Location: Clearwater, MN | Congrats!! Looks great, I like the brands on the cabinet doors. Nice use of space as well. Trim is about all I have left on ours too, once we started using it, it became alot more fun to camp than actually finish the thing!!! |

Location: Farmville, VA | Great Job! It doesn't have the "diy" look that so many end up with! I want to do ours, but I am so scared to start and am cluless on how to do the electrical. Did you put in your own walk-thru door to the horse area? I'm only wanted a "day camper" set up for a few shows. Can you recomend any resources? Thanks! |

Location: Clearwater, MN | Barntoys4mom, if you are looking for a GREAT reference site for DIY living quarters, look no further than a few posts up!! maccwall has a link to his website in his signiture and that is one of the most useful sites you will find. It walks you through every step and makes it look and go very easily. I used that website every step of the way and it gave me great confidence to get it done on my own. Sorry if I am hijacking your post Yippee!! Yours is a great example in itself! |

Location: Florida | Thanks All!!! We took a lot of our ideas from here and looking at lots of pics on the for sale sites and e-bay ads. We say we would not do another and the trailer's nickname is Blood, Sweat, and Tears. haha |

Location: Florida | Thanks all, now that the trailer is done I never check in. :-) We don't really have any plans we just did as we went. The AC unit came from Home Depot and it cost about $80.

Location: Alpine, AL | Yours look great!!!! I am with someone in a post above. We have done a little here and a little there but never seem to actually get it finished. We just installed a door to the horse area this past weekend and I am hoping that we will get the wall back up and get the windows done before too long. I am not holding my breath. I was suprized when my husband actually got the door done so fast. :) Everyone that I showed the pictures to want to know where you got that throw that is on your bed. Where did you get it? |

Location: S. Central Illinois | Just finished our 2 foot SW trailer. I tried to talk hubby into a sink, but he was scared of the plumbing, but I do have a boat load of cabinets. I got a little camping potty to put in the front of the trailer in the first stall. Had a buddy install the door for us. Hubby is pretty proud of his work. He made all cabinet fronts from oak we pulled off of a shed last year. I can live without the plumbing, so says me! Great job on yours! |
