Project Summary

A permanent record of this real-world build.

We’re converting an 8.5’ × 28’ V‑nose cargo trailer with a 9‑foot interior height into a fully functional, comfortable, and efficient RV. The project focuses on building out the interior with proper insulation, a clean and safe electrical system, solar capability, smart storage, and a custom layout designed for real‑world travel. Every part of the conversion reflects hands‑on craftsmanship — framing, wiring, plumbing, and finishing — using durable materials and marine‑grade components to ensure long‑term reliability. This build is all about transforming a solid cargo trailer into a personalized adventure rig that fits our needs, our budget, and our style.

We started taking down the walls so we could start insulating our cargo trailer

Look who’s home after a little backyard surgery.

Look who’s home after a little backyard surgery.

Our trailer finally made it home… but getting it into the backyard turned into a whole adventure.

Everything was going smooth until the gate said “nope,” and I had to cut down a fence post just to squeeze it through. Hit a nail, killed my sawblade, but, it in the end - the trailer is officially home.
