been lurking for a while,,, trailer will be in this week,its a homesteader patriot added to the height 7' inside upgraded to 10k gvw moved the side door back so it wouldn't interfere with the bathroom wall. had 3 vents installed in the roof center braced for ac.
while i was waiting for the trailer to be built a friend had a 32' camper with a water leak headed for the junk yard,only 12 years old!!! scored all the appliances and mechanical all but the ac for $200 got the water heater furnace, power panels and cables,fresh water tank,pump,stove ,micro wave and all the little switches and gizmo's,ohh and a propane /120 fridge

Going back Saturday to grab the rest. The owner had the trailer pugged in overnight and the fridge was hot inside. The roof vent was smashed so I don't know if that is an issue. Going to see if I can fix it. Grabbing the fresh water tank too. Didn't want to open a can of worms with the black lol

The fridge may not work on electric, but maybe it will on propane.

The roof vent is a separate item, rebapuck is correct, it may work with propane
and they don't burn that much compared to a heater or a stove.
