That’s the best cargo camper I have ever seen. You must be a man of a million talents. You have set the bar high for all cargo camper projects. Very impressive.
This is a great job. I've watched what seems like hundreds of these. Everyone has their own style, preferences and ideas. That's why I love these custom builds. Usually several things I like and several things I wouldn't personally do. But I love this build. Killer job. Awesome work.
Shelter.. bath and toilet facilities.. food storage and preparation area.. a comfortable space to relax and sleep. All this in 16 feet. This is an example of true self sufficiency and wisdom. The wisdom of simplicity and The luxury of efficiency. Well done.
One of the best conversions I've seen. At last a builder who doesn't make excuses for the TV, Microwave, A/C or oven. It grinds my gears when someone shows their 55" TV and says "oh, we never watch it", or a beautiful oven and says "oh we never use it". Or a nice microwave, "oh, we use it for storage". People worried too much about what others think like they are a bad human if they choose to watch a little TV. This build is by an honest man who did a great job!
I've been in the RV business for 15 years and I have to say I'm very impressed. Great work!
It looks so much larger than a 7 by 16. You did a terrific job.
This is an exceptional conversion. Homey. Functional. I love your daughter's privacy curtain.
I like how you kept it looking pretty much stock on the outside. Still looks like a normal enclosed cargo trailer! The shower is really sweet as well.
when he opened the bathroom door i was like "holy S theres more?"

Thank you for moving the camera slowly! I often get motion sick with some people's videos. I really appreciate you for that!
This is a great conversion. The upper bunk is especially great. It can be put there even if you don't have a kid. It can be used for storage or if you have a guest that comes out on the road with you. Good job!
Of all of the cargo trailer conversions I have seen, this is the best and most comprehensive build. Clearly a lot of thought, planning and hard work went into it. Nice job sir!
Congratulations! I've watched a hundred Cargo conversion videos in preparing to build my own, and it appears to me that you are the only one that's done it right.

I really like your voice. It’s very calming and I like how in depth you explained everything. I can tell you put a lot of thought into the build.
That's the nicest cargo trailer conversation I've seen on KZread!
This is from a Mechanical Engineer (not me) that used to be an Engineer in a class A motor home factory. "CO is a HEAVIER-THAN-AIR gas. It is a product of 'incomplete combustion', not normal combustion. Your CO detector needs to be mounted below the level of your bed. When CO begins to collect, it will collect on the floor in a layer, displacing the oxygen. The layer will continue to rise as more is generated. If your CO detector is incorporated in a smoke detector that is mounted high up on the wall (as is proper for a smoke detector because smoke rises), it will never go off. For this reason, make sure your smoke alarm is not in the same module as your CO alarm and position each so that they alarm will go off appropriately meaning before the harmful gas you are trying to detect reaches you. Combination CO, propane and smoke detectors are legal but inadvisable. Smoke is light, CO and propane heavy." EVERYONE SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS!
@bigdog7729

Actually carbon monoxides specific gravity is around.5 depending on the number of molecules in the incomplete combustion. It hovers ever so slightly, which makes it dangerous because it sticks around until air current dilutes it.
@bigdog7729

After going back and listening again, its a propane leak detector down low. Specific gravity is 1.5 which will seek it's lowest point and wait for a spark. And co detector is correctly installed high.

You really need to check your information. I retired from the gas company where I live and worked as a service technician. Your engineer friend is misinformed. The specific gravity of CO (carbon monoxide) is .9667 which is ever so slightly lighter than air. Air has a specific gravity of 0.0 which is what all gases are measured by. I think you are confusing propane for CO. Propane is heavier than air. That what makes it so dangerous! It seeks the lowest point and waits for a spark if if doesn't have enough square footage to dilute with air. Ask Google or anything that you trust. These words are true my friend.

