Having a barn or large garage area would really be a big help. Then you can tear it down to the trailer frame if you like.
Just changing out walls and such is really no big deal. You can find all you need at LOWES... Wood work as well as Electrical...
Have no idea how this compares cost wise to do the extreme mods or just find another trailer that suits your needs.
I have done alot of small changes to my OFF-ROAD Camper setup but it was mostly playing with better battery system setup to be able to survive several days camping off the power grid back in the woods somewhere. If you do it right it doesn't come cheap...
i would be Leary of playing with the roof structure or running down major water damage areas.
I'm also wanting to do some changes in my suspension and like what the Australia trailers do with those problems with their independent suspension wheel setups.. My OFF-ROAD trailer sits high off the ground and uses 15-inch off-road wheels...
My real problems is not having enough storage room for supplies and added electronics and external antennas supporting my emergency radio comms off-road alerts with the local Ham Radio community. This is my main excuse for wanting to be OFF-ROAD like we are...
My OFF-ROAD trailer has a 5x8 front deck and between that and my truck bed and back seat area we do get to carry some serious supplies. I still want to build on that idea evenmore it seems...
I might want to think along these lines making mods just to my 5X8 front deck to enclose things better like this Australia off-road setup does... My 12-foot box with this front enclosed deck would be very nice for enclosing things.
