Perhaps there are very few people who would not like to travel and at the same time spend the night at home without using the services of hotels or hotels. Many will say that this is impossible and every trip is accompanied by a hotel room. Nevertheless, there is a solution - a motorhome or a motorhome. You've probably seen such movable structures in foreign films. And this is not strange, because, say, in America, according to statistics, every 3 residents have a home on wheels.

Such a house is not only convenient and comfortable, but also significantly saves money, since the question of finding a place to live disappears. You can talk about the advantages of a motorhome for a long time, and there are really a lot of them. However, there is one drawback - a car-home on wheels is not a cheap pleasure. But if you have patience and hard work, there is a way out - to build mobile home on wheels with your own hands.

The main need for such a house is travel, which you can safely send with your family and even small children. The motorhome is also useful for business trips, you don't have to look for hotels, book rooms, collect luggage and carry it with you.

The main thing is that the driver is experienced, with good driving experience and, of course, with a positive attitude towards this type of transport.

Mobile home: what you need for comfort

Although the house will be in the form of mobile housing, this does not mean that it should not be comfortable and meet the minimum needs of the owners.

Home lighting

To supply light to a mobile home you will need:

  • rechargeable battery;
  • charger;
  • wiring system for subsequent wiring;
  • panel for controlling the supply of electricity.

Heating for home

Several types of heaters can be used to heat a home, it can be a stand-alone type and a gas cylinder. It is preferable to use gas, since, in addition to heat, it will provide an opportunity for cooking.

If you have chosen heating with gas, then here you will have to contact a specialist for help. Of course, building everything with your own hands from start to finish is commendable, but you should remember about the safety of passengers.

Air (ventilation) for home

Highly important point ventilation, especially when using gas. In this case, there should be several holes, and one of them will be as low as possible.

For comfort: water, bathroom, kitchen

No home will be comfortable if it lacks basic amenities. Think carefully about where the kitchen, mini-size portable dry closet and shower will be. Also, do not forget about water tanks and pumps for it.

It is better to send the water that will drain into a large bucket under the body. To do this, you can use a special hose that should be laid in the floor.

RV Furniture

Certain difficulties may arise with furniture, since it should be as compact as possible. For such housing, folding furniture is used, it is attached to the walls. In most cases, such furniture can only be purchased on order, which is quite expensive. But if there is an opportunity to do it yourself, then this will significantly save money.

Optional: doors, windows

As for the windows, it is better to do at least 2, so you can save energy and not turn on the light during the day.

It should be borne in mind that if the house is being built from a trailer, then the width and height, of course, should not exceed the dimensions of the car.

We build a motorhome from "GAZelle"

If you are the owner of a domestic minibus, which has not been to your liking for a long time, then you can safely use it as the main material for mobile housing. First, you need to thoroughly clean it, remove unnecessary seats, a jet of upholstery, get rid of all that is superfluous. After clearing, you can start making the necessary holes (for windows, ventilation, wires).

The metal part, which is inside, is well coated with a primer mixture to protect it from moisture and rust. Next, you can move on to covering the floor and walls with thermal insulation material. Make sure that the material itself is laid flat and tight. Then you can start finishing the interior of the house with plywood or another coating.

It is very important to pay attention to the quality of thermal insulation and subsequent coating. All materials must be of high quality and meet all standards. This is how your gazelle and mobile home will last a long time.

The next important step will be the supply of electricity and gas. When these two points are successfully completed, then you can start installing water tanks, a bathroom and furniture.

On this, we can say that the trailer - RV is ready. Now you can safely go on a trip with convenience and comfort.

Building a mobile home from a trailer

Let's not deny that building a caravan from a trailer is no more difficult than from a Gazelle. The main difficulty is that the walls and ceiling have to be built from scratch, unlike a minibus.

The first step is to clean the trailer, chassis, and paint to prevent corrosion. Then we cover the frame with a thick layer of plywood. We drill holes: frame, timber, plywood and fasten with bolts.

This type of rest and travel option is used by lovers of freedom and independence from tickets and flights. It is a good solution to have both a car and a home on a vacation trip. Thanks to the presence of a mobile home, a family can travel in comfortable conditions and stop wherever and whenever they want, without reference to time. Camping sites gained their popularity at the beginning of the 20th century.

DIY home on wheels

Through such an independent vacation, you can see those places on the way to your destination that not accessible from plane or train... In addition, camping during renovation of an apartment or construction of a house on the site can serve as temporary housing. You can also rent a camper van when there are no travel plans.

The cost of such a pleasure is rather big, some options reach the price of an ordinary apartment, but to save money, you can create a camping or motorhome yourself.

The options for large campsites are being converted from buses and oversized vans, but this is too expensive for those who do not mind spending a lot of money on such mega-comfort.

Camping options

There are three budget options for self-taught people:

To build a motorhome with your own hands, you need:

  1. Have wheels.
  2. Visually draw a plan of a camping house, drawings - this is one of the main points in creating a mini motorhome.

When drawing up a plan, you need to think through all those comfort details that are in an ordinary apartment.

Internal communications of the motorhome

As in any regular campsite house too need communications- This is electricity, water, gas, toilet and possibly a shower. Without these amenities, mobile housing will not be comfortable. In order to have light in the camp, it is advisable to purchase a battery with a battery and a device for recharging. It is worthwhile to think over the internal wiring well in advance. It is necessary to take into account the external connectors when charging and the fact that they have different capacities.

