Welcome to the Cargo Trailer Conversion (CTC) Build
This site is a complete, transparent record of converting a 28’ V‑nose enclosed cargo trailer
into a fully functional, personalized living space. Every system, measurement, layout, and design
decision is documented here so it can be referred to later, refined over time, and shared with
others who want to build their own CTC.

About This Build
This project is more than a conversion — it is a long‑term, evolving system. Everything is
documented with clarity and precision so it can be improved over time and shared with others who
want to build something similar. The goal is to provide ideas, confidence, and a clear look at
what’s possible in a custom CTC build.
