Detailed Walk Thru Part 2, Plus, A Big Apology

[@michaelmitchell9612]

The guy is just JEALOUS of your rig which is GREAT!

[@billanddeb]

Thanks

[@doreenandrew4229]

I’ve never thought anything of the use of your term chase-ways and I wouldn’t have brought it up even if I did but some people are just nitpicking I guess, I love your channel and wouldn’t change a thing 🥰

[@gogogo1064]

I love the taco bell handles on either side of the toilet seat 😂🤣😂🤣

[@billanddeb]

That's how we lift it off to change out the poop bucket.

[@serenitysealed485]

Thank you for the tour Bill and Deb. I am requesting prayers for a gentleman whom lost his conversion home yesterday on the side of the road. He was able to detach his vehicle, but his home was a total loss. We saw the heavy dark smoke and a few flames. It took 3 fire engines to suppress the fire. The poor gentleman was standing well back behind the fire crews watching his home burn. I do not know if he had fire extinguishers on board as you both have strongly suggested. But if a few prayers can go up on his behalf. Nothing in his conversion trailer could be saved.

[@billanddeb]

So very sad, our prayers are with him

[@carlstanoyevic3070]

What a tragedy. Hope everyone is safe . My prayers go out to him and family.

Hi Bill and Deb. Congrats on this absolutely beautiful and amazing build. It truly has everything anyone could want in a tiny home. I have been watching and researching tiny home builds for almost a year. Your build is like nothing I have every seen. I will be 65 years old next week. I now live in a 2 bed 2 bath manufactured house in North Central Florida by myself. I have downsized everything to go tiny. I love it. Living minimal just feels right to me. Thank you for your inspiration. You both should be so proud of what you have built.

Raceway: 2) a channel for loosely holding electrical wires in buildings “chaseway” The word you've entered isn't in the dictionary. Click on a spelling suggestion below or try again using the search bar above. The above from Webster’s. In good humor here’s a word you can use that’ll “stir the pot”… I grew up and worked in Alaska so we have utilidors. Also from Webster’s: Utilidor: an aboveground insulated conduit used for general utility service especially in arctic climates. 😂

[@bradfordturkington964]

P. S. to be correct just say chase.

Bill you have already told us that you are not an electrician or an electrical engineer. So call it what you want. We understand what you are talking about. Your explanation was great an informative. Carry on and God Bless. None of us are perfect.

[@dianak2348]

Chaseway: Structure within which the utilities for a Utility Distribution System are located." A raceway is an enclosed channel that forms a physical pathway for electrical wiring. Raceways protect the inner workings (wires and cables) from heat, corrosion, humidity, water, and other kinds of threats Since your Chaseway encloses several items and not just electrical it is more a chaseway not a raceway

[@billanddeb]

Thank you for all your research.

[@paulsylvester1394]

My favorite part is the thought and serviceability built into the rig. I’m in a Gran Designs travel trailer just for camping and I think you have shown me how to greatly improve things by building my own.

I love your build and the red art work and appliance package, Deb you are a very good artist and you both have really good taste in interior design and function. I love watching all the video tours of other people's cargo trailers that you do and I'm trying to learn as much as I can cuz I'm hoping in the not too distant future to buy a cargo trailer and attempt to do a build, so thanks again for all that you two do and don't worry too much about what the haters who think they know it all and are quick to point out how stupid the rest of us are in order to make themselves look smarter or feel Superior when really they are insecure and also immature, I personally thought you did an excellent job of explaining everything and made it easy for someone like me who has no electrical background to understand, thanks again and GOD Bless you both.

[@davej7434]

Thanks for the follow up video, answered a few other questions I didn't get to yet. Just a question that keeps popping up in my head, why not get a used Work and Play as the base, gut it and set it up the way you want. They tell me they have the metal studs in the walls, unlike campers, but you have most of the mechanics when you get one. I keep seeing used fore sale Work and Play 18EC and thinking why not?

