We love it! This camper started life as a 20 foot all-aluminum Legend Explorer series. All of the cabinets and furnishings were custom built. We added a 6" lift to the trailer to allow us to use a Pro-Pride hitch system. The frame was just too low without it. It sleeps up to 4, but we plan to only use it with 2 people most of the time. We ended up with almost twice as much storage as we had in our old factory-built campers. The final weight was just about 4300 pounds.
Parts and Materials Used:
Trailer - Legend Explorer V-nose 7x21 deluxe with 7' sidewalls, a screen door mounted behind the axle (normally it's in front) and an aluminum step. Purchased from Beck's in Lansing Michigan.
Pump - Shurflo 4008 Revolution Direct Replacement 3 GPM Electric Whisper Quiet Operation Self-Priming.
Antenna - Elecwave 70 Miles Digital HDTV Antenna 360 Degree Omni-directional Reception Outdoor/Indoor Amplified Antenna .
Awning Lights - Dream Lighting 12V Waterproof Awning Lights.
Fridge Vents - Norcold (621156Polar White) Refrigerator Vent.
Access Doors & Latches - Ordered custom sizes from RecPro www.recpro.com/.
Awning - Aleko Awning Retractable RV/Patio Awning - 16 x 8 Feet - White/Black Fade
Tanks - from Tank Mart
Black Water 25 Gallon Side Dump RV Holding Tank with 3” Uniseal.
Fresh Water 23 Gallon RV Water Tank with Standard Fittings Package.
Grey Water 10 Gallon RV Holding Tank with Standard Fittings Package.
Lift Kit - 6 X 2 X 11Ga (.120 wall) A500 Rectangle Steel Tube.
Door Window Upgrade - AP Products 015-201512 Slim Shade
Windows - Vintage Technologies, Union city MI, 12" round portholes, 18"x15" awning windows, 36"x20" horz slider, and 30"x20" egress.

I really want a tiny home and have designed one but can not afford it! Have looked at remodeling various step vans and trucks too. Played with SCA but am now too disabled/weak from almost five years of fighting cancer. So now I can't set up a campsite. But doing this would enable me to attend again. Would just have to get white tarps and paint them to look like a small castle and use ropes to pull over top and tie down all around. Wow, I so WANT one of these. Of course, like everyone else, I would make changes based on my specific needs. Really like the sliding chairs and table. Great for going down the road. I have to laugh every time I see THOWs designed to be moved and they use open shelf storage - yeah, I like packing and moving SO-O-O much that I want to do it EVERY time I move this thing 20 yards! Thank you so much for sharing your great build!

I have watched a great deal of these conversions, and in my opinion, yours is by far the best I’ve seen thus far. I was actually giving up hope in doing a conversion like this myself and wondering if I would have to go another route. Thankfully, those thoughts have now disappeared. We are all different and that’s why we live in different homes with different floor plans. So yes, I would make a few changes to suit my needs, but all in all, this is so much of what I do want. I love the bathroom, the bed area, most of the kitchen, the outside, all of the storage and closet for sure. Now, I just have to get my husband on board. I will be doing the majority of the build myself while he is working towards retirement. My goal is to have it completed a few years before he is done, and I have enough years to do so. And then we are off leaving Alaska to travel the continental U.S. of A. I would also like to use this to travel our state for a few years before we head out. We would use the time to fix all of the bugs that arise and to change anything before we really head off. My husband has promised me a minimum of nine months to travel the U.S., and I intend to make sure he enjoys it as much as I know I will. I cannot thank you enough for reigniting that spark that this is possible and we will be able to have what we need and want. Yeah, the word ‘thanks’ just isn’t enough. You and your video is simply awesome. Wishing you an amazing day with lots of laughter and smiles to come your way.

