DIY Cargo Trailer Tiny Home w/ Elevator Bed & Unique Design

[@BlackDogDesigns]

Sydney had me in tears and she is so right! Live your life now because nobody is promised tomorrow. I’m 61 fighting my second round of cancer and this time it’s stage 4, we still have a sticks and bricks home but my favorite place to be is in our 19 ft Geo Pro trailer anywhere out in nature. Loved this video more than I can express❤️

[@sydneyandalbert]

Keep up the fight! My father always believed his positive outlook and determination to not let the cancer take away his joys in life was what kept him going so long. Sending healing and uplifting thoughts your way

[@Snyc2030]

Sending you love and light and wishing the best for you in fighting cancer.

[@pdq5465]

Sending you positive thoughts & prayers. I hope that you have lots of emotional & physical support. Thinking of you🙏🏻🇨🇦

[@LaLaineGuevarra-i5r]

Also on my journey again. I have decided this time I will not give my joy away or let it keep me from living life to the fullest. Sending you healing energy🙏🏽

[@suek.3448]

Sydney's insightful words brought tears to my eyes! I spent my life working on reaching my goals and I'm happy to report that I achieved them! However it was all work and I made NO time to travel. I thought I would do that when I retired. Only now, I am not physically able to even walk the park at a local zoo. People, DO NOT WAIT TO TRAVEL UNTIL YOU RETIRE! DON'T DO IT! Thank you Sydney for the Truth Bomb you delivered to us. Take care and I will be following you guys on your journeys! Much love to you both! ❤❤

[@mariamarshall6116]

I like this no frills real talk couple , they don’t seem to just be living on a trend.

[@suemcknight9051]

Sydney speaks great wisdom about living life… and, it always sad to be as young as she is to have had great losses to earn that ❤wisdom. I admire & really like what they are doing…

[@Charlotte-bn4gp]

I believe my husband and I,(62&60) have found a very happy medium. We spend days on the river with our grandchildren, we spend weekends with our kids when we can and EVERDAY we enjoy life together. In 3 years, with our 14ft box truck, we hope to see some of this big ol' nation and when we do, we'll be calling you for a tour of our tiny home!!!😀 Loooove your tiny home💖

[@mauricepowers3804]

I'm in Savannah and I would love to do what you're doing. Your build is very nice!❤❤

[@yourlifeisagreatstory]

This is why I enjoy this channel. It’s the way people can find a way to use any platform to start with and utilize the space to make it into a home. It’s amazing how many options are out there besides going the route of a van.

[@TinyDreamer]

Amazing cargo van!! Loved seeing your tiny space and all the neat things you designed. 😍 I cried at the end when Sydney spoke of her parents passing. And she's right...life is short. Live life to your fullest.

[@sydneyandalbert]

[@sashastarshanti3599]

Wow, I'm super impressed with Sydney and Albert's choice to live their lives fully now… Very wise and lovely people. Best of luck to them in all their adventures and goals. And that is one cute dog, too!

[@Snyc2030]

What an amazing and delightful couple, and their rig is chef's kiss.

[@lesiamccluskey5081]

You are exactly right. I am 67 years old and I can’t turn back time. I can tell others not to work their life away and enjoy life. God has given us one life there’s no going back only going forward. Live your life now God bless you both.

[@pdq5465]

The world seems like such a different place than it was when I was starting out in my adult life. I think that boomers’ kids have watched us working our butts off & seeming to live to work & have realized that life if too short to live that way. I think that many of us are realizing that we can live with far less stuff and use our resources to enjoy life. Good for this couple. I wish you many happy, healthy, enjoyable years & a wonderful life together.❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦

[@SMafam5]

Though I love our 6x10 CTC we designed to sleep family of 4 & a dog, I definitely would design the next CTC like yours with a back deck/ramp. Way to go! Both our Moms died from cancer - my heart goes out to you both. Though I would love to travel more - I am grateful for the local adventures we have been able to have with our kids and friends & family. Being able to detach is very useful on family vacations especially with bikes. The CTC with removeable bed at back means it can haul a lot of fun for everyone (& extra tents / camp gear too so more can join us). And becomes a 2nd garage in winter. I would add a shower too if it was a full time rig but for camping trips, the bucket (or a trelino) works just fine.

[@SMafam5]

Your tiny house is amazing! Very cozy and efficient! Love the idea of being able to have a vehicle that you can detach and use! Beautiful detail and a great creative layout! Excited to see what you guys come up with next!

[@ksk6101]

As a 64 yr old I think your life style is exactly what I would have done if I could do it over. I became ill and quite limited so was not able to do what I dreamed of doing when I retired. Getting better and pursuing some of those dreams now. But doing things the way so many young people are is the answer.

