Unbelievable Cargo Trailer Conversion to a Tiny RV Camper

[@jraoul711]

This is one of the nicest trailer conversions that l have seen. Using the v section for the shower was genius. The all white interior makes it look larger than 100sf.

[@karinebuinier8351]

And the separated stools among other things 🇬🇧💜

[@MrsBee-uo2lc]

This is the first cargo trailer conversion that I have seen that actually looks like a home and not just a bunch of crap thrown inside, you guys did an amazing job and are very inspiring!!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful camper ❤️

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thank you for your kind comment! We are really enjoying our new space.

[@janebray9392]

Yes..the "garage section" is amazing!

[@MrThefatheroftheyear]

This couple built nearly every single thing by hand?!? And it looks positively incredible and not far off from absolutely amazing. I mean wow! Phenomenal work. Just Remarkable 👏🏽👌🏽👏🏽

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks so much for the great comment!!! Yes, we built it all by hand and it turned out exactly how we wanted. :) Thanks for watching our video.

[@jerrypowell2359]

A 7ft ceiling and a king-size bed? You are my heroes! I am 6'6" and north of 400lb, and until I saw this, I didn't think it was possible for me to try this. Now? Who knows? Thank you for sharing your beautiful build!

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks Jerry! We are loving the king size bed. It takes up space but we are very comfortable in it.

[@MJ-zo5gb]

“I didn’t think it would take this long” said every tiny house builder ever! 😂 it I’s very nice

[@fuxu247]

Lol I know right

[@susanhamilton1822]

I've always wondered about making a camper out of one of these trailers. What a wonderful job you did with it. I'm very impressed. You have such great taste.

[@Mountainmodernlife]

I love everything about this conversion, y'all could really go into business doing something like this! Your execution is beautiful and inspiring, and that footrest in the shower is genius!

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it. The footrest is one of my favorite things. ;)

[@Fifty1100times]

@@ChatfieldCourtDIY This is truly beautiful and serene! Y' should pattent the shower footrest and sell at RV shows!

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

@@Fifty1100times That's a thought. Thanks so much, Wanda!

[@tammieparrishmiller3669]

My husband is a carpenter and we've tossed this idea around. You've done a beautiful job with your build! It's inspiring for sure! We have plans to travel after retiring. We have just about 8 yrs. to go. He works way too much to have the time to do a build right now. We're still unsure but I think it might benefit us in the long run money wise, to do it ourselves as you have. Thanks for sharing this! I can't wait to show him when he gets home tonight!

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks so much, Tammie!

[@northwoodslife5964]

You guys are awesome! Love the trailer, the interior is seriously a class act compared to current RVs. We've been trailering a 30 foot toyhauler for years, but your interior is totally amazing.

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks so much, Eric. I'm so glad that you enjoyed touring our cargo trailer conversion. We are really enjoying using it.

[@agoogleuser4624]

The best cargo trailer conversion on youtube! Very inspiring, thanks for sharing.

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks so much!

[@John-of5sh]

The only improvement I can see would be having it setting in my garage, (with my name on the title!) In my humble opinion, this is a Perfect 10! The colors and textures compliment each other. Just incredible how you packed so much luxry into such a small space. And it doesn't "feel crowded". The counter top is so beautiful, the lights are perfect. Bathroom & Shower! Just incredible! The table top and shelves are pure genius. Beauty as well as function. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas and expertise with us!!!

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thank you for your kind words, John! It's great to hear from someone who appreciates the work that went into creating comfort in such a small space. Many thanks for taking the time to check out our cargo trailer conversion!

[@janebray9392]

Yes!!! Well stated...it shows the difference between getting what you really want, and settling for a prebuilt!

[@seekingjoynow1722]

Just brilliant...I love what you have done with a plain old cargo trailer. This is the nicest design I have seen so far.

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks so much!

[@jamesdindino3337]

I’ve looked at many of these (dozens if not more) cargo conversions, and yours is by far the most functional layout and nicest I have seen. Outstanding job by you and your husband, you should both be very proud!

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

That's so nice of you to say! Thanks James! Appreciate you checking out our cargo trailer conversion!

[@sheenasomerville]

This is beautiful! Every woman needs this bathroom set up in a Cargo/van a must! Love!

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks so much, Sheena! We love having a bathroom in our cargo trailer. As you said, it's a must. :)

[@thomasdunn9388]

Wow! What a beautiful build. I'll be checking out your first video. My wife and I want to downsize from our 36' motorhome and we are considering options ... you gave us another one to look at. Thank you very much for your eloquent and detailed descriptions!

