Cargo Trailer to Camping Trailer

[DarrellS]

Got alittle more done today. Built the bed frame with a cabinet over the top and painted the inside. I ran across a good deal on some vinyl tile today so tomorrow I am going to lay a floor in it. I built the bed frame on hinges so it can be folded out of the way.

No offense and I know it will change as you go forward.....

,,,but it looks like a jail cell to me

BTW. I am super impressed with the projects you and others here on TKF have undertaken.

You may have just named it: "The Big House"

Once I painted it and stepped back, I thought the same thing. Maybe the floor will help break it up a little. If not i may have to figure out a way to add some color to it. Still have to install the A/C and wire everything, but the hard part is over. I am also considering cutting two windows into the side door and one of the rear doors (No bars on them though).

I like it ....The Big House!

Flourescent beer signs (Bud Lite of course) would brighten it up!

That is really looking good......

I had some 120 volt undercounter lites laying around from a job, so I converted them to 12 volts for my trailer. Still use the regular t12 bulbs just change the ballast.





The lite is 2 feet long and pulls 2 amps@ 12 volts. This same ballst with ignite any flourescent buld from 18"-4'.



The lite in the upper right is 120 volts and the lower lite is my new 12 volt lite.



Here is a pic of a 4' green lite made in the same way.



The ballasts are available from:

Took a deep breath and took a grinder with a cutting wheel to the doors of my trailer tonight to install a couple of small windows. After measuring about six times I cut the holes and installed the windows. They worked out very well.





I also got some of the wiring done. I sure do like these LED lights. I am running three-six bulb lights inside on 12 volts and they pull less than one amp combined. I also drilled a 3" hole in the side of the trailer to install the 120 volt power hatch and cord. The trailer is kind of utilitarian because I will still need to work out of it some . If I made it too nice I would not want to use it for work anymore.

I like the way those windows turned out,,,,,,,,,,
