newbie-need advice on trailer conversion to camper

Post by corndog » Fri Feb 20, 2015 11:03 pm

hey guys my first post here in this forum and look forward to peoples suggestions and etc.
My situation is that i own a fully enclosed gokart trailer and have given up racing fora while.
my aim now is to convert it into acamper so i can go away with the wife and kids.
it already has installed 2 150amp agm deep cycle batteries,240vt power run,dc-dc charge, electronic brakes, water, led lighting,aircompressor,cd player/stereo and a tv.
i have an idea about getting an awning/annex made up to go down the side of the trailer (fully enclosed). my kids would sleep in the trailer while my wife and i would sleep in the annex.
what would you guys recommend and also where could i get something like this awning/annex made up here in adelaide
hope this makes sense as i cant work out how to post picturesof my trailer

Hi Corndog & welcome to the forum. Mal Lacey had a motorbike trailer with a rooftop tent & a kitchen across the front. I can only find one photo & that was from our national meet at Condoblin

If you would like more details of the set up I can contact him for you.
happy camping

thanks rob.That would be great.
the idea i had was to have an annexe built onto the side of the trailer like a caravan.
