Wow, I mean, just wow. Like how your mind works, the organization, the attention to details, the practicality of weight reduction, and especially the colors. OMG, the colors! This proves that you dont have to exist in bland wood tones. What I noted was how the gloss finishes really help to bounce the light around making it look light and airy. You hit all my goals- minimize weight, open, uncluttered while colorful. Such an exciting change from the shabby chic or wood hunting lodge that is so common on YT. Have to admit sir that I will be referencing your video when my build begins. You hit it out of the park.
Glad you liked it. Curious to see your build with all the ideas you have in mind. It would be great if you could share photos or videos of your build process. Thanks for the positive feedback.
I watch a lot of cargo - to- campervan videos and yours is one of the best. The others seem so crowded with cabinets sticking out at the top and hardly any space to walk. You achieved your goal, it truly looks open and airy and spacious. And the Moroccan colors and themes are very beautiful. Congratulations on creating a livable work of art!
Couple great ideas haven't seen that I recall... the floor vent w/computer fan and the 2 fans mounted near the windows to help control air flow. Also the plywood > paint > epoxy surfaces look very nice, cheers
This video just populated in my TH-cam feed, in late Dec. 2022... I was delighted to view it! The attention to detail, and the extraordinary result is a pleasure to behold! Congratulations on this beautiful travel home you've created. I'm sure many are envious of this lovely space you've created for your travels. 👍🌟☸
The design took months of planning. My strategy was to build around the equipments and the appliances. Meaning, I bought everything first like the fridge, the sinks the water tank and created a fit design for them. Thanks for watching.
Excellent! The best video I have seen on a cargo trailer conversion. Great design, fabrication, installation and usage of every square inch of space. Job well done! Love this trailer!
Why visit Morocco when I could just run into you on the road. Your meticulous attention to details really shows in this fantastic use of materials, color, and space. Thank you for such a detailed tour.
I absolutely love what you did with this conversion! I've been inspired by this video like I have not been with any other. What you've done with your project is exactly what I've envisioned with mine. Thank you and God bless you. May all your travels be filled with blessings and happiness.
You did a nice job of integrating Moroccan design into your interior and fitting all the amenities in a small floor plan. You came up with several creative solutions to ventilation and storage. Well done sir.
Thank you for the idea of adding the Ryobi battery charger to the power setup. I hadn't thought of doing this, even though I have 120VAC and 12VDC Ryobi battery chargers.
Deeply impressed! The detail is great, and finally someone who’s determined to restrict weight (as a European I’m always befuddled by the American tendency to use real tiles and drive those kilo’s around….) And finally ;-) in the Netherlands we sometimes say "I’m sitting on the throne", and here there’s people who really make it look like one ;-)
I like the Moroccan aesthetic. It reminds me of the time that I stayed in Casablanca, Fez, and Taza for over a month. One day I'd like to return. I really like what you did with that vent hole in the floor.
This is my favorite cargo van build so far! The lay out and design is well thought out. This has given me so many ideas for when/if I do this. Curtains instead of doors is definitely a big help with weight and expense.
Dear friend: Thank you sooooo much for sharing your incredible cargo trailer build! You are the closest thing I've found so far to what is similar to what I've got and what I'm looking to achieve. I am so grateful to find you! I'm a 60 yr. old woman with some technical, mechanical, artistic, and woodworking skills looking to achieve a build like yours. You really impressed me with your work and design details, specially with the important systems you put together. KUDOS!!! My trailer is only 6'x11' by 6-6" high with V-nose too. My dream is to use my trailer for multipurpose - - for emergency, for my work as a multimedia photographer and drone pilot. I desire to also boondock like you've done and be very comfortable like a mini home and office away from home. I sure would love to request your assistance if that is possible concerning your electrical, solar and plumbing details, particularly to begin my shopping list of parts. I do have some electronics background also to be able to execute what you've done, but seeking more advanced guidance in this area of a solar system setup. Would really appreciate your consideration. I would love to start with the list of things to buy for the solar and electrical components. Thank you again, and I hope to meet your acquaintance. Great job on your channel!!! 😊❤😊
Would you mind doing a deep dive video of the construction details and build material that you did to the trailer to make it livable? Thank you for showing, it is beautiful.