It is easier to use a conventional bucket to drain waste through a hose hidden in the floor, by placing it under the body of your RV. Kitchen water can be stored in large containers by immersing pumps in them to supply it to the tap. To drain the used water, a reservoir is also used inside or outside the room. A small shower can be set up as a mixer tap, for example, above the sink.

Unfortunately, it will not work to build a usual toilet in a mobile home, since there is no place and it is difficult to drain waste constantly. A dry closet is perfect here.

The camping lighting system will require :

  • battery;
  • charger;
  • wiring.

What is needed to heat your motorhome?.

At the ready of an autonomous heater, you can purchase a battery and a gas cylinder, because it will also come in handy in the kitchen and the operation of the refrigerator. You should not use a lot of electrical appliances and equipment for two reasons - this is an additional power consumption and a load on the wiring, since this is a small room compared to a house. The services of an electrician should be used when working with gas, since it is extremely risky to do it yourself if you are not an electrician.

Interior arrangement of the camping

Ventilation system.

It is also important to deal with ventilation so as not to clog the room with odors.

The location of the holes is important as it is best not to expose them in plain sight for reasons of beauty. It is best to place them at the bottom of the walls above the floor, you can also put a gas cylinder there.

Furniture.

Practicality and compactness when arranging furniture is a guarantee of comfort in a camping, given the small space, as well as the layout. Folding or pull-out berths, tables with attached stools and everything in this spirit will create the necessary comfort and the desire to relax in a self-made motorhome. There are special compact headsets on sale, but if there is a desire and time, it is quite possible to make furniture on your own using old boards, tabletops, and for a sofa and chairs, you can take seats from the same car or old wheels can also be converted into chairs or stools.

Carpenter at the campsite.

In such a dwelling, if it is one-story, it is recommended to make two windows so that you do not have to consume electrics during the day. It is better to make the door double-winged so that it does not sag and the wind does not blow into the room.

Minibus or caravan, let's look at the principle of transforming each one.

To start transforming a Gazelle minibus into a camping, you need to clear the body, remove the seats and upholstery, make holes for windows and a valve for gas supply:

Body preparation

To process the body you need:

  • against corrosion, a primer is applied inside, and then you need to insulate the walls, floor and ceiling with thermal insulation;
  • cover with plywood or carpet;
  • what glue, what plywood needs to be selected good quality so that the insulation will serve you for a long time;
  • after the stage of warming, you can proceed to electricity and gas, then go to the kitchen, think over a place for the sink and oven, install water tanks, a bathroom and at the end arrange the rest of the furniture for rest, beds, chairs or stools, cabinets and shelves, depending on what is available space.

A house from a trailer is different in that there are only wheels and you need to do everything from scratch, like on a plot, first build a box - the future room.

Lodging from a trailer is done as follows:

To make a roof for a motorhome, you need :

  • assemble a frame from supporting structures - beams, if you want a triangular roof;
  • further, we sheathe it with plywood;
  • you need to cover it with a water-repellent material.

After that, a rain gutter can be made and attached to the back wall from the outside and from the inside to drain waste. You also need to veneer the outer walls. Internal wiring and thermal insulation must be covered with fiberboard and then the stage of manufacturing one or two doors.

To protect the tree from drying out, and pests, you need to cover the outside and inside of the wall with a primer, apply a layer of paint on top. For an aesthetic look, you need to close the threaded holes and also paint. All these procedures will reliably protect the house from the influence of external harmful factors... At the end of the work, since this is a trailer, you need to install the headlights and fenders.

This kind of mobile homes fall into three categories:

Travel in your homemade RV, of course nice and comfortable... However, you need to decide for yourself whether you can independently master all the work on the construction of a motorhome.

1. Mobile real estate for your garden.

For real estate for recreation on a suburban summer cottage, sometimes completely unexpected requirements are put forward. For example, more and more often the owners of such houses are looking for ways to make their suburban real estate mobile and put on wheels. ("Do-it-yourself mobile wooden ski house"). (Fig. 1)

This is especially useful for at least two reasons. First, taking houses with them from their vacation, their owners decide the issue of the need to protect it for most of the year. Second, having a mobile home does not even have to acquire a land plot as property, but you can afford to rent a new picturesque corner every time. (Fig. 2)

The first selection of photographs shows a small house made of wood. It is quite possible to build such a house on wheels with your own hands, even in a short period of time. The function of the foundation is performed by a metal base on wheels. A platform with a house attached to the car moves along the roads in any direction. It is thanks to the metal platform that the erected house perfectly tolerates vibrations during movement, and maintains the integrity of the structure and casing for a long time. (Fig. 4)

The mobile house in the form of a tower is equipped with all the furniture and equipment necessary for a comfortable stay. There is a kitchen with a sink, refrigerator and microwave for cooking and heating food. Equipped with a bathroom with toilet and shower. And under the arch of the roof there is a bedroom inconspicuously located in the form of a wide bed. (Fig. 5)

Particular attention is paid to the lighting of the home on wheels. A large number of windows, as well as a glazed door leaf, contribute to filling a tiny room daylight until dark. In turn, this provides significant savings in scarce electricity. ("Examples of insulated and self-contained verandas - gazebos", "A country house protected by metal and wood"). (Fig. 6)

3. Mobile wooden house with your own hands.

The opportunity presented itself to study the method and construction of a mobile home on the example of an embodied project of a dwelling with a total area of ​​about fifteen square meters.

