    Default So I bought an old Pottstown Radar trailer. Then I made a coffin sized Bugout camper.

    6'x4'x3'. Sleeps two and pup tightly to say the least. Weighs 400lbs and can be pulled by any car.

    I'll update with progress pics. I've assembled a 100w single panel solar Bluetooth monitored lithium setup with cell chargers, 12v fan, and 12v mini heater. If there's any real interest I'll go into greater detail. Complete budget was $1000 including a new hitch for my car.

    The idea here is to be able to stay at any Walmart on a road trip for a night but keep it stocked to bugout should I need.

    Cool. I was considering something similar when I was working 12 hour weekend shifts 70 miles from my home.

    I know a magazine that would probably publish an article about how you built it if you wanted to write one.

    If you're on Facebook, "Overlanding for the Poors" is your people. They'd have a (good) fit over this.
