6'x10' Cargo Trailer Camper - Lots of room!

[@loyd3theMightyMiniCamper]

Thanks for sharing details of how you share a small space. Yay, simplicity! Happy travels!

[@jimihendrix8535]

I have seen over the years the evolution of it and some refurbishment and upgrades (new paint, etc.). It works well.

[@gonagain]

Nice to hear from you! Thank you for sticking with us for all this time.

[@markreynolds3850]

Rick , when I was in the Navy we had folding canvas bunks onboard ship on fleet tug. I guess there similar. Thanks for sharing this video.😊

[@robertgullickson8758]

Good idea with the fan and windows. It pulls “all kinds” of air 😅 That’s a really great setup Rick and Linda. We’re considering converting my 7x12 tool trailer now that I’m retired.

[@gonagain]

I also use the fan to take any cooking smells out. ~~Linda

[@TheOffroadCamper]

Our 1969 Ford Econoline pop top camper by TEC had the exact same cot design in the pop-up portion for additional sleeping. Other than some very old maritime ships, I’ve never seen it anywhere else.

[@gonagain]

We're sailors from waaaay back in our younger years.

[@rogertemple7193]

You and Linda have a really nice cargo trailer camper for traveling around the countryside in it is enough for two people and it is an awesome camper for traveling with have a great weekend take care and thank you Rick and Linda.🚐🇺🇲🚛

[@gonagain]

Thank you Roger!

[@ADONAIsays-so]

Thanks for sharing this great set up with us. I wish I could convince DW to try a rig li!e y'all's! I look forward to the follow up vids. Stay safe.

[@gonagain]

Stayed tuned! There's more coming!

[@applesbighatranch6906]

My 5' X 10' floorplan is more like a squaredrop - galley aft, bunk forward, but I've been pondering how best to preserve some convertibility of at least half the bunk into itself in order to have some lounge space. As usual, the timing of your videos are spot on! Thank you so much, Rick. Say hi! to Linda. Cheers!

[@Steve-Goff]

I’ll take function over looks any day. I do like the folding bed you did in your daughter’s trailer a few years ago.

[@explorer867]

Rick, you and Linda have a really great setup. Enjoy your week.

[@gonagain]

Thanks 👍

[@alanosborne1947]

When me and the wife were still tent camping I set up good quality military cots and they were very COMFORTABLE! Only problem is my wife was not happy about us sleeping in our own bed/cot and wanted to be sleeping with me. I ended up buying a good quality air mattress so we could sleep together. We used that mattress for years when it finally gave it up. I finally built a bed frame with a queen size mattress in our CTC and the wife is very HAPPY now!!

[@gonagain]

It's a process isn't it? Glad to hear you're sleeping comfortably.

[@realmicrobet]

Love the pipe berth beds.

[@gonagain]

They're very comfortable, bettwr than our bed at home!

[@freeandhappy8562]

I've always loved the way your trailer is set up! Practical Simplicity at its best! Great video Rick!

[@gonagain]

Thanks 👍

[@CITAP1]

Cosey and comfy, functional.

[@gonagain]

Exactly! Thanks, Jeff.

[@wandacraig8286]

I've watched the evolution of your cargo trailer and it's the best! And who needs granite countertops, just a lot of unnecessary weight! I did find a built out cargo trailer here in Whitefish a few months ago for really reasonable, but just felt like it would have been to much for me to handle on my own. But oh was I tempted! So I'll just enjoy watching the two of you enjoy yours❤

[@gonagain]

We just took it for a test tow yesterday behind our new acquisition, a slightly used Chevy pickup. It went really well!

[@sarah_n_tank_girl]

Part of the reason I have a cargo trailer is because of you two and Lex...so much of my build is based off your build videos (windows, solar, heat). I love going over the thought process into your systems...sends my brain off on its own tangents!

[@gonagain]

Thank you! Visit Linda on her IG, mrsgonagain.

[@julieholien3681]

I like your floor plan the best out of alot of videos ive seen. Thank you for showing us.

[@jamsessionrecordshop8872]

Great video Rick!

[@gonagain]

Thanks!

