Must See 19 Years Old 8×20 Cargo Trailer Camper Conversion With Absolutely Stunning Interior.

This 19 years old Cargo Trailer Conversion Camper picked up from Facebook Marketplace is a perfect example of just how well these trailers hold up over time, making them the perfect platform for a Camper Conversion/Toy Hauler project.

I live across the street from Jim believe me he has worked on this for some time BUT it was well worth it this is the first time I have saw it since he finished it... LOOKS GOOD JIM

[@DaveWebb-ec8sk]

Looks great.. i remember when i went through my mid life crisis around 20 years ago. 2 Harleys, a nice tent, and a motorhome.. now I ride my couch watching other people go through their 2nd childhood.. good to see you are having fun with it..😊

[@terrymathis4213]

I love what they did with the shower curtains genius.

[@jimkaraok]

I thought that that was going to be very complicated and it turned out to be very simple😊 Thank you

[@terrymathis4213]

@@jimkaraok also like its a camper & can b a toy hauler. Neat.

[@BernieKathie]

@@jimkaraok hi Jim!!

[@jimkaraok]

@@BernieKathie hi😊😊

[@RK_Kong69]

@jimkaraok on the shower scene is that just a residential shower you get from lowes home depot etc etc as well as your grey tank is it mounted under the trailer? Nice ctc im going this weekend to look at trailers myself to convert into toyhauler for my harley

[@jameroser-zi5dg]

❤it's a blessing that you are feeling well enough to put a vlog together for us all. Thank you, God bless ❤

[@Doc1855]

Obviously you’re feeling better Bill. We’ve been praying for you and Deb

[@billanddeb]

I am feeling better. Keep in mind, this video was shot back in June when I was not sick, just fat. Lol. But yes, the antibiotics are finally kicking and I feel a little better each day.

[@ralphowens4510]

Cracked me up when he said "Murial". Big difference from us southerners

[@dnbcricket]

I love the inconspicuous nature of the build. Retaining functionality with ingenuity, very nice build!

[@deanrhodus1343]

Great layout, multi use, ....excellent design Jim and Linda!!!

[@morrisshepherd1637]

Great 19yr old car hauler! The window made with shower curtain is beautiful.

[@lennyherman8923]

Nice clean build. I really liked the finish on his tables and counter top.

[@jimkaraok]

Thank you

[@BernieKathie]

Yeah, Jim and Linda!! Awesome people we met in Missouri!! Love your CTC!!

[@beerdrinker6452]

The most impressive shower I have seen. Nice video.

[@dcole109]

Thank you Bill. I love your videos especially the walk through stuff. I’m glad you were able to post and I pray you heal soon.

[@elizabethcarrington5819]

This little place is a real cutie! I love the decor and the layout! It looks so cozy and comfy. Awesome tv set up and I like the openness and simplicity of the drop down tables. They also show that if you have a good eye and sense of style, you can make anything look great!

[@texdog2772]

That is very well thought out. Only thing I saw I would add is a half self in the little cupboard over the fridge. Nice job. I use throw rugs over cold floor and roll up to dust mop out trailer and shake rugs outside. The floors are always cold in cold weather. Happy living

[@dawnw3680]

Great conversion! I like how he thought it through and came up with practical solutions ❤

[@adambell2068]

That’s really nice, they did a great job.

A very nice interview. Thanks for showing us what you have done.

I am praying this means that you are feeling better Bill.

[@billanddeb]

Yes, I am feeling better. Keep in mind that this walk thru video was filmed back in June at the Tiny House Adventures Rendezvous in Missouri. But yes, the antibiotics are finally kicking in and I'm feeling better everyday.

Thank you for watching

[@birdmandave]

I lived in a 7X14 trailer once while hunting. Had 3 beds, no lights and no heater. And it rained for 6 of the 7 days. But I got my moose

[@MrMoneyHelper]

This size trailer might be the only size house I'll ever be able to afford.

Simple, but very efficient!!! I love it💞💞💞

Very nice setup.

[@davidharris1767]

Great job.

[@sheilawhite8628]

Love the walk thrus

[@IRLArgentino]

The very best thing to show you someone went above and beyond is that they built out that front wall to hide all the cables and a/c lines so they run down to the bottom.

[@seancrumby3241]

That's awesome Lil trailer

[@glenncoon6639]

Very nice well thought out

[@jessebarnes8452]

Awesome build! Lots of thought and time I hope you get a ton of use out of it.

[@debramedina9347]

Nice rig.

[@dinabutler5797]

Shower curtain?! Fantastic!

[@billanddeb]

Yes a great, simple idea

[@natashkafromgrapa]

So unexpected, but so pleasantly surprised!

[@jamesperry9176]

Thats a great build

[@Terirn65]

I love the whole setup, but especially the large shower, kitchen and the whole solar electrical combination….you did a great job. Curious how much everything costs? I am still trying to decide what I want. Thank you!

[@Freebeertomorrow-q3z]

Great idea. I could live in that year round. Especially with the cost of housing being so high.

[@thomasd9237]

Nice 👍👍

[@CeceliaAnderson-x1d]

highlights! You look awesome.

[@lowermichiganadventures]

Love ❤️ the tiny house community

[@jmb-cm7mr]

Iwould want at least one window to look out and for more airflow. Other than that this a really nice build.

[@garycampbell-or8tr]

Nice job

[@sammyfl7]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@jamesjackson7752]

Nice.😊

[@jaynedoe1959]

Nice!

[@jameroser-zi5dg]

P.S. I am so stealing the shower curtain thing 😊

[@TomHugley]

I’d imagine if that floor isn’t insulated, that airbed would be rather cold in the spring and fall. Certainly not a complaint, just an observation. Very nice build,bye the way!

[@lowermichiganadventures]

My buddy has a 7x20 with 8 foot ceiling he’s actually thinking about maybe putting bunkbeds in his I said that might be kind of cool lol

[@micheleparker8553]

Bill, I hope you and Deb are doing okay. ❤️

[@rockdean1]

What is the toung weight? Very nice build.

[@mcconn746]

Cool.

[@davej7434]

Nice toyhauler, where does the bed go when the toys are loaded?

[@gerrycollins9409]

It looked like an inflatable bed to me.

[@billanddeb]

We never really talked about it. Sorry.

[@jimkaraok]

That is an air mattress that we just roll up and put out of the way

[@moseslakerealestate2202]

How do you fit the side by side in?

I don't understand about what's so stunning about the interior?

[@billanddeb]

Guess it's all in the eyes of the beholder. Different strokes.......

[@christilang414]

My husband and I wondered what underlayment Jim used on the ceiling and we assumed you Glued it??? If so what kind of glue and was it a pain to do? Thank you!!

[@bigdaddysshop8180]

It's called Luan

[@midtn9]

Can I ask where the 2025 meetup might be. From Tampa . Thanks

[@billanddeb]

We always announce dates and locations of our Rendezvous around 6 months in advance right here on the KZbin channel. Stay tuned.

[@koonske]

Is that an air mattress?

[@DeannaR2331165]

Yes. I have a double height queen like that one. Very convenient and a bit easier on older knees than single height.

[@chillwillracing803]

They like to drink 😂

[@PandaLife-lp8kn]

This is a man cave which speaks more to his marriage than camper life.

[@c50ge]

At 5:15. The Devil will like that too ???

[@AaronRiddle-h5o]

Bill I am finishing a 8x20 trailer, is there a reason why I couldn’t put a residential toilet in it except for weight

[@billanddeb]

I can't think of any reason.

[@bigdaddysshop8180]

The shaking back and forth is hard on the tank seals. You have to take the lid off when you are traveling. I had one and the tank eventually broke.

[@Ozarkwoods]

I wonder if they are having problems getting into RV parks. A lot of parks have a requirement that the RV have an RVIA approved certification.

[@billanddeb]

We've covered this subject in the past. Private campgrounds generally do not accept Cargo Trailer Conversions. However, Deb and I have found a couple here and there that do. That's why 99% of the time we stay in US Army Corp of Engineer campgrounds and State Parks. No hassle there. In fact, we prefer these types of campgrounds for a multitude of reasons. First and foremost,,,,,,,price. If you're 62 and over, you qualify for the America The Beautiful Senior Pass which gets you a 50% discount at all federally managed campgrounds. A typical COE site is rarely more than $30 per night, and with the Senior Pass that equates to $15 per night. Most have water and electric at the site, and some have sewer at the site. In addition, you're not crammed in like sardines, and, most of these campgrounds are next to a beautiful river or lake.

[@JuneAStaudenmayer]

When you get drunk just walk over and fall into bed.

[@daveholte7658]

Interesting videos. I don’t see any of them mention or discuss the main # 1 feature of any build That is torsion axles and Vault Hubs. Pulling these trailers all over the roads, leaf springs that break and old school packing bearings is never fun I may need to do a Cargo Conversion instead of those over rated expensive RVs..

[@billanddeb]

A few of our walk thru videos have featured those with torsion axles. The biggest issue I've seen is inadequate ground clearance. I have yet to hear anyone say they can be adjusted for higher ground clearance. Low ground clearance creates a multitude of issues when it comes to sewer drains, etc. In addition, those torsion axles I have seen on Cargo Trailer Conversions have the same spindles and bearings with quick lube hubs.

[@richscott2952]

just upgrade the axles to 7000 pounds each torque flex , eight lug , will ride same ,hit curbs all day ,go off road , never get flat , i switch my landscaping trailer to this ,and haven’t changed a flat tire since clipping curbs

[@tlynnso]

Love that awesome shower!! 💦

[@RocksNRuts4]

all that was cheaper than buyin one?

[@billanddeb]

Most likely, yes. In addition, if repairs need to be made, they can easily do. They built it.

[@portrait1001]

I mean why not install a few small windows. It be worth it yes.

[@billanddeb]

A window is nice, but remember, every small space is important. A window space removes storage space, so everyone's needs are different.

[@matthewharper8986]

That is FANTASTIC! Great job!

[@shawnlund]

That guy has no idea his wife is desperate to have a voice.

[@billanddeb]

You have no idea the people that refuse to talk on camera

[@davidoickle1778]

Couldn't they find a "bigger" TV?? Ha Ha

[@dryvonne1999]

That trailer needs windows.

[@billanddeb]

They seem to be okay with it. Everyone has their own preferences. That's the beauty of building your own. You build it with the features that are important to you. 😆
