Thanks for taking the time to make this video and sharing great ideas. I love the idea of keeping plumbing and electrical accessible for future updates and ideas. Great looking camper and yes, that view is very impressive.
From East Texas... I appreciate your sharing and your experience. Blessings to you and your family, brother. Praying for your strength, health, safety, wisdom and success. ☝️🙏🙌💪
Thanks for sharing. I also have an Interstate 6 b 12, but I have the double axel and the ramp on the back. I also painted mine all white, but I am planning on taking off the plywood to insulate it this summer. I will check into the cabinets company that you mentioned. Thanks again.
Definitely insulate! It was 10C one day and our empty un-insulated 14x7 was over 25c inside. my 22x7 insulated office trailer was actually colder than outside. Helps deaden sounds as well and wind etc. Diesel heater is the way to go. and Apartment AC 5,000 BTU works best.
Nice conversion. I did one about two years ago (see my videos). You definitely would've benefitted with insulation it.. as its not just helpful in cold temps. If its super hot.. it helps keep the camper cooler. Anyway, thx for sharing.
Nice trailer for a first-timer. I also just bought an Interstate 6x12....the FIRST thing I did was remove all wall panels and insulate it...I also did the ceiling. I plan on gluing or screwing thick styrofoam sheets under the trailer and add some type of membrane. To me, that was your only mistake. I also used a room air conditioner which was mounted on a back wall.
i didnt catch this gentlemans name um if he does not work for Interstate ah hes a GREAT sallesman😊 I like him have been reasearching cargo trailors vans box trucks budget for me is major my interest was picked when he mentioned the cieling that is a concern for me I was looking into a company in colorado but i dont know about the cieling i'll have to look into it anyways this person is very informative, helpfu, talks in a very stightforward simple way that anyone can understand Interstate give this gentleman a nice commission really great salesman!☺hope you all have a great day🌞
OK looks good for your first effort. A couple things to help you out: I know you wanted to go cheap but, as the old saying goes, you DO get what you pay for. The best trailer out here is a NEO aluminum. They do cost more but they are built much much better and weigh a lot less than steel and it wont rust. The best axle suspension is not leaf springs, it is the Dexter Torsion axle. Always insulate your metal box. We used sheep's wool. Havelock Wool is the best insulation for this as it battles moisture as well as insulates and it is VOC free. You want to go as VOC free as possible because you are putting your family in a very small environment. Any off gassing that happens in a home from ply wood for example which would be formaldehyde, is intensified in a small cargo trailer. Just a couple of thoughts for you my friend. Good job enjoy your family.
Thank you for the info on insulation. Off gassing is definitely bad in a small area so I appreciate that attention to detail. Also...I do believe he has a Dexter axle since they all come with one in that model. I just purchased a 5 X 8 and it told me all about dexter's famous axle (lol) on every page...and all the stapled-on mini billboards all over the inside. And of course, your right, aluminum is best(didn't need me to say so, of course).
I have a NEO round top 6x10 and can definitely say NEO cargo trailers ARE well built. Doesn’t hurt that it is very pleasing to the eyes too. No regrets buying a NEO at all.
Interesting. First thing you addressed was the roof! Great job. Wife is an insurance adjuster and mentioned the number of roof leaks RV’s have. You hit the nail on the head!!! You DID do research. Most buy based on price. Big mistake!.insulate! Oh yes. Heat/cool/NOISE!! You’ll be prepared!
