- This is a 6 x 10 x 6'3" Camping/Bug Out Cargo Trailer Conversion. We wanted it small, lightweight, comfortable and inexpensive. I think we achieved those goals.
Edit!!! - The "living area" receptacles are on the passenger wall, not the driver's side wall as I said in the video. Also, I put a receptacle cover on the AC receptacle inside the cabinet.
For those interested in the air conditioner install, email me at tinytrailers4bigadventures@gmail.com and I'll send you pics and a diagram.

A suggestion for you rear hatch door is to make a deck on the ramp. You could have a bug screen installed at the entry of the trailor. Have it set up to use as an extra relaxing space. Place a little portable gas fire pit on it! Think of all of the beautiful evenings you could enjoy in your favorite camp chairs enjoying the beautiful sunsets and star gazing. Enjoy your trailor. It is so nice! ❤️❤️
Thanks for checking out the video. I believe that is what the couple that bought the trailer are doing with the ramp.
Never understood this. You're camping. What wrong with setting your chairs 12 inches lower on the ground.
Love the simplicity of this build gave me a lot of ideas for my own v nose 6x14. The door handle is ingenious and simple.
Thank you. Glad you got so.e ideas from it.
Totally agree.
This is a really nice sized and attractive, modern looking trailer, I think its gorgeous!
Nicely outfitted and with a light, airy and uncluttered interior.
Nice job insulating the ramp door, most don't, which isn't a good choice for cold weather camping.
Your lovely little Travel Cabin will give you many years of miles, smiles and memories as it keeps you comfortably sheltered from the weather outside.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the kind words.
Some prankster is going to lock y'all into that thing! Amazing build.
Thank you. When inside, the padlock goes in the flip latch on the door. With the lock in place, the bar lock can't be engaged to lock the door.
I have always had that thot lurking in the back & not all rigs have an escape hatch.
In this one, perhaps the rear door could enable that function...if latches were inside only.
Bug out, eh? Red certainly catches the eye so if some black circles are painted on, then you can call it a 'ladybug'!🤭
I was going to say the same thing! lol
My husband and I have been considering something like this, as we don't really need our 6x12 trailer for hauling much anymore. I think we are now convinced to go ahead and do it!
Go for it. If you need any info, just ask.
The shed door handle is brilliant
Thank you. Wish I could take credit for the idea, but i stole from another CZcamsr. It's much easier than cutting out for a RV latch.
Oh my goodness, the amount of storage space and countertop space is amazing! Good layout and such a clean design. This is really, really, REALLY nice! Thanks for the tour!
Thank you for checking out the video and the kind words. That trailer was a fun project.
Beautiful! I am starting from scratch on a 7'x14' cargo trailer. I live full time in a camper right now. Your videos will help me a lot. Thank you!
Thanks for watching. Good luck on your build.
Find another teacher. This is a dangerously shoddy build.
@@mjremy2605 hmm. I'll take a closer look.
@@mjremy2605 Great ideas Too bad it was not up to your standards
looks good i would like to see more about the way your AC is vented. I have seen so many different ways people have done it, some make sense some don't.