Wonderful build! The bathroom walls were lovely! So clever to have the seats and fold up table on sliding rails, wish I had your wood working skills. 4:26 - I feel you wasted space with the deep drawers for cutlery, and the knives are better off with a magnetic wall rack. Wall makes reaching for a knife easier. Minor issue. Really awesome to have the back go down as a ramp! This is what makes it different. What a great job you did on this trailer, well done! Took a year of your life, but such a nice space to inhabit on a trip. And the toys come too!
@kimdonaghyrealtor8238
@kimdonaghyrealtor8238 4 года назад
Thanks for the nice comments. We discussed using a magnetic wall rack for the knives, but worried about them falling while traveling. As it turned out, we have so much more storage space in this trailer than any of the larger trailers we have owned that we could afford this space for the knives.
@lass-inangeles7564
@lass-inangeles7564 4 года назад
@@kimdonaghyrealtor8238 Its a personal choice of course. Magnetic racks are very strong. No knife in my house or RV has ever fallen even during long travels. IKEA has them for $10, but Harbor Freight has them for $2 - $5 on sale and sometimes free with purchase. They are useful in that you can reach for the knife easily. Also great for sticking odds and ends on them. Don't put spice jars as these make a mess when their lids come off.

Thanks for some great & clever ideas for our upcoming build. We need more cargo space so we're putting the kitchen & wet-bath forward & an elevator bed will be mounted in the rear. Did you install heat or A/C? I'm having a hard time deciding between a split-air or rooftop system. The trailer we're ordering will be a 7X16 with extra height.
@kimdonaghyrealtor8238
@kimdonaghyrealtor8238 4 года назад
We didn't install permanent heat or AC. If needed, we just bring along a small portable heater. In the past 20-years of camping I think we only used AC a couple times. We tend to avoid camping during the hot times of the year and we almost always go somewhere that has electricity, so the electric heater is perfect.

Hi! Great idea! Who of us does not want to enjoy a long and happy life? Just think how wonderful it would be if we could live forever in health and happiness! We could spend more time with loved ones, travel the world, develop new skills, grow in wisdom, and learn thoroughly about whatever interests us, to our heart’s content. Is such a desire unnatural? Is that desire impossible to realize? What do you think about it?

Very interesting. Not too practical if the motorcycle comes along frequently. At the cost of this build one could buy a complete toy hauler and a used one for less.

The angled front end just makes so much aero sense, now all it needs is vortex generators on the sides, near the rear, to get the airflow reattached on the rear. A gross over simplification, but those squared off rears are really draggy, that drag can also cause squirrelly handling, smoothing out the airflow can improve that also. www.airtab.com/
@kimdonaghyrealtor8238
@kimdonaghyrealtor8238 4 года назад
Yup. I am not sold on the airtabs. If they really worked we would see manufacturers including them on every semi truck. The best scenario would be to have the rear end shaped like a teardrop so the air flows back together smoothly, but that is very difficult to do. You could add something like what the semis use, (those "folding wings") but the expense would negate any gains in mileage unless you drive $50,000 miles a year. The Pro-Pride hitch takes care of all of my concerns over handling. It totally eliminated any sway problems.
@jonsmith2217
@jonsmith2217 4 года назад
My 8200 lb truck at around 70 miles an hour is about 11 miles to the gallon. Doing all kinds of extensive testing at different speeds. At 40 through 44 miles an hour fuel mileage skyrocketed to 42.5 miles to the gallon. And the truck will even get better mileage if I slow down less than 40 through 44 miles per hour. Here's a gas tip for everybody do not let your vehicle idle shut it off always. All tests were with the AC and cruise on that doesn't make much difference. Yes running the air conditioner does burn more fuel but it's nothing like slowing down for better gas mileage. The biggest difference on any vehicle is turning less RPMs at any means possible. taller drive tires, driving slower, higher rear end gears, gear vendors extra Overdrive all this make a difference. And I noticed this guy must have an automatic because shifting is high. Without a load I shift at a 1000 RPMs gas mileage picked up 7 miles to the gallon around city. But for this to work you must have a manual transmission. Shift any manual transmission as low as you can before the engine cutting off of course you'll get better fuel mileage. Also I drift in neutral off of every hill I can. Also I've been in the automotive field for years. higher RPMs = more wear tear and worse fuel mileage. And why the oil companies put ethanol in gasoline. so you will burn more fuel on the technical note. If they cared about clean-burning fuel we would all run gas fuels like propane, hydrogen, methane, gasification and more. We would not run any liquid fuels.

