I didn't have a donor trailer but I spent a ton of time on ebay and CL looking for deals. That's half the fun....ugh. Also, I have a slight hoarding issue that prevents me from discarding useable materials and hardware and such. Not to say I can find it when I need it, but I've got one of those, somewhere. I did get my wet bath set up of ebay 100.00 shipped, and a RV Norcold fridge never used out of a boat 170.00, and I actually got my Mach III A/C-Heater for just the cost of shipping from a veteran of this forum. He lives about as far away from me as you can get and still be in in the same country, so shipping wasn't cheap, but the A/C was perfect! If your not in a hurry you can work around the really spendy items and re-use stuff and network and barter/trade etc. and then the little things like lights and pumps are more manageable. Oh yea, I also scored my WFCO 8955 from this forum. 50.00 plus shipping. again not cheap shipping but still half price and perfect. Even the trailer I found on CL and the guy who sold it towed it over from Rapid City in the winter! 1500.00 and lunch and drinks, made a good friend as well. Bargain. It's been quite a journey, but I enjoyed it.
