The accordion door idea is one of the best I've seen in years along with other easy places to hide wiring etc. Nicely done

This layout is great. So much nicer than anything we ever had. I guess I will go ahead and tell you when I was a kid in 1970 " my age" o well. Anyhow on the weekends me my bro and my dad would go to Everett where dad worked and help Martha with her camper trailer business doing repairs and at the same time fixing an 8 foot truck bed camper. It was a great experience going on Saturdays and getting to know Martha and her son Greg. What brought these memories back the most was metal curtain clips on a metal rod, and the curtains being burnt orange i and semi transparent in our Reno. Ultimately it was the tinking sound from bumping curtains that drove us kids into tents.

Stop being so humble. That is a beautiful trailer that you should be very proud of.. I hope it brings years of happiness to you and your family.

A high quality build if you ask me. I was impressed with the 4 burner stove with a hood and the full sized shower.

Definitely in the top 10 of the nicest self conversions I've seen on the Tube. Great job, I like the color scheme too.

Great build. The “imperfections” equal hard-work, ingenuity, and guts to take on a project most only dream of... 🙋🏻‍♀️

You'll never see 90% of the lack of fitment unless you pointed it out .I think it looks great except for the imperfections that you adequately pointed out which I wouldn't have noticed otherwise . Great Job

I have NO idea why you keep complaining about your craftsmanship!!! Holy Good Gosh Dude.... your skillz are amazing!! Dude, I'm totally inspired at what you've built here. Thank you a hundred times over for sharing this vid!

No one notices your "imperfections" on your sturdy efforts. Good job.

Thanks. I'll be using the first part of your video to help convince my wife why I want a cargo trailer and not someone else's old cheap problems.

"imperfections?" Smart planning, if you ask me. I LOVE your build- best ever!

Beautiful home...especially the bathroom. Your cargo trailer/home appears to be built better than some houses I've seen lately. Thanks for sharing!

This is better than most houses built these days. I could sell my house and live in this. Maybe 2 my hubby will need one to. I would live like this in a minute but my hubby wint, now go figure !! I just want to live with meaning now not about appearances.

Thank you for the detailed video on both how you picked and built your great conversion! It is a wealth of information and what I love most about the KZfaq community. We just moved to Baja Mexico on the Sea of Cortez and I am looking to build a cargo office and spare bedroom. The bedroom part will be pullout queen and the desk with retract to be flush with the wall.

Love this build, you were so right to convert a trailer we bought new caravan, 3 yrs in and roof and walls were wet, so much effort to fix the problem, we fixed it then sold it and converted a 36'6" bus to an RV much better, we were able to put in it what we wanted where we wanted it, this actually became our home for 18 months while our house was being built, so much fun, anyway stunning build, nice use of space and well explained thanks for shareing.

This is a gorgeous conversion! There is a lot of inspiration in this. About the rounded roof... IMO, that's the only way to go even though it makes it tougher to insulate the ceiling.

I built a 5x8 and it was fun but small as my family grew. Than purchased and 19’ RV and it was nothing but problems, required a lot of upkeep and love. Now i got a 7x16 cargo and it is a keeper!

MAN THE INPERFECTIONS IS NOT A PERFECT NO CARGO TRAILER IS PERFECT DUDE YOU DID A WONDERFUL BUILD .THE ONLY ONE THAT NEEDS THE OK IS YOU .DO YOU LOVE IT? WELL IF YOU DO WELL BE PROUD OF YOUR WORK. DUDE YOU DID BETTER THAN I COULD. GOD BLESS

You are absolutely correct that a special order is almost always full price plus shipping. I have found no deals unless the trailer is in stock and had been on the lot for awhile.

Sharp looking on the outside ... white is a color that always looks good ... you barely see any scratches and looks good even dirty... I think you could put an awning on it would be a nice addition plus you could put a toolbox on the tongue for additional storage ...but that sits pretty!!! Interior is fantastic... I’m thinking that you maybe a perfectionist cause of some of your comments... but she is a beauty inside as well ... You should be damn proud of yourself I really like the layout absolutely excellent way to have shower and bathroom set up ... I am starting to get an itch to do this ... I wished you would elaborate on the cost...

Nice! I have watched 100s of cargo conversion videos and this one was the most valuable so far. I don't always agree with your assessment, but I definitely appreciate where you are coming from. The largest difference is that I plan to live in mine (still in the design phase). Excited to see the rest of your videos! :-)

That thing looks great. I could live in it for sure. Goes to show how we live in excess.

