This is the story of one couple’s beautiful, cozy, and stealthy cargo trailer tiny house conversion named Minnie. It’s a 112-sq.-ft. trailer turned into a very nice camper!
Why is it so exciting? Well, when you see it you’ll understand. But it features a king bed, full bath with toilet and shower, and a flip-up table. It’s really cool what you can do with one of these trailers, don’t you think? With this one, they used the area over the trailer hitch to create a spacious shower.

What do you prefer, a van conversion, or a cargo trailer conversion, like this? Obviously, this is going to be cheaper to build than most van conversions.

This looks so neat and tidy and very good use of space! I like it, and I like that it is stealthy
Very handy if you’re going to be boondocking!
Excellent Work!
Cozy!
Bright & Cheery 😉
Beautifully done. Great job!
Agreed!
impressive for sure. I like how they put the footrest in the shower, I have never seen that before and it is a great idea. I would want at least a curtain for the toilet room but that’s just me. All in all it’s a great little stealthy home away from home.
Hi Theresa! We addressed the open toilet fix in our follow-up video on YouTube. Thanks for checking out our cargo trailer conversion! 🙂
Yes the footrest is a neat idea.
Curious what the total cost of the project was? Very impressive!!!!
I do like it. I have thought of going this route. I am anxious if they could give a cost estimate
if done in a shorter time frame. People would be interested. Also the weight now its finished. It
would be nice to travel in.
Very nicely done! I’d add a stool/small ladder to get up to the bed, but that’s definitely a minor issue. First floor bed! Perfect…
You guys did a great job on this cargo conversion. As far as your toilet, it’s really not an issues. It is camping after all and a toilet inside is the most important fixture next to the shower. I really liked what you did in the back for storage, gave me a number if ideas. Thanks and job well done.
It looks amazing! I can’t wait to go see the YouTube videos of the build. Thank you for sharing.
