I think it's rare to find a used trailer that is 6.1/2 or taller so I ordered mine and I paid 5000.00 in 2010 but I did have it built 7ft tall and I had a window and the rv screen door put in and also the rear stabilizer jacks all really worth the money, I spent 400.00 on the aluminum rims and I bought RV decals to dress it up some.
I did spend a lot making the inside look and feel like a mancave so the time I did spend in it I would be more comfortable, if I were to do it again I would like to have a 7x20 ft and a nicer bathroom set up with holding tanks.
I have thought about doing a remodel and adding a better bathroom and toilet with holding tanks but I just don't want to spend the money or the time to make it a little nicer than what I have now.
The thing about doing it yourself is you can make it as bare bones and simple as you want, and know how to fix it if something goes wrong.
Yeah I'm a contractor so doing this won't be hard for me. I won't be living in the trailer 24x7 so it wont bother me. I'll be working and in the warmer months if I'm "home" Ill have table an chairs sitting outside or doing work on the trailer. I'm always on the move doing something. It's a place to sleep and on bad weather days stay inside and watch movies, internet or play some video games. People always say they can't live in a small place but even in large homes they are in one room 90% of the time. Plus if I get too caged up I can just hop in my truck and drive somewhere and do something. There are people on youtube who live in conversion and cargo vans now that is something I could NOT do...yet they are happy. Everyone is different.
