Anyone bought a enclosed trailer and modified for deer camp? I'm thinking about selling my RV and buying one. I could also store my ATV in trailer.

Looking good. Using batt insulation or spray in? My next build I'm not going to use prefab shower waste of space. Going to tile bottom and use corragated metal walls.

Just batts, saves a little money and this thing gonna be tight enough. That's a good idea on the shower.

Mine batted and warms/cools pretty quick. Only thing I wish I'd done different is shower. Cheaper and better use of space and really not much more work. Liner is cheap and so is tile and grout. Also get ready on shower drain. Floor in mine was thick think 2.5" had hell finding flange.

Fun builds can't wait to start my next one

He stayed in one on a hunt this year, he said they built a raised floor in the bath to accommodate the plumbing so they didn't cut through the original floor.

Assuming the floor is original, is there any concern of the chemicals used to treat it? I'm interested in building out one of these someday so watching closely.

I didn't but it's easy to seal if you need to.

I designed some apartments out of containers. Threy 50' boxes per floor and four floors. They turned out awesome. For sealing doors and windows weld angle iron around the openings and mount to th angles.


There's only 2 seasons in a year. Deer season and getting ready for deer season.
