Jack Mayer Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Very nice. I like some of your interior touches a lot. What happened to your last trailer?

qwcslvr1 Posted May 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Sorry so late in replies to questions (Track keeps me busy) Jack, we've had this trailer since summer 08. We are definitely going to build another trailer we are just trying to decide to go either UP or OUT or BOTH. I would love to hear your ideas. If you would like I will PM you my #. Ronbo, those door covers you speak of were actually foldout patios 21'x8' and 17'x8'. They were very heavy and required a winch system to use making them not as user friendly as we liked ,so, we have designed a lightweight multi-panel system that will be able to be lowered and raised manually a section at a time without major effort. The Few, There are several different ways to negotiate a paint job, The painter I used is very fair priced. I personally negotiated a deal where he quoted me all labor and I agreed to pay for materials directly. There are several levels of pricing in materials (single stage, metallic single stage, cheap paint, high end ,on and on and on) I personally opted to spend more on the materials to ensure good color and long life. I used base coat/clear Dupont minimum of 3 or more coats of each color and the clear. I also went with the best UV protectant clear coat for long color life. All that said, I still haven't added it all up but figure I'm probably only in the $12ish to $14,000. range all inclusive. when totally completed we will price this trailer around $97,500. Anne and I would like to thank everyone for their positive comments.

MsChrissi Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Wow, I wish we had that much space! Very cool. There is so much that could be done with that size of trailer or MH. Nice job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
