Why Build a Cargo Trailer?
A cargo trailer conversion gives you something no van can: the ability to separate your living space from your vehicle. Tow it with your truck, SUV, or Jeep — unhitch at camp and you've got both a home base and a free vehicle. You also get significantly more square footage per dollar than any van platform.
Use Your Existing Vehicle
No need to buy a van. Tow the trailer with whatever you already drive — truck, SUV, Jeep. Your tow vehicle stays functional for daily driving when you're not on the road.
More Space, Less Money
A 7x16 cargo trailer gives you roughly the same floor space as a Sprinter 170 Extended — at a fraction of the vehicle cost. That leaves more budget for the build itself.
Detachable Living
Unhitch at the campsite and drive your truck to the trailhead, the store, or wherever you need to go. You can't do that with a van.
Fully Customizable
Trailers start as a blank box with no wheel wells, no cab intrusions, and no factory constraints. The layout possibilities are wide open.
What Goes Into a Build
Core Systems
Every trailer build is engineered around five integrated systems. Each one is designed, installed, and tested by our in-house team.
Electrical
Lithium battery banks, MPPT solar charging, DC/DC charging, inverter/charger combos, and fully labeled distribution panels. Sized for off-grid living.
Plumbing
Fresh and grey water systems with on-demand water heaters and winterization valves.
Interior
Custom cabinetry, custom countertops, insulated walls and ceiling, and layouts designed around how you actually live.
Exterior
Solar panel mounts, shore power hookups, exterior storage, and weatherproofing built to handle years on the road.
Climate Control
Diesel heater, AC, ventilation fans, and insulation coordination to keep you comfortable in any season.
