Bi-Level Camper Includes Porch, Garage

Bi-Level Camper Includes Porch, Garage AG WORLD 28-3-22 A 46-ft., bi-level camper built by Del Bergsgaard of Shelly, Minn., has some unique extra features. Besides all the regular amenities of any large trailer or motor home, the unit includes an open-air 8 by 9-ft. porch on the top level that can be used for sight-seeing, visiting or grilling. In addition, there's a 12-ft. airtight garage at the back where the traveler can haul a smaller car. The door turns into a ramp and the entire unit requires a semi-truck to pull it. The trailer is of all-welded steel construction, with two inches of rigid foam insulation all around, seven windows, and stainless steel sewer and water tanks. On the main floor, there's a 9-ft. long TV lounge, a 25 sq. ft. bathroom, a 20-ft. long kitchen, a short hallway, and a 12-ft. long garage. The upper level includes a 9-ft. long bedroom, a 9-ft. balcony and a 14-ft. bedroom. The trailer meets department of transportation regulations for all U.S. states and Canada, according to Bergsgaard. Bergsgaard says he built the whole camper himself in his metal fabrication shop, and had fun doing it. He's had many inquiries from others who are interested in having him build them. "I'm interested in finding like-minded people I could work together with on building these trailers," he says. "It's very feasible for myself and four other good men û an electrician, a cabinet maker, a plumber and another welder to build these to order and sell as many as we could make. The price would range from $90,000 to $200,000, depending on which features the buyer wants. In the meantime, Bergsgaard rents his trailer to rig owner/operator friends, and he's interested in selling it.
