How to Build a Portable Fridge Cooler (4x8 Enclosed Trailer Time-lapse) 

Great seeing y'all at Justin's helping with drainage it's nice seeing y'alls friendships! 🤗My brother inlaw owns a company called Fibertec in Spokane WA. They make insulated fiberboard for refrigerated trailers etc. 🤗❤👍

My brother is coming over this weekend. I'm going to show him this video! He and his boys go out west about every other year on elk hunts. This would be easy to tow out there.

We have had a Coolbot walk-in for about 12 years, we love it. And our original CoolBot is still working fine although we have replaced the air conditioner and the sensors couple of times.

We used to use CoolBot in our cool room for our show pigs and show cattle! Those rooms were COOL! Nice job, Jason!

I love this. We are trying to figure out a way to store all of our garden produce since we don't have a root cellar, and we plant a LOT of potatoes, squash, pumpkins, and the like. I think I'll be showing your project to my husband, lol. Great job Jason!

Jason this is really nice and your details to each process is very helpful for a DIY guy like me. Thanks for taking us through the process.

What a fantastic job! Well done Jason. I live in a stone house in north/central Italy. In recent years we have been getting extreme winter weather, mostly rain and more rain with high winds. Since my house is 600 years old at least, eventually the stones get wet, and the cement that holds them together, and the wetness would come through the walls. They dry out in the long hot Italian summer, but I got tired of the annual scrape, plaster, repaint. So a builder here recommended a very similar layered insulation system for the inside of the walls that get slammed with rain the most. He used multiple products in layers, Now, it's dry and nice and toasty in the winter haha.

Well done Jason! You could start a side business building these coolers, portable or stationary.

Great video Jason! I loved following this build.

That's a professional job!! I'd be PROUD of that job!! Well done!!!

Turned out great. Very professionally done.

I love watching all of your "cool" projects! What a great diy project!!! 💖👍💖

I cant thank you enough. This is amazing and such simple process.

Justin. Great tutorial and hints! Thank for your time and caring for us! Happy, healthy, prosperous New Year!

Great video to get ideas from. I will be making one this year 2022. It will be different in the fact that I want it to be removable from my trailer. I will have skids to winch on and off the trailer. It will give me all the options for hanging and storing and I will still be able to keep my trailer.

We were gonna build a refrigerated room in our barn until my wife suggested this very thing! Now it's mobile in case we need to transport cold kegs to an event. Great video. Thanks!

Such a useful build! Thank you!

Awesome video Jason, can see you put lots of thought into creating this cooler.

Great job Jason, thank you for telling us your cost as well.

This is pretty cool. I will definitely be revisiting this video...Thank you!!!

This was one of your coolest builds………….😜

We want to do this as well! Thanks for the instruction!

Happy New Year!! Thanks for sharing!

I'm going back and rewatching the build videos! Ya got m interested in this AGAIN!! LOL

This dude thanks you very much for your help with my walk in build and my cool van build.

Amazing job I love 💕 your videos thanks for sharing

You are an amazing craftsman! So inspired to tackle a complicated project like this myself. This video will help so many people! What a wonderful resource you are giving the world. Thank you for your time, your talent and your spirit! My life has been enriched by following you and your family. There's a reason you are still here! A mighty tool for the Lord!

Perfection. What a nice job.

very helpful. making a fridge trailer for my cut flower farm. Appreciate the help :)

Wow! Great job. Thanks for sharing

Jason, love this idea!

You always do such nice work. It is a pleasure to watch!

Turned out great Jason! Congratulations 👍👍

You are so skilled! Nice.

Looking good Jason!

Just the video I needed brother. Thank uou.

Your talents amaze me. Great job 😘💜💛💜

such a great informative video! THANK YOU For sharing.

You have done a great job

You just forwarded this to me…..awesome!

You're an inspiration!

Fantastic vid, Jason!

Jason, this is an outstanding build and you did an excellent job. Enjoyed seeing you in Justin Rhodes video. So happy you are looking for a larger property but I hope it's not too far away from the Rhodes, Hollars, Art & Bri, etc. 🙂

Excellent job well done God bless you and yours NYC

Thank you for the video brother!

Good job on the refrigerator trailer!

You are so talented

Very informative. Thanks 👍

I uised FRPP in my bathroom 10 years ago and it still looks brand new.

That's fantastic!

Wow! That’s was impressive! Good Job!

Awesome! Thank you for sharing!

Good job very creative

Great video instructions. Congrats 🎈

Jason this is genius 🤗🇬🇧

Amazing build❤

Great Idea

Great job!!!

That's great man. You should install some racks and hangers. You would be able to use more of the space. Cheers. Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic!!

Great Job on that one Jason, Nice Build

Good vibes your way 🗿💕

That's awesome! 💚🌞

Wow! very interesting!

I been thinking about doing this but lacked instruction. Thanks for the great video

Enjoyed that 👏👏👏

Excellent!👍

Perfect

Awesome! 😎 👏👏👏

Commercial cold storage have R-25 or higher insulation.

Very impressive biuld!

Impressive!

Awesome!

Great looking build. You need to put your Sow the Land logo on the side. Free advertising.

Just an outright awesome job Jason. Now all you gotta do is mount two used 400 watt solar panels on it and some super cheap batteries to power the thing year round. You can really find some great affordable deals on used solar panels if you look good enough

Super nice. Well thought out. Blessing, julie

While watching this I wondered 🤔 would the ICF building blocks be a good option filled with Styrofoam. They would be lightweight, air tight, with plastic ribs to screw to for racks, hangers, etc. Thanks for the great ideas, wonderful video 😊.

Great video

Very “cool” video! I’d love to have one of these just because! Sittin’ here trying to come up with a need so we can do it. 😁😇😂

Thank you for sharing! Can you add solar to this trailer fridge as a backup in case of power outage or just to run it on it? Happy New Year! Healthy, joyful, abundant and blessed one! Hugs🤗💖🤗

This is amazing!! Have you thought to hang a track to pull out and hook everything on and hang?

Your video came out we're just letting you know but it's nice to see you guys again when are you moving I want to know I'm one of those nosy ones I'm so excited for you guys

Cool!

THANK YOU for the very BEST education. I appreciate you dearly. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY. I PRAY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES. CHOW from MICHIGAN ✝️✝️🛐🛐🛐🛐🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌹🌹🌹💐💐🀄🀄🀄🀄

Hi.... Jason, thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐕🐖🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍

I built an 8x8 cooler. I tried the spray insulation and man was that an epic fail. Using the winter to make some minor adjustments on my cooler, like adding shelves and more insulation on the door.

Great build. Where are you moving to? How many acres.

This is exactly what I've been looking for! Simple question, how do you plan on keeping it cold while travel? I ask, because I'm looking for similar for all my hunting trips. Longest trip is a 2 day drive for me.

This is really cool Jason. Could you run it off of solar?

Dope

Nice build! I like that you put some D rings on the side. any plans on putting something on the roof of the unit in order to hang meat from? im thinking of doing a small build like this so I can start curing meat, making my own hams, salami, etc. this might be the way to go for us. GREAT JOB!!! keep all the DIY ideas coming!

Good grief Jadon❣ That trailer is going to last to the end of the world existence 😳 Its built to last a holocaust or any kind of catastrophe....I'm amazed by your talents. You are SO confident today compared to 5 years ago. What an inspiration you are to us all....who just watch you😄👍❤❤❤ Bravo señor.

I'm building a walk in cooler in an existing 11x10 bedroom and I installed 4 inches of XPS insulation around the entire wall and ceiling area, and i cut the room in half with a makeshift insulation wall of 4 inches of xps board and two half inch EPS boards on the front and back since there was no existing house insulation on that side so the R value is about 24-25. So the walk in cooler area is about 5x11. I have a 10k btu window ac with a coolbot, and a 12k btu mini split with a coolbot as well in the walk in cooler, but my problem is, the coldest the room gets is about 41-45f on average. I want it to get down to 36-39f. The only area I did not insulate was the floor, since this room is on the first floor with a concrete foundation on the bottom and has wood floors so I figured I could get away with not insulating the floors. If I need it to drop about 5-10 more degrees in this situation, would it make more sense to insulate the floors as well? Or should I go ahead and install another window AC unit like a 15k btu unit? I actually don't need the walk in cooler to be running 24/7, I just need a cold environment on occassion for whenever I am working on processing plant extracts. I watched your first video on the walk in cooler in the house, and followed it and has been very helpful. Thanks for doing these videos!

From the build refrigerator in the Rhodes house to a mobile one👏👏👍👍 which one did you find harder? Have a good evening ❄❄❄

That turned out great. I bet hunters would rent it for their deer.

Nice work! best coolbot build video I have found. How is the securement of the AC unit working? The AC unit moving around while in transport is the one fail point. I am in the process of a build myself interested to hear your long term experience.

Yours seems to be the most recent trailer build video I can find on YT... I'm curious if you actually tow it anywhere (especially at highway speeds) and how it's held up to that?

Now that you have used it, how do you feel about it not being tall enough to walk into? Do you think your pork chilled down fast enough, even though it was lying on the floor rather than hanging? We are trying to decide what to do for a cool room, as paying to hang our home grown carcasses in a local butcher shop's walk in adds enormously to the cost of raising our meat.

What's the biggest trailer do you think a cool bot will support efficiently?

This would be great for folks that sell meat at farmers markets.
