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

Grab the refridge too ya never know, plus you can sell if you don't use it

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.

badfish, Howdy;

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.

Nice,,,gonna pull it and mess with it. I do large tonnage hvac stuff for a living. I should be able to figure it out. Just hope it doesn't need too much in parts