The country house shown in the photo, in fact, made it possible to solve the problem with housing for a young couple who settled in it not only for the summer period, but thanks to the temperate climate decided to live in this house permanently. (Fig. 8)

* The initial stages of building a mobile home. Sketch and platform creation.

At the stage of making a decision to build a mobile home, people, as a rule, already imagine its external and internal design, as well as the approximate dimensions and material of manufacture. Nevertheless, we will devote a few lines of information to this initial stage of the project. ("Several examples of building country houses", "Build a house yourself. We start with the foundation").

As mentioned above, in the construction of a mobile home, however, as in the construction of any other house, a particularly important point is the foundation - the foundation. In this case, a movable platform acts as the foundation, and its base is performed by a metal welded frame.

The dimensions and shape of the metal platform with wheels are purely individual and depend solely on the wishes of the owner. ... (Fig. 10, 11, 12)

You can make such a platform either completely independently or re-plan a purchased caravan or an old car.

It is important to remember that all metal parts will be load-bearing in the structure, therefore, it is necessary to correctly calculate the weight and load of the house installed on them in the future with all the necessary furniture, things and people. All elements of the platform must be carefully sorted out, cleaned and treated with anti-corrosion agents.

* Erection of a wooden frame for the future house. Tools and materials.

This house is built from wood. For its construction, the following list of tools and materials will be required:

1. From materials - board and wooden beams of the required size, sheets of plywood or OSB, insulation (you can use polystyrene, but it is more convenient and better from the point of view of sound insulation to use mineral wool as filling voids in the walls).

2. Prepare a set of carpentry devices, a screwdriver, a drill, jigsaws, grinders from the tools in advance. In the manufacture of such a complex structure, almost the entire basic set of tools used in working with a tree with all the necessary consumables(self-tapping screws, bolts, washers, nails) ("Joiner's tool", "Tool for laying laminate, carpet, parquet", "Drill and screwdriver", "Power tools. Perforator, jackhammer", "Grinding power tools", "Jigsaws, saber saws, planers, milling machines ").

The process of building a wooden caravan is very similar to the procedure for building a conventional frame house. The construction of a house begins with the assembly of the frame. And the frame is attached to the lower harness, which in this case is fixed not to the foundation, but to a movable metal platform. ("Construction of country dachas, using frame technology", "Low-rise housing construction and design principles", "Building a house using frame-frame technology."). (Fig. 13, 14)

At the stage of fixing the lower trim to the platform, the bottom of the structure is sewn up with OSB plates and waterproofed with a special film. At the same time, it is necessary to lay the electrical wiring to equip the mobile home with warning lamps and headlights. (Fig. 15)

Now you can safely mount the racks in the same way as described in the above article on the construction of a frame house.

Further, the installed frame racks are sheathed with plates of the selected material (plywood, OSB and chipboard). As in the case of the construction of a conventional frame house, the frame cladding, in addition to its main function, additionally serves as an element that holds the entire frame of the house together. ("Methods for sheathing and insulation of the walls of a frame house."). (Fig. 16, 17, 18)

Sometimes an ordinary board is also used as a rough cladding, which is left with an external decorative layer. This option, despite all its simplicity, is still not desirable due to the fact that the board, in the process of exposure to the environment, reacts more actively to moisture and dry periods, which in turn can negatively affect the integrity of the entire frame.

If, nevertheless, it was decided to use an ordinary board for cladding, then choose a material that is properly dried, and do not forget to scrupulously treat each element with antiseptic and other means that prevent the development of microorganisms and enhance the moisture-resistant characteristics of wood. ("Price antiseptic for wood", "How to cover wood with wood stain", "Wood stain", "Types of varnishes", "Painting tools, brushes, rollers"). (Fig. 19, 20)

* Sheathing of the frame, insulation of the walls of the house and laying of communications.

Having installed the frame of the house, and having completed its outer sheathing, you can proceed to the internal arrangement of the camper.

At this stage, the attachment points of heavy structures are calculated and reinforced with additional beams. For example, in our house there will be not only suspended furniture in the form of shelves and cabinets, but also the second tier of the bed, and this will require additional reinforcement to distribute the loads when attaching the berth.

At this stage, electrical wiring and communications for plumbing equipment are cultivated around the house. ("Installation of a plasterboard partition", "Ceiling in a wooden house", "Installation of a water supply system using metal-plastic and pvc pipes"). (Fig. 21)

For example, in our house there will be not only suspended furniture in the form of shelves and cabinets, but also the second tier of the bed, and this will require additional reinforcement to distribute the loads when attaching the berth.At this stage, electrical wiring and communications for plumbing equipment are wired around the house (Installation of a plasterboard partition, Ceiling in a wooden house, Installation of a water supply system using metal-plastic and pvc pipes).

The country house is insulated with mineral wool. ("Ceiling insulation", "Wall insulation"). Such insulation for a wooden house also serves for soundproofing walls. At the same time, the ceiling and floor need insulation no less than the walls. How to insulate a house from the inside was described in the article on the construction of a frame house specified in the previous paragraph.

