BEAUTIFUL BUILD 💪❤ Thank you ! for sharing...

@@explorer867 Just SUBd and will do !
This is a great build and a great explanation of what works for you. I've had my 6 x 10 v-nose trailer for years now and have left it as just a shell because it had to serve as my main storage solution for my motorcycles. Now that I've been able to build a garage I'm scouring CZcams for different conversion builds that will still allow me to haul a bike or two to events but add some comforts for the overnight stays at tracks or rallies. Up until now It's just been an air mattress on the floor of an uninsulated metal box with limited ventilation. Your Spartan design as you call would give me just enough amenities to be comfortable but still have that utilities space when I need it.
Love the Spartaness that perfectly fits your needs!

Really like the slide bolt idea on the rear ramp door. 👍👍
Thank you for your comment.🤠
Having that antenna for radio communications is seriously important, you may only use it once in 5 years, but it is that 1 time that will save your life
Yes, that's true. 👍
I've been thinking about getting a 6x12 myself and was wondering if it would be enough room. Thanks for the video! By the way you're electrical setup is perfect, I am a master electrician, good work.
Larry, thank you for watching. Please Like, Subscribe, Ring the bell and let others know about our channel on your social media. Have a great week.
Your fuel pump insulation for noise and temp control, try using rock wool. A little pricey but very effective in both uses. I also love the layout. The spartan use of space leaves it open to quick change of use. Very effective.
Great suggestion! Thank you for watching.
I'M PARTIAL TO THE PROPEX HEATER , ESPECIALLY FOR A SMALL SPACE. DAVE AT BEND TRAILER HAS ONE ON HIS 6X12 FAMILY SIZED TEAR DROP. THEY TEND TO BE QUITE AND USE LESS WATTS FOR THE FAN AND NO PUMP NOISE. THE EXHAUST IS CLEAN PROPANE.
I LIKE YOUR BUILD WITH THE NOSE CABINET AND THE OPENESS. A MAGNETIC SCREEN FOR THE REAR DOOR WOULD BE NICE AND A COUPLE OF FOLDING LEGS ON YOUR REAR DOOR FOR A PATIO. YOU DEFINITELY GAVE SOME GOOD IDEAS AND YOUR BUILD IS VERY NEAT AND TIDY. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE TOUR.
Very nice tour of your electrical & heater details. Great build!
Thank you for your comment. Hope you got some good ideas on what you can do with your camper.

I like the open floor plan.
Hi richh9904, when your living space is on the small side it's nice to be able to move bunks, tables and chairs around. When not in use we store bunks in the truck or just fold them up and stack them in rear corner of the trailer. We have our 12 volt refrigerator in the truck also. This setup works very well.

I had one before and built a small box with 1/4 plywood and lined it with solid foam insulation board covered in yoga mat (glued to the foam board). the box was just taped together instead of other fasteners (except the top face to easily access the box). I was going to go back and glue or fasten, but it worked great and I didn't need to and made it easy to completely take apart. It wasn't my idea to do the small box with foam, I saw someone else on here do it
I have my pump inside my battery box also, but I made a pool noodle/ foam pipe insulation to wrap the pump in, then left over 1" pink foam I made a box out of that I have the pump in at the correct angle, the foam box was glued together with some construction glue to hold it together, that little pink box is just the right size to drop into the battery box comfortably. On a real quiet night standing next to the battery box I can just hear it cycle.
Good idea. Thank you for your comment. Please Like, Subscribe, Ring the bell and let others know about our channel
Hey Dave can you provide pictures on CZcams? Do you have a CZcams channel? Thanks
@Deborah Brebner sorry on two fronts, Trailer is parked for winter, no access with all the snow. Also no youtube channel.

Really nice video! I am in the process of getting parts ordered for building up a camper/trailer like you have done. Its helping a lot as I am planning much of the same things you are. Already have the heater, solar stuff, and a few other items. I am working on figure out an easy way to include water and a small shower/toilet area. This helps a lot with visualizing it.

