FULL TOUR - Cargo Trailer to Camper Conversion
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Welcome to Ways Out Back!
Follow along for a full in depth TOUR of my 6x10 cargo trailer conversion. My goal is to build this so I can pull it anywhere my Ford Ranger can go. I wanted a trailer that could go off grid and I can use to explore the back roads. It has a 12v Fridge, 460Ah of Battery, Diesel heater, Shower, 2 Burner stove, on demand hot water, electric brakes, and lots more. I highly recommend building one of these for yourself!!

Here’s version 2.0 - ruclips.net/video/6G1-MKZaC4c/видео.html
Thanks Everyone! I never dreamed there would be so much interest in my little trailer.
I love the built, not bought passion that so many of you have!
Keep being original!
great build, I hadn't even thought about shocks, I'm borrowing that idea next spring
Great job
Besides the trailer Wanda you think you spent? Rough estimate and how is it registered and insured? As a trailer or motor home? How’s that work?
Check out Tinkers'adventure on his FJ! The solar panel would be a great replacement if your's goes out, it's a 400watt one, and then Eco's Solar review, its inside a FJ that is a Alternator charger inverter, which would be a nice addition for your trailer too. Just a thought for maybe upgrades for your trailer i think it would give you some more juice to stay out camping longer.
@@baumiscsw Roughly about 3500$
As a single woman .. I sure wish I had the talent and ability to build a trailer like this.. you’ve created an awesome build…thanks for sharing this..I’m glad it came across my feed. Happy New Year and be safe,
Thank you so very much. We made significant changes to the trailer, please let me know what you think of them in this video
ruclips.net/video/6G1-MKZaC4c/видео.htmlsi=fWtQNBxe_ctYH0ky
@@waysoutback am watching and can already see this is an outstanding upgrade!
Well today is your day gal! You can come help me and then both of us will be happy! I just got a 6x 13ft, 3ft of it is the tounge, a old Scotty camper I'm fixing to tear down and make a off road camper out of it. You xan come help me I don't mind and WEE DOGGIE and we willbe so happy! See there you woke up this morning and thought this was going to be just another Ole day and then here I come! GOD is so Amazing!!! So I will go ahead and heat the coffee water so it willbe ready when you get here. Thank you so much for being so kind for coming to help me!
One of, if not the best, most functional, comfortable home builds I've seen.
Great job!!
Thanks, appreciate that! We are really happy with the trailer, though I am right now in the process of expanding the back a bit so we can sleep length wise at the back.
Nice clean build. Looks like you've thought of everything. Thank you for the amazingly detailed tour. I hope you enjoy it for years and years to come.
Thanks! Appreciate the comment, we are really happy with it, can’t wait to put it through it’s paces. 😄👍
It's metal,condensation you will have mold you will need a dehumidifier
@@kiszmyazz1026 isn’t that the point of the fan in the roof? Draw out moisture and keep air circulating
Pretty sweet! I love a good build..recently built out my SUV and filmed a video. Thanks for the inspiration!
But it is not a nice clean build though is it. It is functional but it is not clean or professional by any stretch of the imagination.
I've come to the conclusion that a cargo trailer build is a much better route to go on a limited budget vs an old used RV camper. They just don't seem to hold up and to me would end up being an endless money and time pit. This is a great video and you've given me a great many ideas to use on my build. Thank you for showing all the intricate details and showing how everything works so efficiently. Also, I was planning on a larger trailer, but this vid has shown me how a 6 x 10 would be just fine for me. I'm in Fl, but wish to visit the northern US and Canada so the cold weather info is greatly appreciated. Thank you from Pensacola.
Glad it helped! I loved my little trailer we have put 1000s of km on that unit!
I completely agree the cargo trailer is a solid little unit that you can really work with. Also you can buy one used for a couple thousand bucks all in you can do this quite cheap. Since this one I added a bit of room on the back and sides. Here’s a link to version 2.
ruclips.net/video/6G1-MKZaC4c/видео.htmlsi=CxOUtDf0Gw50Eqd8
Very good observations! During Covid, my hubby & I stayed on our property in Coloroda by the Wyoming boarder. Everything was a chore & thank God my hubby knew what to do & how or it would have been freezing. It got down to 11 degrees & a diesel heater kept us warn however the slide-out let cold air in. I think u would be much better off financially & much more comfortable. You'd probably be better off on gas too! Best wishes! Take it easy!. 😊
Wave as you go by the southeast corner of NC. Take the Ocean Hwy instead of 95 and SC has water and electricity at every site in the state parks.
Nice build! If you want to make your windows into four season make a plexiglass insert to go inside. Did my truck camper and Class C like that. Worked GREAT and cuts down on condensation and icing!!
That is a great idea!!! I will be doing that 👌
This is easily the most well-designed and thought through camper trailer I've ever seen. Really good stuff. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much quite the compliment.
We did make some changes to the trailer u can see here
ruclips.net/video/6G1-MKZaC4c/видео.htmlsi=WwyWAyJXt4rB4FFW
Just a thought....make your “bed extender” a back cushion for the bench so you don’t have to open the exterior door to remove or put it away. Btw like your setup 👍
That’s an awesome idea!…. I’m going to take a look into that! Thanks for mentioning it. 👍
I agree about the windows, awning windows are the way to go! I love my windows open when it’s raining ☔️
100% 👌👍
I'm slightly conflicted about them, trying to blend security and stealth with practicality. As always, a fun challenge!
This looks like a great build! I live in the south, so luckily I won't need all of the freeze protection. I plan on building a 5x8 conversion, just for kitchen and bathroom. We tent camp as a family of 7, too many late night bathroom hikes for my liking. This gave me lots of good ideas! Thanks. Liked and subscribed!
Glad you can use some of the ideas…. You will be really happy building your own you can add just what you need. I’d love to live in the south and not have to worry about the cold… it will make it so much simpler. 😁
