Cargo trailer conversions?

[ElPollo]

Any of you folks build one of these out into a camper? I’m in the midst of that now. 7x14 with awning, solar, fridge, d/c heater and a/c unit, water tank and external shower, external kitchen and a king sized bed. The options to buy a finished trailer that would do what we wanted were too expensive, not that durable, and generally came with stuff we didn’t want or need. I’m interested to hear your thoughts and experiences.

We haven't really built ours out but kept it so we could move everything out and use it as an enclosed trailer when needed. It is 7x16 w/ 7' height.

I haven't taken many pics of the inside but the bed is a queen platform base from amazon and a memory foam 6" mattress. If hunting by myself I put the bed in the garage and put in a cot with a canvas cutter on top for padding. Having some extra floor space to spread out wet gear is nice when solo. It is wired for 30 amp and has an RV AC w/ heat strip. I added a diesel heater that works good for hunting seasons. For cooking we do everything on a Coleman stove, small Blackstone, or microwave. The black and yellow totes have all of our plates, cups, utensils, general camping needs. The second one has a backup buddy heater and space heater, water hose, and battery powered pump for pop up shower. Water we just use the 7 gal jugs in the picture. Under the bed is a spare tire, tool kit and jack, folding camp chairs, and pop up awning.

We sold our larger camper that was more limited where we could take it and build quality was less than impressive. This set up works good for the wife and I and has gotten more use in the last 2-3 years than our camper did.
