Oh man, I don't want to bash on this because it's a cool project but I have a lot of concerns here. The biggest and only one I'll bring up is that it was swaying during the test drive. Trailer sway is extremely dangerous and will cause a major accident that could be fatal. To correct Trailer sway, you need more weight in front of the axle than behind it. This build has all the weight in the kitchen area and almost no tongue weight.

Great project man, just 2 points I thought you need to attend to; 1. The water bottle will eventually pull those screws holding it as it's wood, 2. The door hinges being outside are a big security risk unless your door locks on all sides.

Yes, the water bottle should be on the inside as part of the kitchen. This would make it easier to refill.

I started building TDs in 1994. We changed the design for increased strength. We put the base/floor on top of 2 2x3s and glued & screwed into them from the top. Then when we attached the walls we screwed into the 2x3s. This offset loses a little inside height, but strengthens the structure by 1000%, lol. Consider it next time. Thanks for the video and great job. Looks like you had fun and that is what it is all about.

Nice build. I am sure you will enjoy it. I work at a trailer dealership, so I see problems on trailers that others do not. First the bolt together frame kits are fine provided you do not overload them. You seem to be in good shape there. I would advise you to check all bolts that are accessible for proper torque and security. They often work loose after a few trips. Once the frame has some miles on it this will get better and less frequent. Also your choice to use a spacer on the trailer wheel in our experience has been problematic. We will never use them at the shop rather find a wheel with correct offset. They do effect balance and as in your case wheel studs are too short for full thread engagement of the lug nut itself. This is a recipe for lugs nuts that will loosen and cause damage the wheel, studs and possibly loss of the wheel while rolling down the road. I don't mean to be a downer as you should be proud of your build, but I wanted to share my concerns with you. Safe Travels.

I normally would not comment with so many criticisms but you are selling this camper to someone and as such, there is a responsibility to the potential buyer to be aware of some MAJOR issues with this project. While the end result looks nice for your B Roll footage, there were so many issues watching this video that the end result is more like an HGTV "renovation" than an actual, functional camper. - As others have commented, the all-black and effectively no insulation means that this thing will BAKE in even slightly warm weather - The electrical terminals should really have covers protecting the metal terminals from accidental touches since you are talking about enough current to injure someone - The roof trusses were attached with pocket holes and have no supporting structure along the side walls - The rear tailgate hinge is fully exposed and the entire door opening is without a gasket or ever rubber trimming (the bottom of the hatch is exposed plywood in multiple scenes) - All walls are a sandwich of 1/8" plywood, 1/2" rigid insulation, and 1/4" plywood with no vertical studs or structure. Vibrations and flexing from road use will tear this apart - The doors appeared to have no gaskets or weatherproofing and hinge screws are exposed on the exterior making it VERY easy to remove the door and break into the trailer - The subfloor was just painted plywood. This will have water damage in less than one season - Joints were filled with epoxy and sawdust filler (good technique) but then not reinforced with fiberglass taping - rigid joints on a trailer built this poorly will crack and split - Using 12" glass weave without overlapping and extending past/around the edge means that there is no continual structure or strength around corners - again leading to cracks - AC/Heat unit holes appeared to just be punched through the exterior without any gaskets, sealing, or other means of preventing rot and water egress - Conditioned interior space but no moisture barrier means condensation inside the walls or on the surfaces (which as pointed out are not very waterproof) - All finished surfaces are painted plywood that appeared to have major tear out from being cut with a table saw and jigsaw with incorrect blades for material Lastly, you focus a lot on the LiTime products and feature them heavily in this video as well as a link to their products in the description, but you never disclose in the video if you were compensated for or given the products or have a standing partnership with the company (I assume you do seeing as you have an affiliate link with a discount). Similar issue with the EcoFlow AC/Heater. This is an FCC violation and could get you in a bunch of trouble. Your channel has enough subscribers and videos at this point that you should be aware of the laws behind proper disclosure for advertisement and sponsorship programming.

I love your build and the tips I've learned watching this. The only thing I questioned was adding the jacks to the trailer. Functionally, it is a great solution. However, jacks of this type are usually made from metal that oxidizes and corrodes very easily, so greasing the screw and hinge points will be a constant maintenance need. But admittedly, this is my engineer & acft mechanic side of me - as usual - over thinking things. Still a great build and thank you for posting this with awesome video and narration!

Nice build. You designed and built it very well. The jacks were a great idea for stability. The only thing I would have done different would have been more roof insulation and used a white roof coat on top of the black. 1500 lbs is a decent weight. Figure another 2-3 hundred when it's finished and loaded.

@ryanhaydon9187
@ryanhaydon9187 2 ай бұрын
No to outright say you are wrong, I am curious as to what code you are referring to that derates its cabling to 50%. The ambient temp from NEC Table 310.15(B)(16) allows up to 167 degree F. He isn't even bundling cables so I don't see and issue there either. In homes all across America there is cable being run thru insulated space within attics and walls. There are also vehicles/trailers built just as he has done that are regularly sold to customers. I like to learn so please tell me if I am wrong from my understanding of the NEC.

Probably more of a good weather camper i guess. Wouldnt trust it in the rain. You really need to properly seal those doors. Water will easily get in.