I did the leaf spring flip trick to a pop up camper a few yrs back, in case of terrain. Glad I did.
I agree! I think if your doing anything more then parks smooth roads you need to do it!
Thank you for adding the parts in the description area. I’ve followed your complete build wondering why yo didn’t do this earlier. Makes finding and using similar parts much easier. Again thank you
Mostly because I’m lazy 😂
Hope it helps
Excellent build, simple beauty and great access. This will be a great box van build guide.
Thanks….. glad it’s helpful… hope your build goes well! 👍
My only concern is the diesel supply line in the garden hose.
Fuel lines need to be grounded to dissipate static electricity at various locations to prevent fires.
I didn’t see that addressed in the video.
Overall it’s a clean budget build that seems well thought out.
Glad you’ve moved from the building stage to the enjoyment phase.
I’m still in the thinking about it need to get off my butt and do something phase.
Mine will have to be much lighter to tow behind a Corolla.
A shower will be a requirement 😉
Yeah it’s something to think about… I’d have to research it a bit more but off the top of my head I think it should be ok. The heater is grounded and the fuel pump is also grounded. I know in automotive they are switching a lot of the fuel lines to plastic so they don’t corrode…. Anyways I’ll definitely look into it a bit later. Thanks 👍
To be honest I really enjoyed the planning and building phase but I do have a few things I wish I could redo. Highly recommend doing it… for a Corolla though I’m not so sure. 🤔😁
As a fellow 6x10 owner, I really liked what you did. You did a lot more intricate work on it that I'm inclined to, but those are some great ideas. A couple of the downsides to our trailer is that it didn't come with a side door, and because I still teach scuba diving most of the trailer space is necessarily taken up with our compressor, tanks and student gear. I've got a video tour of ours on my channel. Since there's no room for us to have benches or a bed, I used the idea from Gonagin' RUclips channel to create two removable pipe berths. I was actually surprised how comfortably I slept in it...even with two of our dachshunds sharing it with me! I'd like to replace our big cooler with a 12v compressor refrigerator, but we don't yet have battery capacity to handle that (100ah hybrid gel is what we have). Eventually would like to bump up to LiFePO4.
Thanks for watching! 👍
Finally someone that thinks a shower is a "must have". Diesel heaters are expensive but worth it. Super great build!
Yeah you got it…. I know my wife is happy I have a shower 😜
I agree with the heaters…couldn’t imagine camping without one in winter.
Thanks for the comment 👍
Your ideas are Excellent for cold elements.Keep it simple.Shows how storage has extra functionality.Thanks
Thank you so much. We do love camping year round, so it was important to have something that would be comfortable in the cold. I made pretty big changes with a very important element for winter camping in this video.
ruclips.net/video/6G1-MKZaC4c/видео.htmlsi=isYtE6KMsbkm8mDd
Let me know what you think about the changes.
Best one i have seen that has a shower that i don't think i can't go without. Love it. Is going to be a video i use to do mine. Thanks for sharing.
Right on glad to hear your building one… I really think it’s the best way to go! Glad you liked the tour!
Yeah I tried the No shower thing… after a day of snowshoeing thru the bush I’m quite happy I got it. 😁👍
Thank you for sharing your designs. I really like your practical applications and approach to how you did this. Happy and safe travels.
Thanks appreciate that! It’s been a great little camper!
Great job,I built something similar/6’x12’-61/2’Tall.8’ kitchen/bath/Closet//wall//4’ carpenter tools.Pulled it with 4x4 Ford van.It was my bedroom/ nice thick comfortable foam-Down sleeping bag.My business was …Have tools will travel.Mostly worked for a company that built fast food restaurants.I kept the rig very clean/ professional, so I would not attract trouble.Again GREAT JOB-Much respect.
Sorry I must have missed your comment.
Appreciate the kind words. Really interesting setup. I love those 4x4 vans.
What a great way to save cash 👍👌
I liked how you described the practicality of each item. Very logical with every mod. Slight concern about rocks and stuff damaging your pipe and hose under the body.
Thanks appreciate that! Yeah I’m always worried about those pipes I’ve been debating building a guard like I did for the diesel heater air intake. Thanks for the input 👍
Excellent work sir, looks great! Wouldn't mind some winter camping in that little piece of home. May many great camps await! 👍
Thanks…. Yeah we are enjoying it a lot can’t wait to get away in a couple weeks 😁
@@waysoutback Great to hear, enjoy it! Dunno if I can do that well, but you've given me a sure good look at what's needed and what can be left off. It's about what's outside and who's inside that really matter! Good Speed sir!
@@koori3085 very well said… we don’t go camping to stay inside 😁
Nicely done- I'm converting a car trailer so it can be dual purpose camper or car hauler. I've found that pop-up campers with bad canvas can be had for almost nothing- so one can get the water heater, furnace, power panels, gas detectors, propane stuff, cooktop, water pumps/sink and tanks for basically free. Buy a rough looking popup for $300 and remove all the donor parts- then sell the gutted shell for $300 to someone to convert to a snowmobile/motorcycle/utility trailer. I sold one to a young lady who turned it into a mobile tea and biscuit business by just making it a portable kitchen with all the canvas removed.
That’s such an awesome idea! All the parts would be the right size for a small trailer build! I love it when ones think outside the box!
We made a few improvements since this video-
ruclips.net/video/6G1-MKZaC4c/видео.htmlsi=Bh3cmdlIUw-TelXP
Well thought out and executed design. Very efficient use of space. I never considered converting a cargo trailer into a travel trailer. Very clever idea. That has me thinking now.
Thanks!
A few years ago I was debating it also… I couldn’t find a trailer I liked so the only solution for me was to build one. Even if your slightly handy I would highly recommend it. You might like this video…. Weighs the pros and cons.
Should You Build A Cargo Trailer Camper???

