WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 With E track on the sides, there are E track clips that you can get to slide a 2X4 into, going across the trailer. Then lay plywood on top of the boards and have a raised bed. If you put E track on the sides, it should be secured more securely than just with sheet metal or wood screws. THIS IS AN AWESOME POST !!!!! I never knew about those 2x4 E track fittings. That tidbit of info is a game changer for me. Thanks for posting this. That one little piece of info is going to do wonders for what I'm looking to do with a trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gunna try an do something like this in my trailer, this is a good idea, I would also get a little work bench in there if you can, I have had to many times were I need a little work bench for a motor swap or something along those lines. As far as heat, put insulation in it and use a small generator and small electric heater, that's what we have done for the past couple years but been sleeping on blow up beds. Post some pictures up when you do some stuff, I always like looking at other guys setups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Whitehurst Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 You can safely install a catalytic heater in your enclosed, it does consume oxygen though. You must crack a ceiling vent and have a small side vent cracked. It will heat your trailer silently and up to one week off 5 gallons of LP. We install many of these in RV's at our service center and have never had any troubles or complaints. They are wall mounted and take up very little space and if run properly will last for as long as you own your trailer. Check out the Wave 6 by Olypian for your trailer. It is the size you will need.

dave5.0 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Get a futon mattress and throw on top of a crap air mattress. Best sleep I get. And if the pos air mattress goes flat in the middle of the night you're not stuck on the plywood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalton Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I would reccomend E tracking. You can also cut the tracks down to whatever length with a porta band. Best way I've found to go put the tracks where ya want them make sure you bolt through studs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee Chad Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Don't worry about generator noise at the mtn.. But You can get a wall mounted propane radiant heater. The kind that come in a lot of snow mobile trailers. Run on lp, just crack a window like a camp trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee Chad Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Mr buddy's are totally safe and non permanent. Again, just crack vent for safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckwheat Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 i would not use the rolls of 3 1/2 in thick insulation unless your walls are 2x4's smashing insulation down to fit in a smaller wall will defeat the purpose of it. take a panel off and see how thick the walls are. i would use the styrofoam.

Buckwheat Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 You could also install a small trap door in the bottom of the trailer which would eliminate the need for a toilet. Just sayin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proly has a door already for axle access. Just build a shield so the shit doesn't get on the axles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Whitehurst Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Looks great, we modify these at our RV repair facility quite a lot. May I suggest you run some extra wiring in the ceiling for more lights and in the wall for any other light you may want later. You will thank yourself later for that.
