Yes and yes on those last two. Even if it was 1200# that was my plan

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...

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.

Thank you for your response. I’ll continue to look now. My budget is a flexible $3000-$4000, though I’m mostly looking to avoid heavy depreciation. I considered something like a scamp that holds its value I just don’t want to spend $7500 on something that works for two years and is then only...

I wish I could afford such a thing; aluminum breaks the budget right now.

Primarily, the floor plans of campers leave very very little actual floor space for my pups. Though, if it has two beds, I could use one as the “dog area” There’s an older aliner expedition I might take a look at.

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+...

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...

Are you actually interested in the vehicle? At all?

$4000 is one heck of a deal. I can PayPal the $4000 right away :ROFLMAO:

Looks fantastic. What gears do you have? How are you loving it so far?

It won’t clear the steering wheel on the drivers side

All vans are a pain in the ass to work on when compared to their truck counterparts But vans kick ass so we live with it

If it ain’t rusty, fix er

You’re a people person, I’d bet.

Well, if you only need to sleep two people, this is will be easy within your budget, even with AWD. You can fairly easily set it up to sleep two and still safely seat 5 If you want the AWD in that price range your talking Astro/Safari. If 2WD is okay, you can get a larger full size van decent...

BOOOOOOOOOO VAN ****** For what it’s worth my wife hated the idea of a van until I bought one and she changed her tune. It’s like driving around in a motel room.

No build thread, not yet. Are you trying to sleep INSIDE and the vehicle, or camp out of the vehicle? If inside, How many people need a place to sleep?

I’ll give a better response when I have more time But 3-5k is enough, don’t get discouraged, there is a lot of people on this forum that are LOADED and their vehicles attract most of the discussion and attention, but your budget WILL work for a good adventure vehicle Currently I am $3100ish...

If you Lived in a salty rusty state where vehicles are disposable, sure. No way in hell I’d bother bringing a rusty car to SoCal.....doesn’t make much sense
