A 12 ft. FEATHERLITE conversion

A few construction ideas that could be of use to us:

Part 2. http://www.cheaprvliving.com/blog/update-ford-transit-connect-ftc/

P.S. Same here on the redneck-hippie-mountain man-cargo trailer. (Sorry, I couldn't find more photos of it.) Far preferable to the King-of-the-World one.

I really liked that build too. If I remember correctly he was living in it while going to school. He could also fit a fair sized sailboat in there.

I finally found a link to it again.... https://tinef.wordpress.com/tag/convert ... o-trailer/

Whoa, thats it, but upon further review, clutter central!

[Rainier70]

I liked his bed lift and wood stove. He had 2 people and a large dog living in it full time and still converting it to carry the boat. Some upper cabinets or other solution would have been helpful on the visual clutter.

Thanks for finding that Cindy!

This looks a whole lot more complicated--though smaller--than what we've got.

... and the copilot/security guard looks ready to move on ...

While not a full time rig, thought I would share a previous camping rig I built.

Until I was 52, I competed in off road motorcycle endurance events around the nation, which often required travel to/from race locations many of which involved a 2000+ mile round trip. Events included 24 hour races, multi-day long distance endurance events and others. Since these events were in remote locations, I needed a camping rig that allowed me to drive until I was just too tired to continue, and then craw in the back for a nap, all while keeping my race bike safe and secure inside the van. Here are a few pictures I snapped on a trip to an ISDE qualifier event.

From the front:


From the rear:


Pits support was provided by a sponsor once I arrived, but the van was still my home for the entire trip. It was insulated, carpeted and included a 1500 watt inverter to run the microwave, TV and other assorted electronics. Didn't have a bathroom because of the room required for my bike and the trade off for racing essentials like extra wheels/tires, nitrogen tank, etc, but I managed. A trailer was out because of the lower speed limit required while towing ANY trailer in certain parts of the country, as there was a big difference between 70 mph and 55 mph on a 2000 mile trip.

Prem, Howdy;

my thoughts went immediately to Tim Conway's Dorf character;

Hank,

Okay then. Which one is his trailer?

[Prem]

professorkx,

Wow! You had it all in that van, but didn't you worry that if you ever got in a collision that all that weight in the rear would come flying forward and take out the driver's seat?
