I had one of these from Pace American,  it was great set up. You have a bathroom/shower combo just like a truck camper and it is small.  Kitchen and fridge are very small. I bought mine for $6800 and sold it for the same price 3 years later. 

Deals are out there if you have patience and are willing to drive a ways to pick it up.

There are a ton of new cargo trailers you can buy for about $6k. Include used ones and there a lot more.

Finding a cargo trailer within the budget doesn’t seem to be an issue. I’ve also been finding some decent, but older (2005ish) RV trailers for under 6k. I’m not looking for new and fancy, just something solid that doesn’t need major repairs out of the gate.

The best time to look at cargo trailers is when it’s pouring down rain, if they have a leak you’ll see it. Even brand new ones sometimes have leaks, I was in a new one checking it out and the first thing I saw was a leak when I stepped up in it.🤯

Needless to say I didn’t buy a Pace, obviously their quality control was lacking.😉

I bought mine from these guys, and would buy again from them.👍

I did a lot of research on the net, tire kicking, Craiglisting, etc... knew what I wanted before I got on there lot, no high pressure sales from them. Of course it’s the type of equipment people buy because they have a need for it as in work, hauling stuff regularly that rentals don’t make sense for.

Basically they sell themselves in a way.😉

PM me your number and time if you want to talk.👍

I have both a toyhauler and converted cargo.  The real question to ask yourself (the wife  :chuckle:) is if you want fancy comfort, or just comfort. The bathroom area is by far the biggest difference.
I would sell our toyhauler in an instant and just use the cargo.  The Mrs is polar opposite on that idea....because of the bathroom.  ;)

This may seam like kind of a messed up way of thinking right now, but with all this COVID19 crap, I bet guys start dumping "toys" really quick to eliminate payments.
There may be some deals to be had if your a cash buyer and have some patience.

I would kinda feel like a scum bag taking advantage of a situation like this, but it may also help someone out who isn't getting a full paycheck right now and needs to free up capitol. 

I think it's going to be a buyer market here for the next couple months.

People are putting Lance 650's in the short bed Ford trucks. They seem heavy to me but they are pretty popular. I'd think that would be a much better way to go than camping in a car hauler.
1700 pounds dry. I'd probably put some airbags under the truck.

One thing to think a out if you go the enclosed trailer route with the Camaro is parking at a camp site.  Shouldnt be that big of a deal but something to think about.

I looked at those, finding a used one (refuse to pay for a new RV) and one in the allotted budget is looking impossible.

NOCK NOCK, could you post some pics of your enclosed conversion? She isn’t super worried about the luxury side of it, mainly just a place to sleep/get out of the weather
