Maveric would love to see some more photos in what you have done! Decided to go polished aluminum on the outside . Got one side and the front done.

Had another weekend camping at the race track...photo guys for the track took one from their perch for me. Still undecided on what to do with the outside. I Checked into wrapping it and the cost would be about $8K. Would love to have some polished stainless but there are two many rivets to keep...

Sorry if I missed it.... Where are you located at? -35 can be pretty cold and I am curious how the non freezing plan will work out.....I can’t even get the pipes in my house to stop freezing every winter. Pics are always great. When is the expected completion date?

Have now spent 3 weekends in the rig, one at a horse show and two at the race track. Need to find time to finish the plumbing and get the windows in. Outside needs painted as well and I flip flop between painting and adding a thin polished stainless steel layer...again weight is nevwr going to...

Well my idea and some folks idea of camping are probably different. We are at a fairgrounds so we aren’t exactly roughly it. We pulled in yesterday and the first night in the new “camper” was great. My wife shows horses so that’s why we are here and what this was built for.....I get the luxury...

A few hours of swinging a large hammer and the brakes finally freed up on the trailer so we will be camping this weekend in her. She is ready to go and I am ready as well.

75% done! Interior just needs the toilet and holding tanks. Electric is done and to my suprise it worked the first time! Trailer has sat for so long that brakes won’t release. I worked on it for several hours today and got the front axle to spin but not the back. Any luck I will have it rolling...

Update Running low on time to get this trailer conversion completed. I gotta have it going in about 60 days if we are going to use it this year and there still is a lot to do on the trailer. The interior lights needs completed and all of the plumbing needs done. The truck is not even half way...

Almost two years now and still working on this project. I will have to get some updated photos but have the interior completed and all of the electrical wire done, I chose to run all of the wire internal to the trailer (exterior to the walls). Next few weeks I will start to tackle the plumbing...

I realize this is an old thread but you can roll the trailer for no more than $30 and your time. Best to use a flat color versus high gloss, at least in my opinion. If you want that high gloss you need to spray it.

The truck....

Interior of trailer looking at what will be the kitchen. The bathroom is behind the kitchen

There are already some things I would do differently and it by no means is perfect but the great part is that I am building it. Pallet walls are 80% complete and I have decided that I am not going to cut and RV door. Instead I am going to build a screen door on the side inside the existing door...

I have been plugging along but not finished yet. I have 1500 other projects around the farm that keep me busy but I have been back at the past few weeks. Keep in mind I also have the truck that I rebuilding as well. I will post some new photos this week

Started the Pallet Wall in the living room

Rear view of trailer with Windows in place

Trailer getting painted over the next few days. The rear is done and half of one side. Using rattle cams again. Sure you can pick it apart but it ain't a Ferrari and at 70 mph you won't be able to tell. I figured I better get as much done on the outside before the fall and winter months when I...

Truck got painted today...semi flat black using nothing but cans of spray paint. The visor will get chrome plaited. Need to clean up the aluminum and get new chrome wheel simulators.

I have moved on from what I need to drive this rig. I am not doing anything commercially so as long as I have air brake endorsement and am marked as nom commercial not for hire I am good to go. i will put a different spin on the whole CDL thing, if I ain't doing anything commercially why would I...

Interior of truck being gutted

These will cover the aluminum cargo bars

Loft for the boys to sleep

Windows for the horses are in

Well after doing some more research I do believe I am good to go as is with no requirements, although I will take the farm endorsement written test that allows me to use air brakes. I will keep the pictures coming as I complete more of he trailer and get to the tractor.

Definitely not doing anything commercial. If I read the regulations correctly it will be easy to get trailer registered as RV trailer and not commercial trailer. There really is no room in the truck to have it registered as RV. If I had a large stand up bunk it would be possible. I found the...
