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 KZbin 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.

[@davidwoodard7025]

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.

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.

[@kokaneeflyer9235]

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.

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

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.

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

[@explorer867]

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. Please like, subscribe, ring the bell and let others know about our channel.

[@wildernessone6558]

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!

[@explorer867]

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

[@beachbum9869]

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.

I have a serious question about your spare tire mount. I would like to do that too. Are there metal studs inside the door?

[@explorer867]

Yes there is an aluminum support structure. I also filled the cavity inside door with wood 2x6 in area behind tire mount. Please like, subscribe and let others know about our channel on your social media.

Hello, nice trailer. How much was Total cost with trailer?

[@explorer867]

Hi Ricardosilva8106, the price of everything has risen on everything since I purchased most of the components for the build. Your probably looking at 11,000 to build it out with the lithium batteries and you doing the build. Please Like, Subscribe, Ring the bell and let others know about our channel.

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.

[@explorer867]

Not sure.

[@scottalcorn1973]

if you still have those tyres on your camper today.... they are past their used by date mate. just saying.

[@explorer867]

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 🤠

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

[@explorer867]

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.

[@daringermain4474]

@@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

[@explorer867]

@@daringermain4474 I will try hanging the pump. Thank you for your suggestion.

[@georgea6403]

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

[@explorer867]

@@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. They do make diesel heaters that have a hot water heater built into the unit. Please Like, Subscribe, Ring the bell and let others know about our channel on your social media.

the easiest way mount the pump on thick rubber pad or washer's could use like rubber matting they sell all over the country