@@waysoutback nice!!!
Have given me some odeas to use for my rv rebuild and add on tinyhouse build tha k you also for taking the time to do the video editing and upload as we both know takes alot of time to do lol thanks again for sharing and posting
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it. Did you see my more recent tour video? Might give u a few more ideas. Made significant changes.
ruclips.net/video/6G1-MKZaC4c/видео.htmlsi=VlYfJprUXoMa75wN
This has to be one of best little trailers that I've seen on these videos I mean you have all you need kitchen bed room and bathroom with a shower hell yes man very nice 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😁
Thank you!!!
It’s all we need 👍😄
Your table to bed conversion system makes much more sense than those wobbly pole in a hole jobs.
I made significant changes to this trailer in this video. ruclips.net/video/6G1-MKZaC4c/видео.htmlsi=yMSU9SOtwOs3fbmA
You will notice I actually changed the table. The one benefit of the poke in a hole type table is ease of sliding in to sit. One of the changes I made was no rear door, so I no longer needed a table to move and put outside.
Let me know what you think.
Thank you for sharing. There are so many details and they're well thought out.
Happy to do it! Appreciate so much you taking time to comment. We have made significant upgrades to the camper in this video. Let me know what you think.
ruclips.net/video/6G1-MKZaC4c/видео.htmlsi=L7_TNvLhJhLRQ27T
- Great jobb man, planning quite simular, but after having used the same diesel heater and comparing it with a propan heated water sirculating system like in RVs I learn that the 12c power use is soo much higher with the diesel heater and in the winter time must have an 220v ac aggregat to fill up the batteri. And the noise is much higher from the diesel heater fan than the very quiet litle sirkulation pump for the water. You have good solutions on the kitchen, bed and sofa,
I love those systems but we went with diesel because it was cheaper and used very little power. No regrets. Thanks for watching and commenting. You may want to check out the guide I wrote on converting cargo trailers to campers. Let me know how yours works out. Also u may like to watch my more recent tour video, had big changes.
I really enjoyed your video. Fantastic job on your logical and functional build.
Thank you for watching and commenting.
I made some significant changes to the build in this video, would love to know what u think of it.

