You want a regulator at the tanks, if the pressure going to the internal appliance regulators is too high they will lock up. Having dual stage regulators won't over regulate it, the appliance regs just step the pressure down further to what it needs to operate. Also if you have a propane leak, you want it to be lower pressure leak rather than a high pressure leak.

You should turn the bed into a murphy bed so you can make the frame it sits on now into a couch/storage area. In the corner across from the door put in a counter top with the fridge under it and set up a rack on the deck side under the one you already have for an outdoor kitchen area with like a grill and sink that can be put away so you can water to the kitchen for cooking and washing hands and stuff. Also set up an outdoor shower off the the driver side of the deck with some type of rack to hang a curtain. You would still have plenty of room for cabinets around the top. Just some ideas I had while watching but you have a great design so far just a few tweaks would make this thing amazing

Idea for you we're the hood of your truck or your 4x4 when sitting on the deck you could probably do a build out from your sleep area that's connected to your sleep area over the top of that 4x4 when it's parked up on there Yes that will cut down a little bit of your deck but it'll give you more room for storage and other things or you can jack up the height of that trailer 12 in or more to accommodate for like a stone go type situation just some ideas I'm sure you've probably thought it out of all that stuff.

Really cool build and it looks like your attention to detail is very high. One thing I would suggest is changing your position on regulated vs non on running the propane in. I understand the desire to have each accessory run on it's own regulator. But in reality, they probably all operate at close to the same pressure anyway. Most propane accessories have an operating pressure of only about 1/3 PSI. While the tank itself, on a warm day, could exceed 150PSI of head pressure. As you set it up, it will work but if you put the regulator outside and run the accessories with their regulators removed, it will also work, as long as they have the right operating pressure given to them. But if you have a leak on a hose inside the cabin, at tank head pressure it will leak propane almost 500 times faster than at operating pressure.

@mikel95673 жыл бұрын
You're an idiot. Carbon Monoxide is created from combustion. Any combustion heater is going to create Carbon Monoxide, be it Diesel or Propane fired. The Mr Buddy he has is propane fired by the way. You can certainly use them inside. CO detector mounted low, window cracked for ventilation and you will be fine. They are designed for interior use and have O2 sensors in them. Moisture is created from the heat difference. Not from the heaters themselves. This is called condensation. Good insulation and proper ventilation will prevent condensation. The heater type has nothing to do with it. Educate yourself before you post.

How much did it cost for everything trailer included ....and is it (US or CAN) dollar
@RV_Chef_Life3 жыл бұрын
Looks great, my only suggestion is try to find things used. I’ve been traveling and full time rving for 4 years and RVs are like boats, parts cost twice as much. If you are lucky, you might find an rv salvage place that sells used items. For bug out situations, I highly recommend a composting toilet. For can build them for $15

You do have a point about tongue weight, but it's actually more dangerous to have the weight far back. You're better having the weight directly over the trailer axles or slightly in front of them.

Awesome build. I would recommend using some pvc sheets, you can cut them on a table saw and bend them with a heat gun to match the curvature of your windows to hide the insulation. After that you can install your windows, trim, and caulk.

I was going to do that in my safari van, up until I heard that PVC plastic let's off a poisonous gas. V.O.C's It's even worse in a black vehicle because it off gasses more when it gets hot.

Could he also use a second set of (good used) RV window frames, cut to fit the gaps in his current windows? It would give a factory type finish but not sure how fiddly that would be to cut and install. Probably totally not worth it financially either, if he has to buy them new. 🤷♂️ Just spit-balling.

Checkout lowprolockdown.com for locking your generator. Their locking plate can be welded or bolted down. Kshmarine.com makes a nice aluminum generator box. I’ve used both over the years.

The gene mount would benefit from a rubber spacer between the bolt head (or nut) next to the gene mount (i.e. both sides of the mount). That will isolate the vibration better, though with a Honda you should be OK as they run smoothly.

Beautiful job, but I'm wondering how much tongue weight you have with this arrangement? I imagine with the jeep onboard it balances out, but can you tow it safely without a vehicle on it?
@bryanhersman40373 жыл бұрын
Too much tongue weight is never a problem as long as it doesn't put you over payload or hitch limits. All factory built toyhaulers have a bunch of hitch weight bias otherwise they would go the bad way when loaded which is too little hitch weight.
@patricksmith39113 жыл бұрын
He said with the jeep loaded tongue weight was at 800lbs. Has a tongue weight gauge in the cab.
@paulintexas3 жыл бұрын
Wonder what it is without anything behind the trailer axles? That camper looks like it's about halfway to the hitch from the axles-- that's 50% of the weight of it + the empty tongue weight + around 120 pounds on the tongue if those propane tanks are full. I'm guessing 1300-1500 pounds..

He might want to research the RV Codes as bringing HP gas into the trailer probably violates the code. All trailers have some sore of in-line regulator outside and the appliance regulators inside handle that pressure.

The changeover regulator he has is correct. Not quite sure what he meant, but you can clearly see the regulator there. The house barb situation is another issue. Should have UL approved hose there. Norm is correct.

Whether he used it, I cannot see in the video. But the regulator drops the water column and the pressure. The appliances use their own regulator to fine tune the lp gas for it's specific needs. I'm a licensed lp installer and work at a lp storage terminal that stores 40 million gallons.
