6 x 10 Cargo Trailer Conversion Project
A used cargo trailer was converted into a combination mini-camper / utility trailer with:
- Shower & sink
- External gray water tank or hookup
- On-demand water heater
- 2-burner stove
- Mini-refrigerator
- 15 gallon swappable fresh water tanks
- 12v water pump
- 12 v lighting
- 120v Connection and sockets
- Solar panels & charge controller
- Inverter provides 120v AC from camper battery
- City water connection
- Mini-wardrobe
- Split fold-down beds (1/2 used for bench seat)
- Fold down table
- External remote controlled air conditioner and heater
- Powered roof vent
... all while still remaining usable as a utility trailer.
Why did I build my own mini-camper?
Having previously owned a large toy-hauler, the issues of having a large trailer were not appealing because:
- Larger camper means having to own a large tow vehicle
- The need to have or rent a place to store a large trailer
- Paying high gas consumption of the large tow vehicle even when you are not towing
- Difficulty in maneuvering around gas pumps and other tight spots
- A small camper, designed to suit my personal taste, met our needs very effectively
Pictured are the wardrobe, fridge, shower, on-demand water heater, stove, cabinetry
Interior completed with decent fit & finish and durability.
