Paint the top of the roof of the trailer white, it will help reflect the sun.

Spray the floor with white Rhino Liner, bonds well with wood and it will give it some insulation, it will also make clean-ups easier if the car you are hauling is leaking after a burn-out. Spraying the bottom of the trailer also will help as well, black liner will absorb the heat and make the ramp hot as hell if you leave it down. Also, paint the roof of the trailer with Liquid Rubber (name brand) white RV roof coating, it's solar reflective, it runs around $400 for 5 gallons,I put 3 coats on my RV roof and my A/C run time was cut in half. (South Carolina which also gets very hot and humid)

You might want a snatchblock on the floor of the trailer so once you pull a lower car over the ramp you can get the cable under the bumper

TRick I learned from my dad, if you are parking the trailer on asphalt, get a roll of indoor outdoor carpet to keep the asphalt cool around the trailer saves on keeping it from radiating up through the floor. And you leave less tools behind if you work on a floor covering you roll back up and bring with you.

Try reflective silver paint on the trailer roof to reduce solar heating. Or solar electric panels with an air gap between the panels and the trailer roof.

That hole for the winch is glorious. You should call it the glory hole.

I’d recommend putting a rooftop AC unit on like a camper has. Easy to install and much better units than portable ac units. Great content!

Paint the interior Battleship Grey. It keeps the theme of the Demolitia and would look really cool. OD Green would look good too. And “ Hell Yeah Brother “ it was worth it for that trophy and the memories that come with that trophy. That’s the most important part. You should start a photo album to carry in the trailer. Put photos and trophies from events. Put dates on the back of the photos. This will help you keep the memories in order as you get older and for your kids. They’ll appreciate it one day. Hope this helps. Hope you have a great day with your mom today.

Mikey is a freaking genius. That was a great idea with cutting the panels.

Cooling tips. Paint the outside silver, white or some shiny paint instead instead of matte-black. Sure, black looks cooler, but dark matte colours absorb heat like a fuddermother.

Matt, for 'plugs' for that hole.... you hit on it when you put the hitch in instead of the winch. Weld up a little table to slot in there when deployed, or a coat rack, etc. Endless accessories. Also, safety-cable a hitch pin to the bar in the generator hutch, so there's always one right there to use.

The exhaust on the ac unit you were using is 140degrees outside of the hose, get a roof unit

Matt no matter what you will need a much bigger AC unit. I have tried doing the same thing in my trailer. Yes insulation helped but needed more AC to keep it cool through out the day.

Matt, that interior hitch.. an idea for when the trailer is your office... the generator is RIGHT there, make the 'hitch cover" with a standard 110 outlet and some usb charging ports. Some quick-connects on the inside and you have a hitch cover / power station.

HELL YAH BROTHER! Thank You Matt, Mere, fam, extended Fam, Dr and Mrs Lee. Thank you Demo and Off, Renovation and Desperado.

they make a roll on insulation for RV's and campers called Hy-Tech Bus Kote thermal insulating paint get that and roll it on the top it will make a HUGE difference.

Keeping the demolitia and your brothers memory alive.

Paint it white, don't be like Disney!

I agree with the rino lining the floor you wont be disappointed.

Trust me, you will want to insulate the floor. Either spray foam or a spray in bed liner type product. The sun doesnt directly shine on the floor, but, the asphalt you are parked on will be absorbing the sun. The temp built up in the asphalt will reflect up against the floor of the trailer. Heating the inside up. Its more work to insulate the floor, but it is needed in a set up that is being used the way you use it.

Congrats on the dominating win! You are blessed to have such good people around you to bring your dreams to reality-- Clint and Jenna, Mikey the Madman, the Holden Bros, and the Camera Meister! (I'm sure I'm missing someone... hey, get in the video if you want to be noticed!). Thanks for continuing to include us ordinary citizens in your projects and endeavors...

Did the cave colapse?

Waiting for Matt to post again is always sad. I’m a new mum and his videos are keeping me going. Half an hour or so to myself when the baby sleeps 😅

I was thinking maybe paint the inside silver, but I realized that if you put El Chromino in there, you might not be able to find it... But seriously, you need to put a couple of roof mount RV type A/C units on the trailer. No setup; just fire up the generator and throw the switch.

