This is the story behind a 2013 CarMate 7' x 18' trailer as it is being converted into the worlds very first 100% Solar heated and cooled Rv trailer. I decided to build my own "Over The Top Cargo Trailer" as there was nothing like it on the market. Check in from time to time to see what's new. Currently i'm upgrading the solar system to 2250 watts. Installing 100% solar a/c. The 2013 CarMate trailer looks great - check out all my improvements.

I hope to get out on the road with my custom solar trailer as soon as possible. I really enjoyed building this one-of-a-kind unit. My idea has become to add more solar and try to stay out for maybe 30 days vs. most RV's that can boondock for max 3-7 days. If you have some ideas on something that you would really, like to have in your dream trailer - RV please let me know. If I install it then I'll be able to work out the kinks for you. Having almost completed Version one 95% I have decided it did not meet my design goals and have now built this 2013 CarMate - which is turning out much better then expected, but the going is slow as I am still working on my regular o'l job.