@@trailhouse9706 Your very welcome unfortunately for me I cannot drive and to old now but I love to see how others build their own trailer homes or in vans what ever thank you so much for sharing take care
Very well thought out. I don't have a trailer anymore, but putting small fans near a window is something I still do even in my house. I'm not a fan of the colors, but it's tastefully done looks like you thought of almost everything. That's how I would've done my bathroom, too, with a circular curtain and some kind of tub to step into, if I ever decide to build one. I don't like using curtains under counters, but you made it work and I'll have to remember that. : ) I like the spacious feel, too.
Man please let me know if you are interested in selling this trailer.. It is by far the very best I have seen. I have a 6 by 12 that I am seriously thinking about converting one day. But after seeing this one, I would much rather just buy this from you if you are interested in selling it. You really thought this over before you built it. It's like you built it just for me. I love it. 10 thumbs up.
This is amazing! I want to tow behind my car so this is the Max size I'm looking for... and you've done the most amazing job! Ok finishing the video and you just said it's 6x12 I understand how you have do much space! I thought you said 6x8!
Wow! I love your build. Do you do this for others? If not, jus know I will be stealing some of your ideas if I go this route....lol. Thanks for sharing with us.
I plan on making more videos to highlight all the steps of the build including the blueprints. These days I am extremely busy with my business but I'll start soon hopefully. Thanks for watching
@@trailhouse9706 I look forward to seeing your next videos. You are such an inspiration and I absolutely love your build. It’s so stylish and I’m looking forward to do something similar. You have great ideas.
Thank you. I decided to stop making videos due to my busy schedule but I have been asked lately to post more videos. I am considering getting back on TH-cam again. Glad you liked my content.
Your build is so nice and functional. I love how you used curtains instead of doors. Where did you buy the cabinets? I'm in the process of buying a cargo trailer and converting it and those cabinets would be perfect for my build!
Thank you. I purchased the cabinets from Ikea. They are called Trones shoe/storage cabinets. They are sold in a set of two. Good luck with your build. Keep me posted.
So impressed with your design! It is so stylish & practical at the same! Do you have a kind of template for your build? I am sure I am not the only one who would like to order one?Thank you for the video!
@@trailhouse9706 Yes, where did you get that cabinet at the back of the trailer with the tip out drawers? th-cam.com/video/Z86D5h9XCMg/w-d-xo.html Thanks.
One of your points you emphasised was keeping weight down - what was the before and after? One of my a main concerns is tongue weight. I am thinking of doing movable counter tops/kitchen to put the weight back over the wheels during travelling. This will also help me serve me to convert it back to cargo to hall my aircraft back and forth from the airfield and other cargo hauling stuff when no camping. Cheers
The trailer weighed 1200 lbs before the conversion. It is now less than 1800 lbs. Regarding the dual functionality of your trailer, I suggest you move the kitchen to the nose keep it permanent and light due to its many components especially if you plan on having running water which I strongly recommend. You can keep the TV side with the vertical storage and the water tank sitting on the axle. This will reduce the width of the trailer by only 10 inches. You can keep the bed on the other side like mine for weight distribution but make it removable. I remove my bed to use my trailer to haul things as well, but you will have more cargo space. I hope all goes well. Thx
Fantastic build; I'm most curious about the fan in the floor and I've decided to do the same, but what is that called? What's the diameter? I bought 2 of those same computer fans already but am keen on how to search for the PVC hardware. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks for sharing!
Not sure if anyone has answered you yet. I too like that idea and will probably incorporate it in my tramper. I believe… I have seen these in another video for a guy who does ice fishing (or something like that???). So anyway, I’m thinking I’ll look in a he big box sporting good stores and see what I find. Now a screen would have to be figured out… but that should be easy enough. Hope this helps you, my mind is racing also to figure this out😅!
@@scottsimpkins350 I'll be looking forward to your findings! I'm just a tad surprised he didn't list it in his caption, as I'm sure it was hard for him to find in the first place. I picked up a standard screw-cap that would be perfect if it had a screen and was flush mounted, along with a 3" screen trap that has no flange, so I can use both together to somewhat duplicate the effect, but it requires installing it and screwing it in every time and it isn't flush mounted. I have yet to drill the hole in the floor yet, but I'm also installing a 1 inch thick rubber cattle stall floor (available in 6 ft by 4 ft, three pieces together will fill the main floor in a 6x12 cargo trailer, with some trimming) and I want to make sure I have that finished before I work on the hole, which will be permanent.
