That was a fun couple of days, working with the family!

It's nice to see a family working together. Always fun when you do things together and not rush things plus you don't have to do everything yourself. Looking good so far. We hope your tomorrow is better than your today was.

My old man was like this guy knowledgeable and kind , I miss him a lot , your lucky girl. Great show all of you and happy trails.👍🏻🇨🇦

Thanks for showing all your hard work! I live in SW Montana and anticipate buying this exact size cargo trailer to convert for camping. Please continue to show all your modifications as they are so helpful.

I’m getting ready to purchase a 7x16 all Aluminium tandem axle trailer myself and this video series is so helpful and I will be watching !!!

The more i see of these toy haulers the more i like them.. Lot of pluses there , cost is right , easy to park , easy to tow and gives one all the protection from the elements one could ask for .. There is a lot to be said there in my book .. I have a couple friends that went that direction and made the conversion to RV.. Why not i figure , it's the best of two worlds it looks like to me ..

Thoughts and prayers for you and Linda with the healing of her ankle and the renewed faith to get back on the bike 🚲

Always Awesome to see a family get together and team tackle a project that helps someone in the family out! Looks like youve inspired another generation of boondockers😁

Beautiful Family!

You have a beautiful family sir. Thank you for showing me how to go about insulating a cargo trailer.

You guys could make a 1 hour video and it still would not be enough. Love you guys, come back soon!

Your dad and family did a GREAT JOB on insulation. I took lots of notes. NOW if I could just get my cargo trailer to Montana and your Dad's house. LOL.... Blessings

That's going to be a nice little getaway camp trailer. Very nice that it's a family effort.

I have been watching quite a few videos as I am preparing to buy and convert a trailer for living space. This video series is by far the best I have come across.

Hello neighbors & fellow travelers! I love your content, it's both refreshing and practical. Keep up the good work!

Good you had helpers! I'm 68 and lifting ceiling panels was killing me until I bought a used drywall lifter. It was my "third hand!"

Nice work! What a great family. You raised them right! Such great progress. Thanks for sharing!

Kids have a great leader!

You have been blessed with a wonderful family. Thank you for your video's.

Nice family project.

You guys are great. I am slowly but surely acquiring the "thru wall/roof" items for my 7x16 enclosed. I want to have all the items installed so the 1" x 1 1/2" rectangular tube reinforcement pieces can be welded in before insulating and re-paneling. It will only be me doing the work as it stands now and it is rather hot here in NC right now. We also have the obligatory afternoon summer thunderstorms that show up like clockwork. Since at 62 in heart failure and not doing well in the heat and humidity, late fall is looking good to me. Thanks for sharing your family time and all of the videos you have put so much effort into.

How exciting-loved you & Linda! Wow-loving the family together even more. Will be eagerly waiting for windows & vent. I thank you all for allowing me to go on this adventure ! Gods blessings

It's best the kids do most of the work. They will take pride in their accomplishment, and they'll have first hand knowledge of how it was all put together when the time comes that something needs fixing/tweaking. Look forward to the windows and other plans they have for it in future episodes.

What an ornery laugh when he was interviewed, LOL. Family time on a project creates great memories too. Appreciate the video, thanks!

Looks like you guys are doing a fantastic job, thanks for sharing. 👊👍😎

Fun watching your family all work together. Helps to see it from the beginning. I like the way you insulated the floor. Have seen people lay it on the inside and cover with plywood, but then you lose some ceiling height.

Great seeing the family working as one, as we ought to work. Congratulations and thank you for sharing.

Cool video. I love the family working together.

Such a beautiful family...bless your family with peace...so fine to see...glad you shared...thanks...🤗

Thank you for giving the reason behind your decisions. Great tip on sealing the inside so moisture does get to interior side of metal siding causing condensation. Also liked that you included a segment on the floor insulation process.

Another great video! We're just getting ready to pull the trigger and actually get our cargo trailer, so this is just at the right time! We really appreciate those who have done a build-out freely sharing information and being so specific. ~ Kir in Tennessee

I enjoyed watching you all working, more than I'm going to enjoy insulating my Haulmark trailer conversion. TAKE CARE..

