    Building an enclosed utility into a camper vs teardrop

    I’m currently browsing the used market. Lots of climate controlled teardrops with decent kitchens in the sub-$10,000 price range I’ll need to find a used one, but maybe they’ll work. For full hardside manufactured trailers, it looks like most of them are crap in my price range and weight...

    Building an enclosed utility into a camper vs teardrop

    I’m surprised to hear that this cargo trailer would be so heavy. They weigh in at 1000# as they come (just chose a random cheap on CL that’s $1500 for reference) Crazy to think framing out some 2x2s would add a thousand pounds, but I’m no expert.

    Building an enclosed utility into a camper vs teardrop

    I’m sorry I wasn’t more clear in my initial post. The “where” is most accurately answered by saying “only where I can plug in and run the air conditioner” As for the weight, the only thing I intend to build is a simple wood frame for a bed, and walls with 2x2s. I can’t see that being 1000+...

    Building an enclosed utility into a camper vs teardrop

    Hello all. I’m looking at a 14 day trip next year, and hopefully several weekend trips. I’ll be towing with a minivan (3500 lb max- I would prefer to stay around 2000 lb) I need space to sleep 2 adults, one young child, and 3 chihuahuas. My primary concern is climate-controlled sleeping, and...
