About a year ago I decided to build a chuckwagon to tow behind my car-camper to make cooking on the road easier. In this video I give a basic run through of how I built it. Technically it is called a ‘Yatai’ but while traveling other campers called it a ‘tiki bar,’ ‘sake bar,’ even a couple times people thought I was towing a dog house. But basically it is an izakaya on wheels.
Will post some adventures from the 20k miles I traveled with it, along with some camp cooking videos in the future.
Though if you can’t wait… a chronology of my trip can be found on my instagram ‘tokyocooney.’ You can also find me on Twitter and TikTok under TokyoCooney.
There is a post with a bit more detail on my website- https://tokyocooney.wpcomstaging.com/2022/12/23/honey-i-built-a-yatai/

You da man! Great Job on the cart
This is incredible! Can't wait to see the videos of your journey across America!
Merry Xmas Cooney!!! Hope you’re doing well!!!
looking great!
Nice Kevin
Good to see Cooney still doing his thing.
He’s back!
This is the sort of feel good content the world needs right now.
Surviving 20k miles is no joke. That's wicked
What a great idea! Glad the trip went so well. Looking forward to some more Tokyocooney videos.
😭😭😭😭😭😭
King. Is. Back.
When I was watching you eat squid ice-cream in a Tokyo skyscraper 15 years ago I didn't think that
A – I'd be watching new stuff of yours in the sci-fi future of the 2020s
or
B – It would be an HGTV American Roadtrip vlog
But it's all great stuff! Keep it up 👍
Cooney! This is awesome
Merry Christmas man
Good to see you posting a new video! (…Says Mr. Sporadic Uploader himself…😅🤔😅)
I hope you will be posting videos of at least some of spots you took those pics at! 🍻
Wow, I wasn't expecting your video popping in my feed. That gave me flashback of your icecream videos. Time flew by so fast.
Not sure if it was mentioned, but was you actually selling off from it?
This is Awesome. Your videos inspired me to start doing some road trips. Just drove around California and Nevada for now, but I had an amazing time and I hope to do more.
Wow, I love i!
I love it! Glad to see you're back at it again. One construction tip for the trailer that can save a lot of heartache – add "Locktite" blue to the threading of bolts. Otherwise they will vibrate loose over time. Much love can't wait to see more vids. Also – you look good with a clean shave man.
That's it. I am going to Home Depot today and building the shelf of my dreams. Thanks, Spiderman… I mean Kevin! xD
Wow! Merry christmas! This is actually an amazing surprise! So glad to see you!
This looks amazing by the way! I love the idea and turned out fantastic
That was inspiring and what a great idea of those Japanese food stalls.Japanese cart ride literally,you can pack everything you need to.
Great to see you back after a year. For a while, I thought you had gone into hiding again =). Hope everything is going well for you and your loved ones!
Gosh, I just love this.
