Thank you all for the information. The only water I am concerned with is shower water. My dish water is contained in 7 gallon containers that gets disposed of in appropriate places. At our property, we have a small DIY septic tank (county approved to handle the sink water) and the shower water...

I've asked this question of a few Youtubers and I've gotten no responses. I see many folks using shower tents on BLM land. What does the BLM say about shower water on the ground? I have no issue on my property in Idaho (the trees love the extra water), but I plan on hitting BLM land on my way up...

Appreciate the info on the SAE connectors. They will be stationary 90+5 of the time, so a DC to DC charger wouldn't be as valuable as it should be to them. When you're talking about polarity on the SAEs, the one's I've seen are black and red, so as long as + rom the panel runs to red on the SAE...

I'm building 2 cargo conversions for a convent in Mississippi. They will be used as guest quarters as well as accommodations when they travel. They will be running a 1.7 cu.ft dorm fridge (on a small pure sine inverter), 5 - 3 watt led ceiling lights and a roof charging their phones on a 100 amp...

Ripper - Here are links to 2 different 5 x 8's I built out. One is a V nose, the other a flat front. They might give you an idea of what can be done with a small trailer.         

Last year I converted a 5 x 8 cargo trailer for my BIL who was homeless. I mounted a 250 watt solar panel on the roof, put 2 - 1 year old never discharged 95 amp hr AGM's under the bed powering a 750 watt Harbor Freight modified sine inverter. All the inverter powers is a 1.7 cu.ft. dorm fridge...

I bought the Go20 from them. They are the " clearance" division of Iceco. I just received it today. It looks brand new. It fired up right away and dropped to the preset temps quickly. I didn't time it, but it was cold. Thanks for the original post. I wouldn't have found it otherwise.

This build is a one off build. I got the trailer for a great price from the dealer I buy my conversion trailers from. Being as it was used, I had to take the black color. At 1600 lbs, it's towable by a lot of vehicles. If I build any more, they will be on a Harbor Freight or Northern Tools...

I wanted a 6 x 12, but folks here in OK want retail $ for used trailers and I just didn't have the budget to buy one. I couldn't even find a 6 x 10 except on a dealer's lot.

Not to flip, but to give to people to have a place to start over from.

Thank you

Thank you. It was the first build I've done on something this small, but it was fun.

Thank you. The weight is right at 1500 lbs. The trailer weighed 890 before the build.  There wasn't enough room on the roof for a vent due to the solar panel. I used that big panel (250 watt) because I needed at least 170 watts to keep the batteries up and it was free. Free panel vs vent - panel...

My BIL found himself living in the front seat of his truck (not by choice). He has a health issue which requires him to sleep on his back with his feet elevated - not something he can do in the driver's seat. I picked up a 5 x 8 enclosed trailer, and with the support of his family and a large...

Thanks for the input. I'm thinking I may buy 6 just for the extra storage capacity.