We just purchased this trailer. Looking forward to trying it out and enjoying it!
Congrats. Enjoy it. Any questions, just ask.
It looks like you could be locked in with that bar lock. I hope that’s not the case but if it is you really need to look into options to rectify the situation
@@clairehiggins7120 you could but we lock the padlocks to the bars so they can't lock us in. They would have to cut the locks to lock us in.
We are enjoying the trailer very much! We did however decide to remodel the interior to better suit our needs. More storage, sturdier bed, bigger AC...etc. love the trailer though and am looking forward to many more adventures in it!
Yeah, it was pretty basic in this video
Sure is beauty. The v nose is a big asset
Thank you. This one had an extra deep V - 28".
Looks good John. Can't wait to see your next one.
Thank you. Next one is going to take a while. It's my personal project and my wife is playing designer.
Very nice my friend...beautiful job. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you
great work, the only head scratcher is the cord powering the fridge poking out of the counter
Thanks. They wanted the fridge and a receptacle to be able to run on solar or shore power. This was the solution they designed.
Very nice. I like the handle configuration. It looks sturdier than an RV handle, easier to use for arthritic hands, I bet.
Thank you. It works really well. I wish I could take credit for the idea, but I got it from another CZcamsr - Camp And Camera. It makes dealer with non-RV doors much easier.
OH Man a simple build....something I've been thinking about for awhile. Thank you for the video👊👌
Thanks for watching.
brother man that is a job well done!!
Thank you
great trailer! nice job narrating! thank you for sharing.
Appreciate the kind words. Thank you.
Very functional, well done 👍
Thank you
LOOKS GOOD! your getting better with each one you build
Thank you
So what this video needs is a wide shot of the entire interior. All of the shots are close in and its hard to get a feel of what you built. Although the close in of each part is excellent. Just want to see the entire interior.
Great job! Likr see u put a lock system on those batteries!
Thank you
that's all a person needs for camping or hunting as for me I got a rpod and I love it
Thanks for checking it out.
Nice job! Well done!
Thank you. Appreciate the kind words.
Nice job! Fits all your goals perfect.
Thank you
I like that door handle solution.
Congratulations on a really nice build. May your travels be safe and joyful.
I would humbly offer the thought you replace the modified sine wave inverter to a pure sine wave inverter, because your TV may be at risk, as would be any other electronics you might wish to charge. Also, you might wish to reconsider the latch on the outside, as someone could lock you in while you are inside. Perhaps the latter thought might be based on a little paranoia, but knowing some of the broken thinkers out there, I would never want to be placed in such a vulnerable position.
Appreciate the kind words and insight. We've been using small modified sine inverters to run dorm fridges for a quite a while with no issues. My first trailer (built in 2012) runs a dorm fridge, microwave & LCD tv (pre LED days) and has performed flawlessly. We'll look at changing them out if the need arises. We've done many, many tests about being locked in and as long as a lock is locked into the flip latch, the bar latch will not keep the door closed. That being said, if a broken thinker wants to wreak havoc, they will find a way. I work very hard at being aware of my surroundings and moving if at all uncomfortable.
Informative and solid advice and considerations regarding a trailer conversion- awesome

No fair. Someone's gonna have to sleep in "the crack in the Earth!"
We both know who that will be.
You'd get 25 to 30% more power gathered from your panel with an MPPT controller.
Since that build, I've gone to MPPT controlllers.
Yes, PWM is useless.
@@mjremy2605 Long before MPPT came to be, PWM was what ran systems. I agree that MPPT is more efficient, for as basic a system as this one, PWM works fine.
with the back why don't you attach two jacks to level the door and have a mosquito type netting to go around and use it as a porch...make a portable table to eat off of....etc....really like how you constructed everything....
Thank you for the kind words. I didn't attach jacks to the ramp because I wanted the cleaner look. These are the jacks used to support the ramp. The top of the jack fits in the rubber door protectors on the ramp.

I put pool noodles on the ramp door cables of mine to keep from running into them and tripping
Does that lock pose the problem of someone being able to lock you inside?
Not if you lock the flip latch of the barlock. If the flip lstch is locked, even if someone pushes the bar over the door, you can push it open ffom inside.
I love this video…very informative! I’m getting ready to convert a 6 x 10 into a second unit for my hotdog cart business. Do you have a tutorial on your built from start to finish? I’m really interested in how much did it cost to insulate a trailer of that size.
Thanks for checking out the video. I don't have a tutorial, I just get an idea, draw it out and build it. Based on today's cost of foam board insulation, it should cost about $200+/- to insulate with 1" foam board.
@@TinyTrailers4BigAdventures thanks for your quick response! Also, that’s good to know on the insulation…sounds pretty reasonable.
Perfect!
Thank you
Nice
Thank you
There is a security issue with the door latches, someone could potentially lock you in the trailer. Find the way to prevent that - block the latches in the open position. Stay safe! :)
Appreciate the concern. With a lock in the flip latch, the barlock can't come down enough to lock the door. We tried over 20 times between my wife, my neighbor's wife & his daughter and all 3 of them could push the door open with no problem.
Someone could lock you inside with the bar locks, so you might want to add some kind of latch to lock them in the open position when your inside just in case
Simply put the lock in the flip latch after the barlock is opened and you can't be locked inside. We tried it with several people and even my neighbor's 6 year old pusehed the door open with no problem. If you forget to put the lock in the flip latch, you could have a problem.
Well done, I wish I understood how to do the electric stuff.
Thank you. If you need some advice, email me at tinytrailers4bigadventures@gmail.com and I'll try to help you out. Where are you located?
HOT AIR RISES COLD AIR SINKS...WOULDN'T THE A/C WORK AND COOL FAR MORE EFFICIENTLY MOUNTED UP HIGH? GREAT BUILD THANKS FOR SHARING.
Thank you, and yes, an AC is more efficient mounted up high. We just didn't have a place to do that. With the trailer being 6 x 10, and the AC rated for 150 sq. ft., the trailer gets plenty cold.
If you are inside with the doors closed, and someone latched the bar arms on the outside, would you have a way to get out?
With a lock jn the latches, the bar arms can't go down far enough to keep the door closed. We've tried this numerous times and my neighbor's 8 year old daughter can push the door open.
DOOD!
Nice build! How do you keep someone from locking you in?
Thank you. Once a lock is put into the flip latch, the bar can't go down far enough to hold the door closed. We have tested this onseveral trailers and even 7 year old girls can open the doo with no problem.
nice one! is this an aluminum trailer or steel? you said it weights 1900lbs, do you know what was the weight before conversion?
Thank you. It's not aluminum. Empty weight was 1000 lbs. This was a very lightweight build.
Real nice build! Would you please put link to your parts? like the fan and the solar kit?

