Time to install the windows on Nikki's new 6 x 10 cargo trailer! It's not that difficult if you know how to measure twice and cut once... We'll show you how to take the measurements on the inside, transfer them to the outside and layout the lines for the cutout. We cut all the layers at once, i.e. outside skin, insulation and inside paneling. This would be the same procedure on a van or any other type of RV.
These windows are available here through Amazon:
12"x22" opening window with screen: amzn.to/2QbU2Aj
6' wide screen for back door: amzn.to/2Qh1Dd5

Howdy - it is really nice to see people doing projects with patience and planning without 10 minutes of repeating yourself jibber jabber, the throwing and dropping of tools and materials, and 10 second clips of 3 hours of work... I heard "silicone" mentioned. It seems that word has sneaked into our language to mean "sealant". There are proper sealants for use on the outside of vehicles that perform much better than hardware store "silicone" products. Great channel. Thanks

OMG..!!! You are the first builder I have seen who actually knows how to vapor barrier his trailer..!!! Smooth, moisture impenetrable insulation surface facing the interior, with a vapor barrier tape (aluminum tape) sealing the exposed joints.. 3 mil plastic roll sheeting over the insulation will also fair well if you can install it... This proper method prevents the interior moisture from passing through/behind the insulation and condensing on the cold metal surfaces creating rust & mildew.. This allows the moisture to remain inside the habitable/heated area, the same as any home, until you open passive/power vents to remove it.. BRAVO..!! LOL! Want to lessen interior moisture buildup..?? Stop Breathing..!! Estimating where the windows should be doesn't cut it... A scale plan should be drawn BEFORE windows are installed..

Today I installed the two windows in my 5x8. Vintage Technologies 14"x21" windows fit perfectly between the 16" center wall studs; opening is actually 14.5". I've done van windows/sunroofs in the 1970s and sailboat ports/hatches in the 1980s so this wasn't a total unknown. I made a template for the first one and the hole was a bit small. Second one I used the frame as the guide and it popped right in. The self tapping screws didn't like the window frames so I pre-drilled all the holes and then they zipped right in. Neoprene gaskets on the window frames but I also put silicone around the outside as there were small gaps at 3 places. Suddenly, it doesn't look like a cargo trailer anymore. Your video was a big help.

Nice work on the window install and your other projects, good methodical planning. I'm glad to see someone besides me using a jig saw with a fine tooth blade. So many other vids use a cutoff wheel which in my opinion throws sparks everywhere, is prone to slippage and leaves a rough jagged edge that can cut the the rubber seal but mostly, it just plain looks bad and amateurish. In my cargo trailer that I wanted to still have the option to use as a cargo trailer, I had to do a little more planning and go slower because I have three rows of E-track on the side walls. Low, 12 inches from the floor; mid height; and up high, 18 inches down from the roof. Which made installing insulation a lot slower!

Loved this video. I cracked up when you covered your eyes and said “here?” 😂😂. Nikki & Dusty’s trailer is so cool. It’s wonderful to have supportive parents. Whenever I mention the idea & dream of living nomadically, my dad says I want to be a bag lady & is very discouraging. Tells me I come up with crazy ideas. I know he means well & wants the best for me but I need ppl who will support me even if my lifestyle & dreams do not align with what they want me to be. Anyway, excited to see how their trailer turns out😊👍🏽

@gonagain 3 жыл бұрын
If you are interested in living nomadically I think you should try it. You can always go back to sticks and bricks whenever you want! Well, there is an exception... If a person sells a house and then spends the money on a new RV and uses the rest of the money to live on, then change their mind and want to go back, they have nothing to return to. If you decide to do it out-of-pocket, with a less expensive outfit (like a TON of people have done), then you can pull it off easily. I say follow your dreams.

Gonagain Thank you!😊Yes, that’s exactly what I want to do! I own a home & my son is in college. He graduates in 2022. My plan is to take an intermittent retirement for one year & live on the road. I don’t want debt so I’m currently saving for one year of expenses on the road & I plan to buy a minivan & configure it to live in. This is why my parents think I want to be a “bum.” They simply do not get it. 😔 My dad says I should keep working so I’ll have a decent retirement. He worked until he was 65. Now that he’s retired, he can’t really do anything because of health issues. My parents stay in the house glued to the news all day. That’s not a life I want to live. I don’t even watch television 😃

Hello again Gonagain nice to see you once more. I am still back and forth on windows. Back around 1986 87 I had a bear claw my trailer if I would have had a window he would have gone for it. Now if he would have made it in it would have been the last thing he did but I'm just not sure. I know that a few other people that had RV's out there and the bears did get in at the windows. We hope your tomorrow is better than your today.

