Converting A Cargo Trailer Into A Tiny Mobile Home

[@keithhoward4069]

Looks 👍 great. I think I would add an ac unit and a small generator to run it. Great job.

[@BrentsTreehouse]

one of the better cargo trailer conversions I've seen. Great job.

Very simple build happy travels. Looks like everything you need 😊 subscribed to you're channel so we'll see where you go. The most important part is wherever you go leave only foot prints. I like to always leave a campground or wherever nicer then how I found it. Whether that means picking up someone's trash or anything I can do to make it nice for the next person. If everyone did that wouldn't the world be a nicer place. Have fun you deserve it for all the hard work !!!

[@TheNomadStudio]

Well said, thats very true!

[@hugavet3049]

NEVER PULL A BOX TRAILER WITHOUT A SWAY BAR.... i just rolled my truck and trailer due to a high wind gust compounded by black ice. Almost lost my wife and kids. I've been towing my tool box around for years. I know not to panic brake but it doesn't take much before its just beyond control. Never thought i needed a sway bar for a little 7x14 TA. I didn't have one. I'll never do that again. This advise may just save your life. PS. Nice trailer. I'd like to show you my new one when i get her done. Everyone was jealous of my old one.

[@TheNomadStudio]

You are right, Bob! We did a lot of research about safe towing. So, we had a Pro Series sway control bar installed before our 1st trip (Alaska). We are glad we did this, it saved us in many circumstances. We will be glad to hear about your build!

[@sandradrumm5803]

Thank God your all ok

[@jayleija6406]

Sway bar for the trailer?

[@RideWithJosh696]

You don't need one if you have a decent vehicle towing it, but smaller SUVs and cars yes it helps tons. All 1 ton trucks you are completely fine.

[@cletusvandamme6262]

@@ThePhool1 Oh, come off it! I tow extensively with my One-ton pickup and his setup is just fine for his application. You need to take a good look around at how things are done in Canada, and the whole rest of the world, to understand that you do NOT need all of that crap just to tow a tiny, light, single axle trailer. You're not impressing anyone with your pseudo-Macho arrogance and holier-than-thou overkill. I suspect that the only thing you ever carry in the back of your "truck" is a couple of aluminum beer cans and the only "off-road" use it gets is a gravel driveway. "Children should be seen and not heard." There's some good advice for 'ya, Junior.

I looked at a 6x12 today for a camper build. It seemed a bit too small for what I want to do. I'm gonna have to go to a 7x14. But nice job...

[@TheNomadStudio]

thanks!!

[@greatheartedgadfly]

Great job! Any issues taking that into an RV park or campground?

[@TheNomadStudio]

Thank you! We usually boondock, but we have also stayed in campgrounds and never had any issues.

[@ZeroEntropy.]

You did two inches of insulation all around? That's r12 with the polyiso, did you do the floors too? How do you feel about that, has it been enough? I plan on doing the same but with 3" for the ceiling. Great looking build, I am very curious about how the indoor air quality is in there though, a lot of products that offgas were used.

[@andreyk.8036]

How much did you pay for the trailer? And the remodel to make the conversion? Looks awesome!

[@annettegallo6940]

What type of car are you using to tow your tiny home? Great job!

[@TheNomadStudio]

Thank you! We tow our trailer with a 2nd gen Nissan Murano

[@gmcjetpilot]

Nice work. I have been looking at small micro trailers I can pull with my VW TDI diesel sportwagen without hurting MPG. I also want the option to still haul stuff like a motorbike and then camp out in the trailer. I am going to make one. The factory stuff seems pretty poor quality. I can put the best systems in and customize it to my mission for little money.

[@cletusvandamme6262]

"...without hurting MPG." You, of all people, should know a thing or two about Physics. How does wind resistance increase as a function of frontal area? What about weight and the coefficient of friction? Simply put, it all takes WORK to move this extra mass down the road. There is no such thing as a "Free" Ride. You will be sorely disappointed by the hit your TDI will take in fuel economy.

[@LetsRVtv]

Nice job! Have you weighed it yet to see how much you're actually towing?

