Well,
its just a basic enclosed trailer at the moment. I figured out a way to mount my HF solar panels to the roof. I installed a spare tire mount and one of my old sears craftsman carpenter tool chest on the front today. I'll put the 12v battery in that.
I'm basically making do with stuff I have on hand. I'm making a removable shelf in the back to put 2 of those plastic 3 drawer chests on. It wont have a galley per se, but will have some storage space. I have a design for a small wash station and will have a few conveniences. I'd like to put a small crank out window in the door, but they're expensive, I'll have to wait on that
As soon as I've made my (extremely) limited elctrical runs, I'm going to insulate the interior with 1 1/2" of pink foamboard insulation, then 1/4" hardboard over that. I'm not sure what the overall R-rating will be, but it will keep the chill out.
It will be a very ugly, yet functional camper. :)

Cute little video. That looks like a very practical trailer. Is it for hunting by any chance?

Though I'm not much in the way of hunting, it could easily be a hunting camper. Just something to give me shelter for a few days at a time. I could also use it to haul my tools from site to site. Actually, thats how it started out and kind of evolved from there...

Just be careful hauling moose -- they'll throw off the CG something fierce! :lol: :lol:
