New guy with 7x12+V

Postby MMOLLECK » Mon Apr 07, 2014 9:29 am

Hey all, here is my new to me, 7x12 V nose trailer. Its a 2014, not even a year old. Interior is white vinyl walls (all caulked an sealed), RV door latch on side, twin 3500LB axles, floors have some sort of water proofing on them, I spilled my beer and it just balled up and rolled away! :thinking: My plan is to make it into a toy hauler for my ATV and basic sleeping area for me. so here are my thoughts: add two RV sliding windows, and a powered roof vent and while the walls are down doing that, I will insulate with R-board. Plan from there is to build a 36 inch tall counter/cabinet in the nose for storage. If you look close in the pictures, the front nose of this thing not only is a V nose, but also a slant nose, so an over head cabinet in the nose I don't think is doable, or be worth it. SO may put over head cabinets on the side. My best friend runs a local interstate battery warehouse, so he is going to wire me up a deep cycle battery (size TBT), and possibly a power inverter. I haven't really decided on a recharge plan for that battery, but for $200 on ebay I can get a 100w solar panel, so that maybe an option. For bedding, I will more than likely keep it simple and just use an air mattress. I would like to avoid anything fold downs on the walls…my ATV is wide, and once its in there, I have about a foot on either side of it. The only thing I am stumped on, is what to put on the floor. I wanted the garage floor epoxy, but with a water proofed floor, I don't know how durable it is. I also thought of checkered tile, but my ATV steers like a skid steer tractor. Im afraid if I the tires slide on the tile, it may rip it up. any way, here are pics, anyone with any input or tips on how to do anything, it would be greatly appreciated! prob won't be until next weekend until I can get started on it. The front counter, I would like to try to figure out a way to mount a small craftsman tool chest in :thinking:
