Facilities & Etiquette

I see. Thanks. So you have like a little tent popup shower type deal that you shower in? Cool.

I've been pitching around the idea of mildly converting my enclosed into a racecar toyhauler type. Just a place to sleep with A/C and heat, small fridge, sink, two spot burner, and a bathroom / shower combo. I think I can make this work in my 20ft enclosed. But it would be tight for the tires, tools, equipment and car to all fit.

A few of us went this route last year. This is me and Bryan at Hallett last year.

I don't think there's any going back now. If you're gonna add AC to the trailer, I recommend insulating first. Not all that hard to do.

Nice. Have considered some older v10 class C motorhomes too. But doing a little work to put in a shower / rv toilet and some electrical work for water heater, A/C, and fridge in my trailer would be cheaper. And yes, insulation will go a long way.

How long is your trailer? Living quarters would be too tight in my 24 footer, I have a bench and shelf up front for storage, tire rack along the wall. You'd be amazed at how much crap ends up living in the trailer.

If you can pack all that in a 20' your a way more organized than me. But I also have a camper in the bed of my truck so no extra room there. I want a 28' then I will have room for everything.

With a 20' box, having enough space for sleeping is a no brainer since the car isn't in there when you are. Adding a sink, shower and toilet? That's like a tiny house challenge. I mean, an F body is just over 16' so realistically 18' of that trailer is gone when the car is in there. I would suggest you're better off relying on the track for shower and bathroom and spend your efforts on insulation, a/c, quiet generator, and outdoor capable fridge (normal domestic fridges are not designed to cope with 100F ambients).

Don't ask Al, he brings a moving house with him.

24' would be minimum for what you are describing.

I have a 24' with a bench and there is barely enough room for a set of tires on the floor with the car in there.

So what is the etiquette for running generators at night after campfire gatherings ? My current generator runs about 75db. Pretty loud. Or do most paddocks in Texas have electricity for us? If its a problem then maybe I need to shop for a quiet generator.

Haha. I so wish my trailer was 24ft. I have a 40 footer triple axle bumper pull, but I need money so Im gonna sell it and my Excursion and downgrade to my older Yukon halfton and keep my 20ft enclosed and 20ft flatbed.

If it's not an inverter generator then it's probably going to be obnoxious. Mine is 58 dB.

I run a pair of honda 2000i generators connected together and it runs my 15k BTU A/C and about anything else I need with ease and quietly. Usually put them right under the gooseneck and they don't bother us all weekend. Highly reccomend that setup -- I ended up with twin 2000's because I had one that I used before I stepped up to the big trailer and needed to run an A/C.
