Any idea what this trailer was made/ used for?

[GON]

Kind of a neat trailer- never saw anything quite like it. Trailer has a pintle hitch. Trailer sure is long- that is a length I would prefer a fifth wheel or gooseneck rather than bumper pull unless I had a really big tow vehicle.

I was thinking maybe this was a mobile bunkhouse for oil field workers? If I lived close, I would be over at the auction yard checking it out. Keystone I thought was a "name brand", yet the VIN plate is hand engraved. 7,000 lbs axles....

Decided to bid- which I won't win, my max bis is $1200.

Maybe custom built during pandemic when insane demand for camping trailers happened to create living quarters?

Beats me, appears to me no less than eight bunks in this trailer.

looks like a bunkhouse

A mobile meth lab? Could explain why it caught on fire..

Reminds me of the Uhaul from IASIP's The gang hits the road.

Hardly with a build date of 2010. The www.fusiontrailers.com isn't a valid address. You could try the phone number on the trailer. You could keep a bunch of auction bikes in it.

Looks like a carnival bunkhouse to me. My BIL worked for the Carnival...boy do I have some stories... At any rate they had 3 similar units.

A test bed for fire suppression systems. They tested it one time too many.

That was build of trailer not customizer who finished it between 2010-time of fire.

Plausible but do you think it sat somewhere for 10 years until C19 came along? No wonder they went out of biz.

That wouldn't be allowed in many RV parks-even if it was restored.

The company whose sticker is on the outside of the trailer does have a facebook page but appears to have been out of business since 2018 or so... They appear to been heavily involved in custom rigs for auto racing of all types...

Looks like they sold off their inventory in 2019 in a Bankruptcy auction...

I do not think the wife would approve as temporary living quarters, but you can try

Looks like it was built for long distance passenger service. Overnight they could sleep in beds instead of sitting upright in bus seats while going to the next stop. Beats taking the dog.

From the exterior windows, I'm seeing no fewer than 10. 4 on the driver's side and 6 on the passenger side.

With it having a pintle hitch (as opposed to a gooseneck), it could be pulled by something with a dump bed.... such as a dump truck. Or... by a heavy truck with some other piece of equipment already mounted on the back of it, but still having an available hitch plate.

Maybe this company now.
