We’re in awe of this smart 5x8 cargo trailer camper setup (video)
Looking for a small design that does it all? Steal this 5x8 cargo trailer camper layout!
Today we’re joining Vince (the builder) and Patrick from New Jersey Outdoor Adventures for the great video below.
The comments section is still active with glowing reviews. Here’s one:
WOW! Vince made a real gem in such a small trailer. Outstanding DIY build! Each aspect/feature is well designed, with elegant solutions. I particularly like the "pass through" galley, the V-nose utilization, the thoughtful easy access to the wiring (chases, and panels), the clever legs on the pull-out bed platform (notice how they swing under by themselves when he closes it), the nice use of light woods and finishes, the awnings and so much more. Outstanding. And in such a SMALL trailer too! What a gem! Vince is a craftsman. Also notice his organized truck with extra gear.
Without further ado, let’s get to the video:
