My 35' travel trailer is my house also. With my truck it's full out 17-18000-lbs. 14-16/mpg towing. 24-mpg highway solo. I need two AC units, not 4-6. Still have 95-GPS fresh water. Washer/dryer. Etc.

I can change the tow vehicle any time.

My point about size/weight was in line with practicality. Go back and re-read what I wrote. It wasn't a criticism of the choice. Mines not "better". But it's a helluva lot lighter. And will last as long or longer. Freebeards trailer is well past a half century. Mines a mere babe at 26.

As you're altering sheet metal and structure, you really do have some nice options. And you should of examine aeroheads threads/posts on trailers for a bus type vehicle.

So, grab a cold one and drink in the mysteries of the video above.
