Build Your Own Travel Trailer
Thought is to take a 15' to 20' long landscape trailer as the base to build a custom travel trailer. Anyone ever build their own trailer? Thoughts, ideas, comments, all appreciated.

I believe cost wise it may be better to find a good used travel trailer and then remodel it to fit your needs. The travel trailer would already be insulated and wired plus have water and holding tanks located to properly balance the weight. I've seen where folks have removed all of the old cabinetry and then designed the interior and built cabinets, beds and seating to meet their desires. Load balance is important as well as load capacity.
Just my thought based on posts I've read over the years and youtube videos I've seen from folks who have done both.
I have fully rebuilt two RVs, I would not consider rebuilding another, ever.
You spend way too much time demo ing then fixing the rot then finally putting back together.
Skip the heartache and lost time, buy an old trailer and cut all the bolts holding the box on the frame and DEMO the ENTIRE wooden structure down to the steel frame then build a new box from frame up..