_HELL YEAH BROTHER!!_ Totally worth it!!

You might want to mount the winch a LOT lower so you don’t rip up the front of whatever you’re pulling into the trailer.

BTW: we LOVE our RAYCONS! Bought a set for my daughter in 2020 for college ~ she graduated 4 days ago and the RAYCONS are still running strong!

I miss ranch life. There is always a project to enhance your ranch and life...

How to paint a box? Just hire or invite the coolest graffiti artists. Let them make you a piece of art inside. You've already started decorating the outside of the trailer.

Put a mini split in for your A/C. Plenty of vids on KZfaq of people that convert cargo trailers to campers. They mount the mini split condenser to the front of the trailer and put the trailer door unit up on a wall.

Hell Yeah Brothe definethly worth

Dude, you should have Marko come paint the inside of your trailer, and film it!! He always tries to get people to let him paint walls inside of their homes and the few that do he makes them EPIC!!!

Big bonus, the inside of the trailer will be much more pleasant noise-wise at a race track. Someone else mentioned the white frp they use in commercial kitchens for the inside and i agree. Also mentioned is the white roof and lighter colored exterior base color. Makes a huge difference.

I just love the crew you have working with you. It seems they jump in on any project Matt dreams up. From office work to grunt work they are there and seemingly having a good time too.

I love that the whole team jumps in no matter what the activity is.

Arctic camo for the inside of the trailer. Friend of mine had a 5\8th inch steel plate 2x3 feet, he welded a bead around the top and cut a 1 inch hole for a drain, it made a hell of a good BBQ just threw it down and let the sun do it's thing. You did say it was hot in Texas.

For the winch mounting it high like that maybe good so you’ll be able to start the pull into the trailer but you may want to think about adding a snatch block mount on the floor near the winch so you can redirect the cable lower to be able to keep pulling the vehicles in without damaging them or their trim/paint. Just an idea sir. And hell yeah it was worth it! Burn the tires off 🔥!

Mikey with all the good ideas on this project

Matt I’m the idea guy , Matt we all have crazy fun ideas , the difference is , you have a crowd funded fortune , that you you can use to make those ideas a reality .

When Matt said "light color", my first thought was mint green and 2 sec later he said it 👌🥹 hope you go with the mint green 😉

That wench set up is gonna rip this trailer apart 👍

Paint the roof white itll do wonders for deflecting heat instead of absorbing it

"Hell Yeah Brother", it was so worth it... Love that RanchTang!

You know one of the main reasons why the Navy paints ships Grey is to help with the Absorbtion of sunlight. That and it makes it harder to see on water. Also, that is why a lot of Cruise ships are White, so it's easier to regulate temp on the inside.

Paint the roof and sides white!!😊 And YES! TOTALLY WORTH IT!❤

Matt, paint the insides with light turquoise. Awesome color.

Use the mesh tarps from Harbor Freight as awnings for shade on your black trailer. The mesh doesn't catch the wind too bad and you don't have to roll them in every time the wind comes up, and if your roof is black paint it white. It'll still look cool.

Inside of the trailer. Make it darker in the front, which will get more light and brighter in the back. If you have the technology, make it have a gradient fade from say, black to mint green. If you want to K.I.S.S, make it start black then become mint green 1/3rd back, and make the transition a 45 degree solid stripe angle.

From someone who did the exact same thing for insulation on a Florida trailer. Insulate the floor as well. Spray foam insulation from underneath works well.

The amount of difference vinal wrapping the black parts white on the trailer will make in the direct sunlight is HUGE. I just went thru it with my heavily insulated truck camper. The insulation will help, but the white paint or wrap will help more. And white will be cooler to the touch than silver for sure, I tried both.

Always worth it. Cars can be fixed, glory is forever!

Paint the trailer either white, orange, yellow, red, green, purple, or blue. Those colors absorb the least amount of heat.

White walls with big red horizontal stripes (opposite of ranchtang with a blue floor to ceiling demo ranch logo in the middle. Would look sick.

