I am using the same receiver system (x2) to make the ENTIRE tongue frame removable all the way to the body of the trailer. It will separate and stow inside my van when we depart .
Definitely, towing smaller is better than larger; if compatible with one's comfort zone. Some great ideas in this vid. The anti-theft measures are a very sad reflection of the reality of life in the USA.
I don't ever want to go camping again in my life. I spent plenty of time in a tent in Afghanistan. I want my trailer to travel in for recreation and travel in comfort.
A beautiful couple with a wonderful conversion. Thank goodness for Amazon. Enjoy your adventures and happy travels. From Lorraine in Toronto, Australia
You guys did a fantastic job on this camper from the removable hich to the heat and air I watched it twice and still saw things I missed!! The video and the questions were very well done thanks to all of was a pleasure to watch!
What a wonderful group of people, enjoying life with their own innovations built into a cargo trailer. Life at its finest, being happy and finding joy through their travels. Memories abound!
I love her hack of the hanging shoe thing for her paper plates and silverware, genius!! Also like the murphy bed with the fold down table! Nice trailer build with a lot of good ideas! Thanks Jan, Johnny, Deb and Bill. Blessings ~Sidney
Neat people. Seems all the good folk have hit the freedom road. Am 77 and would love it but feel doing it alone w neuropathy not a choice now. They are quite the role models with great ideas. Love induction too. Is one burner next to my gas top stove.
"Were not camping....were driving to the next campground" another gem of a camper trailer! Gotta love this lifestyle just hitch up and go! The creativity that goes into these campers are awesome! Makes me want to keep changing mine up a little lol...
Love these video's. I get so many great ideals. I plan on doing a truck this fall and a trailer most likely next year. Love the Murphy bed set up and table.
I'm a retired Home Builder and you got me thinking maybe some mind of screen house to set upon the deck area... Maybe I can make it so it sets up & floss up quickly & easily, and fairly reasonable so everyone can afford one. It could extend time spent on the deck... Hmmm
Did I miss how they get up on the patio? Do they have steps on either side? Love the open back door. They have the windows covered. but there's tons of light beaming in from the patio. Adorable, practical layout. I love the galvanize on the countertop. Very safe. Safety first! I would put a self closing net on the patio opening too. Cute couple.
Thank you for sharing, I have looked at a lot of builds and this one is great. The bed set up is out of the box thinking. I hope you all are safe and having a great time.
GREAT VIDEO , You both seem so happy. Enjoying that life . I wish you the very best. that was my wife & my dream. LIIKE YOU Said don't wait I retired at 61 yrs old . a day after, my wife became VERY ILL. So dream never happen. we had a 35ft trailer. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH. I look forward to your videos wrong video. I meant February 24 THIS was also good
Sorry for your loss of your wife. I hope you find happiness going forward. Perhaps you can still go out on the road as you will meet the nicest people on your journeys. Blessings to you.
One of my favorites so far and I've looked at a lot of them. Nicely done. Simply OUTSTANDING! Very snug and personal. Love the bed system. Safe travels to you both.
Thank you!. I've since added two air struts to the bed to help Jan have xxx an easier time lifting the bed up. Worked out by great. Don't know why I didn't do it sooner... Getting ready to upgrade my gel lead acid battery to lithium and will keep the 3000wattinverteruntil it causes problems...
I'm just about to start a conversion on my trailer almost exactly like this one. This is the best video for ideas I've seen yet! Thanks! Great work Jan & Johnny!
FYI folks , If using a gas appliance for heating etc You MUST have a supply of combustion air ! This couple left their roof vent open and that was the source for combustion air BUT you can;t completely seal a trailer and expect to use a gas fired heater . Simple rule if exhaust goes out , fresh air MUST come in . Portable rolling air conditioners also Must have condenser supply air and exhaust seperate from the conditioned air . You can recirculate the chilled air ( conditioned air ) as you do at home .
Absolutely! We also have a Three inch side vent that we can't close at all. Venting makes All the difference in the world in fact, My trailer is otherwise Rather airtight and the little propane heater will not work without venting...
I'm about to pick up my trailer 8.5 x 16 Vnose. I am enjoying your channel immensely. I have been saving videos to refer to as I begin my project. I'm curious about battery banks. My thought is to use gel cell marine batteries. They are relatively inexpensive from Batteries Plus and have many sizes. I'm planning to start my adventures with a trip to Daytona Bike Week March 2021. Thanks for sharing!
240,493 views • Feb 15, 2020 . Just Great People .Nice Build really like the Stove everything convent I was thinking the same thing about the water .I have one so been using that to see how much water I use .. Nice Back Door Porch ,Being out side is way I`m going. Love Nature Close to God.
Since Bill shot this video, Jan has painted a sunflower scene on the inside of the ramp door with a border. She calls it her rug. She also painted another little flower scene that is behind the table when it's in the up position. They look nice. We've also added solar panels and 500 amp hours of lithium batteries so I kept the 3000watt inverter...
Congratulations great video Bill. Really like is hide away bed, but most of all his little gas heater. Also when he said his ambitious was greater than his need. Or something like that ( can remember) must old age 😂😂
One of, if not the best reasons to upgrade out of a tent..."we're getting old"...brother I hear you and understand completely...went from a rucksack to a small dome tent to a converted 3/4 ton military trailer...and now in the process of getting the materials together for a 7x16 enclosed cargo...
Another option would be to purchase wheel adapters to run the same tire/rim combo as truck...that'd give you more clearance AND the plus of two spares.
@John Duke thanks so much for your sharing about the hitch. I most certainly would be finding a weld shop lol but fantastic on the self-build. Gives me the ability to start with sketching up something to take somewhere. Would capitalize on your design if I were you ;) kudos :)
Since you vent to the outside, the moisture and the carbon monoxide all go out the flue/chimney... Now the moisture added by both of us breathing is a different story... 😁
You're the best couple...so sweet... and I can see the love between you two.Thank you for a wonderful, informative tour of your Lovely RV Home. Happy Trails! and stay safe.
Awesome little build. Really good ideas that I want to put into mine when I can build it. Another great video. Hopefully when I get on the road I can come visit you myself.
It's the smallest that NuWay makes. I've forgotten the model number we're off camping right now but if the internet holds up I'll try to look it up and tell you.
Love the propane heater, and heat activated fan. It reminded me of a Chinese lantern my mother had when I was in 5th grade, bought for her at a Chinese restaurant in Encino, CA. When the bulb got heated up after being turned on, the lamp shade would rotate, and all of the Chinese artwork would be illuminated around the walls as it turned. As a child, I thought that was just amazing.
Really great folks.love the trailer and set up. Been thinking of getting me a trailer to pull behind my van. I'm a nomad. But like a little comfort. Plus never know when you might have company. Lol.
Nice couple, most people their age are just sitting around, but they are out and about
and enjoying the outdoors, thumbs up!!

