Awesome job 👏 👍 Thank you for sharing your build!
Great job love the details would have liked a real time step by step and cost breakdown
I wanted to see more of the final build:( good job as for what I did see
You made the same mistake I did. Despite the vertical wall furring strips (I do not even know why you did that) you ignored thermal bridging. If you are always in a perfect climate no problem but if not then it is a problem. As I run my hand across my walls in sunny weather I can feel the heat coming off the places where the steel tubing is. The tubing needs to be covered with at least a 1/2" sheet of insulation in addition to what goes between the studs. All wiring can easily be channeled across the top. Love the fact that you threw away the original garbage 3/8" ply on the walls and used OSB instead. If I tear my walls apart again I am definitely going to do that. It is cheap, versatile and strong. The weight difference is negligable. I have lived in mine for 5 years full time. I follow the weather as much as possible. Montana / Wyoming and Colorado in the summer and Arizona in the winter. Spring-time in Mississippi for repairs and upgrades which is where I am now. Redoing my AC, replacing the fanlight (again) and installing a 3rd solar panel on the side of my trailer like a hinged wing. That will give me 1200 watts on a good day. If you ever want to compare notes just respond to this post and I will see it.
I put up the furring strips so I could get over 2 in of insulation, thus making thermal bridging much less likely as well as condensation. I haven’t had many issues so far with it. I will do a video as soon as it warms up on everything I did. I’m in the Montana area right now
@@gonewiththewaves Thanks for the response. I see what you mean with the strips now. However wood is nowhere as good an insulator as styrofoam. Still, sometimes there is no choice. I am framing out my window ac unit now and I am in the same boat. I have to use wood to both frame and use as an insulation material. No choice. Love Montana. I usually head for Great Falls and a perfect camping spot by the Sun River to the west of GF.
Looks amazing...so fun
Thanks so much! It’s lots of fun!
Did you build bunk beds foldable ? And how to support them chain?on 45°
I need to post another video when it’s not winter on everything I did. I made a large platform on hinges that folds up and down. It’s supported both by the hinges, the base and scaffolding supports that take 20 seconds to set up.
Are those wiindows big enough for egress?
You did a great job on this build. It was also nice to see your grandfather helping you. Thank you for sharing the pictures of your awesome adventures. Safe and joyful blessings!
Aye, I'm getting a 6x12 cargo trailer for my Tacoma as well. It'll be entirely off grid and my new home as I travel across the country. How's it holding up for you so far?
i forget i have it on the back unless im going up a hill, then it struggles a little bit. So far everything is holding up great. The 6x12 is just big enough to work. Any wider would have been a little more sketchy towing
@@gonewiththewaves Agreed about the size. I see a lot of people tow 7x14 or 16 and get 8 mpg 😂 While my tiny home won’t be over 4000lbs, the aerodynamics play a huge part. Is your Tacoma a 4cyclinder or V6? I have a 19 TRD pro with V6.
@@aldonis7515 mine is a 6. The 6x12 is perfect width wise especially if you will do any back country camping. A foot wider would be harder to see in the side mirrors and to get off road
Great build!
Damn that scorch x can boof!
Nice design. We have a 6x12 and are heading West - hope to see you in our travels. Stay safe. Rick & Sharon
Great video,thanks. Was that your grandfather? Just watching makes me miss mine. Again thank you.
Yes it is! He was quite the help with the whole project and loved doing it. Thanks for watching!
Pretty cool video, thanks
Glad you liked it!
Nice ending to the video. However, I would like to see more of the finished product.
I will try and post a video on everything that I did
I like this video and I like how you took the steps needed to do the basics right. This really helps the life of the trailer. I too want to see more of what you did, because just seeing things shares and generates ideas. Enjoy your rig!
Worst ending to a trailer build ever. Where's the final result? What a waste of time.
