Trevors 6x12 vnose Toyhauler build

[tdog2005]

Well i just picked up my trailer yesterday, it is a brand new Continental cargo vnose 6 x 12. From factory i had them add insulation in the walls and 4 interior lights and porch light, 2 roof vents and rv style door and 1 window and an additional 18" was added to the height of the trailer so that my polaris Ranger would fit in. Plans for the build are front base and wall cabinets built into the vnose. sink with mini water heater, electric wall heater, mini fridge, microwave. When i brought it home i installed some lay down flooring . This weekend i plan to do quite a bit on it, i will upload photo's as i complete my project.

that will be nice when you finish. I bought mine used. I would really have liked to have had more height, perhaps on an upgrade.

Trevor I like the flooring was it hard to do does it just float or is it gluded down?

I will be watching to see how you are going to add bed's

Hi Trevor,

I also like your flooring. Did that come in squares or is it a one piece sheet? I'm looking forward to see your plan for a bed.

Nice job.

The flooring comes in rolls and it is vinyl, its a very popular material for flooring as it is very easy to install, you do not have to glue this flooring down either, it is normally very expensive but most flooring places sell end of rolls. I paid 70.00 for this.

I started on the top cabinets today but mother nature stopped me, it started raining and i had to bring my tools inside.
The cabinets frames are made out of solid oak 1x4 and i used 1/2" melamine for the bottom of the cabinet. There will not be a door between the cabinets, i will be just installing oak plywood between there because i might want a hang a lcd tv there one day

As for the beds my original plan was to have a table setup that converted into a bed similar to a travel trailer but i was going to have it fold up against the wall and it would been made out of aluminum tubing, when folded down it would of been supported by legs that fold out on both sides. My ranger doesn't give very much room on the sides so this idea is out now. I will just be using a air mattress now.

It looks like you have celling height, maybe make a drop down bed from the roof.

I was thinking the same thing. Must be very small folk... or at least not as fat as me!
