Great idea when it goes smoothly, horrific when the factory is off especially on corners, or more than likely a foundation that is off, now you stuck modifying something not meant for modification or shimming plates that are visible. Love the videos and the attention to detail, the backgrounds you work in are beautiful and peaceful too, best wishes and stay safe.👍

Too bad you woke up to no power Ken! I'm glad you could find what you want between the two stores. I'm so glad you have such a good day. Nice that he gave you some pieces of hardwood. That's great he made a wooden Spatula for Sandy. Even something for the railroad! Thanks for being so generous to Ken Folks, you know who you are! Nice trailer. Might sell it with the trailer? Talk about a mobile home! Level! I'm so glad it's a nice day for you. I'm glad you get to use your air gun. I'm a little confused about the "floor." I guess I'll have to watch more before I "get it." Thanks for this video Ken!

So excited about this project. Even more so since you've decided to build on top of the side rails. I like the 2" plus 1.5" insulation to bring up to a nice R-value on the floor. That's a nice touch. I'm curious what the overall height will end up being ... because I don't know what the legal limit is for highway transporting. Fun project. Loving it.

Hi Ken. Spalting is when fungi get into the wood and cause dark lines throughout the grain. It looks awesome and adds a neat design element to whatever you build with it. I worked with a guy who built the very first tiny house on a trailer in western Canada back in 2014. He had built the first with his dad and needed a real carpenter to come in and refine the process, which I did and showed them how to maximize materials use, proper framing, finishing, etc. He used a flat deck trailer where the wheel wells were inside the width of the deck so we were able to build to maximum width by framing around and over the wheel wells, giving us more interior room.

I like that the sides are lifted, but it might have been good to keep the center depressed to the original bed of the trailer. This will provide the head room you wanted while pushing cabinets and couches/benches out to the sides. Similar to the old slide in campers that fit into pickup truck beds.

Another thing if you build on top all your piping and everything can come underneath the building because you'll have that little bit of space between the building and the floor of the trailer fort to be able to pipe underneath it running the pipes out wherever you wanna go

Soooo, what's in the plan to keep this structure on the trailer in case of bumpy roads and hard braking? You can't rely on gravity and drywall screws for that part. Perhaps J-bolts or U-bolts through the finished floor to the trailer frame? Maybe 6 on each side? It needs to be bullet proof out on the highway.
