My Stealth Cargo Trailer

I currently live in a Cargo Trailer that I bought brand new & have built into a nice living space. I was laid off from my job in 2008 & was running out of money while looking for work. My situation helped forge the idea of creating a living space from a cargo trailer in my mind. This blog shows the creation of a stealth living space from a brand new 8.5 x 16 foot Cargo Trailer. July 8th 2015 will be my 5th year in my stealth cargo trailer and I'm loving every minute of it!

The Console / Desk

The console area was a huge job because I wanted to maintain the attractive wood look and also cover up any seams.
I installed an extra one foot strip of Luan wood below the panel that was already installed.

Then I carried the theme to both sides of the Console area.

Now it was time to build the desk portion.

I decided to frame the desk using 2 x 2's and 3/8 ply to provide a sturdy enough workspace and reduce the overall weight.

I knew that the work surface was going to be a challenge because of the rounded nose shape of the trailer. I had to scribe the surface parts to make them fit properly.
