    This is the best use of a surplus trailer I have ever seen. I like the conversion of the pintle hitch.

    My favorite interest ; DIY RV's , especially vans. This is a great video for the thought he's put into the build ; what a expedition rig ! Thanks

    Great job 👍.
    I’m too old to camp now , but it several years ago, I tool a small galvanized boat trailer built 18in. walls, put an aluminum camper shell with a piano hinge to raise it.
    I went solo from La. To Tombstone then on to Deadwood. Best trip ever.
    Enjoy while you’re young.

    What a great setup you've created - the hinged grill and instant canopy - uber awesome and you'll never regret all the epic trips taken in your own hand-built camper! Thanks for sharing.

    I'm looking at doing a small trailer for behind a motorcycle. Hard side, pop up, and less than 350 pounds loaded. No pressure. Seeing the ingenuity here helps me stay focused. Thanks.

    @edem3937 Před 7 lety +8

    Fantastic! Sweet and simple. Love all the "perks" and yet was not complicated. I live full time in a tiny home 96sf (no loft) and it's too large. I want to down size even more, so this video really gave me some wonderful ideas. Thank you both so much.

    @RobertsBulgaria Před 7 lety +79

    8 minutes was not enough, I would have loved to see the project build from start to finish. I have a Stock Trailer about which, I will do something similar albeit, for an all year round trailer will require insulation and a wood burning stove. Good video, just could've done with more information.

  • @russellcrowder7700
    @russellcrowder7700 Před 7 lety +15

    very nice build. I bought the same type mattress it came rolled up put it in place and opened it up, its the easiest way to get in the camper. also you can never have to many out side hooks .

    @tigerbailey741 Před 4 lety

    I just came across this video, and loved it❤it reminds me of a memory of having to sleep in the back of my dads truck, he had a shell on the back, when we lived in Alaska. We were tent camping. It rained so hard. We had alot of fun, it was great living there.

  • @leoalfaro1313
    @leoalfaro1313 Před 7 lety

    Love this idea. I was looking into buying a van and doing a van conversion but with the prices of some of these vans plus the cost of material it just wouldn't be in the budget, but this is way more doable. You have given me some great ideas to eventually get started on my very own. Thank u