@@dondep hope your build is going well! I’m planning mine, and want to add a floor vent as well; search for Beckson marine deck plate covers I’m pretty sure that’s what he used, need to customize w screens of course
@@mertonallowicious Great tip, thanks! Bookmarked a few just now. Some time ago I picked up a 4" screw-cap, but it wasn't flush enough. However, I've now started to put in 1- inch thick rubber cattle-stall flooring, which has given me another inch to deal with. Waiting for enough warm weather to finish installing it to determine my final plan. I think what I got is intended for a dryer vent or some plumbing terminus but at least the thing I got has a screen in it. I actually got one screw cap, and then one insert that has the screen in it. This looks like a much better option if a screen can be fashioned that is sturdy enough, aside from the fact that it might be too flush with the flooring that I have. Still a work-in-progress.
This has got to be my favorite cargo trailer conversion. Do you have any issues with weight distribution for towing? I saw someone say it takes them a long time to move things around so it will tow properly which makes it great when staying in one spot but a pain to pack up and move constantly. Also is dealing with a black water tank really a huge hassle for people? I’m kind of treating that as a necessity considering the specific people I’d like to take with me. Draining a tank with a hose seems way more desirable to me than manually dumping everything constantly.
Thank you.. The weight distribution is not an issue for me as it was a very important step of the design process. I used my engineering background in Supply Chain and Logistics to eliminate any design flaws. My trailer is so well balanced that I don't even feel it behind me at higher speed. It's not rocket science but it should be taken into consideration from the start. Just buy most of your heavy items and design your camper around them. Most people do the opposite. It's not a house where things come standards like appliances, toilets...etc. My two heaviest items are the bed and the fresh water tank and they sit on each side of the axle. The center of my trailer is empty and everything is near the side walls for a great counter balance when taking curves or avoiding a collision and I really don't do any packing. As far as the black tank. I did not want one. From experience, It is a hassle to handle and they all smell no matter what they claim. It's not fun to store and travel with poop smoothy. The black tank gets used couple of minutes a day. On the other hand, the Grey tank gets used all day to cook, clean and shower while protecting the environment. I use a modified portable dry toilet used by the military with horse pellets for both number 1 and 2 at the same time and move the bag to a 5 gallon sealed bucket outside the camper. I hope I answered your questions and thank you again for watching my video. Good luck with your build
The bed sleeps 2 medium size adults comfortably. Will make a video of the bed in the future. Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any questions.
This is by far the best conversion I have ever seen. What a gorgeous trailer. ❤❤❤ . Congratulations
Thanks. I'm glad you liked the conversion.

Very nice. And sticking with12’ or less you have a single axle so you do not need brakes on your trailer.
I agree. I prefer single axle.
Fantastic - so many great ideas - saving this one to my favorites to come back to and review for ideas when I do my conversion.

It's not rocket science but it should be taken into consideration from the start. Just buy most of your heavy items and design your camper around them. Most people do the opposite. It's not a house where things come standards like appliances, toilets...etc. My two heaviest items are the bed and the fresh water tank and they sit on each side of the axle. The center of my trailer is empty and everything is near the side walls for a great counter balance when taking curves or avoiding a collision and I really don't do any packing. As far as the black tank. I did not want one. From experience, It is a hassle to handle and they all smell no matter what they claim. It's not fun to store and travel with poop smoothy. The black tank gets used couple of minutes a day. On the other hand, the Grey tank gets used all day to cook, clean and shower while protecting the environment. I use a modified portable dry toilet used by the military with horse pellets for both number 1 and 2 at the same time and move the bag to a 5 gallon sealed bucket outside the camper. I hope I answered your questions and thank you again for watching my video. Good luck with your build
I'm so gonna be copying a lot of this! May I ask how many does your bed sleep. I would love to see the bed as the bed and if I can get 2 people in it
The bed sleeps 2 medium size adults comfortably. Will make a video of the bed in the future. Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any questions.
good morning, I was interested in the black two-part epoxy you used on the countertops. Where where did you purchase it and what was the brand name?
Hi, I purchased the epoxy from Home Depot. I applied it after I painted the counter top with exterior black paint.
@@trailhouse9706 thanks
Where did you purchase the dimmable Moroccan dimmer switch?
Wow‼️‼️‼️
Did show the use of the shower.
Briefly but I'll make a detailed video showing the shower in use.
Who is this guy? Wow.