@explorer867 I've been in Bend for 23yrs. Originally from the west side of the mountains.
I'm a transplant from the west side also.
Hello Rob, it's mighty nice to see you!
Thank you Rick. I decided to start posting video again. Hope to see you again one of these days and tell Linda hi for us.
Built to your own needs, flexibility in mind. You also still preserved the ability to use it as a cargo hauler if needed.
Yes, the build allows for flexibility. Thank you for watching and leaving your comment. Have a good week.
Hello 867, I'm going into my fifth summer in my 6X12 which is a work in progress. I just add and delete things as experience using the trailer dictates. For my diesel heater fuel tank and pump I built a plywood box for the nose of the trailer and lined it with rubber backed carpet. Then using 1/4 inch rubber tubing I hung the pump at the appropriate angle in the box next to the fuel container so as it was not touching anything solid. I found that mounting the pump solidly even with the supplied rubber mount transmitted the ticking right into the trailer which was eliminated with this mounting method. While I have added a bed and some storage to my trailer I do most everything outside so there is no kitchen or shower in it. I sure hope you enjoy your trailer as much as I enjoy mine. Thanks for the video.

Thank you for watching and commenting. I have had fun working on the trailer and even more fun using it lol. The trailer will continue to evolve over time. Have fun at the cabin
@@explorer867 Thanks! We're enjoying our time here!
Good video, and I am working on one at the moment. A compilation of ideas are very helpful on my build. My wife is the person that needs the most accommodation, a couple of nights is about the threshold, but early days and you never know.
wrxs1781, Glad you enjoyed and profited from watching the video. Enjoy your trailer conversion, take your time and make it for what fits both your needs. I'm sure our trailer will continue to evolve as time goes on, that's the fun part. Sounds like you take good care of your wife and her needs. Your both blessed to have each other.

@@explorer867 Do a video on the radio equipment. that would be interesting. what equipment you. use and the range it gives and how you use the equipment and its benefit id be really interested in watching that. could you do that? I was wondering about those long antennas it has.
Nice build. The heater muffler has a weep hole for drainage that needs to point down. Condensation can build up and cause issues.
Pickle_Hammer, Thank you for watching and commenting. I know I should have the muffler weep hole pointing down but this would make the muffler hang down below the frame of the trailer where it may get damaged. If it holds some moisture and eventually rusts out I'll just replace it. I like your profile picture👍 Please like, Subscribe, Ring the bell and let others know about our channel on your social media.

I am not sure if you had a chance to watch those videos from the gentleman from Australia that shows all that is needed to take in consideration, when installing a Chinese diesel heater. In any case, you are using the wrong diesel fuel container, DOT approved containers are yellow and have a different chemical formulation of the plastics in order to remain stable when the fuel is in them, also from a safety concerns, emergency personal are trained to recognize yellow as a diesel container. Red fuel containers are to be use Only for the storage and transport of Gasoline type of fuel. Thank you and good luck
Please, inform me where to turn to learn how to do the wiring of the electric sys. ?
Nice Job.... I am in the process of converting an 8x16 v-nose cargo trailer into an RV and Mobile Sign Shop. I am just starting the walls and cabinets construction. I just sold a 15-passenger shuttle bus that I lived in for 3 years and traveled out west during the winters. I had to sell the shuttle bus because I purchased a large format color printer to make contour cut decals/stickers, koozies, t-shirts, magnetics, banners, mousepads, etc. The large format color printer would have taken up a lot of storage space so I needed to get something bigger. I did a complete conversion series on the shuttle bus from the ground up and now am doing a new series on the cargo trailer conversion. They are on my YT channel.
Çok güzel kullanışlı
Very nice, only thing I would change is not have shore power low in the front where road grime will hit. In front of the door 3 ft. high would be my location. Enjoy your travels.
Thank you for watching and commenting. My shore power access is on the side of my trailer. I agree with you, it's not a good idea to place it on the front of the trailer where road spray and dirt would hit it.

Love you content and I’ve been thinking of doing such a thing to travel in and have a place to sleep and be safe I just have been trying to fill my brain with all kinds of ideas 😊 from where to start how big a trailer should I consider and my tow vehicle I’m open to all suggestions I can get
Thank you for your comment. The cargo trailer camper concept is a great one. This will allow you to build a camper that fits your needs. If it's only one person camping I would say you could get by with a 6x10 trailer. This would be less demanding on your tow vehicle and burn less fuel. If you like more space or theirs 2 people then the 6x12 would fit the need and not require much more fuel and the same tow vehicle likely will handle it. Both are nimble to drive and back up.
Have fun with your build and remember less is more.

