Nice build, but hard to believe you listened to that for two and a half years, even if it was just on weekends. Better man than me. Nine minutes and I'm fried. Thanks

Beautiful build! Heat. I am amazed at how hot bare aluminum gets - In the sun it cannot be touched. I always assumed it would be the perfect reflector, but instead it seems to collect a majority of the sun’s heat. Maybe the lite colored anodized? I need to set some of that in the sun, to test it. However, after friends trying paint and other shading methods to cut the heat buildup on bare aluminum, it is crossed off my list for exterior use. Thank you for the share! You did a really nice job!

so took him nearly 2.5 years to build. not ordinary build with a lot of tooling. great job! i'm DIY in process on 13' x 8.5' jet ski trailer with indoor shower, toilet, skylight, AC on the front trailer 450 watt, shower indoor, kitchen for severe weather, solar 100-400 watts panel; maybe put in futon folding bed sleeps two, can be unfolded for dinner. diamond plating all around and roof. check it out on youtube while in progress. title: DIY mini-camper with indoor shower, toilet, standup room for kitchen, with skylight. this lightweight mini-camper will be towed with my 1964 scout 80. so far i spent two weeks progressing along well since i'm retired and more time to prepare this project. planning to take it for cross-country camp along the wide span of this beautiful country in the USA.

The sink on floor is great idea=As you crawl in its on your knees,if you stepped in you could pivot and sit on bed.. of course bed can't be as wide. could be to 2 pc bed. Sink would still high enough to match axle

The thickness I used is 1/8 inch maghony wood. It is easiest to bend but still have to be careful of bend radius as it can still snap in half

Very Nice build sir ! For several months I have been making plans , adjusting them , sourcing materials etc. for a small trailer build . One thing I've yet to find out , is how/what to use to adhere the exterior aluminum sheet to the wood and not have it wrinkle & bulge with temperature changes . If you have time to answer , it would be appreciated . Thanks Cyril
@felix0921
@felix0921 5 лет назад
Hi Cyril. Thanks for watching. Very good question. I was concerned myself as well hearing what others has said about this expansion with heat and all. My aluminum sheet is only held in place by the external trim molding and nothing else. I was worried that if I glued it down to the wood that it would cause uneven expansion or harsh ripples. Also I live in a fairly moderate climate location where the temperature is more less the same most of the year.

I started mine as well and replaced the 12" trailer tires with aluminum rims 16" car tires. It is light trailer and I asked my local authorities, they set: if you do not exceed drastically the load spec of the tires it is OK.
