Hunting camper build.

[leech~~]

I know I have posted a few pictures of this but not the whole build.

After hunting with the same guy for about 40 years circumstances changed and we parted ways.

It left me looking for another way to get out in the woods with my son when he can make it. 

Used it last season and it was nice and toasty in the wind and snow during the last weekend of Deer Hunting.

Also used it taking my wife to Cascade River state park this spring again pretty dang cold out. She was warm and happy so that was a score! 

 

Picked up a used in pretty good shape 6'X10' cargo trailer.

Gutted all the shelving he had in it.

Stripped off all his work logos on the outside.

Added a window and insulated the ceiling and walls.

Put a on a quick white paint job on the plywood to bright up the inside.

Wired it up for 12V power, changed out the two 12v dim cave lights that was in it for 4 bright led lights with switches to use all 4 or only 2 at a time. Added an outside led light as well. Put in a usb and cig plug adapters to run DVD player, cell charger, small fan and other items.

Put in carpet and only tacted on the front edge so it can be rolled up when hauling the ATV. 

Put in a small fold down table which works good for two guys to eat and picked up a set of disk-o-bunks which work great and disassemble in about 5mins when hauling the ATV. Added a shelf and cabinet for storage.

Also added a Nu-way 3000 propane vented heater.  That has worked out perfect! Tried my big buddy heater the first weekend of hunting and even withe the window and vent open was getting light headed.

I made it so the cap can come off for travel and storage and a sealed rubber cap keeps it dry and closed up.

 

All in all it's been fun and worked out great so far.  Now just have to find a new set of woods to hunt!

Nice build man! Is it fine to put the heater straight on fluffy carpet like this?