Nice Job.... I am in the process of converting an 8x16 v-nose cargo trailer into an RV and Mobile Sign Shop. I am just starting the walls and cabinets construction. I just sold a 15-passenger shuttle bus that I lived in for 3 years and traveled out west during the winters. I had to sell the shuttle bus because I purchased a large format color printer to make contour cut decals/stickers, koozies, t-shirts, magnetics, banners, mousepads, etc. The large format color printer would have taken up a lot of storage space so I needed to get something bigger. I did a complete conversion series on the shuttle bus from the ground up and now am doing a new series on the cargo trailer conversion. They are on my YT channel.

As always you have a great deal of influence on decisions being made in regard to my 7x16 enclosed. I guess that means you have elevated to "Influencer" status from just a prolific and practical KZbinr. I have the windows and I have the tools on hand (really need to get a new corded jig/sabre saw) to begin surgery on the side walls and the personnel door. My question is what type of blade did/do you use in cutting the opening for the window? A metal or close tooth wood blade? Also, I will be cutting thru one 1 x 1 1/2 rectangular steel tube frame upright as the wall windows are 15x24 horizontal and a 15x24 vertical for the door. I will be so glad to see some progress on mine as opposed to the acquisition phase of items and parts. Thanks and happy trails.
@gonagain

I was using a high quality metal cutting blade that was the longest one I could get. Make sure you have a few on hand before you begin. On my steel cargo trailer I also remember resorting to the Sawzall to get through the steel supports, but a saber saw will do it with the extra blades on hand. Like I mentioned in the video, don't push the saw along or the blade will wonder off course and ruin the cut. Go easy.

Good job , i was thinking what if any do you have for safety from electric or other fires, because we had to get some friends out of their trailer when it ought fire while they were asleep, and they only had one door and the fire shut that escape off and their windows were to small to get out of so the only way to get them out a was cut them out with a axe to the wall big enough to get them out of the burning trailer...

I want the trailer to have the same width footprint as the tow vehicle of choice.

OK... I'm ABOUT to make my first cut. into my trailer's skin! 🙁 But, before I do may I ask you one more question please? Should I cut the 15"(15"x24" window) wide part of the hole right in the middle of the 24" On-centers leaving 4.5" gap on each side? Or, cut closer to one of the 1" frame rails to support the one side? How did you do it? Looks like u cut right in the middle. That being the case, did you have to make wood supports around the frame of the window or just used the plywood as support? I would gladly pay you (or anyone) that helps me! Thank you! Art
@gonagain
@gonagain 3 жыл бұрын
Hello Art, happy to help. You'll see that we also cut through the 1/2 inch interior paneling and that's what gives the window the necessary support without having to add any additional wood. And, yes, it just happens to be right in the middle in this case. With the foam sandwiched in between it's plenty stiff enough.

thanks for sharing this, If you have thicker walls, could you not make this work by using larger screws? obviously there would be a little extra gap between the window trim and the window frame... Also, will you be putting cladding on the OSB? if you did put cladding on, I'm assuming you would put the window trim on the outside of that...??

@gonagain

Hi Craig. My trailer is a Stealth brand and is well made. I bought it lightly used so I'm not sure what a new one costs. There are some Facebook pages and online forums that talk about the different brands and what they're like. Mostly, when you go to look a one on the lot, you can see if it's any good or not, but by researching that brand before you go you should find reviews about it.

There seems to be a debate that some kind of framing needs to be put when doing windows. Whether that be a 2x1 or something on the inside. Question I have is, did you do that or think you might need to? And what did you do with bigger windows such as a 2x4' or something (if you ever did that)
@gonagain
@gonagain 4 ай бұрын
I wouldn't put any wood in the wall because of the possible condensation and rot, but I've seen where people have welded in extra framework to make the wall more solid when installing larger windows. If you cut a vertical frame, then you would install a horizontal piece to tie the cut ends together, like framing around a house window. It's one of the main reasons we went with these small windows because we didn't have to cut any framing. Others have said that if you're only cutting one vertical frame it's no big deal. Whatever you do, don't use wood.