What a great job! Thinking about doing a partial conversion on mine and this video is chock full of excellent ideas and solutions. Well done!
Thank you!
Here’s version 2.0 I added a wood stove 😄

We just landsd a cargo trailer and am looking for ideas!! Thanks for the tour!
Awesome. I wrote a guide on converting a cargo trailer it’s available on my website.
I’ve updated the trailer you can check it out here
ruclips.net/video/6G1-MKZaC4c/видео.htmlsi=ZDXOqQ-hSM5QX4rw
Top idea.I never even thought of this route as an option,thank's
Glad it helps a bit! I’m really happy with it!
I appreciated your very extensive video of your 6x10 cargo trailer. I am still trying to build my 6x12 and I got some helpful ideas from you. Maybe I can make some progress now. I am a senior so I guess old and slow and hardly smart enough. Thanks from Central Oklahoma.
Glad it helped a bit…. Keep at it you will feel great once it’s done and you built not bought it. You might be able to get some more information from my build videos you should find videos on each section…. Electrical, plumbing cabinets etc hope they help. You’ll do great most seniors I’ve met have forgotten more then us younger ones know. 😁
Awesome build! very well-thought. Watching your videos and waiting for my 6x12 to arrive in April... Thanks for inspiration!
Have fun designing and building! It’s a blast!
Thanks for watching 👍
The most common sense build I've seen. Well thought out.
Thanks!

