Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the watch!

Thank you!

Thank you. Simple really is best! Thanks for watching.

Thank you! We've done a number of camping trips and one extended trip, so far so good! I'll probably make a few additions this winter while it's not being used. Thanks for watching!

Very welcome. Thanks for the watch!

Absolutely thanks for watching!

Thanks so much! It's really not too difficult to do what I've done. I'd say most people could accomplish the same thing with a bit of effort. Thanks for the watch!

Absolutely, thanks for the watch!

Sorry I have the trailer in winter storage at the moment. Next spring I'll get a photo for you. Or perhaps a followup video at the 1 year mark!

I picked up a 6x12 cheap, had no plans but now thinking about camper conversion, maybe swapping for a smaller size. At any rate, if I do I'll probably camp more in winter than summer in N Ga.​@@theDADgineer

Thank you!

Thanks so much for the watch and the positive feedback! Complex builds have their place, just usually not in my garage :) Also, excellent advice with regards to kids. I'm experiencing the speed at which time moves.

Thank you! Yes, I really want to work in the kitchen soon. Too busy enjoying it, no time to work on it :) perhaps I'll get it done this winter.. if you have any cool ideas I'd love the input.

@@theDADgineer well, I don’t know how cool my ideas are. But I’ve seen several TH-camrs add on a collapsible table on the back door. That way it doesn’t interfere when you’re in bed. You could also put screen netting up on the back wall with the magnets that close you can pull it open when you want it open and have it closed for fabulous air ventilation then without the bugs. I’m looking for a cargo trailer for me. I want a small 5 x 8 also but I have balance issues so I need on 6’ high. Still looking. Have fun.

Yes, love the idea for the bug net on the rear door. Having the ability to keep it open would certainly help in the hot weather. Best of luck in your search! There are lots of brands available in the 6ft height these days. Shorter was actually more difficult to find.

Thank you!

Thanks so much!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

Highly recommend it. Make sure to post a build video!

Great idea if you plan on spending more time inside the trailer other than sleeping. 5x8 is a bit right with a fixed bed. A fold up bed would free up a lot of space

Just bought a 5x10 flatbed trailer for $700 looking to convert into something like this but this Texas heat is just vicious! Hopefully I’ll get it done soon

​@@jbazan11very nice! Good luck on the build

Thanks!

Thanks! Yes, I had to cut a few studs. I cut out the 'middle' of the stud to clear the window, leaving the top and bottom of the stud still attached. Then I welded horizontal braces above and below the window. Welded to the cut stud, and welded to the studs on each side of the window. Same thing done on the door. Turned out very strong. 1" x 1" x 0.100" square tube works excellent for the horizontal braces. The brand/model is Cargomate blazer 5x8 With the arched roof. I believe the flat roof was around the same height too. There are a couple of other brands with lower height trailers, best to check out their spec sheets on the company website. Best of luck with your build!

@@theDADgineer thank you!!, I expected the same idea!!

Awesome, thank you!

Thanks! Always keep it simple.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video. Best of luck with your cargo camper build!

just got one myself, doing same thing. haul my ATV and make a camper

Awesome. Make sure you take a video of your build, I'd love to check it out. The cargomate blazer 5x8 is about 78" tall I believe (specs can be found on their website). So yeah, it fits in a standard height garage. My garage was a little shorter so i have to remove the roof vent cover which takes about 30 seconds