I’m picking up a new 7x14x7 this week. Going prep it for a trip to Western Montana in August / September. I currently live in Western North Carolina but graduated from the University of Montana. Looking forward to visiting old friend and going back to Glacier!

Yup we used foamboard and that tape too when we did ours. Awesome you have so much help. I need to get caught up on these vids. I'm behind.

Excellent.

Very nice work.

Such a lovely family. So glad I discovered this channel. Cheers from northern the Minnesota/ Canadian border 🌲

Really nice to have so much help to supervise. You are doing a great job of supervision ... like you, I love work ... I can sit and watch it for hours! Great family activity!

Hi Rick, Hello Linda. Yup, I'm watching this build for the second time. I find it Fun and it helps me to remember certain things that I did on my rig, as I didn't take notes while building mine. So it's kinda double-duty to watch & write down the steps used etc., and log them into my build diary for future reference. And, it's good to see Y'all being nice and working together so productively. 👊 Today is 3/13/23 👋

Good job.

I just got my trailer 2 weeks ago and they had insulated it and was using it as a camp trailer just like you do. It is a 6 X 10 single axle and they put a FAN, three lights and TWO windows! It also has TWO 6 volts 235 AH golf cart batteries! I will add a 25 watt HF solar panel to charge them back up. There is a platform for a 6 X 6 bed or then flip it back up for ATV of motorbike! But this hot summer in NV (98* EVERY DAY) it is just going to be a storage. I can't wait to try it out! I Hope she has fun too!

Good video. Cargo trailers make great campers.

Another great video sir. Great family project.

Super cool mom, fantastic family. Enjoy you build, and many enjoyable yrs with your toy.

Keep posting! The pace of the video and the knowledge shared is great. Thanks!

This is a labor of love. Enjoy the project.

As a construction professional with 30 plus years under his belt let me tell you that your shinny side in or out theory is right on. I used spray insulating foam on the underneath, I’m not as dedicated as you are. Lol, great job

Enjoy hearing about what you did when you were younger. IT IS "TIME FOR LUNCH" for me too!

This video is very interesting. I would have not thought too much about the type of insulation, but someone recently told me that "foam" type insulation is bad for human health. I haven't done any deep research on that yet, but apparently some of the chemicals used are pretty bad. So I was happy to see that you used different materials for this. Love seeing the family teamwork most of all! I think all of us would love to see that sort of family engagement.

So glad to see Linda is back in action. MGB

HEY! That trailer is exactly the same as the one I just bought. Same brand, color and size. It's really great to see what the skeleton looks like before I start tearing in mine. Nice family you have there. And a great informative video!

It's still applicable today. Great job

The hinge bolts should be *carriage* bolts not bolts with hex heads on them. If the insulation fills the gap completely then it does not matter as much which side the foil is on but mine was a little thinner than the space I was filling so you put the foil facing the gap (inside) so it REFLECTS heat back in. If it's touching the outside metal wall it CONDUCTS which is what you try to avoid. But as a rule it goes against the wood which is a lower mass than the aluminum skin so it wont conduct as much. So you did it right . . . :o) You always do great videos . . . always plenty of food for thought.

Thanks for sharing. It's a lot of fun we have enjoyed building ours.

Hi! I suggest adding a layer of the quarter inch Foamular fan-fold insulation that's designed for re-siding jobs to eliminate the direct heat conduit through the trailer's skin and frame. It will help with noise as well.

Thank you for teaching me how to do my upcoming project.

Very nice family job . Hard working family .

Great video. How exciting your daughter building out her own trailer. It will be fun to watch the whole evolution of her build. You are planning to document the whole process? Hope so. Keep up the great work. In the meantime, have fun, stay safe and stay healthy!

Loving your vlogs! Great advice, locations and style.

Great Channel! Great Montanans too!

A lot of FUN work as long as you're not in a hurry. Sometimes just sitting IN the trailer, having a beer, just thinking of what you can live with OR what you can live WITHOUT!!!! There are a lot of things that can be added as time and MONEY ALLOWS!!

