Elevator Bed in Cargo Trailer Camper Conversion Tiny House Tour

[@rvail136]

Obviously people who aren't used to talking to the public...which is rather a nice change. They're proud of their work, with good reason.

[@Canuckbelgo]

The sweetest couple! I love what they created as well. Thank you for sharing this.

[@ADONAIsays-so]

Many cool ideas. I really like the big drawer below the stove. That tall ceiling makes a huge difference.

[@usernameisusername]

Great couple. Amazing little trailer.

[@alternativehometours77]

it is a very nice trailer!

[@BS-uj2qc]

What a fantastic layout: wonderful to reuse cabinets and materials, well thought out. A dual dometic; learned something new!

[@christophertraines4739]

Wow, this is one of the best conversions I’ve seen!

[@tjholman6195]

That is an INSANE amount of propane I love it

[@1950harleycharley]

What a cute couple...living a very cute trailer...very comfy and homey....good job of making good use of small space!

[@pamcolechadwell1302]

WOW, I love that really tiny home. It has everything that some bigger tiny homes don't have.

[@alternativehometours77]

they really have a very nice build

[@cathybronson1312]

Love that you used the cabinet that has meaning to you. Nice camper.

[@ricks.1318]

REALLY quite the PERFECT cargo trailer conversion !!! FANTASTIC lay-out ....

[@citten4u]

Nice build. Love the adjustable bed. It's awesome.

[@dfros1957]

This is one of the nicest conversations I have see. They did a wonderful job. Love it. 😊❤😊

[@Emperador-19]

For the trailer space it seems that they have everything and well distributed. 👍🏽

[@asailorandhisdogslyknight5391]

Thanks for sharing, I like the way people make do with what they have and grow from that point later realizing they don't need a lot to be happy, to bad they don't teach that in school.

[@annwithaplan9766]

I really like this conversion. Looks just right for a couple.

[@wayneelliott9523]

Very nice couple, awesome conversion trailer. Thanks for letting them tell their own story, great video!

[@brotherchristopher2149]

That space with drawers by the door could be a couch and have a tv on the other side thinking outside the box! Awesome build for these guys awesome build!

[@alvashoemaker8536]

NO Efeatures!! Love those propane tanks; AND the idea of raising the roof on the cargo trailer: it offers SO many opportunities for cbanges...WOW---

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

I thought my propane tanks were big...holy smokes.

[@RVingwithG]

I love the Slide out fridge! I'd put the bed on a pulley system.

[@lencost1]

Yes Seven, this trailer is spectacular, and well thought out!

[@alternativehometours77]

lots of great ideas here!

[@anndoig2459]

Very nice - all bases covered

[@perezm714]

I like the cooler slide out. At first I thought it awkward having it in the rear of the trailer, but with that slide feature, it makes sense.

[@markbunker5934]

Nice people. Nice trailer. Thank you for sharing.

[@jacquelynzajac1570]

Looks like you have room for a water tank inside of one of cupboards to feed both your shower & sink. You only need 11-13 gallons of fresh water, so the tanks aren't very big or expensive and you already have your pump., much easier than carrying water, you put a access thing on the outside to fill with a hose, works great. We only use that water for showers & dishes not drinking. Just a suggestion., you have a nice layout, good luck .

[@cheyjan330]

Very nicely thought out build. Cargo Trailers at the way to go! What a talented couple! Nice filming Seven!

[@alternativehometours77]

thx Janelle for watching and your comment

[@mischef18]

Another cool video in this series of Nomadic home tours, it is well set out for their needs. Cheers for posting

[@alternativehometours77]

thanks Ken for watching! I always enjoy your comments

[@jonrunyon2455]

Like the elevator bed gives me a few ideas I would probably put it on automatic like electric crane pulley system

[@pleasedontfollowmegoaway2239]

Very we’ll made setup . That’s great that you bring of your childhood with you

[@aidamelendez9835]

God bless you both, your a beautiful and gorgeous couple. Love the van and the way you both have it.

[@swolfe4096]

Cool, I like how you have it configurable with the E track and peg board. Very clever design!

[@spacebike420]

With such a heavy built trailer I wonder if you could build a "deck" out the back. like the back doors open and make a deck area that's screened in so you can leave it up when camping. Nice build!

[@jodyseaman1885]

What size is your trailer? Length and width? I really like your layout, great job!

