I have a problem. I have these grand plans and so little storage space! I also have a major Burning Man addiction! I already have plans for 2016. :-/
So, here's what I'm contemplating: Building a "custom" trailer from a ~6,000lb flat bed or enclosed trailer and building it up so it triples as storage for my big tricycle, transportation to Burning Man (or where ever), AND a camp bar/cafe space. So... How practical is this? Oie!
Does my description make any sense? I can't figure out the right search terms to find other people who have done something similar...

Re: DIY Trailer/Custom Trailer
"Toy Hauler" is probably the term to search.
I'd try "custom toy hauler" or "Home made toy hauler"

Re: DIY Trailer/Custom Trailer
Thanks! In a really round about way, that helped me find the key part of my search. I want to make something like this, but home made and more playa-appropriate: http://www.ortenfresh.de/uk/vorratsfahrzeuge.htm It's the bottom right one, in black, that I'm most interested in. I will store my crap in it, and transport it, with the sides down and looking like a harmless little storage trailer. Then BAM, Playa bar! http://www.ortenfresh.de/images/fotosho ... pakt_1.jpgCaptain Goddammit wrote:"Toy Hauler" is probably the term to search.

You can design it with hinged shelves & counters, so when it's in storage/transport mode you have more space, then you just lift the shelves & insert legs to make it the bar.
