Building a Home in My DIY Travel Trailer

Having spent the last 3 years building a travel trailer I've learned a few things. Here's a little inspiration for those of you willing to put the time into building your own home on wheels.

From the USA 🇺🇸. Always enjoy the trailer building videos. Put off my build . I am glad for the insights and detailed financial analysis . Very entertaining and saved me from spending more time and money than I'd like. As you dudes know how to live . .😊 WE really like our warmer weather in Southern California, and camping is much easier than in your world offers. Your out smarting your investmental challenges is new to me.

Greetings... we are grateful for always sharing two adventures since the construction of the trailer 💚🇧🇷💚

Really like everything you have done and shared in your RV build. All the research, trial and error that you have done is awesome! Hopefully at some point we will get to watch every detail and episode of your amazing RV build. You have had so many really cool ideas and designs! I have enjoyed so much being invited and inspired by you and your whole family, and I thank you so much!

[@DrenalinAdventures]

I really appreciate that thank you.

What an awesome piece of Walnut for the table top. May I suggest to re-saw the Walnut (eg. If it is 2 inches thick, re-saw it into two 1 inch thick pieces). You could use one for the table top and the other for the kitchen sink. It would be such a shame to route out all that beautiful Walnut and have it go to waste. I look foward to the final results!

[@jerrygirdner2753]

Man that's going to be pretty dang nice when you get it all completed. And you want have that much money in it compared to going and buying one just like that. I've not looked at a new one that size but I'd say on the low side you're looking at about 15 grand or better. My hats off to ya. Semper Fi from an old Marine

[@stephenmonaghan6030]

Great job so far, Scott. You've certainly managed to cram in a lot of functionality without making the trailer look overcrowded. I'm really enjoying your videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@DrenalinAdventures]

Thanks 👍

If you drill a small hole, 1/8'', at the end of the crack on the one side the crack will stop spreading open. Total Boat has a lot of finishes and some good ideas for the finish. Almost any boat product will last a long time. Good luck in whatever you do, and I do love your build. I'm 77 this year and plan on starting of build of my own.

[@DrenalinAdventures]

Good to know!

[@jimkrug2586]

Eddie is coming along nicely Scott...I can't wait to see all the finishing touches when they are done. And by the way....nice wood!! 😉

[@DrenalinAdventures]

Thanks 👍lol.

[@davidpatrick1813]

With the wood box, consider the side door open as you stated but also find a way to open and have the slide wood boxes too.

[@DrenalinAdventures]

Definitely will look at that

[@BraxxJuventa]

The wood looks great Scott! Good luck on turning it into a nice table. 😁👍🏼

[@DrenalinAdventures]

Fingers crossed!

[@patbeaudoin4237]

I really like your choice of using walnut it's going to look really nice.That is the nice thing about designing it yourself you know how you are going to use the space.You are doing a great job Scott. 🙂🇨🇦👍👍👍

[@DrenalinAdventures]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@WanderingEyeOutdoorAdventures]

Great stuff Scott. I love your attention to detail. Cheers

[@DrenalinAdventures]

Thanks 👍

[@ecttreker9816]

Second side, the live edge would be my preference for sure. Wood stove is awesome also. 👍👍

[@DrenalinAdventures]

Thanks for voting

[@ArielleViking]

Wonderful update 👍🏻

[@ToddAldrich]

My son Ethan watches for every update since meeting you in Western Mi a couple of weeks ago. Love your channel

[@DrenalinAdventures]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@trishaharrison6183]

Looking really good Scott. You got some really cool ideas. You should be really proud of yourself❤️

[@DrenalinAdventures]

Thanks so much!

[@vandmatt]

If you are looking for a bigger sheet of that plastic corrugated stuff find a local sign shop. They use that a lot for sign backing

[@stephenbouchard8075]

Looking great Scott!

[@DrenalinAdventures]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@douglasscott5003]

Looking great. Thanks for sharing.

[@DrenalinAdventures]

Thanks for watching!

[@douggibson9084]

Sounds like a great plan Scott. When's the perch fishing weekend/ days.

[@DrenalinAdventures]

Hopefully soon

[@williamdonnelly798]

Looking good buddy!

[@DrenalinAdventures]

Thanks 👍

[@drcoloradojones]

Thanks for the ongoing updates! Definitely inspirational!!! Based on your 2-3 years of experience of regularly taking Eddie out on rough logging roads plus at least one transcontinental road trip, how is the build holding up? And are there any longterm maintenance issues that have emerged during that time? For a wood frame structure mounted on a trailer chassis, this build seems to have turned out much sturdier and durable than I would have expected.

[@DrenalinAdventures]

Its still going strong 👍

[@davidpatrick1813]

It is likely too late at the time of the video release and what you are actually doing now. The table top, you may be able to find a way to have the slab sliced again, in half ... and have two related slabs .. for other projects. It looks quite heavy for the able mount.. I use the same system.

[@DrenalinAdventures]

I’m going to try it and see where it goes.

[@Mark-zz9rt]

Seen ya heading north on I-75 last Wednesday around Clio Michigan exit.

[@DrenalinAdventures]

👍

[@conniewaite1371]

Think i would use a strip of walnut on the ceiling as a cap to hide the wires but make it snap in place for easy access.just a thought

[@DrenalinAdventures]

👍

[@misinformationwithrandy]

Would furniture grade walnut veneered plywood work for the cabinet fronts? Or are you wanting something that's solid wood?

[@DrenalinAdventures]

I’m looking to use solid wood with some unique features

[@jimhohl9003]

Your window shade material is not transparent as you stated...it's translucent ( cannot be seen through, but allows some light to pass through). 😉

[@justinflott5133]

Cord wood cabin trailer?

[@DrenalinAdventures]

lol, maybe one day.
