“That project is my medicine.” Totally made me tear up and feel seen. I built a desk this week for the exact same reason. Can’t wait to see how your project turns out!

Your check list seems to be a lot for a little horse trailer. I'm looking forward to seeing how you solve this 3D-Tetris game.

[@greengohm]

Oh, so this list is for a single horse trailer? Holy crap...

It shows so much enthusiasm when you talk in your videos. Looking forward to the upcoming build.

[@Largexxl-zn4lx]

My advice: get rid of everything but metal. The rest will smell like horse for years. A friend of mine tryed somenting like that, and regrets keeping some old wood.

[@shyamdevadas6099]

I have a feeling that getting rid of the wood is mandatory. Did you see her flaking off that MDF board with her pocket knife? I've always wanted to do a project like this. One of the things that I still wonder about is the gross weight. With all of the amenities, I'd want, it would weigh a ton.

[@plankengriller7320]

@@shyamdevadas6099 it's plywood, not medium density fiberboard

[@shyamdevadas6099]

@@plankengriller7320 Ahhh... you're right. Good catch.

[@fisheater844]

Maximum road width and use lightweight steel studs, keep it light under 2.5 T

[@williamcarr2630]

@@plankengriller7320 Actually it is wafer board made by gluing up small wafers and drying under great pressure whereas plywood is a sheet of wood veneer placed 45 to 90 degrees to the previous sheet and continued in this manner with glue between each sheet until the desired thickness is reached. Followed by rolling under pressure and drying under pressure at very warm temperatures to control humidity and warping. Mdf is simply shreded and pulverized wood fibers mixed with epoxy and molded under tremendous pressure. The length of the fibers and degree of pulverization is what determines whether it is high density fiberboard (hdf), medium density fiberboard (mdf), or low density fiberboard (ldf).

I don't know about you, but I can't believe the tiny house build was 2 YEARS ago!! I love the way you tackle big projects, and looking forward to this one!

[@laurakampf]

Yes! Crazy right? It’s 2,5 actually. Time flys!!!

[@alifetomake]

You're absolutely right. Making stuff makes us sane. Just knowing that at the end of the day, you've made something, means you're still going forward. I really like this project btw!

[@christoffer1973]

So great that you speak English in your videos. Great project you have.

[@garagedweller7159]

You are so right,my projects are my medicine. Enjoy yours. You seem like a genuinely nice person,stay safe.

[@ImpatientTurtle]

I love your normal style of videos with the smooth edits, the music, no talking but... Its really nice to hear your thought process on these mini deep dives. Also love the Tshirt, my sons name is Miles, hes only 18 months so we havent made much together yet (apart from a mess) but Im looking forward to teaching him about making in the future.

[@marcinsykut497]

Lots of features for tiny camper but doable . Cant wait to see new ideas . Good luck and thank you Laura !

[@hpda44]

Looking forward to it Laura. I’m glad you’re not sick and you’re still able to do things.

[@MoonshineMetalworks]

I love these kind of projects, especially your take on them! The toilet/shower/sink situation should be an interesting problem to solve. Good to see you're managing to keep busy and sane during this whole situation too.

[@clydebalcom8252]

There's nothing better than to be proud of your accomplishments.

[@dpshockley57]

You have been a super hero of mine for awhile so now you know too. The house my wife and bought in 2002 was a fixer on steroids. I had 12 volt power tools i would charge up in our apartment at night and and work on our fixer on my days off that had no electricity at the time. I had some hand tools. I totally get where you are coming from and I can see no limits to where you are going. Thank you for bringing us along with you on this journey. Peace, love, and health.

[@LukeTheJoker]

Your original tiny camper video was how I found your channel! I have thought many times about a horse float being an interesting starting point for a camper, so I will be watching with interest!

[@janasapu1]

You're right, Laura. For this difficult time, work is the best medicine. I wish all of us to come out of this health. ❤️🙏

[@Controvena]

Of course, we are with you in this new adventure!

[@honeybadgerisme]

1. How in the world is your English so good? 2. Tiny campers are addicting. It is fun. Once you do it, it's like living on vacation. 3. Keeping busy is wise (&fun). 4. Love your designs. Thanks for sharing!

