the biggest thing about building a work trailer is over-securing things. youll always say "that's not gonna go anywhere" however it will Infact go somewhere

I would hide a couple Air Tags inside the trailer, maybe even behind a permanent wall, you can remove the speaker in them too so others can't find them. Awesome trailer and with all that gear it would be an attractive target to steal.

He can and will do everything the hardest way possible every single time.

The only thing I would do differently is to add a white LED rope light along the edges of the cabinets up top. Takes up virtually no overhead space and will give you light throughout the trailer. Other than that, sick as usual! 🤙

How’d it go from you cussing out your paint sprayer to a finished trailer ? 😂 that’s the best part that you took out

[azaelleon]

After watching this whole video my neck is hurting just seeing him tilt his head the entire time ! 😂😅

for the ceiling have you considered installing a mechanism that resembles a pop up camper just to save yourself from a lot of head bumps?

Dude, nice trailer buildout! One thing I did notice that probably will help you is to turn up the pressure on your paint sprayer!!! Those tails at the edges of the spray pattern is a tell tale sign of too low of pressure! You'll get better atomization and better results. One of the biggest reasons for clogging tips like that is running too small of a tip for the paint you're spraying. It looked like a graco sprayer, running a fine finish tip (green tip), likely something like a 310. You should be running at least a 510 or 512 tip for latex. Thin your paint if you don't have the right tip, it'll help. I use automotive windshield bug remover to thin latex. It works fantastic and doesn't tint the paint or damage any surfaces.
The black looks cool, for sure, but you absolutely need to be adding some overhead lighting in there, it's a dungeon!
One other thing, insulate that roof with rigid foam board (foil faced and put it toward the roof) and skin it with white melamine (1/4") to reflect some light!

Sweet setup man! A couple comments: I would improve from the bungee system. Not only are bungees dangerous for heavy boxes, but also your method with the screws drilled into the top counter surface really impedes the functionality of the countertop. Wouldn't you rather have a clean countertop without the screwheads interfering with whatever you place down? Second thing: add undercabinet LED strip lighting for your countertops! You're gonna want that when the darker seasons come!

Not gonna lie, him saying it was the perfect size just as he bumps his head on the ceiling got me laughing lol

I liked the cabinets raw or with a clear coat. The black will show everything dirty as it does in video and also while dimming the hell out of your trailer. Love the storage, hope it works out well

[troy]

looks absolutely mint, might i suggest bed liner paint on the worktops, its hard wearing scratch and dent resistant, offers some grip aswell, easy to wipe down and clean, with tool boxes tools blades lengths of wood ect being put up and down on them daily, its a cost effective solution to keeping it looking crisp for a long time. and it could also be used on the ramp if the white gets to dirty as you can get more grippy versions

[Chamuke]

Awesome build. If you plan on working in and around the trailer, I think a worthwhile addition would be to install one of those automated awnings like you see on RV's. It'll help keep you out of the sun during hot summers

[joshpatterson]

You should add a keurig or something like that!! Easy access to coffee on the morning of a job saves ya from pulling the trailer into a tight parking lot

[amkproductions]

You will change the trailer 3000 time before December. It is a great start and a lot better than I did at the beginning. Great video and good luck with your business

[keeganlapierre]

If the paint doesn’t work out, I’d recommend using a spray/roll on truck bed liner for the ramp

Killer video as always, I'm excited to see what this build is leading towards! I totally relate to the frustration with those paint sprayers, feels like you keep getting kicked but as always you make it work. Wish you would've kept the footage in as that's always been a highlight with your work and the channel with showing all the unglamorous pitfalls in taking on projects, but nonetheless this was an astonishing build! I like how some of the carpentry is permanent with glue and screws but others appeared to be only screwed. Yes, less structurally sound but leaves the door open for future refinement and customization as you grow into the space and change your setup. I'd suggest a cleat system or some means of securing things in the open center space for odd objects or infrequently used tools that may be required on some jobs. Keep up the awesome work man, you're an inspiration to us all! Way to keep it real with the look cool be cool mentality by going with the black paint and led lights!

The things that caught my attention about this video specifically. Trailer size, having the 20 feet length for a start is a big winner and utilizing the extra 6 inches either side of the guards giving you the full 8'2" allowable width. Most people work within the guards/fenders, but you have utilized every bit of real estate available here. Also, not being a deck over keeps the floor low to the ground as well. Especially after a full day on site. Don't want to have to step or climb higher than you have to. Overall, an excellent build IMO and thanks for sharing.

[adriennedull]

That is a sweet mobile workshop! I’d add a security system just to be safe.

Looks great. If you want to replace the bungie cords, screw an eye bolt in the top front edge of each cabinet, drill a hole in the floor, and run a metal rod in front of your pack outs. that way you wont have a screw on the work bench.