[@cetifoxproductions]

I can definitely testify to the benefits of the pipe berths. Based on your original video on them, we did something similar for our 6x10. Because I teach scuba classes out of it, we have a LOT more constraints--permanently mounted air compressor, racks & shelves for training gear, scuba tanks cargo strapped to the wall. We don't have a side door, which is both a blessing and curse. The blessing is that it gives us more wall space for shelves. The curse is that we have no choice but to enter/exit through the back. This, of course, prohibits semi-permanently setting up pipe berths. BUT, by placing mounts towards the back and towards the front (basically flanking either side of the air compressor along the wall) we can easily setup the two berths at night. And, yes, they are VERY comfy. I've even slept comfortably with two of our dachshunds in bed with me! Anyway, in the mornings we just take the berths out of the mounts, roll them up and they tuck nicely against the wall behind the air compressor--out of sight, out of mind.

[@gonagain]

Sounds like a nice set up!

[@bryanschwertner3585]

Really like that setup. However, I need an enclosure for my “business”. But I believe it can still be done but maybe a 6x12 or 14 would be more my style. But your trailer is absolutely awesome!!! Take care!

[@williamrandall6472]

Sweet layout there Rick

[@ex-engineer6657]

YT froze up at :30 seconds, had to finish watching after reboot. I've built 2 trailers in the past 24 years, and we lived in a 21ft 1970 Pace Arrow class A, 3 episodes separated by years. Now i have looked into 10 and 12 ft long, for my next Nomad rig, but I'm no going to build it from the ground up. I'm 6'2" and want more room to stretch out, so width is important for a transverse bed, maybe I'll put in a small slide out for my big feet. 😮 Mahalo nui, Aloha.

[@jimv.661]

I look forward to having you go over the choices and what-not's of your trailer again.

[@gonagain]

Thanks Jim. You doing any hunting this year?

[@jimv.661]

@@gonagain Just loading the truck to go deer hunting. Our season runs from 11/16 to 11/24. Rifle that is. I don't do any harpooning. How about you?

[@gonagain]

No hunting this year. We haven't gone in a few years now, just too busy with other things and family gives us elk meat each year. Good luck to ya.

[@dianaj3139]

I really love everything you set up in this trailer, it works well for the type of off-road camping you enjoy! I like watching channels that hit the road using a variety of different camping, including car camping all the way up to the super luxury... Staying in a budget can be challenging but there is also an ART to it that I enjoy watching. You and Linda are in my top 3 favorites, mostly because you are so good at describing areas you visit including the History. I can tell you really are very curious and love looking around a lot!

[@gonagain]

I like to look at all the different rigs too! Thanks for the compliment.

[@Cycletroll]

Great design evolution! Thanks for sharing!

[@Perry3377]

Well done Rick..

[@chigarastone8462]

Cool idea to make your sofa

[@gonagain]

It's comfy and cozy for those days when we need to stay inside.

[@robotica6089]

I love the aesthetics. Great color scheme. I might adopt some of your ideas!

[@gonagain]

Go for it! Thanks for watching our videos!

[@corrinebrackney7679]

Great trailer, great practicality!! We are new to Montana (3yrs) have enjoyed all your videos, but especially where we can roam here! Always enjoy your family, you & your wife are adorable.

[@gonagain]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@stevec2665]

You guys are so creative!!

[@chigarastone8462]

We love our conversion too tho we’re saving it right now as a back up to our Ember

[@cotter9751]

Appreciate this tour and a reminder of the great features in your trailer. Thanks!

[@timkeenan306]

Hi Rick it's been awhile, I always enjoy your upgrades and I made pipe berth beds also, definitely a pad for the comfort and keep the cool out ! Thanks for sharing and have a great day !

[@raymonddriggers]

Top notch entertainment!

[@skyepilotte11]

Nice set up for a 6 x 10...thx

[@gonagain]

You betcha!

[@gsp49]

Thanks Rick, I'm about to get a trailer like that, double doors in rear, single axle. Plans for kitchenette in the nose.

[@gonagain]

Let us know how your progress goes.

[@i70show]

just dial in for two ! enjoyed !

[@stevertherver3887]

Great review of your trailer Rick. We hope all is well in your family! My Friday morning coffee wouldn't be the same without Gonagain!!

[@gonagain]

Thanks 👍 We're all okay, no worries there.

[@GypsyJvan]

thanks, rick...

[@gonagain]

Thank you!

