Our New Truck(s)

We sold our RV, so it was time to find a truck to pull our 24′ cargo trailer camper conversion. We weren’t married to any particular make or model, only a good deal and I think we found it!

Our new truck is a 2005 Dodge 3500 Dually with only 133k miles on a 5.9 cummins diesel. We bought it for $10,000. The plan is to finish converting our 24′ trailer into a living space AND mobile workshop so we can travel the country and make DIY videos with you!

For those out of the loop:
We had an idea to travel the country in an RV and mobile workshop helping our viewers with their DIY projects called “Makers on the Move.” We left for a month in November 2016 and found the 40′ RV and 24′ trailer way too long. We sold the RV and are converting our trailer to include a living space AND mobile workshop. We needed a truck to pull the 10,000 lb trailer and this is it!

We’re Coming to See You! Submit Your Project Idea Now! (Fall 2016 Tour)

Makers on the Move is officially happening! We’ve decided we’re going to start our new adventure October 24th.

Here’s the plan – You submit a project idea that you’d like to build with us at makersonthemove.tv. If selected, we’ll work over email to come up with a design you like. You buy the materials and we’ll cover everything else.

We’ll come in our RV with the Ultimate Mobile Workshop and film the process from start to finish. We’re looking for fun, unique, and interesting projects that can be completed in a weekend (or week if your schedule allows).

Looking forward to meeting you!
