Our unit began with a brand new 7' x 12' enclosed cargo
trailer that I had built to our specs. It is equipped with 30 amp
electrical service, two roof vents, two slider windows, and a Dometic 13,500
BTU roof air conditioner unit. We went with barn doors in the rear and a
side entry door as well.
Not pictured:
Hustler 5-BTV vertical HF 5 band antenna
A home brew copper j-pole for the 2 meter radio
5/8 wave Firestick antenna for the CB radio
The antenna loft up top in the nose for antenna storage
Honda 7500K Vertex generator
And last but not least, a drop down bed opposite the work
station for those tired bones that don't do well sleeping on the ground.
Total cost for our entire setup was approx $6,900.00 which
was raised by our kids at State Youth Conference in Dec 2005.
The equipment (most of which is brand new) is as follows:

Realistic 40 channel CB radio
(4) GMRS radios w/chargers

Base cabinets and countertops for two workstations
(1) upper storage cabinet
3' x 3' x 1/2" steel antenna base (holes drilled in
each corner to attach grounding rods)
Wired for phone and fax
And of course a small refrigerator to keep the rootbeer
and Dr. Pepper cold
