Hi guys,
First let to tell you how I have been doing things.
This was our 4th year of haunting at a Campground in NWPA (In main Building). Problem with this is Im limited on Space and I have to setup and tear down each year. Vary hard to do when making a Haunt. And due to weather constraints I cant stay open for the full month of Oct.
I have the space for a trailer haunt in a Over grown Back Field on the Campground Property. And I would have to run water and a couple of electric lines to that area for Power Sources. (Better than having a Generator running)
I have found a Company out of Ohio who can provide me with relatively inexpensive Old Used Simi Trailers for around $2800 - $3200 I'd like to start with 4-6 of these to start to build a haunt with.
I want to design this to be able to have several features 1 of which is to be mobile if we ever did decide to move it. and to be expandable so i can add more trailers as time goes on.
My biggest question to those who have used or seen this kind of haunt is how do i create a interconnection between the trailers that is waterproof and that will still give me a secure opening if the trailers are not parked in the configuration for the haunt.
Im guessing that one would build the Walls and rooms as if one was building a house with 2x4's and plywood. Would you also beef up the outer walls in this same manner?
My thinking would be to use a entry door for a house and do some sort of framing around that to make the connections between the trailers.
Thanks for your Help!!