[@pdq5465]

Good luck with your health. I hope that you are able to pursue your dreams and enjoy your life. Take care of yourself❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦

[@anitaried115]

Glad I watched! I never thought of a cargo trailer but it can also be very stealthy too! To live in any tiny space mobile or a base camp situation the systems you’ve installed are well thought out and the fact that you can run all the amenities (sun allowed) is hopeful for all that want to try this! Love the personal stories that relate to the why this lifestyle. Very relatable!

I enjoyed everything about this video. You couldn’t pay me to live this way but I understand why it’s important and valuable for you.

Really well done video! The design and the tour. Most people over talk on the videos and I like that you didn't. I'm sorry to hear of your parents passing so young. It's hard. And it definitely gives life perspective. It helps a ton that you have each other, and appear to have DIY aptitude if not skills! Not everyone does. Thank you for sharing.

[@suek.3448]

Right? I hate when people talk non stop on their house tours and start telling us about their favorite little stature or decoration! Who care? And they show the person's face talking more than the tiny home. Nope, this video was perfection. All imports words about their tiny home and the whys of each item including the whys of their life style! And what a gift with the message at the end!

[@llorylloyd]

I absolutely love this build. It has everything you need and can park and go. What type of vehicle do you use to pull it❓

I was enjoying the video until I reached the part where she spoke about life towards the end (around 18:00), mentioning that life has no guarantees. I feel deeply sorry for your loss. As a medical doctor who works with elderly patients with comorbidities, I witness people passing away every day. This has led me to reflect on the kind of life I want to lead. Your words moved me to tears.

[@mailinglist2451]

She’s right. There indeed are no guarantees in life so we ought to live life as fully as possible… but we ought to also save for our retirement because “there are no guarantees in life” - what if we live past 65, but don’t have enough to live on cuz we just didn’t work enough or save enough? There’s a happy medium. Spend mostly only on the things we need, save for retirement, but also have a “fun fund” to enjoy life on. Just my two cents.

[@user-spacrazie]

You are 100% correct.

[@pdq5465]

It’s quite a balancing act, but I totally agree with you .

For the unfinished space above the fridge…I would put some type of door with a screened/chicken wire front so u can use the are the same for bread, produce, etc. It would make it look more finished and wouldn’t look bad with the rest of the decor. 👍🏼

Sydney seems like she is wise beyond her age. I can tell you from personal experience that regrets will come as you get older for putting off your dreams to work hard and save while you're young. I never thought I would be in debilitating chronic pain at the age of 54, but that's how my life is. My Lord Jesus is the only reason I'm not saddened by it all. I have more joy and peace every day in my walk with the Lord Jesus. God bless these 2 as they live their amazing life, always 🤗🤗

Hi guys, thanks for sharing your video about your van/trailer. I think it was very interesting like you said you don’t know how long you going to be here at 58 years old I had a major truck accident I had fractured skull brain damage 550 mm of my back fused up with two titanium rods 15 breaks in my ribs. My left lung exploded. They did keyhole surgery I had six blood clots in it seven more operations to try to save my right leg which they removed above. My knee died three times in a coma for 29 days. Had to learn to eat drink and speak again major skin graphs. My right hand was under a truck wheel for an hour and a half and they were going to remove my fingers. Thank God they didn’t. I told them no I’ve been stuck in a wheelchair for the last six years, thank god I can drive a car ride a three wheel motorbike and have a space pod camper so I can go camping with my two dogs, but other than that I’m okay keep up the good work. Enjoy life for you again from Australia

Behind the idea of living in a small space, I have the other one of living with a reasonable consumption of material objects and machines. For the industrial pollution not to be my fault. Not the case here apparently. But life would be sad if we were all the same.

Its cool but for 5k more you could get a grand design imagine with a really cool layout. just saying. But I really love the diy

[@sydneyandalbert]

We would have had to spend an extra $10k making an RV off grid capable with a solar system, and I personally am really not a fan at all of the way RVs are built and the drab aesthetic. Our build is made of high-quality cabinet grade plywood and cedar, with a nice tile shower that I know will last a long time. RVs are built with particle board, plastic, and vinyl and are not known for holding up over time.

You are right, live for today, we know not what tomorrow will bring. May I ask what you paid for the trailer that you live in now, what are the dimensions,and what do you use to tow it? The grace of God has allowed me to make it to age 66, I have a leg amputation and am diabetic, I’ve had dreams of living the Nomadic lifestyle for about 5 years now and have been watching YT to see how others do it. I wish I had started when I was younger, I still may take the leap. I like the idea of a raised bed. I can’t decide between building a tiny house on wheels, a box truck or a cargo trailer. I like the layout of your cargo trailer and the amount of storage that you have. I like the idea of a box truck because it doesn’t require a towing vehicle. All of the types of builds that I mentioned have their own set of problems and challenges that can be solved to some degree of satisfaction to make them liveable with consideration towards compromise.
