**I'm a Hawaii girl but live in Montana. While being here in Montana, I have had to find ways to be able to continue to enjoy our local Hawaii foods we grew up with. I'll share my cooking recipes in hopes to help others who are from the islands but living here on the 'mainland' and missing the taste of home.
I'll also sometimes share about beauty and everyday life because life gets busy and I just like to share stuffs to help others. 🌺🤙 - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Awesome. Nice making getting out with the kids easier. I watch your dad quite often.
Aw, thank you! And he thanks you, too 😊
I follow you mom and dad they are great thank you for sharing
ALOHA 🌺 watching this in Dec 2021. Beautiful home for your Ohana
Thank you!
Brilliant!!! The shower/hole just changed my whole build. Very inspiring. I'll be checking out your dad's channel. Thanks for this.
I've watched a lot of your Dad's videos, watched your sister's insulation, windows, and vent being done. Very nice build, simple yet functional. Thanks for sharing and keep adventur'n! 👍
Thank you, Chris!
The shower is genius
Thank you!
U did a great job watch your dad’s video all the time thank you!
your shower is very cool. you could easily rig for a greywater tank large enough to hold a more than a few shower sessions; to be handled at a more convenient spot (truck stop, rest area, what have you) anyway, this is an extremely cool idea, many thanks
I somehow stumbled upon your dads videos and then yours. Your parents are the cutest. You can totally see how much they love each other. These are such great ideas.
Yes, they are the best! Thank you!
I follow your mom and dad you all have great builds thank you for sharing it great
That shower set up is BRILLIANT!! You just solved a really important issue of how I was going to have a shower. I knew I needed a hole, but that screw on lid is what I love. Oh and FYI- If you are in a place where you cant let your grey water flow freely underneath you, there are portable grey water tanks on rollers. Slide it under your rig under that hole or you can install a hose under your rig to go right into that portable grey tank. I get why Parks dont want so many people spilling their grey water, it would kill all the grass and maybe even poison wildlife. Boon-docking is a totally different story.
Thanks for the tip about that tank! I'll look into that.
The shower hole, I never thought of for my build. Thank you. Such a game changer
I'm so glad it inspired you!
Nice conversion, getting ready to start my CTC. I like the shower idea.
Have fun with your build and thanks for watching!
Absolutely beautiful, oh and the trailer is nice to.
Peace and best of luck.
Enjoyed the tour of your converted cargo trailer. The propane heater is a unique idea, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
Great job showing a functional design for camp living, neat ideas. Love your hair colors. So many good ideas. Thanks keep em coming. Aloha
Mahalos, Marie!
We've got a ctc also. I love that you kept everything simple. Your shower idea is brilliant!! May look into doing something like that! Currently we use an outside shower tent.
Thanks, Happy Place Camping!
nice shower idea, but out in the middle of no where you could also hang that outside off the side of the trailer
Yes! This is why we love this stuff. So many creative and crafty ideas.
I'm really impressed with the functionality of your trailer. It's really helpful to see your set up. Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for the kind comment 😊
I love your dads tips!
Thanks, Shawn!
Thanks for sharing.
We enjoyed building ours it was a lot of fun.
Yes, it is fun and seems to never end! Thanks for watching!
The portable dog bath pool and installing it with a drain plus the curtain for a removable shower area are geniuses. Wow for the shower curtain, Hoola hoop with two shower curtains sewn together🤗🤗👍
Awesome cargo ... Really cool
HOW COOL! Love it!!!
I want to go camping now
Right? We're so spoiled! 😂
Simple & functional
Thank you for sharing yours
Great work.
Awesome job! I see Dad rubbed off on ya!!
Wow. You video popped up on my watch list. When I first started watching, I was wondering if you were related to goneagain. Waalaa, and it is so. That is so neat that your whole family is into ctc. I look forward to watching your videos. I have started on my conversion of a 1995 Wells Cargo 6x12. It is all steel and in near mint condition. It is taking me a while to do this because of my physical challenges. One thing you said made so much sense; keeping it simple. When i started I had these big plans. Now I am off the mind set of simplicity and practicality. Have fun, stay safe and stay healthy.
Hi Beach Bum! Yes, out family loves our ctc's and keeping them simple. I'm learning that less is more! I hope you're able to enjoy your build soon and keep having fun with it! Mahalo for watching!
