Last year I got it done enough so that I could fish out of it. Now this year I finished it up by adding diamond plate to the outside and a stereo with speakers. It is a 17’x7′ V nose trailer. Lucky ND is very loose on trailers. The fender to fender is 9′, but ND allows 10′ with no permit. I have it registered, licensed, and titled. I have a dinette and a bunk bed for sleeping. There are 3 12 volt outlets, 2 12 v USB chargers, stove with range, 19″ TV with a built in DVD that I can run on either 12v or 110v, fan, stereo with 2 outdoor speakers. As for power I have a camper style panel with 12 volt DC on one side and 110v AC on the other side of the panel. I usually run 2 D 29 deep cell batteries and they will last almost 2 days without a charge, but I usually charge them at night anyways. For heat I put a 12v 18,000btu forced air furnace and it works well. Last year we spent the night at -23 and we were in slippers. I put six holes in it with catch covers. Half of the front “V” is a bathroom with a honey bucket. I only put that in there so that my Little girl would go with me for the weekend. All lights to include the trailer lights are LED’s. It also has a 1 piece rubber roof. In the summer my in-laws used it as a camper and I put one window big enough for a small window shaker AC unit and it cools it nicely. I built everything and I really enjoyed the built. I figured I have about half into it compared to a “ice castle”.
It’s a Miltona frame and this is what it started out as.
Dinette with bunk down and folded up. The table also turns into a bed.
Finally the reason I built it. She goes every weekend with me and is a fish slayer. This picture was in Dakota Country magazine.
Im just waiting the lake to freeze up!
