Nice job kids! A low cost mod you may want to consider is an RV roof vent.
With the way the sidewall flexes on that style trailer, you may want to place a minor taper at the end of the 2x4 (think french cleat) to draw in the sidewalls when under load...
Can't wait for the Ambition Strikes video, gonna be epic seeing yall working with em!! Camper looks awesome!
Can’t wait either! Thank you
Love your content! Can't wait to see the Ambition Strikes collaboration. Learn the 3-4-5 method for squaring up things. Best thing the trades has taught me
Loved it! 😍 Ambition Strikes was when I met you guys and I am so looking forward to your delivery there! You make me laugh while learning new ways to do things! So happy to have found you❣🇨🇦
Ahh thanks so much! We can’t wait for those videos either!
You two are awesome! Enjoy your new project camper. Knowing Dylan each time you use it he will come back with an upgrade!😊
Thanks so much!
Pretty sweet! Chamfering the bed post openings would probably help a ton.
It turned out great love how you guys made the bed system so it goes up and down that easy. The wheels and tires do make it look like a new trailer. Looks like the perfect camping trailer. Great job
Very nice design, cant wait to see you do more on this project.
Please install a carbon monoxide sensor. The vents don't seem sufficient for your trailer. Thanks for sharing your video. Love this!
Like how you show us your thought process. I am here from Ambition strikes. You are awesome to watch. Keep it up!
LOVE! The idea for the adjustable bed height. I'm 100% using this technique. Way better than the multiple e-track setup I was initially envisioning for my build.
Only downside it’s hard to do by your self… great idea though.❤
Maybe add some springs at the 4 corners to help offset the weight of the bed.
You guys need some magnetic bug screen behind the ramp door so you can open it up but keep out the bugs.
How about a pulley system, to raise your bed
Good idea man! Pulley and weights to make it effortless.
Add an angle to the upper portion of his 2x4 groove so that when the pulley raises the platform it'll guide itself out of the groove it was set into.
Now all janitors 4 of the screwjacks that have the hex head crank on them tour. You can take and use an impact to Jack him. Up-and-down to level the trailer. When you go camping mounted to the floor the frame of the trailer that way you will have a way to level it when you get to where you're going and then when you. Jack jack' up. They automatically sit against the bottom of the trailer and don't come down because they're a screw. Jack kinda like a scissor screw Jack. They make it in all cars. Now which you know you gotta buy a heavy duty 14 the trailer
You should lower the slats just an inch or so. That way the matress won't slide around as much. Also round the corners of the side hook parts. Easier to get the bed to come in and out. Great video btw. Really good pace and composition.
Great project simple and affordable. Good y’all were able to have some time together and enjoy it.
One suggestion for your camper trailer, you know those commericals you see on TV for the magnetically closeing screens. I think a set of those would be nice for the tailgate of the trailer and maybe for the side door also. As someone who never cares for camping since I had twenty years of camping, better know as field exercises in the Army. But screens are a god send to keep the flying critters outside.
You don't want to use blocks? Put screwjax under there, madam to the door and then you you just leave them on the door and when you get to your website, do it like you do your trade or the leveling jacks, you just use your impact and level them up and you don't ever have to remove. Because you can both them all the way through the door and they'll be there Forever. And then you can just use your impact. Raise 'Em up and Lev' Em to whatever height I need for the tailgate to be. I don't level for a deck
So glad you took the time to relax and enjoy each others company, you wont get much time when the baby is born. Having kids is the hardest, time consuming but most rewarding "job" ever.
Can’t wait to take baby camping with us!
The slats will also allow for ventilation, keeping the mattress from getting funky on you.
How do I know if it's straight? There's a thing called a spirit level. 😉
You could fit some pulleys to the roof in order to lift the bed up, then you would only have to manoeuvre it into the slots.
The trailer is coming along nicely, guys. You will be really happy to camp in it for sure
I think so too! Especially once we fix the door leak we found while camping 🥴
Lots of utube videos out there…some very ez to watch some not.. you two have a special kind of vibe that makes your video entertaining and fun to watch. Looking for more. Tc from Nevada
I would have put the slates vertical. it would be a lot stronger.
Awesome build. Congratulations.
Y’all are too awesome! Great build!
The growing belly... very cute!
Love the trailer, simple yet gorgeous. Don't forget the wheels look great too! Relax and have fun. You guys deserve it.
Thanks so much!
Just make sure you know what size they are. Then go to Harbor freight and buy that 1. Socket, get you a battery power impact that you can put in the trailer. And then that way, you can roll fix your tires but also, while you're at Harbor freight, get those screwjacks and I was telling you about any other comment. To Jack up the trailer and level it, and then make sure you got a socket that fit the screwjacks. If if it don't come with a socket on it, get somebody to weld one on it that way, you can just put an impact on it and roll it crank. Him up when there you go
Love your camper great job 😊👏
The new wheels look nice
You know it's a good day when Molly and Dylan drop a new video. Your going to need the AC, it's hot right now in the South. I'm in Destin and it's been cooking.