Again, your engineer is mistaken. Specific gravity of CO is .9667 which is slightly lighter than air. Most CO detectors are plug, in at least the better ones. Ask Google and you will see I'm right.
Who would thumbs down this sweet little trailer? It looks like home. Well done.
This is one of the best build outs I have seen in a cargo trailer. Very good job bud. I like it.
This has got to be the most perfect (by my standards) build I've ever seen. The layout is great, the quality appears to be exceptional. Near the end, I was wondering "how much does this thing weigh?". Well, you answered that as well. Great job!

Very much what I envision as I gather information. I’m retired and working 7 daysx6 weeks in rice harvest. The same schedule for planting and I’ll purchase a trailer and begin building my forever home. Good job, sir.
Just now seeing your videos for the first time . I have to say . Your build is probably the best I've seen on KZread . Just an awesome job . I think you could make a career out of building tiny cargo homes . I'd sure buy one .
It feels like I've watched approximately 186,000 conversion videos, and yours is, by far, the best. I'm just stunned! It's so much better than similar sized campers. The only change I'd make is trying to figure out where to put another window, but that's just a personal thing. Great work!

Who could not like this. Wonderful clear and concise video highlighting a masterpiece trailer!
Hell - this beats most Tiny House videos I've seen by a mile... especially that bathroom... I love that shower! Seriously, consider that for a single person - it's more spacious than a lot of those tiny builds I've seen, and he fit it in a cargo trailer, with a real bathroom! :)
If the on demand water heater is installed outside (for venting, I suppose), it would need to be in an insulated box anyway. From what I've read, it needs to be protected from freezing temps. Beautifull work & great video! Thank you White Oak 26!
Great setup very nice, you did a Great job! I especially like the shower all one piece. This will sell quickly. Perfect
Great job. Well thought out and great craftsmen work putting it together
Great work! Very thorough and well thought out. Crazy good electronics/wiring job.I'm not a tv-when-I'm-camping kind of person but you are taking a kid so that is important! My ONE honest issue is the towel rack right over the 1800btu furnace vent! You should change that asap so I can sleep at night knowing you are safe and not in flames.
Seriously, who are the 150 down votes from? Trolls, envious and jealous people no doubt.This is the best camper conversion I have seen to date. Better than what camper manufacturers offer. The burner & oven is simply fantastic!
wow, nicely done and so much better quality than a store bought travel trailer in my opinion.I like that you gave over a pretty decent amount of space to the bathroom, thats a nice thing to have especially when traveling with more than just yourself, good to have a place to get clean and/or take a mean dump in peace lol
This is beautiful. So professional. I love the bathroom
Hands down the best Cargo Trailer conversion I've seen, and I think I've seen more than 50 videos on this topic...lol. Great job on this one!!
You've got carpentry / build skills through the roof. OMGosh! I've sold homes with MUCH worse carpentry. EVERY single joint where wall meets a built-in is PERFECTION. Not one single gap. IT TRULY looks like a home inside with such sharp lines and DIE HARD corners, even the paint is to a T. Man! If this isn't your career...and you desired more money... YOU ARE DOING IT. This is beautiful. I don't think I'll see any other conversion made like it, and I've seen MANY over the last few years already. Kudos.
Very nice build. Looks very professional.

