glen Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 The last few trips I have been tenting and i’m looking at doing something different. It takes too long to set up and not weather proof enough. I’m thinking about getting a cargo trailer that I can put my boat inside. Once the boat is out I can use the cargo trailer as a camper. My boat is heavy so it would have to be on a small trailer. custom cargo trailer so it’s not bigger then I need. Any thoughts. irishfield could build the walls and roof on an aluminum flatbed.

Spiel Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 This set up has worked very well for me.......... Fridge, Stove, Sink, Microwave, Porta-Potti, Micro Furnace, upper and lower beds, etc. I bought it privately, 12 years old at the time, gently used, stored indoors every winter. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 Well that would have to be a wide and long cargo trailer to accommodate a boat/trailer. What is your tow vehicle? If I was younger I would do a small truck camper and still be able to tow a boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glen Posted August 27 Author Report Share Posted August 27 i had a camper van and after that I had a truck slide in and they weren’t big enough. I’m thinking 16’ interior including v nose. All Aluminum And put the boat on a small trailer so it’s not very wide. The boat is 65” wide 15’6” long. I think this would be cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting a boat on a trailer in and out of a cargo trailer will be awkward. Then you have no camping comforts inside the cargo trailer. Also towing that big cargo trailer will be another problem. If you don't want another truck camper or small RV then get a good quality tent that does not leak in the rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
