Me too!

Facts🫡

Lol

For me I’d add a small lift, swap the tires out to make compatibility with the same as the tow vehicle, off-road suspension. Part of the benefit of a tiny camper is the ability to take it where a full sized camper couldn’t or shouldn’t go. Maybe not fully off road but at least out of the way.

lol

I know, it was amazing! That's probably the point where I decided to buy an anvil and make a furnace.

And maybe a line to hook up and charge your batteries while campsite.

Maybe also add some solar panels and the ability to charge the batteries from the car while driving.

And Simone us really legit too

Yes, it was really cool! Beautiful area to live in! This was my first time in Upstate NY

Thank you! Yes, I think an awning is a great idea!

I hope so too!

Thanks Tommy! I'm not familiar with the hitch sway-bars. I'll definitely read up on them though. As or charging, I tend to carry things on my roof rack so solar might not work. I have added a charger that works with shore power and I'm thinking about just adding a trickle charger that pulls from the light connector since it's pulled with different vehicles. Water jugs are a great idea! I buy those for the house and didn't think of taking one with me.

Thanks! I agree. I need to figure out how to insulate the walls and still be able to squeeze the bed in. The roof and platform under the bed are insulated so that does help a bit

@@JordanWorkshop Time for a hot wire foam cutter project. Make a template of the corrugated shape of the interior metal panels. Put the hot wire in a vertical "C" frame. With the right material for the template it should be able to run against the wire, or you could run the wire through a metal tube at the bottom so the tube serves as a guide pin. The template would need adjusted to account for the pin diameter. What foam to use and how to fasten it to the template? No idea. I'd go for about 1/4" thickness over the ridges so you don't lose much interior width. But before you cut a bunch of foam to glue to the inside, drill some holes in that corrugated lining to fill the space between it and the exterior with low expanding foam. Alternative insulation method. Wide bubble wrap, rolled into long rolls, secured with packing tape. Fit those into the inner corrugation valleys then get some thin foam sheet to glue over it all, then reinstall the paneling. Combined with the low expanding foam between the corrugated metal and the exterior that ought to serve for stopping air convection.

Hey Preston, Uhaul's recovery department contacted me and asked for my ownership information, but that's about the extent of my communication with them. Is yours an enclosed or open trailer?

Thanks, no real legal troubles but it seems it's almost impossible to find one of these. I like the idea of building from scratch too and I have a couple new ones in the works. I'm subscribing to keep up with your project in case you decide to build one.

Good points! I've added insulation in the walls and the suspension was stuck. It's a torsion axle so the problem was hardened rubber. Should have another video with all that soon.

So where's the hidden video?

Thanks! You're right, they don't sell them now. This one is really old. Still working on figuring out how it got away from them

lol It might have looked like a blue cooler out beside one of those big camping rigs. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!

And maybe a solar panel on the roof top.

Thanks! I didn't recognize him

I didn't know how hard these are to find when I bought this one. Mine is 40 years old or more. You can tell by the bulging taillights that it's a vintage trailer. It sounds like their policies or methods of disposal have changed over the years

@@JordanWorkshop dang I was hoping you had found a loophole. Congrats on the find. Hopefully I can come by one, one day.

Finishing up some upgrades this weekend. I'll have an update out soon. Thanks!

Yes, I'd like to be able to use any vehicle though. Maybe I should figure out how much amperage I can safely pull through the trailer connection

@@JordanWorkshop you never know, it could prove handy in a pinch! Either way though, good luck with it and thank you for taking us along for the ride!!

@@JordanWorkshop Just install a 12v to 120V inverter mounted your truck then run a cord to the trailer. Harbor Freight have reasonable priced inverters.

Yeah, you're right. It's pretty cramped hanging out in this thing on rainy days

Thank you! Yes, I had originally planned to sleep in the rover. That turned out not to be so practical when I took my daughter along though. There was room for either a cooler and some gear or my daughter, but not both. Also, it's nice being able to stretch out in something comfortable and cool at night. I'll have more up soon. Thanks for watching!

I read it as losers too lol

lol - should have packed my holy hand grenade

Thanks, I'll start posting again soon. Had some life stuff get in the way

I've been talking to U-Haul and the DMV to find its history and how it became legally titled. I'm documenting the process and I'll have a video when we figure out out

uhaul sells their equipment all the time

You are correct. Thought someone would give him a warning before. Even if he acquired the trailer from someone else. I checked with them two years ago and was told the sold the trucks used but never any trailer.

Ohio does not even have titles for landscape or cargo trailers if it's under 4,000lbs. Only camper trailers under 4k lbs. require a title. It's not hard to get a cargo trailer titled as a camper. You just have to claim it was home built, and provide a weight slip, and a bill of sale for the original donor trailer and major parts or components you installed. In Ohio you take it to a State inspection location, they check your vehicle complies with State highway laws, weight slip, and working trailer lights, and you are given paperwork to get a title at the BMV. Someone may have even cut a serial number tag off an old trailer and reattached it to this UHaul trailer, and were using the title from the old trailer when they sold it to you.

Mr. Uhaul personally shows up and tows it away.

True, I thought the same thing. The window can be taken out from the inside

@@JordanWorkshop Cool ,, Travel safe , healthy , there & back home , road prayer ,, awesome work making camper , on my bucket list , thank you
