Hey Frank. I’ve built my own home, a 50’ geodesic dome all by myself. I did all the framing, plumping, electrical, etc. But I must say, I learned a lot from you videos while building my “Waffle Dog” food trailer from a 20’ trailer I bought at auction. Thanks again for the help.
We installed FRP in our 30ft trailer back in November, saved us over $4k over doing aluminum and looks amazing
For sure. They both do look nice tho
Hey, is the FRP still holding up?
I'm building my first one n your videos are so much help, I can do all the work I remodel homes so it's like kitchen on wheels. Thank you so much
Hey Frank, I just want to personally thank you for every video you've posted on your channel. In the like 15 years i've used RUclips this is my first comment ever and first subscription. I am a chef by trade and finally had the ability to get a food truck and I started with a 1998 chevy workhorse because i couldn't find a good trailer last year for a good price. It was bare bones and with some previous knowledge, help from my dad and your video's, I will be opening in 2-3 weeks. If you ever find yourself in Western South Dakota, swing in to "The Berm" farm to truck and anything you want is on me.
Anyone else reading this I will add that the propane lines and or fire suppression system always get them looked over by a trained professional even if you did the work yourself, because even if you saved money doing it yourself there is too much of a risk of blowing yourself and truck to kingdom come, so be smart. Also find your health department and local and state ordinances VERY early in your process as they might require much more than you think and lots of added time with paperwork. Good luck. Thanks again Frank!
Thank you for that feedback really appreciate it. And absolutely agree get it looked over for sure those gas lines are no joke. South Dakota might have to take you up on that. Thanks again and look forward to seeing your success 😁💪
Hey bro, you're awesome. Thanks for posting these videos. I'm building my own just because of you! Thanks, and I'll be posting my progress.
Love to hear that!!!! Keep it going
Hey frank , thanks for this video. This is one step that I was wondering about. I haven’t started mine here in California, but I’m doing all my homework, most of it from you . Thanks 🙏 I’m going to save at least $25 k by doing it myself.
Hello Joaquin I’m also here in California and working on my food trailer with a big help from franks vídeo . What county are u in
@@calicoasttacos4468 tulare county
Inspired by your videos. Thank you. Building piece by piece.
Appreciate that feedback 😁😁
Just getting ready to buy our wall panels now! Thank you!
Wow me too
Hey frank yes you are right right now price is super expensive on stainless I bought 4 pieces
So I’ll just put those on the cooking area and
The FRP for the rest of the inside.
Thanks for this video
Or also white aluminum is not a bad option.
I sent you a comment on your other video where your installing stainless steel, disregard. I found this video. It's answered my questions. Thx
Great video, thank you for putting this info out. You are making my build streamline.
Thanks for the video. Btw in case you’re not aware, FRP‘s going up in price. It’s $77 at Menards. And $70 at Home Depot. doubled in price over the last month. But still cheaper than stainless.
FRP is $70 online. But i found it at the Home Depot store today for $27. So I bought 10 sheets.
Crazy!!! Who would of thought
Hola buenas noches
Hace poco encontre sus videos y estan geniales son de Gran bendicion para todos .lo unico es que no encuentro muchos en español 😬Dios le siga Bendiciendo siempre 😃
Los de español vienen ya muy pronto
@@fbaltierrez gracias
thank for sharing im taking notes
Love it!!! 💪
You should have made a card board template for the roof section then sketch it out on the frp, it will make a perfect smooth line for you.
Definitely!!! Great idea.
Do you put insulation or foam board in your walls and ceiling ? Great videos! Building my first food truck. Your time in making these videos is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Insulation only in ceiling for me, if you can put in walls definitely helps. Just used unfaced pink panther
Excellent job, thank you so much for your recommendation.
Thanks Frank!
Bro!! yoyr videos are inspiring.. im trying to mimmic all your work. quick question, when you do the walls, prior yto the frp, or stainless steel, do you do plywood? i see plywood in this video, i am.just not sure if that is how yoyr trailer came.
Appreciate the feedback. Yes and yes. Trailer came with plywood but if it didn't I would of added plywood
@fbaltierrez thank you so much for responding. one last question, mine did not come with plywood, but it came with thin sheets of wood for the walls. is it necessary that I remove it and add plywood? do you recommend insulation?
Frank hi my name is luis from madera ca ..im a union welder that makes a decent amount of money every year but with construction that also means Im never home..and thats something no money is worth i love to cook and went to culinary school 10 years ago and cooked in a kitchen for 3 years I miss cooking and more I watch your videos I get inspired ...you Dont know me but we will meet one day brotha...this will be my last year in construction and before this xmas i will have built my food trailer done or close to it... and your to thank for some of that ...did your income change or get any better after being a electrician ?
Being an electrician for a long time every year it gets better and better still have to climb ladders, drill holes, cut drywall but what else can I do sit at home and watch TV all day not thanks. The food truck has been a great opportunity to take my daughter and teach her to work
In one of your videos you said No it to use FRP on walls, then another video your showing putting it in. Did you just mean behind/ vent / where heat equipment will be? Or have you changed your mind and found something better. What do you think of ATP?
I dislike frp was not used friendly, bubbled a lot where you put Screws in. Cheaper yes but I would rather use white aluminum
Frank, I love your videos man! So grateful for the information you share with us!! I would be lost without your knowledge!! Quick question! Can I use galvanized steel behind the cooking equipment, instead of stainless steel?
That is a great question. The best suggestion would be to ask your HD
@@fbaltierrez thank you frank! I will be bugging you alot during my build! I did hear you mention the one on one through your email! Looking forward to learning alot from you! And I will gladly pay you what I can as I go on trying to build a future for my family! Appreciate you!!!
