Check Out Anthony's Converted Cargo Trailer Camper!

[@jamespruett2849]

Someone is going to be busy when they get home lol

[@oldpap1401]

I have watched about a million (maybe hundred) cargo trailer conversion videos, and this is one of my favorites. Great job Anthony!

[@justmona9647]

It's a great job!!🎉

[@LilyBecca]

I have watched 100's of them too, and this is one of the best. I have come to the conclusion that the #1 requirement I would have is a hydraulic bed. A Murphy style bed would be my 2nd choice. It's really surprising to me how hard it is to find a cargo trailer conversion that I like compared to finding camper van conversions that I like.

[@christianjensen3182]

That bed/sofa hardware is uber slick!!

[@billyo35loosmore]

I’d like to know if that sofa/bed unit is a purchase or a build?

[@jnjenkins]

Me too!

[@lennyherman8923]

Great build, I really like how you utilized the outside of your trailer

[@xmavrick]

Anthony you did an awesome job and I am sure a lot of great ideas will be copied! Thanks for sharing and thank you Rick and Linda for posting this fantastic build!

[@mr.waynes7555]

this man is a builder of durability, and quality......I LOVE IT!

[@gonagain]

Thank you, Wayne!

[@youcanthide004]

I love your build man super super clean, everything is high-end. And most of all you over engineered everything that’s exactly what I do. Love it.💪🏼

[@JosephKerns-kt1nr]

Any chance of finding out where he found the brackets for the couchbed? Thanks for the great walk through!

[@applesbighatranch6906]

I'm just 21 minutes into this video and had to post my sentiments about a couple of things. 1. Those bed-to-couch brackets! wow. WANT. 2. Cargo-to-camper trailer conversions are so danged cool. As you know I'm in the middle of doing one myself and seeing stuff like this continues to motivate me. Thanks Rick, Linda and Anthony! Now, back to the vid.

[@gonagain]

You're the exact type of person that this video was aimed at! I'm glad that you got something useful out of it.

[@ahowl7mx]

That shower/casset toilet combo is fantastic!

[@corey-]

That in floor storage would be a great way to put in a shower that you could hide away when not in use

[@wiresbringit]

Bingo! A 20L (5 Gallon) Sea to Summit Collapsible Kitchen Sink and a KEDSUM Portable Camp Shower would hide away perfectly. I use it with a 5 gallon bucket and the sink for more sink like things as the summit sink is wider so it would get shallow sooner and so run out of water flow faster but it would still work well! With the sprayer instead of the shower head I only use about 3 gallons anyway because it's not constantly pumping.

[@jimihendrix8535]

I just special ordered a new 6x12 x 6.6 (height) Wells Cargo single axle cargo trailer today. This video has some good ideas for my build. Thanks for posting.

[@gonagain]

Enjoy your build!

[@jimihendrix8535]

Thank you @@gonagain

[@morphergaming0531]

Wow, Anthony, fantastic fabrication of the brackets and especially the ladder. You ended up with a far superior components that what you would have purchased. Managed to design a lot of living space and cargo space out of a 6×12, perfect.

[@kellythompson4432]

Ditto on wanting the bed to couch. Did he order them? Beginning plans to build out a cargo trailer with 22 yr old son.

[@chrislincoln489]

Outside was very nice. I want to make that table also. The inside seems to have a lot of I'm gonta going on. Hope we can see it again when he is finished.

[@rendezvous5784]

The guy does quality work for sure. I think Linda has gotten many ideas... lol Another great show, thanks for sharing!

[@Steve-Goff]

Wow. Absolutely incredible. That in-floor storage is ingenious.

[@freeandhappy8562]

Nice build. Some very innovative ideas. Thanks for sharing!

[@fernandobatas7914]

I'm in the process of converting a 6x14, just about finished with insulation. Just like a bunch have already commented... this is Top 5 video from hundreds of what I've seen. 3 ideas I'm going to use from his...floor storage, storage/tool bins on the exterior walls and the hatch air intake for the A/C. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@gonagain]

Go for it! Share this video with your friends. Thanks for watching.

