Some travelers and outdoor enthusiasts prefer DIY caravans to ready-made ones. The choice is explained not only by the lower cost of homemade structures - you can think over the layout and equip the interior as you wish. Before you build a home on wheels with your own hands, you should learn more about the process of making motorhomes, decide which option is better: a caravan or a camper.

Original motorhome

The device of a motorhome and a caravan

Regardless of the type, the motorhome should have minimal amenities: sleeping places for each traveler and an area for cooking and eating.

In addition, inside a minibus or trailer there may be:

• wash basin;
• gas stove connected to the cylinder;
• shelves, lockers and other storage systems.

RVs designed for long journeys usually have a bathroom with a small shower.

Making a motorhome for yourself, with your own hands, you can provide for the presence of a bathroom and everything else that may be required on a trip.

DIY motorhome making

A do-it-yourself mobile home is made on the basis of a van or trailer. Buses are suitable for this purpose - a spacious cabin, a high roof make it a good candidate for remodeling.

Before converting a trailer or van, find out the conditions for registering caravans with the traffic police.

Motorhome bus

The construction of a mobile home consists of several stages:

• drafting a project;
• carrying out external and internal work;
• communication device;
• placement of furniture.

First of all, you need to decide what to take as a basis: a trailer or a van. The first option is more labor-intensive - the van already has walls and a roof, and in the trailer they will need to be built independently.

DIY motorhome based on a car

To create a mobile home, a car or, for example, an old bus is used. A vehicle for conversion into a house is chosen based on financial capabilities and the number of people who will live inside the building.

Depending on the number of residents, they think over the design of the mobile home, as well as its content. To make it easier to work, make a plan.

RV based on a cargo van

Before making a motorhome, you need to stock up on the materials and tools necessary for work:

• grinder;
• car paint;
• screwdriver;
• welding machine;
• thermal insulation;
• finishing materials (plastic panels, lining or other);
• moisture resistant plywood;
• carpet;
• fasteners (screws, nails, dowels);
• polyurethane foam;
• primer;
• paint brushes;
• sealant;
• metal brush.

Outdoor work

When the drawing is ready, the design is thought out, they proceed to external work. Would need:

1. Clean the car body from rust and other damage. If paint has come off the surfaces, clean it off.
2. Make several holes in the van for the windows, if they were not there initially. At the same time, cut out ventilation holes.
3. Determine the location and cut openings for exhaust gases, drain holes and other communications.
4. Cover cut areas, areas where paint has been removed with a primer to prevent rust formation. Wait until it is completely dry.
5. Paint the exterior of the van.

RV based van

Internal work

If you plan to separate the cab from the living compartment. Then the partition is mounted either with fasteners, or the metal frame is welded to the body with a welding machine.

First, the body is covered with heat-insulating material. Any insulation designed for residential premises is suitable. To fix the material on the walls and ceiling, hardware is used made of the same metal as the body - this technique will help protect the car from rust.

If the selected insulation does not tolerate contact with water, it will be necessary to additionally lay waterproofing.

Insert windows. Move on to wall decoration. For cladding, we choose moisture-resistant plywood. The sheets must be quite thick to withstand a serious load - they will subsequently be used for attaching cabinets, shelves, and furniture.

Work starts from the ceiling. Having fixed the sheets there, they sheathe the walls. Further, a wooden beam with a thickness of the height of the heat-insulating material is attached to the floor, insulation plates are laid between them. The floor is covered with plywood, fastened to the timber with self-tapping screws.

The salon in which the kitchen is located and the shower and toilet should be separated using a frame partition.

Plywood can be painted, varnished, or carpeted. The latter option also serves as additional thermal insulation. A special glue is used to fix the carpet.

The next step is the device of communications in accordance with a pre-drawn scheme: electricity, heating and ventilation. The cable, water and gas pipes are laid either on top of the inner lining, or they are mounted simultaneously with the installation of the insulation inside, making holes for the outlet of communications.