I think I forgot to video the bathroom floor. I made a plywood platform with 2x4 curbs and sealed it all with several coats of waterproof shower pan membrane. Then I applied sheet vinyl flooring and caulked everything in with urethane caulk. Its probably not the best solution but it works and has not leaked yet. If I did it over again I would like to fab it out of welded aluminum or stainless steel.

Awesome build. I’m thinking of ordering barn doors and having my kitchen face out the back like the tear drop campers. You seem to have thought of everything, will this be a weight problem when towing? I was trying to think of a way to even the weight without stressing the trailer frame. Thanks for any suggestions.
@kimdonaghyrealtor8238
@kimdonaghyrealtor8238 3 года назад
I wouldn't worry much about stressing the frame if you order one like mine that is welded aluminum. They are pretty tough. You just need to make sure you keep enough weight over the tongue so it rides better on the highway. That was one reason that I put the water tank and batteries in the front, along with lots of storage under the bed. Good luck on your build.

Hi, very nicely done. I like many features of your build. I saw that your cost totaled $23K, but could you provide a break-down of that for us? Make / model of the trailer? I've been looking for an all-aluminum 7x16, v-nose, ramp nose, rear ramp door. Thank you.
@kimdonaghyrealtor8238
@kimdonaghyrealtor8238 4 года назад
I didn't break down the costs. Sorry. The base trailer with the custom door location and the Deluxe package costs around $12,000. It is a 7x20 by Legend Manufacturing. I picked the Explorer Series because I liked the V-nose and the way the roof slopes down at the front. I doubt it saves anything in gas mileage but it looks cool. I really like that the wood flooring is warrantied for 25 years.

Thank you. Including the trailer, it was still under $25,000.

What do you pull your trailer with?

We have a 2015 Colorado. It pulls very easily with it.

Beautiful build. I like this size trailer. Only changes I would have made are a large battery box, and a second propane tank. Question: Why did you mount the license plate so high?? And one minor criticism: That awful, awful music! Once I realized there was no narration, I muted it. Thanks!
@kimdonaghyrealtor8238
@kimdonaghyrealtor8238 3 года назад
Thanks. Actually there is space for 2 more batteries in the front. The second propane tank would be difficult unless you stack them on top of each other. The license plate bracket was installed there by the factory. I think they do that so the plate doesn't get stollen. Out of reach.

@@kimdonaghyrealtor8238 Thank you! I was looking at the tank mount, and would probably weld up a similar frame beside the first tank. However, for your use, a single tank is probably enough. I've found that the biggest "gas guzzler" in an RV is a propane powered refrigerator, not the stove.

Hi Kim, I am building out a 22’ all aluminum unit. I retired last year & need a project. Did you insulate your trailer. I live in Ontario Canada, don’t really plan on winter camping but want the trailer to be 4 season.
@kimdonaghyrealtor8238
@kimdonaghyrealtor8238 3 года назад
Yes. I added 1" rigid foam in the walls and floor and 2" in the ceiling. It makes a big difference keeping it cool in the summer. We don't winter camp much either but some nights have been below freezing and it stays very comfortable. The floors especially.

@@kimdonaghyrealtor8238 Thanks for the reply. I am going the spray foam route. I built out a trailer for business back in 2015 which had 3” sprayed under the floor, strapped the walls and ceilings and they sprayed 1 1/2” in the walls and ceiling. I live in Ontario and I heated that trailer in our - 15 F winters with an e-heat wall heater (the hydro was about $20 a month.) So I will do the same with this trailer as it will be heated and cooled with a split unit heat pump which provides Air conditioning and heating.

Sure. What format are you looking for? CAD or PDF? The drawing is close to what I actually built but I changed a few things along the way.

We have a small electric heater for when we have shore power and a 1 lb propane tank heater for when we are off-grid.
