- This is just a quick on unedited video of my cargo trailer conversion into a camper. I posted another video a while back that was just a slide show of pictures and I had a few people that said they wanted a walkthrough video. Try not to be too critical. This was just a quick walk through unedited video. Please subscribe if you like it :)

I could definitely see this being a trend. RV's are so expensive, and built so cheap...
Already a trend.
Fancy seeing you here! It's Tammie Parrish Miller from STB's channel! I've been looking into doing something similar to this possibly in a few years. I have a friend who lives on BLM land in Arizona full time in one of these. I'm probably gonna go with a camper but who knows? See ya in the classic rock section!
two beer cookie cutter expensive RVs are the worst! Buildout of a workvan, school bus or a cargo trailer is definitely the way to go!
Are they really cheap?
Maybe only the low cost ones are cheaply made.
since my last comment of your build I have seen at least 50 other conversions and your is by far the BEST layout and interior design of anything out there.... WELL DONE Sir!!!
Thank you So much! I appreciate that!
There is nothing better than the gratification from building something with your own 2 hands. Great build.
I've watched a lot of these and this is one of the better conversions.
Thank you! I appreciate that.
My jaw dropped as soon as you opened the door !! NIIIICE!!
Linda Ellis ..........thank you Linda
My first comment EVER on a CZcams vidro; AWESOME!
Rosemarie Reynolds ...........thank you so much!!!
Linda Ellis as if see a Nigerian for the first time
As long as you are not talking about when he opened the bathroom door Linda! :D
This is one of the best setups I have seen. It is very neat and adorable! Thank you for sharing!
Love this build out!! You're brave putting your batteries/electrical equitp. right under your water 💧
Really well done! So cute! Love your colors! I've got to put Harbor Freight and Ebay on my list of places to shop.
this has to be one of the nicest conversions in this size that I've seen! It looks awesome!
Kathy D .......thank you so much Kathy!!
Impressive, I really like the Hot Rod theme. Looks better than what you can buy at a RV dealer.
Nice! My neighbor has done the same thing. He sold his RV and built his. Minor differences, he bought a dual axle trailer with a tip down back door giving them a little deck. Plumbed for LP gas with room for double bottles if wanted. Built in a high efficiency dual power forced air heater and put it where your fridge is and got this trick cooler to use for his fridge/freezer. Built a small stove where you have your coffee maker. Made it so it can be used outside if they want that. Solar, he had the bottom completely water proofed (under sealed). He set up the inside basically the same way you have. His overhead fan is thermostatically controlled.
You’ve done a really good job. I like it.
Great job. Getting supplies and doing everything yourself is the way to go. Give yourself a pat on the back brother. 👍🏼
Thank you, I appreciate that :)
I have a 6x10. You gave me some good ideas! Oh, and a magnet fly screen on the door and cross the entire rear cargo doors would work wonders and keep the wife happy. And when the wife's happy,...
Frickin beautiful doghouse when the mrs. is upset with you
LOL.....Thank you !!!
Michael Skinner awesome
If you're paying for the house, send HER out!🤣🤣🤣
Mobile man cave.
Yea and the nice thing is u can get far away from her.
Beautifully and thoughtfully made. Very innovative! And thank you for not ending every sentence like a question! And not using words like "supercool" and "tons of storage". Guess I'm old, but it's " like" "super" annoying?
Hah!
Yes! It's so annoying to hear people ending every sentence like a question. It's just plain verbal sloppiness. It does seem to be generational. What an indictment (one of many...) of our failed public education system.
also annoying is hearing where people keep their spoons, dishes, etc. please move on to something we care about.
Kelli I like the way you think
Love it. It's something anyone would be proud to own, even prouder to say you did it yourself. Beautiful!! I think you must have spent a good deal of time planning this. Everything fits just right and no wasted space, pull out the futon and what's stored behind it and you still have full use as a cargo trailer. Excellent job with the color scheme and graphics, you're ready for some glamping. Wishing you many happy memories with your creation, thanks for sharing.
Thank you Wayne! It truly was something very satisfying to build. Took a while and a lot of planning but was a lot of fun. May do another someday.........On a budget of course......LOL
Really nice. That is what I want. Love the colors and love the design!. Now I need to go find a trailer and convert one. Thanks for sharing.