Wow I love the shower idea
You just got the wheels in my head turning again lol
Thanks!
_Somehow your build came up on my feed, and mahalo nui loa for the tour. I watch your Makua's channel all the time. I know and little som, som, see I grad at St Louis High, not bad for a German Brah!_
Thanks for watching us! And yay for Hawaiʻi grad!
Thanks for sharing I like how you explained everything in a simplistic manner. I think you have a great setup and would not choose anything smaller. I have a 8.5x16 because I take along my motorcycle. I see bunk beds in your future! ROSKO
Nicely done !!!!! I've gotten some ideas for my trailer from talking with your dad.
He's a great help!
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Very nice video. We definitely see a CTC in our future, especially after subscribing to your parents channel. Simple is the way to go for so many reasons. Thanks for sharing.
Hey thanks for commenting and have fun with your future build!
Like father - like daughter. Looks great Becca. ( hope I spelled that right ).
Looking forward to seeing some of your adventures in your cargo camper.
Hope you and your family have a great Christmas.
JT
Merry Christmas, JT!
@@SamuraiMama
Thank you.
Awesome video thanks
Thank you for watching!
I’m glad I found your channel we want to watch your journeys as we watch your mon and dads channel
Thank you! We hope to have some adventures this yr! I appreciate you watching 😊
How about a solar shower that you hook to the ceiling?
Great and clever ideas you have for shower! Thanks for sharing!!! I just found your dad's channel today and stumbled on to yours too!
Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome, thank you for stopping in!
Cool CTC! Nice job on your build!
Mahalos!
Cool trailer its a nice build, love the heater. I'm in the process of my own build. My friend did tell me when he was trying to get a spot to rent they refused him because his cargo trailer did not look like an rv travel trailer. It was a place that had motor homes and coaches. I thought that was not fair.
Yes, the resort type camp grounds like KOA will refuse trailers like ours. But the others usually have no problems and you can also get a tent site and pitch a tent but not necessarily use it. There are ways to get around it. Luckily, we have not yet run into that problem as we like to boondock.
Hi, Samurai Mama & ➕ GoneAgains,, Love Your Parents VideoS.... i Dont Know Where They Get Energy For ALL THOSE WONDErFULL VideoS, BLess The 2022 HoLidayS& BEYOND!. More Cookings PLease 👍.
Nice conversion trying to make mine for a food truck🤙🤙 Aloha
Oooh! Tell me more! What kine food, what size trailer?
randomly found this video I have the same trailer but in a 12x6 vnose...im also converting it...very cool!
Thanks for watching and have fun with your build!
@@SamuraiMama Thanks its been great to have it aluminum sold my truck so now we have a 4runner pulls it great...i watched you other video with your dad and the bed thats smart...my wife wants a bed like that but I want a dinette bed...
@@JesseePDX the great thing about this, is if you don't like it, change it! But there is always the "happy wife, happy life" thing 😂
TFS your ideas but I love the battery box idea best 👍👍👍
Thank you!
Nice
nice job
Thank you!
I do like your trailer👍💕 It was Rick and Linda's idea to come visit your channel🤙
Thanks for coming by!
@@SamuraiMama Actually, I've been a sub of yours for almost a year, so I do come by regularly🤙. This is the first time I've seen your trailer!
Thank you for subbing and watching! I appreciate you!
I special ordered mine with windows and insulation a finished ceiling, saved time and aggravation.
Yes, we ordered with windows but after seeing the many other ctc's with factory installed insulation, we thought it best to do our own. Especially for here in Montana. Gotta make sure it's tight! You're right though, we don't need that extra aggravation lol. So glad we didn't do the windows....
@@SamuraiMama You can check mine out by pressing the green circle. I'm single with a cat and dog .I went farther with my build than most people will. I use a muck tub,hula hoop,shower curtain and pump up jug with the shower head. Simple yes. Happy travels and I also watch your families channel.
I will check it out! I love seeing everyone's builds!
You could put one Ampere Time 200AH battery in that box and get rid of the vents. I have two and have them hooked up to 24V. I know they are expensive, but they should be the last battery you will ever buy, and they are so much better, in so many ways. in full sun, I can run my 6K AC with my set up (864W solar).I have an 8.5X16 I have been working on for three years.
Good video, your dad mentioned you had a channel.
Simple is the best!
