Yes, it's big enough. The one I have is an 8'×17' toyhauler with a v-nose on the front. But in my shopping around I was in an Ice Castle 5th wheel that was 9'×45'. That thing was huge. Even had two sleeping lofts, one on each end. There's a lot of different brands of ice houses. Mine has a...

Tonight is a scrambled leftover thing - about half a can of diced tomatoes, a cup of leftover black beans with onions and garlic, and eggs fried up together and topped with cheese. And sriracha. Can't forget the sriracha. ~angie Sent from my VS501 using Tapatalk

Yup, I'd say that heating and cooling are number one. Surviving winter weather is the reason I chose an ice house over a traditional RV. I know you're talking about a conversion/modification, but keep in mind that insulation can be critical, and it's useful for staying warm and staying cool...

Where do you live? I ask because staying safe from the elements is going to be a different job depending on what part of the continent you're in. But for me I'd say heating is priority number one. If you were in a warmer area where it gets hot enough to kill you, I'd say interior climate control...

I'd try searching for the state you're in and "fish locker," "meat locker," or "seafood locker" and then calling the businesses to ask if they have local fish available. Even if they don't carry it they might be able to point you in the right direction. I just tried for my MN and found a bunch...

Went for a drive today. It was gorgeous and sunny and bright and cold(-15F). Idk what the windchill was but it was windy as hell. We're under a windchill advisory thru the weekend. I got these pretty pics though. So, the propane truck came and filled my tank yesterday. $230. I'm pretty happy...

I don't remember using a party line myself, but when I first learned to use my grandma's phone all had to dial was four numbers to get my best friends house five miles away. Anyone with the same three digit prefix didn't have to dial it to get it to work. All you had to deal was the last four...

So far my furnace has been doing an excellent job of keeping the inside of my icehouse a hundred degrees warmer than the air outside. And I do mean a literal hundred degrees (even warmer than that some days), not just a figure of speech. So, yeah, things are cold but good here. My floor is...

Hello Mlmarshall and welcome to the forum. Lots of good stuff on here, and you seem to know what you're in for. In 98-01 I was living in Idaho. The camping up north was amazing, but I couldn't deal with the desert. I'm back in Minnesota now, and loving it, even in this crazy cold weather...

Hi Rainy and welcome to the forum! I know you've been here a little while, but perhaps no one has given you the "formal" welcome/hello. Speaking of that, somewhere around here there's a post that the mods usually put a link up for all the new members. Lots good stuff in there, but I don't know...

Hello Rob and welcome to the forum! Since you're at the downsizing phase, here's a thread that talks about that, and different people's take on that. It's a process and I found it really helpful to hear other people's encouraging words on the subject...

Too funny Lenny, we have the same state bird here in Minnesota. [emoji16] Beetle - I've been making my own bug spray for about the past 5 years. When I started making it I lived right on the edge of the Boundry Waters Canoe Area (aka swamp country). I got the recipe from this website. The...

I think that perhaps after the fourth or fifth time reading VanTramp's post I can't really find anything to be that bent outta shape over. Yup, there's lots of people who are passionate about second amendment rights. He doesn't seem to be saying anything that ( at least in my mind) puts him...

Willingtorelocate - Yes, toyhaulers models would require a larger tow vehicle than that, probably. The best way to tell would be to check the door label on your Expedition and compare that to the max tow weight on the toyhauler. Googling the towing capacity for the year/make/model gives you a...

wayne49 - While I was RV research shopping last year I saw 2 different models of toyhaulers that had separate cargo garages in the back. It appealed to me because it was essentially a separate room that could be used as a workshop/garage/craft room/studio/office/bedroom. One was a Jayco but I...

It all depends on how tolerant you personally are for living with a floorplan that doesn't feel comfortable to you. Are you planning on having the trailer for years or planning on selling it where you'd have to be aware of the changes effecting it's re-sale value? Because if you took all the...
