Looks like a great base to go from. I thought about doing the same thing with my 7x16 but it was just to big. Maybe think about making everything on the interior modular and removable so you can easily get larger items in there if you need. You can also do some research and see how many people have spray insulated the walls and floors to make it much more comfortable.

This is going to be great! Good to see some other duck hunters on here lol. I would love to have something like this, but the RTT and Bantam will have to serve as my base camp for now.

thanks I will fit my needs, I don't think there is anyone here on island that does spray foam so I'll prob just stay wil standard sheet insulation.

Subscribed. I've had the same idea about creating a hunting and winter fishing base camp. Are you worried about lack of ground clearance? That's been my major concern (along with money) about moving forward with a similar idea. I look forward to seeing your project progress.

Went ahead and mounted my awning today since I was on duty. I just bolted it through the Side of the trailer.

Ahahahha ya having the hangar to work in while on weekend duty is pretty nice. $60,000 tool boxes with aircraft grade tools at my disposal and a wash spot that I can wash my truck or trailer with 120* water.

Stop it now. That is cheating.

Seriously though, that nice to have at your disposal. I have a gravel driveway....

My brother in law is currently stationed in Petersburg Ak on the Elderberry. To say that I am jealous of him is putting it mildly. Seeing your pictures is not making me like you that much either.
