rick37 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Ok heres the deal I found some FEMA travel trailers that was used in katrina as temp. housing, I found one that needs gutted and rebuilt which would not be a problem,Now what I would like to do is convert this said trailer in to a toy hauler,I am jut wondering how hard it would be to do and what problems I may run in to. Thanks in advance Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titanium Cranium Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 I'm not an expert by any means, but I'm pretty familiar with travel trailers and a bit with toy haulers. The biggest things I can see you running into problems with would be the framing at the rear for the door, and possibly needing to install additional floor reinforcements to support weight of motorcycles (assuming that's what would go in the back) through all of the rigors of travelling. This can lead ot even tougher problems if that's the area where the holding tanks are located as they may need to come out, and need to be relocated at least a bit to allow for more reinforcements. I would think you'd be dumping a ton of $$$ into a project like that as well as an incredible amount of time. I would think that it would probably be more sensible to just pick up a used toy hauler that's in good shape and call it a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been sitting sunken in wet mud for years. Not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