It really is. Less is more.
would love to see how you did your tilting solar mount
That's a good suggestion for a future video!
So interesting. We're do you get the magnetic screens for side door and back. Thank you.
Hi Alice! I found the screen for the man door at cvs in their "As Seen TV" section and I've seen it at Walmart. The back screen I found on amazon.
I love the idea to insulate the trailer yourselves! Feel free to check out our conversion as well!
Thank you and I will!
GREAT VID I CAN SEE YOUR DADS INPUT
Yes, he helped us so much!
@@SamuraiMama WHAT KIND OF DRAIN DID YOU USE FOR THE SHOWER AND WERE DID YOU GET IT I SAW IT IN ONE OF YOUR VIDS THANKS
Hi there! It was a kitchen sink drain from Ace Hardware. I think it was 2 or 3 pieces that fit together.
Love the shower drain! What do you use for refrigeration? Did I miss it? I am amassing info for my own build...
Right now we're just using a cooler. And the cooler stays in the back of our Suburban. If you haven't already, check out Gonagain's channel for more ideas. He has solar and a solar fridge/freezer combo. Thanks for watching, Jean!
I like the Simple set up myself but I am the kind of guy that could live in a home made cabin no power oil lamps only wood burning stove. When I do get to camp I love bondocking but will stay in an RV park to see friends that aren't set up for it. I also like to go alone but after 41 years my wife is wanting to go along with me now. I watch your dad's Video's all the time I am subscribed to your channel but for some reason I don't get the notifications when you post something new. I'll have to look into that and see what's going on . We hope your tomorrow is better than your today was.
Thank you for subscribing and watching! I'd check to see if the notification bell is selected. That could be it.
@@SamuraiMama TH-cam does this to me all the time I have to unsub and resub and with luck it'll work if not I'll have to contact youtube again.
The shower is brilliant. I've been thinking about doing something similar in my conversion cargo trailer. Where did you get the floor port and cap for the hole in the floor? Thx.
Hi Joe! Here it is: www.amazon.com/dp/B00MWQ32UA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_H6FlFbM5R8VRC
@@SamuraiMama Thx so much. I'm gonna pick one up. Here's a link to my conversion if you wanna check it out. Loved yours...
th-cam.com/video/eWfgJcYKh-M/w-d-xo.html
Great video. I believe you said your father’s page was Gone Again. I have been unable to narrow it down from all of the results. Could you please add a link?
Yes, I have links in the description! Thanks for watching!
Nice setup! any idea how much it weights all loaded up? thanks
We've never weighed it and I would like to know. We've kept it light and simple, but I'm curious myself.
Watch your dad's channel and subscribed to yours. Looking at the same size trailer, what is the ball park figure for that size 7×14? Thank you
Ours is a 2016 and we paid about $6k brand new with the windows and top vent installed. My sister's 6x10 was $3,700 she just picked it up this summer from a different dealer and it's a different brand.
@@SamuraiMama Thank you for the reply, we have Reed trailers in Omaha and that seems to be the going rate for that size and quality. Take care
I like the idea of the minimalist interior, but I would have added lightweight cabs to hide the clutter. In addition, I dig the abundant tank top hottie! Lol!...
We kept the walls clear so we could haul an atv. So that was on purpose. Needed the head space! Thanks for watching!
@@SamuraiMama 12 in. deep kitchen cabs work well. I watch Goneagain all the time..
Yes, that would! Something to consider for the future. That's why we love our CTC. We can change it up as we need! We already have to rebuild the beds to accommodate the kiddos. That's the next project...
Sorry to have so many questions. I noticed you have your trailer wheels on some sort of casters and I can't find what that is. Could you tell me the name of those wheels under your trailer wheels?
Yes! Stark Set of (4) Wheel Dolly Car Skates Vehicle Positioning Hydraulic Tire Jack Truck Rv Trailer Pick Up Dolly Ratcheting Foot Pedal, 1500LBS: amzn.to/3goUYrW
Very nice..!
I found your channel through your dad's channel.
Question.. You mention at 3:00 minutes that you did a custom order from Stealth, made here in Montana. I'm looking at doing my own custom build and I cannot find where Stealth builds trailers in Montana.
Could you please provide the contact information for the Stealth facility in Montana?
Thanks. ..