[@rushley5813]

Between this sort of stuff and your whacky bike videos i dont know which is my favorite glad to see you doing another camper your style makes those really fun to watch

[@sentagustafsson7204]

hey Laura, i really like you because you're natural and, most important, you make me smile and we know how important is these days to be able to smile ! thanks :)

[@molegrip3860]

I just know that this build series will educate and entertain. You (& the Maker community in general) are keeping ME sane right now. Cheers Laura - thanks so much for sharing, and a Happy Sunday to you. You and yours stay safe & well :)

Awesome idea. Can't wait to see the completion. Thanks for sharing the whole process.

[@tiosolid]

I love how you are always so happy when talking about your projects with a big smile on your face all the time. You are an inspiration. Looking forward to see how this new trailer will look like!

[@kairon156]

I look forward to seeing this project unfold. Good luck.

[@sharonherrin]

Thank you 🙏 I love your energy and enthusiasm. Mark

[@chrisdrake447]

An inspirational project for sure. Love that you’ve shared your thought process too. I kinda miss you narrating us through some of your recent projects . Looking forward to the tear-down as well as the build-up ... have a feeling it’s gonna be epic.

[@cristinaallen8042]

Omg I say this video of you many years ago I loved the camper I wanted to build one myself. And now I have found you again ☺️

[@FaithPixel]

This is so exciting! I get that same feeling from thinking about having a small living space that you can actually take anywhere and live. It is comforting to me because it feels like a backup. As though if something bad happened or if u just needed freedom you can go straightaway.

[@red2lucas]

My new favourite channel. Without sounding like a hippie I love your energy, love what you’re making. Lines up with what I find aesthetically pleasing. And super functional too.

[@julietphillips1991]

Hi Laura! You should be proud of yourself...I am proud of you! Stay safe. See you soon.

[@JB-ir3is]

I'm sure whatever idea you come up with will be great. Keep on inspiring us and don't stop your videos. You guys (KZbinrs) are one of the reasons we are not completely crazy yet.

[@EvanMoon]

Brilliant idea. Horse trailer is strong, high roof, And often you can buy one for cheap. Ready to enjoy watching this story

[@upriver7047]

I am too. Building mine from the American version of a 5x14 vintage livestock trailer. How lucky I am that your channel just popped up on my recommended list! I can't wait to see what you can do with yours. Best wishes!

You look so happy sitting with Smudo inside! This is the look of adventure and excitement!

Please keep doing what you love, it helps us a lot! Thank you!

[@fibranijevidra]

Wow. What a list for such a small space!? That's very optimistic. Looking forward to it.

[@jimmcnett]

Hi Laura. I was amazing watching you recap all your past tiny living projects. Over the years I have watched each and every one of the builds. That means I am eagerly waiting to see what you come up with this time. See you next week. I know it will be better that the last ones.

[@diYotamCh]

[@JeghedderThomas]

It's the joy of being home no matter where you go. Like a nomad.

[@paulmatysek6017]

Fantastic idea, we were thinking to make one into a mobile coffee shop but a camper is way more adventurous. Good luck, we enjoy your videos and especially now with being shut in and staying safe. I wish you and all of your viewers good health. Cheers from Toronto.

Tolles Projekt das individuenübergreifend zur allgemeinen Gesundung beitragen wird 😊👍.

[@fionafowlks6661]

My husband and I are attempting the same thing. In our spare time with all our surplus cash, of course! We bought a three-horse "slant" with a dressing room in the V-nose. Our pantry will consist of a very solid, MCM commercial drawer filing cabinet. The heavy drawers glide in and out smoothly, each one locking itself into the closed position every single time! The five drawers hold a TON of goods in a very small footprint and are 100% vermin proof. The unit is short enough we plan to use the top of it to build out an eye-level microwave/coffee station. The best part is it was totally FREE! People get rid of these all the time. Oh yeah, and we won't have to build anything except for a wooden tray with a lip to hold our appliances on top. I do think we are going to go crazy with painting it though!

