Cargo trailer to camper conversion

everybody yeah I've been asked a few times to do a quick little video on the build of my mic trailer I've done one video on YouTube which was just a bunch of pictures of the build but I figured I'd do a quick walkthrough video and show you what the kind of the finished thing looks like so this is a 6 foot by 12 foot interstate loadrunner single axle trailer i put the windows in it I got him out of a wrecked RV from a wrecking yard there's three of them two on this side and one around over on this side I got him out of a wrecked RV from a wrecking yard I got all three of them for 140 bucks which I didn't think was a bad deal the graphics on the side I got from eBay and they were hundred and no disregard they were $85 for both sides I just had to do a little bit of modifications to make them fit on here because they were supposed to be for like a 20 foot RV on the top I don't know if you can see it or not but I've got three solar panels from Harbor Freight on the front of the trailer I put a little storage box that has the battery in there keep a battery charger in there and extension cords things like that that I need when I get to get to where I'm going I've got these solar powered lights solar powered motion lights they also will just go on and off so if I'm traveling at night and I don't want them to go on I can turn them off and I've got one on each each side of the trailer going inside the trailer on the outside air on that door there I've got a wastebasket so when you're inside I didn't really have a spot to put it and usually our doors open when we're camping somewhere so it works good for when we're out so microwave up top cabinets small little Keurig sink refrigerator solar charger and a power strip cabinet down below here you open up the back doors and it's more light inside so here's the inside TV's mounted on this back door it's a 32 inch smart TV so if we're inside we can watch it inside if we want to keep the doors open and put our lawn chairs out back you can watch watch a movie out back here got the futon for our bed and I didn't want anything permanent just in case I need to pull it out and do some hauling so it's easy to pull in and out outside table if we need one and here's bathroom basically port-a-potty I'm gonna put a curtain rod or a rod up there so we can also hang clothes in here either this year late this year maybe next year's project is I'm gonna fiberglass it in a shower pan and build the lip up at the front door here and seal it all off inside and put a shower in here but that'll be a that'll be a probably next year's project looking back cabinets so I just built everything from scratch I didn't pay anybody to do anything I'm not a carpenter but everything pretty much turned out okay as far as I'm concerned got a fantastic fan up above I bought that off of ebay for I think it was 29 bucks I think it was 36 bucks was shipping and everything and it was just it was a an old one out of someone else's RV and the switch didn't work so I took took the fan to my Napa store and we decided that a switch from I don't know it's like a wiper switch from a 70 something Chevy pickup or something actually worked a great for it it's a two-stage wiper motor switch so it you know two-stage fan and it does a lot for the keeping the cold air out it and I say cold air on I'm in the hot air out so we just keep it running it doesn't have it doesn't put a very big draw in the battery at all solar charger down below here is the 12-volt fuse box and my water pump is down there and back behind these boxes the water tank inverters back there along with another power strip it's a 1500 watt pure sine inverter on demand water got a bunch of different LED lights these at Costco [Music] they do the white color a couple of them a Burnout but they also do the reds and so just adds a little something in here at night so I got four or five of those along the ceiling I got a couple of them underneath here got a couple in the cabinets got a little 12-volt fan or in here as well just to blow air on us kind of comes in handy little propane heater if we're out roughing it I also keep a little electric heater up in the cupboard here when we're up to power usually run everything off of shore power at a campground or wherever we're going but if not like I said I have the solar panels up on top and we can dry camp for a few days with those all right I have a twenty five hundred watt generator that we bring along with us as well so it usually usually is just plenty for us well anyway I just want to do a quick quick walkthrough there's an unedited it's kind of a stupid short video but a lot of people wanted to see a quick walkthrough so if you have any questions just give me a comment so talk to you later
