8.5x20 Cargo Camper build photos and video tour
This my 8.5x20 build that I started during covid and lived in for a few years. The design of the electrical and plumbing systems differ from most builds I've seen- I ran the wiring and water lines outside of the walls instead of behind them. The water lines are done in Swagelok fittings and 1/2" stainless tube, which I did because I like the look, but it also seems like it'll be very durable and reliable. The woodworking didn't turn out great as these were my first cabinets, and there are some other things that need to be changed or redone.
I made a video tour of the whole build, and the video ended up being 45 minutes long. You may want to do 1.5 or 2x speed since my speaking is slow, and if you don't have time to watch the whole thing I'd recommend checking the timestamps and watching the sections on the plumbing system and the mini split install, I think those are the parts that turned out the best.

I have run out of energy to continue the build, though it was fun in its own way and I saved a good amount while living in it. I'd say the build is about 80% complete. I would like to sell it to someone who wants to finish the build, so if anyone has some advice for a good place to list it for sale that'd be helpful. Are there any appraisal or consignment services anyone has used for selling unusual, homemade things like this? I don't think a regular RV dealer would be very interested. I'm near Portland, OR if that makes a difference.
Anyway I'd like to hear what people found interesting and would use in their build. If there's interest I can make a more concise, scripted tour video and post it here.
