Here's a low budget Hauler Project my son and I put together. 7.3 ltr diesel retired Uhaul. It's not fancy, but it functions. We are heading to Tellico later this month. AC, full 120 volt and 12 volt systems, 1500 w inverter, water tank, water heater, grey water tank, work bench. overhead storage.
Doors and windows from an RV graveyard.

back section. The bi fold doors have to be open to fit the jeep inside. 4 9000lb. tie downs bolted through the frame.

Out door Bubba shower with hot and cold water.

Dash mounted monitor to keep an eye on the jeep inside and a camera mounted out the rear to watch the jeep on a trailer.

And just so the neighbors know what it is for:

It's been a blast to put together. The air suspension drops the truck down 4" and some ramps do the rest.

Thanks. Here's the pics. I don't have any with it finished and the jeep in it.ibrocun said:
It's a 26 foot truck. The width inside is 7' 7".hotwheelsYJ said:
Here's an early shot looking from the rear. There is quite a bit of room up top. I have an air bed up there now. You can store alot of stuff up there. I have a cargo net to keep things from falling. I'll shoot a better pic. later.
Rockcrawln, two cj's would fit in one of these, unless you have a monster stinger on them. Watch your GVW limits. One thing you might try, the Florida DOT let me reclassify this from a commercial truck to a motor home once I put 120 volt and water hook up. That made the license and insurance a lot cheaper.
The roof now has 1" thick foam insulating board between all the aluminum stringers. It keeps things a lot cooler.
I picked up one of those outdoor shower doo-dads myself... haven't installed it yet... throwing around shower curtain attachment ideas for it... that or I'll just have to give everyone a show 
btw, just noticed the "Manatee, the other white meat" bumper sticker.
Almost blew coffee out my nose!:laughing:
