Cargo Trailer to Camper Conversion - Full Build

I finally finished the build of my cargo camper! Then I finally put this video together :)
This is the full build from start to finish showing all the major step and the finished product.
Check out my other videos for detailed breakdowns of each step. Let me know what you think in the comments. Thanks for watching!

[@befreebuilds]

Since I've gotten so many questions about the cost, I put together a short video breaking down how much it cost kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWjPmJWJf8R0r6M

[@kevinhorgan2770]

Well done mate. Made with pride and attention to detail. Good job and enjoy your labour.

[@bettykline348]

I guarantee it is built much better than any trailer you could buy today.

[@circleup7415]

How much is it a hassle to take to rv resorts? Some of them won’t allow homemade builds like this. Is it ever a problem for you guys?

[@ladyinafjsuzyq7417]

This is absolutely the best conversion trailer camper that I have ever seen..awesome job.

[@rigobertomiranda6320]

It's probably one of the best step by step video on how to complete this build. Nicely done!

[@adventureswithadrienne]

10.12.2023 You have no idea how therapeutic it was watching this whole vide. Thank you so much.

[@bradley7192]

One of the best builds I have seen, and the wannabes still want to tell you shoulda, coulda, woulda, but haven't.

[@reyesbiz101]

I concur

[@murphyzlaw13]

For real man, I'm so tired of people being so damn hateful. This man just made a really nice camper.

[@Jordan-jx6zc]

Great job bro. Looks amazing.

[@murrayreid2644]

Great build, well thought through. Thank you.

[@cn9630]

Of all the HUNDREDS of builds I've seen, THIS WAS THE MOST HELPFUL😀❣️

[@rakereldridge6210]

Agreed!

[@chirogirl67550]

My husband is a retired BA for 22,000 union carpenters and he said you did an excellent job on this build-out. It’s amazing! Peace and Blessings

[@rakereldridge6210]

I am a seamstress and know how difficult matching angles and patterns can be. You did a great job making diamonds at the end of your cushions! The whole build looks great!

[@HOPE.TheresNoPlaceLikeHomeClub]

Love how you made a dry bath 🚿

[@Mark-fo6to]

If we cross paths you'll know why my walls are vinyl. Great build.......Top Notch

[@Firepwr00]

The vinyl flooring attached to the wall with the white molding is outstanding..!! Great job with the whole built, looks very comfy..👍🏽

[@marcussmith4913]

all jokes aside this is actually one of the more impressive builds out there. I admire your work sir.

[@natureatitsbest751]

Amazing build! Saving this for future reference if I decide to venture into this lifestyle. Thanks a bunch. 🇨🇦😉

[@Gooch1989]

I love how well you explain the process without being long winded. And the build is amazing. Gave me lots of ideas

[@lauratibbles6598]

You have given me some great ideas for a cargo conversion build that I would like to do I’m retired and want to travel the country and so therefore I’m looking for ideas that will last long as I will be living in this most of the time… thank you in advance for any input that you can offer

[@ThatGuy-dj3qr]

I am so impressed, not just with your build, but also the video. You did an excellent job of filming and describing your work. There area ton of sub-par videos on this subject. Yours rises well above most I have seen.

[@befreebuilds]

Thank you so much!

[@josephgeorgeejr7039]

The ceiling is perfect with the gap between shiplap an insulation makes a thermal barrier

[@lickalittle]

Nice job, now sell it and build what you really want 😊 Mistakes were made big one's but I think you are ready 😉

[@Docholliday1106]

The rear doors can open up to some cool opportunities. Add an awning and a screen, and you can potentially have a great view during meals or enjoying a frosty beverage.

[@befreebuilds]

Yeah I love how it opens up the space so much

[@tammyhardin4621]

Thank you..thank you...thank you!! It's hard to find someone who shows all the how to dos! I needed this!

[@shawncasey3691]

Looks great! Thanks for sharing and inspiring people like me!

[@lauratibbles6598]

I love it and it looks great thank you for sharing 😊

[@roadtriplover.]

Fantastic job on this build. You seem to have considered everything. Enjoy!