Good Job on a good trailer. I like your Roof AC unit. I don't like tacky window units on a travel trailer. Also like the well planned wood work on the walls and ceiling. Cabinets are well built. And the layout is good. Also I am glad you didn't get a v shaped front on the trailer. Gives more room for Gas tanks for your stove and heat. Well done!

Great concept. Allows endless layout options. Be great to see the plans for wiring and plumbing.

Do a documentary of the next build. Could be fun filming step by step how you did your build. Looks better than most. Thanks for the upload.

NEVER PULL A BOX TRAILER WITHOUT A SWAY BAR.... i just rolled my truck and trailer due to a high wind gust compounded by black ice. Almost lost my wife and kids. I've been towing for years. I know not to panic brake but it doesn't take much before its just beyond control. Never thought i needed a sway bar for a little 7x14 TA. I didn't have one. I'll never do that again. This advise may just save your life. PS. Nice trailer. I'd like to show you my new one when i get her done. Everyone was jealous of my old one.

Like the idea of buying a cargo trailer and doing a build , many might wonder how much carpentry , plumbing and electrical skills you must have to finish this project the way you want it , great job , well done .

Your Carpenter looks fine, what you need is a tube of painters caulk. The other thing is Bondo makes a good wood filler. Remember that “puddy and paint makes a carpenter what he ain’t “ and final words of wisdom “a good finish carpenter always has a tube of Dap”. Nice build btw.

it's lovely, you did a great job on the decorating, and hiding of the workings, wonderful job!

Beautiful design. Love it. May you have many years of enjoyment.

I had a black navigator and matching black 6x12 trailer when I lived in OH. It was great. But I moved to South Florida and very quickly realized black in Florida is a VERY BAD IDEA! There can be up to a 30-40 degree difference between white and black! So my next truck, I got a white Yukon XL and I’m planning on getting a white trailer to convert into a toy hauler. I travel all over the Southeast installing gym floors so I need a garage section to haul my tools, and I’m a big guy so I need a big shower. So I plan on building my own.

Fantastic job! Ive been thinking about the same thing for a while now and after watching your video, Im going for it. Your camper will outlast any mass produced one for many many years. Good job brother.

What? Your carpentry skill look allot better than most cargo builds I've seen. Love the way you separated the bath/toilet area. If you had a fridge it would be perfect.

Dude. That is an awesome job. It has a nice cozy look to it. Damn good.

Thanks for the info about the trailer. I have a solar power generator that would be great for power and a portable air conditioner. I have been looking at an all in one kitchen for tiny apartments.

The finest and smartest cargo trailer conversion I have ever seen. You rock man!

A man after my own heart, a framer not a finish carpenter.

This is a great job ...... your conversion is simple and concise nothing to fancy just simple and what you needed to serve your purpose thank you for sharing I love it great job

Awsome DIY. Well thought out and executed. Love the bathroom.

Wow. Mind blown! Awesome job on the built and good video. Glad there’s no annoying music to deal with 😉

the white exterior has always been my first choice , I live in Georgia the summer sun is quite unforgiving ;-)

This has to be one of the nicest conversions I’ve seen yet I think this is the way of the future and I’m gonna get ahead start

Great job man. It looks like a house inside. Very well done!

@10:10.......easy enough to shim that hinge space with a piece of wood. I've glued in part of a paint stick and sanded to flush fit. Just pilot drill frist to avoid splitting.

Nice trailer brother. Thanks

you did a great job. You saying the curve roof is a pain to finish I would consider framing it strait on the inside. That could allow for extra inso or a space to run wire. I bet you improved your building skills by the time you were finished. It takes balls to jump into a project like that if you begin it without being a seasoned carpenter.I respect that

Woooow... excellent job! can't believe you put a full stove there... it's worth it :)

Good job. good taste on the paint and furnishings.

It looks awesome man, don’t be so hard on your self, if you didn’t spend so much time pointing out what’s off no one would know other wise great looking trailer.

Pretty nice build! It's not perfect, but I'd much rather have strong and reliable over pretty, any day. Well done!

Awesome build! It has all the comforts of a full time home!

Awesome WhiteOak, this is a great project. I want to do a 24' version!

Very nice build, never even thought of the color that way so thanks for that , go easy on yourself it looks awesome 👏

I really like this trailer! It's very well done.

For fitting the curved corner areas near the "cillin" (not misspelled), make a cardboard pattern, refine it to fit perfectly, then transpose it to plywood or plastic pattern.. Voila..!!

This is everything I need to know for my build. Great 👍🏼 job. Keep those videos coming.

