I hope you only plan on boondocking or otherwise dry camping with it.
Very few if any parks will let you in with a homemade rig unless you've gone the extra mile to get it certified.
guess I've been to the "wrong" places. I have a 7x14 cargo trailer converted to a "mini" toyhauler. It has gas, living quarters etc. Since 2004 in addition to using it as a toyhauler for bike riding, we and now our son uses it as a camping trailer in parks. I've never ever had anyone even blink an eye about it when registering it or using it. In fact, many times people, including the park employees come buy to look at the inside to see how we set it up.
And I've seen many other people in parks and campgrounds that bring in a cargo trailer as well. most don't have propane, but I've seen some others that do. And they are "homebuilt" as well.
Does a park/campground have the right to prohibit entry for lack of certification? Absolutely.
