Truck U enclosed trailer conversion

Postby MMOLLECK » Wed Apr 23, 2014 11:47 pm

Hey all, was just looking around online and came across a discussion on another site talking about this Truck U episode. They don't show much of the trailer, but enough to show how to install metal, and a good metal polishing product that I'm going to look into! I really liked the futon idea as well!

Nice find. Good clear demo of putting in a window frame. Nice bunk setup too. Thanks for posting it.

I enjoyed it. It is the first video I have seen which shows me how someone cut the window holes. I suspected it was that easy, but I am visual these days and needed to see it done.

I'll bet they will wish sometime down the "track" that they had insulated it.

Good post..

Glad to help! Im also a visual person with the window installs….my window and vent are due in tomorrow, so the timing was perfect! Wish they would do a follow up on it on building cabinets etc.

For my cabinets, I plan on building them in place using 1x2 framing secured with kreg tools. There are many you tube videos on Kreg and projects which might have a connection to what you are planning. I want my cabinets to be light and strong and I think doing them in the way I mentioned will give me that result.

Good luck.
