Hello all. My name is Josh and I'm a long time lurker who has recently purchased a new cargo trailer. It is a 16X7 with a 7' interior height. I am a big guy, 6'5", 300lb and I like to ride my multiple ATV's. I am the assistant parts manager for a major Prevost bus converter and have worked in the RV parts industry for over 7 years. It is this experience that has motivated me to build my own conversion, as I know that all the RV industry offers is overpriced junk that is nearly guaranteed to self destruct. Plus I have many of the skills needed to complete such a project and the support otherwise from my coworkers.

I have seen so many good ideas employed and they have inspired me to come up with some of my own. I have already started my conversion and am keeping photo record so that i can share my experience with those looking to do likewise. I will begin posting these very soon and I want to thank all of you on this site in advance for the info you will share, and also for the info already shared while you didn't even know it. Great site guys! Happy building and inventing to all!
