Investigating a business plan for a turn key AS

[rwrussom]

I would appreciate your input. I am and architect who has also built and remodeled homes by my own hand. I have cabinet making experience and various finish skills also. I have also done some marine refitting design. I say all this only to confirm that I have the skill set for efficient quality work. I have found my most satisfying work being my own projects and find the scale and challenge of an AS redo to be an exciting prospect.
I have spent some time with the economics of the project and have a clue as to the amount of work.

I guess the real question is if there is a market for turn key body off remodels. Accurate restorations are of little interest to me, these would be custom interiors with top quality finishes.

What size range would cover the largest buyer base? 25-28 seams right from my research, but there are also arguments for going bigger. The cost per foot certainly goes down as the trailer gets larger so the profit potential increases.

Would you consider the cost of a new AS of similar size to be the limit of what the market would pay or is there room beyond that for the better finish work?

I am sure I will expand on this as time goes by.

Thanks in advance for your input.
