I like this other one better than the one I found !

Under $100. /per night and plenty of room too !  

I think Moab might be one days ride from Lancers house ?   Smiley

OH MY !  Two days from Lancers !  

I've ordered a 6'x10'x72" V-nose single axle trailer to make a "Sleeper" out of for these kind of trips.  Ramp rear door and Mobile Home side door.
Maybe the Bikes in the truck and a few beds in the trailer ?  

I'm not sure I'll have time to install everything needed ... like :
     110 volts inverter and 12 volt battery for inverter.
     Photon Catcher for said inverter and controller.
     Two beds mounted that fold out of the way up on the wall.
     A Galley area up in the "V-Nose"
I picture Interstate rest area and catch a nap if needed , might be better than loosing a hundred bucks on a motel bill ?    I really don't like to spending my penny's while I'm sleeping , but I do enjoy taking more bike rides !  
       
U-Tube is full of different ways to convert Enclosed Trailers into really nice travel trailers.

And so many more ... I don't know whitch one to call which idea is best ! ?

I like the use of the front V for a kitchenette.  The "murphy beds" might work for a 50lb kid, but I see the walls pulling in and the roof collapsing with a 200lb man.  Heaven forbid 2-3 dudes try to sit on it like a bench watching a football game.  I'd go with an air mattress, chase lounger, or sleeping cots.  

Y'all going to Moab, UT?  I'll miss that one.

MM:

(Perhaps you should start a thread in the Cafe' for your camper build).


I watched the videos you provided - I believe there are much better ones on YouTube than the 2 you provided.

Beds attached to the walls are fine - you will need legs that fold down along the center and the hinge points at the wall need to be attached at the vertical studs in the walls (not attached to the plywood).  You can run a horizontal strip along the wall just below the bed rail to provide continual support along the wall, the outside edge will need to be pretty stiff to avoid sagging.

Do not use vinyl house windows as the owner did in the first video.  The trailer bounces and twists as it goes down the highway - residential windows will not hold up to this kind of abuse for very long.  I used RV windows and installed an efficient ceiling fan to get airflow.

The little Chinese diesel heaters are the way to go if you plan on needing a lot of heat while "boon docking" without access to 110V power - if you can plug in use small electric heaters.  Avoid the Buddy propane heaters as they put out too much water vapor and make poisonous fumes.

Put the motorcycle inside the trailer - not in the truck bed.  Getting the motorcycles in/out of the trailer is a breeze - getting them in a truck bed is much harder.  The motorcycles will be out of the weather in the trailer and are easy to get in/out safely.  For long travels where you need to sleep along the way you should consider getting a truck bed cap and sleeping in back of the truck - the cap will help you get better fuel mileage when towing the trailer as it will help with airflow and keep a lot of wind from hitting the front of the trailer.  You can expect about an 8-10 mpg drop in mpg when pulling the trailer.  In my Vibe I would get 32mpg without the trailer and 22mpg pulling the trailer - my Explorer gets about 28mpg without the trailer and 18mpg pulling the trailer. The big RV doesn't even know I have a trailer behind it, as that big and bulky RV blocks any wind from hitting the trailer.

Start a build thread and we can discuss your trailer journey!

Thanks for trying to get this motley crew back on topic, Dave.  A Toy Hauler post in the Cafe sounds good.  As you know, I’ve also considered doing this.

I’m gunna miss you guys if y’all decide to ride Moab, UT.  I will keep following to see where things land.  Would Moab be a summer ride?

We have 2-3” of snow/ice on the ground in the Houston area this morning.  This southern town, without any real equipment, is basically shut down today and tomorrow.  So a spring ride somewhere warm sounds good about right now.  Cool
