While we have a trailer that we could attempt a first build with, my husband is not gung-ho to use it. I'm not sure what he's thinking about doing, but I'm pretty sure he has first dibs and a different plan for it. Other, stranger options include a pick-up from the 1970s and a 1994 Ford Aerostar mini-van, neither of which are running. Do think it's possible to do something along the lines of a teardrop or tiny trailer using one of those auto-bodies. Lose the engine, transmission, etc., maybe substitute a small water tank for the fuel tank, add some sort of rig for towing instead of restoring it for driving. Comments and thoughts?
To give you an idea of our "thrift" factor, we currently drive a 2002 suburban and a Dodge pick-up that's somewhere between one and two decades old, both of which have towing packages. I'll have to check, but I think both are rated to tow 3,000 lbs or more. We had planned to replace one of those this summer but that was our Before plan.
Now I'm making myself content with what we have, dreaming / scheming for what we can make with what we have, and hoping when the time comes and if need be, we'll be able to upgrade.Thanks for the input!
