- We found another connex shipping container and instead of using it for storage, it will be converted into another camper! It will be rehabbed and dropped at a family campground!
Make sure to subscribe so you can see how it turns out.
Everyone that delivers seabox containers leave the back corners off the bed. It's within legal length from the taillights. When you go to drop them, you only have to tilt down, the corners hit the ground, & you can drive out. Another trick is if you need to steer the front of the box, you can loosen the winch & slid the hook to the right or left on the chain & start pulling again. the container will turn because the cable naturally wants to be in the center of the trailer.
Yea, ive started doing that, especially on short trips in town!
You should run quick connect jumpers underneath your truck to the rear of the flatbed so you won’t have to worry about dead batteries in a pinch. Comes in really handy!
Ye, I just need to take the time to do that, because it sucks when I'm in a hurry
I built a shipping container office years ago. Used foam and stucco inside, Did not install any windows except on the ends, replaced the doors with a steel section cut from a damaged container and windows on both ends. . Great job moving that container, the tilt trailer is like a flat bed tow truck. Much easier than using jacks and an equipment trailer.
2 or 3 small ones of those work cuz 1 be a bedroom or 2 with washroom if all fit or 1 masterroom then other one be living room & last one be a office or get 2 big ones 1 for living & kitchen rooms & others be 2 good size rooms
Those winches really like to be hooked up to a running engine with alternator power and dish soap on the trailer floor under the container corners will help a heavy loaded container slide up the deck easier. I once loaded full of tools 40' hc container 30k of weight on a 40' maxxd tdx 30k gvrw trailer she was a bit over loaded haha but old maxxed come thru. I had a shity 12k harbor freight winch with pully block it was working to its limits
Jeeeeez, haha
Yea, I didn't wire this one, it's not even connected to the trailer plug, so it literally just drains a battery. Really need to redo it, but I am considering a larger trailer to haul multiple pieces of equipment at once!
@@rollingops I figured a 40' gooseneck would be nice to have but I don't miss it. It was a pain to maneuver coupled to a crew cab dmax thats 23' long. Your std cab dually is the way to tow and maneuver in tighter spaces but I'd do maybe 32' or 35' deck trailer just enough to hual a 40' container. There is a dot code the states you need all four container corners touching the trailer if it has any cargo inside. And I believe the maximum overhang off the back of a trailer verys from 6'-10' state by state something to consider if you are looking to hual containers
@@smffab2868 I always forget about the varied overhang! You're right, I should get the minimum length for a 40 ft. Best of both worlds! Good things to consider, appreciate it!
Just seen your Vidz Man, think it was your first one, Kudos to him for helping get you more Customers! Love seeing your Progress Bro, Sending Love, Best Wishes and Massive Support Brother from Brisbane, Australia! Am following you as well! Happy the Business is Growing for sure Bro!!
Wow man! I really appreciate that, so cool that you're seeing this all they way down there! Love it, much love
But more and turn them into Airbnbs. They’d be amazing in a nice wooded or lake area.
Yep! I actually have that on my list of things for sure! People love staying in unique places
any update on this thing? i'd love to see the finished product!
I'll check, with him, I haven't taken a look in a while
Big moves big moves!!!!
Everyday, 1%
Isn't there a solar panel setup you can mount on top of gooseneck part to keep batteries charged?
Yepppp! You'll notice in newer videos, that's exactly what I did!
I'm getting there 😂
Hey I was looking this set up lil as like a local hot shot driver or roll of dumpsters in my area what would you recommend me as if I go into it like a haul slash dumpster type business thank ya
I have 20ft containers i would like to move with my stardard drivers liscene with my 1 ton chevy silverado. Staying under 26,000 lbs.
What is the trailer manufacture you are using?
Maxxd and load trail. Depending on the 1 ton. You could probably use a 14k trailer and be under 26k
Wow. That was grass last I seen it
Tried to make sure it was knocked out well before snow!
make it a kitchen for the other units on the camp site
How close was I on the aggregate?
I'm waiting for my ticket with all the tonnage. But I'm roughly pushing 400-500 tons so far!
1st good
Morning sir!
Morning to you!