They did a great job
I'm collecting all kinds of great ideas. Thank you so much. Bill, I love your videos, keep them coming.
Thank you for watching
Ingenious idea to use a stainless steel bowl for a sink! Might have to incorporate it in my van, when I finally buy one. Thank you.
I don't ever want to go camping again in my life. I spent plenty of time in a tent in Afghanistan. I want my trailer to travel in for recreation and travel in comfort.
Appreciate your service. I don’t blame you.
Your service is valued! Glad you can still commune with nature in your RV! It helps to balance us emotionally and healthy physically! Good for you.
Thank u for your service !!
I love these videos! I've had a class C and a 5th wheel but I think I'd prefer to make my own and do it all right. These videos help. Thank you!
A beautiful couple with a wonderful conversion. Thank goodness for Amazon. Enjoy your adventures and happy travels.

She is so nice. He is looks like super honest guy. Just a nice couple.
Neat people. Seems all the good folk have hit the freedom road. Am 77 and would love it but feel doing it alone w neuropathy not a choice now. They are quite the role models with great ideas. Love induction too. Is one burner next to my gas top stove.
What a gorgeous "home" and I would be really proud to call it that! Well done on this build...amazing!
The J & J. Team. what a outstanding Build. Made a Beautiful home to enjoy for years to come. Thanks for tour.
"Were not camping....were driving to the next campground" another gem of a camper trailer! Gotta love this lifestyle just hitch up and go! The creativity that goes into these campers are awesome! Makes me want to keep changing mine up a little lol...

This humble man is brillant! Thanks for sharing.
Nice! A retractable awning might be good on that patio.
I agree Jennifer..

@@jamesgibbs8827 I like that idea. I was thinking a self-closing screen net for the entire opening into the trailer would be useful too.
This is a really neat build ... like it a lots... we Mississippi people can do almost anything from nothing... lol
great trailer yall, im lookin to make one for me and my girlfriend to see the country, hope all is well cheers.
What a sweet couple. Love the stove and murphy bed. Safe travels.😉
Some really great ideas I plan on stealing a few.
Beautiful couple. Beautiful rig. Beautiful attitudes. Thanks for the tour! Lots of helpful stuff here!
If the TH-cam thing does not work out...you have a voice for radio
Thank you for sharing, I have looked at a lot of builds and this one is great. The bed set up is out of the box thinking. I hope you all are safe and having a great time.
What a joy to watch.......love what you've done.......inspiration for my future trailer build.......
What a great setup it's such a cute trailer. And I love that heater
Jan and Johnny did a great job

Paint the plywood edge with verathane / acrylic clear coating Crafters use it . It will seal the wood and prevent water from getting in
I'm just about to start a conversion on my trailer almost exactly like this one.
This is the best video for ideas I've seen yet! Thanks! Great work Jan & Johnny!
This is amazing and those two are too cute!
Muy buen trabajo pero lo que más me gustó es la humildad y sensilles con la que son feliz que sigan disfrutando de la vida saludos desde California
The flashing is cool. I'd clear coat all the edges. It will rust.
Just amazing what they've done in a 6X12 space.
What a nice couple she is a sweetheart and he seems like such a nice man great interview love this one.
Wow, what a beautiful couple with so much wisdom and memories to share.... hope we run into them one day camping? God bless
Fun interview, funny Johnny, loved it! Thank you :)
Great Video, good old American ingenuity, very cute couple. I hope I get to meet people of such good character on my future adventures. Thank you
That’s a great little rig. SO many more good ideas!

