I wanna be trailer trash.
I'm tired of paying mortgage bills, utility bills, property taxes.
I want to live more simply, pack up the dog and move into a travel-trailer.
I don't mind being called 'trailer trash', but I want to get your opinion.
Think I will fit in?

I've seen this before -- truly stunning! Of course, you only get about 3 mpg, so I hope you have a large 401k.

Re: I wanna be trailer trash.
Thats a beaut. I was just looking for camper adapter for my tacoma ( found a light weight one (#600) for about 10K. I get 22 mpg in the tacoma and I'm seriously considering getting the camper to tour the country. If you get that one, I'll help with the gas if you pull me around.

Re: I wanna be trailer trash.
Lets see, old "pusher" diesel school bus, Home depot credit card, tool box, about a year of playing around, and shazaaaam, ya could build ya a redneck version of that pig for the price of a couple of new Kias
OR, start with a 6X10 cargo trailer ya already own, and make ya a Hillbilly Airstream, complete with fridge, stove, bed, lights, etc.
and ya get to have NO PAYMENTS

Re: I wanna be trailer trash.
adirondakjack: Much more my style... though I doubt my 80hp Escort could pull it...
I'd be a bit more inclined to go a touch larger - say a 2 horse trailer with tack room - so I'd have space for gun gear... plus a 60s Bronco 1 to pull it.

Re: I wanna be trailer trash.
Is this degenerating into an RV topic?
That IS nice Bryan. That is much more the wife's style of camping.
What we do have (and will likely sell) is a Trail Manor 2720SL. It has been around and tows wonderfully. I just checked and prices have certainly risen since we got ours!
If it was JUST me, I'd go with a teardrop. I think they're cool.

Re: I wanna be trailer trash.
I did some work for a guy who got one of those. He bought the painted shell from Canada and had it finished in TN somewhere. The interior cost him just over $2 milion. It was stunning. It had a pretty big gun safe. His house was probably worth $425 thousand.

Re: I wanna be trailer trash.
Now that we're past the "bling" of it, lets look at the serious side.
RVs of this type are the most obvious symbol of a culture that has forsaken it's roots in the ethics of building an estate and valuing equity. Folks cash in HOUSES they paid dearly for (thirty years of mortgage interest) for something that loses half it's value in a short couple of years. Ya bolt the plates on it and lose 100 grand!!!!! Worse yet, ya re-fi the house, buy an RV, and yer in the "junk mortgage" status that is part of how this country went to hell in the last decade.
Time was a man wanted to build an estate for his kids. Now it's more common to follow a scorched earth policy that burns it all up on toys, ending up in a nursing home and on relief.....
What the hell ever happened to buying what ya can afford NOW, without losing the ranch in the process?

PS, I know a few people who have those really top end motor homes. They are in a situation where the price of fuel, insurance etc means little or nothing to them. Hard for regular folks to comprehend, but there it is. I also know quite a few who have sold the house and live the lifestyle of the full-time RV'er, they seem quite happy and few if any of them have shot the entire wad on the RV, they have investments that keep them going. Most if not all eventually get tired or old or something and go back to a stickbuilt house. Their money, their choice.

FWIW, it costs less per day to live on a Caribbian Cruiseliner than a Nursing Home, and the help is probably better too...