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. Quick question, where did you purchase your trailer ?
This one from mayes trailer in Indiana. But typically on Facebook Marketplace if you can find a good one has been the best
Nic work bro
Your videos have been helping out big time! 1 question Frank, Can we have an extension cord in a food trailer?
They do not allow exposed extension cords besides the ones that come with your equipment per my knowledge
Can I use 2 sheets of 4x8 stainless steel for the cooking area or do I need to use several smaller sheets? my trailer is 8.5x18 all flat and no curves at corners, Thank you very much for the videos.
A stainless steel 4x 8 cost about $240 now in Puerto Rico
Nice it went down in price 👍👍
Hey Frank, just came across your videos while doing some research on how to get mine ready to go. I live in Lombard which isn't far from you in Downers Grove, I was wondering if you happen to work on other people's trailers,. I'm looking for someone to do the work on my trailer as I personally don't have the space or tools to do the work. Thanks!!
Hey bro do you remember what temperatures were like when you installed the FRP?
I personally was not a fan of FRP. White aluminum definitely the way to go but it was summer time 80s
@@fbaltierrez was it not durable enough?
Hi Frank. It says that it covers 50 square feet per gallon. if that's the cae it ould take 13 gallons to do a 7x 14 foot trailer. is that the case about 50 square feet per gallon?
hey frank, could you guide me on how much does a fire extinguisher and bell system cost? Thanks
I think right now they are in the mid 3,000 when I installed mine 2 years ago they were 2500
Good morning Frank. I was just looking through your supply list and I don't see the water heater. Did I miss it? Could you tell me what you used and the approximate cost? We brought home our empty trailer this weekend and are ready to get started. Thanks.
Usually I would say Amazon but they are unavailable. Try here. www.campingworld.com/excel-vent-free-tankless-propane-water-heater-low-pressure-startup-1.6gpm-105040.html
Hey Frank, do you build food trucks for Washington state?
Frank buenas oye una pregunta a esta traila solo pusiste stainless steel en donde va el area de cocina y lo de mas de las paredes tienen lamina en color blanco?
te agradeceria un resumen en español si tubieran una chance frank te agradezco de antemano y admiro muy buen trabajo que hiciste
Disculpa que cursor del aluminio blanco debe de ser
So you just insulat the roof on the inside not the walls?
Correct. You will never have an ideal temperature once you have the cooking equipment on.
Hello frank.. frp is aluminum or fiber plastic? Just to clarify.
Thank you frank
Frp is plastic. But would recommend you go with white aluminum metal if you can.
installing FRP both screws and glue?
Both definitely
Adonde puedo conseguir una bentana para mi traila de 12 pies de largo
Jr Aluminum
Como se llaman las ojas blancas ? Que pone en la pared ?
Yo recomiendo white aluminum
Good morning frank . Im in Florida building 7x14 food trailer I need your help for electric layouts. Thank you brother
Can I get away with a smaller hood system for a flat top and deep fryer?
Yes they make different sizes in length I believe
Hi Frank, can I please get a copy / sample of your itemized spreadsheet on the build . Thanks
U ROCKK FRANK
Appreciate that!!!!!
Hello I’m from grand rapids Michigan
Can you tell me what’s your hood fan and where you buy? Thanks
@@luislara981 hoodmart for sure
that’s the only issue i’m having with youtube… You can’t teach someone how to build a Food trailer in a 10 minute video smh then some of us don’t even know the name of the tools used so yeah I need to find a advanced video for dummies lol this is for people that already know how to do this stuff
Qué medida de la aluminio blanco debe de ser
Hola saludos frank que material puedo usar para el techo de mi trailer??
White aluminum definitely
También puedo usar FRP?
@@carlosgracia7571 no me gusta el FRP. no lo recomiemdo si puedes
Ni para las paredes?
El precio del white aluminum is to high
Buenas noches , no pones insolación en las paredes?
No en las Paredes no
Hi Frank. It's me the pest again. Are these pieces thick enough that they don't need a backer board like plywood on the ceiling? Did you put these on the ceiling just the wat they are?
No I added a thin 1/4 board up top for support and glued and screwed it together. Not the easiest part of the build but doable
Thanks Frank for the quick response. I've seen a lot of videos but yours are the easiest to follow and understand.
What size or type of wood did you use before the frp? Underlayment or plywood? Thank you
Whatever was factory installed. I believe it's 3/8 plywood
@@fbaltierrez we have a vintage camper we are remodeling. When I bought it, the previous owner tore it down to just the studs. So there’s nothing up for inner walls; what would you recommend?
I'm in Minneapolis Minnesota can you build my truck for me
Is the ceiling material different from the side pieces ?
All the same frp except the stainless steel pieces
How man panels did you buy for 7 by 16 trailer?
Good question I think it was 10
Where did you purchase your white smooth plastic panels for your trailer wall?
I would recommend against them on ceilings if you can. Look for white aluminum sheets. 1000 times better for ceilings but these from Menards special order
@@fbaltierrez okay, what’s the exact name of the product?
@@Nyang677 Nudo® Fiberlite® 4' x 10' White Smooth FRP Wall Panel
Model Number: SMOOTH_FRP_.090_WHITE_4X10 Menards ® SKU: 5072870
16 minute video and you talked for 15 minutes. How about more showing the work 👀
👍
How much to build me a truck lol
Good afternoon, currently at the time I'm not doing anymore build but I would happy to consult with you if you needed that.
Hey Frank thanks a bunch for the videos im am really learning alot. Can you by chance drop your email again? I have a few questions that i need one on one advice please and thank you!
