What do you think it will weigh?
the 27ft frame gave me a nice porch on the front. You can see it in some of the build pics.
I bought the 20 footer form Allstar container in Houston and picked it up on the trailer frame.
The tare weight of the container is 4500lbs I think. So with the trailer and everything inside I estimate 6000-6500lbs, but never weighed it.

Looks awesome!
I run a small window unit off a generator.

Just make sure that the weight is proportioned evenly.
I always get nervous when there is a lot of weight on the back of a trailer.
I speak from a couple personal experiences that i'll never forget.

It has held up great, still no bugs or mice or water in it!

When you cool one of these containers with a AC,in most of Texas, the condensation could build up on the steel walls inside your interior wall if you don't have a good vapor barrier. Eventually this would causing rust and mold. I think I would just go with a good vapor barrier and fiberglass insulation if I did it again.
The condensation does build up on my windows. This could possibly be solved by adding a vent of some kind, but I was trying to keep this thing water/bug tight and not cut any holes in it that would allow water in.
I called around to a couple spray foam installers and told them I would even bring it to them. No one really wanted to mess with it for less than $1800...that may be different today though.