to help with suspension, the way i did it, was, remove all the leaf s but leave the bottom on, install air bags, remember to buy only AIR RIDE LIFT, AIR BAGS, I INSTALL THE 7500# UNITS,. ALSO I ADDED SHOCKS TO SUPPORT THE BOUNCE. MY TRAILERS IS 8' WIDE TANDOM AXLES 16' LONG AND 7' TALL. SUPPORT WEIGHT IS 4000#, NET WEIGHT, GROSS 7000# . THERE'S 2 SHOCKS FACING FORWARD 2, FACING REAR. THE RIDE IS THE SAME AS IN A CADILLAC , SMOOTH. a couple of things to install, the ac/heater not what see ???, i installed a ac on top 13000btu;s, and for the heating of the room , on the beds each one has there own electric blankets, the walls and ceiling , and floors are heavy insulation, ceiling and floors r-60, and walls r-30. the average temperture during weather or snow it s still 55 degs, inside, the electric blankets run on 4each 6 volt batteries, in series with invertor for the conversion from 12vlots to 120v. note 12volts batteries, if they go below 10.8 volts there toasted , 6 volt batteries in series make up the 12lots and they can go down to 3.8vlots and still recover. solar panels a must, min. 2 0r 3 at 200 watts each. for more info feel free to contact me at email: tonymiho777@gmail.com or call me , 424 210 1312, tony.
I'm on my 4th day starting on my 6x12 cargo trailer build. I really enjoyed your video. You are a lucky man to have such a great looking family. I just subscribed to your channel
Good job. I've been eyeing a 6x10 or 6x12 as well. I totally agree with the conduit. So many other channels hide the wiring and all I could think was: "How are you going to fix any wiring issues?"
You could still put insulation in it. It be a pain but not undoable. Or at least put it where you have excess. Love the design and colors. Looks way bigger then it is.
I had the same issue with my cabinet doors opening while traveling. I found some small magnets that I mounted in the cabinet doors, now they stay closed. 👍🏾
Just to start off. I looked at this video for ideas. You got really good ideas and your presentation I think is great. That brings me to the explanation of temp and don't matter where you live. I would consider a few things that I believe will advance you on cost in the field and maybe longer stay. Your AC power on good path. Add the DC and don't be scared to add solar to that roof. I will add a channel, you may watch but you should check out. Don't be alarmed if you cut the vent or max air in the roof. That trailer is the best in roof design and will be just fine just use caution and ask around for more ideas. The thing I really like first is that trailer. Second those cabinets or pretty Bad to the bone it looks like. I will be checking those out. I like that fridge to. I am like you though, I don't know enough about that A/C heater you got there from Black and Decker. Good job, great choice on trailer. Go look At Gonagain on you tube. He and his wife have lots of tricks, tips, and builds. Now we all design to fit our family or likings but I think you can add the roof insulation and floor insulation as he did on his. That will help A whole LOt. Seriously. Great presentation.
Hi, I am interested in why you would pick a diesel heater over a propane one. I won't begin to build my conversion until the fall and am mulling over which type of heat would be best. Thanks!
@@gardnerberry113 no kidding, I’m interested as well. I’ve built mine already but left space for a diesel heater just didn’t pull the trigger on one because I was worried about the fuel delivery system install.
@@thepipewhisperer8357 Some have the diesel plastic bottle that you could attach to a wall. It's dry heat too, so no condensation. No dealing with a propane furnace.
Nice video on your Conversion. 2 years have passed since this video. Did you make any changes. I would have definately add insulation. Styrofoam panels can be cut for roof easily. It deadens the noise from rain or anything also. I hope you figured out your water carrier for your sink. 5 gal. For maybe 1 day. I take 20 gal. For a weekend. Also last question. I know you didnt want a vent on roof but they can be done right with out leaking unless it is accidentally left open. You need ventilation in those trailers. I didn't see any windows on your trailer. I know you mentioned the beauty of nature and where you camp. Windows are important not only for light and air movement, but as an escape if need be. We had a tree after a storm fall on a persons vehicle just missing hitting the camper, but where it landed, the camper door was not able to be opened, it was blocked. Definately put a window or 2. Thanks, hope your enjoying the camper.
Nice work! Very stylish and inviting. Your kitchen looks really good. The flooring looks like real wood. I'm in the middle of converting a 6x10 Haulmark. You gave me some great ideas. Thanks!
I can solve your insulation problem. I’ll let you were a little secret. That top rail that your wife painted if you pull it off around the perimeter of the ceiling it exposes 3 inches in between each day which are 16 on center. Go to OfficeMax and buy the giant bags of packing peanuts and fill in all those days the best you can from anywhere you can. I’ve insulated entire cargo trailers this way and it works perfect without having to rip the walls.
