New 30' cargo trailer ordered for RV conversion

Postby Old Hippie » Tue Aug 15, 2017 1:20 am

It's being built by Synergy in Georgia and I should have it in 4 to 6 weeks. I don't know if I can stand the wait!

Looking forward to the build. Waiting is definitely not fun, but it does give you time to plan and buy lots of fun stuff!!

That is a long trailer indeed. That length is going to make forest roads, BLM roads, downtown streets, city parking and mountain switch back corners a challenge to say the least. Remember, the best boondock/camping is on the worst roads.

Yes I think 20', dimensions of a cargo container, is about my limit.

Wish I was shorter so a sideways bed could go in a 7' wide, think I'll need 7.5.

Yes, a 7 ft wide CTC gets you barely wider than 6 ft for a bed on the interior. After the walls, interior hardware and the gap needed for movement, barely 6'2 for the bed length. In my case, I just make it under that by two inches so okay.

Hmmm... I've never wanted to be shorter, but I wouldn't mind being less big around. Just sayin'...

Our 1st was a 32' Whale.
We used it for work/living in remote locations, and then converted it to a food trailer.Image

Congrats. My CTC is a Cynergy 7x16 the "Advanced" model. Are you picking it up at the factory or buying thru a local dealer? The reason I ask is make sure your running/parking lights work before you leave. Its the one problem I had with mine that I had to fix by not checking my lights before leaving my dealer. The run/parking lights on the trailer were causing a fuse to pop/blow. The problem was in the lights mounted at the fender. When they drilled a hole thru the trailer sidewall they didn't use any grommets. As the wire passed thru it got nicked on the "hot side". It was blowing even a 20A fuse. It took a while to find the culprit.

Other then that I like the trailer and would buy another Cynergy built unit...
