Thanks guys for all your input. I take it all into consideration and words of guidance while I'm doing this build.
This is all new to me and I'm looking forward to getting this done to suit our needs while riding. I do have some help.....Dcooper is helping along to ease the dismay of the "unknown" to me. I sincerely appreciate his help, guidance, and tools to Taylor Make this to what we need.

Not much has been going on with this build. I have been trying to get ducks in a row to begin this re-build. Looks like I'll be getting insulation Monday? and ripping the entire inside of this Enclosed Trailer out. First step, sell that frame and axles to buy insulation and new wall covering.
I have had the "donor camper" stripped down and ALL usable parts I now have in my shed awaiting a time to set in place. I think this build is gonna be more than I bagained for. I'm NOT an electrician or any sort of home builder. My abilities of this are very slim and it's a damn good thing I have someone helping me do this. DCooper is guiding me and helping me get all this done and 'teaching/coaching' me as we go along. He assures me the hardest part of it all is getting the wall covering off and insulating the trailer. I have confidence that this will be what we need, want, and can use for our aplication on use. It's going to be pretty simplified inside with the necessities that we can utilize, minimizing usable room to give more room to haul our toys around. The only aminity it will not have is a shower or toilet, other than that.....it'll be loaded as much as I can stuff in the room allowed. Full kitchen, cabinets, microwave, stove oven, coffee pot, drawers, storage pantry, table, queen size bed, and much more. I have a guy from another forum drawing plans up on auto cad for me with exact dimensions on how all of this will fit. Lord willing, ALL of this will be 100% complete and livable by end of November. If not, it'll be soon after!! That's my plan.

Good luck with your build.
That is great!! Having just finished with my tear down/insulate and reinstall, I would have to agree. This is the most manual part. The rest is just thinking it thru and installing it. I'm really glad you have help with this, you will have fun and learn a lot too. Friends are invaluable!!
Looks good!
