Cargo trailer/Camping trailer

When we left California in 2017, one of the first things we did was to by a 16ft, v-nose cargo trailer. It's first purpose was to haul things from California, to South Dakota. Later, we decided to turn it into a combination cargo trailer/camping trailer. The idea was to be able to set it up to camp in, but be able to take things out when we wanted to haul cargo in it. It has seen a LOT of use for both purposes, and now we're starting to make it even better in the camping department. 

It didn't take long to realize the trailer was a bit under built for hauling, and that it sat too low. First, I took it to a good RV shop, replaced the 3,500 lb axles and springs, and 15 inch 6 lug wheels, with 7,000 lb axles, 5,000lb springs, and 16 inch 8 lug wheels, and put 14 ply tires on those. Then they installed a spring bar hitch. After that, I removed the 1/4 inch interior paneling and insulated the walls and ceiling with 1 inch ridged foam.  Then I installed another layer of 3/4 inch plywood flooring over the existing 3/4 inch plywood flooring, put the 1/4 inch paneling back on the walls, installed 1/4 inch paneling on the ceiling, then installed a layer of 3/4 inch plywood over the 1/4 inch plywood on the walls. I then took it back to the RV place, and they wired it for 30 amps of shore power, installed a 3 speed fantastic fan in the ceiling, a roof mount air conditioner, windows on each side wall, installed a window in the door, and installed a roof mount air conditioner. 

After all that was done, I built a bed frame, installed vertical E-tracks in the back, got clips to hole 2x4s, installed 3 of those with a half platform, and built a clothes rack over the open slot. I made some other shelves, and put a full width shelf across the v-nose. 

Last year we spent 4 weeks in the rig traveling, and decided on some mor storage type improvements.  The last couple days I installed a couple overhead cabinets, and a narrow 3 drawer dresser, and I'm looking for a 3 drawer night stand of the right size to go next to the door. We had a retractable screen door in there, but it was kind of flimsy, and last year our dog went through it because he couldn't see the screen, so today we bought a residential screen door, and I'll install it tomorrow. I also built, and installed, a new shelf/spice rack in the front V. When I'm done we'll have a ton more storage, and be much more comfortable. We have a lot more planned for the trailer, but these improvements will make our 2 week camping trip at the end of this month much more enjoyable. 

I'll put up more pictures when we get it loaded and ready to roll.
