My parents love the little camper. They get a lot of compliments and interest where ever they go. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@MindfulGrinds]

@@gillis122 The amount of detail you put into it really sets it apart here on KZbin. Such great work! For some, loosing access to that back might be a no go, but that thing would make a fantastic field cool area, fish cleaning area, and on top of all of that, provide some rain shelter. It would be so easy to add a mosquito net around that as well for a nice outdoor area. Just great!

[@gillis122]

My parents use the back as a cooking area and an area to hang out and play music. I adjusted the door to have about a 3-5 degree slope downward to shed rain. It really works well. Thanks again for watching and commenting.

My parents had a 5th wheel trailer with everything you could get in it. They didn't like the upkeep and winterizing. (They are in their 80s) They wanted a simple easy to set up and pull to go to blue grass festivals. This is their 7th or so camper. They just wanted low maintenance and very simple. I am planning to add an outdoor sink that will hang on the side next to the kitchen. I will do a video of the sink when I get it done. Thanks for commenting and watching.

I used those same hinges on my 5 X 8 woody, this is a very nice build and 10k views is commendable. It makes me want to do a conversion I love it.

[@gillis122]

Thanks for watching. The cargo conversion was fun. I had a lot more space to design with. The part I disliked the most was the demolition of the original cargo trailer. The manufacturer used thousands of staples and nails my wife and I had to pull out to get down to the frame of the trailer. I think if I did another one I would build the trailer just like I did with the treadrop. It would have taken me more time but would have saved a good bit of money. Also, it would have been plumb and square! The trailer was almost 2 inches out of square.

Hey Bobby, First of all thank you for the compliment. Second, what are you talking about putting in? Reversing a ramp or just putting in a kitchen in the back of a trailer?

[@clintstinytrailerconversio5560]

Hat off to you, gillis. I am particular interested in how the a/c unit is setup - what's inside the wall. I love the kayak compartment things. The lift up ramp is also very well done. Thanks for sharing.

[@gillis122]

Thanks for watching and commenting. The AC setup is simple. The vents are used to pull hot air out of the trailer. Both must me open so to provide cross ventilation. When you buy the AC unit it has a condensation pan mounted to them. I drill a 3/8" hole and mount a brass fitting at the lowest point on the pan. I mount the AC unit so when the trailer is level the unit is tilted toward the drain (not very much maybe 1/4" or less). Then I used a vinyl drain tube that runs down and out the floor of the trailer. It works well. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to ask. Thanks again for watching.

Clean, quality build. The only thing I would hv done differently is used GFI outlets in the outside areas. Well done sir!

[@gillis122]

I put GFI's on my teardrop build. The reason I didn't use them on this build is because everytime you unplug the camper they trip. My wife has a hard time pushing them back in. So, I didnt think my 80 yo mother could push them in very easy. (arthritis in her hands). I know there is a possibility of electrical shock, but sometimes you just gotta live life on the edge. :) Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@crabby117]

That’s a good reason. It’s sometimes hard for young folks to understand the limitations age puts on us...aches, pains, failing eyesight, weakness, etc. Because young people haven’t been there. But we all still want to get out there and enjoy life. Just do be careful in damp weather or on dewy mornings. Happy travels.

I can't imagine how many hours you have in this. I just did a nice (for me) pine and cedar cabinet for the front of my simple conversion that must have taken me 40 hours to fabricate. I've decided I don't like building trapezoidal cabinets. Just getting past the analysis paralysis must have been a feat. You must have 50 hours into the design and hundreds into the build. Awesome job.

Thanks for the complement. I had built a teardrop camper for my wife and I before I built this one. I had been thinking about the build for some time. I had the basic design in my head.

Need those vents hooded. You need a message by that fan switch to let folks know to open those fans vents up before turning on.

I’ve ordered a 14’x7’x7’ height. Would these be better with more insulation added. I was thinking of 2” rather than 1”. I’d get the additional depth by adding furring strips to the metal framing. I’d love to get your wiring diagram for the build. Thanks

[@raymondgillis6739]

@@charlesfaulkner8653 Hey Charles, I live in Georgia and it gets HOT. My parents said the AC worked fine and they were very comfortable in almost 100 degree temps. I used 1" insulation through out because that was the thickness of the metal ribs on the trailer. As for the wiring diagram I bought a "wiring bus" at home depot for the 12 volt stuff. I used 12-2 wiring for the 110 volt stuff. I ran a separate breaker for the AC and I used a separate breaker for a dedicated outlet that my mother uses for a hair dryer and curling iron. The 30 amp WFCO converter allows for a main breaker and 2 double breakers which will give you 4 different circuits. I used all 12 volt lighting utilizing LEDs from ebay. They worked great and pull very little amperage. The other two breakers I used one for the kitchen area for a toaster oven and cooking appliances. The last circuit was for the outlets inside the trailer. (next to the bed and in the closets. The other issue I had was where to ground the converter. I talked with an electrician and he told me the ground goes to the trailer frame. Everything seems to work very well. Let me know if I can help with other questions.

Beautiful job most impressive I've seen love how you have storage under bed in front as well as back to utilize the space you have. I'm p purchasing a trailer soon to do something like this so you have any plans on paper on how and what materials you used? Please let me know and again beautiful job I know your parents are happy 😁

I dont have any plans. I used refinished plywood from a local cabinet supply company. Most of the parts I bought from the internet. The trailer I bought was way out of square. That gave me some problems with fitting cabinets and the other fixtures. Good luck and have fun building the camper. If you have any other questions please dont hesitate to ask.

It should read pre-finished plywood. Birch.
