enclosed trailer living room

I see alot of campers pulling enclosed trailers and got to thinking. Does any one have an enclosed trailer set up as extra living space?
Im thinking after unloading my toy I could set up a Living room with easy chairs,entertainment center and some windows. If you have done this can you share a pic? Thanks Ken
  • I bought a 7x14' enclosed trailer with roof air and two 30 amp circuit feeding it that had been used for camping right before I got it. I wanted a portable shop so we could do some dirt filling and tear down the old building yet still have place for tools and a work bench. Rebuilt the ATV carb in it the other evening. It cost $1750 but if hitting the road I would put on four new tires and paint it to match/contrast with the MH. It is a 1995 model with three doors.

    I do not have a picture but it is just a plain white box setting on four tires. :)

    It would be a must if you need to sleep 3-4 teenagers.
  • There was a very nice one on here from a member IIRC was Supak. He did an outstanding job converting his trailer. When it wasn't hauling bikes it was a living room. The nicest job I have ever seen. It even went beyond a living room with extra batteries, inverter, etc. Wish I could find the thread but it has been several years ago.
  • If you are ordering a new one think about provisions for light, insulation, and bug free ventilation.
  • we lived in our Lance for 6 months and used our 16 ft enclosed trailer for a tv and craft room and it worked out well for us.
  • What a great idea... I never thought of such an approach and initially came up with no reason to look into it.. After reading this post, the thought process began to work and ideas I am going to explore.. If this activated my one remaining brain cell, I would suspect it will have the same effect on others... Hope they post their thoughts and plans on RV net to inspire the rest of us... Thanks for posting and as Roy would have said.. Happy Trails.
  • some friends have one to haul bikes and stuff it has lights and a side door with a velcro screen to cover the back.Its nice to have a little extra room for the kids to play in. We have seen a few people set them up as kitchens which looks nice.We have a Pontoon we pull behind our 5th wheel now or I would have one.
