Trailer Choice (7x14 Enclosed Cargo Trailer Camper Conversion Part #1)

7x14 Enclosed Cargo Trailer Camper Conversion (part 1: Trailer Choice)

1. Why I chose Enclosed Cargo Trailer for Camper Conversion
    - Price
    - Reliability
    - Easy to build (rectangular box type)
    - For use as base camp for off roading
    
2. Why I chose 7x14 instead of 6x12 which is one of the most popular size trailer
    - can sleep on the cross so that it makes less space in length wise
    - 6x12 trailer space is too small for my needs (shower, toilet, etc.)    
    - 7x16 trailer is little long for the off roading 

3. Why I chose the option for one inch extra height (7')?
    - I want to build upper cabinetry in both sides and widows for head clearance.
    - Height is not matter for maneuverability but for aerodynamic

4. Why I chose the V-nose?
    - V-nose has extra interior space
    - But, V-nose do not have an enough space on the tongue area.
    - I decided to have the option for extra 1' length of tongue for the space

5. Why I chose the option for narrow track?
    - For standard 7x14 trailer, total width include the wheels is more than 8 foot wide. This could be the obstacle for the narrow road.

6. Why I chose the option for Torsion Axle instead of Leaf Axle?
    - For the strength and better off roading
 
7. Why I chose the ramp door instead of 2 doors?
    - I want to use the ramp door for the deck 
    - Another reason is to easy access the heavy items from the garage.

8. Why I chose the indigo blue color option?
    - Of course I like the blue and the indigo blue colored aluminium is thicker than silver or white color (0.3 vs. 0.26)

9. Why I chose the tandem axle instead of single axle?
    - the tandem axle can handle more weight compare the single axle (7000 lbs vs. 3500 lbs)
    - It is safer when the tire get flat
    - It helps the bouncing

How to Insulate a Cargo Trailer

Image
Cargo trailers, whether those used as 18-wheeler rigs or vehicles needing no special operator's license, tend to be hard-sided units skinned in aluminum sheeting and made rigid with support hoops and rails. The supports are usually approximately 1 1/4-inch deep. This structure lends itself well to the installation of insulation. Step 1 Remove any preexisting paneling or liner from the inside of the cargo trailer. Clean the walls using a 10-to-1 dilution of dish washing detergent, then rinse with clean water. Step 2 Create a vapor barrier to protect the finished project from condensation that can form in extreme temperatures. Proprietary vapor barriers are available in the air conditioner aisles of home improvement warehouses. An extremely efficient and cost-effective alternative is to glue sheets of bubble-wrap to the inside of the cargo trailer's skin. Some rigid insulation panels are supplied with an integral vapor barrier; if using these products this step should be ignored....