Furniture

The furniture for the motorhome is selected individually. The necessary furnishings include:

• table with a bench for the dining area;
• bed or sofa bed;
• hanging shelves and lockers for storing supplies, clothes, bedding;
• washing.

Since the furniture is subject to increased stress during the movement of a mobile home, it must be of high quality, strong, have reliable fittings and a minimum of moving elements. Make sure that the cabinet door will not open during a sudden turn and the contents will not spill over the cabin.

All furniture must be firmly fixed, it is desirable that it be fixed at two points: on the floor and on the wall.

Interior solutions in a motorhome

DIY caravan from a trailer

Making a mobile home from a trailer is more difficult than remodeling a car. In this case, you will need to build from scratch the base of the floor, walls, roof.

For the construction of a camper, single-axle trailers are most often chosen that can withstand a load of up to 1 ton. Therefore, it is necessary to select materials for the frame, taking into account the weight of the future structure.

A camper trailer is erected using a frame:

• metal;
• tree;
• sandwich panels.

The most affordable and relatively lightweight material for making a house on a trailer is wood. It is easier to work with and does not require special tools to connect the elements.

Frame

To make the frame you will need:

• timber 50 * 50 mm;
• moisture resistant plywood 10 mm for walls;
• plywood 12 mm thick for the floor;
• fasteners (screws);
• screwdriver;
• drying oil, brush;
• galvanized corners;
• jigsaw;
• metal profile for the roof;
• galvanized steel (for external cladding);
• silicone sealant;
• insulation.

A preliminary drawing of a future caravan-trailer is drawn up, only after that the purchase of building materials for the manufacture of the facade and roof of a house on wheels is carried out.

The minimum parameters of the motorhome are 230 * 160 cm. The height of the building is from two meters. With such dimensions, inside the living compartment, you can organize 2 berths, a dining area and a sink. If there is a need to equip full-fledged housing with everything you need, then the size should be increased by 2-3 times.

The process of making a motorhome trailer

Work order

1. Remove the side from the trailer.
2. They clean the chassis, paint it with an anti-corrosion compound.
3. If there is a sufficiently strong base, the logs and the lower frame of the frame are fixed directly on it, if it is absent, then the frame is welded from a metal pipe 50 * 25 mm.
4. The bottom strapping is carried out from a bar 50 * 50. The side elements are connected to each other using lags. Lags are placed at a distance of every 20 cm. Metal corners are used to connect them to the timber.
5. Cover the wooden elements with linseed oil in 2 layers.
6. Insulation plates are placed in the space between the lags.
7. Cover the base with 12 mm plywood, fixing it with self-tapping screws.
8. Go to the frame racks. The beam is connected to the lower strapping using corners and self-tapping screws. After that, the upper strapping is performed.
9. Cover the entire structure with linseed oil.
10. In places where windows should be according to the plan, beams and racks are installed from a bar.
11. The sheathing starts from the inside. Plywood is attached to galvanized self-tapping screws every 25 cm along the perimeter of the sheet.
12. Grind the inner surfaces using a grinder. Cover with varnish.
13. Outside, the sheets are treated with linseed oil.
14. Insulation is placed in the cavities between the frame racks, the frame is sheathed with sheets of 10 mm plywood, which are pre-coated with drying oil on both sides.
15. The door is made of timber and plywood sheets. The door is installed on galvanized hinges.
16. Insert windows. A simple solution is Plexiglas sheets.
17. A self-made mobile home is sheathed with galvanized steel sheets. Self-tapping screws are used as fasteners, they are screwed around the perimeter at a distance of every 10 cm. The corners of the trailer are sheathed with a corner.
18. The joints of the sheets with each other and the corners are treated with a sealant to prevent water from entering the structure.
19. It remains to make the roof and roof. It is necessary to cover it with corrugated board, fix the sheets on galvanized self-tapping screws.