[@homemaker4117]

Wow, this fellow really thought things through! Really really impressive. Of course we all know that by now you two are talking about what you are going to use from this. That air conditioner would be top of my list but then I don't like the heat. Anyway, this was so interesting. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful weekend.

[@gonagain]

After this last trip down to Florida we can now see why air conditioning is so important to some folks!

[@deuce1606]

I have heard of people running a mini split with a solar setup but have not researched it yet.

[@wiresbringit]

​@@deuce1606That's this awesome video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnvOYn9rjK16qtk One of the units manufacturers said the condenser can be mounted horizontal so it can be mounted under the trailer, hidden and out of the way!

[@ToddOutdoor]

Nice build and Rick you will have a list for sure, 😊 and to see Linda grow and now interviewing others is a great help to the channel in my opinion.

[@gonagain]

It's fun to do interviews like this one.

[@CollinsL]

My wife and I always enjoy your videos.

[@gonagain]

Glad to hear it, thank you!

[@paulhunter546]

Wow..very cool rig ! You & Anthony gave a great tour..very detailed 👍 I really like that bed/couch..if I do another build or update mine I'd definitely go that way ! Yep Rick.. you're gonna be busy..lol.

[@wanderlust62]

Time...1500-1507, I was thinking the same thing! She's already upgrading your trailer! Good luck with that!😂🤣😂 Whoa, when that smaller portion of the bed FLIPPED to a sofa back, my mouth dropped. Brilliant innovation with the build, I would love to see a tour when it is finished!

[@scenicdriveways6708]

Pretty cool cargo trailer Rick. Looks like the beds mounted on the wall will give him a lot of floor space. JT

[@WilliamWebber-wn3zu]

He did a great job on his trailer. Thanks for sharing.

[@tonyd6884]

Very nice cargo camper lots of great ideas and I definitely will not let my wife see this😂

[@gonagain]

😁

[@youcanthide004]

Great build, I love the fact that he over engineered it. Super heavy duty awesome man.

[@trumer-and-co]

Very nice build. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@aztrails1]

Outstanding job on the rig. Thanks for sharing.

[@JBLynch]

Those Florida rainstorms will be soothing in this setup. We just got back from a camping trip in our 6x10 cargo trailer. Cozy and a great way to escape the Florida heat.

[@billangelo2190]

Not just a great camper also a great guy. I want some day to enjoy a full time life style and freedom but meeting folks like y'all, being neighbors for a moment is what I look forward to the most. Take Care and Safe Travels.

[@philipwalters5254]

Seen many cargo conversion. Some great ideas.. I am going to build ultra light 14x7 at 2000 lbs dry

[@BernieKathie]

I think he must have forgotten about the weight factor with this build and he isn’t even finished.

[@williamwhite1596]

Very nice work ! God Bless !!!

[@eutimiochavez415]

Great cargo trailer ,but it looks like u are going to be busy when u get back to Montana thank you for posting,glad to have you back we missed you folks!

[@johndeno562]

Looks like it's going to be a busy winter for you Rick. Like that guys build on that trailer.

[@carmenmarcinkiewicz7149]

There are so many fabulous ideas in this build!! Thank you for sharing!

[@sasquatch885]

Very nice build!

[@bryanmathew2079]

Yes, SLow Down & Enjoy the Journey that will Be my Motto.

[@ralphp3057]

Looks like Anthony has been busy ! Nice job on his RV build ! Thanks for sharing Rick & Linda! 👍😁

[@rickw6521]

Nice set up if you are going to stay on black top. When i did mine i made a complete plan before i started. So everything was hidden behind the insulated walls and ceiling. Mine is also winter ready. with heater in door bath room, 2 burner cook stove as well. And i still use this as a cargo trailer and for ice fishing. Yes i take it on the ice and fish from the inside so i don't have to freeze my but off lol.

[@paulgordon9648]

You're in trouble now Boy. You better get to those upgrades, soon. And when you least don't know it. Life Is Good.

