I’m so happy to have found your channel. I’ve had a 5x8 Cargo Craft Offroad Toy Hauler for many joyful years, prior to recently selling it due to it being too narrow to backup easily due to my latest upgraded wider RV. But not to worry, Cargo Craft is currently making its replacement, new 8.5x12 w/7’ ceiling tandem Offroad Toy Hauler. Fair Winds.
@@ForeignerDanielmain - I decided to omit an aircon on top. I’m exploring your vids, hoping to see how you installed the mini-split on the tongue. Liking the leak-fixing and solar rack adventures. So far, lots of eye candy to incorporate into my new trailer project.
I didn’t film the build process unfortunately. We had 6 weeks to do the whole thing, so time was tight. I decided to run the mini split HVAC lines up through the floor instead of putting a hole in the front wall. That’s worked really well for us, but bending the copper lines to make that entry was very difficult. Couldn’t pay me enough to do that again. Luckily my wife is a lot more patient than me 😂
Nice video, thanks for sharing. I came across it while looking for TAB 400 related videos, the trailer your friends have. May I ask where in Lake Mead NRA that boondock spot is where you camped? Nice spot.
It was towards the North side of Lake Mead right prior to the road that leads to Valley of Fire. A little confusing at first because it the road to it goes through residential/vacation homes but it opens up to a ton of camping spots and close to the entrance to the camping there are bathrooms.
Valley of Fire State Park, a bit northeast of Vegas. Specifically, I think it was on the trail a bit past the "fire wave", which is a pretty big attraction there. Not many people continue on the trail after the fire wave, but that was the coolest part.
It only costs $15 to go hiking where we did. We didn't pay for an expensive RV park (we've actually never staid at an RV park). We own our truck + trailer outright, which we were able to do because we sold our house. What you see there is everything I own in the world. And if I spent $250k on a cargo trailer, then I'm doing something pretty wrong lol. Of course it costs money to travel (gas, food, insurance, etc.). But you don't have to spend thousands to experience the places we go. There's people out here doing everything we do but in a 30 year old car. The point is you can go to these places on a tight budget. And if that's still not an option, then my hope is the videos I make will be able to let others travel with me from wherever they are.
Valley of Fire-one of my favorite places! I always recommend it and it does not disappoint. Glad you went! Happy and Safe travels!
Wish I had caught sunrise there. Our friends camped one night at their RV campground and said it was well worth it. And cheap.
Thank you 🙏 for sharing your thoughts & experiences.

Nice! You’ll love that extra width and length.

all using Starlink.
😆 Yep! We both need it for remote work. There were a lot of Starlinks in that area from all sorts of campers.
Travel on 15$ budget. Proceeds to show a Jeep that costs 60k and a trailer that costs 250k.
