Cargo Trailer Conversion Built for a Family of Five!!

[@Djkyle65]

You need a bonded ground / neutral for that surge protector to work when using the generator. You can make / buy a bonding plug to plug into your generator that will solve your problem.

[@BuildYourOwnAdventure]

Awesome! Thanks for the info and thanks for watching.

I like the common sense simplicity and that you did not get bogged down in designing the interior. It is very functional and I'm sure ya'll will enjoy many family weekends it.

Thank you so much! We have enjoyed it for several years now and we’re still upgrading as we go.

[@bernadenevanburen1521]

I would fix the back ramp for a patio like the have on the toy hauler.

[@BuildYourOwnAdventure]

I really like that idea. If I did that I would like to find a screen to fit the back opening to keep bugs out. Thanks for watching!

[@sittonpretty6146]

A garage door sized screen should work. I put one up a couple years ago for my grandma. You can tack them or put up velcro to secure it so you can take it down easier.

[@felisaboettcher4448]

What a great sense of humble humor! This video is refreshing to watch. I Like the size and layout. Children's sleep area smart design. Bathroom shower size is great, the area with murphy bed spacious. Red or white moulding hard call? Maybe Red? Then you could add red accessories like, throw pillows, throw rugs etc.. Thank You for sharing your home! Appreciated take on video. Calm and Natural!

There’s something to be said about building up something yourself that takes you places. Keeps you cool when it’s hot, dry when it’s wet and warm when it’s cold. GREAT JOB! I’m now a subscriber. I’ve built up a cargo truck conversion so I know first hand the effort you’ve put into your build.

Funny I see all these young people trying to do the KZbin thing and good for them but they seem nervous and akward. This dude seemed super comfortable, super natural, and made a good tour video. The kids could learn from this guy. Just be yourself. KZbin doesn't need another manufacturer blueprint personality. Be yourself. Yourself is about as unique as it gets. The term snowflake gets used as a derogatory term these days but like humans every flake is unique. Not a bad thing to be. Good build bud. Have fun out there.

[@Doc1855]

You did a great job ! We’d have to have a smaller trailer because our pickup is a 23 Tacoma TRD Off Road, double cab with a 6’ bed. The maximum towing capacity is 6,500 #. I don’t want to over work our (my) truck. I plan on driving it until I die. I’m quite sure that my wife will still be using my truck to plow the 5-7 ft of snow off our private road until she dies.

[@BuildYourOwnAdventure]

Thank you so much! You should be able to find a cargo trailer to fit your needs. While the towing capacity is important, be sure to pay close attention to the payload on your Tacoma and try to stay well within that rating. Tacomas are great trucks and it should last you a long time! Thanks for watching!

[@jjones503]

For your outdoor lights, get tinting film and either cover them, or make them slightly over sized so you can pop them in and take them out.

That OSB board under your trailer floor is used for roof decking, and contains a lot of adhesives which make it very moisture resistant.

[@dsepulveda6593]

Power watchdog makes a plug for your generator that fixes the issue. Generators usually have a floating neutral so they can hook up to a home. This plug simply creates a connection between your neutral and your ground making it a bonded neutral. The dog won’t turn red anymore

[@BuildYourOwnAdventure]

Hey thanks for the info!! I found out about the ground/neutral plug and have had great luck with it so far. The dog is now happy. Lol. Thanks for watching!!

[@larrychappell207]

Leave the trim red. Painting them white would actually take away from the look and that much white would bother you after awhile. 8f those are wire chases, everytime you had to get into them, if they were white, would show and you would have to paint them again because white shows dirt or finger smudges. A simple curtain could hide the ramp door. You might consider a lift bed system in place of the Murphy bed That way you could have it at a more comfortable height and you could store it at the ceiling. I think putting something on the wheel well is a great idea. Since you want a fireplace, put an electric fireplace on top of the wheel well and build a mantel around it. I thought where you put the condenser unit was a brilliant idea. Good job.

[@BuildYourOwnAdventure]

Thanks for the comment!! Those are all great ideas and I think we’ve finally decided to leave the trim red. It just adds character to the inside!

[@charlesstevenson5141]

No, just needs something to help repel water. One time going down the road in any kind of rain and its over with for that OSB. I bought a brand new mobile home 2 years ago. First year in the pex pipe sprung a leak and sprayed the subfloor and had to replace it.

To preserve the underside wood floor just paint it with used auto oil like paint. It will waterproof the wood enough to make it water resistant but still be able to wick excess moisture away.

I recommend that you tie the great tank in with the black tank so you flush the black tank first and then the soapy water from the gray tank will flush the black tank out once you watch the Black tank first

[@BuildYourOwnAdventure]

Thanks for the comment! The grey and black tanks are tied in at the dump valve. We use that exact method to dump and clean our hoses. Thanks for watching!

[@Lapeerphoto]

Nice build! More 'on-grid' than I am doing my 20' toy hauler, but it looks like it fits your needs well. I would totally leave the corner panels RED. All that white (walls/ceiling) needs an accent color to break it up. I'd paint the stools red and a couple other things for an accent color. But my fav color is red, so I'm already bias!! LOL

[@BuildYourOwnAdventure]

My next step will be upgrading components for off grid. We mostly camp in campgrounds, so it’s not really needed, but I would really like to have the freedom if we wanted to boondock more in the future. I agree that the red accent helps break things up! Thanks for watching!

