A 12 ft. FEATHERLITE conversion

I'll take a plate or two of that!

Now THAT'S a tow vehicle!

[Prem]

No idea! . . . except it might be in New Mexico and I couldn't tow it with my Ranger.

Snowmobile trailers are very practical for converting to living space. No wheel wells inside; no fenders outside. Lots of width.

[Prem]

I almost bought this one back in 2007:



8 ft. 6 in. of width, same as the spread of the wheels on my cargo trailer.
One needs mirror extensions on the tow vehicle for the snowmobile trailer, and the extra interior width would be considerable. Plus, you'd have two porches (ramps) in fair weather. Needs a side RV door...which I had to install in my cargo trailer anyway.

Looks great if you like towing trailers with 10" tires

[Prem]

14 inch, 10-ply trailer tires, same as my son has on his single-axle, 3,500 lb. cargo trailer, except the snowmobile trailer has four of them. He's driven across country three times loaded.

Minor fantasy: Were I to order one custom, I'd get it with 6 inches extra height, no ramps, just barn doors on the rear, saving a lot of $, 14 ft. long with tandem axles. I'd get the side RV door and a big horizontal slider window just behind the door. I'd put three skylights in it and vent it a crank-up roof vent. Sounds like a vagabond's retirement home that should visit various beach towns in Oregon, California and Mexico.

Good fantasy. I keep having a similar one with a 7X14 and some minor tweaks from what I have now. But, the 6X12 gets the job done, with less weight, easier parking/towing, and its finished and paid for! These things are kinda like boats. "I like this one, but if I had a 22-footer . . ."

I've got 4 of 'em.
And of course, B.O.A.T. Break Out Another Thousand. Converted trailers are way better investments!

A hole in the water into which you pour money.

The two happiest days of a rich man's life: The day he gets his yacht and the day he sells his yacht.

I had a poor man's yacht and it took me 24 months to build:


After 5 years of use on lakes, rivers and the ocean, I traded it for three big, new gas-powered generators. I almost broke even. Not.

[Prem]

I just put one of these on my CT on the left rear door. On the inside, I wired in a 4-plug surge protector strip.



Now I have them at the front of the trailer and the rear.

Got them from a commercial marine supply store at the coast.
