Want to save money RVing? Go bowling instead. Want a rugged, individualized camper? Check out cargo trailer conversions. But only if you have the skills or are willing to learn the skills necessary to create your own.
My buddy started some of us down this trail when he get sick of typical travel trailer weaknesses. Things like bent axles, delamination, leaks, and spongy floors drove him to converting a horse trailer into a camper. He had his last blowout over ten years ago after switching. Check out the payload of the average manufactured travel trailer, usually around 1,000 pounds. You can create one with two or three times that if you like. Your money, your choice. Have fun and don't pay any attention to the Negative Neds, or me. Do what you do.
