Thank you for the feedback Chris, I think you are on par with what I assumed it would cost. I'm a great cabinet builder/ welder and I know I would have no issue slamming this project out in no time for a reasonable price. The main reason I asked is I kept getting feedback from people saying...

I love your build. I have been looking into building a Habitat as well. Do you have an idea of cost for the enclosure?

Thank you for the link, I was looking into these and they are built pretty well. Obviously not as good as a homebuild Habitat, but they use all aluminum frame sandwich wall construction. The only thing that bothers me about these little rigs is the membrane roof. I absolutely hate the cheap junk.

I was looking at getting something to camp in while I look for a good m1083. I came accross these Geo Pro trailers and realized that they are fully welded aluminum frames. Whats your guys take on these mounted on a Stewart Stevenson? Minus the obvious like securing the cabinets better etc.

I was looking into this the other day, take a look at this thread: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/frame-stretch.181285/

Those are pricy, If we are talking about those, I will just build the box.lol I'll probably buy something with a slide, peel the sides, fir it out, reinforce, insulate and reskin. Quick dirty and cheap in the end. At this point in my life I dont have $50k to spend on a habitat. everything...

I'm located in Sacramento, pretty far from you, but i appreciate the offer. My folks live down by cottage grove. I actually just came across this supposedly all fiberglass trailer, pretty interesting...

I have actually read your build a few times, awesome work! Can I ask, what did that habitat cost you up to this point?

I will, I havnt picked up the truck yet. I'm more of a planner and when I get at it i go all out. Real issues here.lol

ok but what would actually fit a ft behind the rear? Even the standard 14ft bed hits the end. My wife and I want to kill each other in our 16ft cab over camper.

No you are 100% correct, I just don't feel like I have the energy to build another cabinet let alone a whole habitat after building out my entire house.lol Last summer i rebuilt an entire lance cab over, it was easy and didnt blow the bank.

At this moment, my idea is to reinforce an existing trailer on a torsion frame. Beat the you know what out of it for some time and see what happens. Right now I have young kids, one in school and since we dont have a ton a free time, this rig is for exploring when we can. Im not looking to drive...

Based on my math, a 22ft is about max.

I have scoured the web and still cant find a complete answer. I am looking to see what the largest habitat I can fit to stay under 30ft. I read somewhere that relocating the spare can gain about 14". Lets say we are not worried about departure angle and just the box length.
