This is a nice trailer, but I think it's a gross misrepsentation she built this for only $11,000

Unless 50% material was donated !!

I like the wood buring stove! Gives it a homey feel.

Prem, that Interstate Cadet on the roof of the RV looks pretty cool, I think that is the same one I saw at an airshow a few years ago, it was not painted like that though. Look at Kitfoxes and Just Highlanders, people trailer them around behind RVs sometimes.

Jerry,

I could build it for that or less by using salvage. Note that it's a gooseneck trailer. Probably a former (urine-destroyed, horse trailer/tackroom or wrecked race car hauler. If she used 2x4s and sheet rock for those interior walls, I have to say that she could have built it better, lighter and with with more interior volume. She designed it like a long hallway. Not a pleasing living space for me.


piperpilot,

Yeah. It looks like my buddy Rick's Kitfox. (Who just drove 2,400 miles round trip in 4 days to go get a new motor for it in southern NM.)

Long trip for an engine, price musta been good! Rotax 912 or O-200? I built an O-200 and sent it to Canada this past spring. Getting hard to find decent O-200s anymore unless you buy new.

I am trying to get a co-worker to sell me his 02 Dodge diesel. If I get he truck I may end up building a second CT conversion, and a 24 to 26 foot gooseneck would be nice for the extra 8 to 10 feet of free storage in the forward upper area.

piperpilot,

OEM. Some engine from Australia. ("Jabaroo?")

Jabiru makes a nice little engine, but I am not a fan of the fuel system. Other than that is quite a piece of fine engineering!

What I wish I would have done to my CT:

You guys have me thinking about spray foam for my CT.
I found this site where the installer is about 20 miles from me.
I think I will go talk to them. I have no idea about the cost or any out gassing issues. Will learn more as I go along.

About 1/2 way through the photos is a van and a CT being foamed.

That looks like the cats meow. Too bad they wont do it at the factory.

[lrrowe]

Yeah, but would that not make it harder for wiring jobs?

Yeah, but would that not make it harder for wiring jobs?

Depends on how the wiring is done. I didn't run any wiring in the wall. Mine are covered but where I can get to it so I can add to or modify my system as needed.

A good foam setup can cost up to $50,000 - I was just looking at them a few days ago
I don't think you would put that in your trailer factory
To just use it once in a blue moon
