This is part of of our 3-part series all about 80/20 aluminum extrusion which we used to frame all of our aluminum cabinetry in our DIY cargo trailer camper conversion. In this video, we talk all about the exact materials we used if you want to skip the complexity and just use what we used. We also covered design details and having your metal cut.

Be sure to check out the rest of this series to learn everything you need to know about framing cabinetry

As part of our journey to turn a 7x14 foot cargo trailer into a fully customized DIY camper / tiny home, we framed all of our cabinetry with 80/20 aluminum extrusion. It was a huge learning curve and hopefully this video will teach you everything you need to know.

We hope you enjoy this video and learn something along the way. For full details, helpful how-to’s, and in-depth build guides, check out our website and start your own DIY cargo trailer camper conversion!
