Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Found this trailer in the next town, 25miles away sitting at a used car lot. It was built for a Beer Distributor, they had kegs of beer inside, totally insulated and a drain and water tank underneath. They ran lines from the kegs to a bar to serve beer at events. Only has a door over the tongue, (Weird) but it's a tandem to carry all those heavy kegs! Just needs a fender on one side. Inside dimensions.. 5' 9" wide by 9"6" long by 6" 3" high.
What do y'all think for $900 :thinking:

Lone, I think you got a great deal !!! Did it come with the Beer too ... :thumbsup:

No

Unfortunately it's empty

At least I won't have the expense of insulating it. Would like to have another door somewhere :thinking:

Oh well, Good deal anyway , probably easy to put in another door or most anything else you wanted ... :thumbsup:

Well, it was not in as good a shape as the owner stated! Alot of rust, 3 bad tires, the door on front didn't seal and was rotted inside and the floor was diamond plate steel! The holding tank was broken up badly! I passed!

the last thing you want is trouble down the road with repairs and they are bound to happen at the worst time like on a trip?
that's why I bought a new trailer,unless your lucky and find something like new but used or better know the person selling it you don't know?

I still have some possibilities, will check them out and update my search!

The one thing I learned was to take your time and keep looking it's a buyers market,keep looking on Ebay when you search just put in the miles from your area.
also keep looking on Craigs list, although I have my trailer I still look for the fun it and all kind of things come up for sale on there.
I was looking today and there was a nice work and play toyhauler 18ft for 6.500 and it's already sold= it's not on there now?
I wanted to build my own but that was a deal I probably have more than that in mine and it had a roof air and a awning those things are loaded and he said in the AD they never used the bath room they always used the camp grounds.
I was just about to buy a E2000 honda generator on Ebay when I searched on Craigs list and found 1 for 600 dollars he had 2 and had just sold the other the day before or I would have bought them both,went down and he cranked it up and watched it run while we talked he also gave me a cable to lock it up with.
another thing if there is a phone number call it ASAP don't rely on Email.

This one just came up I wonder how long it will last,?

DAMN!!!

Went and picked up the 5x10 today!! :applause:

It's got Luan on walls and ceiling...will have to replace that on the walls before I can build anything that attaches to the walls. A friend of mine who's a new construction electrician said he would wire the whole trailer for me!!
Things are just about to come together!
Only thing I don't like about it is the 13" tires/wheels. Pulls at 70mph without any problems. Will keep the forum updated as work get's started!!
