Pictures - Starting my 5x8 Cargo Camper Conversion

Interesting build. I apologize if you’ve already listed this...I haven’t found it. What is the total outside height of the trailer? I think you’ve estimated it at 88”, but did you get a chance to measure? Thanks!

I was on the money, it's 87 to the high point of the roof. However the vent adds about 5 inches so if you count the highest highest point its about 92

Haven't checked your progress in a long while. Great update - really like your build!

Thx for the vids - if a picture's worth 1000 words, a video's worth 1000 pictures ?.

Thank you! I really wanted to make videos of the process so I can look back and remember the whole process.

Very nice!

Great looking build. Just one question - what is the distance from the outside front of the trailer front to the coupler on the hitch. Another words how long was the original and how much did you add to it?
I'm in the planning stage for a build and liked your setup.

It's around 30 inches longer than it used to be. I would estimate its overall length to be between 5 and 6 feet

Great build! I am considering something like this and you have inspired quite a few ideas.

Finally got fully updated on this. Did you ever find out the total weight of the trailer once it was completed?

 

[snare]

yeah, would love to know weight. looks awesome

 

[Jmanscotch]

Imma guess 1,650 lbs with basic gear loaded

Maybe I missed it somewhere (didn't watch the vids yet), but how did you attach your wall studs to the trailer wall? What plywood thickness did you use for floor and walls?
Is your bed the size of a standard futon?
