That looks like it is comfortable. Did you just have a cab laying around or something.

How cheap is cheap, if you don't mind me asking?

$600.00
all alluminum frame and skin
fiberglass top
I bought the trailer at a garage sale a coulple years ago for $50.00
with everything I will probably end up having $1200.00 in the thing
but I believe it will last longer than I will

That is cool, and much cheaper than the fiberglass blinds I see for sale.

I started building this type of blind 3 years ago. I bought the sleepers and built the trailers to fit them. I have built 6 blinds and 1 still needs to be finish out. If any one is interested I will sell it as is. It is on the trailer and has a slider window installed. If interested I can send pics. They are super easy to move around with a 4 wheeler.
I also left all of the 12 volt lights in and pulled all of the wiring into one end of the sleeper and built a box. Then I put a 12 volt battery with a solar panel on the end of the sleeper.
On 3 of the sleepers I left the upper bunk (that folds up) so that you could sleep in them.

Thanks