Great advice about the black trailers getting too hot. I was precisely wondering about that. Black trailers look so nice but you pay a high price.

How about some specs. GVWR, ULW, Hitch Wt., GAWR Thanks

I thought this looked familiar you changed some colors this is still a great conversion thank you for sharing

Just saw this, great job and idea. Been thinking of doing this with An older horse trailer.

Great video. Thanks for the tips about the color of the trailor and roof shape. Since I am buying land in the desert southwest I will get a white flat topped trailor!

I think your work is awesome and sensible! I was working on a mobile home and did the same as you did. Alternative electrical and water pipes that I could easily access and repair if necessary.

I love it! Great job!! I want to build my own...really like your floor plan. Hope you guys are still enjoying it! God bless! 😁

A beautiful job. One to be proud of. I would say way better than commercial builds. I would like to see a video on electrical and wiring. Thanks for sharing. Awesome job. GF1 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😎

Excellent video! I want a cargo trailer. I would like to turn it into an art studio. I wouldn't mind to have a shower and working kitchen in it, too. God bless you with your work!

Thanks for sharing your learning experiences! Looking to make one of my own.

you talk about imperfections.. I see is a masterful thought process and very fine job! well thought out and executed! ;-) thank you for your time, excellent tips, and for producing/posting this video, sir.

I'm so jealous that I subscribed. Love love love love this.

Stunning and inspiring! Thanks for sharing!

I would choose rounded ceiling as well but make the interior side of it flat by filling the center with insulation. It’s a win win being you get a better insulated ceiling.

Great job engineering and laying everything out. Smart young man. I'm gonna copy yours!

Looks good better than alot other ones iv seen

Nice work, I am definitely looking at doing something very similar. You have given me some good ideas.

You did such a fantastic job. I would love to have one just like it imperfections and all (which to me are not noticeable unless I look for them).

has a sailboat feel very nice

So fantastic. I'd love to build this up here in Washington.

Beautifully done! Great job!

i need some of those tree design coffee mugs

What. SOLD. Worth the money.

Great job my friend,,,,,very attractive colours on the interior

Fantastic cargo box build

You done a great job keep on building take care

I'll take it.

Yea that's way better than way you buy as an RV

Great info about the white color. Would have been my last choice as well. I like the silver.

Hey this is great, I’ve been thinking on this for awhile and your just starting out, these tips and hints. White, is the most visible, for me on the road makes sense too. Your clear and sincere, I’ll be watching.

I'd love a 7x14, but if they have an 8x14 or 8.5x14 that would be perfect. I'm contemplating betweem financing a 15k used small toyhualer (half ton towable) or doing a super simple, but good build to one of these, using long lasting material instead of cheap lightweight stuff. All I really need is power, a bed, maybe a couple fold/flip down tables and a ton of storage cabinets, everything else is just a bonus

Wait, Wait, what’s behind the curtain ?? And behind the rear doors?? You don’t give yourself enough credit.... you did Quite Well and some Great Ideas!! Would luv to know your final weight!! Keep up good work... ✌️❤️😁🏕

Honest and open. Thats awesome. Lots of sincere effort as well.

U won man. I'll follow your techniques in building mine. Thnx buddy

For a guy who apologizes for his carpentry skills your cabinetry looks just fine to me. I am no carpenter *and it shows.* My 2 sheds are still standing tho not pretty. I believe in fasteners. Y buy half a pound when 1 can buy 2 pounds. I'd say you've done a first rate job.

Research has shown that vehicles with a curved edge roof like your trailer, are less likely to be blown over by high side winds.

Nicely done, however I would have liked to hear more about your power and water systems. I can tell you did those as well.

GOOD JOB! I'm building one too and going nomad. You gave me some great ideas for mine. Thanks!

Very nicely done!!

Really nice I like the fact that you used 2x4's and regular house wiring along with the outlets, On demand hot water heater too .. I would like to know what the weight is if you know and how much you can tow with that type of trailer ?

You did a great job on that trailer you said you're not that good I think you did a great job and it's better than buying I manufactured one already done cuz they made they make them cheaper I'm against buying the manufactured crappy ones even look like yourself DIYs always the best way do the best best material everything

This is a new post on old video. But very nice. Going to see if you have done a new one!

Do not get the grab bar to help get out that swings over the door. Someone could come along and swing the handle over the door while you are in there and trap you. A grab bar to get out yes, but not one that swings over the door.

You did an EXCELLENT job! Hiding the electrical ubder the cabinets was a great idea. This looks like a regular travel trailer only better!
