When will you be getting your trailer?

Converting Cargo Trailers into TTTs

Postby WCMoto » Thu Dec 08, 2011 2:21 pm

I've got mine but things got busy so I haven't done much beyond put in a foam mat floor. :(
I'm still debating whether or not to insulate the walls. Is it worth doing the walls if I don't do the ceiling?
I'm also a coward about cutting holes so I'm wondering if I can get by without a window.
After Christmas I need to make some decisions and get moving on it.

I would definitely insulate both, although you probably gain and lose a higher percentage of heat and cooling through the roof. I know that when I insulated my 6x12, there was a dramatic difference in the heat retained during cold camping trips. During the summer, the insulation does keep the trailer cooler, but I often times have it shut during the day...and with no windows, it still gets hot inside. Putting a white roof coating on the trailer would probably help cut down my summer heat problem.

Had my Homesteader 6x10 CT for several years now. Hoping to find the time to do a conversion after Christmas, though just hoping to be done (ready to use) by Bike Week in March. It's filled with bike parts right now.

Finally got it! drove 2.5 hrs to pick up my Haulmark Transport Vnose 6x12 single axle silverfrost cargo trailer, well worth the drive.. Very excited to start building. You will see a build thread pop up very shortly. Ordered with two roof vents, two 30x15 radius tinted slider windows, 6'' extra height, brakes, spare tire, and sidewall vents. Towed like a dream. Did not even know she was behind me. Way different than my Jayco jayfeather 197 that I used to tug around. stay tuned
