[QUOTE="Vollmer, post: 135415, member: 8014"] Picked this up for a couple hundred bucks. Tires are good. Frame is good. Shell is good. Has a stove and a furnace. I might keep the stove in it. I will likely scrap the furnace and get a smaller wall hanger ventless unit. Going to completely gut it then spray foam the interior (1" thick). Should help rigid things back up after gutting it. Will likely put 2 flip down bunks in it (padding for camper seats still in it) It is 15' long so it won't be huge, but big enough. Thinking 4-6 holes ... we'll see. My uncle figures we can use the axles that are there and fabricate it into drop axles with nylon winches. Guess on costs: $400-$500 for foam $100 for hole covers $150 for heater $100 for lumber and other odds n ends. $100 in iron $100 for winches Hoping to be not too far over $1200 to get it initially built and fishing. I will add photos as we build. [ATTACH=CONFIG]8301._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
