Utility Trailer/Camper

While camping at Eastbank Campground just over the Georgia line from Chattahoochee, Florida this rig pulled in and you know me. I had to check it out.
















Standard 6x10 utility trailer converted into a nice little camper/sleeping unit. A window was added to each side and an A/C unit on the front with electricity being supplied with an extension cord thru a r/v receptacle in the front of the trailer that fed a breaker box on the inside.














Swing out the back door and pull out the "slide-out".





You enter from the two swing out doors in the rear slide out. The white box contains a small 120 volt mini  kitchen and used as a step to enter the camper doors.
















This is a view from the rear. This unit was used by a couple and their pre-teen son. They were always outside cooking, walking, hiking, or riding bicycles and just used the camper for sleeping.

Brilliant! I used to joke about turning a utlity trailer into a camper--maybe I should revisit that idea!

It looks like the slide out gives at least 5 1/2 by 5 1/2 feet addition. I am curious how you made it and the sliders used. I would like to extend my 7 by 16 trailer...using the ramp as the floor.

I wonder exactly how the slide out works?

I had been planning doing this with the rest slide out of a pop up I'm turning it to a hard side . I left front as it was as a bed but hard side and tool area instead of sleeping . And the rear I am putting rear ramp , instead of wasting tracks since opening to the floor anyway figured idea make a full length slide with ramp. Will probably make a guide more than a slow just to help the bottoms tracks .
