Looking good. Hopefully it will last a long time and provide shelter on many, many more trips. I'm excited to see your pull out kitchen come to life. Sounds like a good plan!
Scott, great video! Flooring looks awesome! Looking forward to your kitchen slide. Two burner propane set up, Blackstone griddle? I've got the 17" Blackstone and just love it. I'll have to wait and see I guess!!
Did you consider using the vinyl floor slats which look exactly like the “wood” planks? That would have helped a lot with shrinkage and would’ve been completely water proof.
Perhaps I am missing it, but are all of your videos in an order and numbered to follow along? Just so I don't miss anything. I have always wanted to build a travel trailer, years ago I built my own cabin cruiser for small lakes
That is a beautiful color flooring. You are doing a wonderful job on this build, especially your attention to the minor details. You and Shawn definitely have that in common. Speaking of Shawn (My Self Reliance), do you ever hear from him or Joe? Anyway, I hope you have an early spring. It will be 75 degrees Fahrenheit here in Tennessee for the next week. Flowers are blooming and the trees have buds. We are not out of the woods yet. We still have what they call dogwood winter to go through which is usually around Easter when the dogwood trees bloom. I hope all is well with you and your family and can't wait for your next outing.
Nice. Looking good. Your project is coming along nicely. I do hope you left plenty of expansion room that floor will expand quite a bit in a camper. Just my experience.
I would have added a good sealant “caulk” under the vapour barrier in front of the shower and door to keep moister from getting under it where you can’t wrap it upward.
You should have just used self-tapping screws and screwed it to the frame. Do this for two reasons. #1: Using metal on the aluminum causes galvanic corrosion to the aluminum unless you can completely avoid contact between the bolt and the aluminum. #2: Screwing it to the frame is as tight or tighter and much quicker and easier and no chance of galvanic corrosion of the aluminum. BTW, nice job on the flooring and the shower. It looks nice and you did a very nice job.
Really enjoying the build so far , my only concern is you used mdf laminate flooring instead of vinyl interlock floor , that mdf is crap when it gets wet , swells and chips , the vinyl is 100% waterproof and scratch resistant and looks better , just my opinion thats all , no wrong way just think if im going to do the floor and build on top , it better be something i dont ever want to have to fix .....i done every type of flooring and that mdf is the worst for any water spill and you want to use your trailer year round ? Time will tell ....just think you have gone to every measure to waterproof the outside but didnt consider the interior flooring , yes its more expensive but its the floor , the most abuses surface , once again only my opinion ....still like the builb so far..
I have a vehicle transport and I want to put some cabinets and countertop with a sick A/C heater and TV and a small bathroom. It’s a 24ft long. Do you think putting walls insulation and all the stuff I mentioned before would be expensive?
You may have a problem. Floating floors expand and contract. You have installed your floor in the cold which will make the boards as small as possible. It looks from your video and I may be wrong but you are tight up agains the walls. If you did not leave at least 3/8 gap around the edges your floor will buckle in the summer heat when it expands. Also if you build the wall ontop of a floating floor you will restrict it's ability to move and you again will have the floor buckle. I hope not to be the bearer of bad news.
The heads of the floor bolts are not big enough, therefore it will fail down the road, u should have used 30 to 40mm washers recessed into the floor, which would never fail with the moving and flexing of the trailer floor.
You know I like what you doing with the trailer but I wish you would put a complete video up because when you tease people like this it makes me not even want to look at the videos no more I don't watch every video you just did so far and you're never complete
I’ve never been more invested in a build series. Bravo sir
thank you
This has got to be the best build from scratch I've ever seen on RUclips. Way to do it. Great thought going into it and well executed.
Thanks
Certainly will outlive Mr. Scott. Great job, be proud!
Looking beautiful Scott, love your attention to detail.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great solutions Scott! Advantage of fluid design over time for your custom build. Looks great and inviting
Thanks! 👍
Looking good. Hopefully it will last a long time and provide shelter on many, many more trips. I'm excited to see your pull out kitchen come to life. Sounds like a good plan!
I hope so too!
I Am So Impressed! Great Work! I Love The Slide Out Kitchen
Thanks for checking out the build 👍
That was some real nice cutting around that shower pan great job looking forward to seeing when completed
Your thought process is very understandable to me.
Great floor Scott, very durable to dog's nails and sand. Great choice.
I think so too!
Very nice flooring can't wait to see more. 🙂🇨🇦👍

I can't wait to spend a night in it
Soon, lol.
Disfruto mucho de sus videos.. no logro entender mucho pero me las arreglo.. saludos desde Argentina..
Its a beautiful trailer scott. How much it costed you to build the trailer till finish
what is the gray/tan paper tacked onto the interior walls?
You should have just used self-tapping screws and screwed it to the frame. Do this for two reasons. #1: Using metal on the aluminum causes galvanic corrosion to the aluminum unless you can completely avoid contact between the bolt and the aluminum. #2: Screwing it to the frame is as tight or tighter and much quicker and easier and no chance of galvanic corrosion of the aluminum.

If you do it yourself it should be reasonable.
You may have a problem. Floating floors expand and contract. You have installed your floor in the cold which will make the boards as small as possible. It looks from your video and I may be wrong but you are tight up agains the walls. If you did not leave at least 3/8 gap around the edges your floor will buckle in the summer heat when it expands.

Hola soy Colombiana me encanta los vídeos,me gustaría tener subtitulos en español latino gracias 🫂 felicidades gran trabajo
Dear Eddy, where is the insulation under the floor?
The heads of the floor bolts are not big enough, therefore it will fail down the road, u should have used 30 to 40mm washers recessed into the floor, which would never fail with the moving and flexing of the trailer floor.
👍
looks like a lot of rust on steel frame under floor?
My life's dream is to have a mobile home, how can I not know where to know
Those flare you could have just pop riveted it down for more security.
The dream of my life, but I do not have any possibilities
You know I like what you doing with the trailer but I wish you would put a complete video up because when you tease people like this it makes me not even want to look at the videos no more I don't watch every video you just did so far and you're never complete
