Stuff adds up! I bought '75 Crown on EBay in April 02 for $2500. It is not done yet. Bought new or scratch/dent roof AC, Furnace, Range, Inverter, Onan Genset on EBay. Bought storm wrecked camper and salvaged parts including toilet & waste tank. Bought 4 new tires & wheels, 100# propane tank, paint, wood, insulation, screws etc. Have kept track of every penney with tax. Now at $12,576.62. This includes the Greyhound ticket and 1800 mile trip to pick it up. All labor my own except $2500 deck welded to rear. Mostly done except for plumbing, upholstery, and flooring. Looking at another salvage trailer this week for fresh h2o tank and...? Best milage was 10.1. Detroit Diesel & 5 spd.
Good, fun project...but I don't think $3,500 would get you very far unless you just want to throw some cots and a porta potti in there and go camping. That would be fun too. |