[@dabsbiggestfan2905]

8.5ft tall 8 ft wide 20ft long is what I'm guessing

[@marthamurray8379]

What a wonderful place you have made a home from home I’m so jealous.stay safe from Scotland

[@paulnelson7384]

Really nice! My thinking would be to add 12 inches to the floor with floor joists to add water storage and grey tank. They could still use the lower rear portion for seating. Power bed lift would be nice and commercial mechanical lift would work if they don't use electric lift.

[@sinfullyblondie]

Absolutely Love this Home :)

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

Great conversion! I have that same Dometic freezer/fridge and love it. I am thinking how to make my own adjustable full size bed with eTrack as I view this video. Thanks for all the ideas!

[@raymondwestfall699]

use a pulley system along with the E track so one person can lift it by there self

[@morenatrooper1438]

Love how clean it looks

[@jacquelynzajac1570]

Hi watching your video, fyi we have a 6x12 cargo conversion you mentioned putting in a shower, we put a Tankless, ventless demand hot water heater on the wall next to the shower, love it ! Less than $200 online. I believe we paid about $179 at Camping worlds online site. It furnishes both shower & kitchen sink. Oh, its propane. Good luck

[@jacquelynzajac1570]

You can also add a really narrow grey tank for the sink & shower put it under the floor,

[@kellyname5733]

Great video. That "bucket" system is gonna' get old soon. If your installing all that plumbing and a water on demand, just go the extra mile and make it convenient for your indoor living. In cold weather you are not going to want to go outside and do all that pumping of water and so on.

[@pkkenncor]

Awesome, love your trailer🌺🌺🌹🌺🌺

[@maryolson3677]

Excellent conversion

[@richardfettig5974]

nice layout !

[@judymcgowan2881]

You should set the bed up on electric to go up and down. Have seen on other campers.

[@Mason-pq3kv]

Electric motors can die out and can be a PITA to replace if everything is over said motor

[@delightful75]

Mason agreed

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

There is nothing that cannot be made better with more time, money and complication yet simplicity is often best.

[@mds1986ms]

Its only a pain in the ass if you design as if you wont be the guy fixing it. Also they use linear actuators in hospital beds, elevator, industrial case clamps blah blah blah and they never fail. Like never. And if they do theres always a keyway for manual operation. I second the motion for the motorization of the bed.

[@CurtisDrew1]

I've used a cheap Harbor Freight 440 lb cap electric winch for over 10 years to raise my 16'W X 12'H shop doors. I don't think worrying about "what if it should go out someday?" is a good argument. He's already lifting the bed with his back, so stringing cables to raise and lower the bed should never wear one out. And you could just use a 12 volt 1000 lb winch to save needing an inverter. Just use garage door railings and rollers to make the bed go up and down smoothly and cheaply. Replacement parts at your nearest box store. And he can always retain the current channel guides as a back up & for the added sleeping areas he has the planned option to build. Love that tall trailer.

[@glorialeach7301]

Wow!! Nice set up 👍😊

[@CurtisDrew1]

I'm thinking you could motorize that bed lift real easy. And if you mounted your TV (that's on the wall above the freezer box) flush into the wall you could watch it from the couch with the bed up or lower the bed and have the TV at the foot of your bed. I had a 17" cargo trailer I was going to modify like that, but didn't because it was only 6'3" tall inside and felt it would take to much effort to raise the roof up like yours. So I sold it and built a Pop up tear drop trailers. Niclely done camper trailer Guys.

[@ellencha5975]

I love everything about it excepts why not put more windows in it. Especially in your sitting area.

[@sandrahurley3854]

A window in the seating area would put a glare on the television. Guess you could put a room darkening drape on the window, for television watching times. Give it some thought.

[@lpmama1196]

@TOM ARCHER No need to shout, Capt. Obvious.

[@firebreathingmoonbeam3961]

Stealth

[@JesusFreakJene]

It's very thoughtfully planned. A couple questions, where do you shower when it's not hooked up yet & laundry? Also, I think a powerlift for the bed would make it more user friendly for when you are older. So are the solar panels attached to the roof? Helps to have craftsman in the family and being raised around craftsmen 🙂

[@leannaestep3066]

This is really nice...lots of room!