Internal layout

The walls, ceiling and floor are already sheathed, so all that remains is to paint or varnish them. If the size of the building allows, the shower and the bathroom are equipped with a separate room. A frame partition is erected, a door is hung. All the remaining space is divided into zones: a bedroom, a recreation and eating area, a kitchen. You will need to install sockets for electrical appliances, it is important not to forget about high-quality ventilation for a mobile home.

Furniture

To save space, transformable furniture is installed inside the trailer. For example, they do it on their own or purchase a folding table, a sofa bed. In the upper part of the walls, shelves are mounted in which things, kitchen utensils, and clothes will be stored.

Useful little things

What else is worth knowing before you start making a motor home:

1. For the outer sheathing of the frame of a trailed motorhome, you can use not only galvanized steel, but also a professional sheet.
2. If it is not possible to organize the ventilation system, you can cut small holes in the doors and close them with a mosquito net. If there are opening windows for ventilation, then this is not required.
3. In order for the mobile home to serve for a long time, the condition of the casing must be monitored, the metal must be painted if necessary.

The process of creating a mobile home on your own is quite laborious, it requires financial investments, a waste of time and effort. Therefore, proceed with it with full confidence that you will be able to independently develop a project and bring it to life.

If you decide to make a motor home yourself, you will need some basic knowledge, tools, a lot of patience and even more free time. And, of course, a reliable vehicle for creating a camper.

This article contains some pictures of a self-built RV based on a Volkswagen car. Most of the advice can be applied when building motorhomes based on other vehicles.

It is very important to read the next point before you start!

IMPORTANT! Before starting to create a camper with your own hands, it is necessary to legalize the implementation of such a procedure. In this case, you can prevent various legal difficulties. The rules differ depending on the country, so we cannot publish uniform recommendations on this matter.

First steps

Do-it-yourself mobile home construction consists of the following steps:

• Outdoor work
• Internal work
• Water supply works
• Gas and electricity
• Furniture
• Other

If the van is operated by only two people, there will be really a lot of space. If you are planning a trip of 3 or more people, you need to think over the number of seats. Remember to equip seats with appropriate seat belts.

How many sleeping places do you need? One of the options is the arrangement of a bunk bed for children. If you have enough space under the roof, you can make a "drop-down" bed.

At this stage, you should have a clear plan for the way forward. Sure, you can improvise, but it's much easier to have a well thought out plan on paper.

Outdoor work

The first thing to do when preparing your base vehicle is to thoroughly clean the inside of the car.

At this stage, you also need to think about the shape of the body as a whole. It's time to deal with body damage, rust. Local or complete painting of a car will help.

Typically, vans do not have windows, so you might want to consider installing them. They are needed to provide fresh air and sunlight inside the RV. Windows come in different shapes and sizes, the choice depends on your preferences and body characteristics.

During the construction of a mobile home, you will have to make several holes in the body of the car. These are openings for ventilation, gas outlet (in case of leakage), heater exhaust gases, water fillers, etc. Some of them can be done later, but it is much easier to resolve the issue now if you know exactly where they will be.

Remember to apply a primer wherever bare metal appears to prevent corrosion.

Build your own motorhome the right way!

Internal work

The van will most likely have a bulkhead behind the front seats. Some partitions are fixed with screws, others are welded to the body. The "Bulgarian" will help to solve the problem.

Remember to use protective equipment. Sparks can leave nasty stains on glass that cannot be removed.

The fun begins. The insulating layer is very important as it will protect your camper from outside noise and temperature. There are many materials that can be used. The choice is entirely up to you.

In this case, we used Armaflex material... It should be cut into pieces and glued. The main point is moisture protection. If the insulating material does not protect against moisture ingress, do not use it.

It is necessary to prepare insulation material, lightweight and waterproof plywood, and soft and flexible carpet.

Thicker plywood should be used for the side covers, since furniture will be installed on them in the future.

