New Bug-out and Go Emergency Amateur Radio Station Camperfor remote broadcasting
Fully solar powered with Fireplace and air conditioning. This was a cargo trailer conversion to a camper completely custom by me from scrap. This contains a full amateur radio station, podcast studio, solar with battery backup and all the amenities. The Toyota FJ is electrically connected to the camper and can control all aspects of the custom function of communications and security.

The photos displayed depict the cargo trailer in its original state, devoid of any radios, solar panels, or studio equipment. It was nothing more than an empty shell. However, in just a month’s time, we had transformed it into a livable space. This came in handy when we had to evacuate from the Tamarack fire and ended up living there for over a week. Fortunately, I had installed a solar system by then, which powered the air fans that helped us keep cool during the extreme heat. It also allowed us to keep our cell phones charged. By summer’s end, I had completed all the installations, and we took it out for its first camping trip in the fall of 2020. This time, we used the fireplace to keep warm instead of the fans to keep us cool.
