My box truck house and now cargo trailer conversion

Postby notoriouskelly » Sat Jul 07, 2012 7:55 pm

Hi- been great cruising your posts on this site- great tips and fun ideas! :thumbsup:

I'm nearing third year of traveling in an F450 box truck (16 foot box).
The 1st year plus I lived in it while traveling and am now renting a place near Glacier Park, Montana and converting this cargo trailer I just bought.

Spent last two winters in Arizona.

I hope to meet some of you out and about! :D

Thanks, Michael!

Here is my truck when I hit the road in November 2009:

I'm remodeling now & embarrassed to photograph the mess but here's my bed frame redesign:

I'm 300lbs + hence the beefy design.
Height is enough for 2 of my favorite storage containers stacked and bed sections are separately foldable for flexibility in carrying items on top.
