had this made at local CNC shop from plexiglass. He cut a groove in it and I put weather stripping in it. When I move out I put lid on and strap it down to table. There are a few drops that leak out but nothing major

Nice. I had a park model unit for years and considered more than once but temperature changes in the cabin of RV made me think twice

I did have an ac go out one day a while back and lost a bunch of stuff. Now I have two ac s so I don’t have a repeat..

James May on the Grand Tour figured out the way you don't do it.

Glad to answer any questions you might have. We live in RV full time and work from it.

I have a 39 foot class a that I live in full time. I have a 26 gallon reef tank. We travel with it on the road constantly. had a top made for it and I strap it down

I first saw the thread soon after the OP made it, and was just waiting for "yes you can do it look at this........"

Oustanding! Thank you for showing us this and telling us how you manage it.

Anyone have an aquarium in a mobile home, manufactured home, trailer, or another type style? If so what are the pros and cons? Is it even possible? Any threads available or pictures out there?

I live in a trailer. I have a 32g tank. Dont really have any cons other than not being able to go any bigger.

I bought a 75g and with all the weight from that we cannot because of the flooring. Other than that no cons for me.

I have a 40 foot travel trailer that I live in full time. I have a size 16 bio cube with coral and fish so far everything has been fine no issues since my camper has a solar backup system built in case of power outages at the campground. I haven’t tried moving my camper yet with it but my bio cube has a sealed lid and I plan to strap it down and remove about 25% of the water and remove the fish into plastic bags like you get from the fish store not exactly ideal as far as stressing the fish but I’ve heard of other people having good success with this method.
