As someone who has watched dozens of hours of builds , i can say i definitely can appreciate your no nonsense simplified uncomplicated filming of the different processes, i think its a good approach, but definitely don't forget on more intricate and subjective kind of techniques to slow it down and get detailed more indepth,
Curious how the undercoating is holding up. I have a new snowmobile trailer I'm going to insulate and apply something to the flooring underside... just not sure what to use.
What bit did you use in the router to cut the hole for the tie down brackets? I’ve never owned a router but after seeing how quick that was and beveling your bed platform, I’m buying one.
It had a flush trim bit in it. You can get a little laminate router like that one for pretty cheap. I use my little one over the big ones most of the time.
What Brand cargo trailer is that ? I was impressed by the steel plates where the axle connects, I just seen a video the other day where the axles split the aluminum under the trailer because they used a Halo thin tube of aluminum where they connected the axles.looks like your doing things right , you know what they say, if you want it done right do it yourself.
It's a Legacy. I liked that too. One of my neighbors is an HVAC guy and uses a trailer to haul equipment and tools. His flat out snapped off where the tongue meets the frame! It was a much lighter duty frame than this one so fingers crossed!
Trailer is 14' x 8' with 7' headroom. I did not insulate the floor. Wasn't sure if it needed it. Spent the weekend after Thanksgiving out four wheeling and heated it with a little electric heater. Did just fine. Curious if I foamed the underside if it would stay in. Might try down the road.
@@buildlifeoverland I decided to go with the ridgid purely for cost reasons. I still haven't got around to installing it, but will update with how well it does. Hopefully soon enough.
Yes. Watch the first video on this trailer where we undercoat the bottom. You can see the aluminum frame. They have some pretty nice steel plates where the axle connects. That and the axles are the only steel.

Thanks, Hard to fit it all in. Much easier to build with no camera LOL! A balance I guess.
i loved the idea of using plywood instead of those silly furring strips.
I'll be putting that to use when I do my build out. Thanks
Any time! Plywood scraps are great for stuff like that because they never split! Good luck with your build.
I liked the compressed air shower. lol!
Keeps it out of the house!

so far it's been great. I talked to my spray foam guy and he said that would do good as well. Then youd get some insulation under it for the winter!
Can you share what flooring and what lights? Happy with the lighting still? Amazing content - thanks for sharing some great ideas!
Thanks, There should be links to each in the video about those specific parts of the build if that makes sense. Everything is off Amazon

Is insulating the floor necessary? It doesn’t look like it was done in this build
I didn't. If I used it in the cold more often I think I would.

nice
Thanks

Cargo enclosed travel a la pavellon
What are the trailer dimensions? Didn’t catch that in the other videos. Good functional project that I am looking into for a hunting rig.
Also, did you insulate the floor at all?

@@buildlifeoverland2 inch foam on the bottom would help I'm about to do that for my 7x16 build.
@@scrogathon Are you doing spray foam or rigid?

LOL I guess overland and overlanding sound cooler than driving rotfl. Jeeze.
We always called it car camping LOL!
Is that all aluminum?
Yes. Watch the first video on this trailer where we undercoat the bottom. You can see the aluminum frame. They have some pretty nice steel plates where the axle connects. That and the axles are the only steel.
