    Another Great Video!That A/C track with noodles is GENIUS! I was just thinking about an A/C wall unit last night but couldn't figure out how to keep the condensation and heat out! I may have to start off in my VAN before I can get the trailer. I was going to build a false wall in my van but I think that track system would be perfect! Thank you for sharing your Cargo Conversion! It's always fun watching the creativity and learning new ideas. Looks like the knee replacements went well (seem to be standing and walking ok 🙂). I've Been in a wheelchair waiting for both of mine (total knee replacement) since 2019! It's been a long wait but of course, had I not had so much down time, I probably never would have spent such an enormous amount of time watching TH-cam videos where I never would have found the whole "cargo conversion community". It all worked out. God has perfect timing and it never seems to be inline with my impatience😁. Thanks again for sharing your CC. GOD IS GOOD, JESUS IS LORD, SALVATION IS AVAILABLE TO ALL WHO REPENT.

    @patrickmckowen2999 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very nice build. I got an Aluminium 7x16 and at 1870lbs empty I am hoping to keep no more than 3500lbs when done max, lighter if I can. My max tow is 4k with my Maverick, 10% rule would be 400lbs tongue. Worried about tongue weight as it seems lots of folks seem to build a lot of weight into the front as it is the most practical place to put lots of stuff. Lots of things to think about this winter for the build next year.
    Cheers

    • @billanddeb
      @billanddeb  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      In addition, cargo trailers will start out with a heavier tongue weight than a traditional RV, because Cargo Trailers have the axle center line further back at 60%. They do that because, typically a cargo trailer will be hauling a car, or lawnmower equipment, or a motorcycle, side by side etc towards the back.

    WoW very impressed Tommy...beautiful craftsmanship. I have a 6x10 WeeRoll single axle trailer that l equipped. Had to stay small with my towing capability n budget. Mine's a little rougher but vy comfortable. My spouse can no longer camp cause of back issues. I was struck by the mention of camping around folks to not be so lonely. Can you elaborate more on that as it sounds interesting?

      We haven't been posting a calendar of events yet, mainly because the "Rendezvous" are still in their infant stage, and the turnouts for these events have surprised both me and Deb. For the foreseeable future, these events will be held at US ARMY CORP OF ENGINEER campgrounds and we will announce dates and locations 6 months in advance. COE campgrounds will only let you reserve a spot 6 months in advance. We are considering a few campgrounds around Central Alabama sometime in October. We will be announcing the location and dates sometime around the end of April to first of May. For now, all we can suggest is,,,,,,, stay tuned to the channel. 😁

      He didn't say, but most likely the hatch was installed at the manufacturer. Hatches like that are readily available. Rock Solid is very accommodating concerning extras like this. They'll provide and install most any door, window, Hatch pretty much wherever you want it.