[@ColeChapman205]

Thanks for this series. I’m literally copying your build ideas. Minus the shower and bed as I need that space for my ATV. I love the shiplap roof and the glue on fake wood walls. Where your sink is I’m gonna put a cubic mini grizzly. And then have a stove and sink. I’m probably gonna get the bottom of the trailer spray foamed. If you guys want I can post my progress so far

[@sandras.3560]

I like it a lot. What else would one need. Maybe a door for the bathroom and a diesel heater. But thats totally up to you. I would be very happy to have one like yours, and a car to pull it 😅. Happy traveling!

[@Jonboy4371]

This is the best one I have seen yet

[@mark_osborne]

Fabtastic ! esp love the vinyl floor wall covering- brilliant

[@DanielDaniel-eu9yq]

Hello. Very neet work. The vinyle flooring to the walls is genius.

[@stevesmith-ny8jb]

I am soooo glad I bumped into your channel. This is the second video of yours that Ive watched and I must say that you create with the intent to teach, and I thank you for that. Other people just talk and talk and talk and their video is 25 mics long. You speed up your videos also to abbreviate the length. As a newbie, the only input I can offer is maybe slow your speech a little and offer the make and model of the items youre installing. Other than that, I cannot thank you enough for your time and effort to help others. God Bless you sir! 👍

[@Giitzerland]

For people doing vinyl on walls, or floor, it's best to use a 1/16" V-notch trowel(1/8" for floors if level, 3/16"-1/4" if uneven surface)to spread the mastic(glue), it will give you a much more uniform, and reliable surface to stick your vinyl to. I'd also suggest using a multi-purpose mastic, to get with moisture, mold, and water proofing.

[@AfterAnotherAdventure]

Man you nailed it ! Awesome build very professional.

[@mr.makeit4037]

I commend you on the bathroom. So many builds leave them out

[@AL-vw7kx]

Awesome trailer home! I would like a window maybe those elongated ones each doors in the back .. otherwise it's perfect!

[@leannadelone5696]

Thank you for sharing this build!! My husband and I are making plans to live off-grid and nomadic. All things being built for success, he is required to have his own man cave...uh, trailer. My image is that his private space will be pulled behind our stealth wagon. All the things you have put in your trailer are what we are looking to have for him... except a soaking tub instead of a shower. Thank you for sharing!!

[@princessbearpoker9549]

Oh you did GOOD! 🤗

[@sandycollins3613]

I really enjoyed watching your video. I love that you don't talk unnecessary BS! Beautiful job👏

[@maryscheidler8327]

AWES😄ME, PRESENTATION❗ Beautiful job. I really liked it ALL. To the point, short & sweet. 😁👌👍

[@reuben6664]

Nice. Thank you

[@josephgeorgeejr7039]

Although the grey and black tank straps are likely galvanized, id still probably paint them for looks and more structural integrity from oxidization, but i freaking absolutely love the vinyl walls, ill definitely be doing that on my conversion, probably same color to, but possibly brown wood look over grey ,but grey for floors

[@bryanhumphrey4072]

Outstanding!! This is one of the best build videos I have seen.

[@MikeyForLife]

Your voice sounds like Gale from breaking bad. Nice video.

[@MyBackyardScience]

Fantastic build and great video! 👍 😀

[@dhmtbr2551]

Looks good dude.

[@CatHound]

Very nice

[@bradford4570]

That's a beauty, this is definitely something I would love to do once my finances allow me to, I'm really impressed that you were able to add the bathroom, I always thought there wouldn't be enough space but you proved me wrong

[@jamesalfiero7289]

yo this is the best conversion i ever seen exactly how i would like it if i had one.Great job be proud of yourself.

[@Paintbl99]

Wow nicely done sir

[@newlion7013]

Nice build brother!

[@befreebuilds]

Thanks!

[@Winnipeg_Jets_Fan]

Damn what a great job. Be proud of your accomplishment!

[@minablas116]

Great job.💞

[@NKBobcat]

The separate toilet in the batheroom is a winner! This was fun to watch and turned out great! Depending upon houw long it took you, you can make some money turning out this model and a 16' model as well!

