Ive been shopping for a trailer and talking to K&O in Hull Iowa. They'll build me the narrow track axle option I want, but I just noticed the majority of the trailer is built from angle iron. I imagine this is common and helps keep the floor low. But cargo trailers and campers Ive considered have hollow spots in the frame for tanks and utilities because they use C channel.

This K&O pace setter is built like a tank with 20 gauge skin, 7k straight axles etc, but I'm not envisioning allot of clearance/protection for holding tanks. Or maybe my problem is the tanks will be more visible and exposed. And I also don't want 2x10's, but 3/4 plywood floor, which is just to exposed and low again.

Will converting a 7x16 livestock trailer into a toyhauler with amenities be more challenging than a cargo trailer because of the low slung angle iron construction? How are weekends done, but I wont have space for a tanks inside..
I'm thinking converting it will be more challenging, because I will have to build a raised floor, but the trailer is better suited for the yukon highway or maybe south america.

Thanks!

I can't tell you exactly. I think the price can vary a lot. As for me, a cargo trailer will suit here better. Of course, you can build your own RV conversion, but it would be difficult. There are many advantages. It will be much cheaper, will be more durable and you will be able to take it off-road. Finally, a conversion can be an all-purpose trailer than a regular travel trailer. So, it depends only on your possibilities. Of course, I can suggest visiting this https://fleetupmarketplace.com/ site and find the best items you can only imagine! My friend's company always uses their products
