Enclosed trailer advice

[cuz1]

I am fixing the front end of a 40ft enclosed trailer with living quarters and need to know where to buy RV windows and accessories. Also need general advice on electrical and plumbing. The trailer is already rigged with some electrical, interior lights, receptacles, winch.
thanks

ebay, craiglists or drive to Indiana...

What's in Indiana?

What's in Indiana?

The large majority of the RV manufacturers & suppliers...


outside of that, nothing but a ton of @$$hole drivers and huge swarms of bugs (biblical proportions)

Along with the Mgfs there are a ton or surplus, 2nd, takeouts etc.. That are available up there. You will find that many of the Ebay sellers are up that way. But if your buying a ton of stuff it might be worth a trip up..

What about getting a "dead" RV or trailer, and literally taking it apart/scavenging all the things you need?
And would you mind explaining your rough floor plan? I'm kind of curious how you plan to divvy up 40 ft and pack in there, that's a lot of space!

I have framed a wall 11' back from the cab over part so it should make for a nice area. I will have cabinets on the left wall with a frig & sink. I will be putting a shower on the exterior of the trailer. I have not figured out the couch and dinig layout yet. I do have a water heater, pump and water storage tank. I am looking for a roof top ac and heater combo unit. I did find a bunch of reasonably priced stuff on ebay. There will be plenty of room to haul the mud racing bronco or my trail rig with room for extra tires, tools, grill, generator, air compressor.