We love it so far. Sometimes we take it out of storage just to sleep in it in our driveway, sometimes my husband uses it as his office. It’s a she shed and a man cave!!!
@@lynnpaligo9305 The way life should be. Enjoying the SimpleThings. I love it. We are set to finally order our Trailer this week. We are all excited. Stay safe in these wild times please. 🥂
Great video, nice job on the trailer. Can you tell us about the bike rack? It’s a little bit hard to see the details, how is it set up between the tow vehicle and the trailer?
nice video. the portable ac unit that you have are convenient but really inefficient with the way that the ducting works. A lot of hot air leaks from the back and from the tube. you're better off getting a cheaper wall ac unit and having a vent that goes directly outside
Hi rob, I have rear hot air venting outside. Initially I did not vent the exhaust but then it kept tripping the breaker I guess it wasn’t getting enough fresh air circulating through the unit. But runs really good now, but due to the location the thermostat is off and it’s not running effectively like you said:( I’m not sure that I’m going to change anything at this time, maybe in two years:) Thanks again for your feedback!
@@4x2WagonFamily Yep I speak from experience with those standing units but otherwise the build looks fantastic thus far. I really like how you left the ceiling intact because people love to put vents and fans and that stuff is definitely going to leak eventually. I'm probably going to add inlet and exhaust fans for ventilation/cooking/shower but I'll have them on the side of the trailer with a vent that points down so rain isn't an issue. They have these vents that have louvers that don't allow backdraft
Useful video. I wanted to get a V-nose trailer but they all only come with a flat roof which means there's a possibility of having water leak from the roof in the long run. Thought?
@@4x2WagonFamily Is all ok my friend. You have given me some good tips based on your observations. I recently purchased a 6x10 cargo trailer similar to your. I think I will leave the rooftop alone without opening any holes :) You are doing a great job and thank you for the tips! Keep it simple. I have watched a couple of German guys who have done an outstanding job with their trailers, they tend to be practical and have different ways in designing the interior of their trailers. Here in the USA people are conditioned to bring all the commodities they are used to inside their trailer, adding a ton of weight in the end. Light is better with just the essentials is the best and you save money too. I highly recommend you to watch those Germans! Good luck to you and your wonderful family. 👍
@@4x2WagonFamily I would like to get a 8x5. I wonder if I could get an interstate 8x5 with suspension and an RV door. I tried contacting them but they don't seem to want to be bothered.
@@4x2WagonFamily If you put an additional lock (on the opposite side from the door) you can lock the original lock open, that would allow you to keep the more secure lock without the risk of someone looking you in.
I would send a picture if allowed, but basically you could keep both locks without running the risk of being locked in because the original lock could be locked in the open position by adding an latch (like the one where the padlock goes) but on the opposite side. If I didn't explain it well enough please let me know, but I would not remove the original lock.
The only thing to be careful with when you have a single axle trailer is having a tire blowout at highway speeds. Pay close attention to tire condition and pressure as well as axle bearings being well greased. Also the leaf springs are subject to breaking so I always carry a spare and have practiced changing it. If you're boondocking when one breaks it can be very expensive to have it towed. Your build looks great.
Wait a minute wife painted, laid down the floor, and shopped also? She is gold!
Thank you for the compliment, I’m the wife!!!

Insulation also helps keep out the heat.
Yeah, I regret not insulating. The price I pay for being cheap:(
Nice build 👍
Looks good... it looks like there is no insulation in the ceiling? Maybe that would help with the heating/ cooling issue.
I see you have one of those portable ac units , you should research the mini split, it'll be the best investment you'll ever make👍
I did consider the mini split, but I wanted to minimize hole ms in my trailer.

The only thing to be careful with when you have a single axle trailer is having a tire blowout at highway speeds. Pay close attention to tire condition and pressure as well as axle bearings being well greased. Also the leaf springs are subject to breaking so I always carry a spare and have practiced changing it. If you're boondocking when one breaks it can be very expensive to have it towed. Your build looks great.
Great pointers thank you.
