One thing most people don't know....that ac unit is putting off drinkable water...if you save it you could filter it and use it for cooking, showers or whatever.
He just solved a problem I've had with going the route of building a trailer conversion because I can't leave the Harley behind.. the bed is definitely simple yet it works flawless.. I also never imagined a bathroom that big and it fits right in
Great trailer. Perfect for your needs. The young lady has no need to be shy as she has contributed some great things to the trailer and many can learn from her and the husband. The bed is great!
This guy and his wife are amazing! What a fantastic job! I’m sure he could’ve done the cabinets if he wanted to judging how beautifully done everything else turned out. Love that ceiling and the bathroom.
They did a great job on that conversion , so glad your channel shows other people's ideas because you never know who your helping out with some of Thier dreams of doing the same to Thier cargo trailer , Thank You For All You Do !!!
This was awesome....I lived in South Bend Indiana close to Elkhart for 17 years..miss it! That bed is the way to go! What a beautiful conversion.♥️♥️♥️♥️ Thank you for sharing with us.
Awesome, I am now starting on my horse trailer build, 16 by 6 because we want something to boondock off road and we own it now minus the horse. Also, our 29 foot Keystone is too long for what we want to do and where we want to go now that we retired, hahahhaha. I got a lot of ideas from this, especially with the black and gray tank because my horse trailer sits low to the ground. Thank you!
Wowza! What a really nice build... I could probably get my wife to travel with me in something like that. Thanks for sharing Brad & Karen's trailer. I'm definitely going to "borrow" a couple of his ideas.
one of the best cargo setups I have seen, good job Brad, and Karen has quite a artistic flair. Very cool layout and look. I love these type of vids, gives me so many ideas or different views on things for my short bus build, which will also haul 2 small motorcycles on it.
I was impressed with this trailer build when I seen it in person , now that I’ve seen everything that went into it I am especially impressed. It was very nice to meet Brad and Karen they camped across from us.
I really enjoyed your video this build was borderline excellent close to perfect I couldn't think of anything wrong with it but I don't want your head to swell up my goodness I truly enjoyed it thank you so much for letting him do this with your trailer I got some great ideas I really love that garage up front can't wait for myself to get started
I enjoy tote tours so much, every one I’ve “met” on your channel is so cleaver and talented. Karen’s paint work is a true masterpiece, and Brads use of the V in the front, the mechanical room and storage is a must have when I build my trailer. I appreciate the use of a window unit and the exhaust fan. I realize the mini split is the best option, but by golly, a window unit is relatively affordable in comparison and can get you on the road, then upgraded later. I sure hope to meet you all on my journeys down the road. 😎
Yellow thank you very much for taking the time time to do all the great things you've done it gives me great ideas and great inspiration blessings to you and yours safe travels
I have been thinking a lot on the base camp idea. The trailer I've designed for myself has much of the same features in the forward part. I'm still a bit stuck on the beds, however. I want room for 3-4 guys in separate fold up bunks. Looking at this trailer gives me some space reference. I have the same refrigerator in my current 5th wheel. P.S. I like the generator location.
Smart build! I had a idea for your bed lift system. Instead of the 4 pins, keep going with the garage door theme and use garage door spring latches. You would need two sets, one per side obviously. The t-handle in the middle pulling the cables which in turn pulls open the latches on both ends/corners.
Awesome and informative video brother ! I’ve been racking my brain for months on a good bed idea as I too haul the Harley and need the room. Excellent idea he’s got using the garage door springs. Very neat build out
You actually helped me figure out very difficult questions I was struggling with!! I wanted the lift for the bed as well and was thinking of doing 4 hydraulic shocks but found that it was very hard to push down.. this was an amazing idea no joke!! And lifting the floor for the water tanks . (I don't know why I never thought of that.. looking at your system this seems so logical now but I never came to that conclusion.. I also wanted the window airconditioner for easy in an out and replacement!!! You really did help with alot .. although on my build I wanted a full wrap around dining set under the bed that would also convert into another full size bed... And I wanted a space like your utility closet but I wanted it in the back creating a garage with just enough room to sit a bike sideways inside .. but I like how open u made this floor plan as well. You guys really did amazing... (My only peeve with your build is the kitchen is to small and doesn't have that "sway" about it) that's literally it..
Hey, I really like their design. I've thinking about putting my bathroom in the nose...have barn doors on the back and inset a wall...so I can do a split there..and have my Storage room so to speak on the back . But..dang. i like this design. Might have to rethink it.
Thanks so much , I've been obsessed with the cargo conversion I know with truck and trailer they are a pretty big expense I hope one day I can have one like this one to carry my sxs this almost perfect idea please keep them coming
Looks really good, congrats! I hope you enjoy it for years to come. I'm about to start my project here soon. The only thing I might have done different would be the holding tanks. I might have put one on the bottom inside your cabinets, then another inside of a wall. I just know my dumb A$$ would stub my toe one good time that be my thing haha!
