    Hey I have a serious question, I need your help, I see how u have ur electric setup, I just bought a gutted 30ft trailer so I'm gonna fix it up, I want to be able to have its own electric and run a AC all day sometimes and night, also a tv and fridge, what kind of electrical system do I need to be able to run those all day and night?

    Very nice build, I am curious as to the longevity of running all your conduit under the trailer. At least where I’m from that would rot out rather quickly due to seasonal changes. I’m sure in the south it’s not as much of an issue but I’m still curious of how it’s held up during trips

    Warning ⚠️ Using pallet wood. Not only is it a nightmare to separate the wood, BUT, pallets are treated with hazardous chemicals to make them last a long, long time. Sanding, is bad enough, but to use this much in an enclosed space this small... Very bad idea, very bad

    • @CTCAdventures
      @CTCAdventures 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for your concern. Yeah it was labor intense but well worth it. I didn't come across any that were treated. I'd know after taking off the surface while planing.

    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 cabinet 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.

      It's pretty low. Typical of a cargo trailer. I've never scraped. Thinking about bringing the leaf springs above the axle though.

    $1000 ?? You must be joking. My 12 x 6 cost me $2800 off the lot. That was the cheap part. The electrical system alone was over $2,000. The mattress was $430. The vent was just under $200. There is all the wood and fittings. It continues to cost more and more as it is improved and upgraded. This video is complete bs.

    can you break down what you used to insulate? What material was used in addition to the foam boards? Was it on both sides? Did you need to use any glue or just fit and tape on the seems? Im going to re-insulate my aluminum cargo trailer. the builder used Styrofoam and it doesnt stop the suns heat at all. Trailer is a hot box in the sun. even the walls are hot to the touch on the inside,

    • @johndoe-ek6vl
      @johndoe-ek6vl 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      you need to isolate the walls to prevent thermal transfer through the studs.. or just install a mini split ac and be done with it.

    Awesome build!! There’s absolutely no freakin way you only spent $1,000 even if you had every bit of wood for free. All the electrical components and wiring and vent fan, sink, inverter, conduit, windows, heck I’ve spent a couple hundred just on screws with my build. So unless you are a carpenter/electrician that stole thousands of dollars of supplies from your job you’re gonna give poor saps like me the idea we too can do this on the cheap. 😅 for us non electrician/carpenter plumbers that can’t steal from our jobs that’s easily 3k plus the cost of the trailer itself. But definitely a gorgeous build!!
