Join these six cargo trailer camper facebook groups (with 75k+ members)
Wait, there are HOW MANY cargo camper conversion enthusiasts out there?!
That was my first thought when I started searching for and joining cargo trailer camper conversion groups on Facebook.
When taking on a project as big (and as complicated) as converting a cargo trailer into a camper, it’s easy to feel alone on your journey.
These six facebook groups offer feelings of support, community, inspiration and SO much more.
And, would you believe that in just these six groups there are more than 75k members?
How amazing is that.
Without further ado, here are the six groups that I’m personally a member of, and have found value from.
Cargo Trailer Conversions
First up is one of my favorite groups out of the six that I’ll share. The posts in Cargo Trailer Conversions are high value, the group is well moderated, and there’s no shortage of inspiration. It’s a helpful community and there’s very little spam because buying / selling is reserved for their other group (that’s up next). The group has been running strong since July 2014 and has amassed nearly 20k members to date. You can expect about 10 new posts per day from this group.

Details from the group admins:
We are a group about converting cargo trailers into campers. Our members have either built one themselves or in the discovery phase about building their own in the future.
We ask that you do not add other people to our group. The person who wants to join the group must request to join our group themselves. There are three control questions that must be answered for a person to get approval to join. If the questions are not answered, or someone else is trying to request to join the group on their behalf, the request is declined. We are very proud of our group and have one of the best groups on facebook. That is due to the diligent work that the Admins do to keep this a safe and respectful place to learn and get ideas.
Please be respectful. Constructive criticism is okay. Downright rudeness, name calling or unnecessary ugliness is not. Offending comments will be deleted at the discretion of Admin. Depending on the severity, unnecessary nastiness will get the member deleted and blocked. We strive to make this a safe and inviting environment in Cargo Trailer Conversions because we want people to ask questions. Questions help people build safer builds, which is what we all want.
No Vendors or links to personal sales or trailer manufacturers! Any posts that are "sales" either from a cargo trailer manufacturer or from personal sales will be deleted. links to products in the comment section (like a water valve or electrical cord) is okay, however, cargo trailer conversions group is not responsible for the products or the companies recommended by our members. Shop at your own risk.
Posts that aren't about cargo trailer converting will be deleted.
If you would like to sell your cargo trailer conversion, you can not do it here. Any posts for trailer sales will be deleted. You may post your conversion for sale in our buy/sale group. The link for that group is below.
If you are looking for camping spots that are cargo trailer conversion friendly we have a group for that too! The link to our camping group is down below.
Lastly, welcome! We're glad you're here! Don't be afraid to ask questions, introduce yourself or take a look around. Here's a little tip though. You can do a search to see if your question has been asked before posting. A lot of your questions may have been asked before.
2. Cargo Trailer Conversions Buy Sell and Trade
The Cargo Trailer Conversions Buy Sell and Trade group is a spin off of the previous group listed. Here members can (you guessed it!) buy, sell and trade cargo trailer conversions. The group is pretty active with about 13 new posts per day. You’ll often see empty cargo trailers for sale, which can be helpful when price checking before you start a build. Click here to join the Cargo Trailer Conversion Buy Sell and Trade group on Facebook.
Details from the group admins:
You can buy sell or trade anything for your cargo's. You will keep it clean or you will be gone.
Also DO NOT post or share from Market Place. Especially when they show that they have sold!!
3. Cargo Trailer Toy Hauler Conversions
Another large, active group is the Cargo trailer toy hauler conversions community. This group has been running strong for about seven years and has nearly 34k members to date. Topics range from questions about AC unit installs, bathroom layouts, cabinet materials, storage solutions and more. There is absolutely no buying or selling allowed in this group which keeps the conversations very inspirational and helpful vs sales-y. This group also posts some cargo trailer camper meetups and events with members spread across all 50 states and internationally. Group members are also active in sharing files like layouts, diagrams, install guides and more. Join the Cargo trailer toy hauler conversions group on Facebook here.
4. Homemade Campers
While this is not a cargo trailer specific group, Homemade campers on Facebook is another fun source for inspiration. You’ll see cargo trailer campers in addition to DIY teardrops, tent campers and more. I especially like this group for the image inspiration of custom built storage solutions, bathrooms, bed setups and more. The group has been growing since 2017 and is now at nearly 60,000 members.

5. DIY Camper Trailers
This group is about all things DIY when it comes to camper trailers. The content in this group is a big broad, but you still can find some helpful inspiration and tips. There are 9,724 members at the time of this post. Request to join DIY Camper Trailers here.
Details from the group admins:
A group to show off, discuss and create your own home built Camper Trailer. To all new members, please tell us about your build!!
6. Cargo Trailer Campers
With nearly 9k members and about 8 posts a day, Cargo Trailer Campers is a small but close-knit group that offers a lot of value to members. The community doesn’t hesitate to post questions, share helpful feedback, and work together to solve challenges that come with camper conversions. It’s specifically for Cargo Trailer Campers (CTCs) only, so you’ll get a more specific spread of content than with some of the broad DIY camper groups. Click here to join the Cargo trailer campers group on Facebook.
Details from the group admins:
Cargo Trailer Campers (CTC) is designed as a tool for folks to share their CTC's builds and idea's. To answer questions on how too's and why's.
Yes you may even sell your CTC build. Feel free to interact with other members as long as it is kept rated G. No bad language and no bad attitudes will be tolerated. Admin reserves the right to remove any member/s whom brakes the rules
Bonus: Cargo Trailer Camping Locations
To close things out, here’s one more group that I find really helpful. Cargo Trailer Camping Locations is a community that shares campgrounds, RV resorts, boondocking spots and more. For each spot, information is shared as to whether the location is friendly to cargo trailer campers, or not. For anyone that has been rejected from a camping spot for having a home-build camper, this is the group to share in your frustration (and offer helpful solutions, too). Members will ask questions like “Has anyone stayed in a CTC in the Florida Keys? If so, what campground??” and the group is quick to jump in with helpful suggestions on where to stay, or avoid. Click here to join the Cargo Trailer Camping Locations group on Facebook.
Details from the group admins:
A group that lists friendly and unfriendly locations for cargo trailers.
