    When you build your shower block, maybe put an outdoor shower sprayer so you can spray Maggie off. Also have to compliment you how you take setbacks. All the work on the chassis only to have it rust again overnight.... and all the concrete work, only now to have to smash it. Bravo that you've not let the challenges get you down!

    Most rust conversion coatings stipulate not to remove all the rust. They work by converting the rust into a hard compound that acts as a shield for future rust.

    I'm a bit confused. A rust converter should be painted directly onto the rusted surface where it turns it into a surface suitable for painting / priming, no need for all that grinding and sanding. 😃

      @Doofus369 7 месяцев назад +1

      ​@@CampOutWestYes. But when you had to go back and redo it cause it was rusting again, just painting the converter over it would work. The converter chemically turns oxidised metal back to sound metal. It wont do anything to ground away rust that is already back to bare metal. Grind the paint back to get at the rust. Treat the rust. Paint the whole thing. Waxoyl and forget about it for years. Good Luck guys. Just keep going. ❤

    Get a tow hitch connected to the front of the Landy. This is how the professionals move the caravans around. I used to live near a dealer and it was funny, watching the caravans, moving around on the road and attached to the front of a Land Rover. You have much more control and it is easier to see what is happening.

    My anxiety maxed out when I saw red, white and mixed coloured clothes in that washing machine! My wife would KILL me if I did that…not that I ever have…honest! 🤣
    I would definitely spray rust converter in the accessible areas of box-section and use some cavity wax to protect it…those untreated surfaces will rust the frame from the inside out.

    Lesson learned #1: primer (& rust converter) is a POROUS base coat for the paint, it's made to allow paint to stick to it very well & paint has stuff in it so it will be the durable weather & UV resistant topcoat.
    Lesson learned #2: you were fighting the jockey wheel, it was keeping you from pushing down on the front to raise the back wheels off the ground as you did once you got the back wheels up on the slab & pushed down raising the front wheels. 4 wheels & nothing on it makes a big see-saw/teeter-totter.

Going to build out of insulated units like you see on the large business units and supermarkets, metal skins both sides with 40mm rigid insulation in them. Im planing on building a 8x10ft shed first as a dummy run, to see how i handle the materials before the big build, Ive seen sheds built out of it on youtube.

    You might consider putting two frames together to create a double wide. Not sure if specks or regulation's allow that. Good job. What a learning curve. 😊😊😊

      Thanks Joan, we are going to do that with the 3rd one we build. The first two will be smaller as they will be little holiday cabins for guests :)

    Suggestion:add some or Weld 4 Jacks on all 4 side (either bottle Jacks or Sissor Jacks) to make the This tiny home more Stable when working ON it.. cause right now its standing only on the wheels.

    You guys really are living my dream. Over the moon for you!!! What a lot of people don’t see so much is the hard work that goes on behind the hard work 😂. Your positive, can-do attitudes are infectious. Keep it up!!

    The corrosion process has already started on the inside of the tubing it's going to rust from the inside out. You need to spray a rust converter inside the tubing then spray a good coat of quality primer inside and finish with a good enamel paint. This will help for long term protection

    • @CampOutWest

      need to get a spraying lance for this, we plan to do it, don't worry

    It looks like investing in some big heavy tarpaulins could save you a lot of work, a little prep now saves a lot of time later on (pressure washing the pad, rust proofing the chassis etc) could keep all your wood dry when you no longer need them for the 'main' projects. Anyway, absolutely love this series and I've got my dad hooked too, he's near Wrexham so he'll definitely be making a trip once you're all up and running

    Hey guys great video, funnily enough I work as a freelance designer and technician, for a small professional group making tiny hopes just like this, we also buy our chassis from UE. I would highly recommend blocked / getting end caps for the chassis steels to stop insects and wasps etc, also don’t forget adding insect mesh when installing your cladding!

    • @CampOutWest
      @CampOutWest  7 месяцев назад +1

      Hi, that sounds like a great job, would love to see the stuff you design, our design changes by the day, we know our window layout and floor layout but externally we are undecided yet.

    As dissapointing as it is to do something again I am so glad it was pointed out at the time. I was one of those that noticed and commented. Very difficult to point out a mistake when you are working so hard all of the time, but this would have been much worse if you had to take the shower block down at a later stage. Congratulations on the tiny house finally sitting in it's forever home. Well done to you both.

    • @CampOutWest
      @CampOutWest  7 месяцев назад

      We completely agree, it would have been more work if we had of carried on and then tried to build on top of them 😅 as they wouldn't have been strong enough to support the weight of the building. Excited to be onto the tiny house build!

    Just love your videos! I was so gutted for you when the rust formed overnight and, like everyone else, was cheering you along when rolling the chassis onto the pad…and you did it 🎉 so inspired by this build and taking mental notes for when we hopefully do our own one day!

    • @CampOutWest
      @CampOutWest  7 месяцев назад

      Thanks Alana, the rust was annoying 🤣, glad we got it sorted though, was probably a job we should have prioritised in the summer. Where are you planning on building?

    You really need a small tractor with a front loader and whatever attachments you need in the back, like a lawnmower for all the work you have on you'r property.
    After you used it one's you know what I mean.
    Keep up the good work/swedish fan.

    • @CampOutWest
      @CampOutWest  7 месяцев назад +1

      We have looked at all manner of machinery but funds are going towards the cabin build at the moment, have had some quotes for a compact tractor with loader and flail and we don't have that sort of money at the moment, looked at the used market and prices still really high for old kit. Been toying with the idea of selling the landrover to go towards a tractor.

    Worth noting : Galvanised coated chassis is better. cool watch

    • @CampOutWest
      @CampOutWest  7 месяцев назад +1

      We looked for a Galvanised one last year but couldn't find anyone that did it, as that was our preference. UE Chassis's where we got this from have since started selling Galvanised ones so that will be our choice for the next one we buy 🥳
