I wonder how I could get better at reading between the lines when I read the title of a new post, so I will stop getting discouraged after finding one more conversion that is of no interest to me.

Then we get heavy, labor-intensive cabinetry, ceramic floor tiles, awnings, bed frames made of 2 X 4's, over-insulation, house-like appliances, wiring behind the walls, industrial grade fuse panels, etc.
It seems like new posters come on, praising Simplicity, and then the conversion becomes an ego-monument of heavy wood paneling, fine woodworking, etc.
I wish there was a way to find the truly simple and lightweight conversions.

There is a guy on the facebook groups who has the fanciest build of them all, been working on it for years. He has never taken it camping... now thats a shame.
a more accurate metric would be "Nights spent in my project camper" under the username.

"Never taken it camping..." Exactly! It seems that many guys get sucked into this sub-cult by romanticizing travel and camping, and they see a cargo trailer conversion as an economical MEANS to that END.
But slowly, the MEANS becomes the END.
