Check out my Camper Parlor!
Just put the finishing touches on it yesterday afternoon! Of course there is still some minor tweaking to do, as there always is, but here it is!

(all pictures are taken from right inside the door)

2 stanchions

Milking machine cleaning and storage station

Walkway and feed storage

with door opened - kid pen/ kidding stall/ infirmary

would love to hear feedback and/or suggestions for improvement! I decided that washable walls were just going to be too expensive for right now, but besides the wood floor walkway, all floors are covered with heavy duty tarps that are tacked in place.

Thanks for looking!

What a great idea! I've been trying to find old campers like this for other things but I really like what you've done.
God bless,

Wow! That's a great idea.

What size camper is that? Any chance we can get a couple of pictures of the outside?

I saw a camping trailer on the Goodwill auction site a while back - the description said it had been gutted on the inside - and it went for next to nothing (I can't remember now how much - but the minimum bid was $100.00 and I don't think more than one or two people bid on it).

Nice way to repurpose something that would have probably ended up as scrap.

I think it's coming along really well, your doing a great job!

Do you have a lock on the kidding/infirmary room so they can't push the door open to the feed?

That is WONDERFUL!!! Congrats on thinking outside of the box!

I used an old trailer as a chicken house once. It worked really good. I think you should send this to Countryside or some magazine.

Trout River, that's impressive! You're doing a great job there!

Can't think of any suggestions, but will be looking forward to reports on how it's working for you.
