Enclosed trailer build | Episode 4 | The walls

In this episode, I work on the walls and roof supports.

[@447Film]

Good job man. Real nice

[@rgsabat]

Appreciate it!

[@447Film]

@@rgsabat any chance you have a total cost?

[@michaelgcoleman471]

How difficult to make the side walls fold down on heavy duty hinges to expose the interior?

[@rgsabat]

It would be no more difficult than building the rear door. Definitely feasible.

[@thehellboy567]

How many feet would you say you used for the 2x1 tubes for walls and also the 2x2 tubes for the roof? I've been wanting to turn my flat bed into enclosed for awhile but your videos are the only help i can find for doing a conversion

[@rgsabat]

I bought 9 lengths (24') of 2"x1" and 3 lengths (24') of 2"x2"

[@jeffp7776]

@@rgsabat You mentioned the the 2x2 roof beams were 1/8" wall thickness but I was wondering what the wall thickness on the 2x1 wall studs is. Thank you looking great

[@rgsabat]

@@jeffp7776 1/8” as well for the wall studs.

[@ahowl7mx]

Have you considered adding structural foam sheathing to the outside of the framing?

[@rgsabat]

I don’t need the foam for what I use the trailer for, but it would be easy to add if someone wanted to.

[@seifomran2429]

I am planning to build one. What are some setbacks you have encountered and what things do you think can be improved?

[@rgsabat]

I wish I had build the frame a little lighter (I have a plasma, so I wish that I had cut out a pattern to lighten the 7" main beams). I also wish that I spent more time on making the front of the trailer more aerodynamic. Also, the 4'x8' overlapped roof sheets leak some water sometimes, despite the caulking (but that's not a big deal for me because almost everything is metal inside the trailer. Buying a one piece aluminum roof would be better. Good luck.

I’m gonna do one for my friend I want to start making them

[@documissionexploringknowle9513]

Hey did you ever make one?

[@RobertHarrisMIB]

I see all the i-beams and those are extremely heavy, you're talking 30 lb per beam? plus 50 for the long i beams and 40 for the cross sections what are you at like 600 lb already? at least?

[@rgsabat]

main c-channel beams are 9.8 lbs per foot, there are no i-beams. If I wanted a light weight trailer, I would have bought one already built from a random company. This is a 14k custom trailer built to haul heavy loads

[@brandjoshua1847]

Do you have a materials list?

[@meriemchanane1807]

Please can you give me the length, width and thickness of all the iron with which this cabin is made because I want to make one and thank you

[@rgsabat]

I used 7” C-channel for the main beams and tongue, 4” C-channel for the crossmembers, 2” x 1” rectangular tubing for the walls and 2” x 2” square tubing for the roof.

[@meriemchanane1807]

@@rgsabat thank you very match this well help me allot

[@scottc.mitchell778]

Why didn't you just use a nice heavy piano hinge for door

[@rgsabat]

I couldn't find one heavy duty enough to support the weight of my 5000 lbs off-road buggy.

[@eliascoria5418]

How tall is the trailer from the inside? I’m building a food trailer and wanted to get an idea

[@rgsabat]

92"

[@llspragulus]

Yeah Im also curious about the overall cost so far?

How do you make the documents for it trailer , I'm in europe and nobaby want to give documents for it. It will be good for SUA ,Rusia or Africa

[@rgsabat]

I don't know about Europe. I live in Canada and I was able to register a homemade trailer without any problems here. I can drive it throughout North America.

[@RobertHarrisMIB]

how heavy is that thing?!

[@rgsabat]

4500 empty when complete

[@robertmcmenamin5525]

Great videos, but you don't see you doing any work, welding, cutting.

[@dempseydoodles]

Do you have a cost breakdown? Like how much your materials cost you?
