From reading the OPs previous posts, he has already commited to making his trailer stationary.
That being the case, I have a different take on the situation.... There are VERY few towable RVs that will hold up to full time use.
Even the (few) better ones are not as durable as a real house.
"There are VERY few towable RVs that will hold up to full time use."
You might want to tell that to the thousands and thousands of snow birds that have snow birded in their permanent "towable RVs". Some for as many as thirty and forty years.

When I was looking for my first TT around 30 years ago, I looked at many such snowbird units.
Most all of them had been modded in one way or another similar to what you are doing. All of them showed the effects of constant use, coupled with the inferior matrials they were made of.... Made them a poor choice. That sentence is being quite chairitable. Most of them were slums. What shocked me was how proud they were of their units, thinking that their mods added value.... Which they expected me to pay. I ended up finding an older TT that was unmodded and in great shape.
So no, I won't bother telling them.... They do not see things as they are, and never will.
You found an older trailer but yet it wasn't made of "inferior"
materials !
Not sure where you are coming from, but you are quite lucky.
Also if they are "slums", then "slums" are doing quite well for themselves-renting for 4K a month where we are

But, that unit had been stored unused for 17 years... Indoors!. It looked like new, inside and out. I paid 2300, used it for 4 years, and sold it for 3300.
As for 4K a month... A vacant lot close to the beach can command more than that. Location, location,location.
My original post was to answer a question that GrandpaKip asked me on another string and I am not sure why you felt you should chime in, but since you did , I apologize for rattling your cage and will now bow out.
Respectifully,
Guy