Colossal heat loss occurs through poorly installed door and window blocks during the cold season and the penetration of hot air during the hot season. In this regard, the glazing of windows and the installation of door frames will require increased attention. Windows and doors can be purchased custom-made according to your size, or you can make it yourself, paying attention to the choice and processing of wood for the frames and careful sealing with special substances that are currently being sold in a large assortment.

Is it difficult to build a mobile home on the basis of a conventional car trailer? What materials can this trailer-house-cottage be built from? What are its minimum dimensions? What interior layout will allow the most efficient use of the interior space? Let's try to find answers to this list of questions.

Goals

A small country cottage is probably the most widespread hobby in the post-Soviet space over the past half century. The area of ​​cities is growing every year, and areas are naturally moving away from the center of settlements. Distances are sometimes measured in tens of kilometers; the most comfortable way to overcome them is to drive your own car.

At the same time, not all summer residents are ready to turn a small plot into a place of permanent residence. The maximum that an average city family can decide on is to spend the night on their site once a week. Building for the sake of this overnight stay is a capital house - a dubious undertaking; sleeping in a car is very uncomfortable ...

For summer residents who have basic skills in working with a power tool, homemade caravan trailers are often the way out.

We have to study one of these structures, having become acquainted with the materials used and design solutions.

Acknowledgments: The photographs used in this article were kindly uploaded by one of the regulars on the League of Caravaners forum.
The author's work was reduced only to clarifying some technical subtleties.

Choice of materials

In most cases, a single-axle trailer with a maximum load of no more than a ton becomes the basis on which a compact caravan-caravan is built. Taking into account the weight of household items and a couple of people, our choice is a dacha trailer weighing up to 750 kg.

The weight limitation affects the choice of material.

  • We will make the frame of the building from a pine bar with a cross section of 50 mm.
  • The walls are made of 10 mm plywood (moisture resistant or impregnated to reduce the hygroscopicity of the material and prevent it from rotting); the floor is 12 mm. It is also used for construction inside.
  • External cladding - galvanized steel. Sheets are hemmed to the frame bar with self-tapping screws; the overlaps are additionally sealed with silicone sealant. The outer corners are reinforced with an aluminum corner - again sealed with silicone.

  • What to choose as insulation, laid between the inner and outer layers of plywood - we leave it to the reader to decide. Here is the comparative thermal conductivity of popular heaters:

Nuance: glass wool will inevitably cake over time.
Better to use tough insulation.

Dimensions (edit)

A reasonable minimum of the size of the trailer required for our purposes is 2300x1600 mm. Such dimensions will make it possible to build a fairly comfortable sleeping place for two people inside and leave some space for a table under a washbasin and / or a gas stove.

A two-axle trailer cottage will provide where more comfort; however, the price of such a trailer will be twice or three times more. Its dimensions (up to 4.5 meters in length) allow you to build a full-fledged toilet room.

A reasonable minimum building height is generally 2 meters. The height can be adjusted depending on the size of the owners: it is clear that a very tall person does not want to constantly cling to the ceiling with the crown of his head.

Construction

So let's get started. How is a dacha built from a trailer with your own hands?

Floor, bottom rail

  1. The sides are completely dismantled. Only a flat area remains from the trailer. If the horizontal base is sufficiently rigid, the floor joists and harness can be attached directly to it; It is better to weld a thin flexible sheet with a frame made of a professional pipe with a section of 50x25 mm.
  2. Then the lower strapping of a bar, laid along the perimeter, is fixed to the base with bolts; the side bars are connected with logs with a pitch of 20 cm (for 12 mm plywood).

Alternatively, the entire structure can be assembled at the stand and only then pulled to the base of the trailer.

  1. The lags are attached to the strapping with a galvanized corner; the bar must be impregnated with hot linseed oil twice.

Tip: instead of drying oil heated in a water bath, you can use cold oil.
In this case, after applying each layer, the bar is warmed up with a building hairdryer.

  1. Insulation is laid between the lags; then the floor is covered with plywood, which is attracted by self-tapping screws.

Frame

The instructions for assembling the frame are no different from the construction of the lower strapping: the bar is connected by corners with self-tapping screws. Before or after assembly, the tree is impregnated with linseed oil. Do not be afraid that the frame will not be rigid enough: the sheathing will give the structure strength.

Sheathing, insulation

The finished frame begins to be sheathed from the inside. The plywood is attracted by self-tapping screws 32 mm long in increments of about 25 cm. The self-tapping screws are only galvanized: in damp weather, black steel will inevitably decorate the walls with untidy rusty streaks.

Three nuances:

  1. Holes for self-tapping screws are pre-drilled and countersunk so that the hats do not cling to clothes. An alternative is the use of self-tapping screws with half-countersunk heads.

  1. Plywood from the inside must be sanded before varnishing and after applying the first layer. Any moisture will raise pile on the top veneer layer, which will make the surface rough.
    The volume of work will be quite large, so it is better to use a grinder - even the simplest, vibration one. If there is no electricity where you are building, there is always a way out: renting a diesel generator for a summer residence costs from 1000 rubles a day.
  2. The outer side and ends of plywood also need protective impregnation. And in this case, the cheapest and most practical option is two layers of hot drying oil.
    The insulation is fixed in the grooves formed by the frame and the inner lining, after which it is sheathed on the outside with plywood rolled on both sides.