[@suzypee]

At the beginning it says you installed a shower partition wall but it shows the shower in front of the wall. Is the toilet behind it? I think the shower and toilet would have looked better both behind it. I'm guessing there is a reason you did it this Way?

[@TheNomadStudio]

Behind the partition wall, it is only the trailer's V-Nose area. Since it is an acute space, we built 3 storage shelves to use it as our wardrobe area. We just place the porta-potty inside the 2*3 ft RV shower tub.

[@Cindy-cs5js]

Nice!

[@sarahcobb4166]

Nice! Curious about the weight? I'm thinking about doing something similar but possibly smaller since my Element can only tow 1500 lbs.

[@TheNomadStudio]

Hello Sarah! An empty 6*12 cargo trailer weighs about 1200 lbs. Our converted trailer's dry weight is around 2500 lbs and once fully loaded it weighs anywhere between 2800-3000 lbs. I would suggest you to look at tear drop trailers which usually weighs under 1000 lbs

[@etiennemenard630]

Wow.... when I saw the Murano pulling this trailer, I was hoping you had kept it well below 2000 lbs... Are you at all concerned about hauling almost double the max (U.S.) tow rating of the Murano? Did you ever talk to your insurance about it and if they'd still cover you should the worse ever happen? Just curious what kind of liability you might have if something ever does happen...

[@gurumypc]

Max tow capacity for a stock Murano is 3500lbs provided its a class II hitch.

[@Dixiered03]

Awesome

[@kristinewestwood7038]

omg im so happy to see a person of color!! hope to see you guys on the road

[@Blakgun]

I was confused by this comment and had to go repeat the video to see what Kristine was talking about. It's not often that you see such obvious racism apparent in these types of videos. You should perhaps think about what you said Kristine. It was a horrible comment.

[@marie-pierlongchamps9617]

Awesome work. Do you know how much its weight once all loaded?

[@TheNomadStudio]

Thank you! On our Alaska trip,the loaded weight was around 3000 lbs - which included 1 month food/clothes, fully filled 26 gallon tank and addition 15 gallon fresh water.

[@djkilpatrick5256]

So how does the plumbing (grey water) work? Where does it exit/ drain

[@TheNomadStudio]

The kitchen sink outlet drains into a 5 gal portable can. For shower, it drains directly down to the ground, where we use a portable 16qt oil catch pan to collect it. Oil catch pan used for automobile is much cheaper than a regular portable RV grey water tank.

[@glenn3197]

Inefficient electrical system

[@one1wizard]

very nicely done, may I ask what one of these sell for. I am very interested

[@TheNomadStudio]

Hello Tony! not sure what it would sell for, but we spent about 10k (new trailer + build) in total.

[@kyleyoung4974]

its not a circuit board.. its a 120v electrical panel..

[@Noka1219]

I thought Murano can tow max 1500 lbs. I wouldn't pull anything over 1000 lbs. Awesome job on trailer btw.

[@TheNomadStudio]

Ours is a second gen Murano and it is rated to tow 3500 lbs. Our trailer weighs much lower than the tow rating.

Looks nice clean build. Wow $10k !! Trailers run about $3k new for a ‘6 x 12’ with brakes and $2k -$3k on a decent interior build includes solar goodies. For $10k you could have bought a very nice smaller factory built with more amenities. Pulling with that car is not wise for the weight. Bigger SUV , van or 1/2 ton truck would be safer. People make that mistake pretty often because Nissan tells you you can. Good for their parts and repair business.

If this is not enough space for you, you have too much stuff. Show God how much you love Him back, and spend every ounce of energy you can loving on PEOPLE like Yeshua said. When asked a decent question, he gave a straight answer. Which is the greatest of the commandments? If you already know the answer he gave from learning in Sunday school, good, remind yourself of the answer. If you don't know anything about this passage or where to find it, it's not like me to just post the answer, there's a lot to it -what commandments? Who's Yeshua? And stuff like that. #hisnameiYehoVAH

[@HaroldReece]

The nice part of being an American is you get to believe or not believe in any thing you wish. Whether you choose to believe in any religion or any other fairy tales still doesn't have any thing to do with camping.

As a Christian I do not see any use for your comments here on a trailer conversion for camping and traveling.
