ANYBODY EVER DO THIS?

[Ronbo]

Modify enclosed trailer for short-term camping at some event. Cots, sleeping bags. I'm sure it might get old really quick.

Guys do it all the time at the track. :thumbup:

We use ours that way, with folding cots, air mattresses and a porta-potty. We usually leave the camp kitchen outside under a canopy. I built a screen and privacy screen for the rear ramp door for those hot nights and an awning for sunny days. Arntufun has made permanent modification to his enclosed trailer, incuding a fold-up bed and other luxuries. Other SpyderLovers have, too. We see a wide vairiety of such at Vintage Motorcycle Days each year. The enclosed trailer makes a dry, quiet, and very comfortable tent.

there was a nice toy hauler for sale on the sight a couple of days ago--nice price and good brand name. we have a 25 footer and really like it. when I was working I was on the road more than not and swore that I would not spend a night in a motel again . we have been all over this country with it. you will never get your money back out of it, but there is something to be said about sleeping in your own bed and using your own toilet and shower. :yes:

Check with Arntufun; he's got a real nice setup in his! :thumbup:

 

[arntufun]

Here is a few that might give you some ideas............ If you have electric, plumbing and some carpentry skills this is a great low cost toyhauler. :thumbup:

So you ARE awake...
Randy, I'm glad that you joined in on the fun this morning! :thumbup:

 

[SNOOPY]

Nice set up :thumbup:

 

[Bob Denman]

Randy,
Is the bed stored up overhead? What sort of lifting system do you use on it? How long does it take to convert from hauling, to sleeping setups?

The bed folds down from the left wall. Its on big hinges and is held up by a rachet strap. The hose reel in Pic 2 is actually the bottom of the bed and that holds the water hoses during transport.

undo 3 straps on bike and drive it out.
undo 1 bed strap and fold it down.
It's powered by 12" pythons located just below the shoulders..... :roflblack:

Here is photo standing a little further back to give you a better idea of the bed design.

What are the dimensions on the trailer ? 6x12, 7x14 ? Please, I know this is an old post, but it looks like the perfect winter project to me! Just need a starting point.

 

[pitzerwm]

It's got to be at least 7 as the bike is 5 and the bed at least 2, probably 8'

Now that is a nice setup. :thumbup: My compliments to the designer and finish carpenter.

I would doubt if the trailer is over 7' wide as the wheels are outside the walls.

Holy gas pedal Batman! Now that is a toy hauler. If that is homemade you are quite talented. Very Nice. I have a modified Forest River W&P 18EC. Very Comfortable.

It's a 7x14 (Plus 2' vnose)

Although, I just sold it, I'm sure I could help you if you were going to make one providing you have basic skills.. :thumbup:
