Has anyone ever seen, tried, or heard of converting a beverage trailer into an RV? I can see lots of advantages; low floor, good weight capacity, high ceiling. Biggest challenge: roll up walls. But there's got to be some major disadvantage since I can't find any examples or attempts at conversion. tia
It would be easier and cheaper to find a clean older travel trailer and just fix it up. it will have all the tanks/plumbing/wiring ready to go, just redo the whole inside new and paint or restripe the outside.
We have seen enclosed utility trailers converted. They had A/C, but commented they wished they had put in a couple of windows they could open and close.
They are heavy because they are made so strong. Take a look at brakes...if air brakes are going to have to convert them? Should be lots of cargo weight available when you get done. Maybe heavier than what your tow vehicle should tow?

Local ones have the racking that supports the cases of bottles as an integral spine to support the weight. Eats up a lot of internal room, and cuts the trailer in half length-wise.