Very well done cargo to camp-trailer conversion. Most of these are either slapped together garbage or way overboard goofy - as in spent more money than they could have bought a better trailer for. This one is the perfect combination of fine workmanship, tasteful (with a flair) design attributes, and practicality. Nice job!
WOW!! Thank you so much Frank, those were very kind words. I really did try to make it as cheap as possible but making it functional as well. It was a really fun build.
This is one of the sharpest, minimalist builds I’ve seen. Most have far too much crammed into a small space. Beautiful!👏🏻
I truly enjoy watching people build these type of trailers into a camper, each one is unique to it's builder but they're always really nice and something I'd love to tow around the country and have some fun with and make some great memories.. Great job on this seriously and I hope that you're still enjoying it now. 🙏🍻
I despise futons, but I really like what you have done in this trailer.. very clean and bless your heart, a toilet!! I hate seeing cute little conversions, then finding out there is nowhere to pee and a girl will have to go find an outhouse! nope not me.
The removable futon is a great idea, as long as it's comfortable. I could see myself wanting to use this trailer to haul furniture and other large items occasionally.
Dude, pat yourself on the back, good job!
THE PHOENIX .......thank you so much!!
Outstanding taste in design, inside and out. Very tidy and excellent assembly. Good choices in appliances. Thanks to you for sharing Brett.
Thank you Sir!
I like your color scheme. Even your bungee cords match 😄. It really is adorable
Thank you!!
This is stunning. I love the entire practicality and ingenuity, right down to the arty red and white and retro theme. Very cool.
Thank you so much :)
At 4:46; "I'm not a carpenter" you could of fooled us buddy . Great job!
Gino Garza ..........thank you Gino!!
Very nice.. The one thing i like about it is that it's not over filled with crap like most commercial RV are. Open space makes it easy to move around.
Best cargo conversion I've seen
So much nicer decor, ambiance whatever they call the feel of it.
Like where everything is .
Cant get tired of watching it.
Thank you Lee!!
This is the nicest and clean looking conversion I have seen yet. Brilliantly done and quite the eye candy as well as functional.
Thank you Sir!!
i've gotta a trailer similar to yours without the modification,,,since day one of ownership i wanted to do what you've done....great job,man
You did a great job on this trailer. I can only see one thing missing and that is screens to keep those pesky little mosquitoes out😁
That is such a professional job of transforming it into a camper, a rocking interior. Man I will think about this while I am building my home made camper.
I love to watch these videos and this is the best conversation I've seen and my favourite colours red and black well done.stay safe from Scotland
Great job! I like how simple and clean it looks. Also you can still use it to haul stuff.
Maybe the best build I’ve seen - totally my style. Nice! Congrats.
Nice job, I like all aspects of it. The best thing is you can use it to haul if you need to. Got me thinking now, I could take my bike then just roll it out when parked at campground. Cool.
I’d like to see what it looks like with the bed out/down/open. (Don’t know what term fits) I too love the black and white with red accents. It all reminds me of a 50’s theme diner. Thanks for giving us a peek!
50’s diner theme, as soon As I saw it I thought the same thing.
Wow never seen a cargo trailer converted to a camper. 👍👍 genius! Thanks for the walk thru, getting ideas 💡 for my camper build
This is a great build. Conservative spending on fans, windows, solar panels, etc. Looks clean & comfy and I like the open back doors rather than the conversions with “garages”. Well done!!!
Cargo trailer to 50's diner conversion! Really nice. I'd like to do pretty much this same thing but definitely with the shower...which is the part that intimidates me and keeps me from doing it. I've been looking at some of the smaller travel trailers with showers...but I want those back doors for hauling bikes, etc. This is great.
Thank you! Ya, the shower intimidates me a little as well. I have not even started on it yet. Still trying to decide how to do it.
Nice job on the conversion, you really touched all the bases with this build. Love the beer sign!!
Jay A. ..........thanks Jay!!
Very clean build. I like the thoughtfulness you put into it.
Your trailer looks a 100 times better than most the junk that you could buy out in showrooms. This is a work of art. The space is so usable!