[@billanddeb]

Sounds like a plan

[@billanddeb]

This is Bill. We considered doing the same thing. We found a 2 year old one at what seemed to be a very good price. However, I noticed the ceiling was sagging in the wrong direction. I actually called the manufacturer, and they told me it's all 2×2 wood frame construction, walls, and ceiling. They might have changed up in the last few years, but if I were you, I'd do a little more research, just to be certain.

[@davej7434]

@billanddeb If I do pull the pin on a W&P toyhauler, I plan to inspect the wall construction, I have talked to RV service people asking about the units, seems they can't tell me if they are wood, steel, aluminum.

[@pacoperkid13]

I had a couple questions about the bathroom. It may have been covered in a previous video but I wasn't sure... What are the little round vents near the top of the shower walls? The other question I had was regarding the poop bucket... Lol When everything is all said and done.. Does the bucket get..refreshed? Trying not to be graphic. Just thinking about the logistics of that set up. Never used one before like that. Maybe looking up some literature of the do's and don'ts of the..Doodoo bucket would be more appropriate. Lol great videos. Thanks!

[@billanddeb]

The vents above the shower are just that. Vent. We figured it would be a good idea to let that area breathe to control condensation behind the panels. The poop bucket is lined with a heavy-duty trash bag. When it's time to change it out, we simply pull the trash bag out, tie it off, and dispose of it. We've never felt the bucket needs to be "refreshed." The odors (if any) are contained in the trash bag.

[@pacoperkid13]

@@billanddeb Ahh... Do they vent to the outside of the trailer? By refreshed I was meaning just add more pellets or change it out altogether.. Sorry, I probably should have been more specific. I appreciate the quick responses!

[@younghoggy]

Bill I simply call it a chase. Whether it be an electrical chase, HVAC chase, ........ So whichever way you use sounds good to me 👍 U be U!

It was very good

[@Eric-pg4tn]

I think it would be neat if you produced a video show the maintenance that you have to do and at what intervals...

[@billanddeb]

That's a great idea, but so far we have had to do very little maintence. We replaced the water pump last month (the old one still worked), greased the trailer wheels last November, we replaced the shower box last summer, and worked on mini split last April. So far that's it.

[@mvrussisonline]

Hey Bill and Deb. I’m using the Rule shower box thanks to you guys. I’m still building. This morning I got the water all hooked up and testing was going great until I noticed the Rule box overflowing from the built in overflow. Fortunately I put it in a plastic tray to test so that caught the spillover. Do you guys have issue with overwhelming the shower box and if so how do you handle? I know your shower box is maybe 6 feet from grey tank, mine has to pump about 15 ft. Maybe the issue. Thanks!

[@billanddeb]

That's a new one in me. The only time we had an issue was when the float switch actually failed. But , yes, you're correct, it only has to push the water about 4 to 5 feet, plus, we used 1 inch tubing.

[@billanddeb]

I might suggest you contact Rule. Your pump might possibly be weak. They are recognized as THE shower box company. They might have a solution.

[@mvrussisonline]

@@billanddeb thanks. Well I figured it out. Stupid user trick. I’m just testing with s few small 12v batteries hooked to rule and water pump. Wore the batteries down below the pump’s minimum voltage need. Red faced! At least my pumps are good! Off to the next task! Thanks for your responses.

[@billanddeb]

Lol. Glad you figured it out. Had me worried. I might suggest utilizing the outlet way up in the upper left as an overflow. We actually put a fitting on it and routed a tube down through the floor. That way, if the pump ever fails, you will not unknowingly flood your trailer. That's what we did.

[@mvrussisonline]

@@billanddeb good idea. I have the water heater and rule in a single cabinet. I put a plastic tray on the floor with intentions having a simple drain thru floor for potential overflow. I think I’ll also do what you did, better it go straight outside, save the pan for water heater leaks. Water heater pop off will also go straight thru floor. I sure appreciate your feedback.
