Fifth Wheel Trailer From Scratch
Whether I build from scratch or start with a semi shell, I plan to use spray foam insulation. Seems to me that will protect the shell from condensation. As far as the customizing aspects of building from scratch go, I do like the idea of having full control. I envision an unadorned exterior (probabl...

Fifth Wheel Trailer From Scratch
Mark R's suggestion about converting a semi trailer has merit, and it's one I've thought about. I love the thought of air brakes and commercial axles, but some other issues stand in my way. First, I don't want our home to be so high in the air. A drop deck trailer would mostly solve that concern but...

I Found It!
I found it immediately after hitting the send button on my request for help. Thanks anyway. We're in the process of shedding a six-year experiment with middle class living and moving into our '87 Flxible Metro transit.
