Sounds like fun except for the summer part and the Florida part! Lol
You said toy hauler, I read cargo trailer. Which is it, an actual toy hauler rv or a converted cargo trailer? Reason I ask is a lot of rv parks I don't think would consider a cargo trailer a camper. May have issues there. Better to check this out IMO. Going stealth? No problem.
Running any decent AC off of an inverter and solar charging, won't be much of an AC. I've saved a lot of $ by living cheeeeep on the road, but summer in FL in a homemade tin can every night doesn't sound awesome to me.
Like said above, there's a reason you don't see drywall in RVs. Actually a bunch of reasons. Please don't Sheetrock the inside of your rv or you'll be the star of Redneck Nurse, not Road Nurse!
Lastly, $5k should get you a small camper with built in amenities and a bath and working AC. I know you're excited bout your towable tiny home, but RV manufacturers make them for a reason. They're better than sleeping in a cargo trailer!
JMO.
I hear you, though no one I've talked to in an RV park cares that it's a converted cargo trailer. The guy I bought it from, who upgraded to a big RV, used it for extensively for this. Check out Youtube and you'll see some awesome conversions of these into stealth RV's. Its more of the mindset of doing it yourself vs buying an older 5th wheel. I don't want to tow something larger than this. The conversion on the actual trailer isn't that costly other than the solar, which will cost me the same on a motor home. My real goal is boondocking on the cheap, and this is the way to do it :).
