My Cargo trailer camper was stolen earlier this year right out of my yard. Had all my camping stuff in it some of which I had since I was a kid. Major set back but plan to buy another early next year (Coming up in a couple of days!) My sons and I raced motocross and camped in it and wife and I traveled all over now that I've retired. Next one will have Lojak or something just it case.
Dang! That’s a huge punch to the gut. I wonder if something like an AirTag would’ve helped track it. In the short term.
@@OffGridAdventure - That or an old phone so you don't have to worry about the tag battery failing at the wrong time.
just curious, did you have a wheel lock or lock on the hitch to deter people?
A motion sensor alarm would have scared them off.Plus there is a new tongue lock out now
The thing I think is the most genius about this is that it's the perfect amount of simple. I see lots of people take those cargo trailers and make them into more like an RV. But especially the way that you made the bed with those motorcycle tie downs is genius. Thanks for showing us this really awesome cargo trailer
Wow, what a brilliant build!! Perfect!! Bruce and Otis
He did good with this project.
The modular bed is amazing. Single person. Multi person. Plenty of space as a garage or for gear.
If I ever do a conversion I’d get a metal tool box with the drawers. I’d maybe want another window on the other side. Then of course shore power with an RV converter and an Air conditioner. Then add a cooking station outside with a mounted propane on the tongue.
And a poop bucket for emergencies.
That has got to be one of the cleanest cargo trailer adaptations I've ever seen that still retains it's normal function. Makes me wish I'd kept my 17' cargo trailer. Since I used it for motorcycle adventure trips, I made the dual beds that folded off the wall with the bikes out. For two men sleeping. Then I put in a kitchen and bathroom in the front V nose. I made a fold down table and just used fold up church chairs. I used a Buddy Heater, but that was before the diesel heaters became affordable.
If you get an old garage roll up door lift, you could build a bed lift system with a cheap 2000 lb 12 volt winch. The garage lift won't need the tension spings, just the brackets, cross tubes, and pully wheels. Mount the winch to the floor and run the cable to the door pully to raise and lower the big bed. A coule of pulleys to the corners of the bed and you're golden.
Perfect,,,,,,strong,,,,,more durable than Winnebago fiberglass ,,,for outdoor needs.....thank U,,,great stuff...
Tons of good ideas for the build. Love the adjustable bed design and definitely will be incorporating that.
Simple and functional!
Well done!!
Don't worry we won't ask how much it all costs.. though between us without the Wife knowing, how much did it all cost ? Lol. Excellent job brother. Love it, especially the beds that move around and the fact the whole family can squeeze in . Another thing you being able to stay out for up to 2 weeks at a time is unheard of. That's frickin Awesome.. The boys are going to love it, year after year. God Bless, Stay Safe Stay Positive and Healthy.
Peace from Big Jim New Hampshire USA aka Boston Strong
Awesome build. Get your sons out there. They grow up so fast.
Co2 detector should be installed low close to the floor. It is heavier than air so any escaped Co2 will accumulate on the ground level.
Wrong. 5 ft off the floor is the recommended height for a CO2 detector. It is a propane detector that should be mounted within a few inches of the floor.
14 or 16ft would make it more practical.16 would give you a control and tool room then ramp door becomes a patio deck.
Hey, very nice job!! Really well organized. I like to go off grid. Lived off grid on my sailboat, spearing fish and Scuba, all through Caribbean and South and Central America. Could go fully independent for 6 months with no outside assistance.
Now in an older diesel motorhome. Want to convert to similar system with lithium. Maybe 300 AH. For full time plus solar. On the boat had solar and wind. The new modern components like the battery and electric manager/ controller is really nice. Now my interests not so much hunting as photography and Astronomy. Have a professional telescope and love the big sky country out west. Love your diesel heater too. Like the way you did it.
I have a propane heater but it really sucks the fuel. A gallon for all night in extreme weather sounds good to me we carry 110 gal of diesel. Going to self composting toilet to get away from black water issues.
Yes, keep you rig as incognito as possible don’t attract attention! Happy hunting!
Thanks for sharing your experience! He put together an excellent trailer, and has started a RUclips channel to share his experience. @pursuitofprey
Amazing setup buddy!!!
I really love the tactical bed idea and I love how open it is and multifunctional.
The only thing I would add is:
2x -4x the power
Ultra-efficient AC
And a shower
.... i may have gotten lost in real life and missed the premiere, but I'm here now! I thought about investing in a trailer (back in summer 2021) but couldn't figure out how to set it up right... I guess I have a solution here! I definitely appreciate the bit about keeping the outside looking plain to avoid curious folk.
You can't ever be too careful. I just had a.... conversation... about that with my dad this week. He wanted me to put my bike away. I claimed it was safe enough up next to the house and cars. He let me make my own decision after explaining the dangers, and I begrudgingly put it away that night. I'm still pretty sure it wouldn't have been stolen, and he's very relieved that I put it away, but I'm glad my dad cares. :) And I'm glad other folks are more careful than my instincts suggest I be.
And yoooo - that description is POETRY!! In the best way!! I love that!
Sometimes it’s best to set conditions to keep honest people on the right path. You never know, a kid could walk by and borrow the bike temporarily, but leave it on the side of the road somewhere that you’ll never find it. Hiding in plain sight is another excellent way to prevent unwanted attention. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts. I hope you weren’t lost for too long.
@@OffGridAdventure after not recognizing my surroundings for 20 mins i called my dad. XD turns out i went north instead of south! I learned more about my town, so that's good 😊
5:40 - Multiple o2 detectors are a good call. I would hate to wake up dead.