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks Thomas! I appreciate it!

[@ashleighelizabeth5916]

This is really really well done. Factory built RVs don't look this well appointed and designed to say nothing of most of the homebuilt cargo trailers I've seen. It's really outstanding use of a tiny space.

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks so much, Ashleigh. We worked really hard to make good use of all the space, while still making it look good!

[@elizabethcarrington5819]

Such a beautiful little home. Decor is elegant and understated and I love what you did with the walnut countertop and the backsplash. ❤️

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks so much!

[@64maxpower]

I find it amusing all the comments of what people would do if they actually built a camper instead of making cheap comments on KZbin all day. You both did a great job

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

You are right! Thanks so much for watching, we really appreciate the kind words.

[@hayleeedwards3072]

My husbands gonna be PISSED when he learns he’s going to have to tear down the wall he just built in our V so we can do this. 😝 Your trailer is beautiful!! I am taking all the notes!

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Uh oh. ;)

[@cos5229]

And now we know who's the boss.

[@wayneperry7077]

Thank you for the tour ! Your build is very well thought out and built. I really love the way the white interior and walnut wood go together, quite elegant. This is by far one of the nicest homemade builds I've ever seen. Happy Camping !

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks so much, Wayne! We appreciate the kind comment, and thanks for checking out our build!

[@CraftsmanontheLake]

One of the best conversions of this type I've seen. Good job!

[@Sabrina-wn6ey]

I've decided that I want to hit the road with my two kids. I need something light weight that my SUV can pull. I've been thinking about converting a trailer to save money. This one has given me some good ideas. Thank you for sharing.

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks Victoria! If you decide to convert a trailer, just make sure your SUV can handle the weight before you get it. Good luck!

[@longdogt6724]

Victoria, be careful with the weight...I traded up to a Kiss Sorrento EX with a 3.6 liter engine with a tie capacity of 5000 pounds. I was advised by several knowledgeable people to tow as far under that as possible, and not to tow equal to that. (My previous SUV, a Subaru Forester, could only tow 1000!). This trailer you are looking at would be too much for my SUV. There are towing charts on the internet that you can enter your vehicle specs and find out it's towing capacity, but remember, that's a maximum.

[@kcfodor5038]

Hi Kristi and Roger, You two built a very well thought out and planned RV. I love how it has all your basic needs covered and it is stylish, comfortable, and full of storage. You should be very proud of your accomplishment and I wouldn't be surprised if you start a tiny RV revolution! I wish you many safe, enjoyable trips with memories you will carry forever!!! Kaycee

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks so much for your kind comment, Kaycee! We really appreciate it!

[@priceisright3004]

The best design I have ever seen! Thank you for a great floor plan.

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks!

[@bcb2585]

You guys did a fantastic job. It looks really professional!

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks so much!

[@anthonyrosa5006]

Thats nicely done! It's like a little summer beach bungalow on wheels.

[@philo5096]

The best cargo trailer conversion I've ever seen, just gorgeous. Don"t forget to take Navy showers. U save a ton of water that way!

[@Star-qp5qd]

Love to see home on wheels with a bathroom and shower. Nice little home on wheels

[@Marimilitarybrat]

This is the tiniest, roomy cottage type camper trailer build I have seen. Really lovely. The swing arm curtain for bathroom privacy sounds good. Also very creative.

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks!

[@KennyC72]

We are starting to get some plans together to do something similar with a trailer that we have already. You all did a great job and we got some really nice ideas out of it!

[@ceceliabarker4022]

Beautiful job. Best one I have seen. I would be very comfortable using this wonderful trailer.

[@JaceJacobs]

Looks great. I love the king size bed and walling off the bed from the back of the trailer. Makes for great storage under the bed. Namaste

[@bradstevens993]

I've been watching a ton of cargo trailer camper conversions, and this one is the nicest one so far.

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks so much!

[@RvTipsandTrips]

Nice job. What did you do about gray and black holding tanks?

[@LoveDogs___3]

Plus how many gallons of water do they carry

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

We haven’t installed tanks yet. A work in progress.

[@nomorebsforme]

You guys did an awesome job transforming this cargo trailer into a lovely spacious well thought out home. Enjoy your travels and thank you for a nice video...

