Default Using an enclosed trailer as a camper

I don't have any pictures, but I did this to my 16 footer this summer. My brother and I ran some electricity into the trailer. Have a plug on the front that will plug into an extension cord. Added a light and some outlets inside. Have a queen size air mattress on a collapsible frame that fits across the back of the trailer by the ramp door. Have side door to get in and out. Added 2 folder chairs, a small table, and portable electric refrigator. Brought along a small electric heater and fan, depending on what was needed. Only thing missing was a microwave and a portable toilet (just in case you need a midnight run).

Two important things to get to turn your trailer into a camper. I got the extra lock on the side door that lets me lock the door from the inside. I just lock the outside bar lock so that cannot be locked in. Also, get the flow thru vents on the trailer. Really keeps the gas fumes out.

My wife does'nt like camping, but liked the trailer setup. Rain on the roof sounded nice knowing that we were dry.

Would like to add some shelves that would fold down when not needed, but would be used for storage when camping.
