How to Build a Travel Trailer - DIY Guide to Installing the Floor and Framing

[@felixcat9318]

What an absolute delight to find such a well designed, meticulously precise build whose craftsmanship is outstanding in every respect! The exemplary design and beautiful build of the chassis together with the remarkable care and attention to detail of the floor system and wall supports is captivating and inspirational. The care taken in the timber frame whose flawless joints remind me of the precision Japanese carpentry seen on KZbin and is testament to the superb quality ofthis exquisite build. Subscribed!

I'm very pleased you built atop of a metal sheet. I can't tell you how many campers I have repaired that had bare plywood that had become mouse houses. critters don't like the flavor of aluminum.

[@Ballstothewalls69]

Doesn’t different metals touching corrode them? Or does the black paint on the steel prevent that

[@D-Vinko]

​@@Ballstothewalls69 Dissimilar metals corrode, especially in the presence of an electrolyte. Realistically, keeping moisture out will prevent galvanic corrosion in this use case.

[@enstigatorofficial]

bolting the wooden frame and floor to the metal trailer would be a good idea

[@bigpatty823]

Are you worried about galvanic corrosion between the aluminum floor and steel frame?

[@willcash16]

He should

[@thecrazykiwi123]

I was about to say same thing. I'd worry the two will rub in time to start the corrosion process

[@thisolddog2259]

Very nice build. I spent 4 years in the shell department as a roof setter for Skyline RV. With this small of travel trailer it doesn't matter so much because you are limited on space when it comes to cabinetry. We built them from the inside out meaning once the floor was built the plumbing was installed then all the floor level cabinetry was set at 1 5/8 from the edge of the floor. Then the pre built walls were installed. The overhead cabinets were then screwed to the walls. After that every thing was back stapled (just hope you never have to remove any of them) next came the prebuilt roof and all the overhead cabinets were back stapled in place. After that it went to electrical then metal then final finish and dealer prep. We were building about 13 a day depending what they were. We did 5th wheels, toy haulers, park models and travel trailers. You really did a wonderful job.

[@thisolddog2259]

@Chris C indeed my friend, to this day I probably hold the worlds reccord for.... "The man most cussed out by RV repairmen!" I think if I were to build my own I'd still build inside out but instead of back stapling I'd put backers in the walls and cleats on the cabinets and screw them to the walls And the same with the overheads. I've actually been toying around with doing a teardrop using one of those harbor freight trailers.

[@tommullenix2990]

I done an add-on for some people, add-on to a modular home. Those staples effin suck! I'm not a fan of modular homes! Basically a camper with more space!

[@djk8541]

I had the misfortune of working for at a Fleetwood plant (metal skirting, roofs, and installing 12v components), I can't recall how many we were putting out a day but they loved to run us ragged Monday thru Thursday and then send us home Friday to screw us out of overtime.

[@thisolddog2259]

@@djk8541 Yip they're all sweat shops. The nice thing for us was the pay being based on insensitive (basically piece work) when you finished your coaches you went home. What sucked was when you had a bunch of 5th wheels with slideouts and toy haulers. Then it was a really long day!

[@jeffmockus5400]

​@@thisolddog2259And that is a big part of the problem with crap RV quality. Slam em out and go home. Staples through wires? Not my problem. Screw under the roof membrane? Not my problem.

Aluminium onto a steel frame??? what about electrolysis??? as soon as the underneath gets wet you've just made a huge battery!!!! the steel chassis WILL rust and the alloy will corrode!! and even worse people are telling you what a great job you've done!! good intentions don't mean good work!

[@arcticredpanda4598]

Very nice build and well made video. My two cents. If you are concerned about water damage on the plywood, you can use marine ply. Yes, it's a lot more expensive. Also on my Architecture school project, I got dinged for placing aluminum directly onto steel. I was supposed to put a layer of rubber in between to prevent electrolysis. Looking forward to the next video.

[@Jeaux20]

Wouldn't the rubber barrier be moot if there were metal screws holding the flange to the metal or would it not matter since they're stainless?

