Looking great! If the cargo van market doesn't correct itself in the near future I'm going back to the cargo trailer conversion. So ar this one looks like a winner. I like the shower pan you have.
I have a fresh water tank inside as well just a FYI if you fill it with cold water it will sweat. you probably have though about that as well.I love your Chanel you both are stand up people keep up the good work
Bill and Deb. I found your channel and you two Rock together! I love your perseverance and dedication to the trailer and each other. I live in Northern WI and take notes on everything you do. Bill - you should be a voice actor..so deep and soothing,...Deb, Love the new haircut. Take care and God bless. can't wait to see your new house finished!
Great to see you both and thanks for showing me your side drain and sump setup. Wrestling with the bathroom on our trailer and knew you had a cool idea there Bill. We will load some more coffee into the fund for you and Deb too. Enjoy one another and enjoy the build. We will wait to see it come to life. I know you will do the same craftsmanship work you have done before Bill. All the best from Mn. - Paul, Julie and Ms. Lydia.
Awesome job. Bill, thanks for giving me/us design construction technical walk through. You folks are great. I love your posts and you're willingness to share your life experiences. Again you two are great, may God bless. Thanks
Just subscribed to your channel. Thoroughly enjoy your videos since we had to give up camping or (living) as you have stated. We are living through your videos.. Looking forward to the finished project so that you guys can rest again and continue living your dream..Keep up the good work…
I don't think anyone would or should mind a delay in videos. We certainly understand this is a busy time for you, and a time consuming project. Wishing you all the best, and will be looking forward to your next video, at your convenience.
Hi. Stan here from Ludowici, Georgia. My 7'x14' arrived May 26th. I can relate to your storage delima as I am doing it as well, plus sleeping in it on a roll away bed. That slows the process even more. Yep, no A/C!! I've decided not to be in a rush and enjoy the process. Been raining here every afternoon lately too. Picked and froze black berries between rain showers. Thanks Bill & Deb. You guys are an encouragement to keep on keeping on!

Thank you so much for all you do. My family is building a conversion just like you and showing you designs have given us a different perspective. We originally had placed our shower water tank under the shower pan. This created a 14" step up for entry. Now with your gracious giving of your time we saw that a shower sump pump exist and are going to drop and move the tank and have a normal shower pan setup and step in height. Thank you so very much. God's speed.
I live in Florida I’m doing a build out on the concession trailer right now. Going to go 48 V. Two batteries will give me 600 amp hours. Will have plenty of power. 2000 W of solar on roof trailers roughly 80 x 16’. Going to be amazing. Wish you all the best
I hope y'all have been filming some, at least, and will do a compilation when you get it finished and can relax a little. I know you're so busy getting it ready to roll to Arkansas. We would love a sneak peek, too, if you can find another couple of minutes to give us an update on how y'all are doing. We miss you! :)
Hello from Norway, nice build and love the layout. I do agree with not camping but living. I bought and moved into a motorhome 1 year ago and don't have any plans to live any other way soon.
I'm building a 24v system as well and was pleasantly surprised by the things you can run on 24v directly. My refrigerator/freezer, diesel heater, main ventilation fan, water pump, and USB outlets are 24v. I also found 24v lighting but didn't like it as well as what was available in 12v. Just an FYI, running on 24v will always be the most efficient.
Bill & Deb , amazing job on the build. Heads up on the solar, 440 Ah @ 12volts will not be strong enough to things like microwave, slow cooker, AC or any of that. You have the dimensions for a lot of panels on the roof, but your battery bank will need to be quadrupled. I am only mentioning this because the Tiny Wanderer is 100% solar, and I literally will need to redo the entire thing this summer.
The 12 volt step down transformer is only for basic 12 volt appliances like led lights, the sump pump and the fresh water pump. The 3,000 watt pure sign wave inverter is a 24 volt unit. We're not really going all out to be fully and totally self contained. This system is mainly to allow us for that occasional 2 to 3 night boondocking excursion augmented with a small inverter generator. Since we arrived in Florida, our maxair fan has ran nonstop and we've been showering every day (using the sump pump) for 4 days and the battery bank is still at 77%
@@billanddeb awesome guys, I was just throwing caution to the wind, I’ve seen Deb cooking lol and the solar won’t stand for that. Glad it’s working out for ya, see ya all in February 2022
@@TinyWanderland panels are on the list but they'll come later as funds become available. For now we're installing two power inlets. The standard 50 amp inlet, and a 15 amp inlet. The receptacle that powers the charger will be able to source its power from either power source via an a/b switch. This will allow us to moochdock on friends driveways with only a 15 amp power source. When connected to a 15 amp power source, it will keep our battery bank topped off while running on our inverter, with limited use of our 120 volt appliances.
@@billanddeb ok that makes much more sense. We purposely designed the TW so it could run on normal electrical power (shore power 20A). This is why I asked you about the dogleg adapter for campgrounds. Sounds like your on the right track!