I like the solar panel roof idea.

Hey Matt, we have a darker house because of the way the windows are facing, we went with a light sky blue and that makes it so much much brighter inside.

Hey Matt, just a friendly FYIz that winch setup is a great idea, but you have the incorrect fairlead with winch line and it's EXTREMELY dangerous. You have a steel cable with a Hawse fairlead. The steel cable needs a roller fairlead, otherwise it will heat up and fray the wire rope, and destroy the fairlead. The hawse fairlead is to be used with synthetic line, which is much safer btw. If you've used the winch, you'll likely need to replace both, if they haven't been used yet, you can likely get away with just replacing either component. I hope this helps! I don't want to see that cable break and end up seriously Injuring someone.

Recommendation Matt regarding the set-up of your air-conditioning unit. I had a similar style of air-conditioner that I bought for my house with accordion plastic duct work that runs from the back of the air=conditioning unit up and out the window, in your case some exhaust port in the roof of your trailer. I got rid of my portable air-conditioner because the accordion plastic duct work was poorly insulated and the hot exhaust air was heating the plastic and releasing the warm air back into the space I was trying to cool. To reduce that heat transfer inside the trailer you need to develop a plan to insulate the accordion plastic duct work maybe with R20 pink insulation rapped around the duck work with a covering of plastic and duct tape or something else that will give you excellent insulation around your portable air conditioning accordion duct work. Remember wherever you install your air conditioning unit, it needs to be clear of your winch cable.

Matt, you can get insulation that is like foil, meant for brick walls, put that on top of the floor, and then put some thin flooring on it, like laminate, so it doesn't get tore up, it will help a lot.

I love my 6.0! She totes my 18’x80” pressure washing trailer with no problem! 500 gallon water tank and 100 gallons of chemicals plus two commercial machines and various gadgets so she sits probably over 7-8k when loaded with water.

Normally dont like the time-lapse thing but seeing all 4 of the gang working together is nice

For interior trailer colors, you could do a light gray base with the brown/orange Desperado colors/logo or the olive/black Demo Ranch colors/logo on top of it. Orrrr.... you could do Desperado on the outside and Demo Ranch on the inside or vise versa.

Matt if you put air ride suspension in the ranchtang you can raise it when transporting and then lower to desired for burnouts

You were originally "off the ranch" and you are carting a Ranchtangy around in your trailer, have you considered getting someone to paint a farm theme around the walls with a light green grass and light blue sky giving you your light colours to brighten the inside? Have fun working out what to do guys.

Matt, consider Rhino Lining or similar your entire trailer roof and down the curved corners halfway or so, it would greatly reduce the overall heat radiating to the inside of the trailer and making the headroom area when someone is standing up a lot lower. And actually doing thin galvanized steel layer on the entire interior wood floor and then a thick coat of white Rhino Liner would greatly reduce the radiated heat coming up through the floor from blacktop, concrete, even a gravel parking lot in the summer. It's definitely worth thinking about since you use your trailer a lot and you do take it to some very hot places. ;)

Might as well have the trophy mounted in the trailer

Plus try to keep the heat down is if you take that chalky black off the off the outside

HELL YER BROTHER! Totally worth it. If you really want to make it feel cool inside paint it with a nice beach scene, might feel hot but then it'll feel like you're just kicking back on the beach. Just a bunch of blue waves, some sand and a few green palm trees.

BACK IN YOUR CAVE! NOW

We need more! Lol thank you for the updates, they are addicting!

Hey Matt, instead of walking all the way outside to put the pin in the winch, just put a hinged door on the inside so you can reach through to put the pin in.

You should paint your floor the same color they paint the concrete floors inside nuclear facilities. It’s almost a 69 GTO orange color. Makes it really visible for if you drop something, and then do a gray or a similar color for the walls and ceiling but light enough to make light reflect around in there. Otherwise you’ve got a solid trailer! Can’t wait to see more stuff!

28:08 so "white" is lame and "black" is cool? You sound like Disney! Paint it white, it will look by far the best and be most functional!