I would get rid of the basket on the end of the kitchen counters and make a flip up counter there. So you give up counter space for undercounter space. Oh that makes alot of sense. And I would much rather have an RV stove than having a huge oven taking up counter space.

[@seekingserenity2731]

I suspected you'd need to make a change on the fresh water tanks. If and when you use them for a boondocking expedition, you'll notice a big change. For what we do, i have the vents open all the time because I don't haul water in the rig. I'll set up boondocking in Quartzsite then get water in my spare tanks so I never have to move. I can sit for months on end, theoretically of course. Great build, it looks great, and you seem to have enjoyed to process much more than I did. Good luck and happy travels.

[@BuildYourOwnAdventure]

You were right! I thought the vents were causing issues while I was filling my tanks but I believe it’s caused by the fill line going directly into the first tank. I’ve still got a few changes to make but overall they get the job done. I’ve had a blast with our build and I’m ready to start another. Thanks for watching and happy travels to you as well.

I’m doing a bus conversion; 7.5’x29’. How much solar do y’all use when you boondock - or do you know? Do you have a gas generator? I have 1 kiddo who I homeschool, and they want tv/vcr/dvd and a small portable evaporative cooler. I’m trying to decide if I can fit a 45-60 watt fridge with it. Any suggestions? I love the open shelving with baskets! My kid and I are designing that for ours, especially the kitchen. Do y’all keep your canned goods in them? How well does that work? Thanks for the tour! Very helpful and insightful for ideas! :)

[@BuildYourOwnAdventure]

Thanks for the comment. Sounds like you have an awesome project ahead of you! We don't have solar on our trailer yet. I hope to add that down the road, we just haven't gotten there yet. We do run a gas generator when we boondock. We run a Champion 4650 Inverter generator. It's probably overkill for our trailer, but it will run everything and then some. Depending on the wattage your cooler pulls, you could possibly get away with a smaller inverter generator, like a 2000 watt. You will need to look at the tags on any electric items that you would like to run and see what wattage it's rated for. Then add all of those numbers up to get your total wattage. This will give you an idea of what size generator to purchase. Solar is a different animal and I'm not versed enough in it to help you there. Check out Will Prowse on KZbin and he will teach you all you need to know. We do keep canned goods in our kitchen baskets, and it works well. Thank you for watching and the kind words! Good luck on your build! Enjoy every minute of it!

Your amazon links are not working correctly, at least for me. i clicked 3 different links and they sent me to the same item, the dicor sealant.

[@BuildYourOwnAdventure]

Thanks for letting me know! I went through and tried to correct any that were wrong. Try it again and let me know if you find others that are incorrect.

Leave the corners red! Looks just like my 25’er. Thanks for info.

[@BuildYourOwnAdventure]

Thanks for watching! I’m still holding strong. The corners are still red.

I had a cheep phone charger Cord while unused burn up in my van .. thank god the van didn't go up.. but I dont trust any chargers .. so when kids have a outlet in they bed .. makes me nervous to imagine a cord setting the bed on fire .. I suggest removing all power sources from around the bed.

[@BuildYourOwnAdventure]

Wow. Thanks for the advice. I've never heard of that happening.

[@vivienhill7934]

leave the red ..but change the curtains to the same colour--and add cushions with nature patterns ..white background and pictures in red-

[@BuildYourOwnAdventure]

Awesome idea! Thanks for the comment!

[@theinnocent714]

Hope u left the panels red, i like it

[@BuildYourOwnAdventure]

Oh yeah! Still red!

[@drksuaa]

Love the build. What does this thing weigh?

[@BuildYourOwnAdventure]

Thank you! Around 10,300 pounds after the build.

JUST AN IDEA CAN YOU USE A DRILL ON IT ? MAYBE MODIFY SOME TOOL TO FIT IT. MAKE IT A LOT EASIER/CHEAPER FOR YOU. YOUR FAMILY AND CONVERSION MAKES ME WANT TO DO THIS IF ONLY I WERE 40 YEARS YOUNGER! LOL

[@BuildYourOwnAdventure]

Thanks for the comment! We eventually upgraded to electric! It was a lot of work, but well worth it! Thanks for watching!

[@therealtravo7596]

Success 🎉

[@BuildYourOwnAdventure]

Yes!!

I have the same exterior lights on my 8x16. I put red taillight repair tape on mine. Seems to dim them just about right and really cheap hack. I use my rear ramp as a patio weather permitting. ROSKO

[@BuildYourOwnAdventure]

That’s a great idea. I’ll have to try that out. Thanks for the comment and for watching the video.

Red looks good!

[@BuildYourOwnAdventure]

Thanks! So far so good. No painting has been mentioned!

[@BillHartCooks.]

So who won on the red trim? Just curious...

[@BuildYourOwnAdventure]

Still red!

[@huntersmith8586]

Love the build. I'm sorry to say i missed it if you said. How much did it all cost?

[@BuildYourOwnAdventure]

Thanks! To be honest, we didn't keep up with it close enough to know a total. We started over two years ago and we're still adding to it. I have a round a bout number, but I'm not big on sharing our financial info. It was less than purchasing a low end travel trailer and it's been so much more reliable. Thanks for watching!

[@huntersmith8586]

@@BuildYourOwnAdventure that's all I needed to know! It's less than buying. I'm happy.
