    Finally a simple and practical, yet inviting and comfortable layout and design for a cargo trailer conversion. Excellent work.

    Really nice layout, and your finishing is great. It looks like a modern apartment, very sleek and simple, yet comfy, with everything you need to be comfortable while camping!

    Very sweet home! IKEA has nice curtain tracks easy to install and ready made blackout curtains you can hem to size. Use the large drapery hooks for easy attachment to tracks. Super easy to install. Looks very finished.

    Really nice layout! You guys did a great job! I am thinking about doing the same thing with a 6x12. I don’t think any other layout would work. Anyway, I subscribed, good video! 🙏

    Can you share how you attached the shower to the floor and wall of the cargo trailer please? And how do you manage gray water from the drain? Nice work. Looks great!

      We built a frame around it, just like you would a wall in a home, only we used 2x2s for lighter weight. Once the frame was in place we slid the shower into place and attached it to the studs. Then we trimmed it out. Very simple process. Cargo trailers are pretty low to the ground so it's difficult to catch water. You could put a tote of some sort underneath to catch your gray water if you're somewhere that requires it. When we stay at campgrounds with bath houses we just use the bathhouse. Otherwise if we are boondocking we use eco-friendly soaps and just let it drain onto the ground. We use a cassette toilet so we dispose of black water at appropriate locations. I hope this adequately answers your questions!

    It really looks nice, to get the peel and stick to not move you need to get the flooring glue and a notched trowel. I recommend a inexpensive hand roller, it really gets the flooring to adhere better.
    I have the same blue etti, make sure you keep your PO number!!! I got mine less than 8 months ago for emergency power outage and for my trailer conversion, i pulled it out of the box a couple of weeks ago and found out it won't charge and doesn't put out more than a hundred watts. It was charged when i bought it, and all the plugs worked so i never tried charging it because i figured it had a charge so why drain it to charge it???
    The company is slow to respond, and even though i bought from them directly the won't do anything since i only saved the warranty paper. I've looked around and read a fee comments that im not the only one with a non charging unit, or denied help getting it fixed because i didn't keep the PO number. Lot's of happy customers that love theirs, but more than a few that have there's crap out and get no help. Not that the jackery or any others are better, i wouldn't know, but i did watch reviews from bigger channels that got bad units and their free ones were replaced fast. It's why i went with them, thought they would be a good company.
    The door for the shower heater worked out great, looks like it was more of a great plan than a happy coincidence lol. One question, i've seen people that went with the round sink say they wish they wouldn't have, how do you like yours? Any problems getting dishes to fit in to wash them or anything? Thanks for the video, God bless!!

      Yeah we heard the same thing from someone else about the bluetti. So far we haven't had any issues. We don't usually wash dishes in the sink we have an outdoor sink system we use. But for just washing hands and brushing teeth it works great. It probably wouldn't be big enough for dishes.

    Looks great, I've been looking for shelving ideas for my cargo trailer/camper that are light weight, I might have to copy some of yours. :) How do you put the wood trim on the door? I have the plywood on and painted already, could I just nail it or use liquid nails? any suggestions? And how powerful is the Blue Eddy? is solar powered? I never heard of this brand before. Thank you, for the video about your Happy Place! Very helpful :)

      Yes that's how we attached the wood was with wood glue and we were a lot apprehensive about it staying but it's been fine! The Bluetooth works great! We love it. We looked on RUclips and did a lot of pros and cons with the different brands. We think in the future we will upgrade to more power storage so that's something to think about. Good luck with your camper!

    That seriously looks so light and open for a 6x12 trailer! What is the material on the walls? I like that it isn’t all wood on every surface.

    • @ourlifeoutdoors3942

      Thanks! We went with a sticky tile that we found on Amazon for the front of the camper. They have all different patterns to choose from for about 20$ for a package of ten. For the back we used the same material as the ceiling and painted it white. It is 1/4in stain ready lauan.
