Did we enjoy your project??? YES!!! Did we stand in awe of your planning and execution? YES!!! So, how long did it take you to plan all of this out? DAYS!!! What a great job, Brandon, and that will serve you for many years. And, doing all that for half of what it would cost to buy it already done??? PRICELESS!!! Be well, be safe, be Blessed!!!
Thank you so much Jim. It's been a lot of planning and trial and error and I'm really loving the finished job. Now to see how it does on a long trip :) Be blessed buddy!
Very Kwel setup !! Camera is a plus!! Myself being deaf would help me watch what’s around me… probably want something like this for my Goldwing trike! Love the tire inserts….. when can I pick it up!!!!?? 😂😅…. Great job touring your work!!
Awesome job! Voice of experience here - Mice will climb that shore power cord like a ladder! If you want to keep them out then get a very snug grommet or just wedge a thick sponge into the gap while on shore power.
Congratulations on a job well done, and the total cost was well spent! You gotta be proud!! That is a sweet trailer!!! Thanks for sharing that journey with us Brandon. Im looking forward to the next one.
AWESOME job! Love the final product. It would be great if you could show us what it looks like loaded out in the two different configurations, (toy hauler, welding). Also, what is the floor made of? It looks great. If you made a video showing the floor installation I must have missed it. Maybe you could do a follow up video after you use the trailer for a while and comment on how things have worked out to that point. Also, things you might decide to add after some experience with it. Thanks for all of the how to tips and great ideas.
Thanks man and all great suggestions. I will be updating for sure. As for the floor I did it off camera just because my channel tends to suffer when I stray from welding videos for too long and I didn't want to turn off my viewers. The floor is commercial vinyl. It's. 115 mil thick and resists gas, oil and acid. Its made by husky.
Great job Brandon, looks great too!! Thanks for sharing the project with us, it has been interesting watching all of your work. I especially like the cameras you've mounted for backing up and the one inside the trailer will give you more peace of mind after any bump in the road too. Excellent work , stay safe and enjoy the job well done. Fred.
This trailer turned out awesome, all your hard work paid off, please find a way to secure it from being stolen, maybe hide a gps tracker in it, damn thieves will try and take it, really nice job Brandon 👍😁❤️
Funny you mention that. I'm looking at trackers as we speak and I'm going to put stickers on it to deter them. If they steal it knowing it has a tracker then they deserve what they get lol
That should definitely work! Looks very professionally done and it has accessories that you wanted. I thought you said at the beginning that you were going to put cabinets above the workbench? Those 3 cabinets you have, i too bought one at Christmas, wasn't crazy about putting it together though. I put my welding jacket shirt in there with my welding gloves and I also bought leather coverings for my shoes. My new Rew Wing boots were taking a beating from the splatter.
Thanks Jake. I was planning to do cabinets above, I still might but i'm not sure it's going to give me the depth of storage I was hoping for due to the slant top and V nose. I'm going to have to give it a little more thought, maybe even make a template to see how much room I could get.
Wow, Great build. Loved watching the process. I just bought a TIG welder and I am anxious to learn aluminum. You did a great job and the finished product is awesome!
G’day from Down Under. Job wel don Brandon That is a really good trailer you have there. I really liked the camera setup and the small aluminium cabinet wit the paper towel dispenser. Have a safe enjoyable trip mate.
Wow, what a great rig! I had visions in my head as to how it was going to look when finished. ( I know you said you still have a little tweaking left) But Wow, It is spectacular. It also looks like your weather has warmed up a bit. Can't wait to see how your first adventure with it turns out. Safe travels Brother!!!
Hey Brandon, faaantastic work man, so beautiful, ingenious and useful and that for less than half the factory price. I wish you a lot of fun with it and that you can also earn good money with it. You are a topper and a craftsman 1st class, very nice weekend with the family and take care of yourself, kind regards Christian.
Fantastic Job Brandon That sort of trailer here in Aus would cost as bare trailer close to AUD$20K (USD$ 13.5) ad how you have it set up an easy AUD$30K minimum (USD$20K) On the ramp are you going to put some slip resistant surface as that Diamond mat can be very slippery when wet.
Thanks man I appreciate it. Yes I'm dong the same thing on the ramp as on the floor except I'm doing it in a contrasting color / black inspead of the grey.
Absolutely spectacular! Amazing build. I hope you have a fun, exciting and safe trip. Your 7 in 1 yeswelder was made for that trailer. Just my opinion 😊
Very nice job on the trailer Brandon! It takes a lot of thought to have a project come together as well as you did it. Love the inside with the cabinets and storage ideas with the lighting and all. You really got a hell of a deal on the trailer. I was just looking at tires for my trailer yesterday so I will check those Hercules tires out before I buy because I was looking for the higher speed rating you have with yours. Good luck on your trip!
