Now I am back again to covert a Cargo Trailer to better suit my need for guest space, no camp ground toilet, and hauling my motorcyle when I go camping.
I stumbled upon a 2006 Express 7x14 on craig$list for a steal that already had an RV style side door, garage epoxy painted floor, rear ramp, a roof top AC/heat unit, in-floor tie downs, and wheel chock mounts setup for 2 staggered bikes or 1 centered bike . All system seemed to function well. One light had a bad ground and the trailer needs 5 new tires, but none the less a steal. The trailer came out of Florida and the underside looks near new.
This is the layout I am shooting for

The bed will flip up, but sadly I don't think I can quite make it into a true murphy bed do to the the interior ceiling height being a little shy. I have been reading up on insulating these tin cans. I think I will spray the exterior skin and sides with commercial spray foam to "seal" it, apply 3/4" battens to the walls and ceiling, and then add rigid 3/4" between the battens. The battens will also save oodles of time drilling and grommiting the wall tubings for my wiring. I have an A-liner that will be an organ donor for this project. I will be stealing lp tanks, stove, fridge, window or two, power center, etc. to keep costs down. I already stole a window out of it last night that will go patio side of my cargo trailer.

I ordered a Carefree Pioneer Lite manual crank awning that I look forward to receiving and installing. Here is how the trailer was when I picked it up. It had been sitting under some trees for sometime by the looks

And after its first wash with aid of Trailer Bright.
