Camper ideas.....revisited

#1 Post by mgarvie » Sun Jun 16, 2013 6:09 am

After looking at other posts about camper ideas for thier boats I got to thinking this could be a doable idea. I came across the following link:

http://www.trailmasterinc.com/

I'm wondering if I might be able to work one of their products onto a boat if ordered in a stripped down form. In the folded down mode it could be a table, tanning bed, or a bench seat?

Placement might be a problem. Can it be set up without getting off the boat? Raiing height might have to be changed or mount the trailer on a raised pedistal. Have to relocate the console? Walk around space reduced too much? Anyone else have any problems I might encounter or need to consider?

This is just an idea for a project for this coming winter. Ideas, thoughts, comments?

Looking at the pricing on those, I think you could have a full camping enclosure made for about the same price. $4000 for the smallest one is a little much IMO.

Check out Chaletrv.com, their small folding units are awesome since you can stand up inside AND hard sided. No worries in a thunderstorm or wind.

Not worth it in my opinion. Look at the pictures of my boat on this forum. I had that full enclosure made for $2900 if memory serves. Plus, you can leave it up while towing and use it as a land camper to boot but I don't go above 45 mph while towing.