I love what they did to this "disguised" cargo trailer. Only change I'd make is turning the fridge. It would look better under the upper cabinet, create more floor space, and easier to get to. Was that the carbon monoxide alarm above the entrance door? If so, it should be at ground level. I love the garage door/bed mechanical look. I wouldn't change a thing there. Over all, this is an awesome build. I'd be proud to own this.
I have missed your trailer tours Bill. You always do such a great job with these. We are thinking about the same bed idea. I totally agree with Brad about starting to think about alternatives when you see the price on some of the commercial bed offerings that go up and down. I think you and Deb started something here. Another grey trailer. Lol. Thanks again for all you and Deb do for the tiny house community. Great job as always.
Nice trailer and Karen don’t be so shy hon, also you are such an amazing painter you did a beautiful job with this trailer I would love to see more of your work !!!
Bed rails purchased from Mc Master Carr track rollers also. Paint on floor was Dutch Boy floor and porch. 3 coats. Screen came direct from Stealth trailer. Utility room isn't heated or insulated.
Really a great build, but a few thoughts.... I'm not sure I'd want the floor to have a step in it, but if the trailer is tall enough a raised floor across the entire unit would give all sorts of room for tanks, utilities, storage, etc.... all inside the dry, conditioned space. If a step, I'd probably have it across the entire front end vs having it angled. I'm not a natural clutz, but I can easily see tripping on it. Maybe an embedded light strip at the edge so you can never miss it? I think sticking with the wall AC is a better idea than switching to a mini split. Mini splits have a checkered record in non-mobile applications (so imagine bouncing down the road regularly), they are more expensive than even the roof air units and are just as difficult to get fixed (as opposed to just buying a replacement wall unit available at countless box stores). Just my $.05... inflation doncha know.
Mini splits are heat pumps and 500% more efficient so they use less power and are worth it, you also save some space and can heat in the winter, so you don't need to spend extra on a heating system. I've seen prices as low as $800.
@@terrafirma9328 hmm, I can't say I've ever seen an $800 mini-split... but OK, probably didn't look recently. I know from first hand experience that mini-splits can be troublesome on buildings.... I can just imagine the failure rate on a moving vehicle. I can get a small wall AC for $100 (and they seem to hold up well enough) and a diesel air heater for a couple hundred bucks (admittedly with a checkered past.... over $1K for a solid name brand one). I guess to each their own..... the freedom to try and fail (and learn from). I hope the mini-split does well in the long term.
What an awesome conversion of your cargo trailer! You’ve certainly provided many amazing ideas here as I’m very interested in purchasing and doing something similar so we too can trailer our Goldwing DCT Tour & Yamaha WaveRunners! Well done Brad, two thumbs up👍🏽👍🏽
WOW! Impressive! I've been off-grid van-lifer 7 month/yr, mtn biking & motorcycling, and this has got to be the cream of the crop configuration for all things Adventuring. There has been many times over the last 15 years I wanted to add a new activities (kayak and associated equip for example) but I couldn't due to storage and configuration limitations. The more I think about it, the more BRILLIANT this looks. Maybe I should tow one behind my current rig and stuff a GF ... and all her crap in there ... oops, did I just say that out loud? my bad ;)
Me and my wife wants to do a cargo trailer like this but I wanted to go all electric and didn’t know if I could but now I know I can. Thanks for the video and y’all keep on living it up.
great job, nice trailer, love the utility closet idea, the bed is really smart but… i have that same type garage door setup at my shop and it gives a lot of trouble, if a cable jumps off somehow he w be doomed..
One thing most people don't know....that ac unit is putting off drinkable water...if you save it you could filter it and use it for cooking, showers or whatever.
That system of lowering the rear bed and raised floors for the tanks is epic. Very nice conversion.
I really like the idea of having the bed up by the ceiling when not in use.
It's great, they have a small table they can set up under the bed, we have eaten with them there on a cold rainy day
💚 the garage door springs bed. Awesome idea. 👍
I am impressed with the paint job she did on the walls. Great build.
I ❤ the way Brad carries himself. Articulate, perfect reply every time, just a well carried human being. They don’t make men like that anymore.
Brad is amazing
He just solved a problem I've had with going the route of building a trailer conversion because I can't leave the Harley behind.. the bed is definitely simple yet it works flawless.. I also never imagined a bathroom that big and it fits right in
Now this was another WELL THOUGHT OUT Cargo build ..... Excellent floor plan.... Different that most ....
Brad and Karen, thank you for letting us see your well thought out travel trailer.
Very cool bed. I've seen the garage door motors to pull a bed up, but way to loud. Just the torsion springs was a great idea!
Sweet!!!
I predict a run on garage door torsion spring systems.
Love it....
BTW.... I'm thinking I'm going to BORROW the strap holding up the ramp!
Great trailer. Perfect for your needs. The young lady has no need to be shy as she has contributed some great things to the trailer and many can learn from her and the husband. The bed is great!

In all my years of studying conversions trailer for another disaster medical/sleep quarters, this is the best!!, Thanks for share!
I like that bed system!!! Karen's paintwork is just amazing!! Hope you two get to enjoy!!
What a wonderful job he did on converting that trailer. He used a lot of ingenuity.
Brad and Karen did a great job
What a great conversion. Love the way you think outside the box. I can not imagine anyone giving a thumbs down to this,

This was awesome....I lived in South Bend Indiana close to Elkhart for 17 years..miss it! That bed is the way to go! What a beautiful conversion.♥️♥️♥️♥️ Thank you for sharing with us.
I like the “garage feel” of this conversion. It just feels carefree and easy going. Great job and many super ideas executed well.
That shower wall is very pretty....but it's going to be a beast to clean.
@@saragalvan9196 I was thinking the same thing.... looks really nice, but maybe not the most practical. Overall great build, though.
Wow
nice job hats off to you and Karen did a nice job God bless
That's real nicely done! Very comfy! Well done folks, thanks for sharing this video and thank you to the folks there with the Trailer conversion!

I want to squeeze a civic on these even If have to slither out a window or trunk. Glad to see ideas here. Have to center it on the axles.
wow. I like how you can get to all the wiring, plumbing, elec. etc. great.

Spectacular build and video! Thanks for sharing the ideas and inspiration!
love the bed idea, and utility room was great. I would have liked to see the tracks the bed was on.
Bed rails are uni strut purchased from mc master carr rollers also
This was fun!!! Thanks, Bill, really enjoyed this...
Good vid
nice build
People that want to use the garage door idea - look into the H0me Dep0t EZ springs - very easy to adjust.
The garage door spring idea is really clever.
Behind every good man is an intelligent woman. Great job, love the bathroom

Mike B. $800 is exactly what we paid for our 12,000 BTU Senville Mini Split. We absolutely love it as well.
Hadn't thought about the garage door springs for the bed, but have also seen a small ATV winch used to raise and lower a bed.
Slump stone shower stall pretty. Even it being fake, great job.
I love the wrinkle tin ceiling. I will definitely use that on my next build.
This is great :D The garage door tension is ingenious!
A fantastic build. Very well thought out. Thanks for the tour.

Best in close rv build I've seen on CZcams!
Great trailer. Gave me some ideas. Would love to see the trike in the trailer. Shopping for a trike now. 😁
Brad is working on a new bed design so he can sleep when the trike is inside, for those quick stop overs
We converted our electra glide.
Awesome!! Thanks for allowing Bill to do the walk thru this is a beautiful conversion. I’d sure like to know more about the shower walls. Thanks Kc