Nice with the diesel heater close to the water tank. Nice job, Thanks, Bryan.
Thanks appreciate the feedback! 👍
Love this! Thanks for sharing. Safe travels.
Thank you very much. Please check out the big changes we made to the trailer in this video
ruclips.net/video/6G1-MKZaC4c/видео.htmlsi=gm4ZeeiVvI0xrxZn
Very nice, I like that you put windows in it. I have a 6×12 I'm considering making into a camper. I can see it would be a lot of work to make
I think if your a bit experienced using tools it’s actually not that bad. Depending on how complicated you go and your finishes. I’d say it’s a great winter project to be ready for camping by spring. Maybe 3 months of weekends and evenings and then your ready to roll.
Great job brother, you covered everything necessary to live nicely
I appreciate that!
solid set up, think you would enjoy a canopy and maybe a detachable wood stove since your cook top seems to super heat the trailer.
Interesting you mention that. I think you will enjoy watching this video with the changes we made to the trailer
ruclips.net/video/6G1-MKZaC4c/видео.htmlsi=h8CFSyrS2WAHMPQB
Let me know what you think.
Great, I made a cargo trailer into a camper 20 years ago. I made all the cabinets removable and reconfigurable, no need to ruin a good hauler for some of my other endeavors. Mine was a double axle which trails better and reduces the bounce , I used 3/4 Baltic birch ply with piano hinges, so the cabinets were tough and my shower was outside to keep humidity low, heat the trailer up and take the shower, so you have a nice place to dry and get dressed
You were a pioneer in cargo trailer conversions! Sounds awesome 👍
I like it. I have been debating whether or not to do something with my enclosed trailer and you have given me lots of ideas. Thanks
Glad I could help!
Here’s version 2.0 - ruclips.net/video/6G1-MKZaC4c/видео.htmlsi=oXvQoKEKIzA3cgg2
Pro-tip: black pipe is designed to be used in areas where it is not exposed to weather, which is why it's cheaper than galvanized pipe. Suggestion: pull that black pipe out and replace it with galvanized or it's gonna rust through and potentially cause an explosion at some point 🙏🏼 all the best
I’d research that a bit more. Based on my research I found it was even illegal to use galvanized pipe in some states. Especially when it comes to propane. Whereas black pipe is allowed - one reason is they feel the coating can hide pin holes and what’s mentioned in the quote below. I’ve worked on a ton of RVs and I’ve not seen any galvanized pipes so I just went with it. I’m definitely no expert though… just try to follow them.
Quote- “Galvanized pipe is NOT RECOMMENDED because slivers of zinc can come off the inside of the pipe and cause regulators and valves to malfunction. If you need to run black iron pipe for gas on the exterior of a building, it is OK to paint it to prevent rust streaks on the building.”
OMG, I love it. My goal is to have something built out so that I can live in it hopefully in BC and then haul to the states in the winter when I retire. If you ever decide to make a business doing this I will be your first customer. Happy holidays! By the way, I couldn't go without a shower every day so I know exactly how you feel. 😊☮️🇨🇦
Right on… I highly recommend building out your own. You can make it just the way you want and can control the costs. Lots of really great ideas out there on RUclips.
Yeah definitely love our inside shower! 👌👍
We are headed to the States in a couple weeks…. Chasing some sun 😄
Everything has been said, NICELY DONE!
Thanks so much. Did u see my more recent video of changes I made?

Very logical in layout. Great job on it. I wanted to build my own camper trailer but when I got my Scamp. I was under a time and location crunch relocated for job and selling house 9 hours away.
Right on I had a older fibreglass surf side trailer before we really liked it but I was worried pulling it through the bush. Happy camping!
I like most of your ideas. I wish I will make another one!
Sure why not… building is half the fun 😄
Very well thought out. Thank for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent Build! Well thought out!❤
Thank you. We love our trailer, but we did make some pretty significant changes to it in this video
ruclips.net/video/6G1-MKZaC4c/видео.htmlsi=WM3zghj-irictTTs.
Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks for sharing. It feels like a very complete build and it is a nice touch to have a shower!
Thanks a lot!
Yeah I would not build one without a shower and showering outside with the mosquitoes and black flies I really don’t Like. It’s tight but it works for us 👍
Really cool build! Hoping to do one myself in couple years. As a side note, as you kept speaking I could swear you're related Bob McKenzie (Rick Moranis) and was going to drop a 'take off, a" at some point. No insult intended, as that character is awesome! Great video!😁
😂👍
“Right On” highly recommend building your own!
Here’s the updated version- ruclips.net/video/6G1-MKZaC4c/видео.html
Extremely detailed & well explained. Great build. Inspirational.
Thank you kindly! I improved a few things in the rebuild….