We bought a pallet of the solar panels, so the cost was worth it for us. Having a single panel shipped is ridiculously expensive. I'm sure you can find a deal on panels near you. Since I built this trailer, I have switched inverters to the Kreig 1500 watt and for a single panel system, I use an Epever 20 amp MPPT controller . A little more "oomph" in the inverter and more efficiency from the controller.

Hope this helps. Thanks for joining the channel
Awesome. Instead of hand pump why not have water overhead for gravity fed.
I would remove the outside bar lock handle so people won't lock you in. Or make an EMERGENCY window size hatch at another side to only lock & unlock from inside.
Thanks for checking ou the video. The hand pump allows them to have the water tanks under the counter and kedp the upper area clear. When you put the lock back in the flip latch, the bar handle can't catch on the latch and keep the door closed. We tested it many times before we put the shed handle on.
Did you do family garden trailers?
Yes I did.
Can you show the ventilation behind the ac window unit? I bought a window unit to go in my conversion and I'm very interested in your setup.
Email me at tinytrailers4bigadventures@gmail.com and I'll send some pics and a diagram.
I was going to ask the same question. I just bought a 6 x 12 and want to do the AC like that too. I’ll send you an email. You did a nice clean job.
@@gerrycollins9409 emailme and I'll send some pics
Very nice work and great idea of using shed lock. Adding those flush RV locks are extremely time consuming. Will definitely do that for my next build. Do you use passive ventilation for the AC or did you add a fan?
Thank you. I like the shed locks - drill a 1/2" vs cutting out for a handle. The AC vents directly thru the floor. I built an exhaust duct with a baffle that directs the air down. The air intake for the side vents are separated from the exhaust air by the trailer frame. No extra fans for air movement with the AC.
Do u have a video on how to wire up that switch u use to switch back and forth from solar to shore power?
Email me at tinytrailers4bigadventures@gmail.com and I'll send you a wiring diagram.
What do you do if someone closes the door latch from outside? Your screwed?
If you put the lock in the flip latch on the door, no one can lock you in. We tried it 10 times with my wife inside and she had no problems opening the door.
That black and red looks great but not very stealthy
Than you. Steath was not a concern when we built it out.
@@TinyTrailers4BigAdventures Fair enough, I just figured a bug out rig should always be as inconspicuous as possible. But it does look sweet
@@erikb8877 - His bug out wascto his own property in the middle of nowhere OK
Yes I do
I've noticed that you use sash shed windows for your trailers. What kind are they and do they stand up to all the shaking bouncing?
We use the shed windows most of the ti.e because people don't want to pay the cost of rv windows. A 12 x 22 rv window runs about $120+/-. A 12 x 18 shed window runs $35 +/-. Both are single pane temperedglass, so style and price are the deviding factors for most folks. I have well over 80 shed windows installed in trailers without a single issue. I build a wooden frame that is attached between studs for the window to be screwed into. The frame insures tbe window is solidly secured to the trailer, so bouncing and flexing doesn't affect them at all.
Have you had anyone go with a 12 volt "overland" refrigerator/ Freezer? Also have you had anyone get that trailer with brakes? 16 inch Jeep wheels and tires not the after market monsters but the OEM tires/ rims.
I am wanting to tow with a Jeep JKU and am concerned about a loaded trailer being more than my vehicle can stop. Going does not concern me it is the stopping that worries me. On the rims/ tires I want one size for trailer and jeep.
Haven't done the 12v fridge/freezer unit yet. I just bought a used Icec0 GO 20 (20 qt) to play with. This one is a bit of a power hog, so I don't think for my 12v use, it would be practical. Plugged in to 120v, it will make a great freezer. As for brakes, yes, we've ordered units with brake axles. I think you would need to put a "lift" kit on the axle to safely get 16" tires on the trailer.
What are your thoughts on a roof vent verses keeping the roof one solid piece and having vents on the side? I see a couple manufactures who put one up high usually drivers side and one down low on passenger side. Seems like that would be better than an opening in the roof.
The side vents are designed to remove fumes from the trailer (mowers, atvs, etc) and really only work when the trailer is in motion. I'm not a fan of cutging a hole in a perefectly good roof,but a powered foor vent is a great wat to move a ton of air. Sealed right, they don't leak. I like to put a Camco all weather vent cover over them. Helps keep rain away and lets you leave them open 24/7/365 if you want to. I've used a small $40 12v fan from Amazon in the sidewall of a trailer when we didn't want to cut a roof. It's not as powerful as a roof vent fan, but it moves air.
Here is a link to the 12v fan I told you about. It works pretty well.

