Thank you for this. And, for everyone else. I thank you, as well. While the main enjoyment of RVing is the traveling and camping, what I meant before was that when completed, she would be something I could go camping with and share that I put in a lot of work. Kind of what was mentioned about restoring a Camaro, or something. It would be a matter of pride. However, it seems that the general consensus is that this is not a realistic idea. I'm hoping that what I have seen looks worse than it really is. However, maybe I will continue to look for something like the beginnings of a skoolie. You did bring up a good point about it being a 30 year old chassis. I haven't been able to really examine well that. So, I may be in for more. However, I'm just trying to get as much info as I can, and take it one step at a time.
There's nothing wrong with this idea. A lot of people rehab Airstreams and end up making money. Problem with those is they will cost you more than a lot of really nice trailers even when they are in pretty bad shape. Point is, you need to start with good bones. You can rebuild cabinets and interior pretty easily. It's not impossible to rebuild chassis, frame, and structure, but it's farm more difficult and far harder to do it safely.
