dream trailer, what would you put in it?

Who is building it for you? Thanks


Agree with Thistle, how would they know the 2 are connected. Highly doubt they would.

After talking with my trailer guy(will be doing some more plans) we are looking to run the heat duct below the trailer and have the ducts at floor level, but some how figure a way to have them in the wall right at floor level. The bottom of the trailer will be spray insulated to retain the heat. Still looking into the in floor heating to keep the ice off the floor. bit of a challenge with that one. I will have a generator built into the trailer. It along with the heater and batteries/inverter will be built into the floor some how. Also looking to have one of them wind up hose reels for the electric cord so i dont' have to lug around a 15-20' cord in the trailer. my nash trailer had a amp/sub combo and even though they were powered down, my batteries (brand new 6 volt deep cycle batteries) were low after half a day. I'm guessing some how they were being drained by amp/sub combo. My last trailer with heater only lasted 3 1/2 days running non stop without plugging in. I want to have the custom cabinets and have plug outlets in each cabinet so I can my radios in there charging up while at home and plugged into the house. I am also looking into a samsung keypad dead bolt set up. Its like the new ford lincolns where the numbers are hidden until you touch the keypad and then it lights up. Also going to have 20" wheels to match'the truck. I don't sleep in the trailer(have a 40' toy hauler for that) I want to have lots and lots of led lights on outside and inside the trailer as well. Looking into the rumber flooring as well. Sorry for the book. trailer build starts next week. kinda giddy.

any chick with any kind of hair color would probably be a no go, or the wifey will make me sleep in the trailer in which case the beds and all those extra goodies might come in handy. Since she's letting me build this trailer, I'll be nice to her. 5th wheel is also outta the picture, truck has 8" lift and I can't haul my toy hauler(wasn't really thinking when I put the lift on) but it sure looks good. any other ideas with a little bit of practical use is greatly appreciated. practical being something that won't get me divorced.

Would this work?
Prior to insulating floor, install in-floor pex tubing exiting at the front of the trailer with hoses & quick couplers.
Then plumb your coolant lines to the back of truck also with quick couplers.

Would certainly need another source of heat, but this may be enough to thaw out all equipment & gear when traveling.

Just a thought.

trailer will have a 40000 btu heater in it. Looking for electric in floor heating not necessarily while we are using trailer while sledding. Looking to use the in floor heating when I get home and can plug trailer into 110 volt(house) so all the snow doesn't make the trailer floor a skating rink. I just got some samples of the rumber flooring and think I'm going to go this route. we'll give it a whack unless some of you have had experience with it.
 
Heating a 7X30 enclosed.

Looking for a heater that works in different elevations without having to change orfices. Also would likeone that requires no power but is LP.