The trailer looks great!...after having the trailer for awhile, do you have any problems/regrets with the floor mounted ac?
Thank you. I don't have the trailer. It was "adopted" by a couple to use as a vacation getaway. I've heard no complaints from them or others that I've done floor mounted ac's in. The biigest thing with making a floor mounted unit efficient is to feed it lots of air to cool the compressor & fan. Next is to use the roof vent fan to evacuate the hot air from the trailer while the ac is running. Once the hot air is moved out, the volume of cold air the ac puts out will fill the trailer quickly.
Something I just thought of and have never heard addressed...can something like this be insured?
Yes. I have mine insured for the purchase price of the trailer and the cash price of the material. (Labor doesn't get covered) If you title it as a travel trailer, it will be insured just lime a factory built for the total cost of the trailer.
Do you have any pics of how that ac is vented
Email me at tinytrailers4bigadventures@gmail.com and I'll send you some pics.
how come you didnt get a rooftop ac instead?
They wanted to be able to run the trailer on a 2000 watt generator. Also, a roof top is $1000+/-, and a window unit is under $200. The window ac keeps the trailer cold enough to the point that you have to turn it down. It was designed for a $150 sq.ft. room and the trailer is only 65 sq.ft. total, so it is more than enough.
I am wondering how you did the intake and exhaust through the floor for the AC unit ? Any photos or info you can give me ? I like that idea way better than having to cut a hole in the side of my trailer with the ac unit hanging out.
Email me at tinytrailers4bigadventures@gmail.com and I'll send you some pictures.

Email me at tinytrailers4bigadventjfed@gma.com and I'll give you some numbers.
How did you vent the AC unit
@Adam Payton - I wented the intake and exhaust through the floor. I built a duct to contain the exhaust air and force it out under the trailer. The intake vents have their own ducts to pull the intake air directly to them. There is a flooring joist that separates the intake and exhaust under the trailer.
This is exactly what I am about to do. May I ask what it cost to do the interior?

Not if you lock the flip latch on the door.
See my reply on previous comment...😊
Did you use sheetrock??
No sheetrock. The walls are 1/8" luan over the factory plywood and the ceiling is 1/4" luan. 2 coats of Kilz primer & 2 coats of paint.
The problem I have with the door, someone can lock you in....like the inside lock, but the door isnt for me, but overall nice job.....theres buttholes everywhere
Thanks for the kind words. I understand your concern about the door, but we found if we simply put a regular padlock in the flip latch on the door, the bar lock arm can't go down far enough to lock someone in. We tried this 10+ times with my wife in the trailer and each time she was easily able to push the door open. We tried it with one of the round locks and the bar lock could get down far enough to hold the door shut. I'm not a fan of the round locks anyway, this is just another reason for me to not use them.
Don’t understand having batteries inside, to off gassing fumes into the trailer
Thanks for checking out the video. There are 2 floor vents under the bed to allow air flow for the batteries. AGMs are designated safe for indoor applications with proper air flow.
How much would this go for? I am looking to buy one
It went for $7995, but with the increase in everything, especially trailer prices, it would be somewhere in the $9000 range.

