re: Shipping Container Camps

North of Dallas. His is pretty nice. Windows, a/c, big bathroom and shower, living room, and bunk room. It's insulated and dry walled. They threw the rubber flooring down like you would see in a gym and it's painted camo. Delivered was 12,500.
Might be kinda steep but they didn't have time to diy. I don't know how to post pics but if someone sends me an email I'll send the Pics to post

Guy I know bought simply a shipping container and used it as a barn basically. Would think it would make a great camp type deal
then you could build a hill over it with dirt and BOOM underground bunker. Know a guy who did this with his house except it wasnt a shipping container

Thanks.
The point of it is not for travel - just for mobilization from point A to point B - because arranging someone to move it time after time would be a bitch.
Travel trailers require plenty routine maintenance and they always go to shite when unattained - especially at hunting camps.
These containers are pretty solid and sealed pretty tight and can be locked down extremely well.
Get my drift?

Build roof structure to help protect. Don't leave during offseasons. You can still acquire a smaller container that you can use to lock stuff in and leave all the time. But trying to make a container as accomodating as a travel trailer is a waste of time IMO. Plus you can insure a travel trailer for next to nothing, not sure what the hell you gonna do for the shipping container on wheels.

it would be cool as frick though.
but logistically... them trailers with slides and all provide for more interior room. Posted on 11/7/12 at 11:34 am to Chad504boy

I've been living in a shipping container for the past 1 1/2 years. Get an empty one, put down a 2x4 frame all the way around, insulate, plywood/drywall, add a window unit and you're good to go. Doesn't have a bathroom but that can be added. 2 people can live fairly comfortably in a 40x10. The one I'm in now the doors are left open and a wall was built with a regular door and the window unit in it. When you need to lock up, close the main doors and slap a padlock on for security.

WAs this by choice?

It's either this or a tent. I prefer the shipping container by myself than a tent with 7 other guys.

dude, seriously why are you just not buying a travel trailer?

Schedule isn't that bad. 12 hours a day at work, in my last position on a bad day I worked maybe 8 of that, current position maybe 2 hours a day on average.
With my company, we get to go on vacation every 6 months or so, there are others that do 90 days on 30 days off.
