How much is amazon paying you ?

[@CamperSizeLiving]

Not enough lol 😂🤣 This video is not sponsored by any company but we may get a small percentage of purchase made through the Amazon links provided. If you find value in this content, We certainly do appreciate you supporting the channel by purchasing through the Amazon links provided. Kevin is so detailed in his tour and explanation that he and I wanted to be sure it is easy to find the parts and pieces weather they are purchased on amazon or through some other company. While creating this video, I tried searching his parts and had terrible results. A huge thank you to Kevin, who was kind enough to take time out from running his company to provide us all with a detailed list of his actual purchases. 👍😃👍

I love the red appliances. I have cut 4inch memory foam for the hide a bed in our spare room. Bought an electric knife at a thrift shop. Just draw a line in magic marker and cut. Let the knife do the work and don't try to speed it up and it will work great.

[@donwat91]

Man , he did a great job on the trailer build. It built it tough and not have to worry about rust at all. As they say it's built FORD TOUGH!. LOL

[@CamperSizeLiving]

Well said! Lol

[@bigorange000]

My head is still spinning. Not knocking your presentation, but man that was a lot to absorb.

[@CamperSizeLiving]

Yes it is. Part 2 is still coming soon. Electrical and appliances. 👍

Pass it along to Kevin to check out Foresty Forest's channel. He has a friend that just designed a totally silent diesel heater fuel pump. Foresty has the info on how to get one.

[@KD-cm8im]

Part 2??? We are all ready for it! Does he provide a cost analysis?

[@CamperSizeLiving]

He does give the cost. Hope to have part 2 out in the next week. We have vlig coming out tomorrow and then part will be on the way 👍

this is fantastic ! WOW ! Thanks for doing this Vid and doing a great interview , Hey why not a part 2 later and also a tour of the C.T. builders shop :) thanks for the companies and parts names . You get a A+ on ths one. God Bless

[@CamperSizeLiving]

Thank you so much HL Dye! A tour of the shop would be amazing unfortunately it was in Indiana and we were in Arizona. Part 2 is coming. We're editing it now. Also all the parts for part two will be uploaded as well. Thanks to Kevin for being generous enough to put together 13 pages of parts and a few notes with them. We'll try to also upload the word docs to www.CamperSizeLiving.com as well. 👍

InTech is amazing. I love these all aluminum trailers. Another great company that does all aluminum is ATC.

Awesome video and wonderful build! I'd like to know more about the AC because that's what our toy-hauler conversion is missing here in FL

[@CamperSizeLiving]

Absolutely Jessica and Jason! Part #2 should be released in the next 2 weeks. Kevin covers all the electrical, solar, water and appliances in detail. Make sure you hit the bell so you're notified when it is released. 👍

[@sharkbait8574]

I cannot wait 🤩 I believe your video will help solve our cooking issues

[@Tgyrl32]

The owner kept trying to say what tubing he used for the diesel heater and the videographer kept interrupting asking other questions. Did anyone catch what type of tubing to get from auto store vs rubber tubing the diesel heater comes with? That set up would be perfect for my build. Thanks

[@H2OTOYS-90]

Hey Tgyrl32 - I used a braided fuel line that you can get from most any auto parts store. I believe it is 1/4".

[@Tgyrl32]

@@H2OTOYS-90 thank you so much for your reply! Much appreciated 🙂

[@gracegotmehere]

I live on disability and can’t afford that awesome trailer. But I have a 2005 7x16 cargo trailer I converted. I’ve been living in it FT since November 2020. My side door on my trailer is 36 inches, and with it being 7 feet wide I have an adjustable twin XL bed which I use as a couch during the daytime.

[@CamperSizeLiving]

That is awesome Elizabeth! One of our favorite things about nomad living is that it can be done on any budget. 👍

[@michaelkaine345]

Are those Dexter axles at zero degree or five down?

[@Chefsantatravels]

You know I really don't wanna pull a trailer but the more I save these more I'm thinking about maybe doing something like that anyway I hope all is well stay safe stay strong stay healthy God bless and enjoy life .✌💖💪👨‍🍳🎅🚌👍

[@CamperSizeLiving]

They are very cool and can be done to suit any budget. Kevin's is very technical and Mark's felt very comfortable and homey. Hope all is well with you also Chef Santa Vooking Travels! Have a great week 👍

Do you know where Kevin found the wall mount he used for the 2 USB plugs?

