26' Cargo Conversion

[jhamihvfd21]

Just found this site a few weeks ago and enjoy see everyone ideas on there trailers. I have worked on my trailer in the fall but have stopped work for now until the weather warms up. We use our trailers to haul our atvs and did not like the small amount of space toy haulers offered. This is my seconded Converted cargo trailer i originally had a 7X16 that i bought already converted that we used a lot but it was tight on space so we sold it and bought a travel trailer. After having the travel trailer for 2 years and not hardly using it because we could not haul the atvs, the trailer the roof developed a leak and damaged the wall so our insurance company totaled the trailer. We decided that we where going to build a trailer that would suit our needs. I found this trailer on craigs list 5 hours from where i live and made the trip out to get it. I liked this trailer because it was in good good shape, Had Windows, Rv Style door, And an Awning.

Never too many pics!! Just a thought, you might check and make sure the amperage rating for the switch is compatible with the hot water heater. Very nice build!!

Have not had much time to work on the trailer but did decide i wanted to purchase a quite generator, did some research and decided i wanted to go with the Yamaha 2000 watt. checked prices at several different places and cabela's was $100 dollars less than anywhere else. Made the 1.25 hour trip to cabela's while looking in the bargain cave i noticed they had a Yamaha 2400 watt in there because it didn't have the box, he told me he could give it to me for $999.99 which is the same price as the 2000 watt. My choice was simple i went with the 2400 watt for the same price, the box would have just been more trash when i got home anyway.