Use a wide temperature range adhesive or sealant to attach the insulation and carpet to the sidewalls. Because the camper van will be exposed to both freezing temperatures and the hot summer sun. Heating operation will also affect. In the case of using low-quality glue, the work will have to be redone again after a while.

Where to begin? Start covering the RV from the roof to the flooring. First, we mount the insulation and cladding layers on the ceiling, then move on to the side panels.

Use wooden planks on the floor to provide enough insulation space. The battens are fixed to the floor with a suitable sealant. Then a layer of insulation is laid, after which it must be covered with plywood. Plywood is fixed with sealant or screws.

Remember the water supply and the need for electrical cables and gas pipes. Wires and hoses can be routed through insulation or under plywood covers if you already know where all the fixtures will be installed.

Water supply works

A mobile home must have a cold running water supply. For this, two canisters of water are installed under the sink. A submersible pump supplies water to the tap.

If you need warm water, an extra sink or shower, the system will be more complex. Large water tanks can be installed elsewhere, for example, under the van. Hoses will be needed to connect the entire system.

When you make a motorhome yourself, you are only limited by your imagination.

Don't forget about waste water. You can install a suitable tank under the car, or run a hose through the floor to drain water into a portable tank or bucket.

Remember, used water smells bad in summer and freezes in winter. Therefore, you need to get rid of it as soon as possible, so a bucket may be the perfect solution.

How about a toilet? You can install one of the handy portable toilets.

Gas and electricity

IMPORTANT! Gas hoses and electrical wiring must only be installed by qualified personnel! They can pose a serious hazard if incorrectly installed. Build a motorhome yourself, but don't put other people at risk.

Propane in the camper can be used for cooking, heating, as well as connecting the refrigerator. You can do without it by using an electric stove and refrigerator, as well as an autonomous Webasto heater.

The gas cylinder must be stored in a separate place with openings in the bottom. Why should there be holes at the bottom? Because propane is heavier than air, so it will always go down.

It is even possible to make a valve to connect the gas stove outside the vehicle for future cooking outside the van.

Again, build the camper correctly for your own safety!

Electricity is necessary to start all devices designed for 12V. The system consists of a battery, charger / converter, control panel and many wires.

Do not forget about the external connector for charging the motorhome's battery from a regular power supply (110V or 220V). You can also use it at home by charging the battery during winter storage.

In order to determine how much battery capacity you need, you will have to perform simple calculations. Let's say you would use the following:

• Halogen lamps: 2 × 20W 2 hours a day = 80 Wh
• Refrigerator: 45W 12 hours a day = 540 Wh

The total power consumption is 620 Wh per day. Now divide 620 Wh by 12V and you get 52Ah. This is your daily power consumption. Typically, a 100Ah battery will last about two days of battery life.

Make calculations taking into account the energy consumers you are using. This will help you get the average daily electricity consumption figures.

Gas and electricity are very important issues to consider when building a camper. If you plan to operate a motorhome for traveling far from civilization, autonomy should be maximized. Take your time, think carefully and calculate everything.

Furniture

In this matter, you are also not limited. You can safely realize your dreams. There are many ways to make and install furniture.

Sometimes quite suitable furniture is found at various disassembly, we advise you to search. Quite good offers sometimes appear at online auctions, and furniture is sometimes sold at an affordable price.

You can also design everything from scratch. Some firms sell ready-to-install parts covered with veneer. All you have to do is apply varnish (if necessary) and install furniture. You can also contact a professional who will help you in this matter.

A mobile home is a type of vehicle that combines a means of transportation and living space. This type of housing became widespread in the middle of the last century.

The motorhome can accommodate up to eight people. Each inhabitant of the dwelling can sleep on a separately equipped sleeping place. There is also a small kitchen built into the mobile home. Of course, the availability of equipment and functionality varies depending on the model of the house, but many have:

• gas stove,
• oven,
• sink,
• cupboards for cutlery and crockery.

