If it doesnt have a soft start motor the entire trailer will shake when it kicks in and wake you up. Will drive you insane

Shower in a van? How can you carry all water and dispose it? How many times you can shower in a van? It’s waste of space and efforts

You can 3d print many of the mounting parts as well. This would not be viable for load bearing structures, but for lighter duty applications they work great. I went on thingiverse and just printed out all the brackets I thought were interesting to get a better understanding of working with the material.

Freaking awesome dude. Just stumbled across your channel. I’m in a very early stages of just doing my research before I buy my cargo trailer for my conversion. Over the next week or so so I’m gonna watch all your videos. Hopefully, I’ll be able to reach out I’m gonna have some questions for you. It would be great if you could help out

urine only toilet...? so... Ok. Altogether really nice job. A Lot to borrow here.
@headdown1Ай бұрын
Nice! I'm writing this from my own cargo trailer to RV conversion (16 ft). I have never seen a urine only toilet. Wouldn't that be ummm...inconvenient? Have you looked into a compost toilet? Mine is an Airhead, and it cost about $1000 Canadian or $700 US. It is urine diverting, so the urine goes into a two gallon jug that needs to be emptied every few days. The "solids" tank can be coco coir or peat moss. I use my own sawdust after leaving it out in the sun for a few weeks in a clear plastic garbage bag to kill any bugs. This medium only needs to be changed once every 4 to 6 weeks. At the end of the 4 to 6 weeks, the container is no more full than when it was fresh. A fan runs 24/7 which dehydrates everything, so it mostly disappears. No odor, as the air in the room is drawn into the toilet, then exhausted outside through a vent in the wall or ceiling. Odors can't escape the toilet. When you want to change it you can just invert the solids container into a big garbage bag and legally throw it in the garbage or take it to a dump. Add fresh coco coir or sawdust, and you are good for another 4 to 6 weeks. I have been full timing for 7 years and no longer go to dump stations. I don't have holding tanks, except for a 100 gallon fresh tank in the bed of the Ram. I am currently on my bush lot in Quebec for the summer, and will head to Arizona/California in mid - October. I boondock 100% of the time in the desert, and have 1800 watts of solar and 900 amp hours of LiFePO4 batteries. After the solar system, the compost toilet was the next best addition.

The aluminum on the roof of these trailers is kinda flimsy when having to stand or crawl around on top of it when installing solar panels, it doesn’t look like you felt it was necessary to reinforce the ceiling prior to installing the furring strips

They did an excellent job on the spray foam, what’s the difference between Havelock wool and spray foam as insulation material?

How harmful are the chemicals used in this spray foam? Is it toxic or non toxic?

If you are considering adding solar panels to the roof, was it necessary to measure first before installing the fan with consideration to the placement of solar panels?

Very frustrating to watch videos like this that exclude critical steps, while showing details of common sense aspects. Like how, for instance did you cut away the center section of the stud without damaging the outer skin?