[@owenrae]

really appreciate the details on your camper build. Looking forward to the series of putting it all together.

[@gonagain]

Thanks for watching!

[@lawdog516]

Very nice setup, great engineering

[@valeriefrench9405]

Yaaay I’ve been waiting to see this

[@kennethalmond8922]

Yes sir, you've refined to a nice setup. We're starting our 4th year in our 7 x 14 cargo -> camper and we're almost there. We're still fooling with things such as netting to hold bedroom stuff in place during travel and upgraded our AC since we LOVE our k-cup. It's been a great hobby for the both of us and so much fun to adjust and try things along with getting out and seeing the country side. Look forward to mounting things outside details - I especially would like to do 1 or even 2x 5gal gas can. We're in Southern Oregon and are getting ready to try some 7 day trips which puts us in range of getting to Montana and maybe we'll see you as we pass on the highway :)

[@gonagain]

Wave at us if you see us! Or come over and say hello.

[@vannemocilac274]

I just bought a used but insulated 5x8 cargo trailer with a side door and ramp door because of you and Lex&Riot and Bob Wells. I’m towing with a 4Runner and didn’t want too big of a trailer. I have a hitch extension that I’m hoping will make backing up easier. I was wondering since I’m 5’4” if I could make it sleeping diagonally if I made the pipe berth a little wider! Yes!

[@gonagain]

You have a nice outfit! For a single person a 5X8' can be very nice.

[@chigarastone8462]

We tryed to build pipe bed but got wrong size pipe so used the pipe to build our kitchen area instead

[@GraceCook-g1l]

Great video Rick. Love that your camper is so versatile. You didn't mention the foldaway table. Was that a plain cargo trailer or did it have some things in place to work with? Windows, etc?

[@gonagain]

We have videos on the table and how we instaʻled the windows. We had our cargo trailer and used it for hauling a 2-up ATV, then did the conversion to camper when we got rid of the ATV.

[@peterdement]

Where do you store two heavy ebikes?

[@gonagain]

We had a carrier on the back of the trailer for the ebike.

[@jacklandismcgowan1413]

Looking forward to more videos on the trailer. What is your loaded weight of the trailer? Thanks in advance.😎

[@gonagain]

Fully loaded (for us) our trailer weighs 2360lbs.

[@jacklandismcgowan1413]

[@ronaldpalmer3246]

hi. like to meet ya at Quartzite i’m camping in Magic circle area. but i’m going to RTR today monday

[@gonagain]

Hi! Sorry we didn't get to meet you. We hid out from the wind and cold after the weekend then moved east as we had planned. Maybe we'll see you down the road somewhere.

[@lambo_and_doc]

Sometimes less is best.

[@tlnelson7598]

The bedding canvas, what wieght of canvas did you use? I'm thinking of ditching the foam matress for a pipe berth.

[@gonagain]

You won't regret it. We're using 10oz.

[@gnosticbaseball]

Does it fit in a standard garage?

[@gonagain]

My trailer is too tall for our garage.

[@boscodog4358]

I have a 7x14. I'm self contained. Solar power. Refrigerator and AC Hula Hoop shower I just use a roll away bed. I haul my motorcycle I call it a. "Poor man's RV I'm considering selling it. I am totally by. Myself. Thinking about slowing down. Don't really know what I want to do

[@gonagain]

The price of gas is coming down a bit so maybe plan a little trip? Don't slow down yet!

[@patrickmckowen2999]

[@robertottwell605]

I always knew they were transformers.

[@jj-eo7bj]

Do you use sheet metal screws to screw into the frame and if so what size

[@gonagain]

For the bunks, first I fastened half inch ply to the walls that went down to the floor to carry the load to the floor, then I fastened the wood for the pipe berths to the plywood. Here's the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHjaqmqHYtVrd8ksi=zWseeD95Br-jA5vx

[@morphergaming0531]

I just don't care to spend extra gas to carry slabs of granite countertops around along with every other bell and whistle

[@leeinwis]

My 8x10 prison cell was bigger.

[@gonagain]

But you didn't tow it down 4x4 roads.

[@OttoMatieque]

I have a family of 4 and we have taken multi-month trips in a 6x12 trailer. I stole your pipeberth idea.

[@gonagain]

Great! It's amazing how much you can do with a small space if you think differently than most.