Interior layout and construction of a mobile home

In more luxurious models there is also a microwave oven and a grill.

Furnishing of a mobile home

A mobile home can be equipped with a bathroom. As a rule, it is represented by a dry closet, shower and washbasin. Later models of RVs are equipped with a separate shower cubicle.

In a RV, the driver's and passenger's seats have a movable base. Thus, during parking, these places become part of the living space. The RV can also accommodate a room, most often it has U-shaped upholstered furniture located in the “tail”.

Mobile homes can be divided into several types. For example, by the type of construction, they can be trailed, with living quarters in a van, or combined with the vehicle itself. They can also be divided into motorhomes, which are used for travel or for permanent residence. Mobile homes are more equipped and comfortable. Travel homes rarely have built-in toilets and showers and are not subdivided into living quarters and cabins.

A bit of history

The beginnings of a mobile home go back to the last century. Although, as the researchers believe, there were previously homemade versions of movable houses. These were mobile wagons in carts for people who were engaged in cattle breeding and horse breeding. In 1938, Jennings introduced the RV to the world by installing living quarters on the chassis of a conventional car.

Categories

RVs can be roughly divided into 3 categories:

1. C-class.

These American mobile homes do not have a lot of space and are intended for short travel. They are produced on the basis of large SUVs. For example, the driver's cab transforms into a double bed during an overnight stay.

2.B-class semi-integrated.

The design of such a mobile home is very similar to the C-class. The berth is fixed and located at the rear of the vehicle. This mobile home is very popular with couples.

Shared body with cab (integrated)

3. A-class integrated.

This type of mobile home, which looks like a bus, is the most comfortable. It is built on the chassis of full-fledged trucks, and due to its large mass it is assigned to the transport category "C". These motorhomes are the most expensive mobile homes.

The house has a fixed driver's seat with a large windshield for a better view of the road and surrounding landscape. Internal walls can be pulled out, thus forming different zones or additional sleeping places.

Diagram of the device of the A-class mobile home

These mobile homes are autonomous and have large supplies of water, gas and a generator, which makes them a full-fledged living place for their inhabitants.

There are also:

• Hybrid trailers. Outside, they are equipped with retractable tents for resting or sleeping while parking on specially equipped areas.
• Trailer trailers. This is usually a small, drop-shaped trailer. The main advantage of such mobile homes is the ability to move the trailer with motorcycle equipment.

• Theveswil trailer. A trailer that is little more than a trailer trailer. Such a mobile home must be transported by a vehicle equipped with a special coupling device.

Other names for mobile homes

The term “camper” refers to the classes “B” and “C”, and the term “motorhome” itself is applied only to the class “A”.

Campers especially popular in America

In some countries, the term "vinebago" refers to all mobile homes, regardless of their class or type.

Luxury mobile home

Exclusive models have no competitors either in comfort or in price. Their design has become a new concept, making this mobile home the most functional and most comfortable. Such a motorhome has a fairly spacious interior made from the best types of finishing materials.

Mobile home with all conveniences

In such a house, a handmade bathroom is covered with glass tiles. The bathroom fixtures are made of copper and the handles are made of crystal. The shower cabin is made of onyx. The ceiling of the driver's cab and the seats are covered with mother-of-pearl Italian leather, the dashboard is made of natural African wood. The living area has a sofa with two electrical modules. The salon is equipped with a bar. The dining area features a stunning onyx table.

In the residential part, there is a small office with a laptop, the monitor of which is a 17-inch wall-mounted screen. Also in the office there is a multifunction printer and a lot of boxes for various purposes.

The ceilings along the entire length of the mobile home are covered with all kinds of sculptures made of copper sheets, and the lamp is decorated with beautiful crystals, which is a nice addition to the comfort of the dining area.

To fully appreciate the exceptional character of this motorhome, you need to see it with your own eyes. The description simply cannot convey all its luxury.

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 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.

