I'm thinking about a 6x10 or 12, I just need a place to sleep and maybe haul a 4 wheeler
space gets used up quick, start adding stuff and 4 wheeler is back in the truck bed lol . lights and some way to heat/cool for summer camping will make you keep it a long time. when possible I stay in camp grounds with full hookups , elect heat is cheaper than propane lol
Got a 20 foot i race race out of. When not racing I roll out some cheap carpet down in it to help insulate an i Built a tall bed that I can take in an out of it. Built it tall where I can slide tree stands totes ect. Under it. Still got room in back for side by side and kayaks. Depending on what we're doing. Got a generator to take if its remote.or can hook up to shore power in Campground. I have also roughed it with no power. Do all my cooking on a camp chef. I love it way cheaper then buying a camper
That's my plan at some point. I've seen some that are really cool. My problem is finding one that's tall enough for my side by side and then in my price range. Would use for hunting and then off-roading after hunting ends.
We did an 8.5 x 16' enclosed about 4 years ago. Me and my younger brother that is. LED lights inside and out, framed in the back end and use the ramp for a deck. Fold down beds on each side above the fender wells, portable sink, stove and microwave. Backed under a 10' x 20' canopy. Park our 4 wheelers under the canopy. We really like it. We were in a hurry getting it finished out for the first season and would have done a few things different but overall it works really well. We don't haul four wheelers in it due to framed in rear end with a storm door.
@Big Pop…any pics?
Be later next week on the pics. It's about 90 miles away and with Christmas and all....
No worries! I'm a ways away from buying one. Just like seeing what people have done to them.
I've been considering doing this mainly due to the fact that if you buy a camper, it seems eventually the roof is going to leak. Something like this just seems so much more durable and heavy duty.

This page will give you some good ideas for a conversion. This guy builds them specifically for hunting.

These look great but if you want to save some money DIY as it's really not too difficult if you have time. I have less than $5,000 in mine and it's an 8.5 x 16' with a back deck.
My neighbor had a 16' that he had modified the inside a little bit for camping. Built some shelving in the v-nose with a tv and had the back set up for double bunk beds. Decided to buy a camper so I looked at it but wasn't tall enough to hold my utv so my brother bought it. Works like a charm.

Looking at adding an awning & some windows and roof insulation..
I'm planning a conversion to ours this year. Going to put 2 windows in, rooftop A/C unit (already ran the 30amp wiring) and fold down bed.