[@garthlocklin6355]

Did he say the floor size of the trailer? I like the height but 7 foot would work for me; all of them need to be 2 axles for handling on windy days and an occasional flat tire. I would get the pointed nose and some could have brakes added, i suppose it depends on the tow vehicle. For me alone with my dog and maybe an occasional guest I think a 7x12 would do for part time. I already have done almost 2 months in a Prius hatchback but as I age the the lack of a bathroom sucks, especially on cold rainy days. The temp feature of the Prius is the bestest!

[@Tripsolo65]

Excellent build! Great ideas.

[@numberplateguy8511]

The ability to it and lower the bed is a great idea with a lounge area underneath the bed I would put a bath where the fridge is and put a frame over it for seats when not in use etc

[@peacefreedom4930]

numberplate guy Where would you put the water tank that hold 100 gallons of water for a bath?

[@numberplateguy8511]

@@peacefreedom4930 I wouldn't carry the water I'd pay for hot water on the go so the bath would only be full of water at the point of having a bath etc then it would be empty and could be stored on its end or upside down anywhere in campervan during travelling or on the roof where people store their surf boards etc I'd just have an empty bath on the roof instead lol

[@markbunker5934]

Thank you for sharing. I took away a couple ideas.

[@pda4you]

The tours are great - thanks!

Nice, thanks for sharing. I did not know you could get a custom height trailer.

[@alternativehometours77]

I've seen cargo trailer specs up to 8.5 ft interior height

Phantom screen over back would be great to be able to open and have the back wall be all screen when open

I love how Troy and Cindy built out their trailer! Do they have a KZbin channel?

they do not have a channel

Love large fridge but wouldnt love opening doors to get into it for food......maybe you eat outside alltogether, with the water system.....l do like the bed adjusting alot.....

Awesome!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@mseifried5]

Very nice!

[@nenaduarte3406]

Beautiful made

[@jzt999]

I got the impression from what he said about loading the fridge that they don't full-time in this. True? It's more than enough for full-time for me.

[@alternativehometours77]

from what I understand, they are not full time at this point but hope to in a few years

[@loveu2222]

Love your trailer,🥓🥞🗽why do you have that much propane?😀

[@ReggieTime]

Is that a sheet of foil spread onto the wall? behind her in the kitchen?

[@TheKimerson]

Boy with that bed setup I hope you guys aren't drinkers. Very cool step setup though:)

[@VerissimusAurelius]

Dimensions....and weight please....nice build.

[@mds1986ms]

Why am i the only person ive seen so far to redo the door so its solid so it excepts a commercial grade knob and deadbolt. Then i mod'ed the orbar so i can pull pins out of the hinges for when we're stationary and it goes back on easily for truckin down the road. Seemed like a no brainer to me.

[@complementarychaos]

81/2 foot ceiling? This guys like 4 feet tall. Super cool trailer build, folks!

[@zedmak]

Great conversion, how much does it weight with all the stuff in it?

[@DUNEATV]

What do you do for heat?

[@mustangchaos8370]

Where u get the bed shelfs

[@randomstuffwithjoe]

I'm curious what size goal zero you are using that powers your fridge. I converted a cargo trailer over the winter and I'm considering a fridge. I have two 115AM marine batteries.. and currently they power the LED lights, vent fan, and TV. I use a small 60 solar suitcase to keep it charged, but two batteries is way overkill for what I currently use it for. I'm wondering if a fridge will force me to upgrade my solar panel kit or if I'll be fine as is.

[@alternativehometours77]

great question. I have the same Dometic fridge in my step van and it draws about 40 watts when compressor is running and pulls about 10% of my battery bank over night (I have 450 amp hours of lead acid). I would guess a goal zero would have a hard time powering it. maybe Troy and Cindy can answer that or someone else with that setup

[@cynthia2941]

Fabulous!!

[@alternativehometours77]

Those e-track board holders look like a great way to suspend a bed.

[@kriskoppy2753]

No clearance…. This is the main concern I have with these trailers.

[@truthercat9421]

Correction...this is an elevatED bed, NOT an elevator bed

[@rooster6271]

But It can go up and down... I like elevator bed

[@xraykadiddlehopper8067]

Should look for an electric bed out of a toy hauler. Raises and lowers with the push of a button. Goes to the ceiling when not needed and lowers down for sleeping. No ladder needed.
