Will this build also cost you more than just buying a RV? I thought about a build a long time ago with a 8x14 carog trailer.
Couple things... I design equipment trailers for a living. We have a shop with all the tools and a fair amount of the parts, and company is gracious enough to allow the use of these facilities after hours.
I have a fair amount of the expensive parts I need from my old RV (Dometic reefer, new water pump, fantastic vent, maxxair vent, new toilet, magnum inverter)
I can get the solar I need for cost (we use them on equip trailers) and will probably use a set of dexter axles we have.
thx
