  • I finally finished the build of my cargo camper! Then I finally put this video together :)
    This is the full build from start to finish showing all the major step and the finished product.
    Check out my other videos for detailed breakdowns of each step. Let me know what you think in the comments. Thanks for watching!

    Since I've gotten so many questions about the cost, I put together a short video breaking down how much it cost

      Well done mate.
      Made with pride and attention to detail.
      Good job and enjoy your labour.

      I guarantee it is built much better than any trailer you could buy today.

      How much is it a hassle to take to rv resorts? Some of them won’t allow homemade builds like this. Is it ever a problem for you guys?

    I am a seamstress and know how difficult matching angles and patterns can be. You did a great job making diamonds at the end of your cushions! The whole build looks great!

    all jokes aside this is actually one of the more impressive builds out there. I admire your work sir.

    The vinyl flooring attached to the wall with the white molding is outstanding..!! Great job with the whole built, looks very comfy..👍🏽

  • @Gooch1989
    @Gooch1989 Před rokem +13

    I love how well you explain the process without being long winded. And the build is amazing. Gave me lots of ideas

  • @Giitzerland
    @Giitzerland Před rokem +5

    For people doing vinyl on walls, or floor, it's best to use a 1/16" V-notch trowel(1/8" for floors if level, 3/16"-1/4" if uneven surface)to spread the mastic(glue), it will give you a much more uniform, and reliable surface to stick your vinyl to. I'd also suggest using a multi-purpose mastic, to get with moisture, mold, and water proofing.

  • @ThatGuy-dj3qr
    @ThatGuy-dj3qr Před rokem +14

    I am so impressed, not just with your build, but also the video. You did an excellent job of filming and describing your work. There area ton of sub-par videos on this subject. Yours rises well above most I have seen.

  • @ColeChapman205
    @ColeChapman205 Před 2 lety +18

    Thanks for this series. I’m literally copying your build ideas. Minus the shower and bed as I need that space for my ATV. I love the shiplap roof and the glue on fake wood walls.
    Where your sink is I’m gonna put a cubic mini grizzly. And then have a stove and sink.
    I’m probably gonna get the bottom of the trailer spray foamed.
    If you guys want I can post my progress so far

  • @Docholliday1106
    @Docholliday1106 Před 2 lety +2

    The rear doors can open up to some cool opportunities. Add an awning and a screen, and you can potentially have a great view during meals or enjoying a frosty beverage.

    • @befreebuilds

    Thank you for sharing this build!! My husband and I are making plans to live off-grid and nomadic. All things being built for success, he is required to have his own man cave...uh, trailer. My image is that his private space will be pulled behind our stealth wagon.
    All the things you have put in your trailer are what we are looking to have for him... except a soaking tub instead of a shower.
    Thank you for sharing!!

    I like it a lot. What else would one need. Maybe a door for the bathroom and a diesel heater. But thats totally up to you. I would be very happy to have one like yours, and a car to pull it 😅. Happy traveling!

    I am soooo glad I bumped into your channel. This is the second video of yours that Ive watched and I must say that you create with the intent to teach, and I thank you for that. Other people just talk and talk and talk and their video is 25 mics long. You speed up your videos also to abbreviate the length. As a newbie, the only input I can offer is maybe slow your speech a little and offer the make and model of the items youre installing. Other than that, I cannot thank you enough for your time and effort to help others. God Bless you sir! 👍

    Although the grey and black tank straps are likely galvanized, id still probably paint them for looks and more structural integrity from oxidization, but i freaking absolutely love the vinyl walls, ill definitely be doing that on my conversion, probably same color to, but possibly brown wood look over grey ,but grey for floors

  • @LookUpTheKalergiPlanWhitePeeps

    I love the way your trailer turned out, great job! If you wind up having any leaks down the road on windows or roof, try butyl tape and dicor. What you did with the walls is genius!

    Is there a bathroom door? I didn't see a slider or pocket door, great build, very nice. Perfectly done by you. Don't worry about what others say on the negative side either. Unless it's a fire safety or something like that. Take it with a grain of salt. It's a great little place. Hey if your in the dog house with the wife you have a roof over your head lol. You just need a TV. Lol

    Great job dude. I’ve had the itch to do this for some time now. I own a custom cabinetry shop, so I’ve got the gear to really kick it up a few notches, but I think that’s what holds me back is my projects tend to grow in both scale and cost! You did a great job checking off all the boxes without going nuts! Hope you have a blast with it!

    • @befreebuilds