Very nice. Could you tell me more about the Max fan? I am interested in one. Was it easy to install. I like what you have done with the inside of your trailer. Especially the useable modular space. So nice to see you!
The Maxxair fan Really helps keep the trailer cool in warm conditions. Open the windows and or the screen door and you really get good airflow. If your cooking inside, it will pull the moist air from the cabin space as well as cooking odors. The maxxair can be used in the rain as its waterproof in the opened position. This is a real improvement over the old-style roof vents. get one and enjoy all the benefits in your camper. Have a great week
Santa is everywhere.
Lol, I've heard that a lot. Have a great day and thanks for watching.
Great job your doing I have the same corgo trailer I have my motorcycle kayak and e bike that I bring whith me as I camp I take all 3 out and set up a air mattress I am looking in to the same heater by the sounds of it you like that heater thanks for the info look forward to seeing more john from cape cod ma

Great video. Not over produced or complicated. Easy to watch. I too have a 6x12 cargo trailer. It's a 1995 Wells Cargo. All steel and the panels are galvanized steel. Empty it weighs in at 1,000 lbs. It has no rust. I have looked at many different builds throughout the years. I am now a little older but can bot walk at this time. (I'm trying to learn how to again. So I have a ramp in the back. I am unable to use the regular RV door. I am installing a winch for the ramp to make it automatic. Switching put the manual front jack for an electric jack. I need to install a couple of windows. That's the only construction I will be doing. Keeping it like yours.....very simple and practical. Do you have any links to your cot and diesel heater. I currently have 2 buddy heaters and they have been great. Still are. I have liked and subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to watching your adventures and what not. Take care, stay healthy and stay safe!
Beach Bum good to hear from you. Hope your health improves so you can get out and camp. Sounds like your trailer will work great for your cargo trailer project. Let others know about our channel. Have a good week
This is the size I want to go with, except I want the barn (or double) doors for flexibility of use. Do you have any suggestions for manuals for adding electrical. I want to have a small air conditioner, as I occasionally need to keep boxes of food cool for a food outreach I help with.
Thanks for sharing!!! I really like it! It's nice and simple. Great job!!!

Try placing some rock wool insulation around your diesel pump. It works great on my diesel pump.

@19:34 😮. You may want to turn your muffler so the Hole 🕳 drains out to the Bottom.
Yes ideally the drain hole should point down. I however have it mounted on its side so it doesn't hang down and thus get hung up on anything. If at sometime it rusts out I will replace it. Thank you for your suggestion.
I'm not sure if it's been mentioned, but I've seen a few videos where ppl have stated that that small hole on what's supposed to be the bottom of the heater muffler is a drain hole for condensation.. maybe something to look into.
Thank you for your comment🤠 I have the muffler mounted this way because it fits the mounting location better. If it rusts out at some point I will replace it with a new one. Have a great day. Like, Subscribe, Ring the bell, share our videos with others.
Awesome build. Can you tell me how you did that interior corner metal trim along the ceiling edges? What is it and where did youbget it? I assume its used as a wireway as well? Thanks!
Hi leejohnson8800, look below this video and you will see my playlists. Check out the videos pertaining to the trailer. You will find the video that shows the trailer build.

Consider mounting muffler vertically. Any condensation build up should drain out to weep hole on the muffler.
Hi @peterdement, Thank you for your comment. Yes, your 100% right on having the weep hole facing down. Thank you for pointing this out as in most applications this is how it should be done. My endeavor was and is to keep the muffler from hanging down below the trailers support structure thus keeping it from becoming hung up and damaged by objects hitting it. If the muffler rusts out I will replace it. Please like, subscribe to the channel, ring the bell and let others on your social media know about the channel. Have a great day

Like the trailer tore
Wondering where does your wife sleep you only had one cought
Hi Jay, We have another cot for my wife that is set up on the opposite side of the trailer leaving a 10" path between cot's
Very nice job with the diesel heater installation. Did you use one of the expensive Wabasto/Espar mounting plates or did you find a knock-off one? Any diesel smell in trailer?
Hi William, this is one of the 5kw Chinese diesel heaters just like the one I installed 3 years ago in the 96 F250 truck camper canopy or as some call a cap. If you want you can go to my videos and check it out. I've had great luck with these heaters. I made the mounting plate and adapted a gutter downpipe fitting for the exhaust heat shield. This installation is and has worked for my application and I show what I've done as entertainment only I'm not a professional installer. I have to say that. No diesel smell inside the trailer.

