Custom Trailer For Sale in Colorado

Peter Pavlowich Is the proprietor of  Casual Turtle Campers in Fort Collins, Colorado;  one of his campers is featured in our forthcoming book Tiny Homes on the Move. Here is his latest trailer, built since the book went to press.

“The Terrapin is our new model series of trailer campers. Similar to the small trailers of the 1950s and 60s, these campers are a great platform for road trips, car-camping, or to haul to the lake. They offer a little more room than is typically available in the bed of the truck, and can be disconnected to set up base camp. When mounted to a trailer frame, the possibilities for small custom campers are nearly endless…


Perched on a custom 5’x8′, fully boxed trailer frame, this camper is ready for the road. With seven windows all around the cabin, this camper has the views of a lookout tower and the feel of a ship’s cabin. The 6″ memory foam dinette-to-bed conversion is extremely comfortable for both sitting and sleeping. Beetle kill blue-stain pine flooring is not only attractive, but will wear well with years of use.

   Sitting inside this camper is unlike any camping experience you’ve had. The five opening windows let in not only the light, but the breezes and the sounds – in other words, the reason you’re there. A cup of coffee or a glass of wine, even in unpleasant weather, is made that much better by still be able to experience your surroundings.”
