- This is a One-of-a-Kind Cargo Trailer to Cozy Camper Conversion.
It has a beautiful salvaged wood interior, a unique floor plan and a cute tiny home vibe!
Built by Randall of RouteArrows.com, artist and former contractor, in ~20 months.
This video slideshow shows the entire process from start to finish, how he creatively utilized salvaged materials and west coast old growth wood to transform a 6 x 10’ cargo trailer into a warm and cozy camper.
Some of the many unique features are:
The Vaulted Roof with Overhangs
The Bed Location and Shape
The Use of Old Growth Doug Fir and Redwood
The Rear Door Removable “Tent Wall”
The Goal Zero Battery Power Source
The Decorative and One-of-a-Kind Light Fixtures
The Mounted Bike Repair Station

Very cool!! Nice to see something Very different. The vaulted ceiling,,,, AWSOME!!!!!
Yes, thanks for that comment, it was a main goal of mine to do something Very different!
As you can see the the video, it was not that hard to do and it looks and feels so much better than the original Stubby Phone Booth!
I love the wood paneling and the way the bed is fitted makes the space feel open.
Loved helping my dad with this build, truly is a beautiful piece of art!
I've watched a lot of conversations but I've never seen anyone raise a roof on one! I don't even know it was possible to do! Amazing build you & your daughter & nephew achieved ! TY for sharing! ❤️ Your beautiful build 🙂
Thank you Debbie, it was a fun build and very satisfying too. I was also puzzled that in all the conversion videos I found, nobody else has raised or altered the roof. It was not very hard to do and it really adds to the function and aesthetic qualities. If you are interested in doing you own build and want to consider a roof rebuild, I'd be happy to share some pointers. And if you are ever in the Silicon Valley area and want to see the trailer just let me know through my website.☺ Ps, is this the cyclist friend of Emanuel?
@@RandallBeee 🙂I'm sorry I don't know Emauel I but Thank You very much for the reply & offer! So very kind of you 🙂
Simpli Amazing
Father & daughter & family, what a great, beautiful achievement!
Awesome Build
This is awesome. Thank you for sharing.
Such a cool video!
Hi I was wondering how you mounted the rafters to the trailer
Hello Josh, I briefly noted that method about minute 3 on the video. I used small Simpson "hurricane ties" and screws to attach the ends of the rafters onto the steel angel metal at the top of the walls and then wood blocks with lots of adhesive, the white stuff seen in video. The 1/2" roofing plywood also adds lots of strength as it is screwed and glued onto the rafters and the steel around the top perimeter of the trailer frame, seen painted black to prevent any future rust. One thing I should have done at this phase, is to square the trailer frame and walls, by measuring corner to corner, and pulling or pushing as needed to make it square. My trailer was off by about 1/2" but I didn't discover that until I was doing the roofing plywood. Not a huge deal, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist. I also set the rafters at 12" on center, not 16" as in conventional framing, which adds even more strength. The roof is set at a 20 degree pitch, which was easy to work with when cutting the angles.
What were the general cost?
Hello David, not including the short-term warehouse rental, I spent a bit under $8000, which includes the Goal Zero power station and new tires. I already had the RTIC cooler for car camping, but it's included as well. Most of the building materials, plywood, insulation, etc. I acquired at the local Big-Box stores, but I had all the copper I used for accents and lots of fastener hardware too. I also had all the needed power and hand tools, so no expenses in that area either.
This is awesome. Thank you for sharing.