The bed is a matter of taste, but the interior and the paintwork stand out clearly from others! Chapeau, sir, Chapeau!
The Futon in the video was pretty uncomfortable but we upgraded to a more comfortable one.
Your trailer looks very nice.... amazing really. The most impressive part of your project is the mini-kitchen. You can wash up, clean up and sit down and relax. I also think it's cool that you managed to create some sort of color scheme from the black and white checkerboard floor, to the black futon, white walls and those cool matching appliances in red and silver.
On a more analytical note there are many ways to design or setup a trailer. I have seen one setup like a mobile office, they can be communication hubs, for bugging out or evacuations or for travelling and sleeping. It all depends on what your purpose is. But most are not as stylish as yours is :)
Even the outside graphics match the inner color scheme.
This is a great build. I might copy it. I like the lay out. Only thing I might change is to raise up the couch/bed area to make more storage
One of the best conversions I have viewed...wow! Smart design!
I had a cabinet shop, and I say for someone who’s not a carpenter you did really good.
That's just so amazing! My hats off to you! Great job! I've dreamed of doing something like that for years and never did. You did it! Congrats!!!
I’m impressed. Nice job. I have the same cargo trailer, my Harley lives in it.
One of the coolest conversions that I’ve ever seen.
That is indeed sweet. The retro décor is icing on the cake.
You could replace the mirror on the bathroom door with a fold down kitchen counter top for more countertop. Nice and simple with everything one needs!
Really like that idea.
Great build! love the pegboard backsplash, very versatile for hanging cooking junk. Also love the pod lights. I have a few sets myself, I love them.
Something I've thought about doing for quite awhile with my trailer. Thanks for sharing, looks great!
Awesome! I like your build. I just purchased a new 6x12 v-nose and this will be my 3rd build. Watching your video inspired a few changes I'm going to make on my build. Thanks so much and safe travels. 🤙🏾🇺🇲💪🏾
Excellent job! It's like Doctor Who's Tardis, deceptively spacious!
“Hello ladies” really cracked me up😂😂 Nice job by the way!
You have one of the best designs I've seen. Especially maximizing all of the space with a bathroom and kitchen side-by-side nice.
The most impressive home build I've seen yet. Very impressive
Absolutely beautiful job! Looks great!
You did a terrific job! All the basics and room to haul stuff. I converted a horse trailer and don't quite have the width you do. Good choice.
Really nice sir! My uncle did that years ago when we went on a Canadian fishing trip. I always wanted to do this since then. Thanks for some great tips.
This is a great build! One of the most roomy/spacious layouts I have seen. So many of these cargo trailers look very cramped.
What a great job. So we'll built. I'm a retired carpenter , going to buy a 2 Axel so I can load my Harley.
Hope mine looks as good as yours .
Thanks ,u put jayco to shame.
Thank you for the great comment! I hope you have as much fun with your build as I did with mine. It's very satisfying once you start making some good progress. Good luck :)
Young man, you did a great job! I really enjoyed your video! The tape on the sides really set your rig apart. Love the windows and their placement.
Compliments! That is one of the cleanest conversions I've seen. Nicely done. I'm really inspired by this.
This one seems durable, both on the inside as well as the outside, more than an expensive commercial one.
You had a number of great ideas, including the wastebasket on the door, the removable futon for hauling space, being able to watch the flat screen TV indoors or outdoors, etc.
Thank you John, I appreciate that :)
"Helloooo Ladies!" HA HA HA HA HA - you crack me up. Nice job, by the way.
And still room for one dirt bike! Love it man, nice job!!
Exactly my thoughts.
Your build looks much better than most of the brand name trailers,which are way over priced.Very nice layout.Great job.
YOU REALLY DID A GREAT JOB! IT'S MODERN & CUTE YET MASCULINE. COLOR SELECTION BLENDS SO VERY WELL TOGETHER.
Nicely done man You did excellent all you need to do now is just figure what you need and how much you can live with out and then leave the sticks and bricks behind you have the home on wheels paid for
It's a beautiful conversion! Well done!!!!!
I like this better then those 'built a trailer for under 1k videos' that only work when you seem have unlimited shop space and welding setups etc and people helping for free.
