  • Today we are meeting Jersey. She has been on the road for 6 years! She is driving a Hummer that pulls a trailer! Jersey has a unique tin roof interior roof. She has made the entire trailer feel comfortable and cozy. She has done a phenomenal job making her build out a warm living space! Jersey says you don't have to spend a lot of money to make it feel and look homey!

    This is nice, I especially like her ceiling and room divider. I enjoy seeing all the clever ways folks set up their homes.
    I paid off my mortgage, and am now looking at small cargo trailers. I agree with Bob that they are better made than RVs. They are homier, too, with straight walls and higher ceilings.
    I started thinking about it as a bugout bag I could sleep in after we were evacuated before a forest fire. Sleeping in a local school gym was a blessing and a nightmare wrapped in a single package.

I’ve camped in variety of units, from as small as a 15’ Hi-Lo trailer (hard sides, crank up top) in the sixties to a 27’ Winnebago in the 90s, and 30’ Mallard in the late 90s/early 2000. All have pluses and minuses, all will require maintenance and repair, including outside the box, jury rigged, homemade solutions. The challenges and fun of mobile living is adapt and conquer. I will pick up my retirement dream home, Outdoors RV, Mountain Series, GP F28RKS, next week! Cannot wait!……Hope to see you on the road!!

    There really are some artistic people out there. This rig is both beautiful & functional.
    I've built out a few vans and they were all very functional but looked more like something from a Siberian gulag .....well done and Kudo's.
