- In this video we give everyone a full tour of our Chuckwagon camper that we converted from a 6’ x 12’ cargo trailer. We are all set up for a Weekend Getaway to DC Roger’s Lake in central Missouri.
I love it! You're so creative and everything is practical.
Thanks
We enjoyed seeing the tour. I like the back canopy and the chuck wagon part in the back. Great job on the build!
We love the easy set up and take down. I think the only disadvantage is always dealing with all weather conditions in order to cook.
❤❤❤ The chuck wagon kitchen area. Ima cast iron cook, too! Best cooking EVER! Yourbuild is inspiring as we just got our trailer, bout the same size. Happy times!❤❤❤❤
Nice build. Hope you enjoy it.
Thanks! We love it!
Thank you for taking the time during packup to physically show the camper conversion in Long Branch. I have been on the fence for so long looking at doing something like it. Best of luck with your future endeavors. Ill see if i can find the video of a backwall on hinges in case you may not have seen it yet. It may help inspire your antique side by side project build. I hope we cross paths again as I would love to see that fruition.
This video was what i was referencing as a wall, but able to make way and still use trailer space.

You are welcome. We both love meeting and visiting with the people that we see while camping. Hope things go well if you decide to build a camper conversion.
When I saw your rig last year, I thought it was awesome. Looking forward to seeing it again this year.
Can't wait! We are both looking forward to our trip to see you this Fall.
Nice job guys love the floor
Thanks, we love it too.
Great trailer! Always nice to build what you need... My 4x6x5 v-nose toy hauler-camper-theater more compact than yours. I added 48x68 Diamond plate front deck plus roof rack and rear hitch rack, Extra room for 2KW Inv-Gen, LP bottles, Solar pnl, Awning and Toys! 3 cabinets hold cooking equip. and the 24"TV/entertainment ctr. Tri-fold sofa-bed rides in car when hauling the motorcycle; 5K BTU AC, elec heat and induction cooktop all run off solar and inverter. Thinking about a folding room pinned onto my ramp that will be outside galley and more inside space. It will tie down on the front deck. Pulling it with a 1.8L Scion XD averages about 24mpg
Thanks, John, for the comment and some information about your camper build. It is fun being about to build a camper exactly the way you want it.
@@PoleHouseBlackPots I've been 7 mos on mine and still not completely finished. I'm beginning to think It may never be finished... I keep thinking of things to add or change...
A never ending job!
@@PoleHouseBlackPots You're right! After buying the generator 2 weeks ago, now I need a carrier for LP bottles, Thinking about a 5-gal gas can for the bike and/or car. And a kayak on top of the luggage rack would be fun too... I'll end up with the only 3,000 lb 4x6 on the planet! lol
Yep Angel wants to add a rack on top for a off road tent for Lesley.
Awsome job great explaining everything. Happy Camping
Thanks for watching! If you wish to see another video showcasing the back canopy, check out " Deer Ridge Conservation Area - Part 2 that we aired earlier this spring.
Great walk thru, this trailer looks awesome. Seems to me y'all thought of eveything.🤘
We love it. As usual, we would change a few things if we ever built another one. Thanks for the comment!
Good job on that camper!
Thanks, we camp in it year around.
Lots of good info. But it was a little hard to hear cause of the music while you were talking. Thanks
Sorry about that. We will try to catch that on future videos. Thanks for watching!
The chuck wagon kitchen is awesome! I agree 100° about being outside. If you are camping who wants to be stuck inside building up more heat. Angel, could the bed be raised so under bed storage bins could slide beneath? Put a piece of carpet/rug and they should slide easily. Thank you so much for sharing. Yall could always install a fan/vent in ceiling, crack open the side window and you would have a nice breeze. Some have covers so they can remain open even in the rain. The inside is for sleeping and taking care of business. Thanks one more time and again I LUV THE KITCHEN SETUP! Happy camping, be safe and God's blessings.
Thank you for your detailed comment. We considered under the bed plastic tubs. As of now we have the solar charger for the camper battery, a 6 foot folding table, 2 burner camp stove and a plastic tub with extra bedding. it seems to work well. The only issue with the "out back" chuck area is cooking in increment weather.
