I have about $14k into my truck and trailer. The truck is a 1999 diesel Suburban with low miles and the travel trailer is a 2001 rehabbed travel trailer.

We decided we didn't want to take on any debt with the trailer and found the perfect project for us. We ended up with a hybrid bunkhouse with a hard slide and double bunks for the 4 kids. The trailer took a few months to make road worthy, but we were able to make it our own during the process.
There are plenty of options out there if you're handy and have some spare time. We saved our trailer from the scrap yard and don't regret it a bit.