Best built cargo trailer I have seen!
Nice. Love the seating and cabinet over it. And that hideaway table is brilliant. And that auto fan is neat. Never seen one of those before.
We had never seen one of those either, but very cool

this was my idea the 6X12 with the murphy bed. Thankx for showing how you did it.
LOVE your rig!! WELL DONE
I love it! Reminds me of my great aunt and uncle.
great video,, neat set up !.. iv got a 6×12 coming at the end of this month...im gonna rob a few of ur ideals..thanks again..

John you're a lucky man. Jan is adorable.
Jan is fantastic
Some great ideas from there conversion I really like there set up comfortable but still simple thank you for sharing

Nice trailer, nice interview, an Great Folks!!! Cajun
Jan and Johnny I thank you both for sharing and I got some great ideas for my Glamping Mini Trailer build I'm starting in July 😁👍
Great build Johnny. Enjoyed touring your trailer.
Hail State !
Saw your Insulated Mug and State Bucket ! We bleed Maroon and White !

I crammed four years into five and got out in 71.😬😬😁
If I hadn't spent so much time at the W......
Another option would be to purchase wheel adapters to run the same tire/rim combo as truck...that'd give you more clearance AND the plus of two spares.
Thanks for sharing... Great layout,.... Have a similar trailer... Looking to do a conversion soon. ... Very nice folks....
@John Duke thanks so much for your sharing about the hitch. I most certainly would be finding a weld shop lol but fantastic on the self-build. Gives me the ability to start with sketching up something to take somewhere. Would capitalize on your design if I were you ;) kudos :)
Just a great conversion + great couple thanks.
Does anyone know if there is any problems with moisture when dealing with the NuWay heater?
Since you vent to the outside, the moisture and the carbon monoxide all go out the flue/chimney...
Now the moisture added by both of us breathing is a different story... 😁
Great rig! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
I’m in McHenry Mississippi
We're out in the woods south of Brandon...
THEY DON'T CALL MISSISSIPPI THE HOSPITALITY STATE FOR NOTHIN
You're the best couple...so sweet... and I can see the love between you two.Thank you for a wonderful, informative tour of your Lovely RV Home. Happy Trails! and stay safe.
Thank you!
Loving the folding bed/table combo! Anyone got good plans for that?
Great build .I have a 6x12 and have been wanting to do this . Great Video
very nicely done
Sweet ! Thank you. Happy Trails to You.
Nice ideas, great interview👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wow! blows mine to bits! haha!
Loved the ingenuity in Jan & Johnny's trailer! And really loved the sink drain bucket! Hail State, Go Bulldogs!
Love the intro. It gives me my music fix. Frank
Fun to watch this. Lots of good ideas. Thx so much. 😊
Awesome little build. Really good ideas that I want to put into mine when I can build it. Another great video. Hopefully when I get on the road I can come visit you myself.
No toilet ?Just not realistic to me.
Gettin. Old...love that....make. That a song...
Its called an S hook, I worked at a Hardware store for 2 years lol
What a nice couple, can’t wait to see future videos with them!
Wonderful couple with a fantastic rig! Loved this tour!
Very nice conversion, I like the fold DOWN doors in the cabinets.
Another way from theft is to lock the breaks on the trailer some way. So it cant be towed
Love this build
Johnny did a fantastic job
Love your build, like the bed. Thx for sharing with us.
Very nicely done and a lovely couple.
Put solar, on top !
Some Great Ideas Thanks. TAKE CARE..

What kind of stove was that??
It's the smallest that NuWay makes. I've forgotten the model number we're off camping right now but if the internet holds up I'll try to look it up and tell you.

As a child, I thought that was just amazing.
I really like their use of space! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching
I enjoy your videos. Great ideas! Your voice is rich! You sound like Kyle Cantrell on Bluegrass radio on XMradio.
Very nice build!!
Really great folks.love the trailer and set up. Been thinking of getting me a trailer to pull behind my van. I'm a nomad. But like a little comfort. Plus never know when you might have company. Lol.
wonderful job. enjoy the adventure!
Niceeee! BILL & Bill...
The logs for the back door I'm so taking that idea.. 👍👍👍 it's nice I love video
