I have used a pop up camper to hunt out of for the last ten years or so. I have decided to buy a cargo trailer and convert it into a camper. Have any of you done this and if so could you share some pictures of your camper?

Remove exterior door latches, so your drunk buddies can't lock you up.
My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.

Older buddy has one. He's installed shower, toilet, sink, propain fridge and water heater as well, a wall heater. AC unit. Bed. No windows. Told him he'd been better off with a camper but proclaims he hates campers.

Theres a problem with trhat idea. Most hunting camps don't have sewage set up for campers and enclosed trailers are too low to the ground to be able to install sewage holding tank like a camer. Best advice is buy an old one and remodel, An 18- 210 ft should be as cheap or cheaper than buying an enclosed. Of course you could buy a portable sewage tank to haul around and the fun of finding a place to empty it. An enclosed trailer has No insulation either.

But I’ve never hauled a 210 ft trailer. That’s gotta be nerve wrecking.

Told him he'd been better off with a camper but proclaims he hates campers. If you ever saw a camper being manufactured, you'd want to build your own as well. Those cargo conversions, will be better than just about any travel trailer you can buy.
If you’re a common sense person, you probably don’t feel you have a home in this world right now. If you’re a Christian, you know you were never meant to.

A truly GOOD RV seems to be the exception to the rule but $$$$. Tiffin, Airstream, Prevost and Grand Design I've heard good things about

And not everyone needs sewage. We don’t have running water where I hunt. We Use an out house and bring our own water for cleaning/cooking/drinking.

Our camp has a bath house and most of the public land that I hunt have bathrooms with showers so I wont be needing sewage or water. I do all my cooking outside so that my clothes don't smell like food so I won't be installing a stove. Mine will be pretty basic. It will be a fold up bed, a couch, shelving, several cabinets for storage, an ac/heater and lighting, a tv and a small fridge.

Your right Thanks for the hook up it was a great deal. Can't wait to try it out this season. Still need install a small box freezer then it will be ready to go.