This is the best craftsmanship I ever saw..
Wow, this is a nice set-up you came up with. Now I feel like making my own. Thanks for sharing. John
Thanks for the comment John!! It really was fun to build.
Extremely great job
Love the colors matching the jeep!!!!!!!!
you did a great job on your camp trailer, it appears you and your wife will have everything needed for a few days of camping fun. LOOKS GREAT!
Thank you Sir! It works out perfect for us for short getaways :)
Great job! Thanks for sharing your ideas for those of us converting ours for the 1st time, it really helps!
completely AMAZING!!!. EXCELLENT JOB
Thank you for sharing , our plans is to live off grid full time. We can easily live in this.
Nice build and I love your interior color as it gives a feeling of happy and energetic while spending time inside....
I made it perfectly clear on my wan build , NO DARK COLORS as all dark colors make it feel like a Gothic museum .....
I like the way you made a room to use the bathroom in and not sitting out in the open.....
Privacy is good when having bathroom breaks.....
Safe travels and enjoy
Man that is so so beautiful. If I had that thing I will always be traveling and camping. What a beautiful and homey looking trailer. Great job! Enjoy.
Thanks Rock!!
this is crazy good - kind of hq for the camp ground! Good Job!!!
You can open a side business custom making these for people.
Who’s they lol
I kinda look at this is a jigsaw puzzle
Put me on the list

GREAT JOB...!! Very Clean and UN-Cluttered gives is a very warm inviting feel. Reading the comments here, someone wrote; 'colors suck! Otherwise, not bad'..??? I'm not a red person however it doesn't bother me and I would be proud to say I built this without trying to please someone else. Watching so many builds on trailers gives inspiration and new ideas. Thank you and a very blessed and Happy Fourth 23' to you and yours..!!🙏❤
Thanks for the tour. You have done a very professional job, and have given me some great ideas for my rig (someday). Thanks!
Nice build! Very tastefully done and it looks like you bought a toy hauler from an RV dealer. I hate amateur looking conversions, this is definitely not an amateur looking build. Great work! Beats the hell out of setting up a tent!
Wade Guidry ......thank Wade! Definitely beats a tent :)
AND JUST WHAT IS IT THAT YOU HATE ABOUT AMATEUR LOOKING CONVERSIONS WHEN SOMEONE IS DOING THE BEST THEY CAN WITH WHAT THEY HAVE???? BUT I GUESS THAT ARROGANT ELITISTS NEED TO HAVE A RIGHT TO STEP ON FOLKS ALSO?
Dwight Diller: right on!
Heck I could live in something like that, in California that would be 1,200 a month in rent to live in something like that that's what people pay in just renting a room! Even more that has its own bathroom and sink. Some rooms you have a share bathroom
@@dwightdiller I hear that I've seen some great camper conversions done out of a U-HALL truck that was way cool like stealthy like he could park anywhere and it would look like a common moving van or work van and no one would ever know there was a small home in the back he had the roll up door in the back with the lift that he could use as a porch when the door was rolled up he still had a window and a door even with the back door rolled up
Thanks for the idea on the ceiling, I was wondering how I was going to insulate my van with the way the roof is, it's a raised roof mini van, your idea is perfect. and man I love how sleek and nice and clean your camper is.
Nice...like the fact you put a shitter and shower in there , Not having to go outside on a cold night and not having to hear the wife complain about peeing in the woods...excellent. Plus the screen on the door- yeah.
Cleanest most useful setup I have seen.
Very nice, it's a job well done. Simplicity with a little flair!
Really nice. Love the colors and your layout.
Great job. Good use of space with the t.v. and the Garbage cans!
Probably the cleanest conversion I've seen! Nice job!
That is an AWESOME trailer!!! Well Done!!! Great video also!!!
that is the coolest microwave I've ever seen
(btw nice color scheme!)
and epic posters lol
They got red ones at Walmart for about 40 dollars!
Fine job, and great that you worked together for a happy experience you will never forget. Thanks for sharing!
Love how you put the tv for use inside & out-as well as trash. Perfect place to remind yourself to throw away as you leave thru the door 👍
