Not enough lol 😂🤣 This video is not sponsored by any company but we may get a small percentage of purchase made through the Amazon links provided. If you find value in this content, We certainly do appreciate you supporting the channel by purchasing through the Amazon links provided. Kevin is so detailed in his tour and explanation that he and I wanted to be sure it is easy to find the parts and pieces weather they are purchased on amazon or through some other company. While creating this video, I tried searching his parts and had terrible results. A huge thank you to Kevin, who was kind enough to take time out from running his company to provide us all with a detailed list of his actual purchases. 👍😃👍

I love the red appliances. I have cut 4inch memory foam for the hide a bed in our spare room. Bought an electric knife at a thrift shop. Just draw a line in magic marker and cut. Let the knife do the work and don't try to speed it up and it will work great.

I live on disability and can’t afford that awesome trailer. But I have a 2005 7x16 cargo trailer I converted. I’ve been living in it FT since November 2020. My side door on my trailer is 36 inches, and with it being 7 feet wide I have an adjustable twin XL bed which I use as a couch during the daytime.

Great tour. Thanks for sharing. You can tell he takes great pride in finding th we best option for his needs. Great use of a dock ladder. I can see the ramp door with fold out legs to make a nice porch or even as a clean off or work area on bikes etc out of the dirt. Looked at the itechtrailer site could not find pricing. My rough guess would be in the $7k range? Any thoughts ?

Aluminum wheels - big mistake! Torsion axial - big mistake! Like the ceiling height. The wall plywood acts as a lateral structural component to stop the wall from going out of square. Of course the side walls may have been built strong enough for vertical plywood wall seams. One horizontal sheets are better for lateral structural integrity because it would span all of the vertical trusses. Vertical sheet are ok but you loose a bit of lateral wall load strength. An example is to slam a wood pallet down on its corners one at a time. The nails will loosen and it will be come easy to take apart. A wooden pallet with a continues sheet of plywood on top and bottom will be much stronger. Dump the cigarette 12-volt crap and get a smaller 12-volt connector. Those cigarette plugs should be outlawed along with cigarettes. Good curtain and bed setup. I use foam padding on a cot for my bed at home. It is very comfortable when you find the right combination of various foam. Any fuel line inside must be in a sealed cavity, and a cavity drain to the outside. There are many ways to do that. Remember the Ford Pinto, and the pickup trucks of the 1960's with the fuel tank in the cab and I think the Gremlin. None of those designs are considered road worth today.

I live in El Centro, California--not too far from Quartzite, Arizona. ANYWAYS, THOSE BOYS WERE TOO BIG FOR ME! After that, I lost 100 pounds and decided to join the Navy. THAT FELL THROUGH TOO!
