Cargo Trailer Conversion Build Episode #5 - Framing, Flooring, & Dinette Tops

Good to see you back again!

I think you guys are doing a great job for first timers ! There are two things that I noticed watching your build out in your videos and number one is any water tanks should be mounted over the axles or about 1/2 over the axles and the other half forward of the axles, this helps prevent swerving/swaying back-and-forth when you’re on the freeway. Number two.. I noticed that you mentioned using three-quarter plywood for the bottom of the upper cabinets because there would be a lot of weight in them. Try to keep all your weight as low as you can for a better center of gravity things like canned goods and water should be in cabinets on the floor , this will help tremendously when a big semi passes you or you get into a crosswind you don’t want your trailer being top-heavy and blowing over. I know a lot of times form has to follow function to be safe and stable. God bless you guys and keep up the good work. We love to watch it.

Nothing says "I know what I'm doing" quite like putting down your brand new flooring and then painting your cabinets! I have watched all 5 of these videos; it was like watching a train wreck, you just couldn't stop watching,,,,. I am impressed with how you started out with nothing more than an idea and turned it in to a finished project! Yes, there were plenty of "inexperienced" moments and accidents, but kudos to you, you got it done!

Y'all are complete dorks, and I love it. Happy belated anniversary! We've got the same exact trailer that we're about to build out and this is the most detailed conversion set of videos I've seen. Looking forward to the next vid!

So great to see you two back! With all of life's chaos, I love how you've decided to stop, minimalize, and make things as joyful as possible. Congratulations!

My husband and myself will be building our 7x16 soon so y’all videos will be helpful. Can’t wait for the wiring parts cause that will be our biggest thing. New subscriber can’t for more hope all is well

Hello! Great build so far. I’m getting a bunch of new ideas and information from your build for our future build starting this summer. Are you going to be putting out any information on the finished shower and the toilet? Also what did you do for gray water? Did you install any type of heating system? How does the truck pull the trailer as far as weight distribution on trailer and full water? I have a number of questions but I don’t want to tie up your comment section. I’m sure you will get around to a lot of my questions in upcoming videos. Wishing the best to both of you and thank you for the helpful videos!

[@patrickhallacy7370]

That's a lot of wood! Is the plywood necessary under the panels you painted anyway?
