My bunks in my 21' enclosed are basically the same design but came off of a tugboat. very comfortable and there is four sets of bunk beds. also a rack in the back that's basically a catch all and toolbox made of sheet metal. 2x4s with coat hooks along the top walls are nice for tie down storage and other assorted clothing.

There was a good article in a 2011 issue of Fur-Fish-Game magazine about a guy that bought a cargo trailer expressly with converting it into an RV type hunting trailer, how to do it, pictures, etc. Wish I had saved the magazine, but I didn't.

The bunks detach and fold out of the way when needed.
I have a tent trailer ,but this upgrade to a solid box is great (no canvas to mess with) Thanks for the ideas. My wheels are churning now.
How would a small wood stove work in one of these, do you think?

At one point I was looking at possibly going the cargo trailer with modifications but think I have decided to pony up for a true rv toy hauler. I still think it is great that guys get creative and put the time in to convert cargo trailers. When I was looking at the possibility I always thought something like the one in the attached link would be cool. It has a lot of references photos sources of info, etc.

Should have known better than to ask you guys this question..
Now my conversion is going to really put a dent in the bill fold..
I like the entertainment/power supply center.
The awning is on its way.
The E-trac is on its way.
I will post some pictures as the build gets underway.
I pick up the trailer today at 11:00.
Then lets get this party started. I think maybe a little long gun vault might be in order..
Thanks guys for the ideas and the links.
Rock on lets roll.

My main concern is making sure there is a way to get out easily in case of fire--in BOTH ENDS. Windows, even high ones are a nice touch too. Makes it less like a dungeon, and one window could serve as a fire escape. RVs are pretty, but Cargo Trailers are built a lot stronger, and the work and expense to convert one for hunting/fishing/toy hauling/camping is worth it, IMHO.

well here are the first couple of pictures.
It has a cargo door, A man door and a window on each side.
It came with a Mr Buddy heater (Like New) and the top has had Linex bed liner professonal applied (It looks great and insures a water tight seal)
All in all the little " Love Shack" is going to be nice.
I will post more pictures as the Mods get under way.

Whitey,
When I bought my utility trailer, I also bought one of these strong, plastic lockable storage containers that attach onto the front of the trailer, behind where your tongue jack is. It wasn't very expensive, about $90 I think, but I was amazed at how much it can hold. Gives you a ton more storage room.

The other cool thing a about a cargo trailer is you save soem $$$ by not having to pay the extra RV add ons for your tag.

That would be awesome. Maybe a diamond plated box for a little bling bling. But I was also thing about putting My propane tank and 12 volt battery for my inverter up there I will have to see how much real estate I have up there.
Great Ideas.

You got that right. The "Red Neck" R.V. It will be fun to see what comes of this build..

Great looking trailer that should work out it is nice it already has windows.
Looks like I might be picking up a bigger one tonight if it checks out and will be doing a lot of customizing on it since it will be our camper for the summer and my hunting shack in the fall. Looks like I am going to have to sell my old one.
Whitey where did you get the awning? That and windows are going to be one of my first purchases..