Good place for the boots ! They will dry completely overnight !
You got that right!
Great build. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Nice Build! Happy Trails
Thanks! You too!
LOVE the build I will be taking notes!
Use any ideas you want.. happy to help! I know that’s how I got a lot of my ideas 👍
Good job mate.
Thanks!
I like the ideas I saw. The explanations were somewhat lengthy and wordy.
Nice job!
Thanks 👍
Nice job. Nothing fancy but the essentials are there.
Thanks!
That’s it…. Better then a tent and compact! 😄
Great build. So many things, in such a small space!
Thanks for the nice comment! We really love it!
Brilliantly thought out build! Great job!
Appreciate it! 👍
I like it! I have a 5x9. With the conical front. Haven't got my solar finished. Mine hasn't got the side door so I put a round porthole window for a boat into the back door. I can open it and lock myself in with the existing latch. Noone can lock me in as a prank. Haha. Like your design as well. Good luck, and maybe I'll see you out there.
I’ve been checking out those little portal windows for my door…. I like the idea of being able to look out. Thanks
This is an inspiration, thanks so much for sharing the technicals.
Thanks!
Glad it helps a bit 👍
Awesome build! Excellent job fitting in everything you need. Definitely going to go watch your other build videos for my trailer rehab. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you liked it and hope it helps a bit with your build… the planning and building is so much of the fun. 😁👍
Well that looks nice clean and comfortable in there it looks like you managed to get everything you need. I felt comfortable just looking at that thinking I could camp out in that too I'm surprised you got all that inside that trailer that's a excellent job who looks so comfortable and so doable
generally refers are over rated esp when you consider the cost and that they dont cool worth a crap when its ofer 60 degrees or less outside. I found they were good for beverages primarily and icecream never. Ive had micro mini rv with ac dc,propane, elect option refer.....New Class a rv refer sc,dc,propane was little difference,just bigger. Had others and the real difference was size only.
Roof AC only good for when/if you stay at full service places. Its never worth the price,maintenance problems repairs etc.
If you dont mind the excessive cost hassle,limitations,then they are better than nothing ,but no where near a home refer we are accuston to.
Thanks it is quite comfortable, we are really enjoying it. Highly recommend building one. 😄
RVing - it's very interesting in the range of campers/RVs from the minimalistic cargo trailer conversion to these self-contained motorized houses with prices into the millions...🤓
True! That’s one reason we love cargo trailers u can build it to be whatever u want.
you’ve certainly made the most of a small space. nice job.
Thanks! Yeah I was quite limited with the size of trailer my little ranger could pull. Now having it though I wouldn’t want any bigger… you wouldn’t believe the roads I can get this thing down. 😄
What a great job. Some ideas are so good 👍
Thank you! 😊
Well planned installation.
Thank you so much! You may enjoy a more recent tour with pretty big changes.
ruclips.net/video/6G1-MKZaC4c/видео.htmlsi=6f8m11jJwAIeZU86
Nice build, I’m sure you’re enjoying it.
You bet… as much as I can between work 😁
I would have somehow added a curtain around your counter over the stool, I know that sounds real picky , but the toilet next to the kitchen sink....lol...great use of space and I know those cold Michigan Winters near the tip.....this is alot better than tenting...
Yeah it’s something that a few have mentioned. Personally I’m ok with it but it would be an easy update to do 👍😁
I'd like this set-up in the back half of my skoolie. As bare bones as I can get away with to register RV.
Yeah I can see it being a good set up in a bus or a toy hauler. It’s pretty compact.
Here’s version 2.0 - ruclips.net/video/6G1-MKZaC4c/видео.htmlsi=uwI2XIyynG8ZAdKc

I relly like the way you did it thank you for share with us , I appreciate it .
Thanks!
Glad to share. 👍
I enjoyed this somewhat. thanks. an Idea is to maybe put in a water pressure tank ... various sizes will fit .. seeing your set up. What is nice is when the system has pressure ... you can sometimes have water without the pump running instantly etc. I have a shack that I have 12V and 120 and I use a gallon or two tank (too big for your set up) .. but it is nice and quiet. I don't like it when a faucet is turned on and the pump runs constantly .. until pressure stops it.
Great suggestion. I made some significant changes to this trailer including the one you mention, here is the updated version, let me know what you think.
ruclips.net/video/6G1-MKZaC4c/видео.htmlsi=3e9MZbxHBb9jcxwl
That's pretty cool and we'll thought out. Good job.