The door is assembled similarly to walls and hung on galvanized hinges; a regular door lock or a pair of latches are used as a lock - inside and outside.

The last stage is the external galvanized finish. It is fixed with self-tapping screws 25 mm long in 10 cm increments along all the frame bars; then the corners are closed with a corner. Do not forget about the sealant: it will protect the corners and joints from water leakage.

In the photo - the cladding, ready for painting.

Window

If you want your miniature home to have light windows, no problem.

  1. The opening is provided even at the stage of construction of the frame. It is girded with a bar with a section of the same 50x50 mm.
  2. As an outer glazing bead, a duralumin corner is used, which is screwed flush with the outer skin with self-tapping screws. The seat for the corner is pre-coated with sealant.
  3. A piece of plexiglass cut to the size of the opening sits on the sealant and is fixed from the inside with a glazing bead from the same duralumin corner.

Internal layout

Our choice is a convertible seat bed and a folding table. The transformation mechanism will make the pictures understandable.

Useful little things

  • An alternative to galvanized plywood - external sheathing made of profiled sheet... In a similar scheme, country houses are often built from block containers.
  • Do-it-yourself cottage trailer repair usually comes down to periodic painting of galvanized... Old paint can be removed with removers. In those few cases when the wheels, fenders or suspension of the trailer are damaged, spare parts for the caravan are bought at the nearest auto shop.

  • The simplest way to organize ventilation is to provide a pair of hatches closed with a mosquito net (bottom and top) in the door.

Conclusion














Experienced travelers know that it is not always possible to sleep comfortably and cheaply. Therefore, at long journeys and having your own car, it is a sin not to buy a towbar and not to pick up a caravan trailer. In fact, this is a house on wheels - such a small number with a kitchen, a toilet ... Well, in general, with all the objects of civilization. In such a "mini-hotel" you can not only comfortably spend the night, but even cook food for several people, and dine there, and most importantly - completely free! And today we will look at how a do-it-yourself caravan trailer is made.

Undercarriage and frame

The main component of any trailer is the frame. It is on it that the entire load falls from the metal body (the frame of the "house"), and from below the bridge, beam and wheels. By the way, you will not have any special difficulties with regard to the chassis, because the design of the trailer does not fundamentally differ from the car system, with the exception of the engine units. Therefore, when making a trailer-dacha with your own hands, as running system you can completely "rip out" part of the wheels, springs and other suspension parts from any old car. Any car model can be suitable for such a vehicle, be it Volga, Moskvich or Zhiguli.

How to make a caravan trailer with your own hands? Designing rooms

And if the algorithm for designing a trailer-dacha from the usual cargo version practically does not differ at the stages of the structure of the chassis and frame, then difficulties may arise with the body. The fact is that a homemade caravan trailer should really be comfortable and practical, so even on the drawing you need to develop a plan for the design and location of all parts. Indicate where the bedroom, kitchen will be located, and if it is a frame with a length of 5 meters or more, you can additionally install a bathroom. However, remember that each new room entails additional waste, which means that the price of a finished trailer will be significant. Moreover, in order to legally ride in such a coupling, you also need to register this vehicle in the traffic police. And this is at least a few thousand dollars on top. Therefore, do not overload your trailer with unnecessary devices.

Retrofitting option

The most practical option homemade trailer is a structure in which a built-in frame under the awning is located on the side (remember the legendary Soviet "Skif"). When unfolded, it creates a kind of large tent. This significantly reduces the cost of work and the effort spent on it. Such a do-it-yourself cottage trailer is very functional and at the same time easy to use.

Trailer hitch and illumination

At the final stage, it is worth taking care of how the finished structure will be attached to the car's towbar. Also, a homemade caravan trailer should have a pair of brake lights and turn signals. In the center or on the side, think over the location for the license plate and guide the backlight to it, preferably LED. Such a trailer cottage on wheels will definitely be the best hotel for a traveler.

Do-it-yourself cottage trailer from a light trailer

Trailer for car

Those who like to go out of town by car with an overnight stay know that it is not convenient to sleep in the car, so you need to take a caravan trailer with you. This is a house on wheels, you can spend the night in it, cook food, perfectly protect yourself from rain and snow. There you can put a large bed and have a great time. The dacha trailer itself is very convenient.

There are many manufacturers who produce different mobile homes. But they are quite expensive, sometimes even b. at. caravan trailers also cost a lot of money. Therefore, many craftsmen make a dacha trailer with their own hands, inventing their own design. For each individual case, its own type of trailer-cottage.

The advantages of making a caravan trailer with your own hands

Unlike factory caravan trailers, homemade options have their advantages:

  • When you make a trailer-dacha with your own hands, then the soul of the one who made it is felt in it, therefore it is more comfortable in it.
  • By making a caravan trailer yourself, you can make it as convenient as possible for yourself.
  • The most important plus is low price production, and functionality can be maximized.
  • The design is made taking into account the capabilities of the car.

Inexpensive caravan trailer option

The simplest and most inexpensive is the tent trailer. When complicated it looks like simple light trailer, and if you expand it, then an awning roof appears above the trailer and a little further from it.

To make such a camper, you need to buy a factory trailer, install fasteners for the base of the tent on it, and also make a folding porch so that you can enter the premises. The main thing here is to make sure that the tent fits to the trailer in size.