[@alexanderweaver7066]

Where was Anthony when I was DIYing my van interior? His trailer is filled with awesome innovations. He could start a new career in building these toy haulers. That is my goal to add a toy hauler to my van. I plan to pick up a small 4X4 ATV or UTV. I have a GMC Savana 2500 with the Vortec V8 and my gas mileage averages between 12 and 13mpg. Adding a trailer will surely impact my fuel mileage. It's the price you pay to have fun.

[@vester681]

Great video, nice camper build, have a blessed day.

[@gonagain]

Thanks 👍

[@scottmcfarland2149]

Great video! Great new ideas! Of course more $$ for more convenience. Things to consider for sure. 🐾🙏🏻✌🏻🤙🏻

[@frankkeiser1434]

Fantastic job, love all the exterior goodies. I will definitely use the hot water set up. thank you for the info.

[@vanwhalen3719]

Fantastic Build! Fantastic Guy! And a Fantastic Video!

[@tony-kj5mc]

Wow nice Job Anthony , My Name is Anthony Also and I like you rig .Nice job !!!

[@sarahmoore3831]

Great job with your interview 😊 Linda

[@gonagain]

Thanks so much!

[@jodyseaman1885]

Wow, this is one of the best build outs I have ever seen. Where did he find those beds? He has really put in a lot of convenience and safety items. But best of all was Linda, I could hear the wheels turning. At this point Rick you can only pray that your daughters don't see this video too.

[@bser2293]

Very nice build. This has given me several ideas.

[@vanwhalen3719]

I really like this one! I’m currently building out a 6 by 12

[@gonagain]

Anthony has a great build, we liked it a lot too.

[@wrxs1781]

Good build with a great deal of thought behind it. Now Rick you must realize the wheels are now turning with Linda, this might have been an expensive visit.

[@gonagain]

Oh yeah...

[@pnwusa]

great job building out your trailer anthony! ingenious design. excellent craftsmanship. super nice share linda and rick. travel mercies and continued blessings.🕊

[@gonagain]

Thank you very much!

I am afraid of this man. I love it

[@bradmason8334]

[@ChuckisOutside]

Thanks for sharing this trailer video. Lots of great ideas.

[@sslcfc]

Great Rig. Anthony has some talent in fabrication. Nice Job!

[@ralphrehmjr.3003]

Greetings-well Rick you hit a home run on your decision to invite Anthony on for a guest interview WOW-!!! just AMAZING-!!! this video will see Anthony’s new Fabricating & Custom Designed RV’s Incorporated HaHa hope your ready-!!! and the only disappointment was when Linda found the trap door you know like Linda referenced about old “Westerners” they always had a escape door under the rug I was thinking now how did he do it only to find it lead to the tanks oh well-Thanks so much for your hard work and sharing it with us. Blessings-!!! Ralph👍

[@bryanmathew2079]

Ya it was funny when Linda Tested the Carrying Capacity, Lol it CertainLy HoLds the Goods😅!.

[@joangosselin]

Hi Guys, great video of Anthony's cargo trailer. Could you please ask him where we could get the foldable couches/beds that fold up against the walls. We've been looking for the exact thing. Thanks and thank Anthony too! He did a great job converting his cargo trailer!

[@gonagain]

You can find different ones online if you search for jack knife sofa or jack knife bed. They're made for RV's.

[@joangosselin]

@@gonagain Awesome, thank you for the information. :) Safe travels to you both!

[@Three_D]

Great video, I've been inspired tremendously

[@FirstSuiGeneris]

Super nice! Nicely executed on the design!

[@williamolliges2622]

Well the outside storage boxes have me thinking. Right now alotta setup stuff is, well stuffed into a 27 gallon black and yellow tote. Jack stands, leveling blocks, and 30 amp cord would all be easier access. Hmm. There’s also a few scratches from the PO that’d be nice to cover up.

[@missychan63]

My son has a Trash-A-Roo on the back of his Rover, and every time I see it I giggle. It's a great idea- especially when you're traveling with a dog who can't keep her nose in her own business😅. I'm definitely adding one to my rig when I hit the road.

[@MC-cl9ip]

We also live in central FL and have a similar project in mind. Anthony: Can you tell us where you got those beds and the bathroom kit please?

