I have seen a couple, but I found them to low , they were under 6' high and very poor workmanship.

If you want something done right, do it yourself.

[QUOTE=David]
Has anybody had the same idea as mine:

Buy a cargo/utility trailer and turn it into a camper? Thoughts along this line came up in the "Your thoughts" thread.

With most that I have seen, they sit low so, the first order of business would be to get busy with a welder and some square tubing to make "risers". This would get it up high enough to allow for the tanks and plumbing underneath.

After that, it would be a weather tight, towable "blank slate" - make it how you want.

I have to believe that I am missing something or others would have already done this.



There is a guy on a facebook page i belong to, small travel trailers,  that does this. He is building one now. He post pics as he goes along. He does a pretty good job.

My son told me dad  that's what you should do. However, he has reasons for that, because I'm getting on in years and don't know how long we will be camping. So in the end he would get a nice custom trailer
