What an excellent resource for we strange trailer folk~ thank you!
Have been planning, engineering and finally ordered my dream hunting/camping cargo conversion trailer and had factory create the following box for me: additional 12" height (7'4" inside), 30"X30" tinted operable windows each side, 36" RV door w/ 15"X30" tinted operable window, dual roof vents, dual side vents, custom upper and lower cabinets with center 12V lighting under upper, 30amp complete 110V system w/ 30' lifeline~dual flourescent ceiling lights~110V GFI outlets scattered~dual 6V golf cart batteries under lower left cabinet (where 110V subpanels are), fully insulated walls~ceiling~floors, dual exterior 110V GFI outlets, complete LED package exterior w/ additional LED lights on front & sides, color matched to my 3/4 ton Duramax and chrome wheels & other minor modifications once it arrives.....CB w/amp & 102 whip, complete soundsystem (deck, MP3, Amp w/ internal speakers and external speaker jacks, 54 galon fresh water tank inside under bunk (to be installed), Mr. Heater Big Buddy propane indoor heater w/ 20 galon propane tank feeding it from front, carpeted w/padding, hardwoods infront of cabinets first 5' and other personal modifications as it arrives are planned.
Two big questions:
* Am going to build out a folding queen bed in the rear that will fold up from the bottom attaching to the side wall up top. Was planning on piano type hinges with hinging legs as well. Does anyone have a more practical or better solution?
* Will be adding chair rail, baseboards and crown molding because I am a complete freak. Would like to "paint/seal" the insulated 3/4 plywood walls and was wondering if someone had a product they would reccomend?
The beast shall arrive late August and I will post pictures from the day I pick it up and haul her home. It should be an amazing core & shell for what I want to accomplish.
Please share any thoughts, questions, comments or concerns you may have.
