Novel use of an old RV

[Fire_Instructor]

Saw this video on a woodworking forum that I'm on, and thought that fellow RV'ers might enjoy seeing a great use of an old RV. Enjoy!

Kinda' neat and creative thinking! Small projects only though.

If I were to consider something like this I would most likely look for a defunct toy hauler... the business end of the garage side would allow for larger projects to get in and out.

During the years I was living in Nenana Alaska, I bought one of the 10 x 50 foot ATCO trailers (Alberta Trailer Company) which had been brought to Alaska for the construction of the Alaska Pipeline. They imported thousands of those trailers into the state from Canada. Ranged in use from bunk houses, comfort stations, offices, etc. The one I got had been an office so no bathroom in it. It had 2 x 6 walls, well insulated and I added surface wiring for all my tools.
One of the best shop building I have ever owned, especially since I think I paid about $2,500 delivered from the Fairbanks area and set up on blocks for me.
I installed a couple of wood burning stoves in it and spent many an hour in it butchering wood. LOL

X2, if I had a shop like that the first thing I would build would be a decent set of steps.

My favorite recent repurpose sighting was a vintage Airstream placed inside of a restaurant to serve as a private dining room. This shop TT can be #2 on the list. Good use for a TT with some life left in it.

It's definitely an interesting way to repurpose an old RV. And it can be moved if necessary.

At the end of the vid it appears that he gerrymanders a ramp w/ the cinder blocks and a piece of ply. Can't imagine him getting all that equipment into the space w/o it.
I'm sure in true artisan style he'll eventually decide on a more permanent solution.

Wow! I just built a huge shed to use as a workshop. This would have been a lot easier. Thanks for sharing.
