I bought a 6x12 2016 Wells Cargo Enclosed Single Axle for conversion to a part-time RV/Camper.

I found a few videos and pics of these being done on TT and such but nothing with notes on some things.. hence this blog being made for you folks to read and garner some more knowledge maybe..

Again just know anything YOU do to YOUR trailer is your liability. Also know that this will VOID any manufacturers warranties on your trailer..

Cost for it was $2775 and then PA tax and tags, etc.. $3201.XX

This model has a 78" interior height (6" extra height as the dealers would say) and a 32x72 side door (most are 32x66 or less). I opted for 'barn doors' as the single rear ramp is known to have spring breakage issues and I wanted to avoid that and with the 'barn doors' I can open 1 half of the rear at a time if needed.

In PA trailers less than 3000# GWVR don't require annual inspections and a 6x12 would afford me a Full Size bed of 54x74. I am single so this will work. I also have a 32x72 GI type cott for my son as a guest.

I'm on a budget and I want to wait till spring to go forward to much.. So I broke out some cardboard and started fabbing some workups for different things.

The trailer nose (which is curved) has 14" to the trailer jack 'plate'.. so space is tight..

1st is the propane and battery mount. I think these 2 items are crucial on a travel trailer/camper.

I found the standard propane 20# double mount works fine on the right and on the left side is the Group 24 battery case. The double tank mount is 9"x24" and with a standard 12 1/8" diameter (20-30#) propane tank I am good to go, the mount is like $30 on Amzn.. The Group 24 battery case ($6 on Amzn) is 8 1/2" deep, 12 1/2"w, and 10 1/2" high the 9" tray will hold the 8 1/2" wide battery case for added slide stoppage if needed.. The crank handle clears both as well.

I plan on adding the $35 7 pin wiring box with 7 pin connector for possible brake later and also to have a 12v hot lead to trickle charge the battery (in the box while driving) and work the 12v interior light that came with the trailer without having to be hooked to the truck with the parking lights on. I bought a 4 pin wiring 18" lead so I don't need to cut my current trailer factory lead..

Stay tuned..