What is the thickness of your wall panelling? Also, what dimensions of wood did you use for framing your bed; your kitchen cabinetry; and, your raised platform for the shower pan?
The wall panels are 5 mill (3/16 inch). Got it at Lowes. The Kitchen Cabinets were commissioned at a cabinet shop. All plywood and "one by" framing. All of the framing (bed frame, raised bathroom floor etc) are 2×2 (1 1/2×1 1/2) framing. The "walls" of the bedframe and raised floor were built using basic framing techniques. The "studs" are 2×2s with the top and bottom plates being 1×2s with an additional 1×2 top plate to tie in the connecting walls (just like framing a house). It came out light and very strong. We've been on the road now (with this trailer) about 1 1/2 years and everything has held up great. We have yet had the need to tighten a single screw or repair anything concerning the construction technique.
I kind of figured that is what was going on because I know you can’t stay forever at the place you are currently at but I know it will be worth it in the end results keep the faith ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🌈🌈🌈
We're in Florida now and we've been taking a short break to recuperate. We're almost "human" again so Construction will resume shortly. Our mini split air conditioner is sposed to arrive sometime Monday. Once that's up and working, sleeping will be much more pleasant. 😴
They have the new toilet also. If I get time I’ll post it for you on here. It’s a cassette toilet. You get 15 flushes before you have to change it. Wet dry does not matter it is Great. Just under $800
What will you do for exercise now that the “bed roll” will be eliminated from your fitness regimen? Maybe you can devise some kind of poll vault routine over the new rig since it is so much taller. I’m excited to see it. Make Bill go first. Your buildout is looking really sharp! I’ll miss ole red though too, it had so much of your personalities in it. The new one won’t be as blaring noticeable when you inadvertently camp in the same campgrounds over the limit so there is that.
Are you gonna model your Electric and Solar after Marvin's? And will you do an in depth video of it with products links AND/OR can you do a more in depth video of his system?
You really need to look at Growatt they make everything all in one. A lot less wiring. 12 24 48 which ever you want. Much cheaper than you ever could imagine.
Seems you been so Busy you rushed the haircut/shave ? 0:40 mark . LOL. Eagerly Following this Build as I'm wanting to build myself one in Future. Are you going with a compost toilet ?

Hey everything looks great. Just a couple of thoughts. I had a storage building burn to the ground..because of hydrogen build up from charging a battery. Just something to think about. You probably are going to insulate around your hot water heater. Just didn't say. I'm in South West Ga. Pm me on Facebook I'll give you my number. I've got most any tool you could need and 2.5 a.c. on a spring fed cypress lake. If you need anything. Let me know.
Making great progress! Too bad you’re in a rush though. When I feel rushed the fun goes away and it starts to feel like work. Maybe when you get some free time you can do a video on the 24 volt system.
Lots like you guys are having fun and enjoying life being excellent to each other and those who follow your videos.
Ur getting there slowly but surely . When it's finished it will be well worth it and beautiful to boot . Have a blessed week all y'all

It takes time to get everything done. That, (in my opinion), allows you to make it truly custom instead of a rush job that you have to modify.