In order to equip the intra-tent space, you will need air mattresses and folding table... This is quite enough for fishermen who went fishing with an overnight stay. 2-3 people can easily sleep in such a tent. But it will be cold in winter, so such a cottage trailer is suitable only for the warm season.

Capsule trailer

The base also contains an ordinary light trailer, but the result is a more solid dwelling. These will already be full-fledged walls with a roof. You can even live in such a trailer-dacha for some time. Several windows can be made for convenience. The tent should have all the necessary household items such as a gas stove, dishes and other accessories.

To make such a capsule, the sides of the trailer must be removed. Make guides from a metal corner and weld them to the trailer. Next, you need to make a frame and fix it.

In order for the capsule to have a rounded shape, it must be cut out of special moisture-resistant plywood. In the upper part, you can make a flooring, put doors on the hinges, windows can be made of polycarbonate or plexiglass.

All parts must be sanded, then painted and varnished. In such a capsule 2 people can easily fit.

Trailer-cottage made of wood

If you have a two-axle trailer, you can build a wooden house on its basis. For everything to go smoothly, you need a wooden beam, plywood, metal tiles, a waterproofing film. A frame is first made from a wooden bar. Next is a video where a guy makes a caravan trailer with his own hands:

Then everything needs to be done according to plan:

  • Cover the frame with a waterproofing film and sew up with plywood.
  • The roof must be made of metal tiles, you can also use corrugated board or ondulin.
  • The walls of the house must be covered with a layer of waterproofing, after which the house is finished with clapboard or plastic siding.
  • Put up the door, cut out the windows and furnish the interior to your liking.

This is already a large trailer cottage, which can easily accommodate several people and even a family. You can live in such a dacha from spring to late autumn. In winter it will still be cold in it.

Auto-dacha from the station wagon

If there is an old station wagon car, then it is not necessary to rent it for scrap, you can make a caravan trailer out of it. The main thing is that the back of this station wagon is in good condition... It is necessary to cut off the front of the unnecessary car, and make a trailer from the rear.

First you need to make measurements of the future trailer so that the length is suitable in order to fit comfortably into it. If everything is done correctly, you will end up with a multifunctional trailer in which you can spend the night.

The front part must be reinforced around the perimeter with a rigid frame made of a steel corner, and you also need to sew up the front part with a sheet of iron, nakraynyak, you can also plywood.

In front, in the lower part, you can install a towing hitch, usually it is made from a channel. The door to enter will be the trunk lid, and the side doors can be used for loading things.

So you can even make a dacha trailer yourself with your own hands, the main thing is that there is imagination and a desire to create something so unusual. A mobile home is very convenient, you can always leave the bustle of the city for nature and live in fairly comfortable conditions.

The only problem is that the registration authority may not want to register such a trailer, because it seems to them that it will not comply with the safety standards on the road. Therefore, the easiest way is to take a used caravan trailer and remake it, while keeping the documents.

Own mobile cottage-home on wheels

In Western Europe and the United States, life, travel or vacation in the company of mobile homes has long been widespread. The owners of such houses are not chasing large dimensions. The trend is precisely small mobile homes, but multifunctional so much that they are able to independently filter their own water, generate electricity and heating using solar panels on the roof and so use every centimeter of space that a two-story van with a base area of ​​14 square meters looks quite complete dwelling.

Who is the adherent of life on wheels in a mobile home?

In the west, there is no pronounced preference, however:

  • young people more often use this method not for living, but for travel and recreation, since they traditionally gravitate towards the bustling life of the city and do not need solitude;
  • families in which children are growing up are already more tolerant of such a mobile home, because it is able to solve some financial problems, especially in times of crisis, unemployment and more than high prices for housing maintenance, as well as food;
  • active retirees - they are ideal consumers of mobile home style. Knowing how to drive, they are happy to travel not only in their own country, but also in accessible foreign countries.

Caravan on wheels in Russia

The fashion to use mobile homes has recently come to Russia. The direction is developing very slowly. First of all, because of the cost, because if in the West a house on wheels is really affordable housing in relation to real estate prices, then in Russia such vans are more expensive than a good apartment. In addition, more than half of the country's population lives in a harsh winter, and insulated caravans often cost like 2 apartments.

Mobile homes are conventionally divided into classes that describe the category of roominess, interior content and comfort:

  • class A - looks like a bus and is closest to the usual housing;
  • class B - this includes a trailer fully equipped inside, the berth is located directly in the trailer itself;
  • class C - small, designed for movement on the basis of an off-road vehicle or passenger car, while the car's cabin is transformed into a sleeping place.

The most budgetary option available today is a trailer tent that can be disassembled at the camping site directly around the trailer.

But, if equipped trailer houses are not available for many, then a self-made cottage on wheels is more than a real option.

DIY transforming house

A folding transforming house on wheels of a passenger car will be a structure of a panel house, from which one of the walls along the side can be folded back or removed. In this case, such a house becomes like a large gazebo. Interior amenities include a table, sofas or bed, gas stove and fixed water supply.

Whichever version of the trailer house you choose, your mobile home on wheels with your own hands will become not only a source of pride for the owners for their work, but also give new opportunities to spend the weekend with the family. Indeed, in order to get into nature, it is not necessary to have your own piece of land. It is easy to travel and stay in the most attractive countryside locations.

