How's this for a CT conversion? What is that, a 8x40? Wouldn't want to tow it around much but it sure looks comfy. Needs more windows too. Look at the size of that galley!
Wonder if the designer is lurking here somewhere?

That's 320 sq. ft.
I've lived in smaller apartments.

People have different camping styles. For me, I would change the floor plan a bit for this large trailer....
- Kitchen is too big. Want a camper or rolling china cabinet? Sideways kitchen with few cabinets.
- Like the bath in between the 2 sleeping areas. Nice shower. Might try to group the bathroom plumbing in the same wall with the kitchen plumbing.
- Not sure about walking into the hallway from the side door. Maybe take out the hallway and have a walk through bathroom, or move the door back.
- Make the rear into a combination toy hauler / living area. That trailer is so large, it could have both.
Just my thoughts.... Bottom line is that cargo trailers can be made into what you want.

I think this one comes more or less out of Tiny House Movement rather than the RV world, so it's built for full-time living rather than camping.
The idea is to find a buddy with some property you can park on and rent for cheap, and live without a mortgage or utility payments. When the time comes to move, just take your house with you.
The fact that it's built on wheels rather than a foundation gets you through a loophole with most planning departments, so you also avoid property taxes. And that's IF they ever realize somebody lives there full time.