[@H2OTOYS-90]

Jeffrey - click the link in the description of this video, then "RV Product Links" at top, then any of the "RV" items in second row and that is where you'll find "Cargo Trailer Build #1".

[@davidwardlow721]

Great tour. Thanks for sharing. You can tell he takes great pride in finding th we best option for his needs. Great use of a dock ladder. I can see the ramp door with fold out legs to make a nice porch or even as a clean off or work area on bikes etc out of the dirt. Looked at the itechtrailer site could not find pricing. My rough guess would be in the $7k range? Any thoughts ?

[@scottvaughn7824]

Probably more like 12 to 15k.

[@davej7434]

I like the width size, was their a reason you didn't go with the rest of the people and go 8'5" wide? I have a particular reason I want/need to stay under 8' wide. Nice build.

[@kubbie95]

James - I love this Intech trailer. Does Kevin have a KZbin channel? Id like to pick his brain some on his configuration that he ordered from RPM.

[@H2OTOYS-90]

Hello Robert. Contact RPM Trailer Sales and start with this model #WBTA7.5x14+2TA2. Perhaps Brad there can share the actual drawing with you from my build. The "14" is the main box length then 2 more feet for the V-nose.

[@lisamyers8407]

Gosh. You guys already left New Hampshire? No travel video? 😔😔😔

[@CamperSizeLiving]

No ma'am. We haven't left New Hampshire. 👍😃👍 We shot this video last winter at Quartzsite but could never get it edited because of the camper issues this past spring so we put it out now. More vlogs are coming. 👍😉👍

The guy doing the build is amazing and articulate and polite. You aren't any of those things. Don't rudely interject yourself into the video so often he has to stop talking, politely, while you grunt idiocy to sound like you have a clue.

[@lorichaulk5583]

@@CamperSizeLiving Excellent! I'm 60 years old. When I was a kid, I thought I'd try out at Fresno State since it is an agricultural school. I live in El Centro, California--not too far from Quartzite, Arizona. ANYWAYS, THOSE BOYS WERE TOO BIG FOR ME! After that, I lost 100 pounds and decided to join the Navy. THAT FELL THROUGH TOO! Eventually, we least out our ground, worked for 30 years in corrections, and am now getting ready to sell everything and get out on the road. I like your channel. Have a good day. Roy, So Cal.

[@CamperSizeLiving]

Roy, there were some pretty good size fellas in college but I was one of them so it worked out. Lol. I was in the Air Force before college and worked two years in a max security prison among other things. I'd say after 30 years behind bars and adventure on the open road is just what the doctor ordered. 👍😉👍. Thank you for coming along with us. Safe travels and I hope you have a fantastic experience! 👍😊👍💯

Have a look on KZbin Chinese diesel heater they don’t fasten fuel pump they let it hang midair lessens the knocking noise of pump I brought my on on EBay Australia $160.00

[@IndianaGraphics]

Hello fellow hoosier.

[@bobmirror7164]

Aluminum wheels - big mistake! Torsion axial - big mistake! Like the ceiling height. The wall plywood acts as a lateral structural component to stop the wall from going out of square. Of course the side walls may have been built strong enough for vertical plywood wall seams. One horizontal sheets are better for lateral structural integrity because it would span all of the vertical trusses. Vertical sheet are ok but you loose a bit of lateral wall load strength. An example is to slam a wood pallet down on its corners one at a time. The nails will loosen and it will be come easy to take apart. A wooden pallet with a continues sheet of plywood on top and bottom will be much stronger. Dump the cigarette 12-volt crap and get a smaller 12-volt connector. Those cigarette plugs should be outlawed along with cigarettes. Good curtain and bed setup. I use foam padding on a cot for my bed at home. It is very comfortable when you find the right combination of various foam. Any fuel line inside must be in a sealed cavity, and a cavity drain to the outside. There are many ways to do that. Remember the Ford Pinto, and the pickup trucks of the 1960's with the fuel tank in the cab and I think the Gremlin. None of those designs are considered road worth today.