Would appreciate any feedback you might have.
I like your dog! What kind of little dog is that? So cute! Ohhhhh and nice work on the camper as well!✌️👍
She is a Shih-tzu about 4 years old… and she loves camping! 😄
Your 120 outlet outside is upside down. If the cover should come loose in transit it will swing down and the air currents could rip it off. If it was around the other way, if it should jiggle loose, gravity will cause it to fall down into the hole.
Man you got a good eye for detail. It’s actually a poor design with the plug …. It has a small hole in it inside to drain water. Don’t ask me why. Anyways to keep the water from draining into my trailer I just put the hole at the top. That’s why it’s upside down. Good catch though 👍
Good build...well thought out ... an area of concern is the wooden door in the shower...this needs to be treated because untreated... black mold will grow...consider raplacing wood with a hard durable easy to clean plastic... have you considered installing a SpaceX Starlink dish for off grid internet access ?. Finally I hope the wife can choose a color to paint the wood accents in the living space, add some color in there plus add some LED strip lighting for ambience at night.
Hey you got it… actually all your concerns I think I addressed in my latest build.

When I go camping I actually try to completely cut off all the electronics… other then my camera. I drive just till I’m out of cell range and camp there! 😂
Great setup!!
Very nice build and an informative understandable tour and explanation. Thank you☺
Glad you liked it and hope it helps a bit 👍
Awesome build!

Very efficient use of the space!!

Tight but cozy 😁
you did a great job, I have been thinking of doing one my self and you gave me some good ideas thank you . Being from Canada you did the video without saying aye one time ,I have some dear friends from Ont. and I kid them about the use of too many Ayes, I have A hunting camp near Smith Falls and enjoy going to hunt and fish and share the odd pint or two with some great people enjoy your camper and be safe .
Thanks appreciate it!
I definitely say my fair share of Ayes you just caught me on a good day 😄
You had fun…..great work. Happy trails
Yeah you bet… it was fun building it! 👌
Thanks
The knobs on that propane stove should pop out and you can stick a screwdriver in to adjust the flame. On the lowest setting the flames should just slightly be coming over the plate. Idk if that's what you mean by it gets to hot
I’ll definitely check that out! Yeah you got it… I can’t turn the flame down low enough. It’s probably different at different elevations but at our elevation it is just to hot!
Thanks for the info!
Die-electric fittings are needed between the copper and Black Iron. You can also use brass nipples at 4” of length. But other than that a decent build 👍
Thanks appreciate the input!
Nice. 23:39 add another fold down wall to give extra cooking space to the left
Yeah definitely was on the to do list but now I’ve ripped it all apart added 7” on each side and 2’ off the back. Lots of room inside now. 😄
@@waysoutback good stuff
Well done. Great use of space!
Thank you!
Nice setup good job 👍
Thanks!

Your refrigerator looks interesting. I like the swinging door design in a 12 volt unit. Can you share details regarding brand and model?
It’s a great little fridge. I bought it open box with a dent from a man that picked it up at an auction. The brand is solar fridges Canada I’m afraid the company is gone now… I’ve noticed a few like it in off grid solar stores.
Sorry I can’t give you better information
Excellent use of space!
Thanks!
Nice Job.... I am in the process of converting an 8x16 v-nose cargo trailer into an RV and Mobile Sign Shop. I am just starting the walls and cabinets construction. I just sold a 15-passenger shuttle bus that I lived in for 3 years and traveled out west during the winters. I had to sell the shuttle bus because I purchased a large format color printer to make contour cut decals/stickers, koozies, t-shirts, magnetics, banners, mousepads, etc. The large format color printer would have taken up a lot of storage space so I needed to get something bigger. I did a complete conversion series on the shuttle bus from the ground up and now am doing a new series on the cargo trailer conversion. They are on my YT channel.
Sounds like you'd have several improvements if you made the water heater vent manual. You'd prevent cold blowback from the outside air and you'd prevent a negative air flow in your unit (bad for heat/AC).
Yeah I redid they system in the rebuild added a few things, I cover it in the video below.
Here’s version 2.0.
