Cargo Trailer Remodel - Show Camping

[Zeek 2,286]

I decided I should make better use of my cargo trailer after being inspired by buckrancher and jimt1971's setup's.  I figured I'll give it a trial run at the June show.

WOW, you did a fantastic job with the trailer.    A lot of very nice touches, I am looking forward to seeing it for sure.

Zeek,

 

  It looks great. It will make sleeping at the show very comfortable.

I take it the vent hose is for A/C? If it is I would upgrade that power strip. Floor looks AWESOME!!

I was trying to figure out what the hose was for   .

But it does look fantastic!!

Love it !!

Yes the vent is for a portable AC like this one http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/FRIEDRICH-Portable-Air-Conditioner-4HGD1?gclid=CO2vnO7ruLcCFUyY4AodJSAALA&cm_mmc=PPC:GooglePLA-_-HVAC%20and%20Refrigeration-_-Air%20Conditioners-_-4HGD1&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=4HGD1&ef_id=UaNxFQAAAX2GZCPV:20130528125244:s

 

I found a hardly used one on Craiglist and stole it for $50.  I was afraid with the lack of windows it was going to get way too toasty to try to do it without one.  I plan on getting a large screen for the cargo door for days when it not so hot, but I have to much going on right now in the way of time and money to get that done before the show.

 

As far as the power strip, it rated at 15 amps and the AC draws about 10 so I figured I'll just keep an eye on it.  I'm not really going to have much more draw on the strip except for a light.

 

Although it's not in the picture, I also have a portable toilet for it too for those "middle of the night #1 calls" so I don't have to get out and pee on Bob's tent

Nice job Zeek! You gave me some great ideas to upgrade mine. I like the floor idea instead of using epoxy like I was. Also the A/C is a great feature. I just happen to know where one of those units are and is not being used so I may have to confiscate it! Really looks good.

Well done, sir, can't wait to see it in person!

[buckrancher 2,679]

Having flown in quite a few military aircraft, I thought that was the purpose of the tube going thru the floor.....

That looks fantastic Zeek! We need to give out an award for the nicest pimped out trailer!

Harbor Freight has a 7' by 16' garage screen on sale for $24.99 that you could cut down for the rear door. It's in this months sale paper.

How about a camper AC unit?

[welderman85 53]

that is awsome great job

[DoctorHfuhruhurr 137]

I think I'd have to put a window in for fear of getting locked in (either deliberately or by accident).  

 

May I ask what size that is?  Thanks
