My wife and I bought ours in less than perfect condition. We have decided after seeing many beautiful refits that we wanted a retro look.

It is parked for the Summer at a campground about an hour from home. We visit every weekend and design a part of it and build/work on the parts we designed the weekend before.

Having to bring everything with us when we work on the trailer makes us really think about what we're doing. Living in it each weekend as we design forces us to really consider our choices.

We usually have an idea in our head during the week. We talk about it, change it then change it some more. When we arrive at the trailer we try and imagine the new idea in place and of course it goes through a whole new set of rethinks now we are physically in the trailer.

By the end of the weekend we usually have a game plan for what work we are going to do next weekend.

I want to get everything done in one go, my wife enjoys the journey. We are both changing a little in the process and the trailer is the catalyst.
