Hey y'all!
New here and been lovin' the site
I went out this fall with my outfitters tent and wood stove and there aren't many things better than sitting by the stove with that first cup of coffee on a cold morning. Since then I've been toying with the idea of a camper with a wood stove but because of the floor space of most, it just wouldn't be feasible. I've seen a few flat bed trailers with pickup campers on them and I've been thinking that this might work, just adding a 6' x 7' room behind the camper for open floor space and a small wood stove instead of an atv and still have room under the overhang for cycles or snowmobiles, my trailer has a 21' x 7'4" deck. I can already taste the coffee and hear the stove heating up.
:coffeedrink:
I may be over thinking this but I have a few questions that I can't find answers for on any forums that I have found.
One is obvious. Eliminating moisture buildup between the flat camper bottom and the 2 x 6 deck on the trailer. I am planning on setting the camper on 2x4s or 1x2s length wise to leave airspace.
Two is not so obvious. Is the structural integrity of a camper such that I could simply bolt it through the floor to the trailer? When slid into a pickup, it just needs to be kept from sliding out. I would think that when mounted on a trailer there will be different set of forces working on it.
Those of you who have done this, how have you attached yours?
