Part 3 of the How to build a DIY Travel Trailer Project. Installing windows and door, weather proofing, adding aluminum trim, and starting on the interior walls. This stage took quite a bit longer than I expected but so far I'm really happy with the results and excited to get on to the inside!

I personally wonder what's going on and make a point of watching and avoiding any vehicle I can be snatched into. It doesn't matter what it says, people just register some association and feel less threatened resulting in loss of interest. You could write "Grandma eats butt" and they'll assume it's a bakery delivery van or something akin..😏 It's our messed up society but IMPORTANT for many reasons.. God bless

The slope on the bottom in the back is one of the best features of the trailer. I had a single axle camper that would drag the back with just the slightest dip in a driveway or crossing over a road that was slightly higher. I noticed other people with similar campers actually put a wheel on the bottom of the back bumper to counter this issue.

I saw another video where the trailer was about the same size as yours. They installed a tiny bathroom in the corner like caddy-corner with an accordion style door. He hung the shower head right over the toilet so that you just have to stand next to the toilet or sit on top of the toilet lid to shower then stand up to clean and rinse your bum lastly. The water drains out through the drain in the floor. Then, a tiny sink next to the toilet just big enough to wash your hands and brush your teeth. A cover over the toilet paper roll that you can pull down to keep it dry while you shower. He also left the top open just below the ceiling for light to penetrate. I hope this gives you some ideas. Although small, it gives you what you need. Great videos, all of them. Teaches me a lot. Thanks for sharing.

@philipirwin5286 5 жыл бұрын

Two ideas, as far as the rear bumper, good idea, you could incorporate a swing out bracket on the door side to hold a grill possibly. As well as have storage for a sewer or water hose. Other idea is to run a piece of aluminum the width of whatever table you build along the door side of the camper spaced out a bit from the wall. The table will then have a similar length metal piece to slide onto the metal on the trailer. The purpose being is to have on end of the table attached to the camper and the ability to have one leg on the other end of the table, this way it will never be wobbly wherever you park it. Think outdoor kitchen.

@homesteadonomics 5 жыл бұрын

Ive seen some where folks use like a 'C' track for that to hold one side... I like it a lot! I do plan to make that lower cargo door into a slide out table of some sort but not totally sure of how I'll do it. But I really do like the idea of a bracket supported table. thanks Philip!

@SteveP-vm1uc 5 жыл бұрын

It seems you have forgotten your wiring for a lighted license plate bracket. In the wheel wells, (from inside), I'd spray everything with rubberized undercoating. 2 layers everywhere along the edges. It makes for a great seam sealer and kills any issues with condensation on the inside of the steel fender.

@homesteadonomics 5 жыл бұрын

I actually have a tail light that has a license plate light.. that will either go on the bumper (deciding still if I will make one) or the low side. It's powered by the running/tail wire. No specific wire for just a license plate light. I do like the idea of the rubber undercoating spray though.. thanks Steve! :)

I acted as an owner/builder for my home and learned a lot from that too. I didn't do everything but acted as the general contractor and was involved in every process of the build. Was a great experience... learned a ton... but found out that building a home isn't as complex as one would think... but jumping through the red tape of permits and county bureaucracy (aka... bureau-crazy) is the real thing that makes building a home challenging....lol

First off let me congratulate you on a job well done. I always would rather see people Make their own rather than buy manufactured. I do have a question regarding your choice of insulation. Did you consider a spray - on type foam ? And if so what we're your thoughts on choosing the foam board instead. I would think foam board would be more expensive and less of an "R" value. Byt it's why I asked I'm sure you gave good reasoning behind your choice. Lastly thanks for sharing your build. It's a great project.

@homesteadonomics 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I actually debated that very much ... whether to do spray in or foam board. I even had an offer for a free spray in kit. But the quick reasoning was ease and temp resistance. I was concerned about having a mishap with a foam kit and it not mixing properly and having a gooey mess on my hands. the foam board with the foil coating had the highest temp rating which was important to me since the 12v wiring will be incontact with it. Anyways, I think both are fine and the spray in would probably be better for quickness and R value.. but I'm happy with the foam board too :)

Pizza cutters are great versatile tools. Get 3 sizes, 3", 5", and make a 12" from 16g stainless.

definitely thinking about it. we mostly camp in cooler areas during the summer but it would be nice for longer road trips when we stay at places that offer hook ups :)

Can mice get in the wall and chew up that foam board?

I'm hopefull that won't be the case. There aren't any gaps anywhere, unless they chewed a hole through the plywood floor... fingers crossed that doesn't happen ;)

Nice work, I am amazed at the variety of products and the low prices you pay for them in the US. Even an R9 insulation value is unheard of here.