[@jamesmoyes3006]

Very nice my friend. Very nice.

[@mauriceaustin3442]

Great build. I just picked up the same trailer but all aluminum with a drop down rear door. Thank you for taking the time to create this video

[@mescko]

The drop down door would make a dandy floor for a screen porch. I'd still have a side awning, but you could also camp in Minnesota with impunity. 😁😁

[@kmb9144]

Beautiful Home

[@pop4725]

Genius ! Great build

[@NHJDT]

Looks great

[@KittyKAT666Meow]

Oh man i learned so much from this channel than i did watching other KZbinrs. Definitely sticking to this channel to learn how to build stuff

[@hillbillyhangover]

VERY well done!!!!!

[@pamplayer4086]

Awesome! Great job 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@valeriemoran842]

Very nicely done!

[@patrickmckowen2999]

Very nice👍

[@theresad6990]

Great video! I was nice to be able to see all the steps you took throughout the project as opposed to just seeing a few photos and then an end product. Nice job.

[@Splintermill]

Great job dude. I’ve had the itch to do this for some time now. I own a custom cabinetry shop, so I’ve got the gear to really kick it up a few notches, but I think that’s what holds me back is my projects tend to grow in both scale and cost! You did a great job checking off all the boxes without going nuts! Hope you have a blast with it!

[@befreebuilds]

I'll bet yours would look so much better with your cabinetry expertise. That was probably the part of this project that turned out the 'roughest'.

[@dustinpaul8968]

Great looking build.

[@raystone8110]

Great build. I like the way you illustrated all the major builds steps in this relatively short video!

[@lisasweller6711]

Is there a bathroom door? I didn't see a slider or pocket door, great build, very nice. Perfectly done by you. Don't worry about what others say on the negative side either. Unless it's a fire safety or something like that. Take it with a grain of salt. It's a great little place. Hey if your in the dog house with the wife you have a roof over your head lol. You just need a TV. Lol

[@kenwestlake7461]

Great job

[@tanzanite8908]

Nicely done some great ideas!

[@LookUpTheKalergiPlanWhitePeeps]

I love the way your trailer turned out, great job! If you wind up having any leaks down the road on windows or roof, try butyl tape and dicor. What you did with the walls is genius!

[@theresad6990]

I was thinking the same thing about the butyl tape and dicor for the attchement of the roof vent and windows.

[@jahempress26]

You made me feel like I can do this ,you even have the voice for it,my ex husband was handy like this i miss that ,but he was the worst husband, husband now is the best in everything but tools 🤣 I just can't get it right 🙃anyway I would so buy this

[@leem200]

What a beautiful camper. You did a fabulous job on it. Love the bathroom. Peace!

[@eugeneenslow8563]

Thanks for sharing this build. The layout is very practical. Saving it for reference when I get a cargo trailer to convert. Ten 👍

[@debjustdeb4301]

OUTSTANDING BUILD & VIDEO. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@richardfoster8692]

You did a great job ....

[@ronnieolinde9725]

You did a really good looking job every thing seemed to be well planned out my wife and I did the same thing converting a cargo trailer into a camper it's a tandem axle. Also in my opinion they are stronger built than your average camper we really injoy it im not sure where you live but if you have never been there give fountain blue a try in Mandeville you want be disappointed

[@bevoberholzer17225]

LOVE IT ! ! I WANT ONE ! !

[@NikosArgentinos-jx6jb]

Nice job you are doing keep going

[@livingworkingoutsidebox]

Great job. It came out looking solid and well designed. 🤙👍💪

[@TheAmericanWanderer]

very nice... Im building an 8 x 16 v-nose cargo trailer into an RV and Mobile Sign Shop. I have designed the entire conversion on the computer at full scale. I'm just starting on the walls and cabinets. I used to travel in a 15-passenger cargo bus, but I purchased a large format color printer for decals/stickers, t-shirts, koozies, banners, magnetics, etc. I would have lost a lot of storage in the shuttle bus, so I had to get something a little bigger. I have the shuttle bus conversion and my cargo trailer series on my YT channel.

[@joetayson397]

Sick build.