[@tswrench]

Beautifully done build-out! One of the most homey builds I've seen with well-thought-out emphasis and craftsmanship in critical areas. What you've accomplished with this build has given me a bunch of ideas for mine (when I get around to it). Thank you!

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks so much for such an awesome comment! We really had a blast building our cargo trailer and can't wait to do it again. Good luck with your build!

[@manukeairvine]

Beautiful 🥰. Here I am planning to get rid of the same trailer to invest in a small camper. Life changing for sure!

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks! After this we would never buy an RV again. But that's just us. :)

[@melodywelsh2315]

You guys did a great job. It’s has what you need and looks relaxing. Enjoy.

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks so much, Melody!

[@brandoline94]

Beautiful design! I had 2 ideas while watching: 1) mounting a paper towel holder underneath the shelf would save counter space, and 2) you could put a strip of stainless steel along the white trim that breaks up the backslash and mount magnetic spice containers :)

[@laurah4130]

Beautiful! Best self built camper I've seen so far.

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks for checking out our cargo trailer conversion!

[@1peachcowboy1]

So in one word 'Elegant'. Just what you need, where you need it, when you need it. I love the AC choice! Enjoy your camper!

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks so much for watching

[@genitagray6126]

I don’t understand the thumbs down at all. Not only is it beautiful, you made smart choices, especially the shower & the toilet by itself, brilliant! I got some great ideas from you in case I decide to take the plunge, ha

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks so much, Genita! I guess not everybody has good taste like you and me. ;) I'm glad our project gave you some good ideas.

[@marka7519]

My new favorite. Great design and execution.

[@PattiTurner0425]

Absolutely beautiful. For myself, I would need to have at least a half curtain on the bathroom .

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thank you. We did put a curtain up once we finished.

[@susanhamilton1822]

Here I am a year later liking your trailer again. Still the nicest conversion ever. :)

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

So, so nice! Thanks so much, Susan!

[@rickyrox341]

I've looked at a lot of videos, and meticulously planned a Cargo build. Yours is by far the best I've seen for the size. You have good instincts and your execution is pretty and practical.

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks Ricky! We appreciate you checking out our cargo trailer conversion!

[@wendyeesue]

This is Beautiful. I am going to share it to another youtuber who is in the process of a cargo conversion..

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks and we appreciate the share!

[@jillipepper5353]

Love what you’ve done, very classy.

[@daves.5301]

Best quality build I have seen on you tube. Well done. The quality of the craftsmanship is what makes it appealing and comfortable.

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks so much, Dave! Appreciate the kind words and thank you for watching our cargo trailer conversion reveal.

[@lifemyway200]

Great conversion!! So functional but pretty:) Have to say, a curtain fir the bathroom for me would be a must and it could left open to not close off the area.

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

The follow-up video shares our solution for the bathroom.

[@felixcat9318]

Your evident pride and pleasure in sharing and describing your beautiful travel cabin is a joy to see! Your light, airy, contemporary design and high standards of workmanship really stand out. Your lovely, spacious shower with its superb wood floor and ingenious foot support and the neat, separate, storage rich toilet area with porcelain bowl are so well done. Likewise, your gorgeous kitchen countertop overlooked by the lovely window looks just right, as does the spacious, magic carpet of the bed. It's really lovely to see how you've fitted this out exactly how you want, where you want, and by placing the hygiene suite at the front you've maximised your use and feeling of open space. You have crafted a really beautiful travel cabin that is elegantly simple and simply elegant!

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks for watching and the kind words.

[@ImThaReeless]

Love this, very classy. I keep coming back to this video.

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks for coming back!

[@MickeyintheMiddle]

Best build I have seen in a conversion! Awesome...Thanks for all of the great ideas...Congratulations on a job well done! Cheers

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks so much for watching and the kind words.

[@angelvega7385]

I have to say this is a beautiful build. The functionality and attention to detail is amazing! I specifically like the aesthetic, it looks like you are standing in a luxury condo unit, you guys have a great eye for design.

[@llwscott5720]

You guys did an incredible job on this trailer! Amazing how much storage under bed and love the shower in the V. Agree with others on the swing arm curtain for toilet/shower. How much did it cost to do this conversion? Really, this is all one person needs to live comfortably.

[@jagwolf1314]

Very Inspirational.. Thank you for sharing your beautiful Transformation. We have one more child and he's going to serve our country. Then we will be empty nesters and we plan on seeing more of the world. Thank you again for sharing your beautiful home on wheels. Best of Luck on your new project.