In this case, a mobile platform acts as the foundation, and its base is made by a welded metal frame. The dimensions and shape of a metal platform with wheels are purely individual and depend solely on the wishes of the owner. You can make such a platform either completely independently or re-plan a purchased caravan or an old car. Michail Rybakov

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 wood can be useful 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, reciprocating 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 a regular 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)

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.

The original design of movable houses was developed at the dawn of the last century. Thanks to its functionality, the idea of ​​equipping housing on wheels has also migrated to domestic spaces.

The device of housing on wheels

If standards are adhered to, a mobile mobile home should be able to sleep eight people and have a compact kitchen. The rest of the benefits of civilization provided for in traditional housing vary depending on the model chosen. Most of the designs include:

• sink and gas stove;
• shelves and cabinets;
• oven.

Adherents of comfortable living conditions are offered luxury models of housing on wheels, equipped with:

• grill and microwave;
• a bathroom made on the basis of a dry closet;
• washbasin and shower.

With a sufficient area of ​​the structure, the tail section is equipped with a separate room with U-shaped furniture.

Remark! The spaces for the driver and passenger in the RV are movable, which provides additional space when parked.

The ancestors of unconventional mobile housing are considered to be vans, whose design was subordinated to the needs of pastoralists; the mass production of mobile homes began in 1938.

Motorhome classification

Before proceeding with the implementation of the plan to make a house on wheels with your own hands, you should study their gradation and choose the optimal design, which are:

• van;
• trailed;
• houses combined with the driver's cab.

The duration or frequency of use also plays a role. What is the goal of becoming the owner of a mobile home:

• the ability to travel without resorting to hotel services;
• have original housing for permanent or long-term residence.

A long stay in a mobile home necessitates the need to worry about increased comfort conditions, which is not required for short-term travel.

The classification of mobile homes, based on the degree of integration, includes the following categories:

• The A-class value is assigned to fully integrated structures. These mobile homes look like a traditional bus, offer high levels of comfort and are an elite mobile home category. Indispensable attributes of a mobile home belonging to category A: a large windshield, a stationary driver's seat, the presence of retractable partitions that make it possible to competently divide the interior space of a mobile home on wheels. A generator, gas cylinders and compact containers with a sufficient supply of water allow to ensure an autonomous existence.
• Category B has a significantly simplified design. A distinctive feature from the most elementary models of housing on wheels is a stationary berth installed in the rear of the vehicle. The most common use of mid-range mobile homes in the Americas is young couples.
• The C-class is represented by small houses that provide owners with living space during short trips. Often they are converted from SUVs; you can get a double bed in them thanks to the transformation of the driver's and passenger's seats.

There are combination caravans that are difficult to categorize, including:

• Hybrid trailers equipped with retractable tents on the outside. They allow you to organize short-term vacations on rental sites.
• Small-sized drop-shaped trailers provide the ability to move a mini caravan by means of a motor vehicle.
• The trailer, which is larger than the standard wheeled housing, is called the Fibswil trailer. Its transportation is carried out by a car with the obligatory presence of a special coupling mechanism.

Car conversion

The task of making a homemade mobile home is preceded by careful preparation. You will need a large arsenal of tools and equipment, a supply of time and effort.

Important ! A preliminary study of the legal framework will help avoid unpleasant situations upon completion of construction. The mode of transport, the size of housing on wheels must comply with the current regulations.

At the initial stage, the number of residents for whom the mobile structure of the house will be intended is determined. Based on this number, transport and interior decoration are selected. You can draw up a detailed plan on paper. Specialized computer programs will help simplify the implementation of a mobile home project.