It’s the worst way to wake up for sure.
@OffGridAdventure
I could be wrong, but I seriously think those detectors are supposed to be lower. I've read that CO2 is heavier than air. Please be sure about placement 👍
@@papoochacoo Wrong. You are thinking of propane, not CO2.
Excellent!
Nice!
Awesome Job on the trailer. Can I ask what size your trailer is. Thanks
Your's is the best build I have seen. Others are very nice but too heavy and over kill on all the finish work. I live in Utah and run all over the state hauling 1 or 2 motorcycles. All I need is to be able to roll the bike out at my destination and fold down a bunk to sleep on. You have given me a great plan of attack for what I need. Thanks.
Very cool 😎👍🏻
Very cool rig ❤
He put together the perfect camping trailer!
Looks great
Nice rig👍👍
What Size is that?
Man, this is perfect. I’m in the process of gutting mine out after spending last deer season being cold. Worked perfect except for needing insulation. My decision is whether to have someone spray foam it, which is really expensive, or go buy some foam board Insulation and do it myself. Which direction did you go as far as insulating the walls & ceiling and are you happy with it? Thank you in advance for any suggestions and really appreciate the video!
This is the best build that i have seen, I need to take notes! I am huge steelhead fisherman so this would be perfect for me. Great video brother 👍
Very nice. A conversion that is a conversion and not a mini home. 👍
I love this trailer! I might be looking into building me a rig like this depending on what happens with my trailer & insurance? great video
What size trailer is that? 6x12 or 7x12?
You did a great job. We are also on the East coast and have a cargo trailer conversion. It's our first time heading across the country in a few weeks. Rick will not be putting an elk in our camper though - no way! Stay safe.
Nice build simple yet functional. What did you use to cover the underneath of trailer? I'm building an 18 X 8.5 X 6.5 Diamond CT strictly for camping. Had an RV but the rear wall rotted off went back to camping in a Springbar 10 X 14 canvas tent. It was getting to much for me and the wife to set camp up and take down so I built the CTC. Building it the way I want it built.
Nice set up, with your shore power you could add a small computer monitor for playing games and movies for the kiddos on your trips.
I love this video. I keep coming back and watching it because I am going to do something similar and I love the simple minimalism and size of the trailer. I am going to buy a new 7x14 tandem axle and do something similar.
Great build.
The only thing I would change is a smoke detector up high a carbon dioxide monitor down low
@bentbars9366, agreed. Especially about the detector down low! 👍
@@papoochacoo No! CO2 detector is not supposed to be installed low. That is a propane detector.
Inspiration
Do you feel that dual axles are worth it? Does it add much weight?
1 and 3 year olds (now 2 and 4 I guess) What a great age
Check out his channel @PursuitofPrey
How much does it weigh and what did you insulate it with?
I’m new to the camp life . The most important thing to me is being able to stealth camp. Can u do that w this?
I have a 7x 14 and pull it fine with a 2022 Nissan Pro4X
I have the same size and purchased steel trailer roof racks to hold an awning and pvc pipes that can be filled with water and then solar heated for gravity fed showers.
God will protect you on your journey 8:17
Tactical Wildlife Assault Trailer (T.W.A.T.) --> like that's not derogatory LOL...
I'm bout to get a 7*10 myself
Do you ever come through the Medora ND area? If you do, I would like to check out the camper up close.
How do you keep your diesel from gelling in those low temps?
I put anti gel in my diesel heater tank. In the Adirondacks of ny it stays pretty cold and haven’t had it gel yet
What smaller truck are you looking to downgrade to pull the trailer camper?
That's not your face! 😆
I should be home to watch the live premiere! :D
It’s another guy I know. Highlighting other people’s stories is my favorite type of content. This and camping videos.
@@OffGridAdventure ooooh let's goooooo i love the storytelling videos :D
Excited to watch it!
You call it WHAT!? 🤣🤣🤣
Carbon monoxide settles…best to mount those low near the floor
Carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air and diffuses evenly throughout the room.
No. That is a propane detector. You are about the fifth person commenting here to give this wrong information.
What size is your enclosed trailer?
What size trailer is this?
🔥
Great no non sense setup. I use cotton painters cloth and screen on several expansion bar across the back when the aft cargo door is open.
Seems like it would be easier to move
Get u a ford edge w a Natural Aspirated 3.5l v6. Or 2.0 4cl turbo.
Dude you’re calling your trailer a TWAT.
Nice build for your application though.
Great job. But, if you want to spend more time with your kids, just take the whole family, i guess your married and your partner can play or watch the kids play outdoors while your out. I just can't see you hunting in 24 hr intervals.
Mind your own business
@Nomaswearefull DON'T put it in the public domain if your that fragile! LOL
Wife needs a break from him and kids. He needs a break from civilization
Got doggit that background music is SO DISTRACTING AND HORRIBLE but I watched it anyway because I'm wanting to do a build very similar to this. Why do y'all youtubers feel the need to put terrible background music into your otherwise good videos?
I’m sorry, I can’t read this comment while rocking out to this music.
Kind of funny. I never notice the rock music. If it were rap music I would have shut the volume off.
Why is your tag number top secret? Thousands of people see the tag every day on the road.
You have a issue
I beg zero out of those thousands know remember it.
"Got some of the wood from homes being built in the area" - so you stole the wood from a construction site - good to know.
FYI : construction sites have scrap wood piles that are destined to go in a dumpster and then the landfill. So just ask to see if you can recycle the wood from the trash wood pile.
This guy is so cool