Yes it's a good idea to cover that spare tire.... but not with a black covering that absorbs the sun's energy. White material would be better.
Like, Subscribe, let others know about our channel.
That's true, but I do prefer black so I compromised.
Have a great day. 🤠
Nice work. Regarding the heater fuel lines. What if there is a breach or leak? Point of the question is it might be nice to have a couple of shut off valves. I may have missed the clicking pump everyone talks about.. keep up the fun good work. KA7PAT
I usually have 2 or 3 girls with me, so the bed won’t work for me. I have a 7x18 with a California king.
Nice simple lay out, who's the manufacturer of that trailer ?

Nice clean build 😃 we are looking at Aluminum trailers are you happy with your model so far? Can you run the max air on your solar? 1 more question 😆 does your cots fit side by side and what cot are they?
Yes, we're happy with the trailer. I think it's a little above average quality. I have upgraded it over the last three years (look at my video playlist and check out the trailer videos). Yes, the solar "300 watts" is plenty to run the max air. The cott's are Timber Ridge brand and yes they fit side by side.

How is it holding up ??
Like, Subscribe, let others know about explorer 867. The black coating on bottom of trailer is Sherwin Williams ARMORSEAL TREAD-PLEX B90 T 104

By the way it's holding up very well. I painted the inside floor with same product in gray.
How did you mount your spare tire.
Thanks for watching. Please like, subscribe and let others know about our channel on your social media.
The tire mount I used is : Extreme Max 3004.4553
You can find these on Amazon.
You will want to mount it low enough on the rear gate so the tire doesn't interfere when the gate is fully down. Remove decking and place a block of wood sandwiched between outside skin and inside decking. Have fun with your build.🤠
Thanks my husband understands what you’re talking about.
These mounting brackets are strong.🤠
What did you use for your interior trim?
I used pine that I milled from trees on my property. Thanks for asking.
if you still have those tyres on your camper today.... they are past their used by date mate. just saying.
The Goodyear tires have a service life of 6 years according to Goodyear tires website depending on accumulated road miles.
The tires on my trailer were manufactured on the 22nd week of 2020 thus l still have 2 more years of service life left.
Other factures that influence tire life are accumulated milage and sun/weather exposure. My trailer is well within tread wear limits, and given that it's always stored inside when not in use tires have minimal exposure to the suns uv rays.
Thank you for your concern for our safety and have a great day 🤠
how much did your solar setup cost? nice work bt3

Do not bolt the fuel pump to the box find a way to hang it by the fuel line with a zip tie. I did it on mine 3 years ago. I guarantee it The mounted my heater in the box also. With only the outlet duct to the inside
Thank you for your idea on hanging the diesel pump. I have no problems with the heater itself inside the trailer, it is nice to have fuel tank and pump outside trailer in the toolbox. Like, Subscribe, Ring the Bell and let others know about our channel.
@@explorer867 I also have a rv style hot water heater also in the box. That way all combustions are outside But I would completely trust having the heater inside But definitely hanging the fuel pump for the heater made a world of difference for myself
@@daringermain4474 I will try hanging the pump. Thank you for your suggestion.
Would it be safe to put the heater in the box with the fuel tank? I was thinking about insulating the heater duct to the inside of trailer. What is the hot water heater you have? Thanks
@@georgea6403 The diesel heater manufacturers do make all in one units that have heater, fuel tank and pump inside a metal housing. Insulating the heater hose is a good idea if done with non-combustible insulation. I heat my hot water the old fashioned way, over the fire or on the stove.

Does anyone know if its (i guess..) legal to rent these conversations out? Either through outdoorsy or your own means?. I cant find any info on it. And outdoorsy doesnt seem to have any conversations on their site. Which is surprising.
Not sure.
