You still have that trailer, Wes? Hearing how bad the exansi boxes leak while expanded, how weather tight are they when there closed?

Sorry fellas, was not meant to offend.

This whole scenario keeps giving me visions of Jack Nicholson in The Shining...

The conductivities of a certain percentage of materials aren't the big problem in your climate, it's thermal bridging across/through your insulation. For example, typical lower 48 construction, plywood directly against a stud, which directly contacts drywall. This wall could be filled with...

Just for reference, if weight is a big concern to you, you may want to simply calculate the weight of just your plywood and maybe the weight of whatever you are going to sheet the interior with. Making the structure strong enough to be removed from the bed will also be a bit of a challenge. Not...

No, trying to keep my truck modular. I can pull two pins, unplug the lights and have my bed off in five minutes. Working on a fifth wheel module over the winter. Camper will be down road a bit...

Idea is a quick attach, civi camper trailer up on the truck in place of the bed, if I can keep it under 13'-6". I think I can overhang the rear up to about 10' over the rear of the truck frame rails. I haven't researched camper heights yet, but I have been eyeballing some of the old Hi-Lo...

Just more food for thought. Some day... I plan on putting a used 20'ish camper on the back of my 925, but again this will involve removing the bed and the trailer axles. You could likely go a little better than 30' on a long wheel base truck, height will be a challenge though. But, if you...

Descent shipping containers run around 2k in this area. Yes, the 20' bed sides are fixed. I would put jack legs on the bed and the container, make everything quick connect and swap them out when necessary, but might not be practical unless you had a place to store one or the other when not in...

Sounds cool to me! A few things you might research are super insulated building designs and small heat exchange ventilators. With an a1 or a2 you have about 8'-6" of available height off the bed to work with. Building a wooden structure capable of being lifted or slid off may get expensive...
