We did our own. Foam insulating
panels between the ribs, covered with pre-finished plywood screwed to the
ribs. Add pre-finished kitchen cabinets that will fit your space...a small
stove and refrig from a camper supply or trailer company. We have plywood
on the floor with a loose-laid carpet over that, up the vertical wall of the
gooseneck and onto the gooseneck floor. In the gooseneck, we put another
sheet of plywood with a 4" slab of foam over that. Sleeping bags on top of
foam.
We glued carpeting in the roof of the
gooseneck, as condensation dripped on our sleeping bags until we did the
carpet. My husband built a "foot locker" (I call it) which is storage plus
a step up onto the gooseneck. We don't have hot water, we don't have a
bathroom or shower, we don't have built-in heat. We do have a stove to
heat water, we do have a camper's porta-potty (which resides in the horse area),
we do have a rectangular "muck bucket" for a bath tub, and we do have a portable
propane heater with which we are VERY careful. We do not run it at
night. We just have warm sleeping bags and have weathered snow
nicely. We now have a small, quiet Honda generator and a small microwave
to heat up, or cook, meals. It's not posh, but it's very functional and
comfortable.
We recently bought an "empty" trailer with a 10 x 8 ft,
straight wall living quarters area. Now we are looking for somebody who can
finish the livingquarters. It does not need to be super fancy,
just functional and well done. Any suggestions? Maria Berger,
