Well, the screw up with the curtains just helped you add a skill to your prepping arsenal. Knowledge is power. Being able to sew is in my opinion one of the most often overlooked prepper skills.

Agreed. A clothing store would be few and far between when the shit hits the fan. Fixing tears in fabric is an essential skill. Coats, pants, sleeping bags or what ever. Mending things whether it be a vehicle or a pear of pants is crucial to moral and an ongoing way of life.

I have the same trailer. Put a canopy on the same side as the side door. Perfect atmosphere when sitting on level ground.

You should put tire covers over the spares so they aren't UV rotted when you need them.

Truly admire your craftsmanship, I learned some short cuts on my trailer project. Thanks for sharing

You're a genius handyman. You could build these for a living or just extra income. I like that its an incognito travel trailer so the sheeple won't know what it is.

You should make a roof access door, you never want to be trapped in a little place

lots of potential, looking forward to updates. May as well make it look like a camper. A white box trailer is a magnet for theives.

Nice! Hey here is a tip if you want it. Take a 8" wide pvc pipe about 8 feet long and put screw end caps on both sides. You can permanently mount it to the trailer and use it to carry fishing rods, maybe a rifle or other stuff instead of it taking up space on the inside.

Very neat! Absolutely love the idea!

Love the sewing machine youtube comment...self sufficiency is important.

That's really pretty ingenious! Nice use of the space, but very "stealthy". Excellent job!

Very nicely done. Thanks for the tour.

WOW! You have done a fine job! You have the mind and skills that created this country! Keep it up!

VERY GOOD JOB!!!! You have a good eye for detail :)

Fantastic quality job. I see you have an excellent eye for detail. I recently purchased a 18 ft. cargo trailer and after watching your video my head is wandering with the possibilities. I just finished up with the ceiling insulation and paneling today and working on the storage area/shelving. I was going to use the trailer for storage, but now you have me rethinking things. Thank you for the inspiration.

A thing of beauty. Nice work.

Great job! I had a similar trailer I used for work and camping. The one mod I would highly recommend would be to "flip" your axle. You would move your axle from above the springs to below them, giving you 4"-5" of extra ground clearance. This helps to prevent dragging your leveling jacks and really gives peace of mind when entering rough areas. Really good looking trailer!

You did a great Job!!! You have inspired me and others I am sure. Thank You!!!

This is exactly what I'm planning on building for a camper for myself. Ironically the electrical is the easy part for me the plumbing is what I find challenging.

one of the best general setups I've seen.

I also converted a cargo trailer. #1 ventilation Don't suffocate

Really sweet! Everything is so clean and precise! Great vid! Thanx!

Jeff Lilly In my other response, I mentioned "being with people who have built similar units"... Sturgis is EXACTLY what they built theirs for. Loaded with Solar, Satellite / Flat Screen and screen door on the side entry, with a sectioned screen magnetic closure door for the ramp opening. They put both of their bikes inside, and when they roll them out, the sofa/bed swing down from the walls. 8 or 9 years of improvements and I would say that all 3 units are nearly perfect for each couple's budget and needs.

+hughie voso Absolutely. I used a 30 gallon black barell laid on it's side on the top of a Step Van once when chasing jobs on the road for a "vagabond" shower I made. That worked pretty good but yes the water could light you up after a sunny day lol. I had it all gravity fed and as for the shower being too hot it was in the mornings usually when I showered as I worked night shift as a crane rigger then so it was OK except in winter months to say the least. Thanks for the reply man and keep on keeping on!

Nice job. it is best to keep it looking like a cargo trailer as much as possible, and so far you have done just that.

That thing is nice, need and clean looking.

Beautiful. I like the fact that you kept it without rugs and felt. This should be easy to clean. Looks really great and spacious. These trailers are becoming popular it seems. You either got a bargain price or they are still priced low. Thanks for the tour; inspirational.

Hi, you did a great job so far! Adding solar capable will really get you off the grid. I do have two things, that you may want to do. Attach a shower head holder on the out side wall and attach some dark water hoes wound up flat on the roof of the cargo trailer for a few gallons of hot water. I am sure you can figure out how to do the plumbing. Again, great job! Stay safe and enjoy life!

+Gachitadamunga Hell, I wouldn't trade my travel trailer for that. My trailer is far more capable, full-featured, and comfortable. We use a utility trailer (pulled by the wife) for storage and a portable workshop. The two pickup trucks add additional hauling options. Mine, for example, hauls an inflatable boat (motor, gear, etc) for fishing or recreation.

