So much work went into this build. All the cutting and sanding. You stayed true all the way, no cheating. Amazing. I love it. It looks like rustic cabin.
Beautiful work! I especially love the use of the pallet wood and the countertop. I'm looking to do something similar, and your video was inspirational. Thank you for posting, and safe travels!
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 cabinet 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.
DAMN Nice Job Brother. Damn Nice. I Could See a Small Shower/Crapper Combo & a Murphy Bed in There & STILL Have Room 4Ur Bike. Hands Down the BEST Build 4A Grand or Really Even CLOSE 2That I've Seen & I've SEEN MORE Than Enuff.😆!! Thnxu Brother & Happy Trails 2Ya!! 💯🤙😶✌️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you! Yeah I decided not to do a toilet/shower cause I'm used to tent camping and didn't need em. I do have a pop up tent shower that works great. I might get a small marine porto- potty but hey there's always the great outdoors lol!
looks nice. I just stained and urethaned the plywood inside mine lol. Had a buddy who works as an electrician run the electrical though metal conduit, installed a plug boxes, switches, outside hookups and motion house light by the door.
Very nice build, I am curious as to the longevity of running all your conduit under the trailer. At least where I’m from that would rot out rather quickly due to seasonal changes. I’m sure in the south it’s not as much of an issue but I’m still curious of how it’s held up during trips
Awesome build!! There’s absolutely no freakin way you only spent $1,000 even if you had every bit of wood for free. All the electrical components and wiring and vent fan, sink, inverter, conduit, windows, heck I’ve spent a couple hundred just on screws with my build. So unless you are a carpenter/electrician that stole thousands of dollars of supplies from your job you’re gonna give poor saps like me the idea we too can do this on the cheap. 😅 for us non electrician/carpenter plumbers that can’t steal from our jobs that’s easily 3k plus the cost of the trailer itself. But definitely a gorgeous build!!
Was thinking the same thing. I do flooring and can handle all the work myself and i would be able to get deals on some of the stuff from trade buddies but I spent $1500 on a battery for my tiny cabin in the woods 😄.
can you break down what you used to insulate? What material was used in addition to the foam boards? Was it on both sides? Did you need to use any glue or just fit and tape on the seems? Im going to re-insulate my aluminum cargo trailer. the builder used Styrofoam and it doesnt stop the suns heat at all. Trailer is a hot box in the sun. even the walls are hot to the touch on the inside,
Not yet. I just did one trip with it and loved it! Got another trip planned in a couple of weeks. I added a TV & sink shelf both made out of pallet wood of course :) Next up is fold down bed. Thanks for asking.
Im late to the party but i did a similar build using western red cedar and barnwood. I remember having a few nancys with there panties in a wad as well. No shortage of haters now adays
No way this was all under $1k. Vinyl floor and ceiling, windows, insulation put you well over $1k. Not including the lumber, wiring, lights, batteries, water tanks, etc. I’m building on right now.
Nope. All materials were salvaged, thrift stores, dumpster diving, bartered, & just stuff laying around. You just have to be a little creative. And of course yard sales. Be amazed what you can get cheap
Warning ⚠️ Using pallet wood. Not only is it a nightmare to separate the wood, BUT, pallets are treated with hazardous chemicals to make them last a long, long time. Sanding, is bad enough, but to use this much in an enclosed space this small... Very bad idea, very bad
$1000 ?? You must be joking. My 12 x 6 cost me $2800 off the lot. That was the cheap part. The electrical system alone was over $2,000. The mattress was $430. The vent was just under $200. There is all the wood and fittings. It continues to cost more and more as it is improved and upgraded. This video is complete bs.
Nope. Scrap pellet wood, scrap 2x4s, thrift stores, yard sales, stuff laying around the house, dumpster diving, discount stores, and bartering. It can be done dude! I did it!
It's a CARGO Trailer!! It's made to carry weight! And for your information I went to the scales and added 700 total pounds! I think it can handle that!
Lmao the same thing my haters told me on my build. I got to the point where I would look at them and be like "ya know,all this work and thought and detail I've put into this build and you think I overlooked weight?" They wouldn't have much to say after that.
