Well figured I would post this, give me a chance to ask some other questions, ideas etc. we had a little 24ft class c RV which was fun for the small size but we hated being stuck everywhere or having to pack it up Everytime. Had it's moments but layout was terrible....it was a learning experience. Starting looking at toy hauler trailers since we race dirt bikes, ride other bikes, kayak, all the outdoor things, but wow those are built worse than motorhomes. I was terrified to take one down a dirt road. So I'm going the cargo trailer route. Plan is minimal BS, fits the family of 4 and all the stuff. Needs to have a small bathroom. Been working on this for a bit now so on to the progress. Found this one that was already insulated inside, even had moto mounts inside already. Someone had built a Murphy bed up front that we took down, saved as much of it as possible to repurpose since the wood was in good shape. Night we got it![PXL_20231128_023236685.MP.jpg PXL_20231128_023236685.MP.jpg](https://expeditionportal.com/forum/data/attachments/721/721682-7e3b292925971bcf8f265fdfee06914b.jpg)
Tearing it down

The plan here is bunks up front that can fit adults if needed. Went down the RV toilet rabbit hole and decided on an ogo compost toilet, mostly it's smaller and easy to empty.

Box in the right side will hold the inverter, batteries charge converter and some other electrical stuff. It will have a renogy 400 watt kit and two 100ah agm batteries.

Charge converter will let me plug in if I want to, we do a combination of off grid and RV park stuff,l (the kids have fun there). Decided to make a bench that converts to the lower bunk.
