of happy trips and unforgettable memories! You've created an elegantly simple and simply elegant travel cabin which is absolutely lovely. Subscribed.
Wow! You are so kind! Thank you!
I'd really like to know how the bunk beds go up and down.
I finally got the video up. It's short but I think provides the info you may be looking for. ruclips.net/video/sOjjxNZNIr4/видео.html
You really did a great job on the trailer.
What do you pull it with? Nice build. Thought of putting a hitch on the back for a bike rack & free up the space your using for something else?
Cute ideas....really liking the e-track idea!.....lol
Like your build the bed set up is King ENJOY!
Oh my goodness the lifting bed Idea was SO SMART.
Thanks!
Enjoyin* your work. Thanks for sharing.
Are you using solid or stranded 110volt wire?
Solid.
Really nice .
👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😎
Why not just spend a little extra effort to make it look nice inside? It's very depressing I guess you live outdoors mostly. Sorry for the sour note, but why not just try a tinsy bit? It's not very homey except for the kitchen top. Otherwise, it's like just sheets and empty frames.
Depressing? Its made to be efficient with 2 little kids, thats 4 in the small trailer. It does seem cozy too. The carbon monoxide Alarm does need to be put lower, for a true reading. Just put curtains across sink area or short accordian style closet doors. They slide. Very nice conversion.
How do you adjust bed height?
Something I see here most vids don't have ....efficiency! Nice job! How do you keep upper storage from opening when on road? Since they swing up?
Sorry, I missed your comment somehow. We used magnetic child cabinet locks. We released the catch with the magnet once we set up camp. Something like this:. www.amazon.com/dp/B07B47PDB4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_EEOqFbMK7DPKN
*Installed this AC as a second one up in the bedroom on a 5th wheel camper.>>>**nub.best/yis6** Definitely does the job. In fact at times, we shut off the main AC and let this unit cool the whole camper.*
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Can't hear you. Wasted my time and yours.
Put the smoke detector 12" down on the sidewall. It'll be fully functional and the toaster won't set it off. Happy trails.
Fantastic idea! Gonna give it a try, thanks!
Some great ideas for my build here, love it.
i guess it's quite off topic but does anybody know a good website to stream new movies online ?
@Luciano Case lately I have been using Flixzone. Just google for it =)
how does the awning hold up in the wind?
It does well. We have had it in standard wind of 15mph. With gusts in the 20s it has not budged. We have not had it up in any winds higher than that.
Very nice job. I have not seen a 2 spicket setup like yours before, interesting idea. You have done really nice cabinet work
no sound
A+ to all the upgrades an what you have done. I Especially like the bike rack! lol I will be doing that to ours soon!
Nice! some really good ideas!
Very nice job. Any issue with supporting the beds on the walls?
The beds have worked fantastic! Even with a youngster pouncing around no problems.
Great job, gave me some awesome tips and I'm totally going to rethink my design for my 7x14 conversion, thank you!
So glad it was helpful! Good luck on your conversion! It is fun and even better when it works out and the family loves it!
Thanks for the video, it’s about the neatest set up I’ve seen on a such a small trailer, I have questions on how you adjust the two bed up and down ?
