Pit Trailer Build

[CrashBoom]

So I dove in deep and decided to build a pit trailer

I'm starting with a Legend 7x19 FTV:

Some of the features:

• Mini-split heating/cooling
• TV
• Sink/running water
• Active cooler/freezer
• Starlink Internet
• 2500w 12V battery bank
• 2300w generator
• Rubber raised-coin flooring
• LED lighting
• Insulated walls/floor/ceiling

And here's the layout:

So far I have a large hole in my wallet and a pile of parts! Gonna rip down the walls and do wiring/insulation this week.

I'm curious -
On the 2300W generator, is it a gas unit or the newer EcoFlow (or Anker) lipo types?

Love the trailer. I will enjoy your project.

It's a gas generator for the big stuff like HVAC and battery charging, but I also have 2x 100ah LifePO4 batteries that will run pretty much everything else.

A few (necessary) things I see missing from your Features List are:
1. a couple of 100W Solar Panels.
2. Two 10gallon propane tanks
3. Mini fridge
4. Portable grill/cooktop

..For those Extended off-grid RC excursions.

You just Never know when you need to Backup of your backups..

And, you got to keep your beers chilled & have something to fresh to grill to eat!

So you can Keep on Bashing!

I do have a toy hauler configuration planned. The three shelves on the left will be removable. The toy hauler configuration will be the last two shelves removed and replaced with a futon-like couch/bed setup that spans the width of the trailer.

Really cool project! I have always wanted to do something like this or convert a short bus to be an RV.

Having removed the interior flashing, thus reaching the 1% completion mark, I deserve a beer(s). I already like this process.