[@eljamoquio]

@@Jeaux20 The stainless bolts shouldn't be used with aluminum either. That's going to cause corrosion too.

[@OgglyGoogly]

Can use polycarbonate plastic floor as well

[@JeremyBage]

@@Jeaux20The use of stainless steel straps on aluminum conduit is one of the preferred methods in waste water plants. Very little corrosion will be seen even after several years in this toxic environment.

Excellent call for the aluminum floor. Great job.cool.

[@brentjackson2312]

Thanks for the very thorough video of your quality rebuild. Aside from the potential for galvanic corrosion, already mentioned, I would be concerned with that aluminum "pan" causing any water (spills, condensation) that might get into the wood floor to be trapped. Without a path to drain, trapped water can cause rotting and mold. Since you have it in cold environments often, perhaps interior heating or dehumidifier will allow adequate evaporation.

[@trueaussie9230]

In my experience 'untrained builders' of anything often do a more thorough job than the 'professionals' simply because they don't know how to 'cut corners' - or even which corners can be cut. When working in a discipline I'm not familiar with I tend to 'over engineer' simply 'to be sure to be sure'. "You can't break the rules until you know how to play the game." (with apologies to Rickie Lee Jones)

I think instead of the metal pan it sits in you could just take the plywood floor to be sprayed with a bed liner like Rhino Skin or the similar it's what the factory used on pretty much the entire bottom of my RV 30 year's ago and it's still solid even after my onboard water tank leaked and had to be replaced. Like many of the comments mention the pan might be your weakest link.

[@RobbieBoy33]

Yeah, l would have sealed the ply or used marine grade.

[@ThisOldMan-ya472]

Metal touching wood without airflow is a sure recipe for rot. Humidity inside the trailer cabins, is the real culprit for rv camper trailer failures. Without air space and air flow is also a recipe for black mold.

Just a heads up, you should look into the steel against aluminum. They react and the aluminum degrades. I tore apart an old travel trailer once and there were holes in the aluminum sheeting where it touched the steel.

Very impressive definitely that’s the difference when you make it yourself you know that your using the best materials so it will last a long time. Great project!!!

[@rp3874]

Credit to you for having a go at it yourself. Having said that starting something as large as this without prior experience can lead to issues, which you have a few going on. The major one is the timber framing, especially for the roof. Do you have a carpenter friend or someone that can help you out? There is a lot wrong with it, not something that would survive going 70mph down a highway and passing a semi.

[@Erika70079]

I'm hoping to build one of these soon. Don't have a carpenter friend though. What are some major things you see wrong?

[@rp3874]

@@Erika70079 there isn't a good load path from the roof to the metal trailer frame. The studs are screwed to the floor flashing only, this is not good! It could easily pull off the trailer frame and the whole top of the camper fly off. Also the frame needs to be braced, if you look carefully when he pushes the framing the whole timber structure deforms! It needs at least some ply bracing sheets, metal strap bracing, or timber inclined bracing. Additional to that, he has unknowingly built in some self-destruct mechanisms by using different metals (S/S fixings to aluminium and steel). These dissimilar metals cause rapid corrosion, leading to premature failure of the metals/fixings. Also boxing in the ply flooring like that will lead to condensation accumulating, with nowhere to go it will lead to premature rotting of the floor, which he was trying to prevent. While a little more expensive, composite boards used by the marine industry are stronger, lighter and will never rot! Relying on silicone and "sticky tape" to hold it all together.... sorry no thanks!

[@kennielanner8173]

@@rp3874 I was thinking the same, and also, you should never use silicone on aluminium. The acid in the silicone etches the aluminium and will eventually eat up the metal and make it porous. There is silicone w/o acid which I hope he used, but butyl or sikaflex is preferred as a sealent.

[@colemeeker908]

Nice work! Curious if you bolted the floor to frame. I suppose that would be unnecessary because the edge flashing is steel and bolted and also avoids holes through the floor

[@daysseasons6537]

Personally speaking, I would have most definitely screwed the wood floor to the frame of the trailer just for conscience sake. Not totally depending on the thin aluminum edging to hold the entire build to the trailer frame.. Just saying. you could always waterproof a bolt with rubber washer and gasket sealer

[@shoffman94566]

You are such a stud! Great engineering and you do it all on your own! Just amazing.