Good stuff.

This channel is great!! This couple really seem to know what is what

Beautiful family! You guys work well together!

Enjoyed this one a whole lot! Blessings

Interesting information, very informative. Thanks for sharing this video.

Thank you - we just ordered one from EZ Hauler.

Can’t wait to see how the windows got in and where they came from.

cargo blankets work great at creepers for getting under things but also working along side cars.. they can store in 2 and 3 gallon zip lock bags..

Hi Rick, thanks for showing this video. I’ve priced 6x10 cargo trailers here in Jersey. If you mention an aluminum trailer they say they don’t carry them. It seems if look west and south of me the dealers have them. I’m seeing prices from $1900 to $3200 for a new trailer. Thanks for showing how to put the insulation in. I knew it was a lot of work.

Very helpful video, thank you!

Yes foil goes in to retain heat. But we use a.c. in our in the desert and shade screen outside as well.

We insulated the bottom of our 13 ft Scamp with that foam board and much to our surprise our free roaming chickens started eating it.....and kept at it until they had a huge hole. Put trailer in garage when we discovered what they were doing.

I actually put a coat of primer for galvanized metal (with fungicide mixed in) on the inside of the skin. Then I put 2 coats of thermal barrier (homemade lizardskin) on the skin & 1 layer on the back of the XPS.

I have watched your traveling and camping videos and have really enjoyed them. But watching this video I discovered grew up 2 blocks for you on 4th! Keep up the great videos!

It seems like, most of the work is being done by, Linda and Nikki while Rick and Mike stand around supervising😂😉💞

Nice family. :)

Great videos. I have been looking at a 6x10 cargo for multipurpose. You have have some great ideas for upgrades and build out suggestions.

i just bought a trailer to convert into my plant shop... your videos are very helpful :)

My adventure is about to begin, just brought home a new 7x14!

Those ceiling panels are vinyl coated. If you need to cut or drill, it won't easily splinter and they're easy to clean. The plastic channels are likely attached via VHB. Mine, in a high-end trailer are the same. Nice inclusion by the manufacturer.

always enjoy your presentations and good sound advice.

OMG I just bought the exact same trailer

I learned a lot. Thank you!

Great channel, just found you! This is such a useful set of videos for anyone ready to get a trailer but want to save money (and possibly time of ordering one to spec). Just subbed, looking forward to seeing the final result!

I just bought a 7x16 all aluminum trailer and now getting ready to turn into toy hauler.

Great video, thanks for all the information. Subscribed.

Your probably past this part of work. After I taped I ran 3" wide strips of reflexics along frame rails to keep cold from passing through frame directly to paneling. just snug screws firmly ,it will leave plenty of air space between paneling and frame. Nice to have a work party.

Very informative video, thank you!

Great work! Awe the foil theories...🤷‍♂️

hahaha! Good for you Linda, put that height to your advantage! hahaha Oh, and good to see you finally put "Stretch" to work too! ;-) (are you sure you don't want at least one 120 vac convenience plug hiding somewhere???)

Team work 👍

Thanks for the reply.. That's cool. Guess when we shop for a trailer, purchase the one with extra ceiling height Thanks.... See ya around!! 😁

You guys are having way too much fun....I hope a BBQ is going to happen at the end of the day DAD! Underside of the trailer with the exposed foam....ever think of putting of appling a rubberized seal (Flex Seal) like the guy on the commerical with a screen door in the bottom of his boat?

Enjoyed that very much, learned something also, thank you :)

Many hands make light work.....as will a battery ;)

If you happen to be around Great Falls I would like to see your heating souce. Good videos

Yes! It must be nice to have so much help. I’m on the bottom insulation part of mine now too! But, I’m doing everything solo. With not much construction experience. And a time deadline to boot! Please pray fo rme… Thx

just bought 8.5 by 20 let the building begin

it looks as if that OSB garbage will be staying on the floor. A coat of good floor/porch enamel paint would really add life and some water proofing to the top AND bottom of the floor panel. that'll be nice.
