Built mine from the ground up, had an electrical, plumbing and design plan. As Gard suggests, you really get your best ideas from looking at new trailer layouts. Beware nothing is square in a tapering GN and can be frustrating. It's not like renovating a house!
You can see what I did relatively cheap and working weekends/nights in less than 2 months to completion.

Ours is a 4 1/2 sw, It is kind of a standard set up I built. We camp the most at places without any power, our 12 volt works great for 3 days (the longest we seem to have time to go) but when we camp at places with electric hook up we sure like it. click here to see pictures>living quarters
What do you use with your 12 Volt that lasts 3 dys? just lights? or Ac or heat?Also does the roof ac/heater take more electricity then a space heater plugged into a socket? Thanks

we have a dual battery set up, we run the furnace, water pump, lights, a tv for a couple hours before sleep, there are just 2 of us and we stay out side most of the time.

A good friend of mine started a page on Facebook "Horse Trailer Conversion". LOTS of excellent ideas. She converted a B/P to a L/Q from scratch. Lots of posts and pictures.