[@Tripsolo65]

Really slick rig! He could easily solve his rain in a/c exhaust problem by removing the hatch and placing a piece of window screen between the trailer and hatch as he reinstalls it.

[@Tripsolo65]

@Gonagain-pg4ek sure thing, how may I help? How may I contact you or you I? Are you going to tell me y’all found Bigfoot in Florida? Also, after I found out that Itehil didn’t make 400w foldable panels, I did some research and found some I think you’ll like. They are slick. They are made by Light Harvest Solar

[@Dachshund-Nator]

Very very nice! We’ll be getting our 6X12 cargo trailer soon, and we planned on having our toilet and shower run East to West across the front of the trailer. After seeing this video, I might rethink that. This guy does excellent work, and has used his space wisely. I would like to know if his trailer is Polycor siding, it sure looked great! We’re getting a flat nose so we can use the tongue for 2 propane bottles. We ordered the trailer with no ramp or doors on the back, and will have a large egress window back there, 3 windows, and a fourth window in a 36” rv style door, with a screen door so we should have plenty of natural light and fresh air. Thanks for making this excellent video … the more I watch these videos the more good ideas I get. 👍

[@williamsuttle3645]

I like that trailer.

[@eugenioguerra5958]

I like it, very simple and practical. Good job man

[@jeffreygraf3358]

Great build! Only problem is he's going to need high power stackable 48v lithium Iron phosphate batteries to power an AC unit off grid.

[@thunder19301]

Very nice trailer 👍👍

[@annhysell6064]

Super cool!! So much engineering. Mom wants to get on my sailboat now and not into the camper b/c there are so many systems to monitor. Well built Anthony! Your process is so much like my dad's. (He somehow figured it out while he was sleeping) after a long day as the Leader building substations (his kids were the crew at home ) Love the design. Thanks so much for sharing as usual. Be well.

[@cbow7961]

This was hard at times to understand what Anthony was saying - but a very informative video. He has some awesome ideas!! Thank YOU!!

[@skyepilotte11]

Very nice construction Anthony. Never mentioned weight...looks heavy.

I love everything about this build with one caveat. Where is the headroom for the kitchen? What a beautiful piece of work!!! Anthony you are an awesome craftsman.

[@cargotrailerkenny]

The big question for us budget builders is how much $? Given one has the time the money and the tools one can get as cute as they want when building out these cargo trailers.

[@johnfarthing6174]

Even on a budget it can get expensive! I’m at about $20k on mine. It’s a 7x16, double axle. That total includes the trailer as well. You have to keep in mind that it’s built in most cases better than a traditional camper and it’s built and customised by yourself. I finished mine last August and I’m going to post a walk through video once I complete the solar panels.

[@johnkuiper8907]

All some build !!!

[@reidcrosby6241]

Brake addition is GOOD. I usually purchase adapter to match tow vehicle bolt pattern. He has generated a LOT if wind turbulance/drag. Jacks should be INSIDE trailer corners (becomes anti theft). The back corners can bolstered and reinforced with alum skidplate that protects the light frame that is easily bent if bottomed out. .

[@gonagain]

Thank you!

[@reidcrosby6241]

@@gonagain on the skid plate have a custom bend from edge to edge width wise and have it bent in a U shape to capture both the back frame channel (usually below rear door will be visible as channel terminated near door frame) and have it run to second frame cross brace and terminate at plywood floor at top of that cross brace. At rear aluminum skin I use Dymonic sealant and use a counter sinking (flush) stainless machine screw to pull it tight to aluminum skin and squeeze out sealant. I predrill and use a self tapping torx to establish threads for the stainless as stainless is soft and can't cut threads. This also enables ypu to have a mounting point for rear internal leveling AND anti theft jacks (only accessible from INSIDE the trailer. I am also an advocate for a custom removable tongue so it can't be towed away if left somewhere unattended. Basically would be criminal would we so frustrated they'd likely just burn it to the ground because they can't steal it. Lol.

[@tia2677]

Could Anthony please share the brand of toilet and holding tank he has. We are interested in adding it to our converted trailer as well. Thanks! Nice build btw!!