Hi there! We ordered from a local dealer here, XB Trailer Sales. (406) 552-1515. But at the time, there was a factory in Bonner MT outside Missoula. Not sure if they're still there. I hope so!
@@SamuraiMama
Thanks for the info.. I appreciate it!
:-)
Any idea of what your trailer weighs when your towing it?
Hi there, I estimate we're at about 2200 lbs total.
I appreciate your video but it would be incredibly useful to know where you got that floor hatch for draining out the shower and how you built on the shower drain on the dog bath. thank you! I just found where you answered a question with the link to the product. Maybe you could go up to the description section of the video and put it up there so other people won't ask the same question again.
Hi there! Here is the link to the floor hatch www.amazon.com/dp/B00MWQ32UA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_H6FlFbM5R8VRC
As far as how we added the drain, we cut a hole with an exacto knife, siliconed in a sink drain that we picked up from our local Ace. I've had others ask about this in more detail and it might be best if I post another brief video on the shower itself and show these things closer up. But until then, I hope this is helpful!
Thank you so much. Is there a video on how to recreate your dog bath drain? I've also watched your father's Channel!
@@musiholictara i don't know of any showing one being made as this was an idea I thought of and did without direction lol. And yay! I'm glad you watch Gonagain. He's my hero.
@@SamuraiMama wow! I wish I could have made that without directions. Awesome job and awesome idea!
🤙
What you guys did for toilet
Hi there! We have a composting toilet set up similar to the one in this video. th-cam.com/video/jWB0JEF-jwg/w-d-xo.html
What brand is that heater?
Hi there! It's Nu-Way. They're made in Michigan and there's a wood burning version as well. These are made for ice fishing shacks/hunting camps/work shops etc.
It's a great conversion but it isn't stealth if you have Windows and propane tank on it
Stealth is the brand not the style of camping. Thanks!
@@SamuraiMama sounds good my misunderstanding, I fucked up
What was the cost of a aluminum trailer
We paid about $6k in 2016 from the dealer.
Aloha SamuraiMama,
You mention that your Stealth Trailer was "built here in Montana". I want to make sure I am looking at the same product as yours. I am looking at a Stealth Trailer website that indicates a contact address in Bristol, Indiana (www.stealthtrailer.com/contact/) - understandably - this is not the manufacturing address. The logo on the website is slightly different than the logo on your trailer. I just want to make certain I am looking at the correct manufacturer.
Can you confirm? Also, do you recall the particular trailer model your 7x14 is? The website I am looking at have v-noses that are not squared off like yours.
Thanks for your help! Subscribed.🤗👍
Mahalo
Hi there! Mine is a 2016 CargoPro Stealth Lite. I think the model name has changed since but I found this trailer that has the same features as ours and shows they are still being made in Montana. www.trailers-autos.com/default.asp?page=xInventoryDetail&id=6006652&p=1&make=stealth&ac=enclosed%7Ccargo&s=Year&d=D&vt=trailer&fr=xAllInventory#
Hope this helps and thank for the sub!
@@SamuraiMama Thanks so much for your prompt reply! Could you share your purchasing experience with me? Were you able to negotiate? Purchased manufacturer direct? or through a dealer? Apologies for all the questions...... information is gold!
We bought from a dealer and custom ordered ours because we wanted the windows and vent installed and also ordered with a ramp door. I think we had a little wiggle room with the price but not much. At the time, it took about 3 weeks to get our trailer delivered.
how much did the trailer cost you?
When we bought it brand new with the windows installed, back in 2016, we paid about 5600. Maybe 6k. It's an all aluminum, we chose the thicker siding too.
That batteries location is way too close to the fireplace
I follow your parents on TH-cam
Thank you and thank you for stopping in here!
Yea like you are draining your biodegradable shampoo and soap I doubt it
Thanks for watching!
Please change your name. All else great
Huh?
I feel this design is just thrown together, the shower is just absolutely awful. The hole in the floor is where I turned this off - as campers like this is why the cargo/rv community is frowned upon! As an engineer, I would really advise anyone to rethink the propane stove without the proper clearance and firewalls on the side as such, big NO NO not to mention the fact where’s the other emergency exits? Y’all were warned.
We have a very large emergency exit, thank you! Thankfully I built this for my family and not yours. Don't watch these frowned upon videos, if you feel that way. Thank you!
I don't understand why TH-cam doesn't have a BLOCK BUTTON for jerks like this.