Should you change out your AC and put a mini, much quieter and they're not that expensive. And they're pretty simple to install. Also you have a great setup and you did a nice job putting it together..
Not a bad idea
Just a suggestion...don't add music. Music interferes with your comments! Take it off,,,please,.
Thanks, we will keep that in mind.
You are very creative. I didn't see a bed though. Did I miss it?
No you didn't. Somehow, in our great wisdom, we failed to video the futon. It is full size with above 18" on one side to get into bed. We can set it up and have enough room for a small table. It also has enough space under it for a 6" folding table, a 200 amp portable solar panel, and a 2 burner propane cook stove.
nice. I am very happy for you. You are living my dream. enjoy every moment@@PoleHouseBlackPots
Nice rig , I am slowly getting ours done. You live in the same state as Happy Place Camping
nice to meet you neighbor.
Nice Job.... I am in the process of converting an 8x16 v-nose cargo trailer into an RV and Mobile Sign Shop. I am just starting the walls and cabinet construction. I just sold a 15-passenger shuttle bus that I lived in for 3 years and traveled out west during the winters. I had to sell the shuttle bus because I purchased a large format color printer to make contour cut decals/stickers, koozies, t-shirts, magnetics, banners, mousepads, etc. The large format color printer would have taken up a lot of storage space so I needed to get something bigger. I did a complete conversion series on the shuttle bus from the ground up and now am doing a new series on the cargo trailer conversion. They are on my YT channel.
Thanks. We would be glad to check out your conversion and good luck on the current one. They are lots of work. On a side note, I recently purchased a 1926 Ford Model T and are going to build a complete wooden cab and flat bed for it,
@@PoleHouseBlackPots that sounds ike a lot of fun... good luck with that build, I will be looking forward to seeing it
Please NO music
Love your camper
Thanks for your suggestion and for watching.
Pretty cool.
Thanks! It is fun to camp with.
This is awesome ❤
Glad you liked it.
Put a cute cover and cushion over the POTTY and have a chair.
Nice idea, thanks!
I am currently building my cargo trailer and have nothing going they the roof/ceiling so that I don’t have to worry about leaks. You have lots of good ideas. I would like to have more information & close up pictures of your awning and how it is attached to your CTC.
We would love to get you some closeup photos of the awning. however, it will have to wait a few weeks until we set it up again. Thanks for watching and good luck on your camper.
@@PoleHouseBlackPots No problem waiting for you to set it up again. Thank You so much.
Well this last trip we didn't set it up because MI has a lot of wend. will get picts soom.
@@PoleHouseBlackPots Tree hank You so much for the pictures. I think I will give it a try on my Cargo Camper.
Really like your canopy…
It comes in handy
@@PoleHouseBlackPots anyway to get a little detail on your center piece of the canopy?
We added a pvc T in the middle, a 6" pipe down and another T with a split in the bottom so we can slide the ratchet strap through it and then ratchet up to arch the top. Hope this explains it enough.
Please watch our latest video where we give a more detailed view of the canopy: Deer Ridge Conservation Area.
I have a question and it's just coming out of me needing to learn.
It looks all your weight is in the back, I was told all the weight is in the front ..... Which one is it.?
True, there is quite a bit of weight in the back. However, we added the LP tank, a deep cycle battery, a wooden dresser and our coolers full of food and drinks in the front. It all seems to balance out ok. Thanks for the question and for watching the video.
Love your galley area! Is your trailer all aluminum?
Yes it is!
Where do y'all sleep
Great question. In our attempt to show you all of our camper, we failed to show the futon in the front part. We can easily set it up into a couch, so we have room for a small table and two chairs. Thanks for watching!
The music was way too loud and very distracting. Had to turn off the volume.
Sorry, we have toned down the music in our newer videos. We hope you enjoyed the rest.
Music dog yap WHY.
Sorry! The dog yap was from our 3 month old puppy. Thanks for watching.
I can tell that she’s the dominant in their relationship 🤣🤣
You are correct!