Been looking to do something similar. Yours is the best laid-out design I've seen. Functional, organized, and neat.
Hello, This is probably the best use of space inside a small cargo that I've seen so far. Great job! 😊 The only thing I would have wanted would have been just more space for a separate bedroom and bath. So maybe a 18x9. Other than that it's perfect.
This is an amazing conversion! The only thing different that I would do to customize it for myself would be to take out the twin and make clothes storage. You did a fantastic job and I would love for you to do my conversion! 🌻
Very well built and nicely done!!! I liked the way you color coded everything so it was functional yet aesthetically pleasing to the eye. I haven’t seen one done as nicely as yours. Thanks for sharing.
This Canadian is TRULY impressed , WOW brother what an amazing build ,,, You just inspired me to go this route instead of the full bus conversion type of build. It has all the essentials - its P E R F E C T , , , , , WELL DONE :-) .
One of the top examples for design and efficient use of space! Five months to build is impressive! What is the interior height? Is there storage under the bed? The only thing missing is the two hour documentary by Ken Burns on how you built it!
You did an awesome job building this!
By far, the best I've seen! Pure perfection! You've thought of everything. This is the standard by which I would build out my cargo trailer. Congrats on a job well done!
BEST conversation I have seen!! Your very fortunate to have the knowledge on how to do all that wiring. Love the layout...you did an awesome job!!
Very well done, one of my top 3 and I have looked at maybe 75. You also present as a very smart, considerate, measured thinker, and skilled craftsman. Enjoy your handiwork, life is short.
Wow, looks great!! The deep sink and residential shower are *major* plus'. Would love to see a cost breakdown.
Best build out I've seen bar none. After watching hundreds of videos, finally someone who puts a shower and everything one needs to live comfortably. Awesome job!!!
Wow, amazing! I really like the layout of your cargo camper! You've packed so much into a relatively small area. Great work!
I did a little bit of what you did with my 6 by 12 2005 extra height cargo trailer. It's got Shore power like you have and 12 electrical outlets and I had a queen size bed in it, Chester drawers TV refrigerator microwave toaster oven. Didn't have a water hookup but had a porta potty that's lit up underneath the bed that I built up high enough for storage under there. I just used it to pull back and forth to archery tournaments and to hunting camp. Like you said I just remove the plywood insulated the walls and ceiling put plywood back in and then I put real wood paneling on the walls with real wood trim and I tiled the floor
very nice job. I believe you have thought of everything! One of the best layouts I have ever seen on KZread. Nice lighting and cute bath area. I would add only one thing...a 24" roof vent/escape hatch for a second egress point above the beds.

Good point. If you were inside and a car or truck parked right against you, or if a tree fell or whatever. Nice peace of mind. I may look into that for my 6x12.
I'm not an rv/TT owner nor nomadic; still doing my homework on what type of camping avenue I'm gonna go in the near future, so after looking at your video & other cargo trailer videos for the 1st time as of last night, I'm now convinced that this avenue is affordable, easier & better for me being that I still live in a apartment & not ready to become nomadic. I have a V8 SUV so I know it should be able to pull a cargo trailer.☺
For fit, form and functionality yours is the best trailer camper I have ever seen. Congratulations... You should be proud!

Wow man....Stellar build!
Fabulous! Top level quality! You should go into business building trailers!
Very, very well done trailer. This is the gold standard of conversion cargo trailers. Pat yourself on the back and grab yourself a beer, you have earned it!
Thoughtful and functional conversion. A job very well done.
Sweet conversion!
Nice job!
Wow, one of the best conversions I have seen. Neat and clean and everything stowed away. I am very impressed.
I bet I’ve watched a couple hundred of these videos getting ideas for my own and out of all that I’ve watched yours is by far the nicest. I love the bunk idea for your daughter. That was the problem I was stuck on and not knowing where my son was going to sleep and now I have a basic idea I can work from to make him a little loft area that he can have on his own! But again great looking conversion buddy!!!
Super, super nice!! If I had the $20,000. Or more I would definitely buy it. I think it is definitely worth that much.
Extremely nice camper. Well thought out. Looks like factory, but built much better! Will most likely outlast a factory built camper, for sure! Great craftsmanship! Looks like home!

That's an amazing use of space and not crowded looking at all. Usually you can assume if its wide open that there's no room for storage but its all there. Beautiful job esp for a DIY!
really great job, man of mad skills.
It’s a very nice RV with well thought design. It does need an emergency exit window,jvvust in case of door issues. Or Just enlarge one of the two windows.

Especially enjoyed and marveled at your electrical / solar setup. Too bad you had the continuous music in the background. Best left out. Music is highly subjective.