Then they go directly to the vehicle, most often they use the body of a truck for mobile housing, less often they re-equip the bus. So:

• All foreign objects are removed from the body, dents are straightened, peeling paint is cleaned.
• The structure of housing on wheels cannot be imagined without windows, therefore, in the initial absence of them, openings for lighting and air ventilation are prepared in the building.
• If a mobile structure is planned for long-term housing, gas valves and vents are indispensable.
• Bare areas of metal structures are treated with a primer, this will prevent premature corrosion of housing on wheels as a result of aggressive environmental influences.
• Thermal insulation of a mobile home is an important aspect of construction work. Mineral wool, plywood or foam foam will perfectly cope with this function. In addition to thermal insulation, they prevent condensation in the mobile home.

When purchasing metal fasteners, take care that they are made of a material similar to the vehicle body. This will create an additional barrier to corrosion processes.

The interior decoration is designed to create a cozy atmosphere in the construction of housing on wheels. In addition to moisture-resistant plywood, carpet is used for these purposes.

For the side walls of the mobile home, thickened panels are prepared, equipped with strips for fixing the furniture. Experts with experience in equipping housing structures on wheels recommend that prior to installation work with side surfaces, align the ceiling.

After finishing the walls, they move on to installing furniture in the house.

Having completed the arrangement of housing with a place of rest, you can switch to the technical equipment of the construction of a mobile home. For water supply, you will need to install small pumps under the sink, supplemented with cans of water. If you want to equip housing on wheels with increased comfort, you will need large containers for taking a shower.

Attention ! The mobile home's water supply is inextricably linked to wastewater, so worry about having an extra reservoir. A traditional garden design is suitable for arranging a toilet.

Propane gas will help heat the structure of mobile housing and create conditions for cooking. The container with it is fixed in the lower part of the vehicle, and an additional ventilation opening is also equipped there. This will protect the RV from a leakage accident as the propane weighs more than the air. The best option for supplying power to the structure of housing on wheels is a powerful rechargeable battery, which will require an equipped external outlet during recharging.

Trailer conversion process

Having decided to become the owner of a mobile home on wheels, you can purchase a trailer-trailer, which will cost about half a million rubles. Having the desire to travel without overnight stays in roadside hotels and possessing the skills of assembling woodwork, it is quite feasible to re-equip an ordinary car trailer, getting a comfortable home on wheels at the exit. To do this, you will need:

• trailer with a sturdy chassis;
• wooden lining, slats and bars;
• metal profile for arranging the roof;
• plywood sheets;
• fittings for finishing;
• tools for working with wood and metal.

Such a trailer on wheels for housing does not have a luxurious setting, but a compact bunk bed for a night's sleep is present. The structure is installed at the rear of the house, it is optimal to build it over the entire width of the trailer by connecting the side walls. This will increase the rigidity of the entire housing structure on wheels. The door is made of two halves, it is preferable to make a bay window and a little later.

The whole process of creating a mobile home from a trailer includes the following steps:

• The old structure is disassembled to strip the chassis and coat them with anti-corrosion paint. The frame is made of pine boards, props are prepared in the right places.
• For the frame, slats of 2x2 cm will be required, additional strengthening of the future mobile home is provided by oak slats with a section of 3x3 cm, fixed on the sides. From above, the frame structure is tied horizontally with a rail.
• The installation of the side walls of future housing on wheels is performed from a lining with a thickness of 6 mm; it is recommended to use a material with a thickness of 19 mm for the front and rear walls.

  Advice! The thermal insulation of mobile housing will be increased by laying the material in two layers.

• Plywood sheets are used for installation work on equipment in the RV floor.
• Poplar beams are suitable as roof structures for mobile homes. They are fastened at intervals of 30 cm. Then the beams are alternately covered with plywood, waterproofing material and a small-section metal profile.
• The caravan body is equipped with a single window, which is located at the rear above the bed. Experts recommend making a window opening in the form of a bay window.
• For convenience and additional light, the door of the mobile home is equipped with a compact casement window. The castle is located at the bottom, if desired, the structure contains two locks.
• The lower space of the bed of the mobile shelter is used in two versions: under it you can equip a pull-out table or make an extra bed.
