This is a walk around of a nearly two year long project I did. Converting a 7x16 enclosed trailer to a camper/ toy hauler

    The use of the "bull nose" for a split kitchen sink/bathroom is absolutely genius for a multitude of reasons. You saved so much space and material by doing that. Having a real toilet and a real shower is not negotiable for me. Your build is perfect. Congratulations!

    Thank you! I was worried about tongue weight but once it all came together there’s only a couple hundred pounds up there and it really isn’t noticeable when towing it. The shower and toilet were also non negotiable. It’s small but plenty of room to do what ya need

    As one who has yet to attempt my own build, to me, it is easy to see how well thought out every detail had been. I do like how you had winterized the bottom of your build in case of wanting to use it in colder temps whether it be hunting, traveling to our northern friends and/or of you already residing in one of these areas. Aw hell, I just want to say, damn well done! Thank you for taking the time to show us, well appreciated. Be well, stay smiling and have a hell of a lot fun with your new build.

    Very very nice! I have the same size trailer that I’m in the process of converting and need this bed system badly. I’d pay to get this bed system installed if I could, as I’m afraid I’d mess it up or the trailer for sure. It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for after finding out the Happy Jack bed system is crazy expensive. Your design is simple, neat and effortless, I like that. You’ve done a great job, if you could give details on bed system that would be greatly appreciated and or if you’re willing to build another one for sale I’d be a customer for sure. I have the same awning as well, love it. Great job again, very nice!

    Thanks I appreciate the kind words. It took a lot more time then I anticipated. The bed idea is really pretty simple it’s the fact the trailers are built so poorly that made it difficult. This trailer has 1x3 steel skeleton behind the walls that support the bed, awning, and air conditioner. If I knew how to edit a video I’d make some sort of time lapse with photos I took during the build.
