I Had to look at the poster of this since it almost sounded like my Conex.

Mine is also a double-ended 40' Hi-Cap with a pair of solar fans for ventilation as I also keep gasoline powered equipment in there as well as my cab tractor.

Whoa, that is a deluxe container! The security covers for the door and windows is a nice feature.
How much did that bad boy run ya, delivered?

Looking at my receipt dated 02OCT20 it was $8,915.19 taxed, delivered and placed. This was also a one trip unit.

I have had zero issues with this in the past 5 years, other than wasps insisting on using the lock covers for nests. I currently live 100 miles away from this site and only get up on weekends.

One advantage to a shipping container is that they are not considered to be permanent structures and not taxable as such (at least down here).

We couldn't get it out to this location at this point.

Thanks. Just spent a little too long lusting over all the container options at xcaliber's website. Many awesome options!

If you have a friend with a skidder, could use that to quickly make some trails.

I remember seeing used skidders up there for sale some definitely cheaper than a lot of newer compact
tractors out there. If I had 80 acres I'd probably buy a smaller one. on a positive side you already have the dozer track to make a trail drag, and what that track might have been used for previously.

So, it looks like this is a haul your own water in off-grid. Would you be able to put in / drive a shallow sand point well with a cistern pump?

What is the lighting inside - gas, 12v or 115v?

My guess is that with each trip, you will "tighten up" the camp and make it better.

A little bird told me you might be needing power.

I recently did a fairly deep dive into solar and took my house off grid for about $15k. I have 18kw of power available, or about 160a, and 90kwh battery, with 11kw of panels, for around 15k. I can run my well pump, ac, range, electric dryer, pool pump, pretty much anything I want, even charge my EV.

If you want any tips, let me know.

Hey @fatjay did you do a write up of this. I am interested in reading about this.

A few points that will cover many comments. This is shelf rock country and the owner said you can't put in a sand point. The road going out is in terrible shape and any work being done out there, will greatly be influenced by that. So the roads improvement potential needs to be investigated before any major updates can be done that require more than a UTV traveling in.