[@gregr7967]

That was very thoughtful and probably works well on the floor. Your precision is admirable as well. As to the floor... I may have used pressure treated plywood and painted the underside with plastic roofing cement. I use it on ground contact posts a foot above and a foot below the contact point and it works great. It would be a LOT less work (and maybe less expensive as well). You could alleviate the aluminum sheeting underside altogether. Even with road debris you probably would only have to repaint the underside every three years or so.

[@alanbellkey4592]

Very nice job I am extremely impressed I have bought and fixed lots of 1950s and the 60s camp trailers and they are built very chintzy this trailer you are building you can take it to Moab and run the courses very good job

[@ironwoodoverland]

Why isn't the framing for the walls, or the subfloor for that matter, attached to the steel trailer frame? Isn't it a bad idea to depend on that thin sheet metal and construction adhesive to hold everything together?

[@billsmith7673]

Was thinking the same thing. I don't think the adhesive can adhere to aluminum that well anyway because it is too smooth.

[@carsondavid4449]

The weight alone will hold the build down and when you are driving you do not much to hold it there and any screw or bolt to hold it down would make it not water proof

[@user-3tf67bk46u]

@@carsondavid4449 I think you are underestimating the force created by wind. For example, aside from winds due to storms, I'd be concerned with incredible blast hit from a tractor trailer flying by going the opposite direction on a two-lane road. Add that to a day maybe he's doing a bit faster than usual and there is tremendous force there. I think it would be prudent if he were to 'still' drill and bolt everything to the frame through the walls bottom plate even if he had to create some access holes from the inside. Hopefully he can access still from under cabinets and holding tank etc areas. The frame looks very sturdy from what I could tell. If he builds another, he'll probably use a thick Rhino spray, maybe backed up with rubber strips in line with each floor member to fend off any unlike metal reactions..of which commenters have made him very aware by now. I think his walls integrity will stiffen up a fair bit depending on what he plans to sheath them with. The one thing I wasn't clear on, was whether the floor holding flashing with the stainless steel bolts was also made out of aluminum? If it was a thick galvanized steel flashing, that'd be good to know. Otherwise I too think it's a weak spot. Sure makes nice true joints and cuts. The man has skills. Wish him and the family only good things.👍

[@tinydinoflock]

@@user-3tf67bk46u all the older trailers were built this way. Skirting boards were attached to the frame and the wall framing was attached to the skirt. RVs need to have sway because of exactly what you described. A completely rigid frame would fail quickly on the road.

I bought a 69’ prowler at 16ft. Never meant to polish a “turd”, the frame and axel are pristine considering its age. I realized I bit off more than I could chew- kind of expected it - but didn’t realize how much I would have to do to keep it rolling!

I’ve always wondered why manufacturers don’t use a 3/4” composite floor. Kinda like synthetic decking. That way you wouldn’t have had to spend all that time screwing around with that aluminum. That would also prevent any water leak damage from inside the trailer as well. From water leaks. Just an idea I’ve always pondered..

[@TheRoadTaken]

I'm redoing my attic and YT algorithms suggested this video for me to watch though it is not related to my current project. That said, the care you are putting into your build is impressive and I have a few questions. 1) Did you use regular decking or marine grade (I may have missed it if you stated in the video). If regular, why? 2) Did you consider tongue and groove plywood? In an attic situation, it really enhances support. There are also H-clips you can slip between plywood (w/o T&G) to help keep the panels inline, too. As you know, RV trailers are homes experiencing a constant earthquakes and just wonder if the T&G or H-clips would help at all in a DIY build such as this.

When we built the Fifth wheel, we did it in a 2 car garage with a 7' door. We assembled the floor, walls up to the point where they kick up for the part over the bed and had those sections fabricated. with interior paneling. When it was time, we rolled the assembled portion out and jacked it up and rolled the frame under. The kick up area was keyed to the rest of the sides and slipped together quickly. We had it all assembled outside in one day and got it covered for protection.
