I've been watching videos of "RENOWN TRAILERS" for at least a year! I recently asked Bill of "I Ride THA" where he purchased his trailer. Awesome to find out that it's the same place as RENOWN!

Just a few weeks before y´all told us about the new trailer, I had requested information from Renown about an 8.5 X 18. I am so so excited to watch your progress. We were going to to sell the house and travel after the kids left but Mark passed from cancer before that could happen. Anyway, I am finally at a place where I have decided to travel on my own and y´all have helped give me that confidence (my income is social security also).

Wow! 70+ comments already! I have my cargo trailer on order through Renown as well. I couldn't connect with Tucker, but Austin King did a great job for me too. Mine is a 7'x14' SA. Perfect for a single guy like me. "Stan, the man"

BTW Bill, I'm will be building mine in Ludowici, Georgia which is only about 30 miles south of Claxton. I would love to visit with you and Deb to see your build in person. Is this "living," or what?

This is the size and dealer I have decided on. Some excellent information and tips.

🗣Is it done yet? 🗣Is it done yet? 😬😅🤣🥴😉 Can't wait to see all the videos of your latest build. I have been considering doing the same, but dragging my feet due to material shortages & crazy price increases. I'm probably just as excited for your project as you are! You'll have to get some videos of Bill standing up in the trailer, so we can see how much head room he has. Bill looks like a tall guy. Best of luck, and enjoy your latest project. I'll be anxiously awaiting each & every video! 🔨🪛🔧🔨🗜🧰🛠

I think that grey will be awesome to decorate, stickers, make your own sticker and sell them, then in your travels you trade stickers! On the roof with the extra supports put all your solar up there! I can’t wait to see what you do with all that space!

I used that flex seal in the can to seal the leaks on my cargo trailer 8 years after i bought it . the roof no leaks now

Very nice! Congratulations!

We bought ours from Renowned in Douglas as well. Conrad was our salesman. We hit the road on June 1st. Can't wait!!!

Congratulations!! Y'all have me believing I want to do this. I spent 30+ years living for my family, now I am ready to live. Douglas, GA is right down the road.

Have to say I like this much better than red.....can't wait to see the finished product, enjoy it!

I cant wait to watch how this is built . Cos even tho I'm a solo female and live by myself and have for over 10 yrs I drive a full size tahoe and intend to do this on a SSI . I'm tired of living in an apt and its boring . As soon as I finish re- doing my truck that is my next idea Cos I fell in love with the idea of cargo trailer campers . Whoever came up with that idea had to be a genius . All y'all have a blessed day.

Great video thanks for sharing be glad to follow an watch your progress the mini-split is a great way to go we did a 6x12 V-Nose an put a mini-split it not only does a great job heating an cooling but it really quite I really like the size of your trailer

I would like to do this with small trailer! On ssdi so limited money!😊🐎

Mitsubishi builds the best mini split. Be aware that The heat pumps are all 220 volts. These are extremely reliable and use very little power. You can get a single outdoor unit that will feed two heads inside. I’m near Leesburg Fl. And would be glad to help with the ac installation if you want.

Go ahead and order the intercom system! That one is so big you will lose each other! Congratulations on your new project and thanks for letting us tag along. I can’t wait! Are we there yet?😃

Very good! I love it!!! Time to tighten up now! And another comment was right. Deb looked tiny standing in front of that huge trailer. The Jeffersons theme song comes to mind.... 😁🤠❤️

This is the size I want. I can't wait to see the videos of your build.

Can always plast-dip later on. Really like that charcoal for a base for the red graphics. Buckeye fans will adore it if you come to Ohio ;)

Looking forward to Debs art being on the new walls and shelves etc. exciting times ahead

Congratulations on your new home you beautiful people! What an adventure, and indeed what a huge surprise the color not being red!

Love the new color and your logo will look amazing against it! Can't wait to see the build.

Goes with your hair Bill.. lol Glad you got the new trailer... Now get busy

Can you tell us the options you got with you new trailer or include that with the price information during your build out? thanks

Congrats on the new trailer & will be looking forward to the build . Sláinte

Perfect timing, we just started our 7x14 build. I got the idea from watching you guys first awhile back. You’re very inspirational and I love your spirit and enthusiasm! Thanks for all the great information you pass along. Good luck!

When you said that was gonna be a big “Reveal “ I thought it was already done.... boy what a gyp! LOL! Kidding of course.... I do however think that you should have kept the ramp at the back to make construction easier. Just a suggestion since you’ve thought everything over already.... looks very interesting

Bill looking forward to this I will be moving into a cargo myself in the next few months I will also be building it’s as I go. Make sure you stay Hydrated when working on your home you all take care

Very nice,,,,,,,,,cant wait to see the new Drop down Bed ...................

