Hey there,
Thanks for the links.
Yes, cost will be looked at for sure.
I have a US address that I get things shipped to, so I just have to hop across the border and pick things up.
Looks like we will be in the $3-4000 range to get it up to snuff using new parts (rough orders of parts have us at between 2-2500CAN).
With 3 grown sons we were thinking that this could be a cool unit for them to be able to use until they get on their feet....not to mention I have some pretty cheap labour available :) We will use it for a couple years until we get ourselves our pre-retirement trailer....much better than tenting.
That said, I still haven't got it completely stripped down, so if I find any showstoppers in that process it might all be off.