Thanks man! I did a lot of research on this too. The tires that were on it originally from the factory were C rated and had a speed rating of around 70 mph which that concerned me. I also researched the goodyears which are a great tire but they are an E tire so super stiff ride and they werent speed rated much more than the original C tires. These Hurcules are D rated, a little heavier duty than what came on it from the factory but they are the highest speed rating you can get (or that I found) in an trailer tire. These are N speed rated which I think is 87 mph. They are made in China but I have confidence in the lady that sold them to me. I will tell you more in about 9 days. I will have traveled about 3,000 miles on them and hopefully no problems. She compared them to the quality of Carlisle as I said in the video so we will see. I wasn't really concerned with price, but rather I wanted a really good tire that I could drive long distances without problems. I will report back soon.
Excellent setup, and a great presentation. So jealous :) One thing I'd recommend you install (assuming you haven't already and just didn't show it) is a good quality first aid kit. Otherwise, good job, and thank you for sharing.
@@BrandonLund It might cost a bit more than those you can get from places like Home Depot or Walmart, but consider looking up an online restaurant supply store. Those tend to cover a multitude of issues. Also, also consider getting a little squeeze bottle to serve as an eye wash (any basin will serve to collect water).
Good call. That was my concern too. I pulled all 4 wheels and drums as soon as I got it just to be sure. It has a dexter axle and I read if you put too much grease in them it can blow out the back seal and get grease onto the brakes. For that reason I stripped everything, used brake clean, lubed the auto adjusters and repacked the bearings. Everything looked good but now I know for sure it's right and it's a relief for peace of mind.
Excellent build but then we expected nothing less. Does the back door drop down for a ramp? If you paint it black it will be very hot after sitting in the sun for a bit. Good luck on your trip!
Great build Brandon! What was the trailer brand and model you initially bought? I like the 16" on center walls and floors, not easy to find in todays crappy mass produced trailers.
Thanks man. It's made by a company called Neo. The model is NAVR. The thing that sold me was the round top slant roof. It's constructed of a one piece sheet while all the other trailers make their roofs flat. This trailer roof is arched so snow, rain and ice don't pool up and cause problems. They are super well built if your looking for a trailer it's hard to beat the quality.
Brandon your project is Awesome. Great job. I appreciate all the details you covered. Very helpful. Thanks I am interested in your wireless camera system. With everything closed up on the trailer does the signal ever dropout, or become noisy. I'm concerned in the aluminum box blocking the signal to the monitor. Thanks, Dan
@Daniel Rapoza not at all. I was concerned at first if the signal would broadcast though the inside of the trailer to get a crisp picture but it's not even a concern. It works flawless. I can drive up the road hundreds of feet and still see inside the trailer. It never flickers or gets jittery and the best part is that it's simple!. I turn on the switch to turn on the cameras and the monitor links up to them instantly without touching any buttons or anything. If your like me and like things to be hassle free without drama, this is hands down the setup you want. It's easy to install, super user friendly and the picture is 1080 HD so you see everything. It's a little pricy but it's worth every penny I promise. I spent months researching camera systems (wired and wireless) and this system came up every time the clear winner.
@@BrandonLund Awesome... Thank you for the detailed reply. Stay safe out there and enjoy your 3000 mile trip. Hope to see some video upon your return. Dan 👍
Thanks man! We made it safe to our destination and I will be uploading for sure. Had a few mishaps along the way but nothing that can't be fixed...of coarse it's on video too lol (to be released when we return lol
Hi Brandon, I'm curious what you chose for your toy hauler battery? It turns out that my toy hauler battery that I have had on my NOCO charger all winter is NG. Sad, because the NOCO charger that should have kept it fresh has indicated it was fine. Nope. Completely Dead... I need a new battery, and where you just setup your rig I'm guessing you may have done a little research for your battery choice. Thanks again for your help. 😊 Dan
Hey Dan, that was probably the one thing I didn't research. I just ended up going to ORileys and buying a lead acid car battery. The battery I used is for a 2013 Toyota Corolla. As of this post I have traveled 2k miles and laid over 7 days without any shore power connected using the interior 12 volt led lights and having the cameras powered all day and the battery is full using just the power provided from the tow vehicle. I think this battery was a good choice for power vs weight.
Ebay! Gotta love it. I'm super happy with it also. www.ebay.com/itm/385155406426?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=pyakiyTHQUu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=9BtnOH64Srq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

@@BrandonLund that turned out nice, think one like that be 25k.or more. U say u got right at 10.and time. Man real good. Yeah it's play time then back to grind.
Sorry about that. I usually don't forget that stuff. Here is the link and I also just added it to the video description. Thanks for asking Haloview BT7 Camera System amzn.to/3nP71bn Second Camera amzn.to/3Gi24yd
I'm tell you what you did ole buddy. U didn't move ur thumb in time 😮 ouch. Small small drill bit or hot needle guy that know wack them fingers drill nail use other hand don't need drill or heat needle melt through it. Get pressure out from under it feels so much better. But really move them digits it hurts.
ANd that was from this winter! That darn snow blower decided to eat a shear pin and I was trying to beat out the broken piece when it was below zero. My hands were so cold I couldn't feel them as I was holding the pinch and WAM! Slipped and wacked my thumb. It was pretty painful once it warmed up it had it's own heart beat