I used to work for Fleetwood Motor Homes back in the early 90s, and I've probably built at least 3000 of these things. A couple tips for others wanting to build their own trailer. First, the subfloor needs to be HEAVILY treated. A couple of coats of paint won't do it, unless you only drive on dry roads in dry conditions, like in the Sahara desert. Especially since it can't be replaced without completely destroying the trailer. The wood should be marine grade, treated with a sealer, and then undercoated. It will see the same conditions as the underside of your car, so it should be built to withstand them too. Insulation in the ceiling and walls should fill the entire cavity, don't leave air gaps. The insulation also provides structural rigidity. A tree branch falling onto that 1/4" roof, even with fiberglass over it, will punch holes with an air gap underneath, whereas the insulation would help cushion the blow with a completely filled cavity. If you can't fit sheet insulation in the gap, then use spray foam and trim it down with something like a bow saw (used for trimming trees and shrubs). Also, rather than liquid nailing the subfloor to the frame, it should be suspended on top of thick rubber strips and bolted down. That will completely insulate the box from the frame rigidity and allow it to float, which will reduce shock stress on the structure. Otherwise, this looks like a great project. I couldn't build something like this without keeping it, lol.

I encourage you to apply some aluminum L-angle to the inside walls and floor to make sure you don't loose it just by hitting a couple of potholes. On an enclosed cargo trailer the vertical studs are made of metal and welded to the deck frame. A few 2X4's aren't gonna cut it.

I like many of the things you decided to incorporate in your build... thanks for sharing! With black as your choice of color, you will certainly NEED to have that AC, as you've created a solar oven on wheels. I've never understood some folks preference for black, as they think it's "cool" when it's actually "hot as hell". Also, it looks like your trailer is tail-heavy, which is why the trailer "wags" in clip of you towing the trailer @26:17 (it's really noticeable when you run the video a 2X) . This is dangerous and can cause a wreck. One solution in your case would be to move the axle back toward the rear, or ALWAYS to load a bunch of gear in front to counter-balance the heavy tail. Be safe out there!

With most of the weight in the back of the tiny camper you must make sure the weight on the towe hook will be at least 60 kilogram otherwize driving at higher speeds will make the camper sway out of control.

The cleats you used to hold the main side walls are an issue because if water does get in it will tend to drip down and then pool. Since the cleat is pressure treated, it will be okay but the plywood will absorb the moisture and wick the water up and then delaminate and decompose very quickly. If not using marine grade plywood you have to build these things with water shedding in mind as an EQUALLY important factor with the trailer being the most important. Water will find a way in. Always.

your biggest mistake was not replacing the stinger with a heavier straight supported bar that is welded on, the factory stinger on the front of those is easily warped junk usually and in upgrading you can allow it to swap under your bumper for tight turns and to have a properly supported square beam jack that is removable or folds out of the way another thing to consider is getting rid of the U bar axle they give you in those kits as they bend easily if you hit a rock making the cheap rims included pop off on the road if you fail to notice it, a custom weld it yourself 5 lug hub kit and a nice square pipe that fits will allow bigger tires and better stability saying this because i recently had to upgrade a stinger on parents trailer as well as axle and tires as it made moving it a chore and the lack of ground clearance also made it easy to damage, i also ended up removing most bolts and welding the parts together plus added more floor supports to allow for better weight distribution as the steel floor was bending inwards from the 4 small support beams they gave it when it would have been solid with 6, also added a winch to reduce the amount of work needed to load it but you don't really need that on a camper, with the upgrades added i could move it by hand and no longer feel sore after moving the stinger around to load or park it as the added jack made things far easier also when i was building a mobile utility shed trailer i found that using bolted on aluminum or welded on steel framing with 1" square pipe with washer riveted aluminum sheeting made a far lighter and stronger frame than wood, the solid foam insulation is a good choice though as despite the ratings given it doesn't let air pass freely so it's actually cooler/warmer that fiberglass which rodents/bugs also like to nest in, plus it makes wiring easier speaking of wiring if you use pvc conduit for everything and set up boxes on each end that are sealed you can wire the whole trailer and any goodies you wanted, propane, lights, stove solar and all others and still have room for a bed and powered roof vent to help with heat and cooking fumes, to solve the bathroom issue weld a trailer hitch receiver to the back and make an attachment to hold a toilet seat frame over a bucket with lid, you may wanna store a 50 gallon water tank under the floor but sewage should be dumped asap on small units also if your roof is made strong like the walls you can do all sorts of neat stuff up there from storage to power generation which can also go from the trailer plug back to the truck if using a 7 way round, just remember to use a charge controller mppt type and same batteries as your truck if sharing draw for charging, could probly fit a 400W panel up there or 3x 100w panels if done carefully

A very interesting build for sure. I was concerned from the beginning with the selection of trailer. I have one of those upon which we haul our kayaks and I know it is rated for about 1100 pounds. Perhaps the change in wheels and tires helped bring that up some, but wood weighs more than it looks. The 5x8 version of the trailer is rated for 1700 pounds and only costs $30 more so it might make a better starting point. I think you two did a great job in thinking this thing out as well as executing with great efficiency. I agree with other posters below that the weight aft of the axle is a concern, especially at speed. Overall a great build!

Wow, this and the other ones you built are amazing. You guy's have so much talent. You inspire me to some day build a few and give them to homeless. I keep watching to get ideas. Especially the electrical part. I need to watch that is slow motion. Was thinking. About the ones you build for homeless, what if the bed part is standing up like a Murphy bed. It is secured by a hook to a back frame and it can be pulled down and unfold legs. If this would be possible. It can be a little bigger on both sides. That extra space can be so when it's put away he can still go in the house and put a foldable chair and foldable table to stay cool inside the shade. The extra space will also be for storage. Storage can be like airline seat pockets that keep supplies tight or it can have the option to lock tight. It would help to organize. It would be nice to have a cover with elastic with a print that makes it look like part bush part rock. Homeless can put it and hide it on vacant land and from a distance it looks like a rock or bush. Thank you for all that you do.

Looks good only criticism I have is maybe next time for the connections use weatherproof shrink wrap connectors instead of the hardware store ones on things like your fuse panels etc, also did you add seals to the side doors around them? I couldn't tell so just wondering. All in all looks like a great build though you should be super proud of yourself.
