I'm new to converting an enclosed trailer into a Toy Hauler Travel Trailer. I just purchased my Trailer on this Friday passed. I have a long journey but my Wife and I are up to the challenge. I have been researching and watching Video and reading articles to inform myself as to the conversion. I want to say, out of all the converted trailer videos, I like yours the best. I like your floor plan; your equipment and of course, your style. Thank you for the links. Your video really helped much.

Good luck with your build

I have to say, your approach to showing this product is creative. A salesman at heart. Most of us who choose to convert cargo trailers to campers are not financially capable of forking out the expensive items you present. Obviously you’re not too technical and creative like the rest of us so, I’m happy for you that you can just have the unit you desire. God bless you and yours

@BuiltByMike

I'm probably more technical and creative then most building these just like having nice things. My first trailer I build all the bed and furniture. But my setup time is about 5 minutes in this trailer vs 20 to 30 in the other trailer. And when it's raining that makes a huge difference

It's obvious a lot of thought was used in planning, especially the matching rims and tires to the haul vehicle. Excellent job on the trailer and video. Muchas gracias!

I have the same jack for my trailer, omg. it's so slow! Awesome build. I just installed solar panels on my 7x14 cargo trailer camper conversion. So exciting.

You did amazing job on this cargo trailer. Pat yourself on the back sir! I love this trailer. I pray that I had one like yours to take my autistic grandson and other grandkids traveling the USA.

I built a 6X10 for working on the road and learned a lot. I did go with an electric water heater outta the gate and plumed the shower head on the back door so showers are taken outside. Since I went electric on the water I went with a small 120 home depot refrigerator also. Since I'm by myself a half hour a day of running the generator keeps my fridge cold all day everyday because I dont open it that often. I shoe horses in southern states during the winter months so didn't insulate due to the fact that my work takes me from 70° in the north to 70°weather in the south like clockwork. I'm making a fortune yet I still camp out on free land dispersed camping year round! I'm saving a lot of money thanks to my cargo conversion. Cook stove has 18,000 BTU burners so coffee is done in about 3 minutes. Life is good. Awesome job on your cargo conversion, thanks for sharing

Amazing job. I just finished our first trailer about to start the second, totally going to use some of your ideas. Love the lighting solution.

Keep from rear end trailer scrubbing dragging use wide pan cake rollers on back rear of trailer keeps rear trailer from tearing up. Usually anything standard heigth in a enclosed trailer over a 20' -21' total length ball coupler to rear of trailer should, to keep from dragging. Taller trailer keeps rear end of trailer dragging as much but pan cake rollers wheels are cheaper to add and install when buying or ordering a trailer.
