This is part of 2 of our 3-part series all about 80/20 aluminum extrusion which we used to frame all of our cabinetry in our DIY cargo trailer camper conversion. In this video, we talk all about the fasteners used to connect aluminum together. 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!