I do the craft show and tech show circuit selling items I've made and doing demonstrations. A setup like this would give me a way to haul my stuff AND living accommodations for a weekend rather than restaurants and hotels. Brilliant. Now time to start planning. Thanks for the ideas and insight.

i just bought an even tinier version. Just long enough for a cot. Rounded nose. Ramp door. Best part only $500. Total stealth. Not big enough to stand inside, but sitting in a chair is totally non claustrophobic. You'd never guess it's going to be an RV. This video inspired me.

you done really well, I am inspired by you, its great when people make things :)

Good start on you conversion. I have a utility trailer that I use for my handyman service. I plan on converting it into a camp trailer in the near future. Nice to get ideas for when I do. Just for your info, you didn't need to put in a J trap for your sink since you don't have a sewage storage tank. That way you don't have to worry about getting the water out of the J trap for winter storage/freezing. The purpose of the J trap is to hold water to keep the sewer smell/gases from coming up. You don't have that problem.

Very tidy and craftsman like. Simple, clean, well thought out.

Nice job. Very clean and well thought out.

This is quite the set up bud, very clever use of space with plenty of room for options. I'm a plumber R&C. And a tankless water heater would be a good option. Often referred to as "Rinai" heaters, would not only ideally fit. It would handle any demands you throw at it. But you would might need to invest in to a solar panel?

Looks dang good :)

Excellent video! Thanks for all of the details you provided.

Very nicely done! I am impressed with your ingenuity and DIY skills! Can't wait for more updates!

pretty slick man

Nice Job

Good idea, some camouflage and you can hide in the woods. These trailers are awesome, sleep inside, cook, store things. Good rig.

Great build out! Thanks for sharing.

For your first project, I'd say you did a pretty nice job!! I see what you mean by "stealth" camping... you can't tell that's a camper. It looks like a utility trailer (because, of course it is one) and you can put that where you might expect to find a utility trailer. You're not as likely to get chased out of an area. Again, nice work!

I totally agree! Really nice clean layout, professionally done. If I could do something like this when I'm finished using my utility trailer for hauling stuff in a couple of years, my wife would love traveling with me and not renting motels!

Your workmanship looks great, but with all due respect. I believe having all of that water (320lbs.) mounted in the nose of that trailer causes you to be way to heavy on the tongue for proper weight distribution. That can cause poor pulling stability. Also it seams like you have all of the weight on one side of the unit. You might want to try distributing the weight out a little better. This would make pulling that thing a dream. I’m pulling one behind a 2 door Jeep Wrangler and I’ve really had to pay attention to load/ distribution very closely. My pulling capacity is only 2,500 lbs. which is approximately 250 lb. tongue weight. Please don’t take my post the wrong way. Overall your project looks fantastic. Hope everything is working out for you.

This little trailer gets a big WOW! Nicely done. The craftsmanship looks great and very clean.

It looks cozy and comfy, Awsome job!

Great job. Reminds me of my submarine days - stored stuff everywhere. Thanks.

Love the simplicity of this rig and that you sewed the curtains yourself! I like the idea of creating something yourself . . . like building your own home . . . you know the inside and outside of what you have. You did a beautiful job. I didn't see a window and realize that cutting one in compromises the integrity of the trailer and weather-proofing. Would you recommend adding a window now that you've traveled/camped in this? How is it holding up now that it's been 3+ years? Thanks for your knowledge!

Good job man. Gets the brain to turning with ideas !!!

Excellent job very stealthy and just about the right size , thanks for sharing

I like it but it would have been more space saving if you built a false floor maybe 2 1/2 feet deep with cubbies below for storage, and add a lift lock roof to make up for the walk space loss by the raised floor. it would add a lot more light and don't use stationary cabinets or a bed. use Japanese floor futons that can roll up and be put away. (the thick ones not the traditional ones.) the cabinets should be on hinges so you can prop them up when in use and lay down flat against the wall when not. and on the walls and ceilings have hooks and stuff so when you have guests over you can add hammocks and fabric hanging closets and cabinets that again if not in use you can store away or tie on to the ceiling. and if you want a couch you can hook one up to the wall. the two and a half deep floor would give you space to store a composting toilet under the floor when not in use. just my opinion...

Nice! Love the panelling & white trim. Looks so professional & homey.

No insulation on the cargo door? They make insulating fabric you can line the back of the curtain with; it'll make a big difference.

Wouldn't a cargo trailer actually be the opposite of stealth for a SHTF scenario? Cargo trailer = lots of supplies to steal. Whereas a camper = a mobile living area. Honestly I'd think about using a camper to haul around my valuable supplies as stealth... Just saying.