Put a pully system on your bed, that way one person can easily adjust it.
I am a new subscriber! I love the way the camper came out!
Thank you! Welcome😊
Very nice!! Molly time to stop lifting on that heavy stuff for awhile.
Absolutely great job. Have a safe trip and have fun 👏👏👏👏😎
🤗🤗
Enjoy a little break. You both deserve it.
This is genius!
Love this camper/trailer!
Thank you!☺️☺️
Looks like Jethro Bodine's bachelor pad from the Beverly Hillbilly's 😊
*Awesome... enjoy your holiday break away 🙂 oh and don't forget to allow room for a portacot for bubs and space for all of bub's stuff, nappies, many changes of clothes etc etc once bubs arrives 🙂nz*
Looks nice and comfy and homie
Y’all should put the small mattress and just buy a memory phone mattress topper so it won’t be so heavy
New boot goofin
I really like your bed idea. It won't work for my build (unless I can figure out how to raise my wife's recliner), but it's a great idea. I hope you don't mind, but I shared it with several cargo trailer conversion groups I belong to.
its nice build now its not way i would have done but it great
Very Very awesome
Wouldn't it make sense to have your power strips plugged into the electric generator all the time and the generator plugged into shore power all the time so you just plug into shore power and power/charge up everything at once?
That’s such a cool concept for a multipurpose camper/trailer! I’m definitely going to keep that in mind if I find a good trailer deal on Marketplace!
Thanks for sharing :)
Appreciate it!
I bet you could rig some pulleys on the sides of the bed to help with the raising and lowering
That makes me feel better about the £2K I just spent on a new tent! :). Nice camper. :)
laser level for "plumb" on your vertical uprights would have worked maybe?
Measure twice, cut once.
Is that security camera ndaa compliant?
take a 4 foot 2x4 lay it on the floor scribe a line along the far edge. pivot the 2x about the far corner until you get to 67 7/8 scribe another line along your base edge. YOU ARE SQUARE to base your layout on. SketcyUp model available to your email, should you want it.
Looks great guys. Did you consider mounting the power strip/switch on the door side of the front for convenience when entering?
Yes, but the plug to the lights then couldn’t reach it🙃
So how long did you spend thinking how you'd get the cross ties to fit in the slots? So . . . You could have just screwed Simpson ties to the walls. BTW, where I live plugging a power strip into another power strip is a code violation. You could plug 2 into your Bluetti, but not into each other.
Good stuff! Enjoyed your camper conversion, thinking about this myself. Does Reolink offer that remote camera with a cammo finish? Sticks out like a sore thumb against the tree. 😃
Yea I think they do
Really enjoying this build series, but every video is becoming more like an Andy Griffith episode......I reckon!! 😊
Looks so good with the new wheels. Whats on the plan for the white sides? Hope you enjoyed the trip, I am sure this was posted after you retruned.
Not doing anything else to the outside! But never say never lol
@@Woodbrew ahhh, going incognito huh? Lol
I have a question, and you may not be able to answer this. There are some campgrounds that have “standards”. If our camper is older than their guideline, you cannot make a reservation, this way they keep the place looking nice. I see where they are coming from, just don’t agree. My opinion, like other may differ. I wonder how they would view a trailer conversion like this, since it doens’t have that camper look. I think this is great.. I am looking at a compaer for a part time retirement job I am looking at, and this would be perfect.
I think this is mostly the longerterm and fancy campgrounds that have these rules. We’ve camped In probably 25 states and never ran in this issue.
I see another thing wrong with your trailer and he'd put at least one wheel mark on the trailer. Because the simple fact of it is those trailer wheels were so nice that somebody might steal them
Problem with the "thumbs up" button missing entirely. I would have used it if it was there.
well all that counts is you guy like the rims its just not my style lol
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊👋👋
4 rims + 4 tires = broken budget no less than $2000 plus the cost of inside tel.
I see baby bump…..
What gave it away? The bump? The 20 times she pointed out the bump? Or the time she said she’s pregnant? 😂
I see a problem with your camera. It's at a point that somebody can come in behind it. Take it down. You know it? Don't make any difference what you do. If it's not up high enough, people can't reach it without a ladder. Then you're not doing any good
They called it a camper a camper has a kitchen with a sink refrigerator a toilet, a shower that doesn’t have any of that
Molly you wanted to know what you could wear to Swindon when my ex-wife got pregnant pregnant with my daughter she would throw on one of my T-shirts and she would wear one of her pair of shorts. Don’t worry about it sweetheart just go and enjoy yourself with your husband that’s all it matters. U2 rock keep the videos going.👍👍👍👍👍🫵2🪨
Something you can try, is installing a pulley system to make it easier to raise and lower the bed.
