Basic Info

Bought for the trailer (only $500!) in May 2017 with plans to completely reconstruct for full-time living.
Approx 16' cabin space, 7.5' wide, dual axle.
Doing all the work ourselves until we can't. Any and all useful advice greatly appreciated and needed!
Money a huge factor. Making renovations as dollars float in.

Interior

Everything taken out to begin renovation.
Will retain original stove/oven;
Need to test original Dometic 3 way fridge/freezer;

Customizations

Renovations and Repairs

Slowly gutting, down to trailer, due to subfloor rot and wall rot.
Rebuilding using 2x4s and Ecofriendly and/or free building materials as much as possible.
