Looks fantastic! I have a tiny trailer too and you are doing a great job. You know one thing I wanted to mention is that in Europe they are absolute masters of the 'extended experience' so lots of awning/tented spaces that allow everything from rooftop sleeping to showering outside...etc. One small travel trailer in their hands becomes like a 1000 square foot home when they are done tenting up and unfolding everything...I felt ridiculous in my one person tent when I camped there. At any rate...they are absolutely fascinating and well worth looking at/drooling over.

you should put your logo on the back for sure, trailer looks great, nearly time for a road trip. we've had a heatwave over here, hottest it's been for 40 years, over a month with no rain, your trailer would look sweet going down the wild atlantic way drive.

Just need to find the right logo outfit that can make one that is really UV resistant. From my research most all the decal places 'say' their decals are UV resistant but when I see them on vehicles, some look great and some look sun burnt... defintiely dont want the logo getting all faded or burnt after a year in our weather...lol

Silver Grizzly homesteadonomics well another tidbit for those nomading or just cargo safety, put something on them. People don't trust nondescript vehicles and they garner much curiosity. I personally wonder what's going on and make a point of watching and avoiding any vehicle I can be snatched into. It doesn't matter what it says, people just register some association and feel less threatened resulting in loss of interest. You could write "Grandma eats butt" and they'll assume it's a bakery delivery van or something akin..😏 It's our messed up society but IMPORTANT for many reasons.. God bless

Dude, how about a tire with a dense foam donut with a round outer surface that has a notch towards the wheel hub where you place a Kevlar inner tube filled with nitrogen that when inflated fills the notch in the dense foam pushing it outwards to make the tire become ridged. You now have a trailer tire that can take nails and sharp rocks. No worries about having a flat on your trailer. 😊😉

At least right now your top isn't leaking like mine is. We didn't know it up a couple of kids got mad @ my daughter & took an axe to the roof. Now we have to replace EVERYTHING CEILING, LIGHT FIXTURES, CABINETS, & WALLS. I'm just sick about the whole thing. We might as well stripe it & start all over. The stove, sink, bathroom things are all ok. Would you like to help some disabled folks from Missouri out? Let me know, I don't care if you video tape the whole thing. We don't have much. But I can make a mean chicken & noodle & pie... lol... jk... Your doing a great job. You should be proud, Chris from Missouri

homesteadonomics door is always open.. But you do have to give me about 4 hours notice, bc that's how long I cook my chicken down for. You can't rush good chicken & noodles. All hand raised & homemade noodles. But I'll go get a good pie while the chicken is making the best stock in MO. I'll even butcher the chicken from the back yard. No growth hormones @ this house... lol... or antibiotics. It's FRESH!!!.... I'm only 1/2 mile from the airport to. I will ask you to do one thing I had to do as a child grown up when we killed my grandparents chickens & that's pluck them. Oh I hated that job & it stunk... lol... But I have to take on the other jobs they done. Kill, butcher, & freeze the chickens. But like I said Doors always open. Who knows after I tell your wife are 2 very sad stories, she might say yes to help us... lol... It's all good exspecily the fried chicken. Yum yum...

Dude, Design a small solar vacuum tube water heater system retrofited to super heat a gallium alloy. Place insulated pipes and use an electromagnetic pump to pump super heated gallium alloy through a copper heat exchange coil inverted inside an insulated water tank. Placed above the main galluim resivor so the gallium alloy can drain back out of all the pipes ounce the sun go's down. Then you could even circulate the super heated gallium alloy through thermal electric generators to charge up an organic carbon power cell bank. You might be able to use a large Peltier module to rig up an air conditioning system and even operate a refrigerator off the system during the day then off your organic carbon power cell bank at night. 😯😊😉

It seems you have forgotten your wiring for a lighted license plate bracket. In the wheel wells, (from inside), I'd spray everything with rubberized undercoating. 2 layers everywhere along the edges. It makes for a great seam sealer and kills any issues with condensation on the inside of the steel fender.

I actually have a tail light that has a license plate light.. that will either go on the bumper (deciding still if I will make one) or the low side. It's powered by the running/tail wire. No specific wire for just a license plate light. I do like the idea of the rubber undercoating spray though.. thanks Steve! :)

Thanks John! As for my day job... it's a firefighter. Most of my skills are just from working on projects and learning as I go. I like to delve into things. I learned the 'figure it out' attitude from my dad and I've learned a lot of problem solving from my father in law too. The rest is just grit I guess...lol Oh yes... I acted as an owner/builder for my home and learned a lot from that too. I didn't do everything but acted as the general contractor and was involved in every process of the build. Was a great experience... learned a ton... but found out that building a home isn't as complex as one would think... but jumping through the red tape of permits and county bureaucracy (aka... bureau-crazy) is the real thing that makes building a home challenging....lol

Hi Raynola! Thanks, and yes I'm really happy with the strip too! As for the Logo... yep, that's the plan. I need to find a place that will make UV resistant logo decals. ... don't want it getting all brown and sun burnt after a year ;)

I was waiting. It's an amazing job. I am a man living in South Korea .. I live in an apartment and I am envious of your working environment.What is the total weight and why did not you do the brake system? Oh, and you look handsome.

Thanks GY Kim! much appreciated :) I just checked out your trailer video.. GREAT job!! As for the weight... I'm looking to have it be in the 2200-2400lb range when finished. As for brakes.. yes, there will be brakes but I won't wire them until I get my tongue box made so that I can locate the wire harness inside that. thanks for watching and great to hear from S Korea!!

Thanks! as for material costs... I will go over it in general in a questions video but it won't be down to the nitty gritty details because I haven't been that good at keeping all the receipts... lol...most of the metal was donated by industrial metal supply but I can easily figure estimates on that since Ive bought so much from them over the years.. But the quick assessement is that it will likley be more than buying a small used one but WAY less than a brand new one:)

Very impressive skill set and patience to pull it off. Thanks for posting the video. At 2:39, you mention a sealant tape for corners and ceiling-to-wall applications. Who makes this and what is it called?

If it were me i would save room inside and do an outdoor shower and some kind of cool curtain solution just my 2 cents
@homesteadonomics
@homesteadonomics 6 жыл бұрын
There will likely be an outdoor shower too... actually would be the preferred way so as to keep water out of the trailer. but the little shower room will be more of a place to keep a cassette toilet for emergencies, etc,. :)

thanks Tory! the bathroom and shower will be the last things to go in as I'm not totally sure how to set it up... but it will be pretty basic... no black tank, just a cassette toilet for emegencies...haha... I prefer the great outdoors for me, so its mostly for my daughter... and wife at night if its raining :)

Two ideas, as far as the rear bumper, good idea, you could incorporate a swing out bracket on the door side to hold a grill possibly. As well as have storage for a sewer or water hose. Other idea is to run a piece of aluminum the width of whatever table you build along the door side of the camper spaced out a bit from the wall. The table will then have a similar length metal piece to slide onto the metal on the trailer. The purpose being is to have on end of the table attached to the camper and the ability to have one leg on the other end of the table, this way it will never be wobbly wherever you park it. Think outdoor kitchen.

Ive seen some where folks use like a 'C' track for that to hold one side... I like it a lot! I do plan to make that lower cargo door into a slide out table of some sort but not totally sure of how I'll do it. But I really do like the idea of a bracket supported table. thanks Philip!