Epoxy the floor black, a nice Harley orange for the walls, and flat(?) wrap the ceiling with something cool like a Demo Ranch and Despardo Ranch combo logo.

It's interesting that because your black trailer gets hot in the sun, the first thing you look at is inside. Obviously white or silver on the outside will do far more than anything you can do in the inside. Silver outside, insulted inside and a real air con unit or two rather than one dinky one.

What we see here is actually an intercooler. 99% of people using the term intercooler use it wrong and are actually referring to a charge air cooler. Proper intercoolers are between 2 turbos in a compound setup, hence "inter". Regular ol single turbo systems just have a charge air cooler.

28:10 DUDE! Do a electroluminecent custom paint job! If you know somebody who can do that, you could have different layers that'll light up with different switches!

How about mounting shade cloth sail panels across the roof of the trailer? Air gap plus blocking the sun. The shade cloth could be mounted on a similar system dump trucks use to cover loads. And white FRP panels for the interior of the trailer and you can get it from Lowes or Home Depot. Used on walls in commercial kitchens.

I would hire a muralist and have them paint some realistic outdoor scenes. Likes hills and grass and trees and mountains in the distance, some real bob ross stuff. Blue sky up above etc. itd make it seem like your space was bigger than just a normal trailer size. Plus, how relaxing would that be?

Hell yeah brother so worth it made a grown man cry seeing all that smoke

28:00 so "black is cool", 28:08 and "white is lame"? Do you work for Disney?

paint it red white and blue

The trophy was well worth the mechanical destruction! So, HELL YEAH! DEMOLITIA ROCKS IT...AGAIN!!!! 🤘😆

I definitely agree with all those comments. Painting the roof either reflective, white or even solar panels with an air gap. But you're getting so much heat from that black roof.

Love the cave videos Matt!

Hey you should put in horse trough hot tubs . No electric needed. Run a stainless steel coil out of tub to campfire and back to tub

Paint that thing maroon and be proud! Gig Em👍🏼👊🏼

painting the rooftop white would help heat quite a bit, but a game changer will be chrome paint or a chrome wrap, that will cool it significantly.

Paint it white, will by far look the best and be most functional, don't turn Disney on us!

You could totally do the inside walls white again, and then have people come in and paint sections of it, so you have a wicked mural on the inside.

Worth it for the immortal moments that will be on the Internet forever.. the trophy is pretty sweet too.

Hey Matt I insulated my trailer also, I used weight lifting / exercise rubber mats to put on the floor they interlock, 1/2 inch thick works very well to keep heat/ cold out.

Brother, the inspiration for the inside color was on your head. Grey. What would be sweet is an arctic camo inside. Make the environment represent what you want it to be.

Suggestion for your trailer. Paint the roof with several coats of Henry's acrylic elastomeric Dura-Bright. It refleact a whole lot of light then use Iso board for the insulation in roof and walls and it will make a HUGE differance. Both available at your favorite Home Depot.

Hell Yeah BROTHER Totally worth it. Congratulations 👏 on winning the burn out Competition.

For the hitch receiver if you are using say a 2”x2” HSS, it should pass through a 2”x4”x1/4” HSS and be welded on both sides. That way it pulls on both sides of the HSS under load instead of just one side. This is one of the strongest structural connections. Just my advice as a ticketed welder. Cheers.

The answer is always hell yeah brother. Totally worth it if you ain’t first you’re last.

redo it with led lights while you have the wood off of it! will lighten that thing up soooo much better.

Leave the outside original color just paint the roof white with a huge Demo Ranch logo and the sides with giant flames using yellow reflective paint, the roof is the most heat absorbant and pain.

Haze Grey…gives you the option to have anything on the walls and it won’t clash… and definitely need to paint the floors with the rhino/truck bed liner of your choice. Don’t forget the ramp. All that work will go to waste if the ramp is rotted out from getting rained on or messed up from car fluids. Painting the roof with a good RV paint does help with the a/c. We had to redo our rv in 2019. And I’m gonna say “Hell yeah!!! Definitely worth it!!” No matter what you go through, the fun you have is worth the work you’ve done; trophy 🏆 or no trophy.