How to make a mobile home

The most compact, simple and budgetary option is a single axle trailer design. Taking into account the weight restrictions for light trailers in the Russian Federation up to 750 kg, it is necessary to choose a durable and lightweight material.

A pine tree is well suited for this purpose:

  • The frame is made of paving stones.
  • The walls are sheathed with plywood, the optimal sheet thickness is recommended at 1 centimeter.
  • Plywood sheets are also used for furniture - tables, beds and shelves.
  • The exterior will be overlapped galvanized steel sheets.

Alternatively, you can use another building material for the front cladding, the main thing is that it has sufficient strength and flexibility.

Between the outer cladding and the frame, a layer of mineral wool, mineral slab or other insulating material should be placed in order to maintain the microclimate inside, especially in hot weather, when, due to the metal cladding, the structure can heat up above 50-60 degrees Celsius inside.

Do-it-yourself trailer-dacha - installation of a mobile house

Installation of the structure is carried out using self-tapping screws, weak spots such as outside corners are reinforced with a metal corner.

Material protection includes:

  • antiseptic strengthening impregnation for wood material;
  • sealing of seams with silicone compound of the outer skin;
  • painting the front side.

The dimensions of the trailer can vary, the optimal one can be called 2.3-2.4 x 1.5-1.6 m.

Building a mobile home

The construction of the auto supply takes place in two ways - on the trailer itself, for this, its sides must be dismantled, or at a special stand, followed by installation on the trailer.

Windows are taken into account at the design stage and can be of different configurations - from sliding to folding.

Ventilation is provided by installing a mosquito net. Additionally, you can consider installing a hatch in the ceiling.

A more basic solution would be a mobile home trailer with a two-axle trailer base. The principle and method of manufacturing such a structure is similar to the construction for a trailer on one axle. Of course, more material will be required, so costs will increase proportionally.

Do-it-yourself mini camper trailer-dacha. Detailed plan

Designed for tourists and travelers alike, this project is an extreme weather protection structure, a small affordable self-contained home for the homeless or disaster-affected. The camper can be easily built from structural insulating panels (structural insulating panels) and from commonly available materials. Low cost and super insulated for year round use in extreme weather conditions. This is a mobile home that can be parked anywhere and be housing during cleanup natural disaster... This small mobile home is also designed for people who play outdoors or are looking for adventure in extreme conditions. Due to its light weight, super insulation, this camper trailer is ideal for people who have kayaks, mountain bikes and other equipment they want to take with them.


This camper is designed for extreme weather conditions and is so well insulated that it can only be heated with body heat or a small heater designed for indoor use. With a white roof and vents, it will stay cool in summer when parked under the trees.





Best of all, the camper is built on the basis of a 120x240 cm trailer, and the material costs for a camper do not exceed $ 1000, depending on the materials used.

Full step-by-step plans are available below.

These blueprints require basic building skills and you take full responsibility for any use of these plans.


1: What makes this camper so special?


Storage cabinets above the foot of the bed with space for a small LED TV or tablet, iPad with speakers or radio and DVD / CD player, or this space underneath can be used for drawers. All devices will be powered by a solar panel located on the front of the van.


The camper has a bed of 100 cm by 205 cm, which is sufficient for two people and very comfortable for one person. Above the headboard, there are open storage shelves and two LED positioning lights for reading. Integrated fold-out table built into the wall by the bed for eating or studying.

The mobile home has a door for easy access and a porthole window, so you can see who is behind the door, but small enough that a person (or bear) cannot break and open the door. There is a window on the opposite side for light and ventilation and a sloping deflector on the roof.

Typically, the walls of a small van are 5 cm thick with insulation and are not designed for extreme weather all year long. In this camper, the walls and roof are 10 cm thick, with thermal insulation (more than in most houses) and this will allow the person to stay warm cold winter and cool in hot summer. In most cases, only body heat will provide comfort in the camper, but it can also be heated with a small propane heater. White roof to reflect heat, roof ventilation and side window vents for passive cooling. There is room in the outer walls to install a small air conditioner if desired, but if you are parking the camper in the shade of trees, there is no need for an air conditioner.


The camper has a cooking kitchen in the back that includes a sink, chopping board, water canister, propane / butane single burner and space cooler. There is plenty of storage space for canned and dry food, pots and dishes.

You've probably seen other small campers and mobile homes, but you've never seen anything like it because it is made from SIP and has super insulation and strength while keeping towing weight to a minimum.

This caravan is designed to be towed by small cars or trucks, the base of the trailer is 120 × 240 cm, so it can be parked even in a standard parking space. It has a super sturdy 10 cm thick roof with rack and mountings for kayaks, mountain bikes, skis. The roof rack design is included in the blueprints or you could use commercial racks.

The camper trailer is rated for a 100 watt (or less) solar electric panel that attaches to the front of the camper, tilts for better sunlight access, and can be removed and stored in the camper when you travel. The panel has 100 watts and one or two deep cycle batteries and an inverter will provide the necessary power for your gadgets such as a laptop, mobile phone, a window fan, LED lights and even a refrigerator and kitchen utensils.

The camper has a pad on the bow of the trailer, which is used to store a propane tank, batteries and a portable toilet or other items that may be needed for long-term camping or permanent residence.

