@Neal Need a new forum!
So! I have been involved with revamping my cargo trailer. At the present time I have about 2 months into the project. There are pros and cons to cargo conversions! But I was fully aware before I started.
If you don't put windows in it, you can stay in most parking lots overnight without being noticed! I don't, but many do!
Because most RV parks don't accept them in, you must be willing to disperse camp! That is my preference, so works for me!
So the question is asked, " you have a fifth, why you doing a cargo conversion?". Well I previously did the conversion thing about 8 years ago, and have seen people try to convert, that became discouraged! So I am making a showcase of ideas developed over the years to help give people some ideas.
The cargo I have is 6ft headroom 7wide, and 16 long. Pulls much easier behind my PU, therefore a better choice to travel. Behind my truck, I don't see an increase in MPG, so that is a moot point!
Although I am moving in, I am still using it for storage. So clutter will be in my pictures. I plan to only move those things over that I feel essential from the fifth, so I know what I don't need during the coming summer season!
This I mention, because it may help others determine what, or how to setup their new RVs. Hopefully by January I will be able to display this trailer at the RTR event in quartzite AZ, at least that is the plan!!!
At this point this is what I have!
This is a construction zone so Don your hard hats!!!