[@felixfromnebraska8648]

Ok, Laura, I understand your interest in home tiny living. Why not just build one from the ground up. Start with the making of the trailer, and expand with a unique build with all of the Laura Kampf style and design. You always have such an amazing way of seeing your projects and expanding on them.; I hope you are staying safe during this time in history. Felix

[@jacobroberts1434]

Very excited for this build Laura!

You are hands down one of my favorite Makers. I can't wait to see what you come up with.

[@PatrickPoet]

I wondered where the tiny house went! I laughed when she said, "And now I'm doing it again -- " and then she paused and I thought, just say it, you can't help yourself, AND THEN SHE SAID IT!!! It was so funny -- but true. This video makes me so happy.

[@laurakampf]

Hahaha, thanks :)

[@thomastieffenbacherdocsava1549]

Laura, nice bit of info on your educational background. Your videos just showed up and reminded me of my "oh yah gotta watch that." LOL! Definit design challenge. Nice to have your process explaination. Go Laura go!

[@russframe]

Great idea - making something is great medicine, lockdown or not - I’ve been building out my woodworking shop and getting to stuff I have been putting off :) great medicine for the head

[@jimneely4527]

You go girl! My last big project was converting a short school bus into a tiny home. To be honest, I haven't used it much, but I understand the motivation a project like this gives you. Keep on making and stay safe!

[@jimwalther9540]

My son converted a horse trailer into a camper several years ago. He didn't do everything you are doing but it really looked good when he finished. He did have a kitchen and a double bed. He also had room for his 4 wheeler in the back. He took it to the mountains to go bear hunting.

[@mylilprincess06]

Hi Laura, I live here in the NRW with my german husband (I'm ex-american) and the TUV said I could never self-build a camper. I had plans somewhat close to yours but NOPE. Damn TUV!!!! So rock it and let the TUV understand you can't stop creativness!

[@laurakampf]

I got TÜV for the tiny camper years ago...maybe I should talk to them beforehand

[@raraavis7782]

Laura Kampf I talked to a Herr Dierichsweiler from Dekra Cologne recently and he was very friendly on the phone. He said, getting a ‚Wohnwagen Zulassung‘ for my Transporter wouldn’t be a problem, as long as it fulfilled the usual requirements. Haven’t actually been there, due to the Corona outbreak, but I don’t expect any trouble. Maybe talk to him, if the TÜV isn’t keen on the idea.

[@thetalkingfly]

Laura you stay safe too. Love the idea of this, can't wait to see how you do it. You inspire us with every video. Thank you! Cheers, Steve TTF

[@heps5954]

I HOPE you and your loves ones are OK too, and that the project will turn out awesome

[@jaclynvassallo7604]

Yaass! You got this! 💪 Thanks for this 'breakdown' video showing your thought process and your progression of micro-living over the years. It is a reminder that life, skills, and patterns (of interests, styles, etc) just takes time to develop..... I love your work❤ Looking forward to seeing this (re)build

[@TheSteveAS]

The final design should include a horse butt and tail hanging out the back end of the trailer. Looks like a really fun project! Smudo seems as excited as you are!

[@TravisSteeves]

Looking super forward to seeing what you do with this old horse trailer. I know it’s going to be awesome!! See you next week 😁

[@metalhed2]

Wow! Again. You really have a lot on your plate this time, Laura. This is going to be a difficult and fun challenge. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

[@CantTalkImRiding]

Yay! I'm looking forward to watching this design and build process. My senior design project wasn't approved by my professors so I had to do something else. You scored.

[@Iskelderon]

Awesome project idea! Some makers just have topics that fascinate them so much, they return to them. Remember Adam Savage and his multiple iterations of movie gun replicas that get better and better each time? Doesn't hurt that your kind of pet project has advantages in everyday life and can save you money in the long run.

[@LucianoIngrassia]

I love your projects in series, it keeps me even more engaged with your work! BTW, nice finishing words... your wishes felt truly sincere, thanks and you too stay safe & busy!

[@luvnotvideos]

So stoked to watch this new project unfold! I absolutely loved watching you build the tiny home and your van. Looking forward to this latest project :)
