>be me>plan to buy camper to live in friends backyard>midwest but i probably will not stay in it thru winterAnything I should lookout for? Obviously i want a maintained roof and no prior leaks. Im looking at 4-6000 campers right now and wondering if I might as well drop 8-12k I already have an outdoor kitchen,Maybe I will build a roof or porch for it. Any advice or considerations on buying and also living in an older camper?
>>2844081Its cheaper to build covered parking than buy a non leaking trailer.You can also get a much larger trailer for the same price if youre willing to go the leaky route.
>>2844081You're looking at a minimum of $25K for something as new as your picture. $10K for signing old but in decent shape.
>>2844092>buy a leakerNaww i dont want any mold and i figure i might as well spend 8000 or whatever. and sell it in a couple years and break even, or lose 500--2000.I do think I will frame a cheap and decent roof for it to protect the investment tho>>2844146>25k mininumunumI do not want whatevers in the photo. I just found a quick random photo. Damnit i should of realized how easily people get sidetracked by photos. Especially photos with womens in them
>>2844081Would.>t. I've had 3 campers and you'll never find anything that doesn't leak in the next 3 years in this price range. >PS trailers are retarded
>>2844191>trailers are retardedAny better idea for quick shelter?I would like to frame up a shack and put a diesel heater in it . But it would be like 2-3k in material to have a decently build shack thats also not really sellable like a camper for when i move outMaybe a school bus?
I found a 35 ft 1996 triple axel fifth wheel with two popouts for $1000. It was obviously resealed a few times. After a hard rain I found a small leak near a popout.Sealed it up properly and its been dry. The inside was fucking disgusting as a family of 5 was living in it full time. I took a day and cleaned it all out,carpets, walls, ect.Converted it all to LED. Thankfully, furnace works, Fridge works, everything works on it. I plan to build a carport over the top of it. Its like my basecamp / hangout spot as I build my property.My wife's parents bought a new one for 30k. They used it three times, it leaks, the furnace doesn't work, they broke a window, and it just sits in their shop taking up the entire place.DO NOT WASTE MONEY ON A CAMPER.LOWBALL HARDCORE WALK AWAY>>2844208I got a 13x20 metal shedkit off amazon for 1k, built it, then bought a 400$ closed fell foam spray kit from home depot. Threw in a heater and it was around 2k for the build.LOLI think what you need to do is set a hard limit of 3,000, that is it, the rest is savings. Make it happen on the cheap because youl learn a lot.
>>2844081Expect mice. Lots of mice. You're going to go through a lot of propane too.
>>2844243That shed kit sounds cool but godamn i hate metal and would build with wood. If it was my property I would timber frame or stick frame a cozy ass house..>3000 limit Thats what i was originally thinking. My buddy even has a beater for $750 i could throw a diesel heater in and use my propane water heater for showers and dishes...but im about to pay 6 or 7000 for a 2010 tomorrow if it all works like they said.I figure when I sell it I will break even or lose 1-2k after using it a few years>build a carportYeah whats your design and materials?Im deciding between a lean to or gable roof that covers the whole top and also extends into a fromt porch over the whole front
>>2844081>Anything I should lookout forforget a camper, get a flatbed trailer. get a shed and convert it into a cabin or build a box on top of the flatbed yourself.
>>2844284>build a house on a trailer aka tinyhousdYeah Ive also been considering this route and imagine it to hold good resale value.Ive seen some cool designs that have a loft type bedroom area
