.....spend $30k on the truck and $20k on the trailer and you are going to have a top of the line RV Conversion-doing it yourself....ALSO if you aren't handy with tools I suggest one looks at RacingJunk.com.....they are giving away stuff at bare bones pricing in many cases....the markup in custom built vehicles is about 5/7 or more to 1 and now there are good rigs in the 2 to 1 category and with cash one can beat that down.....I see a lot of stuff with a "take over payments" tag....A few of the owners I have talked to are letting go of their stuff for current value minus a chunk-just to get it off the balance sheet......one entertainer asked if I was willin' to spend some time with her on the road as a inducement.....I can't sing a note or play any kind of instrument-so I passed......[she was older than I anyway-and did church type stuff]....keep at your dreams as it is still cheaper to live on the road than in sticks and bricks....geofkaye
