My camper, as we call it, is a cargo trailer with a two beds, countertop, fridge & a/c. Hauls my Pioneer too. Not much else I need.i have $5200 in it. Has served us well since 2003 & racked up likely 40,00 miles in Texas.
Sounds pretty slick.

I bought this 1978 Kit Road Ranger off of FB Marketplace at the end of last season for $3,000 and spent another $2.500 in renovations. It took me about 9 months working on it a couple Saturdays per month. Gas, electric, and plumbing all work great. There’s no refrigerator, butI made a little slide out shelf (above the buddy heater) that will house a cooler. Can’t wait for deer season!
I use a converted cargo trailer 8 x 16 that's insulated and has electric with lights. What's so convenient is that it's a toy hauler too and is completely sealed, so no mice. Not as nice as a travel trailer but works just fine. Also, I don't think any regular travel trailer is ever sealed.

What's the interior height? This has always appealed to me.
An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.
I bought a fema trailer some years back from a hunter on a lease I was on for $1,500. Everything works and it doesn’t leak. I bought a ranch in Coleman county and my sons pulled it out there and put a porch on it. We can use it until I can get a cabin built. I wouldn’t buy a shell of a camper because fixing it up would probably cost more than buying a decent used one IMO. Plus the time it would take of which we don’t have much of. Not pretty but it beats a tent