The camper is specifically designed for extreme weather conditions and is designed for long-term year-round housing for people who can live in the camper for months or years.

The most the best thing campere is the ease of crafting from publicly available materials with basic tools and people with basic building skills so you can make one for yourself or they can be quickly crafted for homeless housing or disaster relief.

Now let's build one! Below are detailed plans and drawings from which you can easily create yourself such a camper.

The drawings include over 60 step-by-step diagrams and are easy to follow. By donating to the development of the site, you can see the full version.

The camper was originally designed to be easy to assemble, inexpensive, and protected from the extreme weather of the holidaymaker. This camper is light enough to be towed by a regular car or pickup and travels in tight spaces.

Communities ›Do It Yourself› Blog ›Caravan Walls Set (Materials, Technology). DIY off-road tourist trailer - part 7

Hello friends!
Summer was over, I was in a hurry to complete the frame before the rains came, therefore I did not post information and video for a long time. My caravan has already been put on the wheel, and even managed to roll to the Lipetsk region to test it in the field.

I'll get to the story about the tests, but I can only note that the tests went very well! I'm really happy! Fuel consumption for a car on the highway is 9-9.5 liters. coupled with a caravan, without a caravan 8-8.5 liters. depends on how you press the pedal. City with a caravan 13 y. without caravan 10-11 y. Well, okay, I'm not going to tell everything here, otherwise it won't be interesting later! :)))

Let's go back to the topic of the homemade mobile home. After I finished the floors, I proceeded to build the walls. In order for the walls to stand straight, I first set the back wall and put the side walls against the back wall. When everything came together on a diagonal measurement, I put up the front wall and began to cover the roof so that the walls would not come loose. Then I put a partition between the passenger compartment and the luggage compartment. And then it occurred to me to make one more extra bed, instead of huge lockers, where there will be nothing to put so much.

Off-road mobile home. The back wall is installed.

Off road trailer: the side walls were set up and the future forms of the caravan were determined.

It took me 3 sheets of 15mm plywood for one wall. Each sheet weighs 25kg, which is 75kg in a compartment. This is, in principle, not much, but all the same, excess weight is not needed, and it is better to fill the perforated areas with Polinor sprayed insulation rather than leave 15mm. plywood. The thermal insulation coefficient of Polynor is an order of magnitude higher than that of plywood, therefore, by perforating the walls, I kill two birds with one stone. 1. I make the structure lighter, 2. The mobile home will be warmer. Well, this is all not to the detriment of the rigidity of the frame, since there are two partitions in front (outer wall + partition luggage compartment). In addition to the walls, inside, in the middle of the module there will be two additional reinforcements, I will talk about them a little later. Such a design will not allow the walls to loosen on strong bumps and even protect the frame from the side strong blow, for example, about a tree. Those. having received a good side impact, without such reinforcement, the frame can lead a little in the opposite direction, which will lead to the frame swaying in the future, cracks will appear and the caravan will gradually begin to collapse, and so that this does not happen, I have foreseen different types gain. I will tell and show about this later.
After perforating the walls, which I performed with a jigsaw right on the spot, I proceeded to pasting the outer wall with 0.4mm galvanized sheet, gluing it to the SoudaFlex 40 FC polyurethane sealant. When perforating, it is important to understand how the sheets will be laid down so that the joints of the sheets do not fall into the perforated places and a void does not form there.

Self-made mobile home: work went on to perforate the walls to facilitate construction.

But before pasting the walls with a galvanized sheet, I attached 20x40 aluminum profiles vertically inside. The goal was to give rigidity to the frame, so that the windows and the door sat in a frame made of a profile, so that with further finishing and additional reinforcement of the frame, it would be possible to attach to something. Also, this method helps to fasten together the sheets themselves, the size of which is 152x152. Two of which lay down in length + superstructure above them to reach the desired height in the caravan.

Pasting a motor home with galvanized sheet 0.4mm

Separately, I will also shoot a video outside to show the places where the walls are attached to the frame, so that it is clear how and in what places I reinforced the walls in order to avoid swinging.

The caravan's locker is fitted with a 200Amh battery.

Expedition trailer. - DRIVE2

So we dangle ...

So, after another trip to Karelia, I caught fire with the construction of an expedition trailer. I got tired of turning over the whole shmurdyak in the car every evening to arrange a berth, and in the morning I put everything out again.
The brief TK looked like this:
In the trailer we sleep, cook and eat. We transport tourist belongings (tents, sleeping bags, awnings, etc.), food, chainsaws, stoves, etc. with maximum protection from moisture. Boat, motor, catch and other smelly luggage-in a separate volume.
We hide under an awning from heat and precipitation. The trailer should not limit the geometric passability. Preparation of the bed and the kitchen should take a minimum time (up to 5 minutes).
And most importantly, do it yourself using scrap materials in the garage.
I studied the very scant information on the internet, figured out our experience of autotravel.
We built it with a friend, not AnVir, of course, but for ourselves.
Surprisingly, wherever we stop with our trailer, fellow citizens have a huge number of questions, from the primitive "why?" to pleasing ears and pride "how?"
Why-already wrote.
How-here:

www.uazpatriot.ru/forum/v.....ewtopic.php?f=153&t=21174

I will add that due to systematic merciless exploitation, the trailer is in the stage of constant modernization.

Actually, here:
