Time to install the windows on Nikki's new 6 x 10 cargo trailer! It's not that difficult if you know how to measure twice and cut once... We'll show you how to take the measurements on the inside, transfer them to the outside and layout the lines for the cutout. We cut all the layers at once, i.e. outside skin, insulation and inside paneling. This would be the same procedure on a van or any other type of RV.
These windows are available here through Amazon:
12"x22" opening window with screen: amzn.to/2QbU2Aj
6' wide screen for back door: amzn.to/2Qh1Dd5

Loved this video. I cracked up when you covered your eyes and said “here?” 😂😂. Nikki & Dusty’s trailer is so cool. It’s wonderful to have supportive parents. Whenever I mention the idea & dream of living nomadically, my dad says I want to be a bag lady & is very discouraging. Tells me I come up with crazy ideas. I know he means well & wants the best for me but I need ppl who will support me even if my lifestyle & dreams do not align with what they want me to be. Anyway, excited to see how their trailer turns out😊👍🏽

@gonagain 4 года назад

If you are interested in living nomadically I think you should try it. You can always go back to sticks and bricks whenever you want! Well, there is an exception... If a person sells a house and then spends the money on a new RV and uses the rest of the money to live on, then change their mind and want to go back, they have nothing to return to. If you decide to do it out-of-pocket, with a less expensive outfit (like a TON of people have done), then you can pull it off easily. I say follow your dreams.

Gonagain Thank you!😊Yes, that’s exactly what I want to do! I own a home & my son is in college. He graduates in 2022. My plan is to take an intermittent retirement for one year & live on the road. I don’t want debt so I’m currently saving for one year of expenses on the road & I plan to buy a minivan & configure it to live in. This is why my parents think I want to be a “bum.” They simply do not get it. 😔 My dad says I should keep working so I’ll have a decent retirement. He worked until he was 65. Now that he’s retired, he can’t really do anything because of health issues. My parents stay in the house glued to the news all day. That’s not a life I want to live. I don’t even watch television 😃

@Edsrandomthingschannel9295 3 года назад

Nice work on the window install and your other projects, good methodical planning. I'm glad to see someone besides me using a jig saw with a fine tooth blade. So many other vids use a cutoff wheel which in my opinion throws sparks everywhere, is prone to slippage and leaves a rough jagged edge that can cut the the rubber seal but mostly, it just plain looks bad and amateurish. In my cargo trailer that I wanted to still have the option to use as a cargo trailer, I had to do a little more planning and go slower because I have three rows of E-track on the side walls. Low, 12 inches from the floor; mid height; and up high, 18 inches down from the roof. Which made installing insulation a lot slower!

@jimv.661 4 года назад

When you have to lines come exactly together, aren't you supposed to drive a golden spike or something? I'd be lucky to have my cuts within 1/8"

@jackfinucan9785 3 года назад

Today I installed the two windows in my 5x8. Vintage Technologies 14"x21" windows fit perfectly between the 16" center wall studs; opening is actually 14.5". I've done van windows/sunroofs in the 1970s and sailboat ports/hatches in the 1980s so this wasn't a total unknown. I made a template for the first one and the hole was a bit small. Second one I used the frame as the guide and it popped right in. The self tapping screws didn't like the window frames so I pre-drilled all the holes and then they zipped right in. Neoprene gaskets on the window frames but I also put silicone around the outside as there were small gaps at 3 places. Suddenly, it doesn't look like a cargo trailer anymore. Your video was a big help.

@artest7 3 года назад

OK... I'm ABOUT to make my first cut. into my trailer's skin! 🙁 But, before I do may I ask you one more question please? Should I cut the 15"(15"x24" window) wide part of the hole right in the middle of the 24" On-centers leaving 4.5" gap on each side? Or, cut closer to one of the 1" frame rails to support the one side? How did you do it? Looks like u cut right in the middle. That being the case, did you have to make wood supports around the frame of the window or just used the plywood as support? I would gladly pay you (or anyone) that helps me! Thank you! Art

@gonagain 3 года назад

Hello Art, happy to help. You'll see that we also cut through the 1/2 inch interior paneling and that's what gives the window the necessary support without having to add any additional wood. And, yes, it just happens to be right in the middle in this case. With the foam sandwiched in between it's plenty stiff enough.

@pjf7943 4 года назад

OMG..!!! You are the first builder I have seen who actually knows how to vapor barrier his trailer..!!! Smooth, moisture impenetrable insulation surface facing the interior, with a vapor barrier tape (aluminum tape) sealing the exposed joints.. 3 mil plastic roll sheeting over the insulation will also fair well if you can install it... This proper method prevents the interior moisture from passing through/behind the insulation and condensing on the cold metal surfaces creating rust & mildew.. This allows the moisture to remain inside the habitable/heated area, the same as any home, until you open passive/power vents to remove it.. BRAVO..!! LOL! Want to lessen interior moisture buildup..?? Stop Breathing..!! Estimating where the windows should be doesn't cut it... A scale plan should be drawn BEFORE windows are installed..

@Nathanallenpinard 7 месяцев назад

There seems to be a debate that some kind of framing needs to be put when doing windows. Whether that be a 2x1 or something on the inside. Question I have is, did you do that or think you might need to? And what did you do with bigger windows such as a 2x4' or something (if you ever did that)

@gonagain 7 месяцев назад

I wouldn't put any wood in the wall because of the possible condensation and rot, but I've seen where people have welded in extra framework to make the wall more solid when installing larger windows. If you cut a vertical frame, then you would install a horizontal piece to tie the cut ends together, like framing around a house window. It's one of the main reasons we went with these small windows because we didn't have to cut any framing. Others have said that if you're only cutting one vertical frame it's no big deal. Whatever you do, don't use wood.

Hello JJ 2021. No, the inner frame screws to the outer frame. It's important to buy a window that's made for the wall thickness of the trailer you're working on.

@TheAmericanWanderer Год назад

Nice Job.... I am in the process of converting an 8x16 v-nose cargo trailer into an RV and Mobile Sign Shop. I am just starting the walls and cabinets construction. I just sold a 15-passenger shuttle bus that I lived in for 3 years and traveled out west during the winters. I had to sell the shuttle bus because I purchased a large format color printer to make contour cut decals/stickers, koozies, t-shirts, magnetics, banners, mousepads, etc. The large format color printer would have taken up a lot of storage space so I needed to get something bigger. I did a complete conversion series on the shuttle bus from the ground up and now am doing a new series on the cargo trailer conversion. They are on my YT channel.

@gonagain Год назад

That 8x16 will make a nice rig for your needs. Look back in our videos to see the 8x16 that our friends travel with (February, 2023). It might give you a good idea of size to see how they did theirs. I just watched your last video and it's looking really good!!

@ernestpaul2484 3 года назад

As always you have a great deal of influence on decisions being made in regard to my 7x16 enclosed. I guess that means you have elevated to "Influencer" status from just a prolific and practical RU-vidr. I have the windows and I have the tools on hand (really need to get a new corded jig/sabre saw) to begin surgery on the side walls and the personnel door. My question is what type of blade did/do you use in cutting the opening for the window? A metal or close tooth wood blade? Also, I will be cutting thru one 1 x 1 1/2 rectangular steel tube frame upright as the wall windows are 15x24 horizontal and a 15x24 vertical for the door. I will be so glad to see some progress on mine as opposed to the acquisition phase of items and parts. Thanks and happy trails.

@gonagain 3 года назад

I was using a high quality metal cutting blade that was the longest one I could get. Make sure you have a few on hand before you begin. On my steel cargo trailer I also remember resorting to the Sawzall to get through the steel supports, but a saber saw will do it with the extra blades on hand. Like I mentioned in the video, don't push the saw along or the blade will wonder off course and ruin the cut. Go easy.

It is fantastic that Nikki has adopted the same style of camping.

She used to have a tent trailer but wanted something easier to heat and hard sided for our bears.

Great job on this trailer. What is the price of those windows you guys put it in.

@gonagain 3 года назад

These are the windows we've used. It's important to order them according to how thick your trailer wall is. It looks like they start at around $110 each: amzn.to/37rT0W7 If you buy it through my link I make a small commission, but the price is the same for you.

great job, how much do the 12x24 cost? cheers

@gonagain 4 года назад

On Amazon they're $104 including shipping. Here's the link through my Amazon Associates page (no extra charge to you): 12"x24" opening window with screen: amzn.to/3gv3FRT

Well done Rick, your a good dad. Measure twice before you cut or as in my case I think I measured for my windows 4 or 5 times LOL Have a great week.

@gonagain 4 года назад

Was just thinking about you. I hope you guys are doing well.

@explorer867 4 года назад

@@gonagain Were doing well, thank you for asking. I installed the Dexter axle flip kit on the trailer several days ago and picked up 5 1/2" additional clearance, 19" overall.

@jonathanbrazeau970 3 года назад

thanks for sharing this, If you have thicker walls, could you not make this work by using larger screws? obviously there would be a little extra gap between the window trim and the window frame... Also, will you be putting cladding on the OSB? if you did put cladding on, I'm assuming you would put the window trim on the outside of that...??

@gonagain 3 года назад

Hi Jonathan, you can order these windows for various wall thicknesses to accommodate what you have. My daughter is just going to paint the walls that she currently has and not put in additional paneling.

@jonathanbrazeau970 3 года назад

@@gonagain ok, makes sense, yes, it looks like motion windows does custom window builds. Thanks for the reply! enjoy your travels sir!

_Nice job, and windows. I have a couple little saying/ tools that drive people crazy if there a small goof-up on anything. 1) Nothing 1/4 inch caulk can't fix! 2) Hell, can't see from my house, it good! Just saying, those are the most important tools to have in your bag! : )_

Those sayings are handy. Here's one: "The difference between a journeyman and an apprentice is that the journeyman knows how to cover up his mistakes".