What an upgrade! haha eight and a half by 20 dang!!! After watching you guys build your last trailer I had to build a 6 by 12 up... now that you guys are getting the new one, maybe I should upgrade haha more is better? 😉 cant wait to watch this season of "i build tiny homes adventure" .... Maybe tim allen could do a step in on an episode.... and you could have his neighbor keep his head over the fence while you guys are building it and ask tons of questions haha

Bill and Deb , I am so pleased your new journey is coming together , may the road ahead be filled with blessings and may you both work steadfast and complete your new home safely!

Happy that you got your trailer and can't wait to see the build!

CONGRATS. Happy for you guys and looking forward to watching your build.

You will be so happy with the larger size trailer! Lots of work to come! Can’t wait to see final pics!

Good luck! Really interested in the build.

I don’t think you’ll ever regret getting the extended tongue and bulldog hitch. It’s been my preference for years. You’ll definitely appreciate it in some backing situations that could never be accomplished with the standard tongue.

how exciting i found you guys at the right time. I am saving for a 6 by 12 i am half way there. but it will be fun to watch your version of your trailer. happy for you! will keep tucker and renowned in mind when i go to purchase mine! woo hoo

You already gave me a good idea! The crappy wall paneling will be great for flooring! And some of the paneling options will be much cheaper than buying plywood for the floors with current lumber prices! *happy dances* I'm excited for y'all! I think I like the gray, too. And if you don't like it, you can always paint it. :) Congrats on getting the new trailer!!!!

I'm very happy for you two and excited to watch the new build.

Can't wait to see how the inside will be. If you don't mine me asking you how much did you pay for your trailer with all the upgrades you did. I think I might order me one too.

Hey Chuck and Brenda. Nice to hear from ya'll. Hope you both are doing well.

I assume that you have a limited budget like most people doing a conversion but you should seriously consider installing a Timbren axle-less suspension system. You get more ground clearance without the axles getting in the way, can get a 4" lift or drop, and as a fully independent suspension it will pull much better under all conditions. It's something you can install yourself with no welding required.

@billanddeb

3 жыл бұрын

That would be awesome, but that would also mean I'd be pretty much throwing away the optional 5200 pound straight axles I paid extra for in the first place. I can definitely see doing something like that if I intended to take the trailer into rougher terrain, but we have no intention of doing that.

Picked up a 6x12ta back in April,building it to a camper for the mrs and I.

It's beautiful!!

I am so excited for you that you have your new home but you have given me so many ideas I was considering a tiny house but I’m swaying the cargo trailer conversion more no loft not to many steps sin I will soon be 70 on July 3 but I’m still active and I do my one thing and I think it would be a good fit for me so again I’m so excited about this new adventure you will be going on ... I just want out of my hose and away from all the headaches from it and the size people think when you are alone and have all that room you will have space for them well I definitely know how to say NO!!!! So I will be watching which I do anyway to see your place come together be safe as always sending love and prayers your way see you soon ❤️❤️❤️🌈🌈🌈🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🐈🐈🐈

This is awesome, I can't wait to see what you do. I live in a toy hauler that I'm renovating (as time and money allows) and I want to replace my extremely loud ac unit with a mini split. I'm curious to see how and where you install yours.

Do yourself a favor and get rid of all of the blue wire quick crimp connectors.They are trash.My trailer looked identical type build out inside and I deleted all of them and soldered and then heat shrinked every connection.Its time consuming but the last thing I wanted was to be chasing a short in my lights inside the walls.Also I found out the trailing lights up top are mandatory and you can be ticketed for not having them working...aka that's what was shorted on mine.from the factory! Glad to hear ya didn't use snapper trailers...THEY SUCK

Well now since you have to paint it red yourselves, you can add polka dots. Talk about announcing that it's a custom trailer! No factory would be willing to do that. 😊

Step one ... now the real work starts

that is a big trailer

Late to the party here, but when you were planning the design did you have dimensions of the inside of the trailer or did you measure it out after receiving it? Not many trailer manufacturers offer detailed dimensions things like distance from the wheel well to the rear of the trailer or the front etc. Trying to decide on the size of trailer I want.

Wonder how much it would cost to have the sides and front (V nose) wrapped with red. You could leave the back as-is and put your red graphics back there.

@rickstonewall2557

Just a note, looking at how vinyl wrap is done, if you decide to go that way, it looks like you wouldn't have to worry about any additional waterproofing at seams where the wrap is because it goes over rivets and seams and is then heated up as the final step.

She looks so tiny next that trailer. It's going to look great when you get done.

Is that 20 plus the v or is the v included? Looking forward to this build. I used your previous vids for some inspiration for my own.

We've found that good and bad experiences are pretty much evenly matched for any given cargo trailer manufacturer/dealer.