[@MikeyUnderwood]

I just found both your blog site and youtube channel. So I promise I did not steal your plans or ideas on my trailer I have already started. But... that being said, we both have great taste I would say. My trailer is 6x10 but my layout is just like yours. I love the ceiling.. I am also doing this. Either way.. yalls Home away from Home is excellent. Thanks for the detailed blog and video.

[@MegaBpop]

WOW, I want to commend you on your BEAUTIFUL trailer. I want to that this is probably the best spacious trailer conversion, I have seen. We have a weekend home, but we have always said that if we had more ppl sleep over, that we would need an additional home. What a great home. I really like the bathroom and the KING SIZE Bed. You know, if you have muddy feet you could always switch out your kitchen faucet or add a retractable sprayer head from your kitchen sink to be pulled out of your window and then spray your muddy or sandy feet. Also, do you think an accordion door with a handle would work for a bathroom door ?? I love the color scheme.

[@OldSkoolieSimple]

Great trailer. I am glad you decided to share it. Lots of great ideas and very inspirational

[@rrhopewell]

That was a perfect design for that trailer. I really loved the bathroom.

[@kenatkins3781]

Wow I am really glad I watched this. You did a great job and it looks so nice a like a home. Plus things I had not thought of. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thanks so much, Ken! We appreciate you taking the time to watch.

[@HendersonDebbie]

I have a trael trailer for my company. I keep trying to convince my husband to do a conversion with me - but yours exceeds what I thought could be done and look so good! Classy and beautiful! Congrats! (I watched both videos you posted on this conversion.) Great job!

@CU29ZN30 My husband doesn't shave his legs either but he uses the footrest and loves it too. Very handy so you don't have to bend over.

[@loretta9478]

Great job for 100 sq.ft.! I love the simplicity of it, your color palate, design layout, awning, and creative foot rest in the shower. Speaking of the shower, that is much nicer then some Tiny Home showers, thumbs up. Wishing you safe travels, and happy days head on the road.🚐

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

[@LucysVanAndale]

Wow, very impressive. That bathroom is really nice and perfect size.

[@positivepenny5477]

If you guys built a couple of these, set them up at a nice camp site, I bet you could make a killing renting them out as little mini oasises. So nice!

[@portlandiapielady815]

My cargo trailer is much smaller (11 x 6), but it's only for 1 person, so I may be able to downsize what you did and I love the fact that you had windows put in professionally. Thank you for the inspiration. I have my new "project" for the next 18 months!

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks! We are waiting on a new trailer to build so we're looking forward to that. Goo luck with your build!

[@baligoldentrips]

what a great job...so clean room settled and the best video I saw..iloveit love it love it, this can be a good references to make a camp-tour in Bali

[@maiingan07]

You had to have been laughing and singing walking out with that beautiful walnut slab. Good for you! King bed? Your home on the road, you’re living in it, not us, so it’s perfect. A beautiful build; thanks for sharing.

[@kellyb5980]

Wow, this is an amazing job. Quality work and good materials unlike a lot of RVs. Enjoy!

[@auberjean6873]

This is such a beautiful, well thought-out build! It must have taken months to plan the spatial arrangements and make all of those quality decisions. I can see it was time well spent! Thank you for the wonderful tour. Wishing you and your husband health and many happy memories.

[@ChatfieldCourtDIY]

Thanks so much, I appreciate it! Yes, it took us months of planning before we even started the build. Not easy putting everything in such a tiny space. :)

Can I ask what insurance company do you guys have for the conversion? We are having trouble finding a company that covers the cargo trailer AFTER it’s converted!!! Thank you!

[@chasethecat3839]

Stephanie - did u find one? Do u insure these as a home or an RV or a vehicle? Your question has led to many other questions I gave for myself for a future build. Now is the time to ask so I know which way to go..skoolie/RV/cargo/van. TY. Wish she would have responded to u

[@FBPrepping]

Lovely rig. The layout seems quite appropriate. You are extremely skilled for building! the entire finishing is flawless. Congratulations! and thank for sharing it with us.

[@julieplant444]

You’ve done a beautiful conversion. Tons of storage, great bathroom, luxurious bedroom. What more could you want? Maybe just a nice tailored curtain in front of the toilet. Just for if company visits. Really love it 😊 Where is the dog bed? 🐕😻

[@McChrister]
