The guy up the road bought one just like that.... He put two sets of bunk beds and a refrigerator microwave and air conditioner in it he has three Mexican girls living in it, they go off-grid every weekend sometimes for a week or two.... He sure looks like a very happy man.... !!!

This is many years later but id like to add. I put the plywood under the 2x4s. Then added my tools, then put divider / support cross braces to keep tools where i wanted them . The decking underneath you have short walls to keep everything from jumping off. That worked for me.

Thank you so much for posting! I've watched TOO many conversion videos, with none of them being right fit for what I'm doing (simple camping trailer). Wanted shelves in front for storage and this turned out FANTASTIC! Love the simplicity and sturdiness (grandson can actually use as bunk bed) and just pop out when need the full trailer for other uses. Thanks again!

@UselessProductsAreCool Жыл бұрын

On the lip of the shelf against the wall I recommend some pipe insulation... it looks clean and stops stuff from rolling off the front and dropping down or getting stuck between the front of the shelf and the trailer wall..... It also hides any bad cuts.... and it looks decent.

Northern Tools always had tons of these E-track units of various sizes and those brackets, as well. If you have a flatbed trailer with no ramp on it, you can put in an E-track on each side with a bracket as you have on each end. Slip in a 2X6 to length for the width of the trailer and you will not have any issues with your cargo sliding off the back end of the trailer. Nice video.

Laying in bed one night going over what I might do for my cargo RV trailer the E-track idea hit me. Left a bruise. But once I recovered I started seeing how well this approach would work for a dynamic style layout. Meaning I can rearrange my trailer or even take everything out. I am going to use complete units like 3 or 4 discarded cabinets and a few filing cabinets I have currently. seeing your video confirmed that this is doable.

When buying E track, check around and find a truck body supplier and you can buy E track in ten foot lengths for the same price you pay for short pieces everywhere else. If you can't find a truck body supplier, ask some people that work on semi trucks and they should know where you can buy it. Great trailer!

If you install vertical E Track instead of horizontal you can put the shelves at whatever height you want. Food for thought.

@HorizonLMG 5 жыл бұрын

Early Greta Van Fleet you’re correct. However, I did it this way for two reasons. 1. It was more cost effective to purchase only 2 pieces of Etrack thank 4. And 2. I do not need to move my shelves up or down. Another reason is that the location of my front studs wouldn’t have allowed the etrack to be secured vertically because of the width of the etrack. If I did it vertically, I would have had to put the first vertical etrack on the second stud back (16” away from the front of the trailer) and that wouldn’t have worked. But thanks for the comment. You’re like the third person that mentioned it. Lol.

They also make vertical e-track that you can install on the studs 16 or 32 inches apart and then make shelves that are completely adjustable vertically. Just a tip. That's how I've done the shelves in my trailer.

@HorizonLMG 4 жыл бұрын

FlyingMAir You can do that for sure. I just never would need to adjust the height for the way I use the shelves. But yes, you could easily run the etrac vertically. You’d just need to get different etrac brackets to hold the 2x4 supports.

@FlyingMAir 4 жыл бұрын

@@HorizonLMG The same 2x4 brackets work on the vertical e-track. The E-track is a DIFFERENT product where the slats run vertically. Here's a link to what I bought on Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01J4IWTFW/ In general, I install e-track for ultimate flexibility -- that means changing how I use the space I have whenever I need to.

They make vertical e track which would make more sense for the shelving. That way you could adjust the height of each shelf as needed.

@HorizonLMG 5 жыл бұрын

Dave Bach yes they do...however, I opted to go with this configuration for two reasons, 1. The vertical Etrack was more expensive, and 2. I do not need to adjust the height of the shelves. I have no need to move them up or down for how I use my trailer. But you are correct that vertical Etrack does allow you to adjust the height of your shelves if that is something that you need to do.

While this looks cleaner, it's cheaper to just build out of wood. Now if you want to be able to remove, then yes, e track

Cool, found this video after I have already installed mine. Mine is similar but I used single etrack. Thought I'd doing vertical etrack for adjustable shelves but did not need adjustable in my situation...I just needed one shelf at the perfect height. Also, the teks 1 1/4 inch long and #14 diameter self tapping are a better option

So, once you have the 2x4's in the etrack mounts, the shelve board screwed down and the 2x4's screwed to the etrack parts....how do you get it off the wall if you wanted to? Seems to me that you'd have to disassemble everything to get if out of the etrack mounts. Have you tried this? Interested in how you did it.

@HorizonLMG 5 жыл бұрын

S FERG all you have to do is take the one screw out of each of the Etrack brackets and the entire shelf lifts right out. The shelf lifts out of the etrack brackets in one piece. Very quick and simple! Takes about 2 minutes to take both shelves out.

Nice! Wondering: It's "only" as strong as those (4) 1", 10 gauge, self-tapping screws(on each e-track) going into the aluminum studs. Is that pretty strong? Can thet hold a lot of weight? Is the aluminum pretty thick/strong? Can only put those in every 16"... Wondering how to increase the weight bearing strength...like, to use a sleeping bed would be cool...or hold a generator, or something. Anyhooo, great vid and looks rad!
