LOL!!!! Still BS. I've bought the stuff for a trailer like that myself. No way 9300 bought it all. LOL!!!!!! Damn nice job but did you see all the wrinkles in the siding in the one pic where the sun highlighted the sides?

It would be interesting to see what the RV dealer would give them for a trade value? I doubt he has $9,300. I bet he has alot more than that in it. So how would that work for resale? since it wasn't factory built, if it makes a difference.

Don't bet on that. You'll be in for a surprise. Liability ,yes. Full coverage,not likely if you build it yourself AND carry atv's,buggies,motorcycles-------anything with gas in it.

transportation of fuel is a huge issue in a camper but not in a farm truck so far. i asked about a fueling station with H&H while pricing out a gooseneck and he said sorry we can't do that to many problems and red tape to deal with and he didn't know how the camper people got away with it either.