@@TinyTrailers4BigAdventures not when we don't load it down for a week long adventure lol no really, hardly knownits there
It would have been best to mount air conditioner up high. You can mount heaters low because hot air rises.
Ideally, it would be higher, but this wascthe best set up for this lay out. The trailer is 6 x 10 - the 5k btu ac cools it with no problem mounted on the floor. A trailer up to 10 ft will cool very well with a 5 k wimdow unit mounted low. The sheer volume of cold air it puts out displaces the hot air. I appreciate you checking out the video.
Not sure I like the idea of the bar lock staying on, someone could just walk by and lock you in.
If you lock your lock in the flip latch on the door, the bar handle can't keep the door from being opened. If you push on the door from the inside, the door pushes the bar handle open. By keeping iy, you get double security.
Yep! That's what I do 🤗
@@TinyTrailers4BigAdventures Ah ok, I guess that's true as long as you make sure you do it each time.
@@Dougie085 - You'll ony forget once!
"The batteries are good for 2 days of refrigerator running 24/7".... What? :D
The frig draws 22.4 amp hrs/day. It will run 2 days on a 90 amp hr battery at 50% discharge figuring inverter efficiency at 85% ( which is low) with no recarge to the batteries. 2 - 95 amphr batteries are more than sufficient to run the trailer (fridge, lights and vent fan for 2 days.
that's great but you realize someone could lock you inside like that...
Thanks. As far as being locked inside, putting the lock in the flip latch on the door will prevent that. We tried it several times to be sure before the shed handle was installed. If there is still a concern, the bar lock handle can be removed as well.
What did your tongue/nose weight wind up being?
I honestly don't know. I just made a quick trip across the scale to get the total trailer weight.
Bugout trailer in red? You can't hide that red anywhere. Lol.
As for the side door, you'll get locked in there. With your Double security. There's no way you can open that from the inside if you get locked in there. Not a good move. Just saying
Red was what they asked for. If the padlock is locked in the flip latch, the bar can't go down enough to lock the door from the outside. My neighbor's 7 year old daughter can push the door open with the bar over the door. She did it 10 times, as did his wife & my wife. Thanks for your concern. Question - do you have first hand knowledge of anyone ever being locked in their trailer (besides some drunken prank among friends)? In 60 years of camping, 20 of which is in cargo trailer conversions, I've never seen or heard of it. And I've camped in some sketchy areas over the years.
@@TinyTrailers4BigAdventures ohh yeah. Friends of mine had an incident where someone cut their lock and replaced it with their own. Friends tried to get out and they couldn't get the door open bcuz the "bad guy" backed his truck next to the door. Then preceded to haul it away with them in it. Friend had to call the police. Once they got into a service area. Let's just say it didn't end well for the "bad guy" and the friends got hurt bad when the driver crashed it in a ditch, rolling it. Everyone ended up in the hospital for quite awhile. Police are not smart. They shot out the truck tire and the driver lost control.
@@tawnyschlienz9063 Holy crap. Guess they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. If someone is going to back their truck up against your door and cut off your lock and replace it, there's not a hell of a lot you can do. Truth is, if bad guys want to be bad, they will. My personal trailers have 2 exits lockable & openable from the inside cameras as well as exceedingly bright exterior lights. If something gets within 20 feet of the trailer, the cameras give an alert. within 5 feet, night becomes day. Then our traveling companions come out. They make very loud noises and will open a gaping hole in a trailer wall or...

Nope....not going to sleep in anything someone can lock you inside of! Didn't need to watch past that point.....
Appreciate you watching as far as you did. All of you "get locked in" folks have never actually dealt with a bar lock. If the padlock is put in the flip latch on the door, the bar can't hold the door closed. My neighbor's 7 year old daughter simply pushed the door open from the inside when we put the bar across the latch. As for someone "wiring" the door closed, I guess if there are gangs of ne'er do wells doing that, it could happen. Somekne could also park
their vehicle against the door, angle a piece of wood against it, lean a pic nic table against it & so on. If I have to worry about crap like that, I'm staying home. Also, why doesn't anyone talk about the rear doors being locked/blocked by bad guys?
@@TinyTrailers4BigAdventures I was talking about ALL doors with that type of latch! If you're going to build these trailers, why not remove them altogether and put rv handles and locks on? If you're that worried about theft, why leave it unattended?
@@oldschooldiy3240 - Tha handle I put on will hold the door closed just like a rv latch. If a bad guy wants in, he simply prys the door above & below a latch until the door bends and the latch itself pops. (We tried it on a wrecked trailer, it's pretty easy) The main reason for the bar lock is to insure the door doesn't accidentally open going down the road and is added security when not using the trailer. As for woorying about theft and leaving it unattened, do you lock your door when you leave? I think it's safe to say we have differring points of view on this, which is fine. Open didcussion helps everyone.
I don't understand why people are putting batteries and electrics under their beds. This is very unhealthy for our bodies and interferes with sleep. As you sleep, our bodies absorb electricity.
