Music is solid

Sick. I just got one of these in an auction for $450! 2022. I want to load my jet ski in the back and make it like a toy hauler set up!

Nice work! A couple of ideas. Before adding insulation, rust proof the iron beams. Humidity builds up inside a trailer. Kinda amazing the factory paint the beams all the way. Also seal the aluminum seams from the inside so water can't get in. Something like Flex Seal works well. Lastly, add some silicone paint to the roof. Tropi-cool reflects UV. All the Best!

John Stuart thank you for that intel. I just picked up all you suggested and still I can’t find the insulation panels that I should run with for my 7x16 trailers. Any suggestions?

A chalk line is a wonderful invention for marking material

Looking good.. your doing a great job

Solid work.

Nice job!

First video that make me feel I could do this so far, with an exception to the electricity. Great learning video to make conversion look simple. Thanks for sharing, will save in my notes to follow during my build that I am saving up for.

My thoughts exactly! Except I found a trailer on Craigslist with most done at a better price than what it would be to do it myself. I’ve gotta figure out the bed and bathroom situation, but it’s definitely exciting! I had a class “C” RV and it was in the shop what felt like 8 months out of the year. Pretty sure this is the way to go!

They make a thing called drywall square.

🙋🏼‍♀️hey there! Tnx for having filmed your process- Im just back tracking to your 1st video after seeing your shower build. My YT search for specifically that🚿, brought me to you. Last year I purchased a 7×16 nose tip cargo that is partially wired wth a basic bunk bed set up. A shower/toilet system is a must if I'm to finish this conversion :*) Soooo...I'm selling the 26ft parked seasonal trailer 😁

Man! Get a 4' T square!

We love your build! We converted a cargo trailer into a camper too and then decided we were going to go tiny feel free to follow along to our journey! Enjoy!

I had to remove 500+ steel rivets in bus, in winter. My air tool naturally kept freezing up so had to use a hammer, punch and chisel, your lucky!

Terrific music!!! I find overhead lighting to be irritating within a short time. Under-counter, under the toekick of the cabinetry is less obtrusive.

Nice job, I'm in the process of converting an Interstate 6x10 load runner. I started with the insulation and now I'm wanting to put in an RV style door handle similar to yours. I have the same original door design as your model but I have some concerns about the tension the angled hinges put on the door since I can see the wall flex when I put force on it to get the door to close completely. Does yours have similar tension? Did you drill through the frame to to receive the bolt from the lock?

How is it insured? As a camper or trailer? What about registration? Thanks.

We are also planning on converting our 7 x 14 trailer. I agree with a couple other comments about the music. Too irritating, what I want to hear is your thought process. Give reasons for your insulation choice, electrical design, etc... I am trying to learn from each video I watch..if I have to guess at what is being shown - it doesn't help.

Great built did you use staples or brad nails on the ceiling and what size ???

Nice job where can i buy the same fan you installed , could you please send info thanks .

how far down did you send the insulation, the walls and floor are independent of each other, did you take you take it all the way to the frame, or stop at bottom of floor

I like your recording format, can see what others dont record, so procise. I have watched a lot of videos. If I ever get started will use your video for reference the most for this portion at least. Question to avoid making hole in ceiling would you think the fan could be used on the side of the trailor? Sure scary to cut into ceiling.

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it! It could be put on the side I guess, but most of them are designed for the ceiling. I'd imagine you'd have to do some work to seal it and support it differently though.

Would have loved to see video of you putting that RV latch in :) How is the roof vent holding up? I bought one of those steel vent frames from Trailerplus but I'm thinking about tossing it.

My partner and I are going to be converting the same style trailer soon. Can I ask how deep you were able to make the kitchen cabinets? I have been worried about the space between the front wall and the door.. Also, were you able to insulate the floor?

@befreebuilds

3 жыл бұрын

The cabinets depth varies quite a bit since the wall is curved, but I was trying to make them the standard depth (24.5 inches iirc). I didn't insulate the floor.

Well width and length I guess I’m looking for. My interior trailer width wall to wall is only 69”. I thought for sure it would be wider.

It's around 78 x 61.. just about fits a queen sized mattress. It's a little short, but it squeezes in there okay.

Why didn't you alternate the ends of the shiplap? Instead of having 1 seam of butt joints in the center, stagger them across the entire ceiling. Stronger board to board, and most importantly.. not a visual break.

don't understand why the insulation is not nailed onto the original wood paneling, instead of removing the wood paneling first

your music/noise killed your vid ! Why not just focus on cargo camper project ? Hope will do better in the future best of luck.

its looks so small , a 20ft trailer is much better , this one looks too small !

I hate music in videos...gets on my nerves...just show the build.

Great video yet teaches us nothing. Information please.

Terrible video nothing to learn here, outrageously love music!
